Experimental Multipartite Entanglement Detection With Minimal-Size Correlations

Multiparticle entanglement is a valuable resource for quantum technologies, including measurement based quantum computing, quantum secret sharing, and a variety of quantum sensing applications. The direct way to detect this resource is to observe correlations arising from local measurements performed simultaneously on all particles. However, this approach is increasingly vulnerable to measurement imperfections when the number of particles grows, and becomes unfeasible for large-scale entangled states. It is therefore crucial to devise detection methods that minimize the number of simultaneously measured particles. Here we provide the first experimental demonstration of multipartite entanglement detection with minimal-size correlations, showing that our setup is robust to misalignment of the local measurement bases and enables the certification of genuine multipartite entanglement in a regime where the direct approach fails. Overall, our results indicate a promising route to the experimental detection of genuine multipartite entanglement in large-scale entangled states.

Slimmed optical neural networks with multiplexed neuron sets and a corresponding backpropagation training algorithm

Due to their intrinsic capabilities on parallel signal processing, optical neural networks (ONNs) have attracted extensive interests recently as a potential alternative to electronic artificial neural networks (ANNs) with reduced power consumption and low latency. Preliminary confirmation of the parallelism in optical computing has been widely done by applying the technology of wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) in the linear transformation part of neural networks. However, inter-channel crosstalk has obstructed WDM technologies to be deployed in nonlinear activation in ONNs. Here, we propose a universal WDM structure called multiplexed neuron sets (MNS) which apply WDM technologies to optical neurons and enable ONNs to be further compressed. A corresponding back-propagation (BP) training algorithm is proposed to alleviate or even cancel the influence of inter-channel crosstalk on MNS-based WDM-ONNs. For simplicity, semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) are employed as an example of MNS to construct a WDM-ONN trained with the new algorithm. The result shows that the combination of MNS and the corresponding BP training algorithm significantly downsize the system and improve the energy efficiency to tens of times while giving similar performance to traditional ONNs.

Photo-production of Higgs Boson at the LHeC

As one category of vector boson fusion, photo-production is one important production mechanism at $e$-$p$ colliders. A future $e$-$p$ collider -- Large Hadron-electron Collider (LHeC) has been discussed as a "Higgs factory" candidate where the Higgs boson produced via weak boson fusion (WBF) at the LHeC plays an important role in precision measurement of Yukawa couplings. On the other hand, a measurement of photo-production of the Higgs boson, if possible, might be complementary to the measurement of Higgs to di-photon partial decay width $Γ({h\toγγ})$. In this paper, we study the possibility of measuring this production process at the LHeC with the help of the photon PDFs published in recent years. This process has a clean final state without additional colored particles in the detectable region other than the decay products of the Higgs. We compute the cross sections of all related processes and find that the production rate is at the same order as the neutral current WBF production of Higgs boson with missing forward jets. However, a detailed phenomenological study of various Higgs decay channels shows that even in the most promising semi-leptonic $WW$ channel, the feasibility of identifying such photo-production is negative due to an irreducible photo-production of $W^{+}W^{-}$.

Probing the trilinear Higgs boson self-coupling via single Higgs production at the LHeC

The determination of the Higgs self coupling is one of the key ingredients for understanding the mechanism behind the electroweak symmetry breaking. An indirect method for constraining the Higgs trilinear self coupling via single Higgs production at next-to-leading order (NLO) has been proposed in order to avoid the drawbacks of studies with double Higgs production. In this paper we study the Higgs self interaction through the vector boson fusion (VBF) process $e^{-} p \to ν_{e} h j$ at the future LHeC. At NLO level, we compute analytically the scattering amplitudes for relevant processes, in particular those induced by the Higgs self interaction. A Monte Carlo simulation and a statistical analysis utilizing the analytic results are then carried out for Higgs production through VBF and decay to $b\bar{b}$, which yield for the trilinear Higgs self-coupling rescaling parameter $κ_λ$ the limit [-0.57, 2.98] with $2~\text{ab}^{-1}$ integrated luminosity. If we assume about 10% of the signal survives the event selection cuts, and include all the background, the constraint will be broadened to [-2.11, 4.63].

Probe Charm Yukawa at the future $e^{-}p$ and $e^{+}e^{-}$ colliders

Large Hadron Collider (LHC) has provided direct evidence of Yukawa couplings between the third generation charged fermions and the 125 GeV Higgs boson. Whether the first two generation charged fermions arise from exactly the same mechanism becomes the next interesting question. Therefore, direct measurements of charm or muon Yukawa couplings will be crucial to answering this puzzle. The charm Yukawa measurement at the LHC suffers from severe QCD background and it is extremely difficult to reach the sensitivity. In this paper, we compare the potential of probing charm Yukawa coupling at the two proposed future "Higgs Factory" experiments, the Large Hadron electron Collider (LHeC) and Circular electron positron collider (CEPC). At the LHeC, Higgs bosons will be produced via weak boson fusion and the energetic forward jet may suppress the background significantly. However, due to huge $γ-g$ scattering background, the potential of LHeC search is still limited. With $-80\%$ polarized electron beam of 60 GeV, the signal significance can only reach $2σ$ for $ κ_{c}\simeq 1$ with a 3 ab$^{-1}$ integrated luminosity. In comparison, measurement at the CEPC can then reach $8.0σ$ for $κ_{c}\simeq 1$ with a 2 ab$^{-1}$ of data.
