Entanglement Generation via Single-Qubit Rotations in a Torn Hilbert Space

We propose an efficient yet simple protocol to generate arbitrary symmetric entangled states with only global single-qubit rotations in a torn Hilbert space. The system is based on spin-1/2 qubits in a resonator such as atoms in an optical cavity or superconducting qubits coupled to a main bus. By sending light or microwave into the resonator, it induces ac Stark shifts on particular angular-momentum eigenstates (Dicke states) of qubits. Then we are able to generate barriers that hinder transitions between adjacent Dicke states and tear the original Hilbert space into pieces. Therefore, a simple global single-qubit rotation becomes highly nontrivial, and thus generates entanglement among the many-body system. By optimal control of energy shifts on Dicke states, we are able to generate arbitrary symmetric entangled states. We also exemplify that we can create varieties of useful states with near-unity fidelities in only one or very few steps, including W states, spin-squeezed states (SSSs), and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states. Particularly, the SSS can be created by only one step with a squeezing parameter ξR2∼1/N0.843 approaching the Heisenberg limit. Our finding establishes a way for universal entanglement generations with only single-qubit drivings where all the multiple-qubit controls are integrated into simply switching on or off microwave. It has direct applications in the variational quantum optimizer, which is available with existing technology. Published by the American Physical Society 2024

Capacity of entanglement for scalar fields in squeezed states

We study various aspects of capacity of entanglement in the squeezed states of a scalar field theory. This quantity is a quantum informational counterpart of heat capacity and characterizes the width of the eigenvalue spectrum of the reduced density matrix. In particular, we carefully examine the dependence of capacity of entanglement and its universal terms on the squeezing parameter in the specific regimes of the parameter space. Remarkably, we find that the capacity of entanglement obeys a volume law in the large squeezing limit. We discuss how these results are consistent with the behavior of other entanglement measures including entanglement and Renyi entropies. We also comment on the existence of consistent holographic duals for a family of Gaussian states with generic squeezing parameter based on the ratio of entanglement entropy and the capacity of entanglement.

Tripartite Quantum Entanglement with Squeezed Optomechanics

AbstractThe ability to engineer entangled states that involve macroscopic objects is of particular importance for a wide variety of quantum‐enabled technologies, ranging from quantum information processing to quantum sensing. Here how to achieve coherent manipulation and enhancement of quantum entanglement in a hybrid optomechanical system, which consists of a Fabry–Pérot cavity with two movable mirrors, an optical parametric amplifier (OPA), and an injected squeezed vacuum reservoir is proposed. It is shown that the advantages of this system are twofold: 1) one can effectively regulate the light‐mirror interactions by introducing a squeezed intracavity mode via the OPA; 2) when properly matching the squeezing parameters between the squeezed cavity mode and the injected squeezed vacuum reservoir, the optical input noises can be suppressed completely. These peculiar features of this system allow the generation and manipulation of quantum entanglement in a coherent and controllable way. More importantly, it is also found that such controllable entanglement, under some specific squeezing parameters, can be considerably enhanced in comparison with those of the conventional optomechanical system. The work, providing a promising method to regulate and tailor the light‐mirror interaction, is poised to serve as a useful tool for engineering various quantum effects which are based on cavity optomechanics.

Enhanced Gaussian interferometric power, entanglement and Gaussian quantum steering in magnonics system with squeezed light

In this study, we propose a scheme to improve quantum correlations (QCs) between two magnons in a tripartite magnonical system. We use Gaussian interferometric power (GIP) to quantify QCs beyond entanglement. Additionally, Gaussian quantum steering is discussed. We investigate the enhancement of QCs via a squeezing parameter and an optical parametric amplifier (OPA). The Mancini criterion is considered to confirm the presence of shared entanglement between the two magnons. We observed a squeezing of about 7 dB for the first magnon. Additionally, the squeezed vacuum field and the OPA improve the generation of genuine tripartite entanglement. We hope that current experimental technology will allow the proposed scheme to be implemented.

