Three-Dimensional Quantum State Transferring Between Two Remote Atoms by Adiabatic Passage under Dissipation

Recently, Zhou et al. [Phys. Rev. A 79 （2009） 044304] proposed a scheme for transferring three-dimensional quantum states between remote atomic qubits confined in cavities connected by fibers through adiabatic passage. In order to avoid the decoherence due to spontaneous emission, Zhou et al. utilized the large detuning atom-field interaction. In the present paper, we discuss the influence of dissipation on the scheme in both the resonant atom-field interaction case and the large detuning case. We numerically analyze the success probability and the transferring fidelity. It is shown that the resonant case is a preferable choice for the technique of the stimulated Raman adiabatic passage （STIRAP） due to the shorter operation time and the smaller probability of dissipation.

Implementing minimal clock skew Directed Logic

Although the physics of computing allows the possibility of logic operations with no energy dissipation, over 40 years of work by brilliant scientists in many fields has not achieved it. The solution described here required breaking from the tacit assumptions that logic gates had to be electronic. The system is implemented entirely with passive optical components. Also needed was a logic that could utilize those passive components. Hardy and Shamir showed how to map a Boolean logic problem into a form suitable to be implemented by light flowing through various paths and cascaded as needed. This paper examines a modular approach to implementing their approach (called Directed Logic) in an integrated optical system. We start from unit cells, implementing a dynamic flip-flop principle and combine the cells in a network or “logic fabric.” Contrary to proofs by the founders of this field, speed is limited only by the message bandwidth of the optical signal, and, of course, no energy is dissipated. There are still aspects that need additional work on issues like accuracy using analog components and size relative to electronics. But the basic problem is solved at last and paths toward solving the remaining problems have been identified.

The Renewed Role of Sweep Functions in Noisy Shortcuts to Adiabaticity

We study the robustness of different sweep protocols for accelerated adiabaticity following in the presence of static errors and of dissipative and dephasing phenomena. While in the noise-free case, counterdiabatic driving is, by definition, insensitive to the form of the original sweep function, this property may be lost when the quantum system is open. We indeed observe that, according to the decay and dephasing channels investigated here, the performance of the system becomes highly dependent on the sweep function. Our findings are relevant for the experimental implementation of robust shortcuts-to-adiabaticity techniques for the control of quantum systems.     

Revisiting the structural and electronic properties of neutral,mono- and di-anionic titanium-doped silicon clusters TiSin0/−/2− (n = 6-16)

The systematic structures search for neutral and Zintl anionic Ti-doped silicon clusters TiSi_n^0/−/2− (n = 6-16) have been carried out using the ABCluster global search technique combined with a double-hybrid density functional method. Based on the predicted energies, adiabatic electron affinities, vertical detachment energies and the consistency between simulated and experimental photoelectron spectroscopy, the true global minimum structures are confirmed. The results show that structural growth pattern of neutral TiSi_n clusters is from linked structures (n = 10-12) to encapsulated configurations (n = 13-16). In contrast, the evolution pattern of Zintl anionic TiSi_n^−/2− clusters begins with the pentagonal bipyramid structure (n = 6). As the Si atoms increase, these Si atoms attach to the surface adjacent to Ti atom, and gradually surround Ti atom. Eventually, the encapsulated structure is formed when n = 12. Moreover, two extra electrons not only perfect the structure of TiSi₁₂ but also improve its chemical and thermodynamic stability.

A fully automated adiabatic calorimeter for heat capacity measurement between 80 and 400 K

A fully automated adiabatic calorimeter controlled on line by a computer used for heat capacity measurements in the temperature range from 80 to 400 K was constructed. The hardware of the calorimetric system consisted of a Data Acquisition/Switch Unit, 34970A Agilent, a 7 1/2 Digit Nano Volt /Micro Ohm Meter, 34420A Agilent, and a P4 computer. The software was developed according to modern controlling theory. The adiabatic calorimeter consisted mainly of a sample cell equipped with a miniature platinum resistance thermometer and an electric heater, two (inner and outer) adiabatic shields, two sets of six junction differential thermocouple piles and a high vacuum can. A Lake Shore 340 Temperature Controller and the two sets of differential thermocouples were used to control the adiabatic conditions between the cell and its surroundings. The reliability of the calorimeter was verified by measuring the heat capacities of synthetic sapphire (α-Al₂O₃), Standard Reference Material 720. The deviation of the data obtained by this calorimeter from those published by NIST was within ±0.1% in the temperature range from 80 to 400 K.     

Frequency-swept HSQC sequences for high-throughput NMR analysis

This article describes new versions of the DEPT phase-edited heteronuclear single quantum correlation (HSQC) pulse sequence with sensitivity enhancement. The sequences incorporate frequency-swept carbon and proton pulses. The new experiments are inherently robust, well-suited for a high-throughput setting in which sample-to-sample variations may be ignored. The observed signal has the obvious benefit of sensitivity enhancement resulting from the preservation of two magnetization transfer pathways. The two pathways are maintained even in the version of the sequence in which all pulses are frequency-swept. There is an additional signal gain of roughly 10% that derives from the use of both proton and carbon frequency-swept pulses. Furthermore, the sequences use J compensation to provide optimal signal over a range of heteronuclear coupling constants. We demonstrate that the new sequences offer good sensitivity and perform well even when the NMR probe is deliberately mistuned.
