Linear polarization conversion of transmitted terahertz wave with double-layer meta-grating surfaces

In this Letter, we demonstrate a linear polarization conversion of transmitted terahertz wave with double-layer meta-grating surfaces, which integrated the frequency selectivity of a split ring resonator metasurface and the polarization selectivity of a metallic grating surface. Since the double-layer can reduce the loss, and the Fabry–Perot like resonant effect between the two layers can improve the conversion efficiency, this converter can rotate the incident y-polarized terahertz wave into an x-polarized transmitted wave with relatively low loss and high efficiency. Experimental results show that an average conversion efficiency exceeding 75% from 0.25 to 0.65 THz with the highest efficiency of 90% at 0.43 THz with only-2 dB loss has been achieved.     

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.     

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.     

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.     

Ordered InAs Quantum Dots with Controllable Periods Grown on Stripe-Patterned GaAs Substrates

GaAs （001） substrates are patterned by electron beam lithography and wet chemical etching to control the nucleation of lnAs quantum dots （QDs）. InAs dots are grown on the stripe-patterned substrates by solid source molecular beam epitaxy. A thick buffer layer is deposited on the strip pattern before the deposition of InAs. To enhance the surface diffusion length of the In atoms, InAs is deposited with low growth rate and low As pressure. The AFM images show that distinct one-dimensionally ordered InAs QDs with homogeneous size distribution are created, and the QDs preferentiMly nucleate along the trench. With the increasing amount of deposited InAs and the spacing of the trenches, a number of QDs are formed beside the trenches. The distribution of additional QDs is long-range ordered, always along the trenchs rather than across the spacing regions.

为改善海洋与水声环境预报质量,针对常规观测成本高、资料利用率低等问题,将适应性观测方法应用于海洋声学领域。结合海洋-声学耦合模式与集合卡尔曼转换敏感区诊断方法,以东中国海宫古海峡北部区域为验证区,计算并分析不同条件下海洋环境敏感区与声学敏感区分布,通过观测系统模拟试验验证适应性观测对验证区预报的提升效果。结果表明,两种敏感区位置随时间间隔增加均向验证区上游移动,海洋环境敏感区相比于声学敏感区分布更为集中,且平移特征更明显;对海洋环境敏感区和声学敏感区添加适应性观测均能提升海洋与水声环境的预报质量,提升效果随时间间隔增加而减小,在某种类型敏感区的适应性观测对相对应参数的预报质量提升效果优于对其他类型敏感区进行观测的效果。
