Coherent output of photons from coupled superconducting transmission line resonators controlled by charge qubits
We study the coherent control of microwave photons propagating in a
superconducting waveguide consisting of coupled transmission line resonators,
each of which is connected to a tunable charge qubit. While these coupled line
resonators form an artificial photonic crystal with an engineered photonic band
structure, the charge qubits collectively behave as spin waves in the low
excitation limit, which modify the band-gap structure to slow and stop the
microwave propagation. The conceptual exploration here suggests an
electromagnetically controlled quantum device based on the on-chip circuit QED
for the coherent manipulation of photons, such as the dynamic creation of
laser-like output from the waveguide by pumping the artificial atoms for
population inversion.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure

Two novel nonlinear companding schemes with iterative receiver to reduce PAPR in multi-carrier modulation systems
Companding transform is an efficient and simple method to reduce the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) for Multi-Carrier Modulation (MCM) systems. But if the MCM signal is only simply operated by inverse companding transform at the receiver, the resultant spectrum may exhibit severe in-band and out-of-band radiation of the distortion components, and considerable peak regrowth by excessive channel noises etc. In order to prevent these problems from occurring, in this paper, two novel nonlinear companding schemes with a iterative receiver are proposed to reduce the PAPR. By transforming the amplitude or power of the original MCM signals into uniform distributed signals, the novel schemes can effectively reduce PAPR for different modulation formats and sub-carrier sizes. Despite moderate complexity increasing at the receiver, but it is especially suitable to be combined with iterative channel estimation. Computer simulation results show that the proposed schemes can offer good system performances without any bandwidth expansion
Determining SUSY Parameters in Chargino Pair-Production in Collisions
In most supersymmetric theories, charginos , mixtures
of charged color-neutral gauginos and higgsinos, belong to the class of the
lightest supersymmetric particles. They are easy to observe at
colliders. By measuring the total cross sections and the left-right asymmetries
with polarized electron beams in , the chargino masses and the gaugino-higgsino mixing angles can be
determined. From these observables the fundamental SUSY parameters can be
derived: the SU(2) gaugino mass , the modulus and
of the higgsino mass parameter, and , the ratio of the
vacuum expectation values of the two neutral Higgs doublet fields. The
solutions are unique; the CP-violating phase can be determined
uniquely by analyzing effects due to the normal polarization of the charginos.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures, uses axodraw.st
Quantum information storage and state transfer based on spin systems
The idea of quantum state storage is generalized to describe the coherent
transfer of quantum information through a coherent data bus. In this universal
framework, we comprehensively review our recent systematical investigations to
explore the possibility of implementing the physical processes of quantum
information storage and state transfer by using quantum spin systems, which may
be an isotropic antiferromagnetic spin ladder system or a ferromagnetic
Heisenberg spin chain. Our studies emphasize the physical mechanisms and the
fundamental problems behind the various protocols for the storage and transfer
of quantum information in solid state systems.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, Review article on the quantum spin based quantum

Management of Digital Video Broadcasting Services in Open Delivery Platforms
The future of Digital Video Broadcasting (DVB) is moving towards solutions offering an efficient way of carrying interactive IP multimedia services over digital terrestrial broadcasting networks to handheld terminals. One of the most promising technologies is Digital Video Broadcasting-Handheld (DVB-H), at present under standardisation. Services deployed via this type of DVB technologies should enjoy reliability comparable to TV services and high quality standards. However, the market at present does not provide effective and economical solutions for the deployment of such services over multi-domain IP networks, due to their high level of unreliability. This paper focuses on service management, service level agreement (SLA) and network performance requirements of DVB-H services. Experimental results are presented concerning QoS sensitivity to network performance of DVB-H services delivered over a multi-domain IP network. Moreover, a solution for efficient and cost effective service management via QoS monitoring and control and network SLA design is proposed. The solution gives DVB-H operators the possibility of fully managing service QoS without being tied to third party operators

Structure – Property relationships for nanofluids
This paper was presented at the 3rd Micro and Nano Flows Conference (MNF2011), which was held at the Makedonia Palace Hotel, Thessaloniki in Greece. The conference was organised by Brunel University and supported by the Italian Union of Thermofluiddynamics, Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, University of Thessaly, IPEM, the Process Intensification Network, the Institution of Mechanical Engineers, the Heat Transfer Society, HEXAG - the Heat Exchange Action Group, and the Energy Institute.Nanofluids refer to dilute liquid suspensions of nanoparticles in commonly used heat transfer liquids. They triggered much excitement since mid 1990s mainly owing to the claims of anomalous enhancement of thermal conductivity even at very low nanoparticle concentrations. There have been
numerous attempts to interpret the mechanism(s) that drive the displayed enhancement. A long debate within the research community supported by experimental and theoretical evidence has highlighted the nanoparticle
structuring as the dominant underlying mechanism. On the other hand the viscosity increase as a result of nanoparticle structuring raises concerns about their suitability for certain applications. This paper mainly discusses the structure – property relationship for nanofluids in microscopically static conditions
The effects of disorder and interactions on the Anderson transition in doped Graphene
We undertake an exact numerical study of the effects of disorder on the
Anderson localization of electronic states in graphene. Analyzing the scaling
behaviors of inverse participation ratio and geometrically averaged density of
states, we find that Anderson metal-insulator transition can be introduced by
the presence of quenched random disorder. In contrast with the conventional
picture of localization, four mobility edges can be observed for the honeycomb
lattice with specific disorder strength and impurity concentration. Considering
the screening effects of interactions on disorder potentials, the experimental
findings of the scale enlarges of puddles can be explained by reviewing the
effects of both interactions and disorder.Comment: 7 pages, 7 figure
