TrFO技术分析

为充分利用空中接口和无线接入网的带宽资源，WCDMA采用了AMR压缩语音编码，其最大编码速率为12.2kbit／s，在R99阶段，核心网电路域基于TDM承载方式，语音采用64kbit／s的PCM编码，因此R99MSC一个很重要的功能即具备语音编解码处理功能，但是语音编解码容易降低话音质量，特别是对于移动用户之间的呼叫，需要进行两次语音编解码。相反，如果不采用编解码既有助于提升话音质量，还可节省网络的带宽。

New Laser-Cooling Technique from MIT

Using a laser-cooling technique that could one day allow scientists to observe quantum behavior in large objects, MIT researchers have cooled a coin-sized object to within one degree of absolute zero.     

利用Cluster State实现远程态制备

量子态是量子信息的载体，因此，从某种意义上说，量子信息过程就是量子态的传递和操作的过程。量子态的远程制备包括量子隐形传态（Telepotation）和远程态制备（Remote State Preparation（RSP））。远程态制备是一种利用纠缠和经典通讯传输量子态的简单方法，相比较量子态telepotation耗费的资源更少（1 ebit and 1 cbit）。Cluster State是一种特殊的量子态，在量子计算方案中有着广泛的应用。我们实验上利用SPDC产生的偏振纠缠双光子，加入时间比特，构造出Cluster State，并利用Cluster State实现了量子态的远程制备。     

Field Quantization and Spontaneous Emission in Left-handed Material

Recently, research on left-handed materials （LHMs） has attracted considerable attentions. The LHMs are a kind of man-made metameterials which have negative permittivity and negative permeability. These metameterials have many novel properties such as inverse light pressure, and reverse Doppler effect, which lead to many potential applications of LHMs such as superlenses which, in principle, can achieve arbitrary subwavelength resolution. However, though the properties mentioned above are seen to be classical, the quantum phenomena in LHMs have also attracted attentions such as the modified spontaneous emission of atoms in LHME.     

The Second Law of Thermodynamic in Quantum System

The second law of thermodynamics is one of the most fundamental and for-reaching laws of physics. It teaches us that when a closed system undergoes a thermodynamic process the entropy of the system never decreases; it increases, or at least remains constant. If the entropy increases the thermodynamic process is irreversible, otherwise it is reversible. Only ideal thermal process is reversible. In classical world a great number of facts have proved the second law is true. But in quantum world since the quantum coherence and correlations exist we are not sure the second law is still true, at least in principle. This is because that： 1. on the microscopic level the irreversibility is conflict with the reversibility of all fundamental physical laws ; 2. there are not enough evidences to show it is true in quantum world.     

铁路提速与弯道向心力

 2004年4月,全国铁路实现了自1994年以来的第五次大面积提速,时速160千米及其以上的线路达到7700千米。今年还将实施第六次大面积提速,部分提速干线列车时速可以提高到200千米,相当于F1赛车多数情况下的平均速度。速度,就是效益,就是竞争力,是交通运输现代化最重要的表现。发展高速铁路是当今世界各国铁路交通发展的潮流与主导趋势。但是制约铁路提速的众多因素中,最重要的一条竟是“弯道”。据郑州铁路局报道:为了列车的安全和平稳,需对7000多千米铁路线上的弯道一一进行调整,将小半径曲线线路全部改造成大半径曲线或直线线路,同时调高曲线外轨。
