    Fast gates for ion traps by splitting laser pulses

    Get PDF
    We present a fast phase gate scheme that is experimentally achievable and has an operation time more than two orders of magnitude faster than current experimental schemes for low numbers of pulses. The gate time improves with the number of pulses following an inverse power law. Unlike implemented schemes which excite precise motional sidebands, thus limiting the gate timescale, our scheme excites multiple motional states using discrete ultra-fast pulses.We use beam-splitters to divide pulses into smaller components to overcome limitations due to the finite laser pulse repetition rate. This provides gate times faster than proposed theoretical schemes when we optimize a practical setup

    The Role of Fermions in Bubble Nucleation

    Get PDF
    We present a study of the role of fermions in the decay of metastable states of a scalar field via bubble nucleation. We analyze both one and three-dimensional systems by using a gradient expansion for the calculation of the fermionic determinant. The results of the one-dimensional case are compared to the exact results of previous work.Comment: 15 pages, revtex, 9 figure

    Power-law statistics and stellar rotational velocities in the Pleiades

    Full text link
    In this paper we will show that, the non-gaussian statistics framework based on the Kaniadakis statistics is more appropriate to fit the observed distributions of projected rotational velocity measurements of stars in the Pleiades open cluster. To this end, we compare the results from the κ\kappa and qq-distributions with the Maxwellian.Comment: 13 pages, 3 figure

    Holonomy Transformation in the FRW Metric

    In this work we investigate loop variables in Friedman-Robertson-Walker spacetime. We analyze the parallel transport of vectors and spinors in several paths in this spacetime in order to classify its global properties. The band holonomy invariance is analysed in this background.Comment: 8 page

    Bayesian Non-Exhaustive Classification A Case Study: Online Name Disambiguation using Temporal Record Streams

    Get PDF
    The name entity disambiguation task aims to partition the records of multiple real-life persons so that each partition contains records pertaining to a unique person. Most of the existing solutions for this task operate in a batch mode, where all records to be disambiguated are initially available to the algorithm. However, more realistic settings require that the name disambiguation task be performed in an online fashion, in addition to, being able to identify records of new ambiguous entities having no preexisting records. In this work, we propose a Bayesian non-exhaustive classification framework for solving online name disambiguation task. Our proposed method uses a Dirichlet process prior with a Normal * Normal * Inverse Wishart data model which enables identification of new ambiguous entities who have no records in the training data. For online classification, we use one sweep Gibbs sampler which is very efficient and effective. As a case study we consider bibliographic data in a temporal stream format and disambiguate authors by partitioning their papers into homogeneous groups. Our experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method is better than existing methods for performing online name disambiguation task.Comment: to appear in CIKM 201

    Seleção para germinação de sementes de cenoura na região norte do Brasil.

    Get PDF
    As cultivares de cenoura do grupo Brasília apresentam boa adaptação às condições de cultivo durante o verão no Brasil. Entretanto, é necessário selecionar para aumentar o potencial de germinação sob temperaturas elevadas, propiciando economia de sementes e estandes mais uniformes, principalmente em regiões quentes do país. O objetivo deste trabalho foi verificar a efetividade da seleção para maximização da germinação de sementes de cenoura sob altas temperaturas, para uma população do grupo Brasília, em condições de campo no Norte do Brasil. Em setembro de 2008, em Porto Velho-RO, foram avaliadas quanto a germinação 57 progênies meioirmãs de cenoura da população de melhoramento 0712480, utilizando-se delineamento em blocos casualizados com quatro repetições de 100 sementes de cada progênie. Os dados obtidos foram submetidos a análises de variância e estimadas aherdabilidade e ganhos diretos com a seleção. Pôde-se verificar que a seleção para maior porcentagem de germinação em altas temperaturas possibilita ganho genético para esta característica. No entanto, não supera o ganho obtido com a seleção efetuada em laboratório, já que o mesmo possibilita obtertemperaturas médias diárias mais elevadas e constantes.Trabalho apresentado no Congresso Brasileiro de Olericultura, 50., 2010, Guarapari.

    Magnetic phases evolution in the LaMn1-xFexO3+y system

    Full text link
    We have investigated the crystal structure and magnetic properties for polycrystalline samples of LaMn1-xFexO3+y, in the whole range x=0.0 to x=1.0, prepared by solid state reaction in air. All samples show the ORT-2 orthorhombic structure that suppresses the Jahn-Teller distortion, thus favoring a ferromagnetic (FM) superexchange (SE) interaction between Mn^{3+}-O-Mn^{3+}. For x=0.0 the oxygen excess (y ~ 0.09) produces vacancies in the La and Mn sites and generates a fraction around 18% of Mn^{4+} ions and 82% of the usual Mn^{3+} ions, with possible double exchange interaction between them. The Fe doping in this system is known to produce only stable Fe^{3+} ions. We find an evolution from a fairly strong FM phase with a Curie temperature T_{C} ~ 160 K, for x=0.0, to an antiferromagnetic (AFM) phase with T_{N} = 790 K, for x=1.0, accompanied by clear signatures of a cluster-glass behavior. For intermediate Fe contents a mixed-phase state occurs, with a gradual decrease (increase) of the FM (AFM) phase, accompanied by a systematic transition broadening for 0.2 < x < 0.7. A model based on the expected exchange interaction among the various magnetic-ion types, accounts very well for the saturation-magnetization dependence on Fe doping.Comment: 27 pages, 9 figure
