α-decay half-lives of superheavy nuclei and general predictions

The generalized liquid drop model （GLDM） and the cluster model have been employed to calculate the α-decay half-lives of superheavy nuclei （SHN） using the experimental α-decay Q values. The results of the cluster model are slightly poorer than those from the GLDM if experimental Q values are used. The prediction powers of these two models with theoretical Q values from Audi et al. （QAudi） and Muntian et al. （QM） have been tested to find that the cluster model with QAudi and QM could provide reliable results for Z 〉 112 but the GLDM with QAudi for Z 112. The half-lives of some still unknown nuclei are predicted by these two models and these results may be useful for future experimental assignment and identification.     

Deterministic Secure Quantum Communication with Cluster State and Bell-Basis Measurements

We present a novel protocol for deterministic secure quantum communication by using the lour-qubit cluster state as quantum channel. It is shown that two legitimate users can directly transmit the secret messages based on Bellbasis measurements and classical communication. The present protocol makes use of the ideas of block transmission and decoy particle checking technique. It has a high capacity as each cluster state can carry two 5its of information, and has a high intrinsic efficieney 5ecause almost all the instances except the decoy checking particles （its numSer is negligible） are useful. Furthermore, this protocol is feasible with present-day technique.     

Gound State Properties of Nuclei in ^295118 α-Decay Chain

The properties of nuclei belonging to the α-decay chain of superheavy element ^295118 have been studied in the framework of axially deformed relativistic mean field （RMF） theory with the parameter set of NL-Z2 in the blocked BCS approximation. Some ground state properties such as binding energies, deformations, and α-decay energies Qα have been obtained and agree well with those from finite-range droplet model （FRDM）. The single-particle spectra of nuclei in ^295118 α-decay chain show that the shell gaps present obviously nucleon number dependence. The root-mean-square （rms） radii of proton, neutron and matter distributions change slowly from ^283112 to ^295118 but dramatically from ^279110 to ^283112, which may be due to the subshell closure at Z = 110 in ^279110. The α-decay half-lives in 295118 decay chain are evaluated by employing the cluster model and the generalized liquid drop model （GLDM）, and the overall agreement is found when they are compared with the known experimental data. The α-decay lifetimes obtained from the cluster model are slightly larger than those of GLDM ones. Finally, we predict the α-decay half-lives of Z=118, 116, 114, 112 isotopes using the cluster model and GLDM, which also indicate these two models can corroborate each other in studies on superheavy nuclei. The results from GLDM are always lower than those obtained from the cluster model.     

Teleportation Capability of Six-Qubit Cluster State

Recently Wei-Bo Gao et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 104 （2010） 020501]; reported on the creation of a 4-photon 6-qubit cluster state. It is shown this states can be utilized for perfect teleportation of arbitrary three qubit systems and controlled teleportation of an arbitrary two-qubit state. Therefore, the six-qubit cluster state as quantum channels is equivalent to that of maximally six-qubit entangled state.     

Efficient One-Step Generation of Cluster State with Charge Qubits in Circuit QED

t We propose theoretical schemes to generate highly entangled cluster state with superconducting qubits in a circuit QED architecture. Charge qubits are located inside a superconducting transmission line, which serves as a quantum data bus. We show that large clusters state can be efficiently generated in just one step with the longrange Ising-like unitary operators. The quantum operations which are generally realized by two coupling mechanisms： either voltage coupling or current coupling, depend only on global geometric features and are insensitive not only to the thermal state of the transmission line but also to certain random operation errors. Thus high-fidelity one-way quantum computation can be achieved.     

Quantum phase transitions of fermionic atoms in an anisotropic triangular optical lattice

The effect of anisotropy caused by a confining potential on the properties of fermionic cold atoms in a triangular optical lattice is systematically investigated by using the dynamical cluster approximation combined with the continuous time quantum Monte–Carlo algorithm.The quantum phase diagrams which reflect the temperature–interaction relation and the competition between the anisotropic parameter and the interaction are presented with full consideration of the anisotropy of the system.Our results show that the system undergoes a transition from Fermi liquid to Mott insulator when the repulsive interaction reaches a critical value.The Kondo effect also can be observed in this system and the pseudogap is suppressed at low temperatures due to the Kondo effect.A feasible experiment protocol to observe these phenomena in an anisotropic triangular optical lattice with cold atoms is proposed,in which the hopping terms are closely related to the lattice confining potential and the atomic interaction can be adjusted via the Feshbach resonance.     

Systematic studies on α-decay half-lives for super heavy nuclei

Radioactive decay of super heavy nuclei via the emission of α-particles has been studied theoretically in the preformed cluster model （PCM）. The nucleus-nucleus （NN） potential is obtained by double folding the density distributions of the α-particle and the daughter nucleus with a realistic effective interaction. The M3Y effective interaction, supplemented by a zero-range pseudo-potential for exchange term, is used to calculate the NN potential. The α decay half-lives for 317 nuclei at Z=102 120 are performed in the PCM framework with the theoretical Q values extracted from the MSller-Nix-Kratz and Liran-Marinov-Zeldes mass tables and are compared with the experimental data. The calculated results are also compared with those obtained by using Q values from the Muntian-Hofmann-Patyk-Sobiczewski and Myers-Swiatecki mass estimates.     

