A large-scale one-way quantum computer in an array of coupled cavities
We propose an efficient method to realize a large-scale one-way quantum
computer in a two-dimensional (2D) array of coupled cavities, based on coherent
displacements of an arbitrary state of cavity fields in a closed phase space.
Due to the nontrivial geometric phase shifts accumulating only between the
qubits in nearest-neighbor cavities, a large-scale 2D cluster state can be
created within a short time. We discuss the feasibility of our method for scale
solid-state quantum computationComment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Evidence for spin-flip scattering and local moments in dilute fluorinated graphene
The issue of whether local magnetic moments can be formed by introducing
adatoms into graphene is of intense research interest because it opens the
window to fundamental studies of magnetism in graphene, as well as of its
potential spintronics applications. To investigate this question we measure, by
exploiting the well-established weak localization physics, the phase coherence
length L_phi in dilute fluorinated graphene. L_phi reveals an unusual
saturation below ~ 10 K, which cannot be explained by non-magnetic origins. The
corresponding phase breaking rate increases with decreasing carrier density and
increases with increasing fluorine density. These results provide strong
evidence for spin-flip scattering and points to the existence of adatom-induced
local magnetic moment in fluorinated graphene. Our results will stimulate
further investigations of magnetism and spintronics applications in
adatom-engineered graphene.Comment: 9 pages, 4 figures, and supplementary materials; Phys. Rev. Lett. in

Multi-quark components in baryons
A brief review on some recent progresses in our understanding of multi-quark
components in baryons is presented. The multi-quark components in baryons seem
to be mainly in colored quark cluster configurations rather than in ``meson
cloud'' configurations or in the form of a sea of quark-antiquark pairs. The
colored quark cluster multi-quark picture gives a natural explanation of
empirical indications for a positive strangeness magnetic moment of the
proton and the longstanding mass-reverse problem of S11(1535) and \mu_s$ of the proton is given.Comment: Contribution to the International Conference on QCD and Hadronic
