Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation based on nitrogen-vacancy centers

正Because of quantum superposition,quantum computation can solve many problems,such as factoring large integers[1]and searching unsorted databases[2,3],much faster than classical computation.To realize practical quantum computation and then gain the desired advantages,a universal set of quantum gates with sufficiently high fidelities are needed.However,various inevitable errors reduce the gate fidelities and finally collapse the computation results,which makes the realizations of quantum computation very challenging.To relax

Quest towards ultimate performance in superconducting nanowire single photon detectors

正In 2007,superconducting nanowire single photon detectors(SSPD or SNSPD)[1]made an outstanding impact in the field of quantum information technology by demonstrating quantum key distribution(QKD)over a 200-km optical fiber with a 42-dB optical loss using a practical SNSPD system[2].This successful demonstration was realized thanks to its extremely     

Reverse coherent information and its properties

正Channel capacity is a core problem in information theory[1,2].The capacity of a classical channel is essentially characterized by maximum transmission rate of classical information[1].However,in quantum information theory,several capacities can be defined for a quantum channel based on the type of information being sent.Currently,classical capacity[3,4],entanglement-assisted classical capacity[5],quantum capacity[6,7],and private capacity[7]are used to define     

Non-equilibrium and stochasticity influence the activation process of the yeast DNA damage pathway

正Living cells are open systems that exist far away from a state of thermodynamical equilibrium.They utilize the high-grade chemical energy provided by food to produce ATP and release ADP and Pi together with heat dissipation.Living cells exist in a non-equilibrium steady state(NESS),they replicate themselves and respond to various environmental changes via     

Novel voltage signal at proximity-induced superconducting transition temperature in gold nanowires

We observed a novel voltage peak in the proximity-induced superconducting gold (Au) nanowire while cooling the sample through the superconducting transition temperature. The voltage peak turned dip during warming. The voltage peak or dip was found to originate respectively from the emergence or vanishing of the proximity-induced superconductivity in the Au nanowire. The amplitude of the voltage signal depends on the temperature scanning rate, and it cannot be detected when the temperature is changed slower than 0.03 K/min. This transient feature suggests the non-equilibrium property of the effect. Ginzburg-Landau model clarified the voltage peak by considering the emergence of Cooper pairs of relatively lower free energy in superconducting W contact and the non-equilibrium diffusion of Cooper pairs and quasiparticles.     

Spectral and Mechanistic Investigation of Oxidation of Rizatriptan by Silver Third Periodate Complex in Aqueous Alkaline Medium

The oxidation of Rizatriptan by diperiodatoargentate(III) has been studied by spectrophotometry at neutral pH. The kinetics of the reaction of Rizatriptan has been shown to principle of non-complementary oxidation steps. The initial step involves the deprotonated of the diperiodatoargentate(III) with the alkali; this rearranges during the displacement of a ligand to give free periodate and takes up another ligand monoperiodateargentate(III), combines with a substrate to endow with an intermediate complex which decomposes within a slow step to provide the final product in the following step with a first-order rate constant. The main product was identified by spot test, Fourier- transform infrared spectroscopy, Nuclear magnetic resonance and Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry spectrum. A conceivable mechanism including pre equilibrium of adducts development between the complex and reductant was planned from the kinetics study. The rate conditions got from system can clarify all exploratory phenomena, and the activation parameters alongside rate constants of the rate determining step were ascertained.
