    We have analyzed an efficient integration of the multi-qubit echo quantum memory into the quantum computer scheme on the atomic resonant ensembles in quantum electrodynamics cavity. Here, one atomic ensemble with controllable inhomogeneous broadening is used for the quantum memory node and other atomic ensembles characterized by the homogeneous broadening of the resonant line are used as processing nodes. We have found optimal conditions for efficient integration of multi-qubit quantum memory modified for this analyzed physical scheme and we have determined a specified shape of the self temporal modes providing a perfect reversible transfer of the photon qubits between the quantum memory node and arbitrary processing nodes. The obtained results open the way for realization of full-scale solid state quantum computing based on using the efficient multi-qubit quantum memory.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figure

    Stellar kinematics of X-ray bright massive elliptical galaxies

    We discuss a simple and fast method for estimating masses of early-type galaxies from optical data and compare the results with X-ray derived masses. The optical method relies only on the most basic observables such as the surface brightness I(R)I(R) and the line-of-sight velocity dispersion σp(R)\sigma_p(R) profiles and provides an anisotropy-independent estimate of the galaxy circular speed VcV_c. The mass-anisotropy degeneracy is effectively overcome by evaluating VcV_c at a characteristic radius RsweetR_{\rm sweet} defined from {\it local} properties of observed profiles. The sweet radius RsweetR_{\rm sweet} is expected to lie close to R2R_2, where I(R)R2I(R) \propto R^{-2}, and not far from the effective radius ReffR_{\rm eff}. We apply the method to a sample of five X-ray bright elliptical galaxies observed with the 6-m telescope BTA-6 in Russia. We then compare the optical VcV_c-estimate with the X-ray derived value, and discuss possible constraints on the non-thermal pressure in the hot gas and configuration of stellar orbits. We find that the average ratio of the optical VcV_c-estimate to the X-ray one is equal to 0.98\approx 0.98 with 11%11 \% scatter, i.e. there is no evidence for the large non-thermal pressure contribution in the gas at Rsweet\sim R_{\rm sweet}. From analysis of the Lick indices Hβ\beta, Mgb, Fe5270 and Fe5335, we calculate the mass of the stellar component within the sweet radius. We conclude that a typical dark matter fraction inside RsweetR_{\rm sweet} in the sample galaxies is 60%\sim 60\% for the Salpeter IMF and 75%\sim 75 \% for the Kroupa IMF.Comment: accepted for publication in MNRA
