Implementing a Two-Photon Three-Degrees-of-Freedom Hyper-Parallel Controlled Phase Flip Gate Through Cavity-Assisted Interactions

Hyper-parallel quantum information processing is a promising and beneficial research field. Herein, a method to implement a hyper-parallel controlled-phase-flip (hyper-CPF) gate for frequency-, spatial-, and time-bin-encoded qubits by coupling flying photons to trapped nitrogen vacancy (NV) defect centers is presented. The scheme, which differs from their conventional parallel counterparts, is specifically advantageous in decreasing against the dissipate noise, increasing the quantum channel capacity, and reducing the quantum resource overhead. The gate qubits with frequency, spatial, and time-bin degrees of freedom (DOF) are immune to quantum decoherence in optical fibers, whereas the polarization photons are easily disturbed by the ambient noise.     

Effect of External Acidity of Mordenite-Supported Catalysts on the 2,2-Dimethylbutane Content in Hydroisomerization Products of n-Hexane

We have used potentiometric titration with tetrabutylammonium hydroxide to determine the acid center content on the outer surface of dealuminated natural and synthetic mordenites. We have established a symbatic relationship between the 2,2-dimethylbutane content in the hydroisomerization products of n-hexane on dealuminated palladium-containing mordenites and the number of their external acid centers. We have studied the possibility of partial deactivation of such centers during ion-exchange deposition of palladium on the catalysts, using a tetraammine palladium solution.

Histidine in enzyme active centers.

The presence of histidine in the active center of an enzyme can be demonstrated by kinetic measurements, chemical modification, NMR spectroscopy or X-ray structure analysis. Histidine is the only naturally occurring amino acid to contain an imidazole residue as a side chain. The role of histidine in enzyme catalysis depends, inter alia, upon the special features of the imidazole residue: it thus tends to form hydrogen bonds, combines donor and acceptor properties and can take part in either nucleophilic or base catalysis. In some of these enzymes the position of each atom is known; however, the theories as to how the catalysis proceeds at a molecular level are controversial.     

Gas chromatographic and mass spectrometric characterization of isomeric alkylthiophenes (C20) and their occurrence in deep sea sediments

Six isomeric C₂₀ alkylthiophenes were synthesized in order to prove the occurrence of such compounds in various deep sea sediments. As expected from the analogy with the corresponding saturated hydrocarbons, 2- and 3-heptadecylthiophene have considerably longer relative retention times than the isomeric isoprenoid compounds, i.e. 2- and 3-(4,8,12-trimethyltridecyl)thiophene and 3- and 4-methyl-2-(3,7,11-trimethyldodecyl)thiophene. Covats retention indices for all compounds were determined by isothermal analysis at 190°C on two different silicone-coated capillary columns. The mass spectra of the monoalkylated thiophenes show a base peak at m/z 98 corresponding to a Mcafferty rearrangement product in the case of the 3-substituted isomers, whereas a simple benzylic cleavage dominates in the mass spectra of 2-alkylthiophenes. 4-Methyl-2-(3,7,11-trimethylodecy)thiophene is an exception from this simple rule because also shows the McLafferty rearrangement as dominant fragmentation. Two of the isoprenoid thiophenes are prominent compounds in various deep sea sediments.     

Estimating the complexity of a class of path-following methods for solving linear programs by curvature integrals

In this paper we study a particular class of primal-dual path-following methods which try to follow a trajectory of interior feasible solutions in primal-dual space toward an optimal solution to the primal and dual problem. The methods investigated are so-called first-order methods: each iteration consists of a long step along the tangent of the trajectory, followed by explicit recentering steps to get close to the trajectory again. It is shown that the complexity of these methods, which can be measured by the number of points close to the trajectory which have to be computed in order to achieve a desired gain in accuracy, is bounded by an integral along the trajectory. The integrand is a suitably weighted measure of the second derivative of the trajectory with respect to a distinguished path parameter, so the integral may be loosely called a curvature integral.     

A global Newton method II: Analytic centers

This paper modifies the convergence conditions of a back-tracking global Newton method announced in Goldstein (1991), making them sharper and easier to apply. A new version of the Kantorovich inequalities is presented that is simple to state and prove. An application is made to the centering problem for polytopes. Based on an idea of Ye (1989), an algorithm is given for the feasibility problem of linear inequalities.This paper is dedicated to Phil Wolfe on the occasion of his 65th birthday.     

Interaction of Water and Methanol Molecules with the Surface of Carbonaceous Materials According to Gas Chromatographic Data

We have used gas chromatography to study the interaction of water and methanol molecules with active hydrophilic centers on the surface of thermally expanded graphite and graphitized thermal carbon black. We have determined the concentration of carboxyl and phenol hydroxyl groups on the surface of the sorbents and the heats of adsorption for adsorption of the studied substances on these groups. We have shown that water molecules are adsorbed as clusters on the hydrophilic centers of the studied sorbents at very low relative pressures, with n = 2 molecules in the cluster.

运用相对论性的密度泛函离散变分(DV-Xα)方法模拟计算PbMoO₄晶体中可能存在的F型色心的电子结构.结果表明,F,F⁺心在PbMoO₄晶体的禁带中引入了施主能级,其光学跃迁能分别是2.141,2.186 eV,即F,F⁺心能分别引起PMO晶体中581,567 nm的吸收,该吸收与PbMoO₄晶体中580 nm的吸收峰对应.因此,可推断F型色心能引起PMO晶体中由光色效应引起的580 nm吸收.
