量子通信中的相对论性多普勒效应
Relativistic Doppler effect in quantum communication
摘要:
当电磁信号在真空中传播时,由于衍射效应,偏振检测器不能严格垂直于波矢量。即使探测器是完美的,真空也表现为一个嘈杂的通道。然而,通过观察者向声源的相对运动,"噪声"可以被减小,甚至几乎被消除。约化密度矩阵的标准定义不能用于光子偏振,因为横截性条件的行为类似于超选择规则。然而,我们可以定义一个有效的约化密度矩阵,它对应于一类受限制的正算子值测度。没有纯光子量子比特,也没有完全正交的量子比特状态。
英文摘要:
When an electromagnetic signal propagates in vacuo, a polarization detector cannot be rigorously perpendicular to the wave vector because of diffraction effects. The vacuum behaves as a noisy channel, even if the detectors are perfect. The ``noise'' can however be reduced and nearly cancelled by a relative motion of the observer toward the source. The standard definition of a reduced density matrix fails for photon polarization, because the transversality condition behaves like a superselection rule. We can however define an effective reduced density matrix which corresponds to a restricted class of positive operator-valued measures. There are no pure photon qubits, and no exactly orthogonal qubit states.
