In this paper, we employ eight-level GHZ states as quantum channels to realize multi-hop quantum communication, and utilize the logical relationship between the measurements of each node to derive the unitary operation performed by the end node. The hierarchical simultaneous entanglement switching(HSES) method is adopted, resulting in a significant reduction in the consumption of classical information compared to multi-hop quantum teleportation(QT)based on general simultaneous entanglement switching(SES). In addition, the proposed protocol is simulated on the IBM Quantum Experiment platform(IBM QE). Then, the data obtained from the experiment are analyzed using quantum state tomography, which verifies the protocol's good fidelity and accuracy. Finally, by calculating fidelity, we analyze the impact of four different types of noise(phase-damping, amplitude-damping, phase-flip and bit-flip) in this protocol.展开更多

As one of the earliest candidates for a quantum chromodynamics exotic states, its interpretation has initiated various ideas about possible manifestations of non-perturbative mechanisms in the charmonium mass regime. In this short article we briefly review the experimental status of ψ(4230) and discuss possible theoretical interpretations. We will focus on four broadly investigated scenarios, i.e., tetraquark, hybrid, hadro-quarkonium,and hadronic molecule, and highlight the key issues based on these approaches. Crucial experimental observables,e.g., mass position, lineshapes, di-lepton decay width Γ_(ee), production rates in B meson decays, dominant hadronic decay patterns, and the potential 1^(-+)and 0^(--)exotic partners, are assessed, which can provide crucial structure information for understanding this mysterious state.展开更多

Areas of the planet that have the potential to house persons migrating to “safe havens” in their own or other countries will require the rapid construction of communities capable of supporting them, their families, businesses and farms. However, different political-economic conditions are found across the areas which can serve as locations for these Climate Change Haven Communities. We develop funding and construction strategies for the United States (free-market capitalism), France and Spain (European Union supported economies), and Taiwan region (state-directed economy). The proposals for the Taiwan region should also be applicable to the rest of China.展开更多

Although extensive research has established the relationship between the Rydberg state excitation(RSE) yields and the CPTC field parameters, such as field amplitude ratios and helicity of two components, the role of the relative phase(φ) in modulating RSE efficiency remains unclear. In this work, we theoretically investigate the φ dependence of RSE and ionization yields in the co-rotating and counter-rotating circularly polarized two-color(CPTC) few-cycle laser fields by a semiclassical model. We find that, in co-rotating CPTC fields, both RSE and ionization yields display pronounced oscillations as a function of φ and these oscillations are significantly suppressed in the counter-rotating configuration, particularly for ionization yields. Moreover, the ratio of RSE to ionization yields exhibits an out-of-phase oscillatory pattern between low-and high-intensity regimes. These results can be comprehended by the unique feature of φ dependence of CPTC few-cycle fields, based on our semiclassical analysis. Our results demonstrate that phase-controlled CPTC fields offer a versatile tool for steering ultrafast ionization and RSE dynamics of atoms and molecules.展开更多

These doubly degenerate states contribute equally in conventional measurements and are thus treated the same in corresponding simulations. In this study, we demonstrate that in resonant excitation by intense laser pulses, the doubly degenerate ±Λ states must be clearly identified. This is exemplified in the X^(1)Σ → A^(1)Π transition of CO molecules. This distinction becomes especially important in the case of circularly polarized radiation. We attribute this phenomenon to the interference of electron-rotational pathways in the strong-field coupled transition with the ±Λ-state of the excited Π state. This research sheds light on the fundamental aspects of intense laser-molecule interactions when extending conventional theories.展开更多

