Dielectronic Recombination of Sn^10＋ Ions and Related Satellite Spectra

Based on the multi-configuration Dirac-Fock method, theoretical calculations are carried out for the dielectronic recombination （DR） rate coefficients and the collision excitation rate coefficients of Sn^10＋ ions. It is found that the total DR rate coefficient has its maximum value between 10eV and 100eV and is greater than either the radiative recombination or three-body recombination rate coefficients （the number of free electrons per unit is 10^21 cm^3） for the ease of Te 〉 1 eV. Therefore, DR can strongly influence the ionization balance of laser produced multi-charged tin ions. The related dieleetronie satellite cannot be ignored at low temperature Te 〈 5 eV.     

Determination of Relaxation Time of a Josephson Tunnel Junction

We propose a non-stationary method to measure the energy relaxation time of Josephson tunnel junctions from microwave enhanced escape phenomena. Compared with the previous methods, our method possesses simple and accurate features. Moreover, having determined the energy relaxation time, we can further obtain the coupling strength between the microwave source and the junction by changing the microwave power.     

Permutation Matrix Method for Dense Coding Using GHZ States

We present a new method called the permutation matrix method to perform dense coding using Greenberger--Horne--Zeilinger (GHZ) states. We show that this method makes the study of dense coding systematically and regularly. It also has high potential to be realized physically.     

Symmetric Telecloning and Entanglement Distribution of Spin Quantum States

We propose a physical realization of symmetric telecloning machine for spin quantum states. The concept of area average fidelity is introduced to describe the telecloning quality. It is indicated that for certain input states this quantity may come to an enough high level to satisfy the need of quantum information processing. We also study the properties of entanglement distribution via the spin chain for arbitrary two-qubit entangled pure states as inputs and find that the decay ratio of entanglement for the output states is only determined by the parameters of spin chain and waiting time, independent of the initial input states.     

Research on Quantum Searching Algorithms Based on Phase Shifts

One iterative in Grover＇s original quantum search algorithm consists of two Hadamard-Walsh transformations, a selective amplitude inversion and a diffusion amplitude inversion. We concentrate on the relation among the probability of success of the algorithm, the phase shifts, the number of target items and the number of iterations via replacing the two amplitude inversions by phase shifts of an arbitrary φ = ψ（0 ≤, ψ≤ 27r）. Then, according to the relation we find out the optimal phase shifts when the number of iterations is given. We present a new quantum search algorithm based on the optimal phase shifts of 1.018 after 0.57π√M/N iterations. The new algorithm can obtain either a single target item or multiple target items in the search space with the probability of success at least 93.43%     

Determination of Orientations in Deformed U--U Collisions at 0.52GeV/u

The ART model is applied to study the deformed UU collision at HIRFL-CSR energy area corresponding to the high baryon density region in the QCD phase diagram. The time evolution of central baryon (energy) densities in central collisions at E_b =0.52GeV/u shows that different orientation collisions will lead to different lifetimes of high density, especially tip--tip UU collisions which have an extend lifetime for the high density phase by almost a factor of 2 compared to the body--body orientation collisions. In order to pick out the interesting tip--tip like events from a mass of random orientation collisions, we study the relation between stopping power R and impact parameter b in different orientation collisions and find that it can enhance the purity of tip--tip like events when R increases. Therefore, the high density and long lifetime events can be effectively distinguished by R selection.     

Magnetic,transport and microstructural properties of polycrystalline samples with nominal composition of La0.7Ca0.3Mn1−xVxO3 (0⩽x⩽0.2)

Polycrystalline samples with nominal composition of La_0.7Ca_0.3Mn_1−xV_xO₃ (0?x?0.2) sintered in air were investigated by ac susceptibility, dc magnetization, magnetoresistance (MR), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and differential thermal analysis (DTA) measurements. It is found that V could not substitute for Mn to form La_0.7Ca_0.3Mn_1−xV_xO₃ phase when the samples are sintered in air. The obtained samples contain several phases such as (La, Ca)Mn_1−δO₃, LaCa₃V₃O₁₂, Mn₃O₄ phases, etc. and constitute multi-phase composites. The Curie temperature T_C and spontaneous magnetization of the composites decrease, and the resistance of the composites increases as the V content increases. The addition of V may effectively improve the low-field MR response at low temperatures due to the variation in the microstructure of the composites.     

Nuclear excitation by electron capture followed by fast x-ray emission

The resonance strength of the two-step process of nuclear excitation by electron capture followed by γ decay of the nucleus can be significantly increased in highly charged ions if the resonant capture proceeds via an excited electronic state with subsequent fast x-ray emission. For fully ionized ²³⁸₉₂U and ²³²₉₀Th, the x-ray decay stabilizes the system against internal conversion of the captured electron, with an increase of both nuclear lifetimes and resonance strengths of up to two orders of magnitude compared with the case when occupied atomic orbitals prevent the x-ray de-excitation. Applications of this effect to the measurement of the not yet experimentally observed nuclear excitation by electron capture and to dense astrophysical plasmas are discussed.     

Entanglement-assisted quantum logic gates for two remote qubits

We propose a protocol to realize quantum logic gates for two remote qubits via entanglement swapping. According to the scheme of quantum repeater presented by H.-J. Briegel et al., we can complete long-distance communication and computation. Compared with previous schemes through noisy channels, our protocol can overcome the limitation that error probability scales exponentially with the length of the channel. We illustrate this protocol in cavity QED system, but the idea can also be realized in other physical systems.     

Examination of the adiabatic approximation in open systems

We examine the notion of the adiabatic approximation in open systems by applying it to closed systems. Our results shows that the notion is equivalent to the standard adiabatic approximation if the systems are initially in eigenstates, and it leads to a more general expression if the systems are in mixed states.
