    Today world is step-in 21st century. But still in major part of India cannot get 24 X 7 eclectic power supply. Electrical power has become a prime necessity for any country for economic development. And power shortage is a dominant problem, being faced by the most of the countries today. On the top of this, the conventional fuel sources for power generation i.e. coal & oil deposits are fast getting depleted. The Obvious way out, is to shift focus to renewable sources of energy and in country like India our village population & remote location load always suffer by power cut or grid failure although they have enough potential to generate own power but due to lake of technology they can’t get 24 x 7 power supply to provide some solution of this problem we try to develop smart grid Indian version. Although more invention has to be carried out still in the use of non-conventional energy sources for power generation to reach to most economic point, but every little effort in this direction may provide a solution to power shortage problems. Hence the same topic was selected as a part of the curriculum. The goal of the paper is to construct a micro smart grid  which is capable of producing enough  electrical power by using local removable energy electrical power sources like wind, bio-gas, solar, current running hydro plan for the places like remote places like villages? In this paper, we propose a decentralized framework named Micro Smart GRID to tackle grid resource management a simulation study of operation and control of local generation & co-ordination with state grid in case of normal operation or power islands in Micro Smart Grid environment

    Dynamics of rotating Bose-Einstein condensates probed by Bragg scattering

    Full text link
    Gaseous Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs) have become an important test bed for studying the dynamics of quantized vortices. In this work we use two-photon Doppler sensitive Bragg scattering to study the rotation of sodium BECs. We analyze the microscopic flow field and present laboratory measurements of the coarse-grained velocity profile. Unlike time-of-flight imaging, Bragg scattering is sensitive to the direction of rotation and therefore to the phase of the condensate. In addition, we have non-destructively probed the vortex flow field using a sequence of two Bragg pulses.Comment: 13 pages, 5 figures.

    Efficient quantum key distribution scheme with nonmaximally entangled states

    Get PDF
    We propose an efficient quantum key distribution scheme based on entanglement. The sender chooses pairs of photons in one of the two equivalent nonmaximally entangled states randomly, and sends a sequence of photons from each pair to the receiver. They choose from the various bases independently but with substantially different probabilities, thus reducing the fraction of discarded data, and a significant gain in efficiency is achieved. We then show that such a refined data analysis guarantees the security of our scheme against a biased eavesdropping strategy.Comment: 5 Pages, No Figur

    Linear optical implementation of a single mode quantum filter and generation of multi-photon polarization entangled state

    Get PDF
    We propose a scheme to implement a single-mode quantum filter, which selectively eliminates the one-photon state in a quantum state α0>+β1>+γ2>\alpha|0>+\beta|1>+\gamma|2>. The vacuum state and the two photon state are transmitted without any change. This scheme requires single-photon sources, linear optical elements and photon detectors. Furthermore we demonstrate, how this filter can be used to realize a two-qubit projective measurement and to generate multi-photon polarization entangled states.Comment: revision submitted to PR

    Tomographic Quantum Cryptography

    Full text link
    We present a protocol for quantum cryptography in which the data obtained for mismatched bases are used in full for the purpose of quantum state tomography. Eavesdropping on the quantum channel is seriously impeded by requiring that the outcome of the tomography is consistent with unbiased noise in the channel. We study the incoherent eavesdropping attacks that are still permissible and establish under which conditions a secure cryptographic key can be generated. The whole analysis is carried out for channels that transmit quantum systems of any finite dimension.Comment: REVTeX4, 9 pages, 3 figures, 1 tabl

    Quantum Distribution of Gaussian Keys with Squeezed States

    Full text link
    A continuous key distribution scheme is proposed that relies on a pair of canonically conjugate quantum variables. It allows two remote parties to share a secret Gaussian key by encoding it into one of the two quadrature components of a single-mode electromagnetic field. The resulting quantum cryptographic information vs disturbance tradeoff is investigated for an individual attack based on the optimal continuous cloning machine. It is shown that the information gained by the eavesdropper then simply equals the information lost by the receiver.Comment: 5 pages, RevTe

    Quantum and Classical Noise in Practical Quantum Cryptography Systems based on polarization-entangled photons

    Full text link
    Quantum-cryptography key distribution (QCKD) experiments have been recently reported using polarization-entangled photons. However, in any practical realization, quantum systems suffer from either unwanted or induced interactions with the environment and the quantum measurement system, showing up as quantum and, ultimately, statistical noise. In this paper, we investigate how ideal polarization entanglement in spontaneous parametric downconversion (SPDC) suffers quantum noise in its practical implementation as a secure quantum system, yielding errors in the transmitted bit sequence. Because all SPDC-based QCKD schemes rely on the measurement of coincidence to assert the bit transmission between the two parties, we bundle up the overall quantum and statistical noise in an exhaustive model to calculate the accidental coincidences. This model predicts the quantum-bit error rate and the sifted key and allows comparisons between different security criteria of the hitherto proposed QCKD protocols, resulting in an objective assessment of performances and advantages of different systems.Comment: Rev Tex Style, 2 columns, 7 figures, (a modified version will appear on PRA

    Maximizing the entanglement of two mixed qubits

    Get PDF
    Two-qubit states occupy a large and relatively unexplored Hilbert space. Such states can be succinctly characterized by their degree of entanglement and purity. In this letter we investigate entangled mixed states and present a class of states that have the maximum amount of entanglement for a given linear entropy.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure

    Reducing the communication complexity with quantum entanglement

    Full text link
    We propose a probabilistic two-party communication complexity scenario with a prior nonmaximally entangled state, which results in less communication than that is required with only classical random correlations. A simple all-optical implementation of this protocol is presented and demonstrates our conclusion.Comment: 4 Pages, 2 Figure

    Solid-state laser system for laser cooling of Sodium

    Full text link
    We demonstrate a frequency-stabilized, all-solid laser source at 589 nm with up to 800 mW output power. The laser relies on sum-frequency generation from two laser sources at 1064 nm and 1319 nm through a PPKTP crystal in a doubly-resonant cavity. We obtain conversion efficiency as high as 2 W/W^2 after optimization of the cavity parameters. The output wavelength is tunable over 60 GHz, which is sufficient to lock on the Sodium D2 line. The robustness, beam quality, spectral narrowness and tunability of our source make it an alternative to dye lasers for atomic physics experiments with Sodium atoms
