We present an efficient entanglement concentration protocol（ECP） for the less-entangled W state with some identical conventional polarized single photons.In the protocol,two of the parties say Alice and Charlie should perform the parity check measurements and they can ultimately obtain the maximally entangled W state with a certain success probability.Otherwise,they can obtain another less-entangled W state,which can be reconcentrated into the maximally entangled W state.By iterating this ECP,a high success probability can be achieved.This ECP may be an optimal one and it is useful in current quantum information processing.
An optical encryption scheme based on a ghost imaging system with disordered speckles is proposed to obtain a higher security with a small key. In the scheme, Alice produces the random speckle patterns and obtains the detection results with the help of a computational ghost imaging（CGI） system. Then Alice permutes the order of the random speckle patterns and shares the permutation sequence as a secure key to the authorized users. With the secure key, Bob could recover the object with the principle of the CGI system, whereas, the unauthorized users could not obtain any information of the object. The numerical simulations and experimental results show that the proposed scheme is feasible with a small key, simultaneously,it has a higher security. When the eavesdropping ratio（ER） is less than 40%, the eavesdropper cannot acquire any useful information. Meanwhile, the authorized users could recover completely with the secure key.
文中研究Polar码在图像传输系统中的应用,讨论Polar码的译码迭代次数、码长、码率等因素对恢复图像的影响,并与等同条件下的低密度奇偶校验码(Low Density Parity Check Code,LDPC)在图像传输中的性能进行比较。数值仿真表明:随着Polar码译码迭代次数增加、码长增长和码率减小,图像传输的误块率(Block Error Rate,BER)减小,峰值信噪比(Peak Signal to Noise Ratio,PSNR)增大。同时在码长为2 048,码率为0.5时,Polar码在图像传输中的性能比LDPC码的性能有明显地提高,在输入信噪比为3 dB时,Polar码的误块率有102增强,PSNR值有4倍的提高。
In order to change the path candidates, reduce the average list size, and make more paths pass cyclic redundancy check （CRC）, multiple CRC-aided variable successive cancellation list （SCL） decoding algorithm is proposed. In the decoding algorithm, the whole unfrozen bits are divided into several parts and each part is concatenated with a corresponding CRC code, except the last part which is concatenated with a whole unfrozen CRC code. Each CRC detection is performed, and only those satisfying each part CRC become the path candidates. A variable list is setup for each part to reduce the time complexity. Variable list size is setup for each part to reduce the time complexity until one survival path in each part can pass its corresponding CRC. The results show that the proposed algorithm can reduce the average list size, and the frame error rate （FER） performance, and has a better performance with the increase of the part number.
We propose a scheme capable of performing complete Bell-state analysis for a single-photon hybrid entangled state.Our single-photon state is encoded in both polarization and frequency degrees of freedom.The setup of the scheme is composed of polarizing beam splitters,half wave plates,frequency shifters,and independent wavelength division multiplexers,which are feasible using current technology.We also show that with this setup we can perform complete two-photon Bell-state analysis schemes for polarization degrees of freedom.Moreover,it can also be used to perform the teleportation scheme between different degrees of freedom.This setup may allow extensive applications in current quantum communications.
