Graph editing to a fixed target
For a fixed graph H, the H-Minor Edit problem takes as input a graph G and an integer k and asks whether G can be modified into H by a total of at most k edge contractions, edge deletions and vertex deletions. Replacing edge contractions by vertex dissolutions yields the H-Topological Minor Edit problem. For each problem we show polynomial-time solvable and NP-complete cases depending on the choice of H. Moreover, when G is AT-free, chordal or planar, we show that H-Minor Edit is polynomial-time solvable for all graphs H
Proposal for a phonon laser utilizing quantum-dot spin states
We propose a nanoscale realization of a phonon laser utilizing phonon-assisted spin flips in quantum dots to amplify sound. Owing to a long spin relaxation time, the device can be operated in a strong pumping regime, in which the population inversion is close to its maximal value allowed under Fermi statistics. In this regime, the threshold for stimulated emission is unaffected by spontaneous spin flips. Considering a nanowire with quantum dots defined along its length, we show that a further improvement arises from confining the phonons to one dimension, and thus reducing the number of phonon modes available for spontaneous emission. Our work calls for the development of nanowire-based, high-finesse phonon resonators. © 2013 American Physical Society.A.

Single-dopant resonance in a single-electron transistor
Single dopants in semiconductor nanostructures have been studied in great
details recently as they are good candidates for quantum bits, provided they
are coupled to a detector. Here we report coupling of a single As donor atom to
a single-electron transistor (SET) in a silicon nanowire field-effect
transistor. Both capacitive and tunnel coupling are achieved, the latter
resulting in a dramatic increase of the conductance through the SET, by up to
one order of magnitude. The experimental results are well explained by the rate
equations theory developed in parallel with the experiment.Comment: 16 pages, 8 figure
Dynamic response of 1D bosons in a trap
We calculate the dynamic structure factor S(q,omega) of a one-dimensional
(1D) interacting Bose gas confined in a harmonic trap. The effective
interaction depends on the strength of the confinement enforcing the 1D motion
of atoms; interaction may be further enhanced by superimposing an optical
lattice on the trap potential. In the compressible state, we find that the
smooth variation of the gas density around the trap center leads to softening
of the singular behavior of S(q,omega) at Lieb-1 mode compared to the behavior
predicted for homogeneous 1D systems. Nevertheless, the density-averaged
response remains a non-analytic function of q and omega at Lieb-1 mode in the
limit of weak trap confinement. The exponent of the power-law non-analyticity
is modified due to the inhomogeneity in a universal way, and thus, bears
unambiguously the information about the (homogeneous) Lieb-Liniger model. A
strong optical lattice causes formation of Mott phases. Deep in the Mott
regime, we predict a semi-circular peak in S(q,\omega) centered at the on-site
repulsion energy, omega=U. Similar peaks of smaller amplitudes exist at
multiples of U as well. We explain the suppression of the dynamic response with
entering into the Mott regime, observed recently by D. Clement et al., Phys.
Rev. Lett. v. 102, p. 155301 (2009), based on an f-sum rule for the

Phonon-induced decay of the electron spin in quantum dots
We study spin relaxation and decoherence in a
GaAs quantum dot due to spin-orbit interaction. We derive an effective
Hamiltonian which couples the electron spin to phonons or any other fluctuation
of the dot potential. We show that the spin decoherence time is as large
as the spin relaxation time , under realistic conditions. For the
Dresselhaus and Rashba spin-orbit couplings, we find that, in leading order,
the effective magnetic field can have only fluctuations transverse to the
applied magnetic field. As a result, for arbitrarily large Zeeman
splittings, in contrast to the naively expected case
. We show that the spin decay is drastically suppressed for
certain magnetic field directions and values of the
Rashba coupling constant. Finally, for the spin coupling to acoustic phonons,
we show that
for all spin-orbit mechanisms in leading order in the
electron-phonon interaction.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figur
SiGe quantum dots for fast hole spin Rabi oscillations
We report on hole g-factor measurements in three terminal SiGe self-assembled
quantum dot devices with a top gate electrode positioned very close to the
nanostructure. Measurements of both the perpendicular as well as the parallel
g-factor reveal significant changes for a small modulation of the top gate
voltage. From the observed modulations we estimate that, for realistic
experimental conditions, hole spins can be electrically manipulated with Rabi
frequencies in the order of 100MHz. This work emphasises the potential of
hole-based nano-devices for efficient spin manipulation by means of the
g-tensor modulation technique

Erythron and protein system in piglets blood under stress influence
The article presents the results of research on the development of adaptive syndrome in the system of erythron and protein of piglets at the effects of weaning stress. After one (anesthetic stage) and seven days (beginning of G.Selle's resistance stage), after the echoing, the adaptation of the erythron system was shown by a decrease in the number of red blood cells on the contrary of increasing the mean corpuscular volume and hemoglobin indicating the inhibition of erythrocytosis with simultaneous macrocytosis, and a decrease in mean Corpuscular hemoglobin concentration for 14.0–13.0 % that indicated hypochromia. In these stressful periods, the catabolism of protein substrates was discovered, the redistribution of albumins between blood and tissues in the form of a decrease in the total protein content by 6.1–7.1 % due to albumin by 14.8–10.0 %, and the deficit of the humoral link of the immune response due to reduction of γ-globulins by 29.9–18.7 %. In the later stages of the resistance stage (after 20 and 60 days after weaning), there was a stabilization of erythrocytic indices and the development of anisocytosis in the form of an increase in red cell distribution width by 19.0 %, with a simultaneous decrease of 6.1 % of the total protein content, redistribution of its fractions in the side of the growth of γ-globulins by 18.4 %. A practical, prolonged way of preventing disorders in the erythron and protein of extramarital piglets was feeding the additive “Biovir”, which stimulated the intensity of oxidative-reducing processes and the exchange of proteins

The readout of the fullerene-based quantum computing by a scanning tunneling microscope
We consider to detect the electron spin of a doped atom, i.e., a nitrogen or
a phosphorus, caged in a fullerene by currently available technique of the
scanning tunneling microscope (STM), which actually corresponds to the readout
of a qubit in the fullerene-based quantum computing. Under the conditions of
polarized STM current and Coulomb blockade, we investigate the tunneling matrix
elements involving the exchange coupling between the tunneling polarized
electrons and the encapsulated polarized electron, and calculate the variation
of the tunneling current with respect to different orientations of the
encapsulated electron spin. The experimental feasibility of our scheme is
discussed under the consideration of some imperfect factors.Comment: RevTex file, 3 figures. To appear in New Journal of Physic
