Tighter sum uncertainty relations via metric-adjusted skew information

In this paper, we first provide three general norm inequalities, which are used to give new uncertainty relations of any finite observables and quantum channels via metric-adjusted skew information. The results are applicable to its special cases as Wigner-Yanase-Dyson skew information. In quantifying the uncertainty of channels, we discuss two types of lower bounds and compare the tightness between them, meanwhile, a tight lower bound is given. The uncertainty relations obtained by us are stronger than the existing ones. To illustrate our results, we give several specific examples.

Quantum properties in the four-node network

There are different preparable quantum states in different network structures. The four nodes as a whole has two situations: one is the four nodes in a plane, the other is the four nodes in the space. In this paper, we obtain some properties of the quantum states that can be prepared in four-node network structures. These include the properties of entropy, entanglement measure, rank and multipartite entangled states. These properties also mean that the network structures impose some constraints on the states that can be prepared in a four-node quantum network. In order to obtain these properties we also define $n$-partite mutual information of the quantum system, which satisfies symmetry requirement.

Tighter monogamy relations in multiparty quantum systems

We investigate tight monogamy relations of multiparty quantum entanglement for any quantum state in this paper. First, we obtain a class of lower bounds for multiparty quantum systems which improve the previous results. Next, we establish a class of tighter monogamy relations in tripartite quantum systems by means of the new inequality. Furthermore, we generalize this relations to multiparty quantum systems. And then we prove the lower bounds we obtained are larger than the existing ones. Detailed examples are provided at last.

On coherence of quantum operations by using Choi-Jamiołkowski isomorphism

In quantum information, most information processing processes involve quantum channels. One manifestation of a quantum channel is quantum operation acting on quantum states. The coherence of quantum operations can be considered as a quantum resource, which can be exploited to perform certain quantum tasks. From the viewpoint of Choi-Jamiołkowski isomorphism, we study the coherence of quantum operations in the framework of resource theory. We define the phase-out superoperation and give the operation which transforms the Choi-Jamiołkowski state of a quantum operation to the Choi-Jamiołkowski state of the another quantum operation obtained by using the phase-out superoperation to act on the quantum operation. The set of maximally incoherent superoperations, the set of nonactivating coherent superoperations and the set of de-phase incoherent superoperations are defined and we prove that these sets are closed to compound operation and convex combination of quantum superoperations. Further, we introduce the fidelity coherence measure of quantum operations and obtain the exact form of the fidelity coherence measure of the unitary operations on the single qubit.

The block-coherence measures and the coherence measures based on positive-operator-valued measures

We mainly study the block-coherence measures based on resource theory of block-coherence and the coherence measures based on positive-operator-valued measures (POVM). Several block-coherence measures including a block-coherence measure based on maximum relative entropy, the one-shot block coherence cost under the maximally block-incoherent operations, and a coherence measure based on coherent rank have been introduced and the relationships between these block-coherence measures have been obtained. We also give the definition of the maximally block-coherent state and describe the deterministic coherence dilution process by constructing block-incoherent operations. Based on the POVM coherence resource theory, we propose a POVM-based coherence measure by using the known scheme of building POVM-based coherence measures from block-coherence measures, and the one-shot block coherence cost under the maximally POVM-incoherent operations. The relationship between the POVM-based coherence measure and the one-shot block coherence cost under the maximally POVM-incoherent operations is analysed.

Optimal convex approximations of quantum states based on fidelity

We investigate the problem of optimally approximating a desired state by the convex mixing of a set of available states. The problem is recasted as finding the optimal state with the minimum distance from target state in a convex set of usable states. Based on the fidelity, we define the optimal convex approximation of an expected state and present the complete exact solutions with respect to an arbitrary qubit state. We find that the optimal state based on fidelity is closer to the target state than the optimal state based on trace norm in many ranges. Finally, we analyze the geometrical properties of the target states which can be completely represented by a set of practicable states. Using the feature of convex combination, we express this class of target states in terms of three available states.

