Fast quantum information transfer with superconducting flux qubits coupled to a cavity
We present a way to realize quantum information transfer with superconducting
flux qubits coupled to a cavity. Because only resonant qubit-cavity interaction
and resonant qubit-pulse interaction are applied, the information transfer can
be performed much faster, when compared with the previous proposals. This
proposal does not require adjustment of the qubit level spacings during the
operation. Moreover, neither uniformity in the device parameters nor exact
placement of qubits in the cavity is needed by this proposal.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figure
General relations of heavy quark-antiquark potentials induced by reparameterization invariance
A set of general relations between the spin-independent and spin-dependent
potentials of heavy quark and anti-quark interactions are derived from
reparameterization invariance in the Heavy Quark Effective Theory. It covers
the Gromes relation and includes some new interesting relations which are
useful in understanding the spin-independent and spin-dependent relativistic
corrections to the leading order nonrelativistic potential.Comment: 11 pages, TUIMP-TH-93/54, CCAST-93-3
Quantum transport through a double Aharonov-Bohm-interferometer in the presence of Andreev reflection
Quantum transport through a double Aharonov-Bohm-interferometer in the
presence of Andreev reflection is investigated in terms of the nonequilibrium
Green function method with which the reflection current is obtained. Tunable
Andreev reflection probabilities depending on the interdot coupling strength
and magnetic flux as well are analysised in detail. It is found that the
oscillation period of the reflection probability with respect to the magnetic
flux for the double interferometer depends linearly on the ratio of two parts
magnetic fluxes n, i.e. 2(n+1)pi, while that of a single interferometer is 2pi.
The coupling strength not only affects the height and the linewidth of Andreev
reflection current peaks vs gate votage but also shifts the peak positions. It
is furthermore demonstrated that the Andreev reflection current peaks can be
tuned by the magnetic fluxes.Comment: 13 pages, 12 figur
Spectroscopy of -States in Quark Model and Baryon-Antibaryon Enhancements
We study the mass spectrum of the mesons both from
the quark model with triquark correlations and from common quark model with
colormagnetic interactions and with relative S-waves between quarks. Two
cluster configurations and
are considered. In the spectrum
we find rather stable states which have the same quantum number with particle
resonances which are corresponding to the enhancement,
enhancement and enhancement with
spin- or . This imply these enhancements are NOT
experimental artifacts. The color-spin-flavor structures of ,
, and enhancements are revealed. The
existence of spin-
enhancements is predicted.Comment: 45 pages, 5 figure
Mechanism and kinetics of Ni-Y2O3-ZrO2 hydrogen electrode for water electrolysis reactions in solid oxide electrolysis cells
© The Author(s) 2015. Published by ECS. Ni-Y2O3 stabilized ZrO2 (Ni-YSZ) cermet is the most commonly used hydrogen electrode for hydrogen oxidation reaction (HOR) under solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) mode and water reduction reaction (WRR) under solid oxide electrolysis cell (SOEC) mode. Here we studied the electrocatalytic activity of Ni-YSZ electrodes as a function of Ni content, water concentration and dc bias for WRR and HOR under SOEC and SOFC modes, respectively. The activity of Ni-YSZ cermet increases significantly with the increase of YSZ content due to the enhanced three phase boundaries (TPB). The electrode activity for the WRR and in less degree for the HOR increases with the increase of steam concentration. The electrode polarization resistance, RE, for the WRR increases with the dc bias, while in the case of HOR, RE decreases with the dc bias, demonstrating that kinetically the WRR and HOR is not reversible on the Ni-YSZ cermet electrodes under SOFC and SOEC operation modes. The WRR can be described by two electrode processes associated with the H2O adsorption and diffusion on the oxygen-covered Ni or YSZ surface in the vicinities of TPB, followed by the charge transfer. The significant increase of high frequency electrode polarization resistance, RH and in much less extent low frequency electrode polarization resistance, RL with the dc bias indicates that the water electrolysis reaction is kinetically controlled by the reactant supply (e.g., the adsorbed H2O species) limited charge transfer process
Progress towards quantum simulating the classical O(2) model
We connect explicitly the classical model in 1+1 dimensions, a model
sharing important features with lattice gauge theory, to physical models
potentially implementable on optical lattices and evolving at physical time.
Using the tensor renormalization group formulation, we take the time continuum
limit and check that finite dimensional projections used in recent proposals
for quantum simulators provide controllable approximations of the original
model. We propose two-species Bose-Hubbard models corresponding to these finite
dimensional projections at strong coupling and discuss their possible
implementations on optical lattices using a Rb and K Bose-Bose
mixture.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, uses revtex, new material and one author added,

Effect of characteristics of (Sm,Ce)O2 powder on the fabrication and performance of anode-supported solid oxide fuel cells
Effect of characteristics of Sm0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (SDC) powder as a function of calcination temperature on the fabrication of dense and flat anode-supported SDC thin electrolyte cells has been studied. The results show that the calcination temperature has a significant effect on the particle size, degree of agglomeration, and sintering profiles of the SDC powder. The characteristics of SDC powders have a significant effect on the structure integrity and flatness of the SDC electrolyte film/anode substrate bilayer cells. The SDC electrolyte layer delaminates from the anode substrate for the SDC powder calcined at 600 °C and the bilayer cell concaves towards the SDC electrolyte layer for the SDC powder calcined at 800 °C. When the calcinations temperature increased to 1000 °C, strongly bonded SDC electrolyte film/anode substrate bilayer structures were achieved. An open-circuit voltage (OCV) of 0.82–0.84 V and maximum power density of ~1 W cm−2 were obtained at 600 °C using hydrogen as fuel and stationary air as the oxidant. The results indicate that the matching of the onset sintering temperature and maximum sintering rate temperature is most critical for the development of a dense and flat Ni/SDC supported SDC thin electrolyte cells for intermediate temperature solid oxide fuel cells
