Entangled States Based on Two Coherent States 3π/2 out of Phase

Entangled states based on two coherent states 3π/2 out of phase with each other, i.e. ｜α〉 and e^iФ｜-iα〉, as well as on a special state with a relative phase Ф = ｜α｜^2, are constructed. By analysing the amount of entanglement it is evident that entangled states based on this special state can be used as an excellent resource for quantum teleportation. It is also revealed that these entangled states possess some nonclassical features.     

Modified Householder iterative method free from second derivatives for nonlinear equations

In this paper, we suggest and analyze a new two-step predictor–corrector type iterative method free from second derivatives for solving nonlinear equations of the type f(x)=0. This new method includes the two-step Newton method as a special case. We prove that the new iterative method is of fourth-order. Several examples are given to illustrate the efficiency of this new method and its comparison with other iterative methods. This method can be considered as a significant improvement of the Newton method and its variant forms.     

Salt effects in the aqueous alkaline hydrolysis of N-hydroxyphthalimide. Kinetic evidence for the ion-pair formation

The effects of the concentrations of LiCl, NaCl, KCl, CsCl, Na₂CO₃, BaCl₂, and Me₄NCl on the rates of reactions of hydroxide ion with ionized N-hydroxyphthalimide (NHP) at 30°C and in a H₂O–MeCN solvent containing 98%, v/v, H₂O reveal a nonlinear increase in observed rate constants with increase in salt concentrations. The observed rate constants are highly sensitive to the valence state of cations and almost insensitive to the valence state of anions of the salts. These observations are explained in terms of ion-pair formation between cations and NHP^?.     

Large signal performance of micromachined silicon inductive microphones

A mathematical model for the open-circuit output voltage of a micromachined silicon inductive microphone is presented. The model, basically a sine-series function, can easily yield closed-form expressions for the amplitudes of the output components resulting from a multisinusoidal input acoustic pressure. The special case of an equal-amplitude two-tone acoustic pressure input is considered in detail. The results show that, the microphone generates both even and odd-order harmonic and intermodulation products.     

Empirical model for the current-voltage characteristic of resonant-tunneling devices
