Computer simulation and analysis of production line with two unreliable full batch machines and a finite buffer
Thesis (S.B.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Mechanical Engineering, 2006.Includes bibliographical references (leaf 34).This paper investigates computer simulations of deterministic and exponential models of a production line with full-batch processing and a finite buffer in order to validate the theoretical models already developed, and to gain more insight to the production line behavior through the simulations. The steady-state overall production rate is the performance measure that is used to compare systems. The effects of buffer size, repair rate, and machine size on the production rate; the conditions of ergodicity; and the differences between the deterministic model and the exponential model are discussed.by Ying Zheng.S.B
The controlled teleportation of an arbitrary two-atom entangled state in driven cavity QED
In this paper, we propose a scheme for the controlled teleportation of an
arbitrary two-atom entangled state
in driven cavity QED.
An arbitrary two-atom entangled state can be teleported perfectly with the help
of the cooperation of the third side by constructing a three-atom GHZ entangled
state as the controlled channel. This scheme does not involve apparent (or
direct) Bell-state measurement and is insensitive to the cavity decay and the
thermal field. The probability of the success in our scheme is 1.0.Comment: 10 page
Distributed phase-covariant cloning with atomic ensembles via quantum Zeno dynamics
We propose an interesting scheme for distributed orbital state quantum
cloning with atomic ensembles based on the quantum Zeno dynamics. These atomic
ensembles which consist of identical three-level atoms are trapped in distant
cavities connected by a single-mode integrated optical star coupler. These
qubits can be manipulated through appropriate modulation of the coupling
constants between atomic ensemble and classical field, and the cavity decay can
be largely suppressed as the number of atoms in the ensemble qubits increases.
The fidelity of each cloned qubit can be obtained with analytic result. The
present scheme provides a new way to construct the quantum communication
network.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Solvable model of a strongly-driven micromaser
We study the dynamics of a micromaser where the pumping atoms are strongly
driven by a resonant classical field during their transit through the cavity
mode. We derive a master equation for this strongly-driven micromaser,
involving the contributions of the unitary atom-field interactions and the
dissipative effects of a thermal bath. We find analytical solutions for the
temporal evolution and the steady-state of this system by means of phase-space
techniques, providing an unusual solvable model of an open quantum system,
including pumping and decoherence. We derive closed expressions for all
relevant expectation values, describing the statistics of the cavity field and
the detected atomic levels. The transient regime shows the build-up of mixtures
of mesoscopic fields evolving towards a superpoissonian steady-state field
that, nevertheless, yields atomic correlations that exhibit stronger
nonclassical features than the conventional micromaser.Comment: 9 pages, 16 figures. Submitted for publicatio
BCS theory for s+g-wave superconductivity borocarbides Y(Lu)NiBC
The s+g mixed gap function \Delta_k=\Delta {[(1-x)-x\sin^4\theta\cos4\phi]}
(x: weight of g-wave component) has been studied within BCS theory. By suitable
consideration of the pairing interaction, we have confirmed that the
coexistence of s- and g-wave, as well as the state with equal s and g
amplitudes (i.e., x=1/2) may be stable. This provides the semi-phenomenological
theory for the s+g-wave superconductivity with point nodes which has been
observed experimentally in borocarbides YNi_2B_2C and possibly in LuNi_2B_2C.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Conditional quantum logic using two atomic qubits
In this paper we propose and analyze a feasible scheme where the detection of
a single scattered photon from two trapped atoms or ions performs a conditional
unitary operation on two qubits. As examples we consider the preparation of all
four Bell states, the reverse operation that is a Bell measurement, and a CNOT
gate. We study the effect of atomic motion and multiple scattering, by
evaluating Bell inequalities violations, and by calculating the CNOT gate
fidelity.Comment: 23 pages, 8 figures in 11 file
Scheme for the implementation of a universal quantum cloning machine via cavity-assisted atomic collisions in cavity QED
We propose a scheme to implement the universal quantum cloning
machine of Buzek et.al [Phys. Rev.A 54, 1844(1996)] in the context of cavity
QED. The scheme requires cavity-assisted collision processes between atoms,
which cross through nonresonant cavity fields in the vacuum states. The cavity
fields are only virtually excited to face the decoherence problem. That's why
the requirements on the cavity quality factor can be loosened.Comment: to appear in PR
