Quantum Resonance near Optimal Eavesdropping in Quantum Cryptography

We find a resonance behavior in the disturbance when an eavesdropper chooses a near-optimal strategy intentionally or unintentionally when the usual Bennett-Brassard cryptographic scheme is performed between two trusted parties. This phenomenon tends to disappear when eavesdropping strategy moves far from the optimal one. Therefore, we conjecture that this resonant effect is a characteristic for the eavesdropping strategy near to optimal one. We argue that this effect makes the quantum cryptography more secure against the eavesdropper's attack.

GHZ versus W : Quantum Teleportation through Noisy Channels

Which state does lose less quantum information between GHZ and W states when they are prepared for two-party quantum teleportation through noisy channel? We address this issue by solving analytically a master equation in the Lindbald form with introducing the noisy channels which makes the quantum channels to be mixed states. It is found that the answer of the question is dependent on the type of the noisy channel. If, for example, the noisy channel is ($L_{2,x}$, $L_{3,x}$, $L_{4,x}$)-type where $L's$ denote the Lindbald operators, GHZ state is always more robust than W state, i.e. GHZ state preserves more quantum information. In, however, ($L_{2,y}$, $L_{3,y}$, $L_{4,y}$)-type channel the situation becomes completely reversed. In ($L_{2,z}$, $L_{3,z}$, $L_{4,z}$)-type channel W state is more robust than GHZ state when the noisy paramter ($κ$) is comparatively small while GHZ state becomes more robust when $κ$ is large. In isotropic noisy channel we found that both states preserve equal amount of quantum information. A relation between the average fidelity and entanglement for the mixed state quantum channels are discussed.

Quantum Teleportation and Von Neumann Entropy

The single qubit quantum teleportation (sender and receiver are Alice and Bob respectively) is analyzed from the aspect of the quantum information theories. The various quantum entropies are computed at each stage, which ensures the emergence of the entangled states in the intermediate step. The mutual information $S(B:C)$ becomes non-zero before performing quantum measurement, which seems to be consistent to the original purpose of the quantum teleportation. It is shown that if the teleported state $|ψ>$ is near the computational basis, the quantum measurement in $C$-system is dominantly responsible for the joint entropy $S(A,C)$ at the final stage. If, however, $|ψ>$ is far from the computational basis, this dominant responsibility is moved into the quantum measurement of system $A$. A possible extension of our results are briefly discussed.

Geometrical phase effects in biaxial nanomagentic particles

The oscillation of tunnel splitting are obtained by geometrical analysis of the topological Wess-Zumino phase on the basis of tunneling paths in biaxial nanomagnetic particles with magnetic field along the hard anisotropy axis. This theory not only just yields the previous quantum interference results for the ground state tunneling, but also gives the excited level splittings, all of which agree well with the numerical diagonalization. Furthermore, the parity effect in the asymmetric system which was recently discovered in experiment can be derived by similar arguments, and is also certified by using the complex periodic orbit theory. The possibility of improving the discrepancy with the experiment in the periods of oscillations is discussed.

Resonant tunnelling and quenching of tunnel splitting in Wess-Zumino nanospin systems

We investigate the energy spectrum of the biaxial spin systems with magnetic field along the hard anisotropy axis by using the complex periodic orbit theory. All important features of the system appearing in whole energy range, such as oscillations of level splittings due to Wess-Zumino effect and their absence at higher magnetic field etc., can be completely understood within this semiclassical scheme. We find out that the fields at which the tunnelling quenches do not shift at higher energy levels and the absences of the quenching at higher magnetic field have their origin in an exact coincidence of the quenching field with the field of resonant tunnelling. Based on the result, we propose that the complete cancellation of quenching with resonant tunnelling would be a general property of Wess-Zumino tunnelling systems.

Bifurcation of Periodic Instanton in Decay-Rate Transition

We investigate a bifurcation of periodic instanton in Euclidean action-temperature diagram in quantum mechanical models. It is analytically shown that multiple zero modes of fluctuation operator should be arised at bifurcation points. This fact is used to derive a condition for the appearance of bifurcation points in action-temperature diagram. This condition enables one to compute the number of bifurcation points for a given quantum mechanical system and hence, to understand the whole behaviour of decay rate. It is explicitly shown that the previous criterion derived by nonlinear perturbation or negative-mode consideration is special limit of our case.

Oscillation of the tunnel splitting in nanospin systems within the particle mapping formalism

The oscillation of tunnel splitting in the biaxial spin system within magnetic field along the anisotropy axis is analyzed within the particle mapping approach, rather than in the (θ-ϕ) spin coherent-state representation. In our mapping procedure, the spin system is transformed into a particle moving in the restricted $S^1$ geometry whose wave function subjects to the boundary condition involving additional phase shift. We obtain the new topological phase that plays the same role as the Wess-Zumino action in spin coherent-state representation. Considering the interference of two possible trajectories, instanton and anti-instanton, we get the identical condition for the field at which tunneling is quenched, with the previous result within spin coherent-state representation.