Dipole–dipole-interaction-induced entanglement between two-dimensional ferromagnets

We investigate the viability of dipole–dipole interaction as a means of entangling two distant ferromagnets. To this end, we make use of the Bogoliubov transformation as a symplectic transformation. We show that the coupling of the uniform magnon modes can be expressed using four squeezing parameters, which we interpret in terms of hybridization, one-mode, and two-mode squeezing. We utilize the expansion in terms of the squeezing parameters to obtain an analytic formula for the entanglement in the magnon ground state using the logarithmic negativity as entanglement measure. Our investigation predicts that for infinitely large two-dimensional ferromagnets, the dipole–dipole interaction does not lead to significant long-range entanglement. However, in the case of finite ferromagnets, finite entanglement can be expected.

Squeezing equivalence of quantum harmonic oscillators under different frequency modulations

The papers by Janszky and Adam [Phys. Rev. A 46, 6091 (1992)] and Chen et al [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 063 002 (2010)] are examples of works where one can find the following equivalences: quantum harmonic oscillators subjected to different time-dependent frequency modulations, during a certain time interval τ, exhibit exactly the same final null squeezing parameter (r f = 0). In the present paper, we discuss a more general case of squeezing equivalence, where the final squeezing parameter can be non-null (r f ≥ 0). We show that when the interest is in controlling the forms of the frequency modulations, but keeping free the choice of the values of r f and τ, this in general demands numerical calculations to find these values leading to squeezing equivalences (a particular case of this procedure recovers the equivalence found by Jansky and Adams). On the other hand, when the interest is not in previously controlling the form of these frequencies, but rather r f and τ (and also some constraints, such as minimization of energy), one can have analytical solutions for these frequencies leading to squeezing equivalences (particular cases of this procedure are usually applied in problems of shortcuts to adiabaticity, as done by Chen et al). In this way, this more general squeezing equivalence discussed here is connected to recent and important topics in the literature as, for instance, generation of squeezed states and the obtaining of shortcuts to adiabaticity.

Honeycomb-configured dissipative nanofluid flow within a squeezed channel with entropy generation: regression and numerical evaluations

PurposeNanosized honeycomb-configured materials are used in modern technology, thermal science and chemical engineering due to their high ultra thermic relevance. This study aims to scrutinize the heat transmission features of magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) honeycomb-structured graphene nanofluid flow within two squeezed parallel plates under Joule dissipation and solar thermal radiation impacts.Design/methodology/approachMass, energy and momentum preservation laws are assumed to find the mathematical model. A set of unified ordinary differential equations with nonlinear behavior is used to express the correlated partial differential equations of the established models, adopting a reasonable similarity adjustment. An approximate convergent numerical solution to these equations is evaluated by the shooting scheme with the Runge–Kutta–Fehlberg (RKF45) technique.FindingsThe impression of pertinent evolving parameters on the temperature, fluid velocity, entropy generation, skin friction coefficients and the heat transference rate is explored. Further, the significance of the irreversibility nature of heat transfer due to evolving flow parameters are evaluated. It is noted that the heat transference rate performance is improved due to the imposition of the allied magnetic field, Joule dissipation, heat absorption, squeezing and thermal buoyancy parameters. The entropy generation upsurges due to rising magnetic field strength while its intensification is declined by enhancing the porosity parameter.Originality/valueThe uniqueness of this research work is the numerical evaluation of MHD honeycomb-structured graphene nanofluid flow within two squeezed parallel plates under Joule dissipation and solar thermal radiation impacts. Furthermore, regression models are devised to forecast the correlation between the rate of thermal heat transmission and persistent flow parameters.

Geometric phaselike effects of driven transport in presence of reservoir squeezing.

In a bare bosonic site coupled to two reservoirs, we explore the statistics of boson exchange in the presence of two simultaneous processes: squeezing the two reservoirs and driving the two reservoirs. The squeezing parameters compete with the geometric phaselike effect or geometricity to alter the nature of the steady-state flux and noise. The even (odd) geometric cumulants and the total minimum entropy are found to be symmetric (antisymmetric) with respect to exchanging the left and right squeezing parameters. Upon increasing the strength of the squeezing parameters, loss of geometricity is observed. Under maximum squeezing, one can recover a standard steady-state fluctuation theorem even in the presence of phase-different driving protocol. A recently proposed modified geometric thermodynamic uncertainty principle is found to be robust.

