Geometry and Entanglement of Super-Qubit Quantum States

Abstract

We introduce the super-qubit quantum state, determined by superposition of the zero and the one super-particle states, which can be represented by points on the super-Bloch sphere. In contrast to the one qubit case, the one super-particle state is characterized by points in extended complex plain, equivalent to another super-Bloch sphere. Then, geometrically, the super-qubit quantum state is represented by two unit spheres, or the direct product of two Bloch spheres. By using the displacement operator, acting on the super-qubit state as the reference state, we construct the super-coherent states, becoming eigenstates of the super-annihilation operator, and characterized by three complex numbers, the displacement parameter and stereographic projections of two super-Bloch spheres. The states are fermion-boson entangled, and the concurrence of states is the product of two concurrences, corresponding to two Bloch spheres. We show geometrical meaning of concurrence as distance from point-state on the sphere to vertical axes - the radius of circle at horizontal plane through the point-state. Then, probabilities of collapse to the north pole state and to the south pole state are equal to half-distances from vertical coordinate of the state to corresponding points at the poles. For complimentary fermion number operator, we get the flipped super-qubit state and corresponding super-coherent state, as eigenstate of transposed super-annihilation operator. The infinite set of Fibonacci oscillating circles in complex plain, and corresponding set of quantum states with uncertainty relations as the ratio of two Fibonacci numbers, and in the limit at infinity becoming the Golden Ratio uncertainty, is derived.

Quantum Authenticated Key Expansion with Key Recycling

Data privacy and authentication are two main security requirements for remote access and cloud services. While QKD has been explored to address data privacy concerns, oftentimes its use is separate from the client authentication protocol despite implicitly providing authentication. Here, we present a quantum authentication key expansion (QAKE) protocol that (1) integrates both authentication and key expansion within a single protocol, and (2) provides key recycling property - allowing all authentication keys to be reused. We analyse the security of the protocol in a QAKE framework adapted from a classical authentication key exchange (AKE) framework, providing separate security conditions for authentication and data privacy. We experimentally implemented the protocol with appropriate post-selection. Additional results on the security of pseudorandom basis generation in QAKE and decoy state BB84 are provided.

Entanglement as Difference: Reduction-induced Minimal Partial Entropy Difference

Bipartite mixed-state quantum entanglement (QE) and its measures play a crucial role in both theoretical research and practical quantum applications. Its internal structure is far more complex and less well understood compared with bipartite pure-state QE. Some existing measures involve inherently intractable global optimizations, while others are only applicable to highly limited-dimensional quantum systems. Here based on the inherent feature that bipartite QE systems nonseparable necessarily implies that local reduced density matrix differs from its \textquotedblleft native\textquotedblright density matrix, we propose a more physical and intuitive measure termed Reduction-induced Minimal Partial Entropy Difference to quantify arbitrary bipartite mixed-state QE. Partial Von Neumann Entropy is only a pure-state special case of this method. This measure offers intrinsic structural %perspective insights into bipartite QE characterization, thereby establishing itself as a valuable complementary measure. Its intuitive and clear physical picture, combined with relatively low computational complexity and wide applicability, facilitates exploring its potential quantum information applications, hence its conceptual framework and line of thought deserve to be further developed to describe and quantify multipartite QE in the future.

Non-local mass superpositions and optical clock interferometry in atomic ensemble quantum networks

Quantum networks are emerging as powerful platforms for sensing, communication, and fundamental tests of physics. We propose a programmable quantum sensing network based on entangled atomic ensembles, where optical clock qubits realize mass superpositions arising via mass-energy equivalence, as in atom and atom-clock interferometry. Our approach uniquely combines scalability to large atom numbers with minimal control requirements, relying only on collective addressing of internal atomic states. This enables the creation of both non-local and local superpositions with spatial separations beyond those achievable in conventional matter-wave interferometry with single atoms. Starting from Bell-type seed states distributed via photonic channels, collective operations within atomic ensembles coherently build many-body mass superpositions sensitive to gravitational redshift. The resulting architecture implements a non-local Ramsey interferometer, where gravitationally induced phase shifts are imprinted on non-local entangled states and are read out through local measurements at the network nodes. Beyond extending the spatial reach of mass superpositions, our scheme establishes a scalable, programmable platform to probe the interface of quantum mechanics and gravity, and offers a new experimental pathway to test atom and atom-clock interferometer proposals, e.g. for probing gravitational dephasing, in a network-based quantum laboratory.
