Quantum parallel dense coding of optical images
We propose quantum dense coding protocol for optical images. This protocol
extends the earlier proposed dense coding scheme for continuous variables
[S.L.Braunstein and H.J.Kimble, Phys.Rev.A 61, 042302 (2000)] to an essentially
multimode in space and time optical quantum communication channel. This new
scheme allows, in particular, for parallel dense coding of non-stationary
optical images. Similar to some other quantum dense coding protocols, our
scheme exploits the possibility of sending a classical message through only one
of the two entangled spatially-multimode beams, using the other one as a
reference system. We evaluate the Shannon mutual information for our protocol
and find that it is superior to the standard quantum limit. Finally, we show
how to optimize the performance of our scheme as a function of the
spatio-temporal parameters of the multimode entangled light and of the input
images.Comment: 15 pages, 4 figures, RevTeX4. Submitted to the Special Issue on

Studying grain-boundary stresses in copper by the molecular-statics method
Grain-boundary stresses in copper for 60 symmetrical tilt grain boundaries with different orientations of the grain-boundary plane and tilt axis have been calculated by the molecular-statics method with the use of embedded-atom-method potentials of interatomic interactionyesBelgorod State Universit
Study of the evolution of the Cu/Nb interphase boundary by the molecular dynamics method
The evolution of atomic structure of the interphase boundary for composites from immiscible Cu/Nb elements is studied by the molecular dynamics method. It is established that the planar interphase boundary is stable at temperatures up to 1200 K. Atomic dissolution of elements is not revealed in the entire examined temperature interval, and the components are mixed on the interphase boundary of finite curvature in the form of clusters and nanolamellas; moreover, the amorphous state is not formed in the process of migration of the interphase boundaryyesBelgorod State Universit
Self-diffusion parameters of grain boundaries and triple junctions in nanocrystalline materials
Suggested methods describe the process of self-diffusion along grain boundaries and triple junctions in polycrystals without using geometric models of the grain boundaries structure. The calculation method introduced diffusion characteristics along grain boundaries derived from the results of molecular dynamic simulations of nanocrystalline materialsyesBelgorod State Universit
Near-threshold femtosecond laser fabrication of one-dimensional subwavelength nanogratings on a graphite surface
Superimposed one-dimensional quasiperiodic gratings with multiple periods Λ≈110–800 nm well below or comparable to the pump laser wavelength of 744 nm, and ridge orientations perpendicular to the linear polarization of infrared femtosecond laser pulses, were fabricated after multiple near-threshold laser shots on a planar surface of quasimonocrystalline graphite in ambient airyesBelgorod State Universit
Characteristics of the electric field accompanying a longitudinal acoustic wave in a metal. Anomaly in the superconducting phase
The temperature dependence of the amplitude and phase of the electric
potential arising at a plane boundary of a conductor when a longitudinal
acoustic wave is incident normally on it is investigated theoretically and
experimentally. The surface potential is formed by two contributions, one of
which is spatially periodic inside the sample, with the period of the acoustic
field; the second is aperiodic and arises as a result of an additional
nonuniformity of the electron distribution in a surface layer of the metal. In
the nonlocal region the second contribution is dominant. The phases of these
contributions are shifted by approximately \pi /2. For metals in the normal
state the experiment is in qualitative agreement with the theory. The
superconducting transition is accompanied by catastrophically rapid vanishing
of the electric potential, in sharp contrast to the theoretical estimates,
which predict behavior similar to the BCS dependence of the attenuation
coefficient for a longitudinal sound.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
Influence of implants surface properties on bone tissue formation in the ectopic osteogenesis test
We studied the influence of the characteristics of oxide porous coatings on osteogenesis and integration of new bone tissue and titanium implant surface in the ectopic osteogenesis test. Implants with coating with pore size 2-20 μ exhibit better osteogenic and osteoconductive characteristics than implants with homogenous surface and smooth relief (pore size 0.5- 5.0 μ). Physical characteristics of the surface of the material along with chemical composition of the coating are essential for the formation of bone tissue and its integration with the implan
