Application of entropies to the study of the decoherence of magnetopolaron in 0-D nanosystem

Many methods have been experimented to study decoherence in quantum dot (QD). Tsallis, Shannon and Gaussian entropy have been used to study decoherence separately; in this paper, we compared the results of the Gaussian, Shannon, and Tsallis entropies in 0-D nanosystem. The linear combination operator and the unitary transformation was used to derive the magnetopolaron spectrum that strongly interacts with the LO phonons in the presence of an electric field in the pseudoharmonic and delta quantum dot. Numerical results revealed for the quantum pseudo dot that: (i) the amplitude of Gauss entropy is greater than the amplitude of Tsallis entropy which in turn is greater than the amplitude of Shannon entropy. The Tsallis entropy is not more significant in nanosystem compared to Shannon and Gauss entropies, (ii) with an increase of the zero point, the dominance of the Gauss entropy on the Shannon entropy was observed on one hand and the dominance of the Shannon entropy on the Tsallis entropy on the other hand; this suggested that in nanosystem, Gauss entropy is more suitable in the evaluation of the average of information in the system, for the delta quantum dot it was observed that (iii) when the Gauss entropy is considered, a lot of information about the system is missed. The collapse revival phenomenon in Shannon entropy was observed in RbCl and GaAs delta quantum dot with the enhancement of delta parameter; with an increase in this parameter, the system in the case of CsI evolved coherently; with Shannon and Tsallis entropies, information in the system is faster and coherently exchanged; (iv) the Shannon entropy is more significant because its amplitude outweighs the others when the delta dimension length enhances. The Tsallis entropy involves as wave bundle; which oscillate periodically with an increase of the oscillation period when delta dimension length is improved.     

Stochastic single machine scheduling problem as a multi-stage dynamic random decision process

In this work, we study a stochastic single machine scheduling problem in which the features of learning effect on processing times, sequence-dependent setup times, and machine configuration selection are considered simultaneously. More precisely, the machine works under a set of configurations and requires stochastic sequence-dependent setup times to switch from one configuration to another. Also, the stochastic processing time of a job is a function of its position and the machine configuration. The objective is to find the sequence of jobs and choose a configuration to process each job to minimize the makespan. We first show that the proposed problem can be formulated through two-stage and multi-stage Stochastic Programming models, which are challenging from the computational point of view. Then, by looking at the problem as a multi-stage dynamic random decision process, a new deterministic approximation-based formulation is developed. The method first derives a mixed-integer non-linear model based on the concept of accessibility to all possible and available alternatives at each stage of the decision-making process. Then, to efficiently solve the problem, a new accessibility measure is defined to convert the model into the search of a shortest path throughout the stages. Extensive computational experiments are carried out on various sets of instances. We discuss and compare the results found by the resolution of plain stochastic models with those obtained by the deterministic approximation approach. Our approximation shows excellent performances both in terms of solution accuracy and computational time.

     

Bound magnetopolaron in delta GaAs quantum dot under Rashba effect

This paper presents the influence of Rashba effect on bound magnetopolaron in delta quantum dot. The unitary transformation method and the variational method of Pekar type have been used to derive the ground and first excited state energy. Due to Rashba effect, the ground and first excited states each split into two energies (spin up and down). Results show that the split up(down) energy of ground and first excited states are increasing (decreasing) function of wave vector; the spin splitting of the ground and first excited states are decreasing function of the delta parameter and the increasing function of Rashba parameter. It has also be seen that the splitting of energies levels occur around the value $q=0$. The density of probability has its minimum value at the center of the dot while it is maximal at the boundary of the dot. The decoherence has been studied through the Shannon entropy and the results show increase of entropy with time, delta parameter K, and cyclotron frequency ω_c. It also suggests a way to encrypt information and to control decoherence.     

Catalytic Detection of Iodide at Cationic Kaolinite Modified Gold Electrode in Presence of Thiosulfate

A gold electrode modified by a thin film of cationic kaolinite was used for the electrochemical detection of iodide in aqueous solution in the presence of thiosulfate. At gold electrode, iodide showed two electrochemical systems in the potential range explored (0.10 V to 0.85 V). The pH‐independent system was assigned to the redox couple I₂/I^? and the pH‐dependent one assigned to the redox couple HIO/ . For increased amount of thiosulfate the oxidation peak intensity of the first system increases sharply followed by the gradual decrease of the reduction peak, due to the chemical reaction between thiosulfate and oxidized iodide. The calibration curve in the presence of excess thiosulfate resulted in an increase of the sensitivity by a factor of 7. To improve this sensitivity, the bare gold electrode was coated by a thin film of an anionic exchanger kaolinite, obtained by grafting the ionic liquid (1‐(2‐hydroxyethyl)‐4‐(tert‐butyl) pyridinium chloride). Accumulation‐detection method yielded a spectacular increase of the oxidation peak current of iodide in the presence of thiosulfate ions. At optimized experimental conditions, a sensitivity of 2.45 μA.μM^?1 and a detection limit of 65 nM were obtained. The method was successfully applied for total iodine determination in povidone?iodine formulation.     

Effects of Shannon entropy and electric field on polaron in RbCl triangular quantum dot

In this paper, the time evolution of the quantum mechanical state of a polaron is examined using the Pekar type variational method on the condition of the electric-LO-phonon strong-coupling and polar angle in RbCl triangular quantum dot. We obtain the eigenenergies, and the eigenfunctions of the ground state, and the first excited state respectively. This system in a quantum dot can be treated as a two-level quantum system qubit and the numerical calculations are performed.The effects of Shannon entropy and electric field on the polaron in the RbCl triangular quantum dot are also studied.
