A method for calculating the one-way quantum deficit is developed. It involves a careful study of post-measured entropy shapes. We discovered that in some regions of X-state space the post-measured entropy $tilde S$ as a function of measurement angle $thetain[0,pi/2]$ exhibits a bimodal behavior inside the open interval $(0,pi/2)$, i.e., it has two interior extrema: one minimum and one maximum. Furthermore, cases are found when the interior minimum of such a bimodal function $tilde S(theta)$ is less than that one at the endpoint $theta=0$ or $pi/2$. This leads to the formation of a boundary between the phases of one-way quantum deficit via {em finite} jumps of optimal measured angle from the endpoint to the interior minimum. Phase diagram is built up for a two-parameter family of X states. The subregions with variable optimal measured angle are around 1$%$ of the total region, with their relative linear sizes achieving $17.5%$, and the fidelity between the states of those subregions can be reduced to $F=0.968$. In addition, a correction to the one-way deficit due to the interior minimum can achieve $2.3%$. Such conditions are favorable to detect the subregions with variable optimal measured angle of one-way quantum deficit in an experiment.
The one-way quantum deficit, a measure of quantum correlation, can exhibit for X quantum states the regions (subdomains) with the phases $Delta_0$ and $Delta_{pi/2}$ which are characterized by constant (i.e., universal) optimal measurement angles, correspondingly, zero and $pi/2$ with respect to the $z$-axis and a third phase $Delta_vartheta$ with the variable (state-dependent) optimal measurement angle $vartheta$. We build the complete phase diagram of one-way quantum deficit for the XXZ subclass of symmetric X states. In contrast to the quantum discord where the region for the phase with variable optimal measurement angle is very tiny (more exactly, it is a very thin layer), the similar region $Delta_vartheta$ is large and achieves the sizes comparable to those of regions $Delta_0$ and $Delta_{pi/2}$. This instils hope to detect the mysterious fraction of quantum correlation with the variable optimal measurement angle experimentally.
The spin-1/2 XXZ chain in a uniform magnetic field at thermal equilibrium is considered. For this model, we give a complete classification of all qualitatively different phase diagrams for the one-way quantum work (information) deficit. The diagrams can contain regions (phases, fractions) with both stationary and variable (state-dependent) angles of optimal measurement. We found cases of phase diagrams in which the sizes of regions with the variable optimal measurement angle are large and perhaps such regions can be detected experimentally. We also established a relationship between the behavior of optimal measurement angles near the boundaries separated different regions and Landaus theory of phase transitions of the second and first kind.
We report an experimental realization of one-way quantum computing on a two-photon four-qubit cluster state. This is accomplished by developing a two-photon cluster state source entangled both in polarization and spatial modes. With this special source, we implemented a highly efficient Grovers search algorithm and high-fidelity two qubits quantum gates. Our experiment demonstrates that such cluster states could serve as an ideal source and a building block for rapid and precise optical quantum computation.
In this study, we investigate pairwise non-classical correlations measured using a one-way quantum deficit as well as quantum coherence in the $XY$ spin-1/2 chain in a transverse magnetic field for both zero and finite temperatures. The analytical and numerical results of our investigations are presented. In the case when the temperature is zero, it is shown that the one-way quantum deficit can characterize quantum phase transitions as well as quantum coherence. We find that these measures have a clear critical point at $lambda=1$. When $lambdale1$, the one-way quantum deficit has an analytical expression that coincides with the relative entropy of coherence. We also study an $XX$ model and an Ising chain at the finite temperatures.
We plot the geometry of several distance-based quantifiers of coherence for Bell-diagonal states. We find that along with both $l_{1}$ norm and relative entropy of coherence changes continuously from zero to one, their surfaces move from the separable regions to the entangled regions. Based on this fact, it is more illuminating to use an intuitive geometry to explain quantum states with nonzero coherence can be used for entanglement creation, rather than the other way around. We find the necessary and sufficient conditions that quantum discord of Bell-diagonal states equal to its relative entropy of coherence and depict the surfaces of the equality. We give surfaces of relative entropy of coherence for $X$ states. We show the surfaces of dynamics of relative entropy of coherence for Bell-diagonal states under local nondissipative channels and find that all coherence under local nondissipative channels decrease.