Quantum-classical phase transition of escape rate in biaxial spin system with an arbitrarily directed magnetic field

We investigate the escape rate of a biaxial spin particle with an arbitrarily dierected magnetic field in the easy plane, described by Hamiltonian ${\cal H} = -AS_z^2 - BS_x^2 -H_x S_x -H_z S_z, (A>B>0)$. We derive an effective particle potential by using the method of particle mapping. With the help of the criterion for the presence of a first-order quantum-classical transition of the escape rate we obtained various phase boundary curves depending on the anisotropy parameter $b \equiv B/A$ and the field parameters $α_{x,z} \equiv H_{x,z}/AS$ : $α_{zc}(b_c)'s, α_{xc}(b_c)'s$, and $α_{zc} = α_{zc}(α_{xc})$. It is found from $α_{zc}(b_c)'s$ and $α_{xc}(b_c)'s$ that the-first-order region decreases as $b$ and $α_x $ (or $α_z$) increase. The phase boundary line $α_{zc} = α_{zc}(α_{xc}) shows that compared with the uniaxial system, both the first- and second-oredr regions are diminished due to the transverse anisotropy. Moreover, it is observed that, in the limit $α_{xc} \to 0$, $α_{zc}$ does not coinsides with the coercive field line, which yields more reduction in the first-order region. We have also computed the crossover temperatures at the phase boundary :$T_c(b_c), T_c(α_{xc}, α_{zc})$.

Critical value of symmetry breaking parameter in the phase transition of decay rate

Phase transition of decay rate from quantum tunneling to thermal activity regimes is investigated in (3+1)-dimensional field theories with symmetry breaking term $fϕ$. By applying the two independent criteria for the sharp first-order transition to the same model, the upper and lower bounds of critical value of the symmetry breaking parameter are obtained. Unlike two dimensional case continuum states of the fluctuation operator near sphaleron solution play an important role to determine the type of transition.

Escape rate of a biaxial nanospin system in a magnetic field : first- and second-order transition between quantum and classical regimes

We investigate the escape rate of the biaxial nanospin particle with a magnetic field applied along the easy axis. The model studied here is described by the Hamiltonian ${\cal H} = -AS_z^2 - BS_x^2 - HS_z, (A>B>0)$. By reducing this Hamiltonian to a particle one, we derive, for the first time, an effective particle potential for this model and find an analytical form of the phase boundary line between first- and second-order transitions, from which a complete phase diagram can be obtained. We also derive an analytical form of the crossover temperature as a function of the applied field at the phase boundary.

Double-Well Potential : The WKB Approximation with Phase Loss and Anharmonicity Effect

We derive a general WKB energy splitting formula in a double-well potential by incorporating both phase loss and anharmonicity effect in the usual WKB approximation. A bare application of the phase loss approach to the usual WKB method gives better results only for large separation between two potential minima. In the range of substantial tunneling, however, the phase loss approach with anharmonicity effect considered leads to a great improvement on the accuracy of the WKB approximation.

Escape rate of the nanospin system in a magnetic field: the first-order phase transition within quantum regime

We have investigated the escape rate of the nanospin particle with a magnetic field applied along the easy axis. The model studied here is described by the Hamiltonian $\hat{\cal H} = K_1 \hat{S}_z^2 + K_2 \hat{S}_y^2 + gμ_b H \hat{S}_x $, $(K_1 > K_2 > 0)$ from which the escape rate is calculated within the semiclassical approximation. We have obtained a diagram for the orders of the phase transitions depending on the anisotropy constant and the external field. For $ K_2 / K_1 > 0.85$ the present model reveals, for the first time, the existence of the first-order transition within the quantum regime.

Equivalence of renormalization with self-adjoint extension in Green's function formalism

Energy-dependent Green's functions for the two and three dimensional $δ$-function plus harmonic oscillator potential systems are derived by incorporating the renormalization and the self-adjoint extension into the Green's function formalism, respectively. It is shown that both methods yield an identical Green's function if a certain relation between the self-adjoint extension parameter and the renormalized coupling constant is imposed.

Propagator for spinless and spin-1/2 Aharonov-Bohm-Coulomb systems

The propagator of the spinless Aharonov-Bohm-Coulomb system is derived by following the Duru-Kleinert method. We use this propagator to explore the spin-1/2 Aharonov-Bohm-Coulomb system which contains a point interaction as a Zeeman term. Incorporation of the self-adjoint extension method into the Green's function formalism properly allows us to derive the finite propagator of the spin-1/2 Aharonov-Bohm-Coulomb system. As a by-product, the relation between the self-adjoint extension parameter and the bare coupling constant is obtained. Bound-state energy spectra of both spinless and spin-1/2 Aharonov-Bohm-Coulomb systems are examined.

The Second Virial Coefficient of Spin-1/2 Interacting Anyon System

Evaluating the propagator by the usual time-sliced manner, we use it to compute the second virial coefficient of an anyon gas interacting through the repulsive potential of the form $g/r^2 (g > 0)$. All the cusps for the unpolarized spin-1/2 as well as spinless cases disappear in the $ω\to 0$ limit, where $ω$ is a frequency of harmonic oscillator which is introduced as a regularization method. As $g$ approaches to zero, the result reduces to the noninteracting hard-core limit.

The incident wave in Aharonov-Bohm scattering wavefunction

It is shown that only the infinite angular momentum quantum states contribute to the incident wave in Aharonov-Bohm (AB) scattering. This result is clearly shown by recalculating the AB calculation with arbitrary decomposition of summation over the angular momentum quantum numbers in wave function. It is motivated from the fact that the pole contribution in the integral representation used by Jackiw is given by only the infinite angular momentum states, in which the closed contour integration involving this pole gives just the incident wave.

Test of dilute gas approximation in quantum mechanical model

The validity of dilute gas approximation is explored by making use of the large-sized instanton in quantum mechanical model. It is shown that the Euclidean probability amplitude derived through a dilute gas approximation not only cannot explain the result of the linear combination of atomic orbitals approximation, but also does not exhibit a proper limiting case when the size of instanton is very large.
