Non-Destructive Discrimination of arbitrary set of orthogonal quantum states by NMR using Quantum Phase Estimation
An algorithm based on quantum phase estimation, which discriminates quantum
states nondestructively within a set of arbitrary orthogonal states, is
described and experimentally verified by a NMR quantum information processor.
The procedure is scalable and can be applied to any set of orthogonal states.
Scalability is demonstrated through Matlab simulation
Singlet state creation and Universal quantum computation in NMR using Genetic Algorithm
Experimental implementation of a quantum algorithm requires unitary operator
decomposition. Here we treat the unitary operator decomposition as an
optimization problem and use Genetic Algorithm, a global optimization method
inspired by nature's evolutionary process for operator decomposition. As an
application, we apply this to NMR Quantum Information Processing and find a
probabilistic way of doing universal quantum computation using global hard
pulses. We also demonstrate efficient creation of singlet state (as a special
case of Bell state) directly from thermal equilibrium using an optimum sequence
of pulses
Turbulent flow in graphene
We demonstrate the possibility of a turbulent flow of electrons in graphene
in the hydrodynamic region, by calculating the corresponding turbulent
probability density function. This is used to calculate the contribution of the
turbulent flow to the conductivity within a quantum Boltzmann approach. The
dependence of the conductivity on the system parameters arising from the
turbulent flow is very different from that due to scattering.Comment: 4 pages, Latex file, Journal versio
Sufficient Conditions for Starlike Functions Associated with the Lemniscate of Bernoulli
Let -1\leq B<A\leq 1. Condition on \beta, is determined so that 1+\beta
zp'(z)/p^k(z)\prec(1+Az)/(1+Bz)\;(-1<k\leq3) implies p(z)\prec \sqrt{1+z}.
Similarly, condition on \beta is determined so that 1+\beta zp'(z)/p^n(z) or
p(z)+\beta zp'(z)/p^n(z)\prec\sqrt{1+z}\;(n=0, 1, 2) implies
p(z)\prec(1+Az)/(1+Bz) or \sqrt{1+z}. In addition to that condition on \beta is
derived so that p(z)\prec(1+Az)/(1+Bz) when p(z)+\beta
zp'(z)/p(z)\prec\sqrt{1+z}. Few more problems of the similar flavor are also
considered
VEWS: A Wikipedia Vandal Early Warning System
We study the problem of detecting vandals on Wikipedia before any human or
known vandalism detection system reports flagging potential vandals so that
such users can be presented early to Wikipedia administrators. We leverage
multiple classical ML approaches, but develop 3 novel sets of features. Our
Wikipedia Vandal Behavior (WVB) approach uses a novel set of user editing
patterns as features to classify some users as vandals. Our Wikipedia
Transition Probability Matrix (WTPM) approach uses a set of features derived
from a transition probability matrix and then reduces it via a neural net
auto-encoder to classify some users as vandals. The VEWS approach merges the
previous two approaches. Without using any information (e.g. reverts) provided
by other users, these algorithms each have over 85% classification accuracy.
Moreover, when temporal recency is considered, accuracy goes to almost 90%. We
carry out detailed experiments on a new data set we have created consisting of
about 33K Wikipedia users (including both a black list and a white list of
editors) and containing 770K edits. We describe specific behaviors that
distinguish between vandals and non-vandals. We show that VEWS beats ClueBot NG
and STiki, the best known algorithms today for vandalism detection. Moreover,
VEWS detects far more vandals than ClueBot NG and on average, detects them 2.39
edits before ClueBot NG when both detect the vandal. However, we show that the
combination of VEWS and ClueBot NG can give a fully automated vandal early
warning system with even higher accuracy.Comment: To appear in Proceedings of the 21st ACM SIGKDD Conference of

Synthesis and superconductivity of new BiS2 based superconductor PrO0.5F0.5BiS2
We report synthesis and superconductivity at 3.7K in PrO0.5F0.5BiS2. The
newly discovered material belongs to the layered sulfide based REO0.5F0.5BiS2
compounds having ZrCuSiAs type structure. The bulk polycrystalline compound is
synthesized by vacuum encapsulation technique at 7800C in single step. Detailed
structural analysis has shown that the as synthesized PrO0.5F0.5BiS2 is
crystallized in tetragonal P4/nmm space group with lattice parameters a =
4.015(5) {\AA}, c = 13.362(4) {\AA}. Bulk superconductivity is observed in
PrO0.5F0.5BiS2 below 4K from magnetic and transport measurements. Electrical
transport measurements showed superconducting transition temperature (Tc) onset
at 3.7K and Tc ({\rho}=0) at 3.1K. Hump at Tc related to superconducting
transition is not observed in heat capacity measurement and rather a
Schottky-type anomaly is observed at below ~6K. The compound is slightly
semiconducting in normal state. Isothermal magnetization (MH) exhibited typical
type II behavior with lower critical field (Hc1) of around 8Oe.Comment: Short note 10 pages text+figs. First report on PrO.5F.5BiS2 Su
