Quantum chaos with complex, non-periodic orbits
We show that special types of orbits, which are nonperiodic and complex “saddle orbits” (SOs), describe accurately the quantal and experimental current oscillations in the resonant tunneling diode in tilted fields. The SOs solve the puzzle of broad regions of experimental oscillations where we find no real or complex periodic orbit (PO) that can explain the data. The SOs succeed in regimes involving several nonisolated POs, where PO formulas fail. We show that their contribution can, unexpectedly, decay very slowly in the classical limit
Characterization process of emission sources of spin entangled pairs with several species
Normally, sources of entangled pairs generate several species of them. This
work proposes a characterization algorithm for relatively general bipartite
entangled states, generating several standard Bell states with controlled
population as output.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figure
Teleportation algorithm using two species of entangled pairs
Teleportation algorithm assumes specific Bell states as input, but actual
sources typically generates more than one. This work presents a teleportation
algorithm for a two Bell states mixture, including remaining distortion from
previous control process.Comment: 3 pages, 2 figure
Increasing Male Patient Awareness of Contraception Options
There are many effective contraceptive methods available, yet 46% of pregnancies in Vermont are unintended. The majority of educational initiatives to increase high-efficacy contraceptive use are directed only towards women, and not their male partners. This intervention aims to help primary care providers educate young male patients on contraception, using an engaging pamphlet. Improving male patient awareness and understanding of contraception options may help partners have open and informed discussions that lead to more consistent contraceptive use.https://scholarworks.uvm.edu/fmclerk/1247/thumbnail.jp
Current and Shot Noise Measurements in a Carbon Nanotube-Based Spin Diode
Low-temperature measurements of asymmetric carbon nanotube (CNT) quantum dots
are reported. The CNTs are end-contacted with one ferromagnetic and one
normal-metal electrode. The measurements show a spin-dependent rectification of
the current caused by the asymmetry of the device. This rectification occurs
for gate voltages for which the normal-metal lead is resonant with a level of
the quantum dot. At the gate voltages at which the current is at the maximum
current, a significant decrease in the current shot noise is observed
Coulomb scattering cross-section in a 2D electron gas and production of entangled electrons
We calculate the Coulomb scattering amplitude for two electrons injected with
opposite momenta in an interacting 2DEG. We include the effect of the Fermi
liquid background by solving the 2D Bethe-Salpeter equation for the
two-particle Green function vertex, in the ladder and random phase
approximations. This result is used to discuss the feasibility of producing
spin EPR pairs in a 2DEG by collecting electrons emerging from collisions at a
pi/2 scattering angle, where only the entangled spin-singlets avoid the
destructive interference resulting from quantum indistinguishability.
Furthermore, we study the effective 2D electron-electron interaction due to the
exchange of virtual acoustic and optical phonons, and compare it to the Coulomb
interaction. Finally, we show that the 2D Kohn-Luttinger pairing instability
for the scattering electrons is negligible in a GaAs 2DEG.Comment: 19 pages, 10 figure
