Solving the nonlinear equations for one-dimensional nano-sized model including Rydberg and Varshni potentials and Casimir force using the decomposition method

The Adomian decomposition method has been applied to solve the nonlinear equations from the one-dimensional model for a nano-sized-oscillator. The model includes Rydberg and Varshni potentials as well as Casimir force with fractional damping. New approximate solution of the equations of motion for anharmonic vibrations of a nano-sized oscillator with the elastic force deriving from the Rydberg and Varshni potentials has been obtained.     

Population dynamics of the ions SVI, ClVII and ArVIII interacting with solid surfaces

We used the recently developed time-symmetrized, two-state vector model to investigate the intermediate stages of the electron capture into the Rydberg states (n_A?1,l_A=0−3, m_A=0) of multiply charged ions SVI, ClVII and ArVIII, with polarized core charges Z=6, 7 and 8, respectively, escaping solid surfaces at low velocities. Within the framework of the model, the two wave functions are used to describe the system at intermediate stages; the corresponding probabilities and rates are based on the calculation of the mixed flux. The simple analytical formulae derived for the neutralization rates enable us to analyze the localization of the process and to calculate the neutralization distances. In the pointlike core approximation, the rates are comparable with the available coupled-angular-mode results. The neutralization distances follow the classical predictions for all considered Rydberg states with exception of the states with critical quantum numbers n_A=n_c, mainly populated via tunneling mechanism; the corresponding values are larger than it is predicted by the classical overbarrier model. Inclusion of core polarization significantly reduces the neutralization distances.     

Photoionization,Structures, and Energetics of Na-Doped Formic Acid–Water Clusters

The influence of formic acid on water cluster aggregation has been investigated experimentally by mass spectrometry and tunable UV laser ionization applied to Na-doped clusters formed in the supersonic expansion of water vapors seeded with formic acid (FA) as well as theoretically using high level quantum chemistry methods. The mass spectra of Na−FA(H₂O)_n clusters show an enlarging of mass distribution toward heavier clusters with respect to the Na−(H₂O)_n clusters, suggesting similar mass distribution in neutral clusters and an influence of formic acid in water aggregation. Density functional theory and coupled-cluster type (DLPNO-CCSD(T)) calculations have been used to calculate structures and energetics of neutral and ionized Na−FA(H₂O)_n as well as neutral FA(H₂O)_n. Na-doped clusters are characterized by very stable geometries. The theoretical adiabatic ionization potential values match pretty well the measured appearance energies and the calculated first six electronic excited states show Rydberg-type characters, indicating possible autoionization contributions in the mass spectra. Finally, theoretical calculations on neutral FA(H₂O)_n clusters show the possibility of similarly stable structures in small clusters containing up to n=4–5 water molecules, where FA interacts significantly with waters. This suggests that FA can compete with water molecules in the starting stage of the aggregation process, by forming stable nucleation seed.     

Controlled-NOT Gate Based on the Rydberg States of Surface Electrons

Due to the long coherence time and efficient manipulation, the surface electron (SE) provides a perfect 2D platform for quantum computation and quantum simulation. In this work, a theoretical scheme to realize the controlled-NOT gate is proposed, where the two-qubit system is encoded on the four-level Rydberg structure of SE. The state transfer is achieved by a three-level structure with an intermediate level. By simultaneously driving the SE with two external electromagnetic fields, the dark state in the electromagnetically induced transparency effect is exploited to suppress the population of the most dissipative state and increase the robustness against dissipation. The fidelity of the scheme is 0.9989 with experimentally achievable parameters.
