The correlations dynamics of two atoms in the case of a micromaser-type system is investigated. We show that the entangled state can be created by initially maximally mixed state and there exist collapse and revival phenomena for the time evolutions of both entanglement and quantum discord under the system considered as the field is initially in the Fock state. Our results confirm that entanglement and quantum discord have similar behaviors in certain time ranges, such as their oscillations during the time evolution being almost in phase, but they also present significant differences, such as quantum discord being maintained even after the complete loss of entanglement. Furthermore, we exhibit clearly that the dynamics of quantum discord under the action of environment are intimately related to the generation and evolution of entanglement.

In a realistic situation, the secret sharing of classical or quantum information will involve the transmission of this information through noisy channels. We consider a three qubit pure state. This state becomes a mixed-state when the qubits are distributed over noisy channels. We focus on a specific noisy channel, the phase-damping channel. We propose a protocol for secret sharing of classical information with this and related noisy channels. This protocol can also be thought of as cooperative superdense coding. We also discuss other noisy channels to examine the possibility of secret sharing of classical information.

The results of temperature and time (at T = 4.2 K ) dependent magnetization (M) measurements on polycrystalline high T c superconductor EuBa 2 Cu 3O7−δ are reported for different magnetic fields from 2.2 kOe to 35 kOe. The measurements were performed in the field-cooled regime (measuring the Meissner effect). A new phenomenon is found: the magnetization sign inversion from negative to positive during the time at which the external conditions (T, H) remains unchanged. The differential susceptibility in a new mixed state with M > 0 is diamagnetic. It is shown that origin of this state is not connected with a flux trapping, but rather caused by the unusual nature of the vortex themselves in FC mixed state of high T c superconductors.

We study, in general terms, the process by which a pure state can "self-thermalize" and appear to be described by a microcanonical density matrix. This requires a quantum mechanical version of the Gibbsian coarse graining that conceptually underlies classical statistical mechanics. We make use of some extra degrees of freedom that are necessary for this. Interaction between these degrees and the system can be understood as a process of resonant absorption and emission of "soft quanta." This intuitive picture allows one to state a criterion for when self thermalization occurs. This paradigm also provides a method for calculating the thermalization rate using the usual formalism of atomic physics for calculating decay rates. We contrast our prescription for coarse graining, which is somewhat dynamical, with the earlier approaches that are intrinsically kinematical. An important motivation for this study is the black hole information paradox.

The coarse-graining operation in hydrodynamics is equivalent to a change of scale which can be formalized as a renormalization group transformation. In particular, its application to the probability distribution of a self-gravitating fluid yields an "exact renormalization group equation" of Fokker-Planck type. Since the time evolution of that distribution can also be described by a Fokker-Planck equation, we propose a connection between both equations, that is, a connection between scale and time evolution. We finally remark on the essentially non-perturbative nature of astrophysical problems, which suggests that the exact renormalization group is the adequate tool for them.

We consider a single-Cooper-pair box biased by a classical voltage and also irradiated by a single-mode quantized field. We assume that the box is initially in a mixed state, and investigate the quantum dynamics of the Cooper-pair box and show that the collapse and revival phenomenon can exist in this system. We also study the quantum entropy of the single-Cooper-pair box and discuss the effects of the different parameters on this quantum entropy. We find that the box, which is initially in a mixed state, may evolve into an almost pure state.

In a recent work (Borras et al., Phys. Rev. A79 (2009) 022108), we have determined, for various decoherence channels, four-qubit initial states exhibiting the most robust possible entanglement. Here, we explore some geometrical features of the trajectories in state space generated by the decoherence process, connecting the initially robust pure state with the completely decohered mixed state obtained at the end of the evolution. We characterize these trajectories by recourse to the distance between the concomitant time-dependent mixed state and different reference states.

This paper studies the properties of state-time evolution patterns of one-dimensional linear cellular automata over the field ℤp (p prime) which are invariant under certain coarse-graining operations. A procedure is developed for finding all solutions to this invariance problem. The resulting patterns display a complexity which may range from periodic over self-similar, quasi-periodic, quasi-randomlike towards randomlike. Conditions for the existence of periodic solutions are derived.

A pure state of a physical system can be prepared in an infinite number of ways. Quantum theory dictates that given a pure state of a physical system it is impossible to distinguish two preparation procedures. Here, we show that the impossibility of distinguishing two preparation procedures for the same pure state follows from the no-signaling principle. Extending this result for a pure bipartite entangled state entails that the impossibility of distinguishing two preparation procedures for a mixed state follows from the impossibility of distinguishing two preparations for a pure bipartite state.Quanta 2020; 9: 16–21.
