Quantum dense coding in multiparticle entangled states via local measurements
In this paper, we study quantum dense coding between two arbitrarily fixed
particles in a (N+2)-particle maximally-entangled states through introducing an
auxiliary qubit and carrying out local measurements. It is shown that the
transmitted classical information amount through such an entangled quantum
channel usually is less than two classical bits. However, the information
amount may reach two classical bits of information, and the classical
information capacity is independent of the number of the entangled particles in
the initial entangled state under certain conditions. The results offer deeper
insights to quantum dense coding via quantum channels of multi-particle
entangled states.Comment: 3 pages, no figur

Effect of Horizontal Joint Reinforcement on Shear Behaviour of RC Knee Connections
To investigate seismic performance of beam-column knee joints, four full-scale reinforced concrete beam-column knee joints, which were fabricated to simulate those in as-built RC frame buildings designed to ACI 318-14 and ACI-ASCE 352R-02, were tested under reversed cyclic loading. In the experimental programme, particular emphasis was given to the effect of horizontal reinforcement (in format of inverted U-shape bars) on the shear strength and ductility capacity of knee joints. Test results are compared with those predicted by four seismic design codes, including ACI 318-14, EC8, NZS3101 and GB50010. It is seen that the current design codes of practice cannot accurately predict the shear strength of seismically designed knee joints
Maximum mutual information design for amplify-and-forward multi-hop MIMO relaying systems under channel uncertainties
Conference Theme: PHY and FundamentalsIn this paper, we investigate maximum mutual information design for multi-hop amplify-and-forward (AF) multiple-input multiple-out (MIMO) relaying systems with imperfect channel state information, i.e., Gaussian distributed channel estimation errors. The robust design is formulated as a matrix-variate optimization problem. Exploiting the elegant properties of Majorization theory and matrix-variate functions, the optimal structures of the forwarding matrices at the relays and precoding matrix at the source are derived. Based on the derived structures, a water-filling solution is proposed to solve the remaining unknown variables. © 2012 IEEE.published_or_final_versionThe 2012 IEEE Wireless Communications and Networking Conference (WCNC), Paris, France, 1-4 April 2012.

Elusive vector glueball
If the vector glueball exists in the mass range that theory suggests, its
resonance production cross section can be seen in e+e- annihilation only if the
decay width is very narrow (< a few MeV). Otherwise it willbe observed only
indirectly through its mixing with psi(2S). A few tests of the glueball-psi'
mixing are proposed for future charm factories.Comment: One misleading short sentence delete
Search for via the transition at LHCb and factory
It is interesting to study the characteristics of the whole family of
which contains two different heavy flavors. LHC and the proposed factory
provide an opportunity because a large database on the family will be
achieved. and its excited states can be identified via their decay modes.
As suggested by experimentalists, is not easy to be
clearly measured, instead, the trajectories of and occurring in
the decay of () can be unambiguously
identified, thus the measurement seems easier and more reliable, therefore this
mode is more favorable at early running stage of LHCb and the proposed
factory. In this work, we calculate the rate of
in terms of the QCD multipole-expansion and the numerical results indicate that
the experimental measurements with the luminosity of LHC and factory are
feasible.Comment: 12 pages, 1 figures and 4 tables, acceptted by SCIENCE CHINA Physics,

A Tensor-Based Forensics Framework for Virtualized Network Functions in the Internet of Things: Utilizing Tensor Algebra in Facilitating More Efficient Network Forensic Investigations
With the ever-increasing network traffic and Internet connectivity of smart devices, more attack events are being reported. As a result, network forensics remains a topic of ongoing research interest in the Internet of Things (IoT). In this article, we present a novel tensor-based forensics approach for virtualized network functions (VNFs). An event tensor model is proposed to formalize the network events, and then, it is used for effectively updating the core event tensor. We then introduce a similarity tensor model to integrate the core event tensors on the orchestration and management layer in the network function virtualization (NFV) framework. Finally, we present an evidence tensor model for network forensics, where we demonstrate how evidence tensors can be merged
Micromagnetometry of two-dimensional ferromagnets
The study of atomically thin ferromagnetic crystals has led to the discovery
of unusual magnetic behaviour and provided insight into the magnetic properties
of bulk materials. However, the experimental techniques that have been used to
explore ferromagnetism in such materials cannot probe the magnetic field
directly. Here, we show that ballistic Hall micromagnetometry can be used to
measure the magnetization of individual two-dimensional ferromagnets. Our
devices are made by van der Waals assembly in such a way that the investigated
ferromagnetic crystal is placed on top of a multi-terminal Hall bar made from
encapsulated graphene. We use the micromagnetometry technique to study
atomically thin chromium tribromide (CrBr3). We find that the material remains
ferromagnetic down to monolayer thickness and exhibits strong out-of-plane
anisotropy. We also find that the magnetic response of CrBr3 varies little with
the number of layers and its temperature dependence cannot be described by the
simple Ising model of two-dimensional ferromagnetism.Comment: 19 pages, 12 figure
