Correlation of grain boundary extra free volume with vacancy and solute segregation at grain boundaries: a case study for Al

Grain boundary extra free volume (GB EFV) can be considered as fundamental microstructural parameter for polycrystalline or nano-crystalline materials. Here, we present a systematic first principles study on a group of representative symmetric tilt grain boundaries of Al with various EFVs subjected to vacancy formation and Mg segregation. All grain boundaries were constructed using the coincident site lattice (CSL) and the structural unit (SU) models. It was found that the SU model is superior to the CSL in describing FCC-Al GBs, the same as we previously revealed for BCC-Fe. The predicted relation between GB misorientation angle and EFV, and the predicted EFV criteria for a stable GB, both agree with available experimental observations. Vacancy formation and Mg segregation show stronger preference to those GBs with high EFV values, due to the resultant high levels of atomic disorder. These findings not only provide a new, atomistic perspective on the significance of EFV, but also suggest a viable means of predicting GB properties based on direct experimental characterisation of GB EFVs.     

An analytical approach for studying the resonant states in mesoscopic devices using the phase coherence of electron waves

Based on the phase coherence of electron waves, an analytical method has been proposed to approach the resonant states in mesoscopic devices. The proposed method has been demonstrated that it is valid in the studies of the resonant states in quantum well structures and the ballistic transport in ultrathin MOS devices. The resonant states in mesoscopic devices calculated from the proposed method agree well with those from the quantum mechanical method. The results show that the proposed method is valid in simplifying some quantum issues in mesoscopic devices.

Photothermal detection of surface states in amorphous silicon films

A new method for the determination of surface states in amorphous silicon films is proposed. The method is based on the observation of enhancement of the interference fringe amplitude in photothermal deflection spectra, due to the presence of surface states.A theoretical approach is presented, together with the experimental results and an evaluation of the density of surface states. The method proves to be adequate, in most cases, to yield results in good agreement with those reported in literature.     

Single-shot readout of electron spins in a semiconductor quantum dot

We report on a method for single-shot readout of spin states in a semiconductor quantum dot that is robust against charge noise and can be used even when the electron temperature exceeds the energy splitting between the states. The spin states are first correlated to different charge states using a spin dependence of the tunnel rates. A subsequent fast measurement of the charge on the dot then reveals the original spin state. The method is analyzed theoretically, and compared to a previously used method. We experimentally demonstrate the method by performing readout of the two-electron spin states, achieving a single-shot visibility of more than 80%. We find very long triplet-to-singlet relaxation times (up to several milliseconds), with a strong dependence on in-plane magnetic field.     

Quasi diabatic CASSCF state functions

A new method to determine quasi diabatic (QD) CASSCF states is presented. The adiabatic states are subjected to a unitary transformation resulting from diagonalization of a state-selection operator. The latter is constructed from the overlap of the adiabatic states with a suitable set of reference states. The multi-state (MS) CASPT2 method is used to account for the dynamical correlation effects in an approach where the QD-CASSCF wave functions are used as reference states. The procedure is applied to avoided crossings in excited states of BeH, LiO and ozone. The advantages of the proposed formulation are discussed.

Delta-Davidson method for interior eigenproblem in many-spin systems

Many numerical methods,such as tensor network approaches including density matrix renormalization group calculations,have been developed to calculate the extreme/ground states of quantum many-body systems.However,little attention has been paid to the central states,which are exponentially close to each other in terms of system size.We propose a delta-Davidson(DELDAV)method to efficiently find such interior(including the central)states in many-spin systems.The DELDAV method utilizes a delta filter in Chebyshev polynomial expansion combined with subspace diagonalization to overcome the nearly degenerate problem.Numerical experiments on Ising spin chain and spin glass shards show the correctness,efficiency,and robustness of the proposed method in finding the interior states as well as the ground states.The sought interior states may be employed to identify many-body localization phase,quantum chaos,and extremely long-time dynamical structure.

One-dimensional method of investigating the localized states in armchair graphene-like nanoribbons with defects

In this paper we propose a type of new analytical method to investigate the localized states in the armchair graphenelike nanoribbons. The method is based on the tight-binding model and with a standing wave assumption. The system of armchair graphene-like nanoribbons includes the armchair supercells with arbitrary elongation-type line defects and the semi-infinite nanoribbons. With this method, we analyze many interesting localized states near the line defects in the graphene and boron-nitride nanoribbons. We also derive the analytical expressions and the criteria for the localized states in the semi-infinite nanoribbons.     

