Preserving entanglement and the fidelity of three-qubit quantum states undergoing decoherence using weak measurement

We demonstrate a method to preserve entanglement and improve fidelity of three-qubit quantum states undergoing amplitude-damping decoherence using weak measurement and quantum measurement reversal. It is shown that we are able to enhance entanglement to the greatest extent, and to circumvent entanglement sudden death by increasing the weak measurement strength both for the GHZ state and the W state. The weak measurement technique can also enhance the fidelity to the quantum region and even close to 1 for the whole range of the decoherence parameter in both of the two cases. In addition, the W state can maintain more fidelity than the GHZ state in the protection protocol. However, the GHZ state has a higher success probability than the W state.

Chaos Synchronization in Two Coupled Duffing Oscillators

We have obtained two general unstable periodic solutions near the homoclinic orbits of two coupled Duffing oscillators with weak periodic perturbations by using the direct perturbation technique. Theoretical analysis reveals that the stable periodic orbits are embedded in the Melnikov chaotic attractors. The corresponding numerical results show that the phase portraits in the (x,u) and (y,v) planes are identical and are synchronized when the parameters of the two coupled oscillators are identical, but they are different and asynchronized when there is any difference between these parameters. It has been shown that the system parameters play a very important role in chaos control and synchronization.

Plasmon resonance coupling in strongly coupled gold nanotube arrays with structural defects

We theoretically investigate the transmission spectra and the field distributions with different defects in the gold nanotube arrays by using the finite-difference time-domain method. It is found that the optical properties of the nanotube arrays are strongly influenced by different defects. When there are no defects in the central nanotube, the values of peaks located at both sides of the photonic band gap have their maxima. Based on the distributions of electric field component Ex and the total energy distribution of the electric and the magnetic field, we show that mainly a dipole field distribution is exhibited for the plasmon mode at the long-wavelength edge of the band gap but higher order modes of the composite are excited at the short-wavelength edge of the band gap. The plasmon resonant modes can also be controlled by introducing defects.

Nonlinear transport of Bose–Einstein condensates in a double barrier potential

The stable nonlinear transport of the Bose–Einstein condensates through a double barrier potential in a waveguide is studied. By using the direct perturbation method we have obtained a perturbed solution of Gross–Pitaevskii equation. Theoretical analysis reveals that this perturbed solution is a stable periodic solution, which shows that the transport of Bose–Einstein condensed atoms in this system is a stable nonlinear transport. The corresponding numerical results are in good agreement with the theoretical analytical results.

Effect of Dissipative Environments on Atomic-State Quantum Teleportation

In the paper, taking the atomic EPR entanglement states as quantum channel, we investigate the fidelity of quantum teleportation of atomic state in thermal environment and vacuum reservoir by means of quantum theory of damping-density operator approach, and the average fidelities are calculated, the results show that the atomic quantum channel state is more robust than in teleportation process when they are subject to the dissipative environments.

A Combined Reconstruction Algorithm for Limited-View Multi-Element Photoacoustic Imaging

We present a photoacoustic imaging system with a linear transducer array scanning in limited-view fields and develop a combined reconstruction algorithm, which is a combination of the limited-field filtered back projection (LFBP) algorithm and the simultaneous iterative reconstruction technique (SIRT) algorithm, to reconstruct the optical absorption distribution. In this algorithm, the LFBP algorithm is exploited to reconstruct the original photoacoustic image, and then the SIRT algorithm is used to improve the quality of the final reconstructed photoacoustic image. Numerical simulations with calculated incomplete data validate the reliability of this algorithm and the reconstructed experimental results further demonstrate that the combined reconstruction algorithm effectively reduces the artifacts and blurs and yields better quality of reconstruction image than that with the LFBP algorithm.
