On-Chip Photonic Transistor based on the Spike Synchronization in Circuit QED

We consider the single photon transistor in coupled cavity system of resonators interacting with multilevel superconducting artificial atom simultaneously. Effective single mode transformation is used for the diagonalization of the the hamiltonian and impedance matching in terms of the normal modes. Storage and transmission of the incident field are described by the interactions between the cavities controlling the atomic transitions of lowest lying states. Rabi splitting of vacuum induced multiphoton transitions is considered in input/output relations by the quadrature operators in the absence of the input field. Second order coherence functions are employed to investigate the photon blockade and localization-delocalization transitions of cavity fields in oscillating regime of photon states described by the the population imbalance. Refection and transmission of cavity output fields are investigated in the presence of the multilevel transitions. Accumulation and firing of the reflected and transmitted fields are used to investigate the synchronization of the bunching spike train of transmitted field and population imbalance of cavity fields. In the presence of single photon gate field, gain enhancement is explained for transmitted regime.Comment: 8 pages,10 figure

Distortion and electric field control of band structure of silicene

Density functional theory with local density approximation for exchange and correlation functional is used to tune the electronic band structure of silicene monolayer. The cohesive energy of free standing monolayer is increasing (decreasing) with external electric field (distortion). Electrons in silicene behave like Dirac fermions, when the bond angle between the Si atoms is larger than $\sim 102^{0}$. Large distortions destroy the electronic structure of silicene and silicene is no longer a semi-metallic material, and the distorted silicene acts like an $n$-doped system. Electric field opens a band gap around $K$ point in the Brillouin zone, which increases with electric field. The bond angle between the Si atoms is a key player to determine the presence or absence of Dirac cones in silicene.Comment: Europhysics Lett. Accepted (2014

A Calculus of Mobility and Communication for Ubiquitous Computing

We propose a Calculus of Mobility and Communication (CMC) for the modelling of mobility, communication and context-awareness in the setting of ubiquitous computing. CMC is an ambient calculus with the in and out capabilities of Cardelli and Gordon's Mobile Ambients. The calculus has a new form of global communication similar to that in Milner's CCS. In CMC an ambient is tagged with a set of ports that agents executing inside the ambient are allowed to communicate on. It also has a new context-awareness feature that allows ambients to query their location. We present reduction semantics and labelled transition system semantics of CMC and prove that the semantics coincide. A new notion of behavioural equivalence is given by defining capability barbed bisimulation and congruence which is proved to coincide with barbed bisimulation congruence. The expressiveness of the calculus is illustrated by two case studies.Comment: In Proceedings WWV 2015, arXiv:1508.0338

Strain-induced half-metallic ferromagnetism in zinc blende CrP/MnP superlattice: First-principles study

Using first-principles calculations within generalized gradient approximation, the electronic and magnetic properties of zinc blende (zb) CrP/MnP superlattice are investigated. The equilibrium lattice constant is calculated to be $5.33\,$\AA. The stability of ferromagnetic zb CrP/MnP superlattice against antiferromagnetism is considered and it is found that the ferromagnetic CrP/MnP superlattice is more stable than the antiferromagnetic one. It is shown that at the equilibrium lattice constant the CrP/MnP superlattice does not show any half metallicity mainly due to the minority $t_{2g}$ states of Cr and Mn. However, if strain is imposed on the CrP/MnP superlattice then the minority $t_{2g}$ electrons shift to higher energies and the proposed superlattice becomes a half-metal ferromagnet. The effect of tetragonal and orthorhombic distortions on the half metallicity of zb CrP/MnP superlattice is also discussed. It is also shown that InP-CrP/MnP/InP is a true half-metal ferromagnet. The half metallicity and magnetization of these superlattices are robust against tetragonal/ orthorhombic deformation.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
