Symmetric multiparty-controlled teleportation of an arbitrary two-particle entanglement

We present a way for symmetric multiparty-controlled teleportation of an arbitrary two-particle entangled state based on Bell-basis measurements by using two Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, i.e., a sender transmits an arbitrary two-particle entangled state to a distant receiver, an arbitrary one of the n+1 agents, via the control of the others in a network. It will be shown that the outcomes in the cases that n is odd or is even are different in principle as the receiver has to perform a controlled-NOT operation on his particles for reconstructing the original arbitrary entangled state in addition to some local unitary operations in the former. Also we discuss the applications of this controlled teleporation for quantum secret sharing of classical and quantum information. As all the instances can be used to carry useful information, its efficiency for qubit approaches the maximal value.

High-dimensional multi-particle cat-like state teleportation

Two kinds of M-particle d-dimensional Schmidt-form entangled state teleportation protocols are presented. In the first protocol, the teleportation is achieved by d-dimensional Bell-basis measurements, while in the second protocol it is realized by d-dimensional GHZ-basis measurement.

Arbitrary Phase Rotation of the Marked State Cannot Be Used for Grover's Quantum Search Algorithm

A misunderstanding that an arbitrary phase rotation of the marked state together with the inversion about average operation can be used to construct a (less efficient) quantum search algorithm is cleared. The rotation of the phase of the marked state is not only the choice for efficiency, but also vital in Grovers quantum search algorithm. The results also show that Grovers quantum search algorithm is robust.

Quantum secure direct communication

Quantum communication exploits the principles of quantum mechanics in the transmision and processing of information. It has the advantages of high security and high capacity. Quantum secure direct communication (QSDC) is a new mode of quantum coomunication by Long and Liu in which secret information can be transmitted securely and directly over quantum channels. Since it was first proposed in 2000, QSDC has been developed very fast. In this review, we will explain the basic principles of QSDC and describe some typical QSDC protocols. Toward the end of the review, we will introduce the new trends in the QSDC research and give a perspectiv of QSDC research.

Measuring-Basis Encrypted Quantum Key Distribution with Four-State Systems

A measuring-basis encrypted quantum key distribution scheme is proposed by using twelve nonorthogonal states in a four-state system and the measuring-basis encryption technique. In this scheme, two bits of classical information can be encoded on one four-state particle and the transmitted particles can be fully used.

Fault-Tolerate Three-Party Quantum Secret Sharing over a Collective-Noise Channel

We present a fault-tolerate three-party quantum secret sharing (QSS) scheme over a collective-noise channel. Decoherence-free subspaces are used to tolerate two noise modes, a collective-dephasing channel and a collective-rotating channel, respectively. In this scheme, the boss uses two physical qubits to construct a logical qubit which acts as a quantum channel to transmit one bit information to her two agents. The agents can get the information of the private key established by the boss only if they collaborate. The boss Alice encodes information with two unitary operations. Only single-photon measurements are required to rebuilt Alices information and detect the security by the agents Bob and Charlie, not Bell-state measurements. Moreover, Almost all of the photons are used to distribute information, and its success efficiency approaches 100% in theory.

Isospin and symmetry structure in the f7/2 shell 44–48Ti isotopes

The interacting boson model 3 has been used to study the nuclear level structures and electromagnetic transition probabilities for Ti44-48 isotopes. This helps us to identify some low-lying mixed symmetry states. We have analysed the wavefunctions and given the symmetry labelling of the states. The analysis is consistent with the available data. The isospin excitation states with T > T-Z are also studied, and comparison with experimental data is given.

Relativistic consistent angular-momentum projected shell-model: Relativistic mean field

We develop a relativistic nuclear structure model, relativistic consistent angular-momentum projected shell-model (RECAPS), which combines the relativistic mean-field theory with the angular-momentum projection method. In this new model, nuclear ground-state properties are first calculated consistently using relativistic mean-field (RMF) theory. Then angular momentum projection method is used to project out states with good angular momentum from a few important configurations. By diagonalizing the hamiltonian, the energy levels and wave functions are obtained. This model is a new attempt for the understanding of nuclear structure of normal nuclei and for the prediction of nuclear properties of nuclei far from stability. In this paper, we will describe the treatment of the relativistic mean field. A computer code, RECAPS-RMF, is developed. It solves the relativistic mean field with axial-symmetric deformation in the spherical harmonic oscillator basis. Comparisons between our calculations and existing relativistic mean-field calculations are made to test the model. These include the ground-state properties of spherical nuclei O-16 and Pb-208, the deformed nucleus Ne-20. Good agreement is obtained.

Partial Hermitian Conjugate Separability Criteria for Pure Quantum States

We propose a criterion for the separability of quantum pure states using the concept of a partial Hermitian conjugate. It is equivalent to the usual positive partial transposition criteria, with a simple physical interpretation.

Secure Direct Communication Using Ensembles with the Same Compressed Density Matrix

In this paper, a quantum secure direct communication protocol using ensembles with the same density matrix is proposed. The two communication parties can realize the message transmission using this method through a quantum channel, each bit of information can be transmitted using an ensemble and read out through global measurement. The eavesdropping behavior can be detected through the channel diagnoses.
