State Discrimination

AbstractQuantum state discrimination of coherent states has been one of important problems in quantum information processing. Recently, R. Han et al. showed that minimum error discrimination of two coherent states can be nearly done by using Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian. In this paper, based on the result of R. Han et al., we propose the methods where minimum error discrimination of more than two weak coherent states can be nearly performed. Specially, we construct models which can do almost minimum error discrimination of three and four coherent states. Our result can be applied to quantum information processing of various coherent states.

Unambiguous State Discrimination

Abstract The nonorthogonality of coherent states is a fundamental property which prevents them from being perfectly and deterministically discriminated. Here, we present an experimentally feasible protocol for the probabilistic orthogonalisation of a pair of coherent states, independent of their amplitude and phase. In contrast to unambiguous state discrimination, a successful operation of our protocol is heralded without measuring the states. As such, they remain suitable for further manipulation and the obtained orthogonal states serve as a discretevariable basis. Therefore, our protocol doubles as a simple continuous-to-discrete variable converter, which may find application in hybrid continuous-discrete quantum information processing protocols.

Undesirable Property

Control fields in quantum information processing are almost by definition assumed to be classical. In reality, however, when such a field is used to manipulate the quantum state of qubits, the qubits always become slightly entangled with the field. For quantum information processing this is an undesirable property, as it precludes perfect quantum computing and quantum communication. Here we consider the interaction of atomic qubits with laser fields and quantify atom-field entanglement in various cases of interest. We find that the entanglement decreases with the average number of photons \bar{n} in a laser beam as $E\propto\log_2 \bar{n}/\bar{n}$ for $\bar{n}\rightarrow\infty$.

The preparation of a quantum register in an arbitrary superposed quantum state is an important operation for quantum computation and quantum information processing. Here, we present an efficient algorithm which requires a polynomial number of elementary operations for initializing the amplitude distribution of a quantum register.

Recently, dimensionality testing of a quantum state has received extensive attention (Ac{\'i}n et al. Phys. Rev. Letts. 2006, Scarani et al. Phys. Rev. Letts. 2006). Security proofs of existing quantum information processing protocols rely on the assumption about the dimension of quantum states in which logical bits are encoded. However, removing such assumption may cause security loophole. In the present paper, we show that this is indeed the case. We choose two players' quantum private query protocol by Yang et al. (Quant. Inf. Process. 2014) as an example and show how one player can gain an unfair advantage by changing the dimension of subsystem of a shared quantum system. To resist such attack we propose dimensionality testing in a different way. Our proposal is based on CHSH like game. As we exploit CHSH like game, it can be used to test if the states are product states for which the protocol becomes completely vulnerable.

Quantum Hypothesis Testing

As an important quantum resource, quantum coherence play key role in quantum information processing. It is often concerned with manipulation of families of quantum states rather than individual states in isolation. Given two pairs of coherent states $(\rho_1,\rho_2)$ and $(\sigma_1,\sigma_2)$, we are aimed to study how can we determine if there exists a strictly incoherent operation $\Phi$ such that $\Phi(\rho_i) =\sigma_i,i = 1,2$. This is also a classic question in quantum hypothesis testing. In this note, structural characterization of coherent preorder under strongly incoherent operations is provided. Basing on the characterization, we propose an approach to realize coherence distillation from rank-two mixed coherent states to $q$-level maximally coherent states. In addition, one scheme of coherence manipulation between rank-two mixed states is also presented.

Entangled Coherent States

Superposition of optical coherent states (SCS) [Formula: see text], possessing opposite phases, plays an important role as qubits in quantum information processing tasks like quantum computation, teleportation, key distribution, etc. and are of fundamental importance in testing quantum mechanics. Passage of such SCS from a 50:50 beam splitter leads to generation of entangled coherent states. Recently, ququats and qutrits defined in four- and three-dimensional Hilbert space, respectively, have attracted much attention as they offer advantage in secure quantum communication. However, practical utilization of these advantages essentially requires physical realization of quantum optical ququats and qutrits. Here, we define four new multi-photonic states (MPS) with [Formula: see text] (here, [Formula: see text] or 3 and [Formula: see text]) numbers of photon and show how the SCS can be used to encode ququat using these MPS as basis vectors of a four-dimensional Hilbert space. When these MPS fall upon a 50:50 beam splitter, the resulting states are bipartite four-component entangled coherent states (BFECS) equivalently representing the entangled ququats. We briefly discuss the photon statistical properties of such MPS and BFECS. We show that these MPS and BFECS can be synthesized using even coherent states as input to an interferometer. We give a simple linear optical protocol for almost perfect teleportation of a ququat encoded in SCS with the aid of BFECS as quantum channel. We also describe how these ququats can be used for realization of higher-dimensional BB84 protocol to increase the security of quantum key distribution. Finally, we discuss the possible advantages of using SCS as ququats and BFECS as quantum channel in different quantum information processing tasks.

We consider a one-dimensional array of superconducting transmission line resonators (TLRs). The TLRs are coupled by current-biased Josephson junctions, which act as tunable couplers between each two nearest TLRs, and a superconducting qubit is fabricated in the center of each TLR. We show that some important quantum information processing, such as quantum state transfer and preparation of remote entanglement, can be achieved in this system, and we also propose a scheme for generating the W-class states.
