Effect of photoions on the line shapes of the F\"orster resonance and microwave transitions in cold rubidium Rydberg atoms
Experiments on the spectroscopy of the F\"orster resonance Rb(37P)+Rb(37P) ->
Rb(37S)+Rb(38S) and microwave transitions nP -> n'S, n'D between Rydberg states
of cold Rb atoms in a magneto-optical trap have been performed. Under ordinary
conditions, all spectra exhibited a 2-3 MHz line width independently of the
interaction time of atoms with each other or with microwave radiation, although
the ultimate resonance width should be defined by the inverse interaction time.
Analysis of the experimental conditions has shown that the main source of the
line broadening was the inhomogeneous electric field of cold photoions appeared
at the excitation of initial Rydberg nP states by broadband pulsed laser
radiation. Using an additional pulse of the electric field, which rapidly
removed the photoions after the laser pulse, lead to a substantial narrowing of
the microwave and F\"orster resonances. An analysis of various sources of the
line broadening in cold Rydberg atoms has been conducted.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figure
Applicability of Rydberg atoms to quantum computers
Applicability of Rydberg atoms to quantum computers is examined from
experimental point of view. In many theoretical proposals appeared recently,
excitation of atoms into highly excited Rydberg states was considered as a way
to achieve quantum entanglement in cold atomic ensembles via dipole-dipole
interaction that could be strong for Rydberg atoms. Appropriate conditions to
realize a conditional quantum phase gate have been analyzed. We also present
the results of modeling experiments on microwave spectroscopy of single- and
multi-atom excitations at the one-photon 37S-37P and two-photon 37S-38S
transitions in an ensemble of a few sodium Rydberg atoms. The microwave spectra
were investigated for various final states of the ensemble initially prepared
in its ground state. The quantum NOT operation with single atoms was found to
be affected by the Doppler effect and fluctuations of the microwave field. The
spectrum of full excitation of several Rydberg atoms was much narrower than
that of a single atom. This effect might be useful for the high-resolution
spectroscopy. The results may be also applied to the studies on collective
laser excitation of ground-state atoms aiming to realize quantum gates.Comment: 12 pages, 8 EPS figures, Revtex4. Old references corrected, new adde
The Model of Unreliable Elements (Human Resources) Intellectual Management System on the Basis of Their Psychological and Personal Characteristics
The Article suggests a possible approach to creation of the Intellectual Management System for human
resources and personnel (during their professional tasks solving), and that could consider personal
characteristics and psychological condition of the human resources as an āunreliableā element. The Article
describes some elements of the Intellectual Management System: professional activity model and āunreliableā
element (human resources) model

Value-at-risk (Var) Application at Hypothetical Portfolios in Jakarta Islamic Index
The paper is an exploratory study to apply the method of historical simulation based on the concept of Value at Risk on hypothetical portfolios on Jakarta Islamic Index (JII). Value at Risk is a tool to measure a portfolio's exposure to market risk. We construct four portfolios based on the frequencies of the companies in Jakarta Islamic Index on the period of 1 January 2008 to 2 August 2010. The portfolio A has 12 companies, Portfolio B has 9 companies, portfolio C has 6 companies and portfolio D has 4 companies. We put the initial investment equivalent to USD 100 and use the rate of 1 USD=Rp 9500. The result of historical simulation applied in the four portfolios shows significant increasing risk on the year 2008 compared to 2009 and 2010. The bigger number of the member in one portfolio also affects the VaR compared to smaller member. The level of confidence 99% also shows bigger loss compared to 95%. The historical simulation shows the simplest method to estimate the event of increasing risk in Jakarta Islamic Index during the Global Crisis 2008
Intellectual System Diagnostics Glaucoma
Glaucoma is a chronic eye disease that can lead to permanent vision loss. However, glaucoma is a difficult disease to diagnose because there is no pattern in the distribution of nerve fibers in the ocular fundus. Spectral analysis of the ocular fundus images was performed using the Eidos intelligent system. From the ACRIMA eye image database, 90.7% of healthy eye images were recognized with an average similarity score of 0.588 and 74.42% of glaucoma eye images with an average similarity score of 0.558. The reliability of eye image recognition can be achieved by increasing the number of digitized parameters of eye images obtained, for example, by optical coherence tomography. The research contribution is the digital processing of fundus graphic images by the intelligent system āEidosā. The scientific contribution lies in the automation of the glaucoma diagnosis process using digitized data. The results of the study can be used at medical faculties of universities to carry out automated diagnostics of glaucoma
Effect of finite detection efficiency on the observation of the dipole-dipole interaction of a few Rydberg atoms
We have developed a simple analytical model describing multi-atom signals
that are measured in experiments on dipole-dipole interaction at resonant
collisions of a few Rydberg atoms. It has been shown that finite efficiency of
the selective field-ionization detector leads to the mixing up of the spectra
of resonant collisions registered for various numbers of Rydberg atoms. The
formulas which help to estimate an appropriate mean Rydberg atom number for a
given detection efficiency are presented. We have found that a measurement of
the relation between the amplitudes of collisional resonances observed in the
one- and two-atom signals provides a straightforward determination of the
absolute detection efficiency and mean Rydberg atom number. We also performed a
testing experiment on resonant collisions in a small excitation volume of a
sodium atomic beam. The resonances observed for 1 to 4 detected Rydberg atoms
have been analyzed and compared with theory.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures; equations 8,9,18,19,23,26-31, figures 3 and
