Power vs. Spectrum 2-D Sensing in Energy Harvesting Cognitive Radio Networks
Energy harvester based cognitive radio is a promising solution to address the
shortage of both spectrum and energy. Since the spectrum access and power
consumption patterns are interdependent, and the power value harvested from
certain environmental sources are spatially correlated, the new power dimension
could provide additional information to enhance the spectrum sensing accuracy.
In this paper, the Markovian behavior of the primary users is considered, based
on which we adopt a hidden input Markov model to specify the primary vs.
secondary dynamics in the system. Accordingly, we propose a 2-D spectrum and
power (harvested) sensing scheme to improve the primary user detection
performance, which is also capable of estimating the primary transmit power
level. Theoretical and simulated results demonstrate the effectiveness of the
proposed scheme, in term of the performance gain achieved by considering the
new power dimension. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to
jointly consider the spectrum and power dimensions for the cognitive primary
user detection problem
Multiparty quantum secret splitting and quantum state sharing
A protocol for multiparty quantum secret splitting is proposed with an
ordered EPR pairs and Bell state measurements. It is secure and has the
high intrinsic efficiency and source capacity as almost all the instances are
useful and each EPR pair carries two bits of message securely. Moreover, we
modify it for multiparty quantum state sharing of an arbitrary -particle
entangled state based on quantum teleportation with only Bell state
measurements and local unitary operations which make this protocol more
convenient in a practical application than others.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure. The revision of the manuscript appeared in PLA.

Quantum logical gates with four-level SQUIDs coupled to a superconducting resonator
We propose a way for realizing a two-qubit controlled phase gate with
superconducting quantum interference devices (SQUIDs) coupled to a
superconducting resonator. In this proposal, the two lowest levels of each
SQUID serve as the logical states and two intermediate levels of each SQUID are
used for the gate realization. We show that neither adjustment of SQUID level
spacings during the gate operation nor uniformity in SQUID parameters is
required by this proposal. In addition, this proposal does not require the
adiabatic passage or a second-order detuning and thus the gate is much faster.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
