Protecting a quantum state from environmental noise by an incompatible finite-time measurement
We show that measurements of finite duration performed on an open two-state
system can protect the initial state from a phase-noisy environment, provided
the measured observable does not commute with the perturbing interaction. When
the measured observable commutes with the environmental interaction, the
finite-duration measurement accelerates the rate of decoherence induced by the
phase noise. For the description of the measurement of an observable that is
incompatible with the interaction between system and environment, we have found
an approximate analytical expression, valid at zero temperature and weak
coupling with the measuring device. We have tested the validity of the
analytical predictions against an exact numerical approach, based on the
superoperator-splitting method, that confirms the protection of the initial
state of the system. When the coupling between the system and the measuring
apparatus increases beyond the range of validity of the analytical
approximation, the initial state is still protected by the finite-time
measurement, according with the exact numerical calculations.Comment: REVISED VERSION: 37 pages, 3 figure
Electric field inversion asymmetry: Rashba and Stark effects for holes in resonant tunneling devices
We report experimental evidence of excitonic spin-splitting, in addition to
the conventional Zeeman effect, produced by a combination of the Rashba
spin-orbit interaction, Stark shift and charge screening. The
electric-field-induced modulation of the spin-splitting are studied during the
charging and discharging processes of p-type GaAs/AlAs double barrier resonant
tunneling diodes (RTD) under applied bias and magnetic field. The abrupt
changes in the photoluminescence, with the applied bias, provide information of
the charge accumulation effects on the device.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
DNA barcoding green microalgae isolated from neotropical inland waters.
This study evaluated the feasibility of using the Ribulose Bisphosphate Carboxylase Large subunit gene (rbcL) and the Internal Transcribed Spacers 1 and 2 of the nuclear rDNA (nuITS1 and nuITS2) markers for identifying a very diverse, albeit poorly known group, of green microalgae from neotropical inland waters. Fifty-one freshwater green microalgae strains isolated from Brazil, the largest biodiversity reservoir in the neotropics, were submitted to DNA barcoding. Currently available universal primers for ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region amplification were sufficient to successfully amplify and sequence 47 (92%) of the samples. On the other hand, new sets of primers had to be designed for rbcL, which allowed 96% of the samples to be sequenced. Thirty-five percent of the strains could be unambiguously identified to the species level based either on nuITS1 or nuITS2 sequences? using barcode gap calculations. nuITS2 Compensatory Base Change (CBC) and ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region phylogenetic analysis, together with morphological inspection, confirmed the identification accuracy. In contrast, only 6% of the strains could be assigned to the correct species based solely on rbcL sequences. In conclusion, the data presented here indicates that either nuITS1 or nuITS2 are useful markers for DNA barcoding of freshwater green microalgae, with advantage for nuITS2 due to the larger availability of analytical tools and reference barcodes deposited at databases for this marker
Descrição e evolução da infestação do capim-annoni utilizando o método de interceptação na linha.
As estimativas visuais de infestação de capim-annoni (Eragrostis plana Nees) são bastante imprecisas e dificultam a comparação do nível de infestação em áreas distintas ou na mesma área com o passar do tempo.Claudia Cristina Gulias Gomes, editora técnica
