Effect of weak measurement on entanglement distribution over noisy channels.

ABSTRACT: Being able to implement effective entanglement distribution in noisy environments is a key step towards practical quantum communication, and long-term efforts have been made on the development of it. Recently, it has been found that the null-result weak measurement (NRWM) can be used to enhance probabilistically the entanglement of a single copy of amplitude-damped entangled state. This paper investigates remote distributions of bipartite and multipartite entangled states in the amplitudedamping environment by combining NRWMs and entanglement distillation protocols (EDPs). We show that the NRWM has no positive effect on the distribution of bipartite maximally entangled states and multipartite Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, although it is able to increase the amount of entanglement of each source state (noisy entangled state) of EDPs with a certain probability. However, we find that the NRWM would contribute to remote distributions of multipartite W states. We demonstrate that the NRWM can not only reduce the fidelity thresholds for distillability of decohered W states, but also raise the distillation efficiencies of W states. Our results suggest a new idea for quantifying the ability of a local filtering operation in protecting entanglement from decoherence.

Project description:Oscillatory phenomena are ubiquitous across different biological scales, from individual cells to tissues and whole organisms. In physical systems, oscillatory behaviour can emerge from weak coupling of independent stochastic elements. Once established, oscillations can drive coordinated group behaviour and encode robust information through oscillation frequency or amplitude. Here we use experimentation and modelling to understand the emergence and information coding properties of oscillatory cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) signaling in D. discoideum. Oscillatory cAMP signaling drives aggregation of individual amoebae and coordinated temporal shifts in gene expression. However, it is unknown how the collective behaviour emerges and attenuates in an auto-regulatory manner where temporal transcriptional regulation must decode variation in cAMP pulse count, frequency, or amplitude. To address these questions, we identified a transcription factor, Hbx5, that is essential for the initiation of collective behaviour and its activity provides a single-cell readout of the earliest sign of cAMP signaling. This reveals stochastic pulses in cAMP signaling precede collective oscillations, with Hbx5 dependent transcriptional feedback enhancing signal sensitivity necessary for the emergence of collective oscillations. We demonstrate that once collective oscillations have been established, another cAMP-regulated transcription factor, GtaC, required for subsequent developmental progression becomes activated. Modelling and experimentation suggest that temporal differences in transcription factor activation arise from differences in the threshold at which the protein kinase, ErkB, influences their activity. This leads us to propose that changes in the amplitude of cAMP oscillations during development encode temporal information, driving the orderly progression of development. These studies thus provide crucial insights into the principles driving collective behaviour and the evolution of multicellular systems.
