Singularity Analysis for a 5-DoF FullySymmetrical Parallel Manipulator 5-RRR (RR
Abstract-A 5-DoF 3R2T (three dimensional rotation and two dimensional translation degrees of freedom) fully-symmetrical parallel manipulator can be adopted in many applications such as simulating the motion of spinal column. However, kinematics of this type parallel manipulator has not been studied enough because of short history. The study of kinematics of the manipulators leads inevitably to the problem of singular configuration. Singularity of a 5-DoF 3R2T fully-symmetrical parallel manipulator, 5-RRR(RR), is illustrated in this study. According to the singularity classification by Fang and Tsai, both limb singularity and actuation singularity are illustrated by screw theory and Grassmann geometry. The result of this study will be helpful for singularity analysis of 5-DoF 3R2T fully-symmetrical parallel manipulators because of their similar constraint property
Observation of quantum fingerprinting beating the classical limit
Quantum communication has historically been at the forefront of advancements,
from fundamental tests of quantum physics to utilizing the quantum-mechanical
properties of physical systems for practical applications. In the field of
communication complexity, quantum communication allows the advantage of an
exponential reduction in the information transmitted over classical
communication to accomplish distributed computational tasks. However, to date,
demonstrating this advantage in a practical setting continues to be a central
challenge. Here, we report an experimental demonstration of a quantum
fingerprinting protocol that for the first time surpasses the ultimate
classical limit to transmitted information. Ultra-low noise superconducting
single-photon detectors and a stable fibre-based Sagnac interferometer are used
to implement a quantum fingerprinting system that is capable of transmitting
less information than the classical proven lower bound over 20 km standard
telecom fibre for input sizes of up to two Gbits. The results pave the way for
experimentally exploring the advanced features of quantum communication and
open a new window of opportunity for research in communication complexity and
testing the foundations of physics.Comment: 19 pages, 4 figure
Bromidotricarbonyl[2-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)-5-p-tolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole-κN 3]rhenium(I) dichloromethane monosolvate
In the title compound, [ReBr(C14H11N3O)(CO)3]·CH2Cl2, the coordination geometry of the ReI atom is a distorted ReC3N2Br octahedron with the carbonyl C atoms in a fac arrangement. Within the 2-(pyridin-2-yl)-5-p-tolyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole ligand, the dihedral angles between the oxadiazole ring and the pyridine (py) and benzene (bz) rings are 1.7 (2) and 7.1 (2)°, respectively, and the dihedral angle between the py and bz rings is 5.5 (2)°. In the crystal, aromatic π–π stacking between the oxadiazole rings of adjacent molecules [centroid–centroid separation = 3.465 (3) Å] is seen
2-(4-Methylphenyl)-1-(phenylsulfonyl)propan-2-ol
The title compound, C16H18O3S, features a U-shape molecular structure with a dihedral angle between the terminal benzene rings of 20.8 (1)°. An intramolecular O—H⋯O hydrogen bond helps to stabilize the molecular structure. Intermolecular classical O—H⋯O and weak C—H⋯O hydrogen bonding is present in the crystal structure
Bromidotricarbonyl[2-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)-1,3,4-oxadiazole-κN 4]rhenium(I) dichloromethane monosolvate
In the title rhenium(I) complex, [ReBr(C13H9N3O)(CO)3]·CH2Cl2, the dichloromethane solvent molecule is disordered over two positions with an occupancy ratio of 0.81 (15):0.19 (15). The ReI atom is coordinated by two N atoms from a 2-phenyl-5-(pyridin-2-yl-κN)-1,3,4-oxadiazole (L) ligand, three C atoms from three carbonyl groups and a Br atom in a distorted octahedral geometry. The three rings in L are almost coplanar (a mean plane fitted through all non-H atoms of this ligand has an r.m.s. deviation of 0.063 Å), and the carbonyl ligands are coordinated in a fac arrangement
Measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution over untrustful metropolitan network
Quantum cryptography holds the promise to establish an
information-theoretically secure global network. All field tests of
metropolitan-scale quantum networks to date are based on trusted relays. The
security critically relies on the accountability of the trusted relays, which
will break down if the relay is dishonest or compromised. Here, we construct a
measurement-device-independent quantum key distribution (MDIQKD) network in a
star topology over a 200 square kilometers metropolitan area, which is secure
against untrustful relays and against all detection attacks. In the field test,
our system continuously runs through one week with a secure key rate ten times
larger than previous result. Our results demonstrate that the MDIQKD network,
combining the best of both worlds --- security and practicality, constitutes an
appealing solution to secure metropolitan communications.Comment: 17 pages, 4 figure
