We review entangled coherent state research since its first implicit use in 1967 to the
present. Entangled coherent states are important to quantum superselection principles …

Abstract Sir Peter Knight is a pioneer in quantum optics which has now grown to an
important branch of modern physics to study the foundations and applications of quantum …

This book is designed to give a background on the origins and development of Wigner
functions, as well as its mathematical underpinnings. Along the way the authors emphasise …

Relying on weak cross-Kerr nonlinearities, we propose a nearly deterministic generation
scheme of the three-photon polarization-entangled perfect W state which can be applied to …

Recently, a genuine four-qubit entangled state∣ χ 00⟩ 3214 has been proposed [Y. Yeo
and WK Chua, Phys. Rev. Lett. 96, 060502 (2006)]. This state has many interesting …

Three classes of entangled coherent states are employed to study the Bell-CHSH inequality.
By using pseudospin operators in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces, four dichotomic …

A novel quantum teleportation protocol for certain class of eight-qubit state is proposed. We
utilize a six-qubit cluster state as quantum channel. In our scheme, the sender performs four …

We present a general approach to calculating the entanglement of formation for
superpositions of two-mode coherent states, placed equidistantly on a circle in phase space …

We investigate a scheme for topological quantum computing using optical hybrid qubits and
make an extensive comparison with previous all-optical schemes. We show that the photon …

We consider a type of (M+ N)-mode entangled coherent states and propose a simple
deterministic scheme to generate these states that can fly freely in space. We then exploit …
