Quantum Zeno effect by general measurements
It was predicted that frequently repeated measurements on an unstable state may alter the decay rate of the state. This is called the quantum Zeno effect (QZE) or the anti-Zeno effect (AZE), depending on whether the decay is suppressed or enhanced. In conventional theories of the QZE and AZE, effects of measurements are simply described by the projection postulate, assuming that each measuremen...
متن کاملQuantum Oblivious Transfer Based on POVM Measurements
Oblivious transfer (OT) is an important primitive in cryptography. In chosen one-out-of-two OT, Alice offers two bits, one of which Bob can choose to read, not learning any information about the other bit. Alice on the other hand does not obtain any information about Bob’s choice. We present a new technique for the same task in quantum environment, based on POVM measurements. It is shown that o...
متن کاملGeneral Quantum Encryption Scheme Based on Quantum Memory
In cryptography, quantum information processing can be used to do much more than just key distribution. Simple quantum transformations augmented with the ability to store qubits in a quantum memory are the building blocks of a protocol allowing two parties to communicate secretly by encoding/decoding the exchanged message directly through quantum means, without the need to establish a secret en...
متن کاملQuantum Message Exchange Based on Entanglement and Bell-State Measurements
We propose a scheme by which two parties can secretely and simultaneously exchange messages. The scheme requires the two parties to share entanglement and both to perform Bell-state measurements. Only two out of the four Bell states are required to be distinguished in the Bell-state measurements, and thus the scheme is experimentally feasible using only linear optical means. Generalizations of ...
متن کاملImpossible Measurements on Quantum Fields*
It is shown that the attempt to extend the notion of ideal measurement to quantum field theory leads to a conflict with locality, because (for most observables) the state vector reduction associated with an ideal measurement acts to transmit information faster than light. Two examples of such information-transfer are given, first in the quantum mechanics of a pair of coupled subsystems, and the...
