By unitary matrix decomposition procedure, we first construct the quantum logic circuit of the deterministic joint remote state preparation protocol. Then, we analytically derive the fidelity and the average fidelity for the deterministic joint remote preparation of an arbitrary two- qubit state and of four types of special two-qubit states under the influence of the Pauli noises. It is found that the fidelity depends on the noise types, the qubit-environment coupling strength, and the state to be remotely prepared. Moreover, even if the two GHZ channels are subject to the same environmental noises, the average fidelities for remotely preparing different two-qubit states display different time evolution behaviors. The remote preparation of the identical two-qubit states also shows that the average fidelities affected by different noisy environments exhibit different evolution actions.展开更多

The assisting Gaussian laser beam can confine CaF molecules transversely owing to the optical Stark effect. Simulations suggest that the present scheme is superior to previous Stark decelerators. Under typical experimental conditions, when the assisting laser frequency is red-detuned to the molecular transition(λ～606.3 nm) by5.0 GHz and the laser power is about 5.6 W, the proposed decelerator can achieve a total number at the order of 10~4 CaF molecules with a number density at the order of 10~8 cm^(-3). The equivalent temperature of the obtained cold CaF molecules is 2.3 mK. Additionally, the desired assisting laser power can be as low as about 1.2 W if keeping the red-detuning value to be 1.0 GHz, which further suggests its experimental feasibility.展开更多

The extinction spectra and the electric field distribution profiles of the two dimers for various gap distances between two individual nanospheres are compared with those of the corresponding monomers to reveal the extent of plasmon coupling. It is found that with the interparticle distance decreasing, a strong plasmon coupling between two Al or Alcore/Al2O3shell nanospheres is observed accompanied by a significant red shift in the extinction spectra at the parallel polarization direction of the incident light related to the dimer axis, while for the case of the perpendicular polarization direction, a weak plasmon coupling arises characterized by a slight blue shift in the extinction spectra. The electric field distribution profiles show that benefiting from the dielectric Al2O3 shell, the gap distance of Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers can be tailored to 〈 1 nm scale and results in a very high electric field enhancement. The estimated surface-enhanced Raman scattering enhancement factors suggests that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers with the gap of 〈 1 nm gave rise to an enhancement as high as 8.1 × 10^7 for interparticle gap = 0.5 nm. Our studies reveal that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers may be promising substrates for surface-enhanced spectroscopy in the deep-ultraviolet region.展开更多

We use the average trace distance to describe how close the output state is to the input state to be teleported. Our results show that the average trace distance is a function of decoherence rates and angles of the analyzer performed by the controller in the single-particle projective measurement. Moreover, for a fixed value of the decoherence rate, one can adjust the analyzer angle to achieve the optimal average trace distance.展开更多

The equivalent temperature of the obtained cold CaF molecules is 2.3 mK. Additionally, the desired assisting laser power can be as low as about 1.2 W if keeping the red-detuning value to be 1.0 GHz, which further suggests its experimental feasibility.

文摘The localized surface plasmon resonance properties of Al and Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers with Al and Al core nanosphere radii of 20 nm and Al2O3 shell of 2 nm in the deep-ultraviolet region have been studied using the finite difference time domain method. The extinction spectra and the electric field distribution profiles of the two dimers for various gap distances between two individual nanospheres are compared with those of the corresponding monomers to reveal the extent of plasmon coupling. It is found that with the interparticle distance decreasing, a strong plasmon coupling between two Al or Alcore/Al2O3shell nanospheres is observed accompanied by a significant red shift in the extinction spectra at the parallel polarization direction of the incident light related to the dimer axis, while for the case of the perpendicular polarization direction, a weak plasmon coupling arises characterized by a slight blue shift in the extinction spectra. The electric field distribution profiles show that benefiting from the dielectric Al2O3 shell, the gap distance of Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers can be tailored to 〈 1 nm scale and results in a very high electric field enhancement. The estimated surface-enhanced Raman scattering enhancement factors suggests that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers with the gap of 〈 1 nm gave rise to an enhancement as high as 8.1 × 10^7 for interparticle gap = 0.5 nm. Our studies reveal that the Alcore/Al2O3shell nanosphere dimers may be promising substrates for surface-enhanced spectroscopy in the deep-ultraviolet region.

文摘We investigate controlled teleportation ofa qubit via a GHZ state with the influence of phase damping in the Bloch sphere representation. We use the average trace distance to describe how close the output state is to the input state to be teleported. Our results show that the average trace distance is a function of decoherence rates and angles of the analyzer performed by the controller in the single-particle projective measurement. Moreover, for a fixed value of the decoherence rate, one can adjust the analyzer angle to achieve the optimal average trace distance.

文摘As one of the biological endogenous pigments,biliverdin(BV)and its dimethyl ester(BVE)have extremely weak uorescence in solution with quantum yield less than 0.01%.However,the situation reverses with the addition of zinc ions.The strength for uorescence of BVE-Zn^2+ complex is greatly enhanced and uorescence quantum yield can increase to5%.Herein,we studied ultrafast excited state dynamics of BVE-Zn^2+ complex in ethanol,npropanol,and DMSO solutions in order to reveal the mechanism of uorescence quantum yield enhancement.The results show that BVE can form a stable coordination complex with zinc with 1:1 stoichiometry in solution.BVE is structurally and energetically more stable in the complex.Using picosecond time-resolve uorescence and femtosecond transient absorption spectroscopy,we show that smaller non-radiative rate constant of BVE-Zn^2+ complex in DMSO is the key to increasing its uorescence quantum yield and the excited state decay mechanism is also revealed.These results provide valuable information about the uorescence property change after BVE binding to metal ions and may provide a guidance for the study of phytochromes or other uorescence proteins in which BV/BVE acts as chromophores.

文摘Using a quantum channel consisting of a GHZ state exposed to noisy environment,we investigate how toremotely prepare an entangled state and a qubit state,respectively.By solving the master equation in the Lindbladform,the influence of the various types of noises on the GHZ state is first discussed.Then we use the fidelity to describehow close the remotely prepared state and the initial state are.Our results show that the fidelity is a function of thedecoherence rates and the angles of the initial state.It is found that for each of the two RSP schemes,the influence ofthe noise acting simultaneously in x,y,and z directions on the average fidelity is the strongest while the influence of thenoise acting in x or z direction on the average fidelity is relatively weaker.

文摘Chirality hold broad applications in life sciences,quantum devices,and various other areas.Traditionally,molecular chirality can be characterized by using steady-state circular dichroism spectroscopy.However,the techniques that can characterize excited state chirality are progressively capturing the public interest as it can provide the dynamic information for chirality generation and transfer.In this review,we focus on the theoretical background and the developmental history of femtosecond time-resolved circular dichroism spectroscopy(TRCD)techniques around the world.Additionally,we provide examples to showcase the utility of these techniques in the analysis of the dynamical molecular chemical structures,the investigation of molecular chirality generation,and the detection of electron spin dynamics in semiconductor quantum dots.
