    Quantitative Analysis of Photo-Thermal Stability of CdSe/CdS Core-Shell Nanocrystals

    Full text link
    We report here investigations on the instability in luminescence of bare (TOPO-stabilized) and CdS- capped CdSe particles under infrared radiation. During photo-thermal annealing the formation of oxide layers on the surfaces of the particles create defect states. Consequently there is a reduction in particle size. These two effects control the light output from the samples. We make a quantitative comparison of the stability of bare CdSe and core-shell type CdSe-CdS particles under photo-annealing. Using diffusion theory, we show that the volume of the oxide layer, adhered to the crystallites, play a dominant role in controlling the luminosity of the particles.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure

    Information-Theoretic Meaning of Quantum Information Flow and Its Applications to Amplitude Amplification Algorithms

    Full text link
    The advantages of quantum information processing are in many cases obtained as consequences of quantum interactions, especially for computational tasks where two-qubit interactions are essential. In this work, we establish the framework of analyzing and quantifying loss or gain of information on a quantum system when the system interacts with its environment. We show that the information flow, the theoretical method of characterizing (non-)Markovianity of quantum dynamics, corresponds to the rate of the minimum uncertainty about the system given quantum side information. Thereafter, we analyze the information exchange among subsystems that are under the performance of quantum algorithms, in particular, the amplitude amplification algorithms where the computational process relies fully on quantum evolution. Different realizations of the algorithm are considered, such as i)quantum circuits, ii) analog computation, and iii) adiabatic computation. It is shown that, in all the cases, our formalism provides insights about the process of amplifying the amplitude from the information flow or leakage on the subsystems.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, close to the published versio

    Study of Electromagnetically Induced Transparency using long-lived Singlet States

    The long-lived singlet states are useful to study a variety of interesting quantum phenomena. In this work we study electromagnetically induced transparency using a two-qubit system. The singlet state acts as a `dark state' which does not absorb a probe radiation in the presence of a control radiation. Further we demonstrate that the simultaneous irradiation of probe and control radiations acts as a dynamical decoupling preserving the singlet state at higher correlation for longer durations.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

    Investigating Citation Linkage as a Sentence Similarity Measurement Task using Deep Learning

    Get PDF
    Research publications reflect advancements in the corresponding research domain. In these research publications, scientists often use citations to bolster the presented research findings and portray the improvements that come with these findings, at the same time, to make the contents more understandable to the audience by navigating the flow of information. In the science domain, a citation refers to the document from where this information originates but doesn\u27t specify the text span that is actually being cited. A more precise reference would indicate the text being referenced. This thesis develops a framework which can create a linkage between the citing sentences from the ongoing research article and the related cited sentences from the corresponding referenced documents. This citation linkage problem has been modeled as a semantic relatedness task where given a citing sentence the framework pairs this citing sentence with each sentence from the reference document and then tries to determine which sentence pair is semantically similar and which pair is not. Construction of the citation linkage framework involves corpus creation and utilizing deep-learning models for semantic similarity measurement

    Joint distribution in residue classes of families of polynomially-defined additive functions

    Full text link
    Let g1,,gMg_1, \dots , g_M be additive functions for which there exist nonconstant polynomials G1,,GMG_1, \dots , G_M satisfying gi(p)=Gi(p)g_i(p) = G_i(p) for all primes pp and all i{1,,M}i \in \{1, \dots , M\}. Under fairly general and nearly optimal hypotheses, we show that the functions g1,,gMg_1, \dots , g_M are jointly equidistributed among the residue classes to moduli qq varying uniformly up to a fixed but arbitrary power of logx\log x. Thus, we obtain analogues of the Siegel-Walfisz Theorem for primes in arithmetic progressions, but with primes replaced by values of such additive functions. Our results partially extend work of Delange from fixed moduli to varying moduli, and also generalize recent work done for a single additive function.Comment: 34 page

    Joint distribution in residue classes of families of polynomially-defined multiplicative functions

    Full text link
    We study the distribution of families of multiplicative functions among the coprime residue classes to moduli varying uniformly in a wide range, obtaining analogues of the Siegel--Walfisz Theorem for large classes of multiplicative functions. We extend a criterion of Narkiewicz for families of multiplicative functions that can be controlled by values of polynomials at the first few prime powers, and establish results that are completely uniform in the modulus as well as optimal in most parameters and hypotheses. This also significantly generalizes and improves upon previous work done for a single such function in specialized settings. Our results have applications for most interesting multiplicative functions, such as the Euler totient function ϕ(n)\phi(n), the sum-of-divisors function σ(n)\sigma(n), the coefficients of the Eisenstein series, etc., and families of these functions. For instance, an application of our results shows that for any fixed ϵ>0\epsilon>0, the functions ϕ(n)\phi(n) and σ(n)\sigma(n) are jointly asymptotically equidistributed among the reduced residue classes to moduli qq coprime to 66 varying uniformly up to (logx)(1ϵ)α(q)(\log x)^{(1-\epsilon)\alpha(q)}, where α(q)=q(3)/(1)\alpha(q) = \prod_{\ell \mid q} (\ell-3)/(\ell-1); furthermore, the coprimality restriction is necessary and the range of qq is essentially optimal. One of the primary themes behind our arguments is the quantitative detection of a certain mixing (or ergodicity) phenomenon in multiplicative groups via methods belonging to the `anatomy of integers', but we also rely heavily on more pure analytic arguments (such as a suitable modification of the Landau-Selberg-Delange method), -- whilst using several tools from arithmetic and algebraic geometry, and from linear algebra over rings as well.Comment: 66 page

    Exploring the Effect of DNA Noise and Current on the Berry Phase Effects

    Get PDF
    We have studied here that bend and twist are not two separate entities but one depends on the other, also other hand entanglement of two DNA molecule inserting spin-echo to one of them marks the transform of Berry phase that can be exact as a calculate of entanglement. This formalism helps us to depict the thermodynamic entropy as entanglement entropy and the entanglement of spin can be used as a resource for genetic in order. This implies that the transcription of genetic in order can be considered in the structure of quantum in sequence hypothesis