Entanglement resource theory of quantum channel

Quantum channels can represent dynamic resources, which are indispensable elements in many physical scenarios. To describe certain facets of nonclassicality of the channels, it is necessary to quantify their properties. In the framework of resource theory of quantum channel, we show two general ways of constructing entanglement measure of channels. We also present several entanglement measures of channels based on the Choi relative entropy of channels, concurrence and $k$-ME concurrence and give some specific examples. These entanglement measures of channels can deepen the cognizing about channel and advance the research on the transformation between coherent resources and entangled resources. In addition, we prove that these measures satisfy the properties including nonnegativity, monotonicity, convexity and so on.

Remote preparation for single-photon state in two degrees of freedom with hyper-entangled states

Remote state preparation (RSP) provides a useful way of transferring quantum information between two distant nodes based on the previously shared entanglement. In this paper, we study RSP of an arbitrary single-photon state in two degrees of freedom (DoFs). Using hyper-entanglement as a shared resource, our first goal is to remotely prepare the single-photon state in polarization and frequency DoFs and the second one is to reconstruct the single-photon state in polarization and time-bin DoFs. In the RSP process, the sender will rotate the quantum state in each DoF of the photon according to the knowledge of the state to be communicated. By performing a projective measurement on the polarization of the sender's photon, the original single-photon state in two DoFs can be remotely reconstructed at the receiver's quantum systems. This work demonstrates a novel capability for long-distance quantum communication.

Detection of the quantum states containing at most $k-1$ unentangled particles

There are many different classifications of entanglement for multipartite quantum systems, one of which is based on the number of unentangled particles. In this paper, we mainly study the quantum states containing at most $k-1$ unentangled particles and provide several entanglement criteria based on different forms of inequalities which can both identify quantum states containing at most $k-1$ unentangled particles. We show that these criteria are more effective for some states by concrete examples.

Detection of multipartite entanglement via quantum Fisher information

In this paper, we focus on two different kinds of multipartite correlation, $k$-nonseparability and $k$-partite entanglement, both of which can describe the essential characteristics of multipartite entanglement. We propose effective methods to detect $k$-nonseparability and $k$-partite entanglement in terms of quantum Fisher information. We illustrate the significance of our results and show that they identify some $k$-nonseparability and $k$-partite entanglement that cannot be identified by known criteria by several concrete examples.

Deterministic transformations of multilevel coherent states under incoherence-preserving operations

Quantum coherence, emerging from the 'superposition' of quantum states, is widely used in various information processing tasks. Recently, the resource theory of multilevel quantum coherence is attracting substantial attention. In this paper, we mainly study the deterministic transformations of resource pure states via free operations in the theoretical framework for multilevel coherence. We prove that any two multilevel coherent resource pure states can be interconverted with a nonzero probability via a completely positive and trace non-increasing $k$-coherence-preserving map. Meanwhile, we present the condition of the interconversions of two multilevel coherent resource pure states under $k$-coherence-preserving operations. In addition, we obtain that in the resource-theoretic framework of multilevel coherence, no resource state is isolated, that is, given a multilevel coherent pure state $|ψ\rangle$, there exists another multilevel coherent pure state $|ϕ\rangle$ and a $k$-coherence-preserving operation $Λ_k$, such that $Λ_k(|ϕ\rangle)=|ψ\rangle$.

Detection of $k$-partite entanglement and $k$-nonseparability of multipartite quantum states

Identifying the $k$-partite entanglement and $k$-nonseparability of general $N$-partite quantum states are fundamental issues in quantum information theory. By use of computable inequalities of nonlinear operators, we present some simple and powerful $k$-partite entanglement and $k$-nonseparability criteria that works very well and allow for a simple and inexpensive test for the whole hierarchy of $k$-partite entanglement and $k$-separability of $N$-partite systems with $k$ running from $N$ down to 2. We illustrate their strengths by considering several examples in which our criteria perform better than other known detection criteria. We are able to detect $k$-partite entanglement and $k$-nonseparabilty of multipartite systems which have previously not been identified. In addition, our results can be implemented in today's experiments.

