Generation of photon pairs using polarization-dependent two-photon absorption
We propose a new method for generating photon pairs from coherent light using
polarization-dependent two-photon absorption. We study the photon statistics of
two orthogonally polarized modes by solving a master equation, and show that
when we prepare a coherent state in one polarization mode, photon pairs are
created in the other mode. The photon pairs have the same frequency as that of
the incident light.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, submitted to PR
Simulation of Slow Light with Electronics Circuits
We present an electronic circuit which simulates wave propagation in
dispersive media. The circuit is an array of phase shifter composed of
operational amplifiers and can be described with a discretized version of
one-dimensional wave equation for envelopes. The group velocity can be changed
both spatially and temporarily. It is used to emulate slow light or stopped
light, which has been realized in a medium with electromagnetically induced
transparency (EIT). The group-velocity control of optical pulses is expected to
be a useful tool in the field of quantum information and communication.Comment: The following article has been submitted to the American Journal of

Demonstration of negative group delays in a simple electronic circuit
We present a simple electronic circuit which produces negative group delays
for base-band pulses. When a band-limited pulse is applied as the input, a
forwarded pulse appears at the output. The negative group delays in lumped
systems share the same mechanism with the superluminal light propagation, which
is recently demonstrated in an absorption-free, anomalous dispersive medium
[Wang et al., Nature 406, 277 (2000)]. In this circuit, the advance time more
than twenty percent of the pulse width can easily be achieved. The time
constants, which can be in the order of seconds, is slow enough to be observed
with the naked eye by looking at the lamps driven by the pulses.Comment: 6pages,8 figure
Scalability of spin FPGA: A Reconfigurable Architecture based on spin MOSFET
Scalability of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) using spin MOSFET (spin
FPGA) with magnetocurrent (MC) ratio in the range of 100% to 1000% is discussed
for the first time. Area and speed of million-gate spin FPGA are numerically
benchmarked with CMOS FPGA for 22nm, 32nm and 45nm technologies including 20%
transistor size variation. We show that area is reduced and speed is increased
in spin FPGA owing to the nonvolatile memory function of spin MOSFET.Comment: 3 pages, 7 figure
Real-time simulation of jet engines with digital computer. 1: Fabrication and characteristics of the simulator
The fabrication and performance of a real time jet engine simulator using a digital computer are discussed. The use of the simulator in developing the components and control system of a jet engine is described. Comparison of data from jet engine simulation tests with actual engine tests was conducted with good agreement
Mixings of 4-quark components in light non-singlet scalar mesons in QCD sum rules
Mixings of 4-quark components in the non-singlet scalar mesons are studied in
the QCD sum rules. We propose a formulation to evaluate the cross correlators
of q\bar q and qq\bar q \bar q operators and to define the mixings of different
Fock states in the sum rule. It is applied to the non-singlet scalar mesons,
a_0 and K_0^\ast. It is found that the 4-quark operators predict lower masses
than the q\bar q operators and that the 4-quark states occupy about 70-90% of
the lowest mass states.Comment: 8 pages, 9 figure
