Quantum coherence of steered states
Lying at the heart of quantum mechanics, coherence has recently been studied as a key resource in quantum information theory. Quantum steering, a fundamental notion originally considered by Schödinger, has also recently received much attention. When Alice and Bob share a correlated quantum system, Alice can perform a local measurement to 'steer' Bob's reduced state. We introduce the maximal ste...
متن کاملQuantum-beat spectroscopy of image-potential resonances
The dynamics of electrons in image-potential resonances on the Ag(111) surface, i.e., image-potential states that are resonant with bulk bands, have been studied by time-resolved two-photon photoemission in combination with quantum-beat spectroscopy. Energies and lifetimes of these resonances were determined up to a quantum number n = 7. Both quantities show a hydrogen-like scaling with quantum...
متن کاملPrivate Database Queries Using Quantum States with Limited Coherence Times
We describe a method for private database queries using exchange of quantum states with bits encoded in mutually incompatible bases. For technology with limited coherence time, the database vendor can announce the encoding after a suitable delay to allow the user to privately learn one of two items in the database without the ability to also definitely infer the second item. This quantum approa...
متن کاملQuantum Coherence of Continuum States in the Valence Band of GaAs Quantum Wells.
Quantum beats of heavy and light holes in GaAs quantum wells are investigated in femtosecond time-resolved four-wave mixing and transmission experiments as a function of optical excitation energy. Under nonexcitonic excitation conditions, the four-wave mixing signal disappears due to the immediate loss of the interband coherence of continuum states. In the transmission experiment, the quantum b...
متن کاملQuantum Coherence of Edge States in the Quantum Hall Eect { Topological Invariants and Edge State Mixing {
Edge states in the integral quantum Hall e ect on a lattice are reviewed from a topological point of view. For a system with edges which is realized inevitably in an experimental situation, the Hall conductance xy is given by a winding number of the edge state on a complex energy surface. A relation between two topological invariants (bulk and edge) is also clari ed. In a macroscopic system, mi...
