We construct a circuit based on PBS and CNOT gates, which can be used to determine whether the input pulse is empty or not according to the detection result of the auxiliary state, while the input state will not be changed. The circuit can be treated as a pre-detection device. Equipping the pre-detection device in the front of the receiver of the quantum key distribution （QKD） can reduce the influence of the dark count of the detector, hence increasing the secure communication distance significantly. Simulation results show that the secure communication distance can reach 516 km and 479 km for QKD with perfect single photon source and decoy-state QKD with weak coherent photon source, respectively.
:Multicast-based quantum teleportation(QT) is extensively used in quantum information transmission where a sender sends different information to multiple receivers at the large distance through the quantum entangled channel. In this paper, we introduce the multi-output QT scheme, which deals with the situation that the synchronous transfer of the arbitrary m-and(m+1)-qubit GHZ-class states from one sender to two receivers. Notably, the requirement about synchronous diverse information transmission is satisfied in our scheme with high efficiency. Moreover, we demonstrate the implementation of the special case of above quantum multi-output teleportation scheme on a sixteenqubit quantum computer and a 32-qubit simulator provided by IBM quantum platform, then discuss it in four types of noisy environments, and calculate the fidelities of the output states.
Due to the unavoidable interaction between the quantum channel and its ambient environment,it is difficult to generate and maintain the maximally entanglement.Thus,the research on multiparty information transmission via non-maximally entangled channels is of academic value and general application.Here,we utilize the non-maximally entangled channels to implement two multiparty remote state preparation schemes for transmitting different quantum information from one sender to two receivers synchronously.The first scheme is adopted to transmit two different four-qubit cluster-type entangled states to two receivers with a certain probability.In order to improve success probabilities of such multicast remote state preparation using non-maximally entangled channels,we put forward the second scheme,which deals with the situation that is a synchronous transfer of an arbitrary single-qubit state and an arbitrary two-qubit state from one sender to two receivers.In particular,its success probability can reach 100%in principle,and independent of the entanglement degree of the shared non-maximally entangled channel.Notably,in the second scheme,the auxiliary particle is not required.
Recently Li et al. proposed special partially entangled states serving as quantum channel in quantum controlled teleportation, while there are some limitations in their scheme. Based on that, we present a possible improvement in this paper. We construct a novel three-particle partially entangled state which is suitable for perfect controlled teleportation. A simple quantum circuit is designed to obtain this state. We evaluate quantum controlled teleportation from three points of view： teleportation fidelity, success probability and the controller＇s power. Detailed calculations and simulation analyses show that the constructed state is a suitable channel for controlled teleportation of arbitrary qubits, unit teleportation fidelity and 100% success probability can be achieved. Meanwhile, as long as channel＇s entanglement degree equals to or greater than 3/4, the controller＇s power can be guaranteed.
We describe a mathematical structure which corresponds to the eigenstates of a density operator. For an unknown density operator, we propose an estimating procedure which uses successive ＂yes/no＂ measurements to scan the Bloch sphere and approximately yields the eigenstates. This result is based on the quantum method of types and implies a relationship between the typical subspace and the Young frame.