Simulating Vibronic Spectra by Direct Application of Doktorov Formulas on a Superconducting Quantum Simulator.

In this work, a direct quantum implementation of the Doktorov formulas for calculating the vibronic spectrum of molecules under the harmonic approximation is presented. It is applied to the three-atom molecules H2O, SO2, ClO2, HS2, and ZnOH. The method solves the classically hard problem of estimating the Franck-Condon (FC) factors by using the Duschinsky matrices as the only input via the Doktorov quantum circuit. This has the advantage of avoiding basis changes, artificial squeezing parameters, and symmetry dependencies. In other words, it is a general method for three-atom molecules that can easily be generalized to bigger molecules. The results are compared with other quantum algorithms and classical anharmonic algorithms. Furthermore, the circuit requirements are studied in order to estimate its applicability on real superconducting quantum hardware.

Effects of squeezed vacuum field on force sensing for a dissipative optomechanical system

We investigate the force sensing of a mechanical membrane in a dissipative cavity optomechanical system (OMS) driven by a squeezed vacuum field accompanying a strong pump laser. Specifically, the red-detuned laser exhibits a more significant improvement for force sensing compared to the blue-detuned laser. The optimal phase angle contributes to achieving much better force sensing. When injecting a squeezed vacuum field with appropriate squeezing parameter and squeezing phase, the standard quantum limit of force measurement can be easily beaten. Furthermore, the adverse effects of the increase in environment temperature and mechanical damping can be suppressed, simultaneously. This scheme provides a theoretical basics for force sensing of mechanical membranes in dissipative OMS and has potential applications in force feedback control, precision measurement, and force sensor design.

Resilience of quantum spin fluctuations against Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction.

In low-dimensional systems, the lack of structural inversion symmetry combined with the spin-orbit coupling gives rise to an anisotropic antisymmetric superexchange known as the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI). Various features have been reported due to the presence of DMIs in quantum systems. We here study the one-dimensional spin-1/2 transverse field XY chains with a DMI at zero temperature. Our focus is on the quantum fluctuations of the spins measured by the spin squeezing and the entanglement entropy. We find that these fluctuations are resistant to the effect of the DMI in the system. This resistance will fail as soon as the system is placed in the chiral phase where its state behaves as a squeezed state, suggesting the merit of the chiral phase to be used for quantum metrology. Remarkably, we prove that the central charge vanishes on the critical lines between gapless chiral and ferromagnetic/paramagnetic phases where there is no critical scaling versus the system size for the spin squeezing parameter. Our phenomenal results provide a further understanding of the effects of the DMIs in the many-body quantum systems which may be testable in experiments.

New insights into MHD squeezing flows of reacting-radiating Maxwell nanofluids via Wakif's–Buongiorno point of view

AbstractThis work presents a computational investigation of a squeezing nanofluid flow under the influence of thermal radiation, magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), and chemical process in a constrained parallel-wall geometry. In this study, the non-Newtonian behavior of a rate-type (Maxwell) nanofluid is captured by rheological expressions that serve as the foundation for the flow formulation. This kind of thinking makes it possible to simulate the intricate nanofluid behavior that incorporates the elastic and viscous responses, which are useful in a variety of situations related to nanofluid dynamics, rheology, and materials science. Additionally, the transport equations are modeled properly using Wakif's–Buongiorno nanofluid model. The equations reflecting the dynamics of the nanofluid and heat-mass transport are developed based on admissible physical assumptions, such as the negligible viscous dissipation as well as the lower magnetic Reynolds number. After that, several similarity variables are introduced in these equations to get the dimensionless formulation form. Akbari–Ganji's method is used to carry out extensive computational simulations. Our results show that the increased squeezing parameters lead to larger horizontal and vertical velocities. On the other hand, the temperature showed a reverse relationship with the increasing squeezing parameters and exhibiting a cooling impact.

