An entanglement measure,multiple entropy measures(MEMS) was proposed recently by using the geometric mean of partial entropies over all possible i-body combinations of the quantum system.In this work,we study the average subsystem von Neumann entropies of the linear cluster state and investigated the quantum entanglement of linear cluster states in terms of MEMS.Explicit results with specific particle numbers are calculated,and some analytical results are given for systems with arbitrary particle numbers.Compared with other example quantum states such as the GHZ states and W states,the linear cluster states are "more entangled" in terms of MEMS,namely their averaged entropies are larger than the GHZ states and W states.
In this paper,we present an efficient purification scheme that improves the efficiency of entanglement purification of the recently proposed entanglement purification scheme for doubly entangled photon states (Phys.Rev.A,2008,77:042315).This modified scheme contains the bit-flip error correction where all the photon pairs can be kept while all the bit-flip errors are corrected and the entanglement purification of phase-flip errors where a wavelength conversion process is used.This scheme has the advantage of high efficiency and a much lower minimum fidelity of the original state.It works under existing technology.

The four-body interaction plays an important role in many-body systems, and it can exhibit interesting phase transition behaviors. In this letter, we report the experimental demonstration of a four-body interaction in a four-qubit nuclear magnetic resonance quantum information processor. The strongly modulating pulse is used to implement spin selective excitation. The results show a good agreement between theory and experiment.
We suggest a scheme to probe critical phenomena at a quantum phase transition (QPT) using the quantum correlation of two photonic modes simultaneously coupled to a critical system. As an experimentally accessible physical implementation,a circuit QED system is formed by a capacitively coupled Josephson junction qubit array interacting with one superconducting transmission line resonator (TLR). It realizes an Ising chain in the transverse field (ICTF) which interacts with the two magnetic modes propagating in the TLR. We demonstrate that in the vicinity of criticality the originally independent fields tend to display photon bunching effects due to their interaction with the ICTF. Thus,the occurrence of the QPT is reflected by the quantum characteristics of the photonic fields.

Here a fixed-point duality quantum search algorithm is proposed.This algorithm uses iteratively non-unitary operations and measurements to search an unsorted database.Once the marked item is found,the algorithm stops automatically.This algorithm uses a constant non-unitary operator,and requires N/4 steps on average(N is the number of data from the database) to locate the marked state.The implementation of this algorithm in a usual quantum computer is also demonstrated.

In this work, we demonstrated a fixed-point quantum search algorithm in the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system. We constructed the pulse sequences for the pivotal operations in the quantum search protocol. The experimental results agree well with the theoretical predictions. The generalization of the scheme to the arbitrary number of qubits has also been given.
