Local Regulation of Arterial Tone: an Insight into Wall Dynamics Using Mathematical Models
This paper was presented at the 4th Micro and Nano Flows Conference (MNF2014), which was held at University College, London, UK. The conference was organised by Brunel University and supported by the Italian Union of Thermofluiddynamics, IPEM, the Process Intensification Network, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Heat Transfer Society, HEXAG - the Heat Exchange Action Group, and the Energy Institute, ASME Press, LCN London Centre for Nanotechnology, UCL University College London, UCL Engineering, the International NanoScience Community, www.nanopaprika.eu.We present herein a first attempt to integrate large and small scale phenomena within an image-based computational domain. The aim of the present study is to highlight some of the underlying mechanisms that govern cellular interaction in the vascular wall, using a nonlinear model of vasomotion. We show that macroscopic rhythmic activity and emergent phenomena can indeed reflect ion movements at the level of the individual cell
Robust polarization-based quantum key distribution over collective-noise channel
We present two polarization-based protocols for quantum key distribution. The
protocols encode key bits in noiseless subspaces or subsystems, and so can
function over a quantum channel subjected to an arbitrary degree of collective
noise, as occurs, for instance, due to rotation of polarizations in an optical
fiber. These protocols can be implemented using only entangled photon-pair
sources, single-photon rotations, and single-photon detectors. Thus, our
proposals offer practical and realistic alternatives to existing schemes for
quantum key distribution over optical fibers without resorting to
interferometry or two-way quantum communication, thereby circumventing,
respectively, the need for high precision timing and the threat of Trojan horse
attacks.Comment: Minor changes, added reference

Higher Security Thresholds for Quantum Key Distribution by Improved Analysis of Dark Counts
We discuss the potential of quantum key distribution (QKD) for long distance
communication by proposing a new analysis of the errors caused by dark counts.
We give sufficient conditions for a considerable improvement of the key
generation rates and the security thresholds of well-known QKD protocols such
as Bennett-Brassard 1984, Phoenix-Barnett-Chefles 2000, and the six-state
protocol. This analysis is applicable to other QKD protocols like Bennett 1992.
We examine two scenarios: a sender using a perfect single-photon source and a
sender using a Poissonian source.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figures, v2: We obtained better results by using reverse
reconciliation as suggested by Nicolas Gisi
Noncommutative knot theory
The classical abelian invariants of a knot are the Alexander module, which is
the first homology group of the the unique infinite cyclic covering space of
S^3-K, considered as a module over the (commutative) Laurent polynomial ring,
and the Blanchfield linking pairing defined on this module. From the
perspective of the knot group, G, these invariants reflect the structure of
G^(1)/G^(2) as a module over G/G^(1) (here G^(n) is the n-th term of the
derived series of G). Hence any phenomenon associated to G^(2) is invisible to
abelian invariants. This paper begins the systematic study of invariants
associated to solvable covering spaces of knot exteriors, in particular the
study of what we call the n-th higher-order Alexander module, G^(n+1)/G^(n+2),
considered as a Z[G/G^(n+1)$-module. We show that these modules share almost
all of the properties of the classical Alexander module. They are torsion
modules with higher-order Alexander polynomials whose degrees give lower bounds
for the knot genus. The modules have presentation matrices derived either from
a group presentation or from a Seifert surface. They admit higher-order linking
forms exhibiting self-duality. There are applications to estimating knot genus
and to detecting fibered, prime and alternating knots. There are also
surprising applications to detecting symplectic structures on 4-manifolds.
These modules are similar to but different from those considered by the author,
Kent Orr and Peter Teichner and are special cases of the modules considered
subsequently by Shelly Harvey for arbitrary 3-manifolds.Comment: Published by Algebraic and Geometric Topology at

Experimental Quantum Communication without a Shared Reference Frame
We present an experimental realization of a robust quantum communication
scheme [Phys. Rev. Lett. 93, 220501 (2004)] using pairs of photons entangled in
polarization and time. Our method overcomes errors due to collective rotation
of the polarization modes (e.g., birefringence in optical fiber or
misalignment), is insensitive to the phase's fluctuation of the interferometer,
and does not require any shared reference frame including time reference,
except the need to label different photons. The practical robustness of the
scheme is further shown by implementing a variation of the Bennett-Brassard
1984 quantum key distribution protocol over 1 km optical fiber.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Experimental Implementation of Discrete Time Quantum Random Walk on an NMR Quantum Information Processor
We present an experimental implementation of the coined discrete time quantum
walk on a square using a three qubit liquid state nuclear magnetic resonance
(NMR) quantum information processor (QIP). Contrary to its classical
counterpart, we observe complete interference after certain steps and a
periodicity in the evolution. Complete state tomography has been performed for
each of the eight steps making a full period. The results have extremely high
fidelity with the expected states and show clearly the effects of quantum
interference in the walk. We also show and discuss the importance of choosing a
molecule with a natural Hamiltonian well suited to NMR QIP by implementing the
same algorithm on a second molecule. Finally, we show experimentally that
decoherence after each step makes the statistics of the quantum walk tend to
that of the classical random walk.Comment: revtex4, 8 pages, 6 figures, submitted to PR
