The Universal Edge Physics in Fractional Quantum Hall Liquids
The chiral Luttinger liquid theory for fractional quantum Hall edge transport
predicts universal power-law behavior in the current-voltage (-)
characteristics for electrons tunneling into the edge. However, it has not been
unambiguously observed in experiments in two-dimensional electron gases based
on GaAs/GaAlAs heterostructures or quantum wells. One plausible cause is the
fractional quantum Hall edge reconstruction, which introduces non-chiral edge
modes. The coupling between counterpropagating edge modes can modify the
exponent of the - characteristics. By comparing the fractional
quantum Hall states in modulation-doped semiconductor devices and in graphene
devices, we show that the graphene-based systems have an experimental
accessible parameter region to avoid the edge reconstruction, which is suitable
for the exploration of the universal edge tunneling exponent predicted by the
chiral Luttinger liquid theory.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figure
R&D and Technology Transfer: Firm-Level Evidence from Chinese Industry
The capacity of developing economies to narrow the gap in living standards with the OECD nations depends critically on their ability to imitate and innovate new technologies. Toward this end, developing economies have access to three avenues of technological advance: technology transfer, domestic R&D, and foreign direct investment. This paper examines the contributions of each of these avenues, as well as their interactions, to productivity and knowledge production within Chinese industry. Based on a large data set for China’s large and medium-size enterprises, the estimation results show that technology transfer – whether domestic or foreign – affects productivity only through its interactions with in-house R&D. Foreign direct investment does not appear to facilitate the adoption of market-mediated foreign technology transfer. Firms wishing to produce patentable knowledge do not benefit from technology transfer; patentable knowledge is created exclusively through in-house R&D operations.http://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/39968/3/wp582.pd
Loss-resistant state teleportation and entanglement swapping using a quantum-dot spin in an optical microcavity
We present a scheme for efficient state teleportation and entanglement
swapping using a single quantum-dot spin in an optical microcavity based on
giant circular birefringence. State teleportation or entanglement swapping is
heralded by the sequential detection of two photons, and is finished after the
spin measurement. The spin-cavity unit works as a complete Bell-state analyzer
with a built-in spin memory allowing loss-resistant repeater operation. This
device can work in both the weak coupling and the strong coupling regime, but
high efficiencies and high fidelities are only achievable when the side leakage
and cavity loss is low. We assess the feasibility of this device, and show it
can be implemented with current technology. We also propose a spin manipulation
method using single photons, which could be used to preserve the spin coherence
via spin echo techniques.Comment: The manuscript is extended, including BSA fidelity, efficiency, and a
compatible scheme for spin manipulations and spin echoes to prolong the spin
coherenc
The Sources and Sustainability of China's Economic Growth
China’s economic transformation is proceeding at different rates across different regions and sectors, and China’s most advanced regional sector, coastal industry, still lags well behind the world’s technology frontier. This paper explores the implications of these internal and international productivity disparities for China’s ability to sustain rapid economic growth. When China’s GDP catches up to U.S. GDP, Chinese living standards still will be only one quarter those of the United States. If, at that time, productivity in some major regions and sectors remains far below the average, coastal industry may have to achieve productivity that approaches or even exceeds U.S. productivity. Coastal industry’s productivity growth is then likely to slow substantially, impeding China’s overall economic growth. The paper examines the need for policies that facilitate economic integration across regions, to enable the lagging regions and sectors to catch up to coastal industry, and the prospects for continued institutional reform.China, macroeconomics, economic growth, China GDP
Observation of one electron charge in an enhancement-mode InAs single electron transistor at 4.2K
We propose and demonstrate experimentally a novel design of single-electron
quantum dots. The structure consists of a narrow band gap quantum well that can
undergo a transition from the hole accumulation regime to the electron
inversion regime in a single-top-gate transistor configuration. We have
observed large size quantization and Coulomb charging energies over 10meV. This
quantum dot design can be especially important for scalable quantum computing.Comment: 5 figure
Fuzzy-logic-based control, filtering, and fault detection for networked systems: A Survey
This paper is concerned with the overview of the recent progress in fuzzy-logic-based filtering, control, and fault detection problems. First, the network technologies are introduced, the networked control systems are categorized from the aspects of fieldbuses and industrial Ethernets, the necessity of utilizing the fuzzy logic is justified, and the network-induced phenomena are discussed. Then, the fuzzy logic control strategies are reviewed in great detail. Special attention is given to the thorough examination on the latest results for fuzzy PID control, fuzzy adaptive control, and fuzzy tracking control problems. Furthermore, recent advances
on the fuzzy-logic-based filtering and fault detection problems are reviewed. Finally, conclusions are given and some possible future research directions are pointed out, for example, topics on two-dimensional networked systems, wireless networked control systems, Quality-of-Service (QoS) of networked systems, and fuzzy access control in open networked systems.This work was supported in part by the National Natural Science Foundation of China under Grants 61329301,
