Conformal algebra and multipoint correlation functions in 2D statistical models

Based on the conformal algebra approach, a general technique is given for the calculation of multipoint correlation functions in 2D statistical models at the critical point. Particular conformal operator algebras are found for operators of the 2D q-component Potts model (1 < q < 4), and the O(N) model (0 < N < 2) at the critical point. A number of four-point correlation functions are calculated for these models.

Synthesis and Properties of 4,6-Dimethyl-5-pentyl-2-thioxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile and 3-Amino-4,6-dimethyl-5-pentylthieno[2,3-b]pyridines

The reaction of 3-pentylpentane-2,4-dione with cyanothioacetamide afforded 4,6-dimethyl-5-pentyl-2-thioxo-1,2-dihydropyridine-3-carbonitrile. Alkylation of the latter led to the formation of 2-alkylsulfanyl-4,6-dimethyl-5-pentylpyridine-3-carbonitriles or 3-amino-4,6-dimethyl-5-pentylthieno[2,3-b]pyridines, depending on the alkylating agent and reaction conditions. The structures of the key compounds were proved by 2D NMR spectroscopy and X-ray analysis. Biological activity of the synthesized compounds was evaluated in silico. Some compounds were experimentally found to stimulate growth of sunflower seedlings.

     

Freezing coherent field growth in a cavity by the quantum zeno effect

We have frozen the coherent evolution of a field in a cavity by repeated measurements of its photon number. We use circular Rydberg atoms dispersively coupled to the cavity mode for an absorption-free photon counting. These measurements inhibit the growth of a field injected in the cavity by a classical source. This manifestation of the quantum Zeno effect illustrates the backaction of the photon number determination onto the field phase. The residual growth of the field can be seen as a random walk of its amplitude in the two-dimensional phase space. This experiment sheds light onto the measurement process and opens perspectives for active quantum feedback.

Morpholinium 3-cyano-4-methyl-6-oxo-1,6-dihydropyridine-2-thiolate upon treatment with primary amines and a formaldehyde excess under mild conditions produces bis(pyrido[2,1-b][1,3,5]thiadiazin-7-yl)methane derivatives in good yields (67–87%).     

Neutral atom quantum register

We demonstrate the realization of a quantum register using a string of single neutral atoms which are trapped in an optical dipole trap. The atoms are selectively and coherently manipulated in a magnetic field gradient using microwave radiation. Our addressing scheme operates with a high spatial resolution, and qubit rotations on individual atoms are performed with 99% contrast. In a final readout operation we analyze each individual atomic state. Finally, we have measured the coherence time and identified the predominant dephasing mechanism for our register.
