Evolution equation of entanglement for general bipartite systems

We explore how entanglement of a general bipartite system evolves when one subsystem undergoes the action of an arbitrary noisy channel. It is found that the dynamics of entanglement for general bipartite systems under the influence of such channel is determined by the channel's action on the maximally entangled state, which includes as a special case the results for two-qubit systems [Nature Physics 4, 99 (2008)]. In particular, for multi-qubit or qubit-qudit systems, we get a general factorization law for evolution equation of entanglement with one qubit being subject to a noisy channel. Our results can help the experimental characterization of entanglement dynamics.

Gauge fields, point interactions and few-body problems in one dimension

Point interactions for the second derivative operator in one dimension are studied. Every operator from this family is described by the boundary conditions which include a $ 2 \times 2 $ real matrix with the unit determinant and a phase. The role of the phase parameter leading to unitary equivalent operators is discussed in the present paper. In particular it is shown that the phase parameter is not redundant (contrary to previous studies) if non stationary problems are concerned. It is proven that the phase parameter can be interpreted as the amplitude of a singular gauge field. Considering the few-body problem we extend the range of parameters for which the exact solution can be found using the Bethe Ansatz.

Generalized reduction criterion for separability of quantum states

A new necessary separability criterion that relates the structures of the total density matrix and its reductions is given. The method used is based on the realignment method [K. Chen and L.A. Wu, Quant. Inf. Comput. 3, 193 (2003)]. The new separability criterion naturally generalizes the reduction separability criterion introduced independently in previous work of [M. Horodecki and P. Horodecki, Phys. Rev. A 59, 4206 (1999)] and [N.J. Cerf, C. Adami and R.M. Gingrich, Phys. Rev. A 60, 898 (1999)]. In special cases, it recovers the previous reduction criterion and the recent generalized partial transposition criterion [K. Chen and L.A. Wu, Phys. Lett. A 306, 14 (2002)]. The criterion involves only simple matrix manipulations and can therefore be easily applied.

Canonical Form and Separability of PPT States in 2xMxN Composite Quantum Systems

We investigate the canonical forms of positive partial transposition (PPT) density matrices in ${\cal C}^2 \otimes {\cal C}^M \otimes {\cal C}^N$ composite quantum systems with rank $N$. A general expression for these PPT states are explicitly obtained. From this canonical form a sufficient separability condition is presented.

Separability and entanglement in 2x3xN composite quantum systems

The separability and entanglement of quantum mixed states in $\Cb^2 \otimes \Cb^3 \otimes \Cb^N$ composite quantum systems are investigated. It is shown that all quantum states $ρ$ with positive partial transposes and rank $r(ρ)\leq N$ are separable.

Quantum Teleportation: from Pure to Mixed States and Standard to Optimal

Teleportation for pure states, mixed states with standard and optimal protocols are introduced and investigated systematically. An explicit equation governing the teleportation of finite dimensional quantum pure states by a generally given non-local entangled state is presented. For the teleportation of a mixed state with an arbitrary mixed state resource, an explicit expression is obtained for the quantum channel associated with the standard teleportation protocol. The corresponding transmission fidelity is calculated. It is shown that the standard teleportation protocol is not optimal. The optimal quantum teleportation is further studied, its fidelity is given and shown to be related to the fully entangled fraction of the quantum resource, rather than the single fraction as in the standard teleportation protocol.

Point Interactions: PT-Hermiticity and Reality of the Spectrum

General point interactions for the second derivative operator in one dimension are studied. In particular, ${\mathcal P \mathcal T}$-self-adjoint point interactions with the support at the origin and at points $\pm l$ are considered. The spectrum of such non-Hermitian operators is investigated and conditions when the spectrum is pure real are presented. The results are compared with those for standard self-adjoint point interactions.

On Integrability of Many-Body Problems with Point Interactions

A study of the integrability of one-dimensional quantum mechanical many-body systems with general point interactions and boundary conditions describing the interactions which can be independent or dependent on the spin states of the particles is presented. The corresponding Bethe ansatz solutions, bound states and scattering matrices are explicitly given. Hamilton operators corresponding to special spin dependent boundary conditions are discussed.

Many Body Problems with "Spin"-Related Contact Interactions

We study quantum mechanical systems with "spin"-related contact interactions in one dimension. The boundary conditions describing the contact interactions are dependent on the spin states of the particles. In particular we investigate the integrability of $N$-body systems with $δ$-interactions and point spin couplings. Bethe ansatz solutions, bound states and scattering matrices are explicitly given. The cases of generalized separated boundary condition and some Hamiltonian operators corresponding to special spin related boundary conditions are also discussed.

An Exactly Solvable Model of Generalized Spin Ladder

A detailed study of an $S={1\over2}$ spin ladder model is given. The ladder consists of plaquettes formed by nearest neighbor rungs with all possible SU(2)-invariant interactions. For properly chosen coupling constants, the model is shown to be integrable in the sense that the quantum Yang-Baxter equation holds and one has an infinite number of conserved quantities. The R-matrix and L-operator associated with the model Hamiltonian are given in a limiting case. It is shown that after a simple transformation, the model can be solved via a Bethe ansatz. The phase diagram of the ground state is exactly derived using the Bethe ansatz equation.
