Symmetry of Quantum Phase Space in a Degenerate Hamiltonian System

Using Husimi function approach, we study the ``quantum phase space'' of a harmonic oscillator interacting with a plane monochromatic wave. We show that in the regime of weak chaos, the quantum system has the same symmetry as the classical system. Analytical results agree with the results of numerical calculations.Comment: 11 pages LaTex, including 2 Postscript figure

Simulations of Quantum Logic Operations in Quantum Computer with Large Number of Qubits

We report the first simulations of the dynamics of quantum logic operations with a large number of qubits (up to 1000). A nuclear spin chain in which selective excitations of spins is provided by the gradient of the external magnetic field is considered. The spins interact with their nearest neighbors. We simulate the quantum control-not (CN) gate implementation for remote qubits which provides the long-distance entanglement. Our approach can be applied to any implementation of quantum logic gates involving a large number of qubits.Comment: 13 pages, 15 figure

Stability of Nonlinear Normal Modes in the FPU-β\beta Chain in the Thermodynamic Limit

All possible symmetry-determined nonlinear normal modes (also called by simple periodic orbits, one-mode solutions etc.) in both hard and soft Fermi-Pasta-Ulam-$\beta$ chains are discussed. A general method for studying their stability in the thermodynamic limit, as well as its application for each of the above nonlinear normal modes are presented

Avoiding Quantum Chaos in Quantum Computation

We study a one-dimensional chain of nuclear $1/2-$spins in an external time-dependent magnetic field. This model is considered as a possible candidate for experimental realization of quantum computation. According to the general theory of interacting particles, one of the most dangerous effects is quantum chaos which can destroy the stability of quantum operations. According to the standard viewpoint, the threshold for the onset of quantum chaos due to an interaction between spins (qubits) strongly decreases with an increase of the number of qubits. Contrary to this opinion, we show that the presence of a magnetic field gradient helps to avoid quantum chaos which turns out to disappear with an increase of the number of qubits. We give analytical estimates which explain this effect, together with numerical data supportingComment: RevTex, 5 pages including 3 eps-figure

Solid-State Nuclear Spin Quantum Computer Based on Magnetic Resonance Force Microscopy

We propose a nuclear spin quantum computer based on magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM). It is shown that an MRFM single-electron spin measurement provides three essential requirements for quantum computation in solids: (a) preparation of the ground state, (b) one- and two- qubit quantum logic gates, and (c) a measurement of the final state. The proposed quantum computer can operate at temperatures up to 1K.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure

Stationary cantilever vibrations in the oscillating cantilever-driven adiabatic reversals -- magnetic resonance force microscopy technique

We consider theoretically the novel technique in magnetic resonance force microscopy which is called ``oscillating cantilever-driven adiabatic reversals''. We present analytical and numerical analysis for the stationary cantilever vibrations in this technique. For reasonable values of parameters we estimate the resonant frequency shift as 6Hz per the Bohr magneton. We analyze also the regime of small oscillations of the paramagnetic moment near the transversal plane and the frequency shift of the damped cantilever vibrations.Comment: 12 pages RevTex

On Properties of Boundaries and Electron Conductivity in Mesoscopic Polycrystalline Silicon Films for Memory Devices

We present the results of molecular dynamics modeling on the structural properties of grain boundaries (GB) in thin polycrystalline films. The transition from crystalline boundaries with low mismatch angle to amorphous boundaries is investigated. It is shown that the structures of the GBs satisfy a thermodynamical criterion. The potential energy of silicon atoms is closely related with a geometrical quantity -- tetragonality of their coordination with their nearest neighbors. A crossover of the length of localization is observed. To analyze the crossover of the length of localization of the single-electron states and properties of conductance of the thin polycrystalline film at low temperature, we use a two-dimensional Anderson localization model, with the random one-site electron charging energy for a single grain (dot), random non-diagonal matrix elements, and random number of connections between the neighboring grains. The results on the crossover behavior of localization length of the single-electron states and characteristic properties of conductance are presented in the region of parameters where the transition from an insulator to a conductor regimes takes place.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure

Hall helps Ohm: some corrections to negative-U centers approach to transport properties of YBa2_2Cu3_3Ox_x and La2−x_{2-x}Srx_xCuO4_4

For broad oxygen and strontium doping ranges, temperature dependences (T-dependences) of the normal state resistivity \rho(T) of YBa_2Cu_3O_x (YBCO) and La_(2-x)Sr_xCuO_4 (LSCO) are calculated and compared to experiments. Holes transport was taken in the \tau-approximation, where \tau(T,\epsilon) is due to acoustic phonons. Besides, T-dependence of the chemical potential \mu(T) and effective carrier mass m* ~10-100 free electron masses, obtained by negative-U centers modelling the T-dependence of the Hall coefficient, were used to calculate \rho(T). In addition, it is demonstrated that anisotropy of the cuprates does not affect the calculated T-variation of neither Hall coefficient nor \rho, but only rescale their magnitudes by factors depending on combinations of m_ab and m_c.Comment: 4th International Conference Fundamental Problems of High-Temperature Superconductivity, Moscow-Zvenigorod (October 3-7, 2011) Submitted to J.
