چکیده
Coherence lengths of one particle states described by quantum wave functions are studied. We show that one particle states in various situations are not described by simple plane waves but are described by wave packets that are superpositions of plane waves. Wave packet is an approximate eigenstate of the free Hamiltonian and has a finite spatial size which we call the coherence length. The coherence lengths in the coordinate space and in the momentum space are studied in the present paper. We investigate several mechanisms of forming wave packets, stabilities of wave packets, and transformations of wave packets.

We show that spatially separated parties who perform local measurements on a maximallyentangled state using randomly chosen measurement bases can, with significant probability, generate nonclassical correlations that violate a Bell inequality. For n parties using a Greenberger-HorneZeilinger state, this probability of violating a Bell inequality asymptotically tends to unity as the number of pa...

Keeping in view the importance of exchange symmetry aspects in studies on spin squeezing of multiqubit states, we show that Ising type Hamiltonian does not retain the exchange symmetry of initially symmetric multiqubit states. Specifically, we show that all N -qubit states (N ≥ 5) obeying permutation symmetry lose their symmetry after evolution with one dimensional Ising chain with nearest neig...

The Shor algorithm [1] to factor numbers and its NMRimplementation [2] have propelled the field of quantum computation [3]. Recently a different factorization scheme [4] taking advantage of the periodicity properties of Gauss sums [5] has been proposed [6] and verified by two NMR-experiments [7, 8] and one experiment based on short laser pulses [9]. In the present paper we report the first impl...
