Secure Direct Communication with a Quantum One-Time-Pad

Quantum secure direct communication is the direct communication of secret messages without first producing a shared secret key. It maybe used in some urgent circumstances. Here we propose a quantum secure direct communication protocol using single photons. The protocol uses batches of single photons prepared randomly in one of four different states. These single photons serve as a one-time-pad which are used directly to encode the secret messages in one communication process. We also show that it is unconditionally secure. The protocol is feasible with present-day technique.

Controlled order rearrangement encryption for quantum key distribution

A novel technique is devised to perform orthogonal state quantum key distribution. In this scheme, entangled parts of a quantum information carrier are sent from Alice to Bob through two quantum channels. However before the transmission, the orders of the quantum information carrier in one channel is reordered so that Eve can not steal useful information. At the receiver's end, the order of the quantum information carrier is restored. The order rearrangement operation in both parties is controlled by a prior shared control key which is used repeatedly in a quantum key distribution session.

A Two-Step Quantum Direct Communication Protocol Using Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen Pair Block

A protocol for quantum secure direct communication using blocks of EPR pairs is proposed. A set of ordered $N$ EPR pairs is used as a data block for sending secret message directly. The ordered $N$ EPR set is divided into two particle sequences, a checking sequence and a message-coding sequence. After transmitting the checking sequence, the two parties of communication check eavesdropping by measuring a fraction of particles randomly chosen, with random choice of two sets of measuring bases. After insuring the security of the quantum channel, the sender, Alice encodes the secret message directly on the message-coding sequence and send them to Bob. By combining the checking and message-coding sequences together, Bob is able to read out the encoded messages directly. The scheme is secure because an eavesdropper cannot get both sequences simultaneously. We also discuss issues in a noisy channel.

An Electron-Nucleon Double Spin Solid-State Quantum Computer

An electron-nucleon double spin(ENDOS) solid-state quantum computer scheme is proposed. In this scheme, the qubits are the nuclear spins of phosphorus ion implanted on the (111) surface of $^{28}$Si substrate. An $^{13}$C atom on a scanning tunnelling probe tip is used both to complete single qubit and two-qubit control-not operation, and single qubit measurement. The scheme does not require interactions between qubits, and can accomplish two qubits without the use of SWAP gate. This scheme is scalable, and can be implemented with present-day or near-future technologies.

Parallel Quantum Computing in a Single Ensemble Quantum Computer

We propose a parallel quantum computing mode for ensemble quantum computer. In this mode, some qubits can be in pure states while other qubits in mixed states. It enables a single ensemble quantum computer to perform $"$single-instruction-multi-data" type of parallel computation. In Grover's algorithm and Shor's algorithm, parallel quantum computing can provide additional speedup. In addition, it also makes a fuller use of qubit resources in an ensemble quantum computer. As a result, some qubits discarded in the preparation of an effective pure state in the Schulman-Varizani, and the Cleve-DiVincenzo algorithms can be re-utilized.

Experimental realization of a fetching algorithm in a 7 qubit NMR quantum computer

Searching for marked items from an unsorted database is an important scientific problem and a benchmark for computing devices as well. Using a 7-qubit liquid NMR quantum computer, we have demonstrated successfully an hybrid quantum fetching algorithm that finds marked items using only a single query. The essential idea is the operation of quantum computers in parallel. We gave the detailed pulse sequence for coherent control of the 7 qubits. The pulse sequence demonstrated here is not only useful for ensemble quantum computation, but also can be regarded as a general purpose control-gate which is useful for experimental design of quantum algorithms and general quantum information processing task in other quantum computer schemes. A generalization of the algorithm that is scalable to arbitrary qubit number is also provided.

Theoretical efficient high capacity Quantum Key Distribution Scheme

A theoretical quantum key distribution scheme using EPR pairs is presented. This scheme is efficient in that it uses all EPR pairs in distributing the key except those chosen for checking eavesdroppers. The high capacity is achieved because each EPR pair carries 2 bits of key code.

General Schemes for multi-particle d-dimensional Cat-like State Teleportation

Two kinds of $M$-particle d-dimensional cat-like state teleportation protocols are present. 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. It is also shown that the second protocol has a simple mathematical formulation that is identical to Bennett et al's original teleportation protocol for an unknown state of a single particle.

Entanglement in a two-identical-particle system

The definition of entanglement in identical-particle system is introduced. The separability criterion in two-identical particle system is given. The physical meaning of the definition is analysed. Applications to two-boson and two-fermion systems are made. It is found new entanglement and correlation phenomena in identical-boson systems exist, and they may have applications in the field of quantum information.

A novel SO(3) picture for quantum searching

An SO(3) picture of the generalized Grover's quantum searching algorithm,with arbitrary unitary transformation and with arbitrary phase rotations, is constructed. In this picture, any quantum search operation is a rotation in a 3 dimensional space. Exact formulas for the rotation angle and rotational axis are given. The probability of finding the marked state is just $(z+1)/2$, where z is the z-component of the state vector. Exact formulas for this probability is easily obtained. The phase matching requirement and the failure of algorithm when phase mismatches are clearly explained.

An intrinsic limitation on the size of quantum database

It is found that Grover's quantum search algorithm is not robust against phase inversion and Hadmard transformation inaccuracies. Imperfect phase inversions and Hadmard-Walsh transformations in Grover's quantum search algorithm lead to reductions in the maximum probability of the marked state and affect the efficiency of the algorithm. even in the absence of decoherence. Given the degrees of inaccuracies, we find that to guarantee half rate of success, the size of the database should be in the order of $O({1 \over δ^2})$, where $δ$ is the uncertainty.

Studies of the electric dipole transitions of deformed rare-earth nuclei

Spectrum and electric dipole transition rates and relative intensities in $^{152-154}$Sm, $^{156-160}$Gd, $^{160-162}$Dy are studied in the framework of the interacting boson model with s,p,d,f bosons. It is found that E1 transition data among the low-lying levels are in good agreement with the SU(3) dynamical symmetry of the spdf interacting boson model proposed by Engel and Iachello to describe collective rotation with octupole vibration. These results show that these nuclei have SU(3) dynamic symmetry to a good approximation. Also in this work many algebraic expressions for electric dipole transitions in the SU(3) limit of the spdf-IBM have been obtained. These formulae together with the formulae given previously exhaust nearly all the E1 transitions for low-lying negative parity states. They are useful in analyzing experimental data.

Phase matching in quantum searching

Each iteration in Grover's original quantum search algorithm contains 4 steps: two Hadamard-Walsh transformations and two amplitudes inversions. When the inversion of the marked state is replaced by arbitrary phase rotation θand the inversion for the prepared state |γ> is replaced by rotation through ϕ, we found that these phase rotations must satisfy a matching condition θ=ϕ. Approximate formula for the amplitude of the marked state after an arbitrary number of iterations are also derived. We give also a simple explanation of the phase matching requirement.

Arbitrary phase rotation of the marked state can not 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 in Grover's search algorithm can be used to construct a (less efficient) quantum search algorithm is cleared. The $π$ rotation of the phase of the marked state is not only the choice for efficiency, but also vital in Grover's quantum search algorithm. The results also show that Grover's quantum search algorithm is robust.
