Quantum computing based on space states without charge transfer
An implementation of a quantum computer based on space states in double
quantum dots is discussed. There is no charge transfer in qubits during
calculation, therefore, uncontrollable entan-glement between them due to
long-range Coulomb interaction is suppressed. Other plausible sources of
decoherence caused by interaction with phonons and gates could be substantially
suppressed in the structure too. We also demonstrate how all necessary quantum
logic operations, initialization, writing, and read-out could be carried out in
the computer.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, RevTeX forma
Superconducting single-mode contact as a microwave-activated quantum interferometer
The dynamics of a superconducting quantum point contact biased at subgap
voltages is shown to be strongly affected by a microwave electromagnetic field.
Interference among a sequence of temporally localized, microwave-induced
Landau-Zener transitions between current carrying Andreev levels results in
energy absorption and in an increase of the subgap current by several orders of
magnitude. The contact is an interferometer in the sense that the current is an
oscillatory function of the inverse bias voltage. Possible applications to
Andreev-level spectroscopy and microwave detection are discussed
On Properties of the Isoscalar Giant Dipole Resonance
Main properties (strength function, energy-dependent transition density,
branching ratios for direct nucleon decay) of the isoscalar giant dipole
resonance in several medium-heavy mass spherical nuclei are described within a
continuum-RPA approach, taking into account the smearing effect. All model
parameters used in the calculations are taken from independent data.
Calculation results are compared with available experimental data.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figure
