The importance of the fluctuating force for dissipative tunneling,examplified in a time-dependent picture

We exploit a time-dependent picture to compare the penetrability obtained from a multidimensional Schrödinger equation with the one from a Fokker-Planck equation. The result for the latter one is manifestly different. The origin of this difference is studied and traced back to the fluctuating force which accompanies dissipation, and which is present for open systems.     

Systematische Untersuchungen zum Optischen Modell der Deuteronenstreuung an24,26Mg und28,30Si

Differential cross sections for 10 MeV deuterons, elastically scattered from^24,26Mg and^28,30Si have been measured. The scattering data have been analysed systematically in the framework of the optical model. It was found, that an uniform set of parameters, which is able to reproduce reasonably the angular distributions for the four nuclei, does not exist. Both the Mg distributions as well as both the Si distributions, however, can be described well with one set of parameters, respectively.     

Collective emittance exchange with linear space charge forces and linear coupling

We show that pronounced collective nonlinear behavior is present in a beam with linear coupling and space charge as described by the complete second order moment equations. The collective effects result in a shifted and broadened resonance condition as well as saturation effects in the emittance transfer. For slow stop-band crossing either the beam evolves along a skewed matched solution with full emittance exchange or the exchange is hindered by collective space charge effects, depending on the emittance ratio and direction of crossing.     

Demonstration of an optical quantum controlled-NOT gate without path interference

We report the first experimental demonstration of an optical quantum controlled-NOT gate without any path interference, where the two interacting path interferometers of the original proposals have been replaced by three partially polarizing beam splitters with suitable polarization dependent transmittance and reflectance. The performance of the device is evaluated using a recently proposed method, by which the quantum process fidelity and the entanglement capability can be estimated from the 32 measurement results of two classical truth tables, significantly less than the 256 measurement results required for full quantum tomography.     

An optimised split-and-recombine micro-mixer with uniform chaotic mixing

A second generation micro-mixer, being a further optimised version of a first prototype, relying on the consequent utilisation of the split-and-recombine principle is presented. We show that the mixing can be characterized by a positive finite-time Lyapunov exponent although being highly regular and uniform. Using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) we investigate the mixing performance for Reynolds numbers in the range of about 1 to about 100. In particular for low Reynolds numbers (Re < 15) the CFD results predict an almost ideal multi-lamination. Thus, the developed mixer is especially suited for efficient mixing of highly viscous fluids. Furthermore, the numerical results are experimentally validated by investigations of mixing of water-glycerol solutions. The experimental results are found to be in excellent agreement with the numerical data and prove the high mixing efficiency.
