Quantum privacy and quantum coherence
We derive a simple relation between a quantum channel's capacity to convey
coherent (quantum) information and its usefulness for quantum cryptography.Comment: 6 pages RevTex; two short comments added 7 October 199
On statistically stationary homogeneous shear turbulence
A statistically stationary turbulence with a mean shear gradient is realized
in a flow driven by suitable body forces. The flow domain is periodic in
downstream and spanwise directions and bounded by stress free surfaces in the
normal direction. Except for small layers near the surfaces the flow is
homogeneous. The fluctuations in turbulent energy are less violent than in the
simulations using remeshing, but the anisotropy on small scales as measured by
the skewness of derivatives is similar and decays weakly with increasing
Reynolds number.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures (Figs. 3 and 4 as external JPG-Files
Determining the Variation in Certified Preconditioning Premiums for Heifers and Steer
This study applies separate hedonic models to Oklahoma Quality Beef Network data to determine differences in the value of preconditioning premiums for steers versus heifers. Results indicate that preconditioning values are generally lower for heifers but exceed steer premiums at higher weights. Separate treatment of steers and heifers is validated.Preconditioning, Steers, Heifers, Marketing,
Electron-spin beat susceptibility of excitons in semiconductor quantum wells
Recent time-resolved differential transmission and Faraday rotation
measurements of long-lived electron spin coherence in quantum wells displayed
intriguing parametric dependencies. For their understanding we formulate a
microscopic theory of the optical response of a gas of optically incoherent
excitons whose constituent electrons retain spin coherence, under a weak
magnetic field applied in the quantum well's plane. We define a spin beat
susceptibility and evaluate it in linear order of the exciton density. Our
results explain the many-body physics underlying the basic features observed in
the experimental measurements
Quantum channels with a finite memory
In this paper we study quantum communication channels with correlated noise
effects, i.e., quantum channels with memory. We derive a model for correlated
noise channels that includes a channel memory state. We examine the case where
the memory is finite, and derive bounds on the classical and quantum
capacities. For the entanglement-assisted and unassisted classical capacities
it is shown that these bounds are attainable for certain classes of channel.
Also, we show that the structure of any finite memory state is unimportant in
the asymptotic limit, and specifically, for a perfect finite-memory channel
where no nformation is lost to the environment, achieving the upper bound
implies that the channel is asymptotically noiseless.Comment: 7 Pages, RevTex, Jrnl versio
