Abstract

Previous researches show that the quantum clock synchronization can achieve a high accuracy in noise-free channel. However, there is much noise in actual channel. The noise may introduce some errors during synchronization. The paper study the accuracy in two noisy channels: Bit flip channel and Phase flip channel. We find the pollution channel may usually degrade time accuracy. And the accuracy of Phase flip may be worse than accuracy of Bit flip. In some pollution case, quantum clock synchronization does not provide any valuable time information.

Quantum noise on the coherent-transport protocol for clock synchronization

Duan Xie, Chen Haifeng

The paper presents the synchronization accuracies of the coherent-transport protocol in the presence of quantum noise. Under the influence of bit flip noise, the accuracy will reduce to the standard quantum limit. When influenced by phase flip and amplitude damping, the accuracies are lower than the standard quantum limit in most cases. By comparison to the performance of the onequbit transport protocol and the entangled-states transport protocol, we found the accuracy of the coherent-transport protocol to be lower than the accuracies of the other two protocols in the presence of phase flip and amplitude damping.

Effects of Quantum Noise on Quantum Clock Synchronization

Duan Xie, Jinye Peng

In laboratory environment, the channel apparatus will generate particular dominant quantum noise. The noise then will give rise to some errors during synchronization. In this work, the accuracies of one qubit transport protocol and entangled states transport protocol in the presence of noise have been studied. With the help of three important and familiar noise models, the quantum noise will degrade the accuracy has been proved. Due to the influence of quantum noise, the accuracy of entangled qubits decrease faster than that of one qubit. The entangled states will improve the accuracy in noise-free channel, and will degrade the accuracy in noise channel.

Fidelity Comparation of Two-Qubit Quantum Teleportation with Bit-Flip and Phase-Flip Channel

Ananto Ari Prabowo, Muhammad Taufiqi, Bayu Dwi Hatmoko

Abstract This study investigates the effect of noise on two-qubit quantum teleportation through a four-qubit entangled channel theoretically. Therefore, in this study a comparison of two states of teleportation through ideal and noisy channel was carried out. The noisy channel can have the effect of bit-flip channel and phase-flip channel. From these two effects, it is found that the channel transforms in-to a mixed state. If the noise is neglected, the channel is pure state. Then, this channel is measured and fidelity is calculated. The fidelity of an ideal environment is 1. This indicates that the teleportation was successfully sent and at the same time confirms the teleportation behavior under ideal conditions. In noisy environments, fidelity can be less than 1. Two factors in noisy environment that affect fidelity are noise factor (p) and the orginal parameter states (transmission coefficients). In this calculation, for the bit flip noise, we observed that as the values of the coefficient values of transmitted state increase, the fidelity value increases. Meanwhile, for the phase flip noise, we observed that as the values of the coefficient values of transmitted state increase, the fidelity value decreases.

Evolutions of two-qubit entangled system in different noisy environments and channels

Lian-Zhen Cao, Xia Liu, Jia-Qiang Zhao +4 more

Quantum information technology is mainly based on quantum entanglement. As an important coherent superposition state, the coherence of quantum entanglement source is easily affected by environment and becomes fragile, which will lead to the failure of the quantum information processing. Thus, it is critical to reveal the evolutions of quantum entanglement source under different noisy environments and different noisy channels. Firstly, we experimentally prepare a high-fidelity two-bit entangled state by several technical methods. The fidelity observed for the state prepared in our experiment is 0.993 and the signal-to-noise ratio can reach up to 299. Then, we simulate the bit-flip noise and phase-shift noise (collective and non-collective) using the all-optical experimental setup. Finally, based on the entanglement qubit state, we experimentally study the evolutions of entanglement characteristic under different noisy environments and the single, double and mixed noisy channels. The experimental results show that for the same type of noise, the entanglement properties disappear fast when entangled qubit passes through dual channel noisy environment. The upper bounds of noise intensity to destroy the entanglement property are 0.25 and 0.26 for the single bit-flip noise and phase-shift noisy channels, respectively. The comparison between the two different kinds of noisy environments shows that the entanglement properties disappear fast when entangled bit passes through non-collective environment. The upper bounds of noise intensity are 0.08 and 0.14 for non-collective bit-flip and phase-shift noise to destroy the entanglement property, while the noise intensities are 0.14 and 0.23 for collective bit-flip and phase-shift noise, respectively. For different kinds of noises, the results show that bit-flip noise is more likely to destroy the entanglement properties than the phase-shift. Our results have great significance for the theoretical and experimental studies of entanglement decoherence and have important application value for quantum information processing technology based on the nonlinear optical system.

Remote quantum clock synchronization without synchronized clocks

Ebubechukwu O. Ilo-Okeke, Louis Tessler, Jonathan P. Dowling +1 more

Abstract A major outstanding problem for many quantum clock synchronization protocols is the hidden assumption of a common phase reference between the parties to be synchronized. In general, the definition of the quantum states between two parties do not have consistent phase definitions, which can lead to an unknown systematic error. We show that despite prior arguments to the contrary, it is possible to remove this unknown phase via entanglement purification. This closes the loophole for entanglement based quantum clock synchronization protocols, which is a non-local approach to synchronize two clocks independent of the properties of the intervening medium. Starting with noisy Bell pairs, we show that the scheme produces a singlet state for any combination of (i) differing basis conventions for Alice and Bob; (ii) an overall time offset in the execution of the purification algorithm; and (iii) the presence of a noisy channel. Error estimates reveal that better performance than existing classical Einstein synchronization protocols should be achievable using current technology.

Implementation of Error Correction on IBM Quantum Computing Devices

Sangat Sharma, Suresh Basnet, Raju Khanal

Quantum noise cannot be avoided in the quantum computing devices due to unstable nature of qubits and signals. The error caused by quantum noise can be detected and corrected using different error correcting codes. In this work, we have tested the feasibility and accuracy of three qubit bit flip and phase flip error correcting code in quantum computer provided by International Business Machine Quantum Experience (IBM QX) cloud platform. Among five quantum processors, ibmq_ourense is found to have highest average accuracy 77.9% ± 3.09% on all qubits simultaneously. Three qubits bit flip error correction circuit gave correct output 89.9% ± 1.01% of the time on average. Similarly three qubits phase flip error correction circuit give 88.05% ±1.89%. The measurement error mitigation has improved the accuracy of bit flip and phase flip error correction code by 5.01% and 7.01% respectively on average. The error rate shows that the error in quantum computations are random in nature and can be corrected. IBM QX quantum computer are suitable for only small scale quantum computation and demonstrate purpose. Furthermore, the accuracy of error correction codes can be increased with the use of higher accuracy quantum qubits and quantum gates.
