Fast quantum information transfer with superconducting flux qubits coupled to a cavity
We present a way to realize quantum information transfer with superconducting
flux qubits coupled to a cavity. Because only resonant qubit-cavity interaction
and resonant qubit-pulse interaction are applied, the information transfer can
be performed much faster, when compared with the previous proposals. This
proposal does not require adjustment of the qubit level spacings during the
operation. Moreover, neither uniformity in the device parameters nor exact
placement of qubits in the cavity is needed by this proposal.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
Nuclear spin relaxation induced by a mechanical resonator
We report on measurements of the spin lifetime of nuclear spins strongly
coupled to a micromechanical cantilever as used in magnetic resonance force
microscopy. We find that the rotating-frame correlation time of the statistical
nuclear polarization is set by the magneto-mechanical noise originating from
the thermal motion of the cantilever. Evidence is based on the effect of three
parameters: (1) the magnetic field gradient (the coupling strength), (2) the
Rabi frequency of the spins (the transition energy), and (3) the temperature of
the low-frequency mechanical modes. Experimental results are compared to
relaxation rates calculated from the spectral density of the magneto-mechanical
noise.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Dynamical Properties of a Growing Surface on a Random Substrate
The dynamics of the discrete Gaussian model for the surface of a crystal
deposited on a disordered substrate is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations.
The mobility of the growing surface was studied as a function of a small
driving force and temperature . A continuous transition is found from
high-temperature phase characterized by linear response to a low-temperature
phase with nonlinear, temperature dependent response. In the simulated regime
of driving force the numerical results are in general agreement with recent
dynamic renormalization group predictions.Comment: 10 pages, latex, 3 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. E (RC
Phase separation and vortex states in binary mixture of Bose-Einstein condensates in the trapping potentials with displaced centers
The system of two simultaneously trapped codensates consisting of
atoms in two different hyperfine states is investigated theoretically in the
case when the minima of the trapping potentials are displaced with respect to
each other. It is shown that the small shift of the minima of the trapping
potentials leads to the considerable displacement of the centers of mass of the
condensates, in agreement with the experiment. It is also shown that the
critical angular velocities of the vortex states of the system drastically
depend on the shift and the relative number of particles in the condensates,
and there is a possibility to exchange the vortex states between condensates by
shifting the centers of the trapping potentials.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Force-detected nuclear magnetic resonance: Recent advances and future challenges
We review recent efforts to detect small numbers of nuclear spins using
magnetic resonance force microscopy. Magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM)
is a scanning probe technique that relies on the mechanical measurement of the
weak magnetic force between a microscopic magnet and the magnetic moments in a
sample. Spurred by the recent progress in fabricating ultrasensitive force
detectors, MRFM has rapidly improved its capability over the last decade. Today
it boasts a spin sensitivity that surpasses conventional, inductive nuclear
magnetic resonance detectors by about eight orders of magnitude. In this review
we touch on the origins of this technique and focus on its recent application
to nanoscale nuclear spin ensembles, in particular on the imaging of nanoscale
objects with a three-dimensional (3D) spatial resolution better than 10 nm. We
consider the experimental advances driving this work and highlight the
underlying physical principles and limitations of the method. Finally, we
discuss the challenges that must be met in order to advance the technique
towards single nuclear spin sensitivity -- and perhaps -- to 3D microscopy of
molecules with atomic resolution.Comment: 15 pages & 11 figure
Enhanced heat capacity and a new temperature instability in superfluid He-4 in the presence of a constant heat flux near T-lambda
We present the first experimental evidence that the heat capacity of superfluid 4He, at temperatures very close to the lambda point Tλ, is enhanced by a constant heat flux Q. The heat capacity at constant Q, CQ, is predicted to diverge at a temperature Tc(Q)<Tλ at which superflow becomes unstable. In agreement with previous measurements, we find that dissipation enters our cell at a temperature, TDAS(Q), below the theoretical value, Tc(Q). We argue that TDAS(Q) can be accounted for by a temperature instability at the cell wall, and is therefore distinct from Tc(Q). The excess heat capacity we measure has the predicted scaling behavior as a function of T and Q, but it is much larger than predicted by current theory
Similarity Analysis of Nonlinear Equations and Bases of Finite Wavelength Solitons
We introduce a generalized similarity analysis which grants a qualitative
description of the localised solutions of any nonlinear differential equation.
This procedure provides relations between amplitude, width, and velocity of the
solutions, and it is shown to be useful in analysing nonlinear structures like
solitons, dublets, triplets, compact supported solitons and other patterns. We
also introduce kink-antikink compact solutions for a nonlinear-nonlinear
dispersion equation, and we construct a basis of finite wavelength functions
having self-similar properties.Comment: 18 pages Latex, 6 figures ep
Co-ordination between Rashba spin-orbital interaction and space charge effect and enhanced spin injection into semiconductors
We consider the effect of the Rashba spin-orbital interaction and space
charge in a ferromagnet-insulator/semiconductor/insulator-ferromagnet junction
where the spin current is severely affected by the doping, band structure and
charge screening in the semiconductor. In diffusion region, if the the
resistance of the tunneling barriers is comparable to the semiconductor
resistance, the magnetoresistance of this junction can be greatly enhanced
under appropriate doping by the co-ordination between the Rashba effect and
screened Coulomb interaction in the nonequilibrium transport processes within
Hartree approximation.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Binary Bose-Einstein Condensate Mixtures in Weakly and Strongly Segregated Phases
We perform a mean-field study of the binary Bose-Einstein condensate mixtures
as a function of the mutual repulsive interaction strength. In the phase
segregated regime, we find that there are two distinct phases: the weakly
segregated phase characterized by a `penetration depth' and the strongly
segregated phase characterized by a healing length. In the weakly segregated
phase the symmetry of the shape of each condensate will not take that of the
trap because of the finite surface tension, but its total density profile still
does. In the strongly segregated phase even the total density profile takes a
different symmetry from that of the trap because of the mutual exclusion of the
condensates. The lower critical condensate-atom number to observe the complete
phase segregation is discussed. A comparison to recent experimental data
suggests that the weakly segregated phase has been observed.Comment: minor change
Magnetic Field Induced Insulating Phases at Large
Exploring a backgated low density two-dimensional hole sample in the large
regime we found a surprisingly rich phase diagram. At the highest
densities, beside the , 2/3, and 2/5 fractional quantum Hall states,
we observe both of the previously reported high field insulating and reentrant
insulating phases. As the density is lowered, the reentrant insulating phase
initially strengthens, then it unexpectedly starts weakening until it
completely dissapears. At the lowest densities the terminal quantum Hall state
moves from to . The intricate behavior of the insulating
phases can be explained by a non-monotonic melting line in the -
