Measurement-induced nonlocality(MIN) is a newly defined quantity to measure correlations in bipartite quantum states [Luo S and Fu S 2011 Phys. Rev. Lett. 106 120401]. MIN in the n-qubit W and Greenberger–Horne–Zeilinger(GHZ) superposition states is considered. It is revealed that n = 3 and n ≥ 4 states have very different characteristics,especially the monogamy relation about MIN, and the monogamy equality of MIN is held in all n-qubit W states(n ≥ 3).
Entanglement charge is an operational measure to quantify nonlocalities in ensembles consisting of bipartite quantum states.Here we generalize this nonlocality measure to single bipartite quantum states.As an example,we analyze the entanglement charges of some thermal states of two-qubit systems and show how they depend on the temperature and the system parameters in an analytical way.
We study theoretically the essential properties of an exciton in vertically coupled Gaussian quantum dots in the presence of an external magnetic field. The ground state energy of a heavy-hole exciton is split into four energy levels due to the Zeeman effect. For the symmetrical system, the entanglement entropy of the exciton state can reach a value of 1. However, for a system with broken symmetry, it is close to zero. Our results are in good agreement with previous studies.
In this paper,we investigate perfect quantum teleportation and dense coding by using an 2N-qubit W state channel.In the quantum teleportation scheme,an unknown N-qubit entangled state can be perfectly teleported.One ebit of entanglement and two bits of classical communication are consumed in the teleportation process,just like when using the Bell state channel.While N + 1 bits of classical information can be transmitted by only sending N particles in the dense coding protocol.