A comprehensive perspective for single-mode Gaussian coherence

In this work, we theoretically investigate single-mode Gaussian quantum coherence from a comprehensive perspective. Based on analytical expressions of the first and second moments of single-mode Gaussian states undergoing various Gaussian noisy channels, we use quantum mater equation and the method of the relative entropy to quantify the quantum coherence of any single-mode Gaussian state. We demonstrate that the displaced thermal state achieves maximum quantum coherence when using only the displaced vacuum state, which is a pure coherent state. However, for various lossy noise channels, quantum coherence shows a significant decrease. In the context of a squeezed thermal state, when controlling the squeezing parameter for a given environmental temperature, quantum coherence has been witnessed to increase. The ultimate upper bound of quantum coherence is then attained with the squeezed vacuum state. In particular, we determined the most generalized scenario of the displaced squeezed thermal state. The maximum value of quantum coherence is obtained when displacement and squeeze parameters both attain maximum value. Our study might be important in the future for the characterisation as well as the estimation of various nonclassical quantum correlations in single-mode Gaussian states.

Entangled unique coherent line in the ground-state phase diagram of the spin-1/2 XX chain model with three-spin interaction.

Entangled spin coherent states are a type of quantum states that involve two or more spin systems that are correlated in a nonclassical way. These states can improve metrology and information processing, as they can surpass the standard quantum limit, which is the ultimate bound for precision measurements using coherent states. However, finding entangled coherent states in physical systems is challenging because they require precise control and manipulation of the interactions between the modes. In this work we show that entangled unique coherent states can be found in the ground state of the spin-1/2 XX chain model with three-spin interaction, which is an exactly solvable model in quantum magnetism. We use the spin squeezing parameter, the l_{1}-norm of coherence, and the entanglement entropy as tools to detect and characterize these unique coherent states. We find that these unique coherent states exist in a gapless spin liquid phase, where they form a line that separates two regions with different degrees of squeezing. We call this line the entangled unique coherent line, as it corresponds to the almost maximum entanglement between two halves of the system. We also study the critical scaling of the spin squeezing parameter and the entanglement entropy versus the system size.

Effects of Squeezing on the Power Broadening and Shifts of Micromaser Lineshapes

AC Stark shifts have an impact on the dynamics of atoms interacting with a near-resonant quantized single-mode cavity field, which is relevant to a single atom micromaser. In this study, we demonstrate that, when the field is in a squeezed coherent state, atomic lineshapes are highly sensitive to the squeezing parameter. Furthermore, we show that, when considering a superposition of squeezed coherent states with equal amplitude, the displacement of the transition lines depends significantly, not only on the squeezing parameter, but also on its sign.

Classes of Gaussian states for squeezing estimation

This study explores a detailed examination of various classes of single- and two-mode Gaussian states as key elements for an estimation process, specifically targeting the evaluation of an unknown squeezing parameter encoded in one mode. To quantify the efficacy of each probe, we employ the concept of Average Quantum Fisher Information (AvQFI) as a robust metric to quantify the optimal performance associated with specific classes of Gaussian states as input. For single-mode probes, we identify pure squeezed single-mode states as the optimal choice and we explore the correlation between Coherence and AvQFI. Also, we show that pure two-mode squeezed states exhibit behavior resembling their single-mode counterparts for estimating the encoded squeezing parameter, and we studied the interplay between entanglement and AvQFI. This paper presents both analytical and numerical results that encompass all the studied classes, offering valuable insights for quantum estimation processes.

Heisenberg-limited spin squeezing in a hybrid system with silicon-vacancy centers.

