Teleportation of Atomic States via Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics
In this article we discuss a scheme of teleportation of atomic states. The
experimental realization proposed makes use of cavity Quatum Electrodynamics
involving the interaction of Rydberg atoms with a micromaser cavity prepared in
a coherent state. We start presenting a scheme to prepare atomic Bell states
via the interaction of atoms with a cavity. In our scheme the cavity and some
atoms play the role of auxiliary systems used to achieve the teleportation.Comment: 12 pages and 2 figures. Accepted for publication in Opt. Comm.,

BioConcens: Biomass and bioenergy production agriculture – consequences for soil fertility, environment, spread of animal parasites and socio-economy
The research programme called “international research cooperation and organic integrity” was commenced for a period 2006-2010. It is coordinated by DARCOF (The Danish Research Centre for Organic Farming). The whole programme, with acronym DARCOF III, consists of 15 projects (http://www.darcof.dk/research/darcofiii/index.html). One of them is BIOCONCENS - Biomass and bioenergy production in organic farming – consequences for soil fertility, environment, spread of animal parasites and socio-economy (http://www.bioconcens.elr.dk/uk/). The production of bioenergy in organic agriculture (OA) can reduce its dependency of fossil fuels and decrease green house gasses emission; consequently it will increase sustainability of organic farms. Biorefinery concept based on co-production of biogas, bioethanol and protein fodder in organic farming will be developed within the BIOCONCENS project and the background for the project and the different work packages will be presented in this paper
Quantum teleportation of light beams
We experimentally demonstrate quantum teleportation for continuous variables
using squeezed-state entanglement. The teleportation fidelity for a real
experimental system is calculated explicitly, including relevant imperfection
factors such as propagation losses, detection inefficiencies and phase
fluctuations. The inferred fidelity for input coherent states is F = 0.61 +-
0.02, which when corrected for the efficiency of detection by the output
observer, gives a fidelity of 0.62. By contrast, the projected result based on
the independently measured entanglement and efficiencies is 0.69. The
teleportation protocol is explained in detail, including a discussion of
discrepancy between experiment and theory, as well as of the limitations of the
current apparatus.Comment: 17 pages, 19 figures, submitted to PR
Biomass and bioenergy production in organic agriculture. Consequences for soil fertility, environment, spread of animal parasites and socio-economy. BioConcnes, a 4-year interdisciplinary project.
Energy production and energy use in organic agriculture (OA) need to be addressed in order to reduce the reliance on non-renewable fossil fuels and minimize greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. Thus, there is an obligation to find consensus between the apparent opposing aims of renewable (bio) energy production and soil fertility in OA. This project aims at designing and evaluate a combined concept for biomass and bio-energy production in OA, while considering soil fertility