文摘The fractional shortcut to adiabaticity(f-STA)for the production of quantum superposition states is proposed firstly via a three-level system with aΛ-type linkage pattern and a four-level system with a tripod structure.The fast and robust production of the coherent superposition states is studied by comparing the populations for the f-STA and the fractional stimulated Raman adiabatic passage(f-STIRAP).The states with equal proportions can be produced by fixing the controllable parameters of the driving pulses at the final moment of the whole process.The effects of the pulse intensity and the time delay of the pulses on the production process are discussed by monitoring the populations on all of the quantum states.In particular,the spontaneous emission arising from the intermediate state is investigated by the quantum master equation.The result reveals that the f-STA exhibits superior advantages over the f-STIRAP in producing the superposition states.
文摘We study the topological states(TSs)of all-dielectric honeycomb valley photonic crystals(VPCs).Breaking the space inversion symmetry of the honeycomb lattice by varying the filling ratio of materials for circular ring dielectric columns in the unit cell,which triggers topological phase transitions and thus achieves topological edge states(TESs)and topological corner states(TCSs).The results demonstrate that this structure has efficient photon transmission characteristics and anti-scattering robustness.In particular,we have found that changing the type of edge splicing between VPCs with different topological properties produces a change in the frequency of TCSs,and then based on this phenomenon,we have used a new method of adjusting only the type of edge splicing of the structure to design a novel TCSs combiner that can integrate four TCSs with different frequencies.This work not only expands the variety and number of unexplored TCSs that may exist in a fixed photonic band gap and can be rationalized to be selectively excited in the fixed configuration.Our study provides a feasible pathway for the design of integrated optical devices in which multiple TSs coexist in a single photonic system.
文摘We examine possible funding sources for constructing Climate Change Haven Communities on a global basis. Areas of the planet that have the potential to house persons migrating to “safe havens” in their own or other countries will require the rapid construction of communities capable of supporting them, their families, businesses and farms. However, different political-economic conditions are found across the areas which can serve as locations for these Climate Change Haven Communities. We develop funding and construction strategies for the United States (free-market capitalism), France and Spain (European Union supported economies), and Taiwan region (state-directed economy). The proposals for the Taiwan region should also be applicable to the rest of China.

文摘The ultrafast excitation dynamics of atoms and molecules exposed to circularly polarized two-color(CPTC)laser fields constitute a fascinating topic in attosecond science. Although extensive research has established the relationship between the Rydberg state excitation(RSE) yields and the CPTC field parameters, such as field amplitude ratios and helicity of two components, the role of the relative phase(φ) in modulating RSE efficiency remains unclear. In this work, we theoretically investigate the φ dependence of RSE and ionization yields in the co-rotating and counter-rotating circularly polarized two-color(CPTC) few-cycle laser fields by a semiclassical model. We find that, in co-rotating CPTC fields, both RSE and ionization yields display pronounced oscillations as a function of φ and these oscillations are significantly suppressed in the counter-rotating configuration, particularly for ionization yields. Moreover, the ratio of RSE to ionization yields exhibits an out-of-phase oscillatory pattern between low-and high-intensity regimes. These results can be comprehended by the unique feature of φ dependence of CPTC few-cycle fields, based on our semiclassical analysis. Our results demonstrate that phase-controlled CPTC fields offer a versatile tool for steering ultrafast ionization and RSE dynamics of atoms and molecules.

文摘A singlet diatomic molecule naturally carries doubly degenerate ±Λ states when the projection of the total electronic angular momentum onto the internuclear axis is nonzero. These doubly degenerate states contribute equally in conventional measurements and are thus treated the same in corresponding simulations. In this study, we demonstrate that in resonant excitation by intense laser pulses, the doubly degenerate ±Λ states must be clearly identified. This is exemplified in the X^(1)Σ → A^(1)Π transition of CO molecules. This distinction becomes especially important in the case of circularly polarized radiation. We attribute this phenomenon to the interference of electron-rotational pathways in the strong-field coupled transition with the ±Λ-state of the excited Π state. This research sheds light on the fundamental aspects of intense laser-molecule interactions when extending conventional theories.

文摘We propose a novel approach to generate and manipulate topological Floquet bound states in the continuum(BICs)via a class of systems constructed by coupling two identical periodically driven one-dimensional Su-Schrieffer-Heeger chains.The formation of topological Floquet BICs can be adjusted only by tuning the driving amplitude or frequency,regardless of whether the static system has BICs or not.The interchain bias can only change the localization property of topological Floquet BICs,and a bigger bias can lead to transforming topological Floquet BICs into bound states out of the continuum(BOCs).But it does not change the topological properties of these topological Floquet states.Based on the repulsion effect of edge states,we propose to detect occurrence of topological Floquet BICs and transition point between topological Floquet BICs and BOCs using quantum walk.Our work provided a convenient and realistic approach for the experimental realization and manipulation of BICs in a single-particle quantum system.

文摘Higher-order topological insulators,which host topologically protected states at boundaries that are at least two dimensions lower than the bulk,are an emerging class of topological materials.They provide great opportunities for exploring novel topological phenomena and fascinating applications.Utilizing a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope,we construct breathing-kagome lattices with Fe adatoms on Ag(111)and investigate their electronic properties.We observe the higher-order topological boundary states in the topological phase but not in the trivial one,which is consistent with the theory.These states are found to be robust against the removal of bulk or edge adatoms.Further,we show the arbitrary positioning of these states either at corner,edge,or bulk sites by slightly modifying their neighbors.Our study not only demonstrates the formation and robustness of the electronic higher-order topological boundary states in real atomic systems but also provides a route for controlling their positions.
