Probabilistic Secret Sharing Through Noisy Quantum Channels

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.

Locally Unextendible Non-Maximally Entangled Basis

We introduce the concept of the locally unextendible non-maximally entangled basis (LUNMEB) in $H^d \bigotimes H^d$. It is shown that such a basis consists of $d$ orthogonal vectors for a non-maximally entangled state. However, there can be a maximum of $(d-1)^2$ orthogonal vectors for non-maximally entangled state if it is maximally entangled in $(d-1)$ dimensional subspace. Such a basis plays an important role in determining the number of classical bits that one can send in a superdense coding protocol using a non-maximally entangled state as a resource. By constructing appropriate POVM operators, we find that the number of classical bits one can transmit using a non-maximally entangled state as a resource is $(1+p_0\frac{d}{d-1})\log d$, where $p_0$ is the smallest Schmidt coefficient. However, when the state is maximally entangled in its subspace then one can send up to $2\log (d-1) $ bits. We also find that for $d= 3$, former may be more suitable for the superdense coding.

Quantum Dissension: Generalizing Quantum Discord for Three-Qubit States

We introduce the notion of quantum dissension for a three-qubit system as a measure of quantum correlations. We use three equivalent expressions of three-variable mutual information. Their differences can be zero classically but not so in quantum domain. It generalizes the notion of quantum discord to a multipartite system. There can be multiple definitions of the dissension depending on the nature of projective measurements done on the subsystems. As an illustration, we explore the consequences of these multiple definitions and compare them for three-qubit pure and mixed GHZ and W states. We find that unlike discord, dissension can be negative. This is because measurement on a subsystem may enhance the correlations in the rest of the system. This approach can pave a way to generalize the notion of quantum correlations in the multiparticle setting.

Deletion, Bell's Inequality, Teleportation

In this letter we analyze the efficacy of the entangled output of Pati-Braunstein deletion machine [3] as a teleportation channel. We analyze the possibility of it violating the Bell's inequality. Interestingly we find that for all values of the input parameter$α$ the state does not violate the Bell's inequality but when used as a teleportation channel can give a fidelity higher than the classical optimum (i.e 2/3).

Quantum Correlations in Quantum Cloning

We utilize quantum discord to charecterize the correlation present in Buzek-Hillery quantum copying machine \cite{bh} (not necessarily universal quantum cloning machine). In other words we quantify the correlation present beetween the original and the replicated copy of the quantum state obtained at the outport port, Interestingly, we find some domain of the machine parameter, for which the quantum disord is non negative even in the mere absence of entanglement. These non zero values of the quantum discord is a strong signature for the presence of non classical correlations. This is one step forward evidence in the support of the fact that quantum discord and entanglement are not synonymous.

Purification of Mixed State with Closed Timelike Curve is not Possible

In ordinary quantum theory any mixed state can be purified in an enlarged Hilbert space by bringing an ancillary system. The purified state does not depend on the state of any extraneous system with which the mixed state is going to interact and on the physical interaction. Here, we prove that it is not possible to purify a mixed state that traverses a closed time like curve (CTC) and allowed to interact in a consistent way with a causality-respecting (CR) quantum system in the same manner. Thus, in general for arbitrary interactions between CR and CTC systems there is no universal 'Church of the larger Hilbert space' for mixed states with CTC. This shows that in quantum theory with CTCs there can exist 'proper' and 'improper' mixtures.

Secret Broadcasting of GHZ type state

Here we described a protocol by which one can broadcast GHZ-type states secretly. We have done this with the help of a cloning machine followed by subsequent measurements. We also made a comparative study of the amount of residual tangle present in these entangled states, obtained as outputs of the measurements.

Teleportation via a mixture of a two qubit subsystem of a N-qubit W and GHZ state

In this work we study a state which is a random mixture of a two qubit subsystem of a $N$-qubit W state and GHZ state. We analyze several possibilities like separability criterion (Peres-Horodecki criterion [14,15]), non violation of Bell's inequality [6]($M(ρ)<1$)and teleportation fidelity [1,2,3,4] ($(F_{max}>{2/3})$) for this state. We also obtain a relationship between $N$ (number of qubits) and $p$ (the classical probability of random mixture) for each of these possibilities. Finally we present a detailed analysis of all these possibilities for $N=3,4,5$ qubit systems. We also report that for N=3 and $p\in(.75,1]$, this entangled state can be used as a teleportation channel without violating Bell's inequality.

