Non-Destructive Discrimination of arbitrary set of orthogonal quantum states by NMR using Quantum Phase Estimation
An algorithm based on quantum phase estimation, which discriminates quantum
states nondestructively within a set of arbitrary orthogonal states, is
described and experimentally verified by a NMR quantum information processor.
The procedure is scalable and can be applied to any set of orthogonal states.
Scalability is demonstrated through Matlab simulation
Singlet state creation and Universal quantum computation in NMR using Genetic Algorithm
Experimental implementation of a quantum algorithm requires unitary operator
decomposition. Here we treat the unitary operator decomposition as an
optimization problem and use Genetic Algorithm, a global optimization method
inspired by nature's evolutionary process for operator decomposition. As an
application, we apply this to NMR Quantum Information Processing and find a
probabilistic way of doing universal quantum computation using global hard
pulses. We also demonstrate efficient creation of singlet state (as a special
case of Bell state) directly from thermal equilibrium using an optimum sequence
of pulses
Assessment of variability in Asystasia gangetica (L.) T Anderson from the Western Ghats of Kerala, India
The variability shown by Asystasia gangetica (L.) T. Anderson has been thoroughly analyzed by considering gross and micromorphology. The species shows variability in flower color and leaf shape among the accessions collected from different geographical locations. However, the microspore sculpturing was found to be uniform and the seed surface architecture showed variation in one of the accessions as well as A. gangetica var. krishnae
Anomalous Raman scattering from phonons and electrons of superconducting FeSe
We report interesting anomalies in the temperature dependent Raman spectra of
FeSe measured from 3K to 300K in the spectral range from 60 to 1800
cm and determine their origin using complementary first-principles
density functional calculations. A phonon mode near 100 cm exhibits a
sharp increase by 5% in frequency below a temperature T ( 100
K) attributed to strong spin-phonon coupling and onset of short-range
antiferromagnetic order. In addition, two high frequency modes are observed at
1350 cm and 1600 cm, attributed to electronic Raman scattering
from ()to / -orbitals of Fe.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Metallic monoclinic phase in VO induced by electrochemical gating: in-situ Raman study
We report in-situ Raman scattering studies of electrochemically top gated
VO thin film to address metal-insulator transition (MIT) under gating. The
room temperature monoclinic insulating phase goes to metallic state at a gate
voltage of 2.6 V. However, the number of Raman modes do not change with
electrolyte gating showing that the metallic phase is still monoclinic. The
high frequency Raman mode A(7) near 616 cm ascribed to V-O vibration
of bond length 2.06 \AA~ in VO octahedra hardens with increasing gate
voltage and the B(3) mode near 654 cm softens. This shows that the
distortion of the VO octahedra in the monoclinic phase decreases with
gating. The time dependent Raman data at fixed gate voltages of 1 V (for 50
minute, showing enhancement of conductivity by a factor of 50) and 2 V (for 130
minute, showing further increase in conductivity by a factor of 5) show similar
changes in high frequency Raman modes A(7) and B(3) as observed in
gating. This slow change in conductance together with Raman frequency changes
show that the governing mechanism for metalization is more likely to the
diffusion controlled oxygen vacancy formation due to the applied electric
field.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