Analytical and Numerical Studies of Quantum Plateau State in One Alternating Heisenberg Chain

By using the coupled duster method and the numerical density matrix renormalization group method, we investigate the properties of the quantum plateau state in an alternating Heisenberg spin chain. In the absence of a magnetic field, the results obtained from the coupled cluster method and density matrix renormalization group method both show that the ground state of the aiternating chain is a gapped dimerized state when the parameter a exceeds a critical point ac. The value of the critical points can be determined precisely by a detailed investigation of the behavior of the spin gap. The system therefore possesses an m = 0 plateau state in the presence of a magnetic field When a 〉 ac. In addition to the m = 0 plateau state, the results of density matrix renormaiization group indicate that there is an m = 1/4 plateau state that occurs between two critical fields in the alternating chain if a 〉 1. The mechanism for the m = 1/4 plateau state and the critical behavior of the magnetization as one approaches this plateau state are also discussed.     

Generation of Atomic Cluster State via Adiabatic Evolution of Dark Eigenstates

We propose a scheme to generate atomic cluster states of arbitrary configuration in the cavity quantum electrodynamics （QED） system. The process is achieved via adiabatic evolution of dark states, which only requires adiabatically increasing or decreasing Rabi frequencies of laser. Thus it allows the robust implementation of entanglement against certain types of errors. Our scheme is relatively decoherence-free in the sense that excited atomic states are never populated and excited cavity photon states can be made negligible in certain conditions.     

Structural,electronic, and magnetic properties of boron cluster anions doped with aluminum：BnAl-（2〈n〈9）

The geometrical structures, relative stabilities, electronic and magnetic properties of small BnAl-（2〈n〈9）clusters are systematicalyy investigated by using the first-principles density functional theory. The results show that the A1 atom prefers to reside either on the outer-side or above the surface, but not in the centre of the clusters in all of the most stable BnAl-（2〈n〈9） isomers and the one excess electron is strong enough to modify the geometries of some specific sizes of the neutral clusters. All the results of the analysis for the fragmentation energies, the second-order difference of energies, and the highest occupied-lowest unoccupied molecular orbital energy gaps show that B4A1- and B8A1- clusters each have a higher relative stability. Especially, the BsA1-cluster has the most enhanced chemical stability. Furthermore, both the local magnetic moments and the total magnetic moments display a pronounced oddeven oscillation with the number of boron atoms, and the magnetic effects arise mainly from the boron atoms except for the B7A1- and BgA1- clusters.     

Controlled Teleportation Using Four-Particle Cluster State

A controlled teleportation scheme is presented. In this scheme, quantum information of a single-qubit state or an entangled two-qubits state is transmitted from a sender （Alice） to a receiver （Charlie） via a four-particle cluster state under the control of the supervisor （Bob）. The feature of this scheme is that the teleportation between the sender and the receiver depends on the control of the supervisor.     

Generation of Four-Photon Cluster State with Coherent Light via Cross-Kerr Nonlinearity

We propose two schemes for preparing four-photon cluster state through cross-Kerr nonlinearity. Two coherent fields interact when they enter a nonlinear Kerr medium. If the interaction time is chosen appropriately in each Kerr medium, four-photon cluster state can be generated based on the results of two homodyne detectors in the first scheme. These schemes only use Kerr medium and homodyne measurements on coherent light fields, which can be effciently made in quantum optical laboratories. In addition, weak cross-Kerr nonlinearity is sufficient. All of the properties make these schemes feasible in experiments.     

First-principles influence of study of GaTAs7 multi-charge on ionic cluster and its structure

This paper investigates the structures and stabilities of neutral GaTAs7 cluster and its ions in detail by using first-principles density functional theory. Many low energy structures of GaTAs7 cluster are found. It confirms that the ground state structure of neutral GaTAs7 cluster is a pentagonal prism with four face atoms like a basket structure, as reported by previous works. The ground state structures of positive Ga7As7 cluster ions are different from that of the neutral cluster. These investigations suggest that Ga atoms occupy the capping positions more easily than As atoms. Mulliken population analyses also show that Ga atoms can lose or obtain charge more easily than As atoms. It finds that the neutral GaTAs7 cluster can become more stable by gaining one or two additional electrons but further more electrons would cause the decrease of binding energy. The ionisation energy increases with the increase of the number of the removed electrons. These calculated results indicate that the net magnetic moment of the neutral GaTAs7 cluster is zero because all electrons axe paired together in their respective moleculax orbits. But for the ionic GaTAs7 cluster with odd number of electrons, the net magnetic moment is 1.0 μB due to an unpaired electron.     

