In this article we show that the right choice of basis to be used to estimate coherence is the separable basis. The quantum coherence estimated using the Bell basis does not represent the coherence in the system, since there is a coherence in the system due to the choice of the basis states. We first compute the entanglement and quantum coherence in the two qubit mixed states prepared using the Bell states and one of the states from the computational basis. The quantum coherence is estimated using the l1-norm of coherence, the entanglement is measured using the concurrence and the mixedness is measured using the linear entropy. Then we estimate these quantities in the Bell basis and establish that coherence should be measured only in separable basis, whereas entanglement and mixedness can be measured in any basis. We then calculate the teleportation fidelity of these mixed states and find the regions where the states have a fidelity greater than the classical teleportation fidelity. We also examine the violation of the Bell-CHSH inequality to verify the quantum nonlocal correlations in the system. The estimation of the above mentioned quantum correlations, teleportation fidelity and the verification of Bell-CHSH inequality is also done for bipartite states obtained from the tripartite systems by the tracing out of one of their qubits. We find that for some of these states teleportation is possible even when the Bell-CHSH inequality is not violated, signifying that nonlocality is not a necessary condition for quantum teleportation.","PeriodicalId":51058,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Quantum Information","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.2,"publicationDate":"2022-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48257247","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several quantum computing approaches have been developed to address this problem. The most frequently used method is variational quantum eigensolver (VQE). Many quantum systems, and especially nanomaterials, are described using tight-binding Hamiltonians, but until now no quantum computation method has been developed to find the lowest eigenvalue of these specific, but very important, Hamiltonians. We address the problem of finding the lowest eigenstate of tight-binding Hamiltonians using quantum walks. Quantum walks is a universal model of quantum computation equivalent to the quantum gate model. Furthermore, quantum walks can be mapped to quantum circuits comprising qubits, quantum registers, and quantum gates and, consequently, executed on quantum computers. In our approach, probability distributions, derived from wave function probability amplitudes, enter our quantum algorithm as potential distributions in the space where the quantum walk evolves. Our results showed the quantum walker localization in the case of the lowest eigenvalue is distinctive and characteristic of this state.

Without changing the intensity of the light source, we can derive four different data sets by dividing the raw key data into four groups according to the combined results of detectors in source end. The scheme can make use of the different data sets to estimate the parameters and extract the secret key. The key generation rate formula is derived after the parameter estimation. The performance of the proposed scheme is analyzed with and without taking statistical fluctuation into consideration. The simulation results show that compared with the existing active decoy-state method, the proposed passive method has slightly lower key rate when the transmission distance is short, and has obviously higher key rate when the transmission distance exceeds 406[Formula: see text]km. The maximum safety transmission distance of the proposed scheme is 452[Formula: see text]km which is relatively further. According to the influence of statistical fluctuation, the performance of the proposed scheme declines as the length of the data falls.
