Round robin differential phase shift quantum key distribution with yes-no detectors only

In the original round-robin differential-phase-shift (RRDPS) quantum key distribution and its improved method, the photon-number-resolving detectors are must for the security. We present a RRDPS protocol with yes-no detectors only. We get the upper bounds of mutual information of Alice and Eve, and Bob and Eve, and the formula of key rate. Our main idea is to divide all counts into two classes, the counts due to the odd number photons of incident detectors and the counts due to the even number photons of incident detectors. The fact that the bit-flip error rate of the later class is certainly $50\%$ makes it possible for us to perform a tightened estimation of the upper bound of the leakage information. The robustness of original RRDPS against source flaws such as side-channel attacks still holds for the RRDPS with yes-no detectors. The simulation results show that the key rate of RRDPS with yes-no detectors is close to that of RRDPS with photon-number-resolving detectors. Our results make the RRDPS protocol much more practical.

Non-adiabatic conditional geometric phase shift with NMR

Conditional geometric phase shift gate, which is fault tolerate to certain errors due to its geometric property, is made by NMR technique recently under adiabatic condition. By the adiabatic requirement, the result is inexact unless the Hamiltonian changes extremely slowly in the process. However, in quantum computation, everything has to be completed within the decoherence time. High running speed of every gate in quantum computation is demanded because the power of quantum computer can be exponentially proportional to the maximum number of logic gate operation that can be taken sequentially within the decoherence time. Adiabatic condition makes any fast conditional Berry phase(cyclic adiabatic geometric phase) shift gate impossible. Here we show that by using a new designed sequence of simple operations with an additional vertical magnetic field, the conditional geometric phase shift can be done non-adiabatically. Therefore geometric quantum computation can be done in the same speed level of usual quantum computation.

Dynamics of Josephson junction systems in the computational subspace

The quantum dynamics of the Josephson junction system in the computational subspace is investigated. A scheme for the controlled not operation is given for two capasitively coupled SQUIDs. In this system, there is no systematic error for the two qubit operation. For the inductively coupled SQUIDs, the effective Hamiltonian causes systematic errors in the computational subspace for the two qubit operation. Using the purterbation theory, we construct a more precise effective Hamiltonian. This new effective Hamiltonian reduces the systematic error to the level much lower than the threshold of the fault resilent quantum computation.

On the nonadiabatic geometric quantum gates

Motivated for the fault tolerant quantum computation, quantum gate by adiabatic geometric phase shift is extensively investigated. In this paper, we demonstrate the nonadiabatic scheme for the geometric phase shift and conditional geometric phase shift. Essentially, the new scheme is simply to add an appropriate additional field. With this additional field, the state evolution can be controlled exactly on a dynamical phase free path. Geometric quantum gates for single qubit and the controlled NOT gate for two qubits are given.

Detecting the inseparability and distillability of continuous variable states in Fock space

The partial transposition(PT) operation is an effecient tool in detecting the inseparability of a mixed state. We give an explicit formula for the PT operation for the continuous variable states in Fock space. We then give the necessary and sufficient condition for the positivity of Gaussian operators. Based on this, a number of creterions on the inseparability and distillability for the multimode Gaussian states are naturally drawn. We finally give an explicit formula for the state in a subspace of a global Gaussian state. This formula, together with the known results for Gaussian states, gives the criterions for the inseparability and distillability in a subspace of the global Gaussian state.
