Quantum entanglement has emerged as a new resource to enhance cooperation and remove dilemmas. This paper aims to explore conditions under which full cooperation is achievable even when the information of payoff is incomplete.Based on the quantum version of the extended classical cash in a hat game, we demonstrate that quantum entanglement may be used for achieving full cooperation or avoiding moral hazards with the reasonable profit distribution policies even when the profit is uncertain to a certain degree. This research further suggests that the fairness of profit distribution should play an important role in promoting full cooperation. It is hopeful that quantum entanglement and fairness will promote full cooperation among distant people from various interest groups when quantum networks and quantum entanglement are accessible to the public.
We present a study of single nanoparticle detection using parity-time(PT) symmetric whispering-gallery mode(WGM) resonators. Our theoretical model and numerical simulations show that, with balanced gain and loss, the PT-symmetric WGM nanoparticle sensor, tailored to operate at PT phase transition points(also called exceptional points), exhibits significant enhancement in frequency splitting when compared with a single WGM nanoparticle sensor subject to the same perturbation. The presence of gain in the PT-symmetric system leads to narrower linewidth, which helps to resolve smaller changes in frequency splitting and improve the detection limit of nanoparticle sensing. Furthermore, we also provide a general method for detecting multiple nanoparticles entering the mode volume of a PT-symmetric WGM sensor one by one. Our study shows the feasibility of PT-symmetric WGM resonators for ultrasensitive single nanoparticle and biomolecule sensing.

We theoretically study the transparency and amplification of a weak probe field applied to the cavity in hybrid systems formed by a driven superconducting circuit QED system and a mechanical resonator,or a driven optomechanical system and a superconducting qubit.We find that both the mechanical resonator and the superconducting qubit can result in the transparency to a weak probe field in such hybrid systems when a strong driving field is applied to the cavity.We also find that the weak probe field can be amplified in some parameter regimes.We further study the statistical properties of the output field via the degrees of second-order coherence.We find that the nonclassicality of the output field strongly depends on the system parameters.Our studies show that one can control single-photon transmission in the optomechanical system via a tunable artificial atom or in the circuit QED system via a mechanical resonator.
A novel quantum memory scheme is proposed for quantum data buses in scalable quantum computers by using adjustable interaction. Our investigation focuses on a hybrid quantum system including coupled flux qubits and a nitrogen–vacancy center ensemble. In our scheme, the transmission and storage(retrieval) of quantum state are performed in two separated steps, which can be controlled by adjusting the coupling strength between the computing unit and the quantum memory. The scheme can be used not only to reduce the time of quantum state transmission, but also to increase the robustness of the system with respect to detuning caused by magnetic noises. In comparison with the previous memory scheme, about 80% of the transmission time is saved. Moreover, it is exemplified that in our scheme the fidelity could achieve 0.99 even when there exists detuning, while the one in the previous scheme is 0.75.
In this paper,we explore how to estimate the phase damping parameter γ and the tunneling amplitude parameter ?from a spin-boson dephasing quantum model by periodical projective measurements.The preparation of initial states is accomplished by performing the period measurements in our scheme.The parameter γ can be always estimated when projective measurement bases are chosen as θ = π/2 and φ = 0.Based on the estimated value of γ and the interval information of ?,we can select another measurement bases(θ = π/4 and φ = π/2) to obtain the estimated value of ?.A coherent control is indispensable to estimate ? if γ is in the interval of ?;whereas the control is not necessary if γ is out of the known interval of ?.We establish the relation between the optimal period time and the parameter γ or ? in terms of Fisher information.Although the optimal measurement period cannot be selected beforehand,the aforementioned relation can be utilized to adjust the measurement period to approach the optimal one.
