Realization of Quantum Maxwell's Demon with Solid-State Spins

We report experimental realization of a quantum version of Maxwell's demon using solid state spins where the information acquiring and feedback operations by the demon are achieved through conditional quantum gates.A unique feature of this implementation is that the demon can start in a quantum superposition state or in an entangled state with an ancilla observer. Through quantum state tomography, we measure the entropy in the system, demon, and the ancilla, showing the influence of coherence and entanglement on the result. A quantum implementation of Maxwell's demon adds more controllability to this paradoxical thermal machine and may find applications in quantum thermodynamics involving microscopic systems.     

Casimir-Polder力对左手材料板附近的原子的动力学作用

本文研究了初始处于激发态的两能级原子在左手材料附近运动时Casimir-Polder力对原子动力学的影响. 左手材料有两个的作用: 一是在距离界面波长区域内提供了较强的Casimir-Polder共振力, 二是在这一范围原子的自发辐射受到抑制, 延长了作用时间. 这两种效应使得依靠原子自发辐射这一过程中的Casimir-Polder力能对原子的运动学产生影响, 并将一定初速度的原子排斥远离界面. 由于原子偶极矩的取向会影响Casimir-Polder力的性质, 因此对于某些初始条件(初速度和初始位置), 不同偶极矩取向的原子有不同的运动学结果, 会被吸引到界面或反射出去, 从而对具有不同偶极矩方向的原子进行筛选. 当然由于Casimir-Polder力很小, 能够反射的初速度也很小, 但是已经可以反抗极低温的热涨落, 我们的理论预估值约为15 μupK. 如果和其他约束手段同时作用, 便能对原子的动力学产生更为有利的控制.     

自由摆的平板控制系统设计

为了实现对基于自由摆的平板的控制,建立了基于自由摆的平板控制系统.首先分析平板的控制转角与自由摆转角的关系,推导出关系式,再对控制单元、反馈单元进行分析比较给出方案,采用32位LPC2138(ARM7)处理器为平板控制系统的中央控制单元,实现由高精度电位器测量出摆动角度后由步进电机控制的平板在周期摆动中做相应反馈调整,然后在现有器件的基础上编制出控制软件,在设备上进行调试,最后对系统的精度进行分析并进行实际测量.测量结果表明激光笔在摆动中照射在靶板上的光斑偏离基准线最大0.89cm,基本满足对平板的控制要求.

Coherent Scattering of Light by Bose-Einstein Condensation in a Tight Confinement

We have observed strong scattering of a probe light by dilute Bose-Einstein condensate （BEC） ^87Rb gas in a tight magnetic trap. The scattering light forms fringes at the image plane. It is found that we can infer the real size of the condensation and the number of the atoms by modelling the imaging system. We present a quantitative calculation of light scattering by the condensed atoms. The calculation shows that the experimental results agree well with the prediction of the generalized diffraction theory, and thus we can directly observe the phase transition of BEC in a tight trap.     

Suprathreshold Stochastic Resonance in a Single Comparator

Stochastic resonance usually appears when stimulus is too weak to overcome barriers in a nonlinear system. Unusually, we demonstrate that in a simple competitor as a prototype model, stochastic resonance can still occur when the stimulus is predominantly suprathreshold. This result provides new knowledge for understanding of mechanism underlying information process in biological systems and aIso finds appfications in signal processing.     

Modified Woods-Saxon Potential for Heavy-Ion Fusion Reaction

A modified Woods-Saxon （MWS） potential is proposed for describing nucleus-nucleus interaction based on the Skyrme energy-density functional approach. Fusion barriers for a large number of fusion reactions from light to heavy systems can be described well with this potential. The suitable incident energies for fusion reactions leading to superheavy nuclei are also explored. It seems to us that the MWS potential is useful for selecting the suitable incident energies for fusion reactions for producing super-heavy nuclei.
