What distinguishes cancer from other more treatable diseases is perhaps the random, multi-strain nature of the disease. Here we apply tools from statistical mechanics to model cancer vaccine design. The difficulty of controlling cancer by many of the standard therapies has led to substantial...

We investigate the dynamics of quantum discord during the purification process. In the case of Werner states, it is shown that quantum discord is increased after a round of purification protocol. Furthermore, quantum mutual information and classical correlation is also increased during this...

Following a recent proposal (Phys. Rev. Lett. 85 (2000) 2392) about quantum information processing using dispersive atom–cavity interaction, in this paper, we proposed a physical scheme to concentrate the pure non-maximally entangled atomic states via cavity QED by using atomic collision in a...

We propose a physical scheme for teleporting an unknown atomic state in cavity QED. Our scheme does not involve the Bell-state measurement. The most distinctive advantage of our scheme is that teleportation and distillation procedure can be realized simultaneously. In addition, the current...

In this paper, we propose two physical schemes, which can teleport unknown atomic state from user A (Alice) to user B (Bob) using the W class state as quantum channel. The two schemes are all based on Cavity QED techniques. The fidelity of the teleported state in the two schemes is equal to 1.0,...

In this paper, we propose a theoretical entanglement concentration protocol for unknown triparticle W class states, and then the physical implementation of this proposal has also been presented in cavity QED. The general protocol is mainly based on the appropriate Bell state measurements. In the...

In this paper a novel scheme is proposed where with the help of Victor (a state preparer) an unknown EPR pair is copied in a certain probability so that three parties of communication can obtain the EPR state, respectively. The first stage of this scheme is to teleport an unknown EPR state to...

Using the highly detuned interaction between three-level Λ-type atoms and coherent optical fields, we can realize the C-NOT gates from atoms to atoms, optical fields to optical fields, atoms to optical fields and optical fields to atoms. Based on the realization of the C-NOT gates we propose an...

In this paper, we first propose a general entanglement distillation protocol for three-particle W class states, which can concentrate the W′ state (non-maximally entangled W state). The general protocol is mainly based on the unitary transformations on the auxiliary particles and the entangled...
