Asymmetric Catalytic Assembly of Triple-Columned and Multilayered Chiral Folding Polymers Showing Aggregation-Induced Emission (AIE)

Unprecedented chiral multilayer folding 3D polymers have been assembled and regulated by uniform and differentiated aromatic chromophore units between naphthyl piers. Screening catalysts, catalytic systems and monomers were proven to be crucial for asymmetric catalytic Suzuki–Miyaura polycouplings for this assembly. X-ray crystallography of the corresponding dimers and trimers revealed the absolute configuration and the intermolecular packing pattern. Up to 61 960 M_w/41 900 M_n and m/z 4317 for polymers and oligomers, as confirmed by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) and MALDI-TOF MS, indicated that these frameworks were composed of multiple stacked layers. The resulting multiple π-assemblies exhibited remarkable optical properties in aggregated states (photoluminescence in solids and aggregation-induced emission in solutions), as well as reversible redox properties in electrochemical performance.

Bidirectional Quantum States Sharing

With the help of the shared entanglement and LOCC, multidirectional quantum states sharing is considered. We first put forward a protocol for implementing four-party bidirectional states sharing (BQSS) by using eight-qubit cluster state as quantum channel. In order to extend BQSS, we generalize this protocol from four sharers to multi-sharers utilizing two multi-qubit GHZ-type states as channel, and propose two multi-party BQSS schemes. On the other hand, we generalize the three schemes from two senders to multi-senders with multi GHZ-type states of multi-qubit as quantum channel, and give a multidirectional quantum states sharing protocol. In our schemes, all receivers can reconstruct the original unknown single-qubit state if and only if all sharers can cooperate. Only Pauli operations, Bell-state measurement and single-qubit measurement are used in our schemes, so these schemes are easily realized in physical experiment and their successful probabilities are all one.     

Several teleportation schemes of an arbitrary unknown multi-particle state via different quantum channels

We first provide four new schemes for two-party quantum teleportation of an arbitrary unknown multi-particle state by using three-, four-, and five-particle states as the quantum channel, respectively. The successful probability and fidelity of the four schemes reach 1. In the first two schemes, the receiver can only apply one of the unitary transformations to reconstruct the original state, making it easier for these two schemes to be directly realized. In the third and fourth schemes, the sender can preform Bell-state measurements instead of multipartite entanglement measurements of the existing similar schemes, which makes real experiments more suitable. It is found that the last three schemes may become tripartite controlled teleportation schemes of teleporting an arbitrary multi-particle state after a simple modification. Finally, we present a new scheme for three-party sharing an arbitrary unknown multi-particle state. In this scheme, the sender first shares three three-particle GHZ states with two agents. After setting up the secure quantum channel, an arbitrary unknown multi-particle state can be perfectly teleported if the sender performs three Bell-state measurements, and either of two receivers operates an appropriate unitary transformation to obtain the original state with the help of other receiver's three single-particle measurements. The successful probability and fidelity of this scheme also reach 1. It is demonstrated that this scheme can be generalized easily to the case of sharing an arbitrary unknown multi-particle state among several agents.     

空间高速粒子捕获用密度梯度气凝胶的热学与力学特性

采用正硅酸四乙酯(TEOS)的乙醇-水溶液为前驱体,氢氟酸为催化剂,结合溶胶-凝胶过程与CO2超临界流体干燥工艺,一步反应获得了密度为40-175mg·cm-3的单元气凝胶.以上述工艺为基础,通过逐层凝胶法、溶胶共凝法和梯度溶胶共凝胶法分别制备了三种密度梯度气凝胶样品,并研究了其功能梯度特性.结果表明:不同密度的气凝胶均具有粒径约为40-90nm球形颗粒构成的三维骨架结构,密度越低,骨架越疏松,峰值孔径越大,孔径分布也更为分散;三种方法制备的样品均具有明显的密度梯度,梯度特性由不连续到连续.动态热机械性能测试表明,随着密度的降低,气凝胶在低温(-100℃)和常温(25℃)下杨氏模量均有减小的趋势,其范围分别约为4.6×105-1.9×105Pa和5.0×105-2.1×105Pa.热学测试表明,随着密度的降低,气凝胶的热扩散系数增高,单位体积热容降低,而热导率则不成单调变化.     

Quantum Sharing an Unknown Multi-Particle State via POVM

Our purpose in this paper is to present a new tripartite quantum state sharing using partially quantum resources. The first scheme is to probabilistically split an unknown n-particle state using pre-shared a partially entangled four-particle cluster state as quantum resource by constructing some proper POVM. This scheme is further extended to share an unknown multi-particle cluster state using different states as quantum resources. Our schemes with general quantum channels are useful for various quantum information processing and quantum network tasks.     

Hierarchical and probabilistic quantum state sharing via a non-maximally entangled |χ〉 state

A scheme that probabilistically realizes hierarchical quantum state sharing of an arbitrary unknown qubit state with a four-qubit non-maximally entangled |χ state is presented in this paper. In the scheme, the sender Alice distributes a quantum secret with a Bell-state measurement and publishes her measurement outcomes via a classical channel to three agents who are divided into two grades. One agent is in the upper grade, while the other two agents are in the lower grade. Then by introducing an ancillary qubit, the agent of the upper grade only needs the assistance of any one of the other two agents for probabilistically obtaining the secret, while an agent of the lower grade needs the help of both the other two agents by using a controlled-NOT operation and a proper positive operator-valued measurement instead of the usual projective measurement. In other words, the agents of two different grades have different authorities to reconstruct Alice’s secret in a probabilistic manner. The scheme can also be modified to implement the threshold-controlled teleportation.     

A comparison study of on-chip short pulse generation circuits based on a coplanar waveguide

A few traditional pulse-forming circuits are implemented in a commercial 0.13 μm digital complementary-metal-oxide-semiconductor(CMOS)technology.These circuits,based on a coplanar waveguide,are analyzed and compared through CadenceTM Spectre simulations.The results show that these traditional pulse-forming-line(PFL)based circuits can be implemented in standard CMOS technology for short pulse generations.Further work is needed to explore the potential of the circuit techniques and to minimize parasitic effects.     

Polymer nanofibers prepared by low-voltage near-field electrospinning

Electrospinning is a straightforward method to produce micro/nanoscale fibers from polymer solutions typically using an operating voltage of 10 kV–30 kV and spinning distance of 10 cm–20 cm. In this paper, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) non-woven nanofibers with diameters of 200 nm–900 nm were prepared by low-voltage near-field electrospinning with a working voltage of less than 2.8 kV and a spinning distance of less than 10 mm. Besides the uniform fibers, beaded-fibers were also fabricated and the formation mechanism was discussed. Particularly, a series of experiments were carried out to explore the influence of processing variables on the formation of near-field electrospun PVP nanofibers, including concentration, humidity, collecting position, and spinning distance.