Intermediate Energy Pion-~(20)Ne Elastic Scattering in the α+~(16)O Model of (20)~Ne

We present an analysis of π-20Ne elastic scattering at intermediate energy basing on the α+16O model of the20Ne nucleus and in the framework of Glauber multiple scattering theory. Satisfactory agreement with the general features of the experimental data of pion elastic scattering on the neighboring 4N-type nuclei is obtained without any free parameters. Compared with the experimental angular distributions of pion elastic scattering on12C,16O,24Mg,and28Si nuclei, the difractive patterns and the positions of the dips and peaks in the angular distributions of π-20Ne elastic scattering are reasonably predicted by the calculations.     

Formation Mechanism and Binding Energy for Body-Centred Regular Icosahedral Structure of Li13 Cluster

The formation mechanism for the body-centred regular icosahedral structure of Li13 cluster is proposed. The curve of the total energy versus the separation R between the nucleus at the centre and nuclei at the apexes for this structure of Li13 has been calculated by using the method of Gou＇s modified arrangement channel quantum mechanics （MACQM）. The result shows that the curve has a minimal energy of-96.951 39 a.u. at R = 5.46ao. When R approaches to infinity, the total energy of thirteen lithium atoms has the value of-96.564 38 a.u. So the binding energy of Lii3 with respect to thirteen lithium atoms is 0.387 01 a.u. Therefore the binding energy per atom for Lii3 is 0.029 77 a.u. or 0.810 eV, which is greater than the binding energy per atom of 0.453 eV for Li2, 0.494 eV for Li3, 0.7878 eV for Li4. 0.632 eV for Lis, and 0.674 eV for Liv calculated by us previously. This means that the Li13 cluster may be formed stably in a body-centred regular icosahedral structure with a greater binding energy.     

Formation Mechanism and Binding Energy for Regular Octahedral Structure of Li6 Cluster

The formation mechanism for the regular octahedral structure of Liscluster is proposed. The curve of the total energy versus the separation R between any two neighboring nuclei has been calculated by using the method of Gou＇s modified arrangement channel quantum mechanics （MACQM）. The result shows that the curve has a minimal energy of -44.736 89 a.u. at R = 5.07a0. When R approaches infinity, the total energy of six lithium atoms has the value of -44.568 17 a.u. So the binding energy of Li6 with respect to six lithium atoms is 0.1687 a.u. Therefore, the binding energy per atom for Li6 is 0.028 12 a.u., or 0.7637 eV, which is greater than the binding energy per atom of 0.453 eV for Li2 and the binding energy per atom of 0.494 eV for Li3 calculated in our previous work. This means that the Li6 cluster may be formed in a regular octahedral structure with a greater binding energy.     

Molecular dynamics simulation of an argon cluster filled inside carbon nanotubes

The effects of the diameters of single-walled carbon nanotubes （SWCNTs） （7.83A to 27.40A） and temperature （20 K-45 K） on the equilibrium structure of an argon cluster are systematically studied by molecular dynamics simulation with consideration of the SWCNTs to be fixed. Since the diameters of SWCNTs with different chiralities increase when temperature is fixed at 20 K, the equilibrium structures of the argon cluster transform from monoatomic chains to helical and then to multishell coaxial cylinders. Chirality has almost no noticeable influence on these cylindrosymmetric structures. The effects of temperature and a non-equilibrium sudden heating process on the structures of argon clusters in SWCNTs are also studied by molecular dynamics simulation.     

Generation of a Four-Particle Cluster State and Perfect Teleportation of an Arbitrary Two-Particle State in an Ion-Trap System

We propose a scheme for generating a four-particle cluster state in an ion-trap system. The scheme is insensitive to the thermal motion of the ions, and needs less operations than previous ones. With such a setup, we also demonstrate a procedure for perfectly teleporting an arbitrary two-particle state via a single multipartite entanglement channel, a four-particle cluster state.

Theoretical Study of the Collision-Induced Double Transition CO(2) (nu(3) = 1) + N(2) (nu(1) = 1) <-- CO(2) (nu(3) = 0) + N(2) (nu(1) = 0) at 296 K

A procedure is presented for the calculation of the double vibrational collision-induced absorption CO(2) (nu(3) = 1) + N(2) (nu(1) = 1) <-- CO(2) (nu(3) = 0) + N(2) (nu(1) = 0) on the basis of quantum lineshapes computed using an isotropic potential and dipole-induced dipole functions. The linestrengths and energies of the vibration-rotation transitions are treated explicitly for N(2), utilizing the HITRAN database for CO(2). The theoretical absorption profile is compared to recent experimental results. By narrowing the width of the individual lines contributing to the overall absorption profile relative to their values determined for N(2)-N(2) collision-induced absorption, excellent agreement between theory and experiment is obtained.
