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

Fine-Scale Variations in Eucritic Pyroxene FeO/MnO: Process vs. Provenance.
Most asteroidal igneous rocks are eucrite-like basalts and gabbros, composed mostly of ferroan low- and high-Ca pyroxenes and calcic plagioclase, plus smaller amounts of silica (most commonly tridymite), ilmenite, chromite, troilite, Ca-phosphate, metal and sometimes ferroan olivine. Eucrite-like mafic rocks are fragments of the crusts of differentiated asteroids, and most are likely from 4 Vesta
Differential diagnosis of dna viruses related to reproductive disorder on sows by multiplex-pcr technique
The newly emerged diseases caused by ASFV and PCV3 and their confirmed prevelance in Vietnam whereas most of available common commercial methods such as ELISA or realtime PCR designed for detecting single pathogen per reaction, highlighted a necessity for another diagnostic method to simultaneously detect and differentiate DNA viruses that are related to reproductive failures in sow herds including PCV2, PCV3, PPV, ASFV. In this communication, a diagnostic multiplex-PCR (mPCR) was established with pathogen-specific primers selected from previous studies and another set of primers designed for COX1 gene serving as an internal amplification control (IAC). The predicted products of PCV2, PCV3, PPV, ASFV and IAC were 702 bp, 223 bp, 380 bp, 278 bp and 463 bp, respectively. After optimization, the mPCR functioned specifically at 62°C. Results revealed the consistent detection limit at 100 copies/gene/reaction. In application, 185 serum samples from sows were used to examine the presence of the related pathogens. mPCR results showed that the mono-infection rate of PCV2, PCV3, PPV, and ASFV was 0% (0/185), 40% (74/185), 28.1% (52/185), and 48.1% (89/185), respectively. Regarding coinfection rate, the data indicated that coinfections of 2, 3 and 4 pathogens were 20%, 8.1% and 0% accordingly. In conclusion, the mPCR assay was successfully established and ready to serve for diagnosis of PCV2, PCV3, PPV and ASFV infection in reality with high specificity and sensitivity. It is a good contribution to a better understanding of the epidemiology of these diseases in swine
Stacking order dynamic in the quasi-two-dimensional dichalcogenide 1T-TaS probed with MeV ultrafast electron diffraction
Transitions between different charge density wave (CDW) states in
quasi-two-dimensional materials may be accompanied also by changes in the
inter-layer stacking of the CDW. Using MeV ultrafast electron diffraction, the
out-of-plane stacking order dynamics in the quasi-two-dimensional
dichalcogenide 1T-TaS is investigated for the first time. From the
intensity of the CDW satellites aligned around the commensurate = 1/6
characteristic stacking order, it is found out that this phase disappears with
a 0.5 ps time constant. Simultaneously, in the same experiment, the emergence
of the incommensurate phase, with a slightly slower 2.0 ps time constant, is
determined from the intensity of the CDW satellites aligned around the
incommensurate = 1/3 characteristic stacking order. These results might be
of relevance in understanding the metallic character of the laser-induced
metastable "hidden" state recently discovered in this compound
Temperature and stress in concrete cylinder specimen subject to uniform heat flux: a numerical solution
Piezoelectric nanoelectromechanical resonators based on aluminum nitride thin films
We demonstrate piezoelectrically actuated, electrically tunable nanomechanical resonators based on multilayers containing a 100-nm-thin aluminum nitride (AlN) layer. Efficient piezoelectric actuation of very high frequency fundamental flexural modes up to ~80 MHz is demonstrated at room temperature. Thermomechanical fluctuations of AlN cantilevers measured by optical interferometry enable calibration of the transduction responsivity and displacement sensitivities of the resonators. Measurements and analyses show that the 100 nm AlN layer employed has an excellent piezoelectric coefficient, d_(31)=2.4 pm/V. Doubly clamped AlN beams exhibit significant frequency tuning behavior with applied dc voltage
An experimental proposal to study collapse of the wave function in travelling-wave parametric amplifiers
The read-out of a microwave qubit state occurs using an amplification chain
that enlarges the quantum state to a signal detectable with a classical
measurement apparatus. However, at what point in this process did we really
`measure' the quantum state? In order to investigate whether the `measurement'
takes place in the amplification chain, we propose to construct a microwave
interferometer that has a parametric amplifier added to each of its arms.
Feeding the interferometer with single photons, the visibility depends on the
gain of the amplifiers and whether a measurement collapse has taken place
during the amplification process. We calculate the interference visibility as
given by standard quantum mechanics as a function of gain, insertion loss and
temperature and find a magnitude of in the limit of large gain without
taking into account losses. This number reduces to in case the insertion
loss of the amplifiers is dB at a temperature of mK. We show that if
the wave function collapses within the interferometer, we will measure a
reduced visibility compared to the prediction from standard quantum mechanics
once this collapse process sets in.Comment: 21 pages and 23 figures (including appendices and subfigures). v4:
