Magnetic Field Satellite (Magsat) data processing system specifications
The software specifications for the MAGSAT data processing system (MDPS) are presented. The MDPS is divided functionally into preprocessing of primary input data, data management, chronicle processing, and postprocessing. Data organization and validity, and checks of spacecraft and instrumentation are dicussed. Output products of the MDPS, including various plots and data tapes, are described. Formats for important tapes are presented. Dicussions and mathematical formulations for coordinate transformations and field model coefficients are included
Perturbation Theory for Quantum Computation with Large Number of Qubits
We describe a new and consistent perturbation theory for solid-state quantum
computation with many qubits. The errors in the implementation of simple
quantum logic operations caused by non-resonant transitions are estimated. We
verify our perturbation approach using exact numerical solution for relatively
small (L=10) number of qubits. A preferred range of parameters is found in
which the errors in processing quantum information are small. Our results are
needed for experimental testing of scalable solid-state quantum computers.Comment: 8 pages RevTex including 2 figure
Survival of quantum effects for observables after decoherence
When a quantum nonlinear system is linearly coupled to an infinite bath of
harmonic oscillators, quantum coherence of the system is lost on a decoherence
time-scale . Nevertheless, quantum effects for observables may still
survive environment-induced decoherence, and be observed for times much larger
than the decoherence time-scale. In particular, we show that the Ehrenfest
time, which characterizes a departure of quantum dynamics for observables from
the corresponding classical dynamics, can be observed for a quasi-classical
nonlinear oscillator for times . We discuss this observation in
relation to recent experiments on quantum nonlinear systems in the
quasi-classical region of parameters.Comment: submitted to PR
Quantum logic operations and creation of entanglement in a scalable superconducting quantum computer with long-range constant interaction between qubits
We consider a one-dimensional chain of many superconducting quantum
interference devices (SQUIDs), serving as charge qubits. Each SQUID is coupled
to its nearest neighbors through constant capacitances. We study the quantum
logic operations and implementation of entanglement in this system.
Arrays with two and three qubits are considered in detail. We show that the
creation of entanglement with an arbitrary number of qubits can be implemented,
without systematic errors, even when the coupling between qubits is not small.
A relatively large coupling constant allows one to increase the clock speed of
the quantum computer. We analytically and numerically demonstrate the creation
of the entanglement for this case, which can be a good test for the
experimental implementation of a relatively simple quantum protocol with many
qubits. We discuss a possible application of our approach for implementing
universal quantum logic for more complex algorithms by decreasing the coupling
constant and, correspondingly, decreasing the clock speed. The errors
introduced by the long-range interaction for the universal logic gates are
estimated analytically and calculated numerically. Our results can be useful
for experimental implementation of quantum algorithms using controlled magnetic
fluxes and gate voltages applied to the SQUIDs. The algorithms discussed in
this paper can be implemented using already existing technologies in
superconducting systems with constant inter-qubit coupling.Comment: 24 page
General-Purpose Parallel Simulator for Quantum Computing
With current technologies, it seems to be very difficult to implement quantum
computers with many qubits. It is therefore of importance to simulate quantum
algorithms and circuits on the existing computers. However, for a large-size
problem, the simulation often requires more computational power than is
available from sequential processing. Therefore, the simulation methods using
parallel processing are required.
We have developed a general-purpose simulator for quantum computing on the
parallel computer (Sun, Enterprise4500). It can deal with up-to 30 qubits. We
have performed Shor's factorization and Grover's database search by using the
simulator, and we analyzed robustness of the corresponding quantum circuits in
the presence of decoherence and operational errors. The corresponding results,
statistics and analyses are presented.Comment: 15 pages, 15 figure
Dynamical Stability and Quantum Chaos of Ions in a Linear Trap
The realization of a paradigm chaotic system, namely the harmonically driven
oscillator, in the quantum domain using cold trapped ions driven by lasers is
theoretically investigated. The simplest characteristics of regular and chaotic
dynamics are calculated. The possibilities of experimental realization are
discussed.Comment: 24 pages, 17 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev
Non-Resonant Effects in Implementation of Quantum Shor Algorithm
We simulate Shor's algorithm on an Ising spin quantum computer. The influence
of non-resonant effects is analyzed in detail. It is shown that our ``''-method successfully suppresses non-resonant effects even for relatively
large values of the Rabi frequency.Comment: 11 pages, 13 figure
An evaluation of a constrained test method for obtaining free body responses
A method for obtaining free body responses from dynamic tests on a constrained structure is investigated for practical feasibility. The method is based on the principle that a constrained structure can be considered to be a free body acted upon by multiple forces which include the forces of constraint. By measuring these forces and by exciting the structure so as to develop linearly independent sets of forces, the response of the free body to one force at a time can be computed. Techniques for producing these independent forces are discussed. The development of the theory, computer simulations of tests of representative aerospace vehicles (including experimental error), and a description and listing of the computer programs developed are included. The procedure appears to be a practical method for obtaining in-flight characteristics of such vehicles
Quantum Measurement of a Single Spin using Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy
Single-spin detection is one of the important challenges facing the
development of several new technologies, e.g. single-spin transistors and
solid-state quantum computation. Magnetic resonance force microscopy with a
cyclic adiabatic inversion, which utilizes a cantilever oscillations driven by
a single spin, is a promising technique to solve this problem. We have studied
the quantum dynamics of a single spin interacting with a quasiclassical
cantilever. It was found that in a similar fashion to the Stern-Gerlach
interferometer the quantum dynamics generates a quantum superposition of two
quasiclassical trajectories of the cantilever which are related to the two spin
projections on the direction of the effective magnetic field in the rotating
reference frame. Our results show that quantum jumps will not prevent a
single-spin measurement if the coupling between the cantilever vibrations and
the spin is small in comparison with the amplitude of the radio-frequency
external field.Comment: 16 pages RevTeX including 4 figure
