Generating Sustained Coherence in a Quantum Memory for Retrieval at Times of Quantum Revival

We study the time degradation of quantum information stored in a quantum memory device under a dissipative environment in a parameter range which is experimentally relevant. The quantum memory under consideration is comprised of an optomechanical system with additional Kerr nonlinearity in the optical mode and an anharmonic mechanical oscillator with quadratic nonlinearity. Time degradation is monitored, both in terms of loss of coherence, which is analyzed with the help of Wigner functions, as well as in terms of loss of amplitude of the original state, studied as a function of time. While our time trajectories explore the degree to which the stored information degrades depending upon the variation in values of various parameters involved, we suggest a set of parameters for which the original information can be retrieved without degradation. We identify a very interesting situation where the role played by the nonlinearity is insignificant, and the system behaves as if the information is stored in a linear medium. For this case, the information retrieval is independent of the coherence revival time and can be retrieved at any instant during the time evolution

Clastogenic effects of synthetic food dyes using <i>Salmonella typhimurium </i>and <i>Allium cepa </i>test systems

547-550The present study embodied the mutagenic/genotoxic potential of two most commonly used synthetic food dyes, viz., sky blue and orange red, employing Ames Salmonella histidine reversion point mutation assay and Allium cepa root chromosomal aberration assay. It was observed that sky blue and orange red dyes showed 6-fold increase in TA100 strain from the spontaneous count, whereas they showed non-mutagenic response in TA98 tester strain of S. typhimurium. In the chromosomal aberration assay, sky blue and orange red dyes induced 50.90 and 64.48% total aberrant cells, respectively. </span

Dynamics of resonant energy transfer in one-dimensional chain of Rydberg atoms

We study resonant energy transfer in a one-dimensional chain of two to five atoms by analyzing time-dependent probabilities as function of their interatomic distances. The dynamics of the system are first investigated by including the nearest-neighbour interactions and then accounting for all next-neighbour interactions. We find that inclusion of nearest-neighbour interactions in the Hamiltonian for three atoms chain exhibits periodicity during the energy transfer dynamics; however, this behavior displays aperiodicity with the all-neighbour interactions. It shows for the equidistant chains of four and five atoms the peaks are always irregular but regular peaks are retrieved when the inner atoms are placed closer than the atoms at both the ends. In this arrangement, the energy transfer swings between the atoms at both ends with very low probability of finding an atom at the center. This phenomenon resembles with quantum notion of Newton’s cradle. We also find out the maximum distance up to which energy could be transferred within the typical lifetimes of the Rydberg states

Efficient Load Forecasting Optimized by Fuzzy Programming and OFDM Transmission

Today, it is very important for developed and developing countries to consume electricity more efficiently. Though developed countries do not want to waste electricity and developing countries cannot waste electricity. This leads to the concept: load forecasting. This paper is written for the short-term load forecasting on daily basis, hourly, or half-hourly basis or real time load forecasting. But as we move from daily to hourly basis of load forecasting, the error of load forecasting increases. The analysis of this paper is done on previous year's load data records of an engineering college in India using the concept of fuzzy methods. The analysis has been done on Mamdani-type membership functions and OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) transmission scheme. To reduce the error of load forecasting, fuzzy method has been used with Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and OFDM transmission is used to get data from outer world and send outputs to outer world accurately and quickly. The error has been reduced to a considerable level in the range of 2-3%. For further reducing the error, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) can be used with Reed-Solomon (RS) encoding. Further studies are going on with Fuzzy Regression methods to reduce the error more

Fetal humeral diaphyseal length in the second trimester – A radiographic observational study among Indian population

Objectives: The present study was performed to provide a normal reference range for humerus diaphysis length at the second trimester of pregnancy in an Indian population. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was performed on 25 radiographs of aborted normal human fetuses of gestational age (GA) between 13th and 28th weeks. The radiographs were used to measure the maximum length of the humerus using a vernier calliper. Data were collected, tabulated, and statistically analyzed. Results: The mean diaphyseal length of humerus at the fourth lunar month was 22.18 ± 6.59 mm, and at the seventh lunar month, it was 41.39 ± 10.08 mm. Simple linear regression analysis shows a strongly significant linear relationship of humerus length with GA, biparietal diameter, head circumference, and abdomen circumference. Conclusion: We have provided a normal reference range for humerus diaphysis length at the second trimester of pregnancy in an Indian population
