One-dimensional relativistic dissipative system with constant force and its quantization
For a relativistic particle under a constant force and a linear velocity
dissipation force, a constant of motion is found. Problems are shown for
getting the Hamiltoninan of this system. Thus, the quantization of this system
is carried out through the constant of motion and using the quantization of the
velocity variable. The dissipative relativistic quantum bouncer is outlined
within this quantization approach.Comment: 11 pages, no figure
Velocity quantization approach of the one-dimensional dissipative harmonic oscillator
Given a constant of motion for the one-dimensional harmonic oscillator with
linear dissipation in the velocity, the problem to get the Hamiltonian for this
system is pointed out, and the quantization up to second order in the
perturbation approach is used to determine the modification on the eigenvalues
when dissipation is taken into consideration. This quantization is realized
using the constant of motion instead of the Hamiltonian.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figure
Event Recognition Using Signal Spectrograms in Long Pulse Experiments
As discharge duration increases, real-time complex analysis of the signal becomes more important. In this context, data acquisition and processing systems must provide models for designing experiments which use event oriented plasma control. One example of advanced data analysis is signal classification. The off-line statistical analysis of a large number of discharges provides information to develop algorithms for the determination of the plasma parameters from measurements of magnetohydrodinamic waves, for example, to detect density fluctuations induced by the Alfvén cascades using morphological patterns. The need to apply different algorithms to the signals and to address different processing algorithms using the previous results necessitates the use of an event-based experiment. The Intelligent Test and Measurement System platform is an example of architecture designed to implement distributed data acquisition and real-time processing systems. The processing algorithm sequence is modeled using an event-based paradigm. The adaptive capacity of this model is based on the logic defined by the use of state machines in SCXML. The Intelligent Test and Measurement System platform mixes a local multiprocessing model with a distributed deployment of services based on Jini
Dynamics of Entanglement Transfer Through Multipartite Dissipative Systems
We study the dynamics of entanglement transfer in a system composed of two
initially correlated three-level atoms, each located in a cavity interacting
with its own reservoir. Instead of tracing out reservoir modes to describe the
dynamics using the master equation approach, we consider explicitly the
dynamics of the reservoirs. In this situation, we show that the entanglement is
completely transferred from atoms to reservoirs. Although the cavities mediate
this entanglement transfer, we show that under certain conditions, no
entanglement is found in cavities throughout the dynamics. Considering the
entanglement dynamics of interacting and non-interacting bipartite subsystems,
we found time windows where the entanglement can only flow through interacting
subsystems, depending on the system parameters.Comment: 8 pages, 11 figures, publishe in Physical Review
A versatile trigger and synchronization module with IEEE1588 capabilities and EPICS support.
Event timing and synchronization are two key aspects to improve in the implementation of distributed data acquisition (dDAQ) systems such as the ones used in fusion experiments. It is also of great importance the integration of dDAQ in control and measurement networks. This paper analyzes the applicability of the IEEE1588 and EPICS standards to solve these problems, and presents a hardware module implementation based in both of them that allow adding these functionalities to any DAQ. The IEEE1588 standard facilitates the integration of event timing and synchronization mechanisms in distributed data acquisition systems based on IEEE 803.3 (Ethernet). An optimal implementation of such system requires the use of network interface devices which include specific hardware resources devoted to the IEE1588 functionalities. Unfortunately, this is not the approach followed in most of the large number of applications available nowadays. Therefore, most solutions are based in software and use standard hardware network interfaces. This paper presents the development of a hardware module (GI2E) with IEEE1588 capabilities which includes USB, RS232, RS485 and CAN interfaces. This permits to integrate any DAQ element that uses these interfaces in dDAQ systems in an efficient and simple way. The module has been developed with Motorola's Coldfire MCF5234 processor and National Semiconductors's PHY DP83640T, providing it with the possibility to implement the PTP protocol of IEEE1588 by hardware, and therefore increasing its performance over other implementations based in software. To facilitate the integration of the dDAQ system in control and measurement networks the module includes a basic Input/Output Controller (IOC) functionality of the Experimental Physics and Industrial Control System (EPICS) architecture. The paper discusses the implementation details of this module and presents its applications in advanced dDAQ applications in the fusion community
