Remarkable Phase Oscillations Appearing in the Lattice Dynamics of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen States

Abstract

It is shown that the transformations of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen states such as those used in communication and cryptography schemes can be described as a hopping motion on a finite phase space lattice associated with a finite Heisenberg group. Quantum mechanical Hamiltonians that generate the hopping are shown to cause phase oscillations characterized by the number-theoretic Legendre symbol.

The Lattice Dynamics of Completely Entangled States and Its Application to Communication Schemes

DANIEL I. FIVEL

(Presented at conference on Fundamental Problems in Physics - UMBC - June 1994) It is shown that among the orthogonal sets of EPR (completely entangled) states there is a unique basis (up to equivalence) that is a also a perfectly resolved set of coherent states with respect to a pair of complementary observables. This basis defines a lattice phase space in which quadratic Hamiltonians constructed from the observables induce site-to-site hopping at discrete time intervals. When recently suggested communication schemes\cite{BENa} are adapted to the lattice they are greatly enhanced, because the finite Heisenberg group structure allows dynamic generation of signal sequences using the quadratic Hamiltonians. We anticipate the possibility of interferometry by determining the relative phases between successive signals produced by the simplest Hamiltonians of this type, and we show that they exhibit a remarkable pattern determined by the number-theoretic Legendre symbol.

Direct generation of one-way Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen steering with a self-phase-locked optical parametric oscillator

Zhan Zheng, Mingyan Yao, Jianping Tong +2 more

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) steering, that is, an intermediate form of quantum correlations with asymmetry in between entanglement and Bell nonlocality, plays an essential role in quantum information processing, such as one-sided device-independent quantum cryptography tasks. Here we theoretically study the direct generation of EPR steering in ${\ensuremath{\chi}}^{(2)}$ nonlinear optical processes with cascaded crystals in a self-phase-locked optical parametric oscillator. Based on a standard linearization method, we analyze different conditions for generating EPR steering in Gaussian states with vanishing or nonzero mean fields, and also show bistable regions for different types of EPR steering. In particular, such system can intrinsically generate asymmetry one-way EPR steering, without introducing any postoperation. Our results suggest that the self-phase-locked optical parametric oscillator is a good candidate to generate different types of EPR steering at will by varying the cavity detunings, photon loss, or input pump power.

Reichenbach's Common Cause Principle and EPR correlations

Gábor Hofer‐Szabó, Miklós Rédei, László E. Szabó

Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) correlations Explaining the correlations predicted by quantum mechanics in the case of joint quantum systems of the EPR type has proved to be a major challenge for the Common Cause Principle. The EPR correlations have been confirmed by a large number of sophisticated experiments carried out since the early 1980s, and, since quantum theory does not give us any hints as to where to look for possible common causes that could explain the correlations in question, the suspicion arose that common causes of EPR correlations might not exist at all. If this were indeed the case, then the EPR correlations would constitute strong empirical evidence against Reichenbach's Common Cause Principle. But how could this be possible in view of the results presented in the previous chapters? As we have seen (Chapter 3), every common cause incomplete probability space is common cause extendible (even strongly common cause extendible with respect to any finite set of correlations; Proposition 3.9); therefore every correlation can, in principle, be explained by a (possibly hidden) common cause, including the (finite number of) EPR correlations. Could the EPR correlations (not) be explained by referring to such hidden common causes? To answer this question, one has to realize first that it is not quite obvious how to link the Common Cause Principle to quantum mechanics because Reichenbach's notion of common cause was defined in terms of classical probability theory (Chapter 2), not in terms of quantum probability theory.

Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen quantum simulations in nonclassical phase-space

Simon Kiesewetter, K. Dechoum, Bogdan Opanchuk +3 more

We give a brief history of probabilistic quantum simulations of Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradoxes. This treats the early origins of the modern proposals using continuous variables, simulation methods using the positive-P representation, and current developments. Recent simulations treated include the behavior of parametric downconversion near the critical point, the simulation of parametric Bell violations, quantum entanglement, and correlations in optomechanics, as well as extensions to quantum field systems with planar interferometers.
