Robust concurrent remote entanglement between two superconducting qubits
Entangling two remote quantum systems which never interact directly is an
essential primitive in quantum information science and forms the basis for the
modular architecture of quantum computing. When protocols to generate these
remote entangled pairs rely on using traveling single photon states as carriers
of quantum information, they can be made robust to photon losses, unlike
schemes that rely on continuous variable states. However, efficiently detecting
single photons is challenging in the domain of superconducting quantum circuits
because of the low energy of microwave quanta. Here, we report the realization
of a robust form of concurrent remote entanglement based on a novel microwave
photon detector implemented in the superconducting circuit quantum
electrodynamics (cQED) platform of quantum information. Remote entangled pairs
with a fidelity of are generated at Hz. Our experiment
opens the way for the implementation of the modular architecture of quantum
computation with superconducting qubits.Comment: Main paper: 7 pages, 4 figures; Appendices: 14 pages, 9 figure

ABSTRACT Water tanks are used to store water and are designed as crack free structures, to eliminate any leakage. In this paper design of two types of circular water tank resting on ground is presented. Both reinforced concrete (RC) and prestressed concrete (PSC) alternatives are considered in the design and are compared considering the total cost of the tank. These water tank are subjected to the same type of capacity and dimensions. As an objective function with the properties of tank that are tank capacity, width &length etc
Ocular hemodynamic alterations in patients of Type 2 diabetes mellitus
Purpose: To study ocular blood flow velocity in the ophthalmic artery (OA), central retinal artery (CRA), and posterior ciliary artery in patients with Type 2 diabetes. Materials and Methods: The retrobulbar circulation in 46 eyes of Type 2 diabetic patients was compared with age-matched 21 nondiabetic eyes. The diabetic subjects were further divided into diabetics with no-clinical retinopathy (n = 24) and with either preproliferative or proliferative retinopathy (n = 22). Philips HD11XE machine was used for performing Color Doppler imaging. Results: The end-diastolic velocity (EDV) in OA was 3.21 cm/s in the preproliferative/proliferative group as compared to 6.0 and 8.5 cm/s in no-retinopathy and control group, respectively. The peak systemic velocities and EDVs of CRA in the diabetic group were significantly lower than those of normal subjects regardless of the retinopathy. The resistivity index (RI) of CRA was 0.81 in diabetic group and 0.70 in control group, which was statistically significant. Conclusion: The study showed reduced blood flow velocity and increased RI in Type 2 diabetic patients as compared to normal healthy individuals. There are significant changes noted in retrobulbar flow in patients with diabetic retinopathy as compared to patients without retinopathy
CT evaluation of flank pain and suspected urolithiasis
Background Acute renal colic is the most common clinical indication among patients seen in emergency departments. Studies have shown that 2% to 3% of people will experience an episode of acute renal colic during their lifetime. Objective The objective of this study was to create and pilot test a single efficient medical imaging examination that can assess the entire urinary system and the surrounding organs’ parenchyma for flank pain, suspected urolithiasis or both. Methods Participants were scanned using a single-slice computed tomography unit (Secura, Philips Healthcare, Boston, Massachusetts). A total of 57 patients who were suffering from flank pain, suspected of having urinary stones or both participated in the study. Results and Conclusion The results indicate that nonenhanced CT scans facilitate more accurate assessments in the diagnosis of acute flank pain and urolithiasis than other medical imaging evaluations such as KUB radiographs (kidneys, ureters and bladder ), intravenous urography and ultrasonography. In addition, the current study showed that patients did not experience any complications following the use of water as an oral contrast media
