Entanglement death and teleportation pre-emption in a dissipative system of two coupled qubits

We discuss the entanglement of two coupled qubits each of which is interacting with a multi-mode squeezed vacuum field reservoir and the possibility to use them in a teleportation protocol. The entanglement sudden death (ESD) and teleportation pre-emption (TPE) are discovered in this system. We consider the interplay between the coupling strength and the squeezing parameter, and find that they play competing roles in entanglement as well as in teleportation. We show in detail how the entanglement decay affects the teleportation. It is interesting to show that TPE precedes ESD in general, and for given measurement result and squeeze parameter all output states of teleportation for a long time arrive at a fixed asymptotic point in the Bloch sphere.     

Effects of aversive odour presentation on inhibitory control in the Stroop colour-word interference task

Background  

Due to the unique neural projections of the olfactory system, odours have the ability to directly influence affective processes. Furthermore, it has been shown that emotional states can influence various non-emotional cognitive tasks, such as memory and planning. However, the link between emotional and cognitive processes is still not fully understood. The present study used the olfactory pathway to induce a negative emotional state in humans to investigate its effect on inhibitory control performance in a standard, single-trial manual Stroop colour-word interference task. An unpleasant (H₂S) and an emotionally neutral (Eugenol) odorant were presented in two separate experimental runs, both in blocks alternating with ambient air, to 25 healthy volunteers, while they performed the cognitive task.     

CuPd interface charge and energy quantum entrapment: A tight-binding and XPS investigation

Materials at heterojunction interfaces demonstrate many physical and chemical properties that are indeed fascinating with mechanisms that need yet to be explored. We show herewith that the “interface charge and energy quantum entrapment due to bond order distortion and bond nature alteration” perturbs essentially the Hamiltonian and hence the binding energy of the CuPd alloy interface. Analyzing the X-ray photoelectron emission of the thermally induced evolution of the Cu 2p and Pd 3d core-level energies at the Cu-Pd interface before and after thermally alloying revealed that the Pd 3d and Cu 2p interfacial potential traps are 0.36 and 0.95 times deeper than the potential wells of the corresponding bulk constituents standing alone.     

Improvement in the blood compatibility of polyvinylidene fluoride membranes via in situ cross‐linking polymerization

In this study, we have provided a highly efficient, convenient, and universal protocol for preparing polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) membranes with low blood contact activation via in situ cross‐linking copolymerization of 2‐hydroxyethl methacrylate (HEMA) and acrylic acid (AA) in a solution of PVDF. The modified membranes were prepared from PVDF solution by phase inversion technology. The composition and morphology of the modified membranes were confirmed by attenuated total reflectance‐Fourier transform infrared (ATR‐FTIR) spectroscopy, thermogravimetric (TG) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Protein adsorption, clotting time, and contact activation on the modified PVDF membranes were systematically studied, the results indicating that after the incorporation of AA and HEMA, the modified PVDF membranes possessed anticoagulant properties in addition to low contact activation of blood components when in contact with blood. Therefore, fluorinated PVDF membranes with surfaces enriched with carboxyl and hydroxyl groups possessed the potential for use in long‐term blood‐contacting devices.     

Synthesis of core‐shell magnetic molecularly imprinted polymer for the selective determination of imidacloprid in apple samples

This work demonstrates the synthesis and characterization of core‐shell magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers based on surface imprinting using methacryloyl chloride as a functional monomer for the selective extraction of imidacloprid (template) from apple fruit. The characterization analysis results ensured the successful synthesis of the magnetic molecularly imprinted polymers owing to their heterogeneous structure and good magnetic properties. An isothermal binding test was assessed with a pseudo‐second‐order kinetic model, and the kinetic results fit well to the Freundlich isothermal model. The polymers exhibited an adsorption capacity of 5.75 mg/g for the target analyte with a good selective extraction ability. In addition, the polymers can be reused several times without significant performance loss. The molecularly imprinted polymers showed good performance in the analysis of spiked apple sample with a linear range of 0.05–1.0 mg/L, a limit of detection of 0.048 mg/L and a limit of quantification of 0.146 mg/L (S/N = 3/10). The recoveries of the samples were 77.66–96.57% and their respective relative standard deviations were 3.36–0.45%. All the results indicated that the proposed method provided good selective extraction, as qualifying the analytical standards.     

基于Q-plate的双图像非对称偏振加密

基于Q-plate提出了一种对两幅图像做非对称偏振加密的新方法.在该方法中,首先,将待加密的两幅图像通过干涉分解成两块纯相位板;其次,将这两块纯相位板分别编码到偏振光的两个正交分量中;最后,利用Q-plate和像素化的偏振片改变这束光的偏振分布,达到对图像的加密效果,用电荷耦合器件接收输出面的强度分布图作为最终的密文.其中一块纯相位板作为解密密钥.算法的解密密钥不同于加密密钥,由此实现了非对称加密.由于Q-plate是电调控的,它的每个像素点的光轴各不相同,所以能够根据描述变面结构空间旋转率的常数q来改变每个像素的偏振态.加密过程中用Q-plate的q值和像素化的偏振片的偏振角度作为加密密钥,这两个加密密钥具有很高的敏感性,极大地提高了算法的安全性.数值模拟结果验证了该方法的可行性和有效性.     

The Ultrafast and Continuous Fabrication of a Polydimethylsiloxane Membrane by Ultraviolet‐Induced Polymerization

The polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) membrane commonly used for separation of biobutanol from fermentation broth fails to meet demand owing to its discontinuous and polluting thermal fabrication. Now, an UV‐induced polymerization strategy is proposed to realize the ultrafast and continuous fabrication of the PDMS membrane. UV‐crosslinking of synthesized methacrylate‐functionalized PDMS (MA‐PDMS) is complete within 30 s. The crosslinking rate is three orders of magnitude larger than the conventional thermal crosslinking. The MA‐PDMS membrane shows a versatile potential for liquid and gas separations, especially featuring an excellent pervaporation performance for n‐butanol. Filler aggregation, the major bottleneck for the development of high‐performance mixed matrix membranes (MMMs), is overcome, because the UV polymerization strategy demonstrates a freezing effect towards fillers in polymer, resulting in an extremely high‐loading silicalite‐1/MA‐PDMS MMM with uniform particle distribution.
