Our numerical simulation results show that the non-degenerate eigenvalues do effect the performances of the estimated minimum variances. From below the threshold to above the threshold, with the increase of the pump parameter, the tripartite CV entanglement gradually disappears. The different off-diagonal elements seriously distort the weights for entanglement. We can obtain a good tripartite CV entanglement by appropriately controlling the values of off-diagonal elements eij.展开更多

Under the large detuning condition, an effective Hamiltonian containing the square of the creation （annihilation） operator of the cavity field is derived. Due to the nonlinearity, entanglement formally created by the beam splitter type interaction is transformed into the nondegenerate parametric down conversion type. Employing the operator algebraic method, we study the time evolution of the entanglement condition, and show that the system provides us an advantage in achieving a larger photon number with better entanglement. We also discuss the dissipation of the cavities affecting the entanglement.展开更多

[Front. Phys. 9（1）, 74 （2014）] to a two-mode case, we investigate how a two-mode squeezed vacuum evolves when it undergoes a two-mode amplitude dissipative channel, with the same decay rate ~, using the continuous-variable entangled state approach. Our analytical results show that the initial pure-squeezed vacuum state evolves into a definite mixed state with entanglement and squeezing, decaying over time as a result of amplitude decay. We also investigate the time evolutions of the photon number distribution, the Wigner function, and the optical tomogram in this channel. Our results indicate that the evolved photon number distribution is related to Jacobi polynomials, the Wigner function has a standard Gaussian distribution （corresponding to the vacuum） at long periods, losing its nonclassicality due to amplitude decay, and a larger squeezing leads to a longer decay time.展开更多

A new approach for calculating the secret information rate △I is proposed by using the Shannon information theory. Employing an available parameter F which is associated with the entanglement of the EPR pairs, one can detect easily the eavesdropping. Results show that the proposed scheme is secure against individual bearn splitter attack strategy with a proper squeeze parameter.展开更多
