    Тhе forest target species composition substantiation requires the full alignment of the latter with the economy of a specific region, and the prospect of individual sectors development as a whole. Technology for conversion derived softwood stands to the valuable hardwood and coniferous ones must be tested and demonstrated at specific sites primarily in the Ministry of Forestry Experimental Forestries

    Optimal strategies of radial velocity observations in planet search surveys

    Full text link
    Applications of the theory of optimal design of experiments to radial velocity planet search surveys are considered. Different optimality criteria are discussed, basing on the Fisher, Shannon, and Kullback-Leibler informations. Algorithms of optimal scheduling of RV observations for two important practical problems are considered. The first problem is finding the time for future observations to yield the maximum improvement of the precision of exoplanetary orbital parameters and masses. The second problem is finding the most favourable time for distinguishing alternative orbital fits (the scheduling of discriminating observations). These methods of optimal planning are demonstrated to be potentially efficient for multi-planet extrasolar systems, in particular for resonant ones. In these cases, the optimal dates of observations are often concentrated in quite narrow time segments.Comment: 8 pages, 2 figures, no tables, Accepted to MNRA

    Four Atomic Optical Energy Levels as a Two Qubit Quantum Computer Register

    Full text link
    It is proposed to use four atomic optical energy levels as a two qubit quantum register. A single Pr3+ atom in a monocrystal LaF3 subjected to resonant laser irradiation is used as an example to illustrate the implementation of the universal set of quantum gates. The equilibrium state of this physical system is a desirable input state for quantum computation and therefore there is no need for its special preparation procedure.Comment: 7 pages, PostScript, including 4 figures; paper accepted for publication in the Proceedings of the VIII International Readings On Quantum Optics (Kazan, October 27-29, 1999, Russia

    Trajectories in the Context of the Quantum Newton's Law

    Full text link
    In this paper, we apply the one dimensional quantum law of motion, that we recently formulated in the context of the trajectory representation of quantum mechanics, to the constant potential, the linear potential and the harmonic oscillator. In the classically allowed regions, we show that to each classical trajectory there is a family of quantum trajectories which all pass through some points constituting nodes and belonging to the classical trajectory. We also discuss the generalization to any potential and give a new definition for de Broglie's wavelength in such a way as to link it with the length separating adjacent nodes. In particular, we show how quantum trajectories have as a limit when 0\hbar \to 0 the classical ones. In the classically forbidden regions, the nodal structure of the trajectories is lost and the particle velocity rapidly diverges.Comment: 17 pages, LateX, 6 eps figures, minor modifications, Title changed, to appear in Physica Script
