Comment on "Single-mode excited entangled coherent states"
In Xu and Kuang (\textit{J. Phys. A: Math. Gen.} 39 (2006) L191), the authors
claim that, for single-mode excited entangled coherent states , \textquotedblleft the photon excitations lead to the
decrease of the concurrence in the strong field regime of and
the concurrence tends to zero when ". This is wrong.Comment: 4 apges, 2 figures, submitted to JPA 15 April 200
Survey of grid resource monitoring and prediction strategies.
This literature focuses on grid resource monitoring and prediction, representative monitoring and prediction systems are analyzed and evaluated, then monitoring and prediction strategies for grid resources are summarized and discussed, recommendations are also given for building monitoring sensors and prediction models. During problem definition, one-step-ahead prediction is extended to multi-step-ahead prediction, which is then modeled with computational intelligence algorithms such as neural network and support vector regression. Numerical simulations are performed on benchmark data sets, while comparative results on accuracy and efficiency indicate that support vector regression models achieve superior performance. Our efforts can be utilized as direction for building online monitoring and prediction system for grid resources
Nonequilibrium Phase Transitions of Vortex Matter in Three-Dimensional Layered Superconductors
Large-scale simulations on three-dimensional (3D) frustrated anisotropic XY
model have been performed to study the nonequilibrium phase transitions of
vortex matter in weak random pinning potential in layered superconductors. The
first-order phase transition from the moving Bragg glass to the moving smectic
is clarified, based on thermodynamic quantities. A washboard noise is observed
in the moving Bragg glass in 3D simulations for the first time. It is found
that the activation of the vortex loops play the dominant role in the dynamical
melting at high drive.Comment: 3 pages,5 figure
Coherent population trapping in a dressed two-level atom via a bichromatic field
We show theoretically that by applying a bichromatic electromagnetic field,
the dressed states of a monochromatically driven two-level atom can be pumped
into a coherent superposition termed as dressed-state coherent population
trapping. Such effect can be viewed as a new doorknob to manipulate a two-level
system via its control over dressed-state populations. Application of this
effect in the precision measurement of Rabi frequency, the unexpected
population inversion and lasing without inversion are discussed to demonstrate
such controllability.Comment: 14 pages, 6 figure
Efficient identity-based broadcast encryption without random oracles.
We propose a new efficient identity-based broadcast encryption scheme without random oracles and prove that it achieves selective identity, chosen plaintext security. Our scheme is constructed based on bilinear Diffie-Hellman inversion assumption and it is a good efficient hybrid encryption scheme, which achieves O(1)-size ciphertexts, public parameters and constant size private keys. In our scheme, either ciphertexts or public parameters has no relation with the number of receivers, moreover, both the encryption and decryption only require one pairing computation. Compared with other identity-based broadcast encryption schemes, our scheme has comparable properties, but with a better efficiency
Universal Quantum Degeneracy Point for Superconducting Qubits
The quantum degeneracy point approach [D. Vion et al., Science 296, 886
(2002)] effectively protects superconducting qubits from low-frequency noise
that couples with the qubits as transverse noise. However, low-frequency noise
in superconducting qubits can originate from various mechanisms and can couple
with the qubits either as transverse or as longitudinal noise. Here, we present
a quantum circuit containing a universal quantum degeneracy point that protects
an encoded qubit from arbitrary low-frequency noise. We further show that
universal quantum logic gates can be performed on the encoded qubit with high
gate fidelity. The proposed scheme is robust against small parameter spreads
due to fabrication errors in the superconducting qubits.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figure

Structure-Induced Reversible Anionic Redox Activity in Na Layered Oxide Cathode
Anionic redox reaction (ARR) in lithium- and sodium-ion batteries is under hot discussion, mainly regarding how oxygen anion participates and to what extent oxygen can be reversibly oxidized and reduced. Here, a P3-type Na0.6[Li0.2Mn0.8]O2 with reversible capacity from pure ARR was studied. The interlayer O-O distance (peroxo-like O-O dimer, 2.506(3) Ã…), associated with oxidization of oxygen anions, was directly detected by using a neutron total scattering technique. Different from Li2RuO3 or Li2IrO3 with strong metal-oxygen (M-O) bonding, for P3-type Na0.6[Li0.2Mn0.8]O2 with relatively weak Mn-O covalent bonding, crystal structure factors might play an even more important role in stabilizing the oxidized species, as both Li and Mn ions are immobile in the structure and thus may inhibit the irreversible transformation of the oxidized species to O2 gas. Utilization of anionic redox reaction (ARR) on oxygen has been considered as an effective way to promote the charge-discharge capacity of the layered oxide cathodes for lithium- or sodium-ion batteries. The detailed mechanism of ARR, in particular how crystal structure affects and coordinates with the ARR, is not yet well understood. In the present work, a combination of X-ray and neutron total scattering measurements has been performed to study the structure of the prototype P3-type layered Na0.6[Li0.2Mn0.8]O2 with pure ARR. Unique structural characteristics, rather than prevailing knowledge of covalency of metal-oxygen, enable the stabilization of the crystal structure of Na0.6[Li0.2Mn0.8]O2 along with the ARR. This work suggests that reversible ARR can be manipulated by proper structure designs, thus to achieve high lithium or sodium storage in layered oxide cathodes. For P3-type Na0.6[Li0.2Mn0.8]O2 with relatively weak Mn-O covalent bonding, crystal structure factors play an important role in stabilizing the oxidized species, inhibiting the irreversible transformation of the oxidized species to O2 gas. The finding is important for better design of layered oxide positive materials with higher reversible capacity via the introduction of a reversible anionic redox reaction