In this paper, we investigate the spin squeezing in a hybrid quantum system consisting of a Silicon-Vacancy (SiV) center ensemble coupled to a diamond acoustic waveguide via the strain interaction. Two sets of non-overlapping driving fields, each contains two time-dependent microwave fields, are applied to this hybrid system. By modulating these fields, the one-axis twist (OAT) interaction and two-axis two-spin (TATS) interaction can be independently realized. In the latter case the squeezing parameter scales to spin number as ξ R2∼1.61N -0.64 with the consideration of dissipation, which is very close to the Heisenberg limit. Furthermore, this hybrid system allows for the study of spin squeezing generated by the simultaneous presence of OAT and TATS interactions, which reveals sensitivity to the parity of the number of spins Ntot, whether it is even or odd. Our scheme enriches the approach for generating Heisenberg-limited spin squeezing in spin-phonon hybrid systems and offers the possibility for future applications in quantum information processing.

Quantum Otto-type heat engine with fixed frequency.

In this work we analyze an Otto-type cycle operating with a working substance composed of a quantum harmonic oscillator (QHO). Unlike other studies in which the work extraction is done by varying the frequency of the QHO and letting it thermalize with a squeezed reservoir, here we submit the QHO to a parametric pumping controlled by the squeezing parameter and let it thermalize with a thermal reservoir. We then investigate the role of the squeezing parameter in our Otto-type engine powered by parametric pumping and show that it is possible to reach the Carnot limit by arbitrarily increasing the squeezing parameter. Notably, for certain squeezing parameters r, e.g., r=0.4, the quasistatic Otto limit can be reached even at nonzero power. We also investigated the role of entropy production in the efficiency behavior during the unitary strokes, showing that positive (negative) changes in entropy production correspond to increases (decreases) in engine efficiency, as expected. Furthermore, we show that under thermal reservoirs a work extraction process that is more efficient than the Carnot engine is impossible, regardless of the quantum resource introduced via the Hamiltonian of the system.

A universal programmable Gaussian boson sampler for drug discovery

Gaussian boson sampling (GBS) has the potential to solve complex graph problems, such as clique finding, which is relevant to drug discovery tasks. However, realizing the full benefits of quantum enhancements requires large-scale quantum hardware with universal programmability. Here we have developed a time-bin-encoded GBS photonic quantum processor that is universal, programmable and software-scalable. Our processor features freely adjustable squeezing parameters and can implement arbitrary unitary operations with a programmable interferometer. Leveraging our processor, we successfully executed clique finding on a 32-node graph, achieving approximately twice the success probability compared to classical sampling. As proof of concept, we implemented a versatile quantum drug discovery platform using this GBS processor, enabling molecular docking and RNA-folding prediction tasks. Our work achieves GBS circuitry with its universal and programmable architecture, advancing GBS toward use in real-world applications.

Numerical simulation of an electromagnetic squeezing hybrid nanofluid flow through permeable plates with sensor monitoring system

The primary aim of this study is to examine the effect of squeezing hybrid nanofluids copper and magnetite with water flow across a horizontal surface under the impact of magnetic and radiative effects, which has extensive applications in the field of biomedical engineering and nanotechnology. Additionally, a microcantilever sensor is placed between the horizontal surfaces to surveil the flow behaviors. The equations pertaining to momentum and energy are reconstructed into a set of ordinary differential equations (ODEs). These ODEs are subsequently solved through a numerical approach, wherein the bvp4c solver from MATLAB is utilized. This solver employs a collocation technique for the numerical solution. As a result, the solutions acquired for velocity and temperature are graphically displayed for different parameters, including volume fraction of nanoparticles, squeezing flow index parameter (b), magnetic parameter (M), permeable velocity parameter (f0), radiation parameter R, and Prandtl number (Pr). It has been observed that increasing the magnetic effect as well as the volume fraction of nanoparticles strengthens the flow effect. In contrast, increasing the squeezing and permeable velocity parameter impedes the flow. When there is an increase in a permeable velocity parameter, the temperature shoots up, and the cooling effect is spotted in the temperature profile, when the Prandtl number and magnetic and squeezing parameters are raised. This investigation upholds the significance of drag reduction, flow instabilities, fluid structure interactions, and heat transfer effectiveness by virtue of wall shear stress, squeezing flow index parameter, various hybrid nanofluids, and Nusselt number, respectively. A considerable comparative study has been made for the validation of current results.