Entanglement and Mixed ness of Locally Cloned Non - Maximal W - State

In this work we describe a protocol by which two of three parties generate two bipartite entangled state among themselves without involving third party, from a non maximal W state or W - type state $|X>=α|001>_{123}+β|010>_{123}+γ|100>_{123}, α^{2} + β^{2} + γ^{2} = 1$ shared by three distant partners. Also we have considered the case $β=γ$, to obtain a range for $α^2$, for which the local output states are separable and non local output states are inseparable. We also find out the dependence of the mixed ness of inseparable states with their amount of inseparability, for that range of $α^2$.

Secret Broadcasting of W-type state

In this work we describe a protocol by which one can secretly broadcast W-type state among three distant partners. This work is interesting in the sense that we introduce a new kind of local cloning operation to generate two W- type states between these partners from a W-type state initially shared by them.

Quantum Cloning, Bell's Inequality and Teleportation

We analyze a possibility of using the two qubit output state from Buzek-Hillery quantum copying machine (not necessarily universal quantum cloning machine) as a teleportation channel. We show that there is a range of values of the machine parameter $ξ$ for which the two qubit output state is entangled and violates Bell-CHSH inequality and for a different range it remains entangled but does not violate Bell-CHSH inequality. Further we observe that for certain values of the machine parameter the two-qubit mixed state can be used as a teleportation channel. The use of the output state from the Buzek-Hillery cloning machine as a teleportation channel provides an additional appeal to the cloning machine and motivation of our present work.

Two Party Non-Local Games

In this work we have introduced two party games with respective winning conditions. One cannot win these games deterministically in the classical world if they are not allowed to communicate at any stage of the game. Interestingly we find out that in quantum world, these winning conditions can be achieved if the players share an entangled state. We also introduced a game which is impossible to win if the players are not allowed to communicate in classical world (both probabilistically and deterministically), yet there exists a perfect quantum strategy by following which, one can attain the winning condition of the game.

Partial Swapping, Unitarity and No-signalling

It is a well known fact that an quantum state $|ψ(θ,ϕ)>$ is represented by a point on the Bloch sphere, characterized by two parameters $θ$ and $ϕ$. In a recent work we already proved that it is impossible to partially swap these quantum parameters. Here in this work we will show that this impossibility theorem is consistent with principles like unitarity of quantum mechanics and no signalling principle.

Hybrid Quantum Cloning Machine

In this work, we introduce a special kind of quantum cloning machine called Hybrid quantum cloning machine. The introduced Hybrid quantum cloning machine or transformation is nothing but a combination of pre-existing quantum cloning transformations. In this sense it creates its own identity in the field of quantum cloners. Hybrid quantum cloning machine can be of two types: (i) State dependent and (ii) State independent or Universal. We study here the above two types of Hybrid quantum cloning machines. Later we will show that the state dependent hybrid quantum-cloning machine can be applied on only four input states. We will also find in this paper another asymmetric universal quantum cloning machine constructed from the combination of optimal universal B-H quantum cloning machine and universal anti-cloning machine. The fidelities of the two outputs are different and their values lie in the neighborhood of ${5/6} $

Self Replication and Signalling

It is known that if one could clone an arbitrary quantum state one could send signal faster than the speed of light. However it remains interesting to see that if one can perfectly self replicate an arbitrary quantum state, does it violate the no signalling principle? Here we see that perfect self replication would also lead to superluminal signalling.

Impossibility of partial swapping of Quantum Information

It is a well known fact that a quantum state $|ψ(θ,ϕ)>$ are represented by a point on the Bloch sphere, characterized by two parameters $θ$ and $ϕ$. Here in this work, we find out another impossible operation in quantum information theory . We name this impossibility as 'Impossibility of partial swapping of quantum information '. By this we mean that if two unknown quantum states are given at the input port, there exists no physical process, consistent with the principles of quantum mechanics, by which we can partially swap either of the two parameters $θ$ and $ϕ$ between these two quantum states. In this work we provided the impossibility proofs for the qubits(i.e the quantum states taken from two dimensional Hilbert space) and this impossible operation can be shown to hold in higher dimension also.
