Experimental Test of Tracking the King Problem
In quantum theory, the retrodiction problem is not as clear as its classical
counterpart because of the uncertainty principle of quantum mechanics. In
classical physics, the measurement outcomes of the present state can be used
directly for predicting the future events and inferring the past events which
is known as retrodiction. However, as a probabilistic theory,
quantum-mechanical retrodiction is a nontrivial problem that has been
investigated for a long time, of which the Mean King Problem is one of the most
extensively studied issues. Here, we present the first experimental test of a
variant of the Mean King Problem, which has a more stringent regulation and is
termed "Tracking the King". We demonstrate that Alice, by harnessing the shared
entanglement and controlled-not gate, can successfully retrodict the choice of
King's measurement without knowing any measurement outcome. Our results also
provide a counterintuitive quantum communication to deliver information hidden
in the choice of measurement.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figures, 2 table
Ethyl 4-anilino-3-nitrobenzoate
In the title compound, C15H14N2O4, the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 78.33 (3)°. An intramolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bond results in a non-planar six-membered ring with a flattened-boat conformation. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules. π–π contacts between the phenyl rings and both the phenyl and benzene rings, [centroid–centroid distances = 3.841 (3) and 3.961 (3) Å] may further stabilize the structure
4-Chloro-3-nitrobenzonitrile
In the title compound, C7H3ClN2O2, the Cl, C and N atoms are coplanar with the aromatic ring. In the crystal structure, weak intermolecular C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the molecules. The π–π contact between the benzene rings, [centroid–centroid distances = 3.912 (3) Å] may further stabilize the structure
Angular Reconstruction of a Lead Scintillating-Fiber Sandwiched Electromagnetic Calorimeter
A new method called Neighbor Cell Deposited Energy Ratio (NCDER) is proposed
to reconstruct incidence position in a single layer for a 3-dimensional imaging
electromagnetic calorimeter (ECAL).This method was applied to reconstruct the
ECAL test beam data for the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-02 (AMS-02). The
results show that this method can achieve an angular resolution of 7.36\pm 0.08
/ \sqrt(E) \oplus 0.28 \pm 0.02 degree in the determination of the photons
direction, which is much more precise than that obtained with the
commonly-adopted Center of Gravity(COG) method (8.4 \pm 0.1 /sqrt(E) \oplus
0.8\pm0.3 degree). Furthermore, since it uses only the properties of
electromagnetic showers, this new method could also be used for other type of
fine grain sampling calorimeters.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figure
tert-Butyl N′-[4-(2-pyridyl)benzylidene]hydrazinecarboxylate
In the molecule of the title compound, C17H19N3O2, the aromatic rings are oriented at a dihedral angle of 3.68 (3)°. In the crystal structure, intermolecular N—H⋯O hydrogen bonds link the molecules into chains along the a axis. A weak C—H⋯π interaction is also present