Engineering of Schrödinger cat states by a sequence of displacements and photon additions or subtractions

A method to generate Schrödinger cat states in free propagating optical fields based on the use of displaced states (or displacement operators) is developed. Some optical schemes with photon-added coherent states are studied. The schemes are modifications of the general method based on a sequence of displacements and photon additions or subtractions adjusted to generate Schrödinger cat states of a larger size. The effects of detection inefficiency are taken into account.     

Thermodynamic Properties of Non-equilibrium States in Quantum Field Theory

Within the framework of relativistic quantum field theory, a novel method is established which allows for distinguishing non-equilibrium states admitting locally a thermodynamic interpretation. The basic idea is to compare these states with global equilibrium states (KMS states) by means of local thermal observables. With the help of such observables, the states can be ordered into classes of increasing local thermal stability. Moreover, it is possible to identify states exhibiting certain specific thermal properties of interest, such as a definite local temperature or entropy density. The method is illustrated in a simple model describing the spatio-temporal evolution of a “big heat bang.”     

Multi-agent controlled teleportation of multi-qubit quantum information via two-step protocol

Utilizing both the general quantum teleportation and the two-step protocol, a new method is presented by which multi-qubit quantum information can be teleported in a much easier way from a sender Alice to a receiver Bob via the control of many agents in a network than by Yang et al＇s method. In this method, only all the agents collaborate with Bob can the unknown states in Alice＇s qubits be fully reconstructed in Bob＇s qubits. Comparisons between the method and Yang et al＇s method are made. Results show that, in this method, the preparation difficulty of initial states and the identification difficulty of entangled states are considerably reduced, new method is more feasible in technique, and Hadamard operations are not needed at all.     

Experimental study of highly excited even-parity bound states of the Sm atom

In this work, a three-step autoionization detection method and direct photoionization detection method are employed to measure the highly excited even-parity states of the Sm atom in the energy region between 36360~cm^-1 and 40800~cm^-1. Comparisons between the results from the two detection techniques enable us to discriminate the Rydberg states from the valence states in the same energy region with the information of level energies, possible J values and their relative intensities. Furthermore, in the experiment two different excitation schemes are designed to obtain the spectra of highly excited even-parity states of the Sm atom. With a detailed analysis of the experimental data, this work not only confirms the results about many spectral data from the literature with different excitation schemes, but also reports new spectral data on 29 Rydberg states and 23 valence states.

Boundary states in c=−2 logarithmic conformal field theory

Starting from first principles, a constructive method is presented to obtain boundary states in conformal field theory. It is demonstrated that this method is well suited to compute the boundary states of logarithmic conformal field theories. By studying the logarithmic conformal field theory with central charge c=−2 in detail, we show that our method leads to consistent results. In particular, it allows to define boundary states corresponding to both, indecomposable representations as well as their irreducible subrepresentations.     

Optimal subsystem approach to multi-qubit quantum state discrimination and experimental investigation

Quantum computing is a significant computing capability which is superior to classical computing because of its superposition feature. Distinguishing several quantum states from quantum algorithm outputs is often a vital computational task. In most cases, the quantum states tend to be non-orthogonal due to superposition; quantum mechanics has proved that perfect outcomes could not be achieved by measurements, forcing repetitive measurement. Hence, it is important to determine the optimum measuring method which requires fewer repetitions and a lower error rate. However, extending current measurement approaches mainly aiming at quantum cryptography to multi-qubit situations for quantum computing confronts challenges, such as conducting global operations which has considerable costs in the experimental realm. Therefore, in this study, we have proposed an optimum subsystem method to avoid these difficulties. We have provided an analysis of the comparison between the reduced subsystem method and the global minimum error method for two-qubit problems; the conclusions have been verified experimentally. The results showed that the subsystem method could effectively discriminate non-orthogonal two-qubit states, such as separable states, entangled pure states, and mixed states; the cost of the experimental process had been significantly reduced, in most circumstances, with acceptable error rate. We believe the optimal subsystem method is the most valuable and promising approach for multi-qubit quantum computing applications.