The verification of a requirement of entanglement measures

The quantification of quantum entanglement is a central issue in quantum information theory. Recently, Gao \emph{et al}. ( \href{http://dx.doi.org/10.1103/PhysRevLett.112.180501}{Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{112}, 180501 (2014)}) pointed out that the maximum of entanglement measure of the permutational invariant part of $ρ$ ought to be a lower bound on entanglement measure of the original state $ρ$, and proposed that this argument can be used as an additional requirement for (multipartite) entanglement measures. Whether any individual proposed entanglement measure satisfies the requirement still has to prove. In this work, we show that most known entanglement measures of bipartite quantum systems satisfy the new criterion, include all convex-roof entanglement measures, the relative entropy of entanglement, the negativity, the logarithmic negativity and the logarithmic convex-roof extended negativity. Our results give a refinement in quantifying entanglement and provide new insights into a better understanding of entanglement properties of quantum systems.

Strong superadditivity relations for multiqubit systems

We investigate the distributions of quantum coherence characterized by superadditivity relations in multipartite quantum systems. General superadditivity inequalities based on the $α$th ($α\geqslant 1$) power of $l_1$ norm of coherence are presented for multiqubit states, which include the existing ones as special cases. Our result is shown to be tighter than the existing one by a specific example.

Monogamy inequality in terms of entanglement measures based on distance for pure multiqubit states

Using very general arguments, we prove that any entanglement measures based on distance must be maximal on pure states. Furthermore, we show that Bures measure of entanglement and geometric measure of entanglement satisfy the monogamy inequality on all pure multiqubit states. Finally, using the power of Bures measure of entanglement and geometric measure of entanglement, we present a class of tight monogamy relations for pure states of multiqubit systems.

On six-photon entangled state emitted from a single third-order parametric down-conversion process

We consider six-photon entangled state emitted from a single third-order parametric down-conversion process. In the regime of weak nonlinearities, we present a symmetry detector which is capable of analyzing the twin-beam six-photon symmetric states. By cascading the symmetry detectors, as an application, it is shown that one can purify the desired six-photon entangled state from an arbitrary twin-beam six-photon symmetric state. With linear optics we propose a fruitful scheme for exploring a class of multimode-photon entangled states from third-order parametric down-conversion process. Furthermore, we provide a method to generate the six-photon polarization entangled Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state based on linear optics and weak nonlinearities.

Relations among $k$-ME concurrence, negativity, polynomial invariants, and tangle

The $k$-ME concurrence as a measure of multipartite entanglement (ME) unambiguously detects all $k$-nonseparable states in arbitrary dimensions, and satisfies many important properties of an entanglement measure. Negativity is a simple computable bipartite entanglement measure. Invariant and tangle are useful tools to study the properties of the quantum states. In this paper we mainly investigate the internal relations among the $k$-ME concurrence, negativity, polynomial invariants, and tangle. Strong links between $k$-ME concurrence and negativity as well as between $k$-ME concurrence and polynomial invariants are derived. We obtain the quantitative relation between $k$-ME ($k$=$n$) concurrence and negativity for all $n$-qubit states, give a exact value of the $n$-ME concurrence for the mixture of $n$-qubit GHZ states and white noise, and derive an connection between $k$-ME concurrence and tangle for $n$-qubit W state. Moreover, we find that for any $3$-qubit pure state the $k$-ME concurrence ($k$=2, 3) is related to negativity, tangle and polynomial invariants, while for $4$-qubit states the relations between $k$-ME concurrence (for $k$=2, 4) and negativity, and between $k$-ME concurrence and polynomial invariants also exist. Our work provides clear quantitative connections between $k$-ME concurrence and negativity, and between $k$-ME concurrence and polynomial invariants.
