BB84 Protocol and Its Security Analysis

Optimal lot-sizing problem with imperfect maintenance and imperfect production

In this paper, we develop an integrated model for the joint determination of both economic production quantity and level of preventive maintenance (PM) for an imperfect production process. This process has a general deterioration distribution with increasing hazard rate. The effect of PM activities on the deterioration pattern of the process is modelled using the imperfect maintenance concept. In this concept, it is assumed that after performing PM, the ageing of the system is reduced in proportion to the PM level. After a period of time in production, the process may shift to out-of-control states, either type I or type II. A minimal repair will remove the type I out-of-control state. If a type II out-of-control state occurs, the production process has to stop, and then restoration work is carried out. Examples of Weibull shock models are given to show that the use of PM reduces costs.

Score operators of a qubit with applications

The score operators of a quantum system are the symmetric logarithmic derivatives of the system’s parametrically defined quantum state. Score operators are central to the calculation of the quantum Fisher information (QFI) associated with the state of the system, and the QFI determines the maximum precision with which the state parameters can be estimated. We give a simple, explicit expression for score operators of a qubit and apply this expression in a series of settings. We treat in detail the task of identifying a quantum Pauli channel from the state of its qubit output, and we show that a “balanced” probe state is highly robust for this purpose. The QFI for this task is a matrix, and we study its determinant, for which we establish a Cramér-Rao inequality.     

The capacity of transmitting atomic qubit with light

The quantum information transfer between a single photon and a two-level atom is considered as a part of a quantum channel. The channel is a degradable channel even when there are decays of the atomic excited state and the single photon state, as far as the total excitation of the combined initial state does not exceed one. The single letter formula for quantum capacity is obtained.     

Quantum dynamics of superconducting nano-circuits: phase qubit, charge qubit and rhombi chains

We have studied different quantum dynamics of superconducting nano-circuits with Josephson junctions. A dc SQUID, when it is strongly decoupled from the environment, demonstrates two-level and multilevel dynamics. We have realized a two qubits coupled circuit based on a dc SQUID in parallel with an asymmetric Cooper pair transistor (ACPT). The ACPT behaves as a charge qubit. Its asymmetry produces a strong tunable coupling with the dc SQUID which is used to realize entangled states between the two qubits and new read-out of the charge qubit based on adiabatic quantum transfer. We have measured the current–phase relations of different rhombi chains in the presence or absence of quantum fluctuations which confirm theoretical predictions.     

Chance measure for hybrid events with fuzziness and randomness

In many cases, fuzziness and randomness simultaneously appear in a system. Hybrid variable is a tool to describe this phenomena. Fuzzy random variable and random fuzzy variable are instances of hybrid variable. In order to measure hybrid event, a concept of chance measure is proposed in this paper. Furthermore, several useful properties about this measure are proved such as self-duality, subadditivity and semicontinuity. Some concepts are also presented such as chance distribution, expected value, variance, moments, critical values, entropy, distance and sequence convergences.     

Algorithmic randomness and splitting of supermartingales

Randomness in the sense of Martin-Löf can be defined in terms of lower semicomputable supermartingales. We show that such a supermartingale cannot be replaced by a pair of supermartingales that bet only on even bits (the first one) and on odd bits (the second one) knowing all the preceding bits.     

Railway freight transportation planning with mixed uncertainty of randomness and fuzziness

The railway freight transportation planning problem under the mixed uncertain environment of fuzziness and randomness is investigated in this paper, in which the optimal paths, the amount of commodities passing through each path and the frequency of services need to be determined. Based on the chance measure and critical values of the random fuzzy variable, three chance-constrained programming models are constructed for the problem with respect to different criteria. Some equivalents of objectives and constraints are also discussed in order to investigate mathematical properties of the models. To solve the models, a potential path searching algorithm, simulation algorithms and a genetic algorithm are integrated as a hybrid algorithm to solve an optimal solution. Finally, some numerical examples are performed to show the applications of the models and the algorithm.     

An optimal production lot-sizing problem for an imperfect process with imperfect maintenance and inspection time length

This article develops an integrated model in considering the situations of an imperfect process with imperfect maintenance and inspection time for the joint determination of both economic production quantity (EPQ) and preventive maintenance (PM). This imperfect process has a general deterioration distribution with increasing hazard rate. Even with periodic PM, such a production system cannot be recovered as good as new. This means that the system condition depends on how long it runs. Also, the PM level can be distinct due to the maintenance cost. For convenience, it is assumed the age of system is reduced in proportional to the PM level. Further, during a production cycle, we need an inspection to see if the process is in control. This inspection might demand a considerable amount of time. In this article, we take PM level and inspection time into consideration to optimise EPQ with two types of out-of-control states. To see how the method works, we use a Weibull shock model to show the optimal solutions for the least costs.     

Geometric phase and entanglement for a single qubit interacting with deformed-states superposition

The geometric phase and quantum entanglement for a nonlinear field-atom system are described quantitatively in terms of different parameters. Specifically, considering a deformed Schrödinger cat interacting with a qubit and taking into account the time dependent of the system coupling. The results show that the initial state setting, atomic motion, photon number and deformation play important roles in the evolution of the system dynamics, nonlocal correlation and geometric phase. An interesting correlation between the entanglement and geometric phase is observed during the time evolution. The presented system is very useful to generate and maintain high amount of entanglement through controlling the phase variation of the system under consideration. We test this observation with experimentally accessible parameters and some new aspects are obtained.     

Decoherence dynamics of measurement-induced nonlocality and comparison with geometric discord for two qubit systems

We check the decoherence dynamics of Measurement-induced Nonlocality (in short, MIN) and compare it with geometric discord for two qubit systems. There are quantum states, on which the action of dephasing channel cannot destroy MIN in finite or infinite time. We check the additive dynamics of MIN on a qubit state under two independent noise. Geometric discord also follows such additive dynamics like quantum discord. We have further compared non-Markovian evolution of MIN and geometric discord under dephasing and amplitude damping noise for pure state and it shows distinct differences between their dynamics.
