Higher bottom and bottom-strange mesons
Motivated by the recent observation of the orbital excitation by
CDF collaboration, we have performed a systematical study of the mass spectrum
and strong decay patterns of the higher and mesons. Hopefully the
present investigation may provide valuable clues to further experimental
exploration of these intriguing excited heavy mesons.Comment: 13 pages, 11 figures, 10 tables. More discussions and references

Transmission resonance in a composite plasmonic structure
The design, fabrication, and optical properties of a composite plasmonic
structure, a two-dimentional array of split-ring resonators inserted into
periodic square holes of a metal film, have been reported. A new type of
transmission resonance, which makes a significant difference from the
conventional peaks, has been suggested both theoretically and experimentally.
To understand this effect, a mechanism of ring- resonance induced dipole
emission is proposed.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure
Robust interface between flying and topological qubits
Hybrid architectures, consisting of conventional and topological qubits, have
recently attracted much attention due to their capability in consolidating the
robustness of topological qubits and the universality of conventional qubits.
However, these two kinds of qubits are normally constructed in significantly
different energy scales, and thus this energy mismatch is a major obstacle for
their coupling that supports the exchange of quantum information between them.
Here, we propose a microwave photonic quantum bus for a direct strong coupling
between the topological and conventional qubits, in which the energy mismatch
is compensated by the external driving field via the fractional ac Josephson
effect. In the framework of tight-binding simulation and perturbation theory,
we show that the energy splitting of the topological qubits in a finite length
nanowire is still robust against local perturbations, which is ensured not only
by topology, but also by the particle-hole symmetry. Therefore, the present
scheme realizes a robust interface between the flying and topological qubits.
Finally, we demonstrate that this quantum bus can also be used to generate
multipartitie entangled states with the topological qubits.Comment: Accepted for publication in Scientific Report
1-{(1Z)-1-[3-(2,4-Dichlorophenoxy)propoxy]-1-(2,4-difluorophenyl)prop-1-en-2-yl}-1H-1,2,4-triazole
In the title compound, C20H17Cl2F2N3O2, the triazole ring makes dihedral angles of 28.0 (3) and 72.5 (2)° with the 2,4-dichloropheny and 2,4-difluorophenyl rings, respectively, and the molecule adopts a Z-conformation about the C=C double bond. In the crystal, C—H⋯O and C—H⋯N hydrogen bonds link the molecules
