Lower Bounds of Quantum Search for Extreme Point
We show that Durr-Hoyer's quantum algorithm of searching for extreme point of
integer function can not be sped up for functions chosen randomly. Any other
algorithm acting in substantially shorter time gives incorrect
answer for the functions with the single point of maximum chosen randomly with
probability converging to 1. The lower bound as was
established for the quantum search for solution of equations where
is a Boolean function with such solutions chosen at random with probability
converging to 1.Comment: Some minor change

Operating wear of pipelines of the second circulation loop of WWER-1000 power units
Досліджено характер експлуатаційних ушкоджень трубопроводів теплообмінного устаткування другого контуру енергоблока ВВЕР-1000. Встановлено, що у ряді випадків труби зі сталі 20 (Ø32×4 мм) схильні до інтенсивного ерозійно-корозійного зношування, причиною чого можуть бути турбулентні потоки теплоносія, що виникають на згинах трубопроводів і виступах зварних з’єднань. Розглянуто також ушкодження трубопроводу зі сталі 20 (Ø325×13 мм). У трубопроводі зі сталі 08Х18Н10Т (Ø25×2 мм) ушкодження мають вигляд наскрізних зімкнених тріщин невеликої протяжності. Ушкодження носять локальний характер і за усіма ознаками зумовлені корозійним розтріскуванням під напруженням.Corrosion damage in the pipe system of the second circulation loop is one of the problems of long-term operation of NPP with WWER-1000 power units. Subject of the research were flat spiral pipe elements (SFPE) made of steel 20, 32×4 mm, used in high-pressure heater; pipe-line 325×13 was made of steel 20 and pipe elements of heat exchangers 25×2 mm were made of corrosion-resistant steel of austenitic class 08Cr18Ni10Ti.
The performed investigations have testified that SFPE pipes (32×4mm) in the medium of the second circulation loop are subjected to the intense erosive-corrosive wear. The reason of this phenomenon is the turbulent flows of heat-transfer agent caused by the wrong groove weld connecting SFPE and tailpress.
Formation of through crack was revealed on the pipeline 325×13 mm made of steel 20 without substantial erosion of the metal. Cracking has occurred on the area of tap for 90o in front of controller. Impact tests of longitudinal and transverse specimens testified the presence of anisotropy of mechanical properties of the metal. Metallographic examination revealed the presence of fibrous structure. Os the whole mechanical and metallographic properties of steel meet the specification. The reason of the crack formation was likely to be the combination of factors: overspecified operation loads and presence of corrosive component.
Erosion wear of the metal was not revealed in the pipeline 25×2 mm produced of steel 08Cr18Ni10Ti. In this case the operating damages are like through closed cracks of small extent. Damages are local and are caused by the corrosion cracking under stress
Teleportation, Braid Group and Temperley--Lieb Algebra
We explore algebraic and topological structures underlying the quantum
teleportation phenomena by applying the braid group and Temperley--Lieb
algebra. We realize the braid teleportation configuration, teleportation
swapping and virtual braid representation in the standard description of the
teleportation. We devise diagrammatic rules for quantum circuits involving
maximally entangled states and apply them to three sorts of descriptions of the
teleportation: the transfer operator, quantum measurements and characteristic
equations, and further propose the Temperley--Lieb algebra under local unitary
transformations to be a mathematical structure underlying the teleportation. We
compare our diagrammatical approach with two known recipes to the quantum
information flow: the teleportation topology and strongly compact closed
category, in order to explain our diagrammatic rules to be a natural
diagrammatic language for the teleportation.Comment: 33 pages, 19 figures, latex. The present article is a short version
of the preprint, quant-ph/0601050, which includes details of calculation,
more topics such as topological diagrammatical operations and entanglement
swapping, and calls the Temperley--Lieb category for the collection of all
the Temperley--Lieb algebra with physical operations like local unitary
transformation
Quantitative Treatment of Decoherence
We outline different approaches to define and quantify decoherence. We argue
that a measure based on a properly defined norm of deviation of the density
matrix is appropriate for quantifying decoherence in quantum registers. For a
semiconductor double quantum dot qubit, evaluation of this measure is reviewed.
For a general class of decoherence processes, including those occurring in
semiconductor qubits, we argue that this measure is additive: It scales
linearly with the number of qubits.Comment: Revised version, 26 pages, in LaTeX, 3 EPS figure
PECULARITIES OF MECHANICAL PROPERTIES OF HIGH-PURITY, IODIDE AND HAFNIUM GFE-1 IN TEMPERATURE RANGE 20-900°C
Here is given the results of investigation of mechanical properties of high-purity hafnium, iodide hafnium and hafnium GFE-1 at temperature range 20-900°C. Taken results are testifying about considerable influence of methods of receiving hafnium, its purity and mechanical-thermal processing on mechanical properties. The characteristic abnormalities of mechanical properties in the temperature range 20-900°C for different purity hafnium are discussed
