Standard forms of noisy quantum operations via depolarization

چکیده

We consider noisy, non–local unitary operations or interactions, i.e. the corresponding evolutions are described by completely positive maps or master equations of Lindblad form. We show that by random local operations the completely positive maps can be depolarized to a standard form with a reduced number of parameters describing the noise process in such a way that the noiseless (unitary) part of the evolution is not altered. A further reduction of the parameters, in many cases even to a single one (i.e. global white noise), is possible by tailoring the decoherence process and increasing the amount of noise. We generalize these results to the dynamical case where the ideal unitary operation is given by some interaction Hamiltonian. The resulting standard forms may be used to compute lower bounds on channel capacities, to simplify quantum process tomography or to derive error thresholds for entanglement purification and quantum computation.

GENERALIZED JOINT HIGHER-RANK NUMERICAL RANGE

The rank-k numerical range has a close connection to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. For noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the associated joint rank-k numerical range is non-empty. In this paper the notion of joint rank-k numerical range is generalized and some statements of [2011, Generaliz...

Properties of local quantum operations with shared entanglement

Multi-party local quantum operations with shared quantum entanglement or shared classical randomness are studied. The following facts are established: • There is a ball of local operations with shared randomness lying within the space spanned by the no-signalling operations and centred at the completely noisy channel. • The existence of the ball of local operations with shared randomness is emp...

Microcanonical thermodynamics in general physical theories

Resource theories provide a framework for thermodynamics beyond the thermodynamic limit. For systems with definite energy, the key resource is purity. In this paper we formulate three alternative resource theories of purity in the framework of general probabilistic theories (GPTs). Each resource theory corresponds to a different choice of free operations, including i) random reversible operatio...

A simplification of entanglement purification

An idea of hybrid maps is proposed to establish standard entanglement purification protocols which guarantee to purify any distillable state to a desired maximally entangled pure state all by the standard purification local operations and classical communications. The protocols proposed in this work, in which two state transformations are used, perform better than the IBM and Oxford protocols i...

Standard forms and entanglement engineering of multimode Gaussian states under local operations

We investigate the action of local unitary operations on multimode (pure or mixed) Gaussian states and single out the minimal number of locally invariant parametres which completely characterise the covariance matrix of such states. For pure Gaussian states, central resources for continuous-variable quantum information, we investigate separately the parametre reduction due to the additional con...
