2-D Coherence Factor for Sidelobe and Ghost Suppressions in Radar Imaging
The coherence factor (CF) is defined as the ratio of coherent power to
incoherent power received by the radar aperture. The incoherent power is
computed by the multi-antenna receiver based on only the spatial variable. In
this respect, it is a one-dimensional (1-D) CF, and thereby the image sidelobes
in down-range cannot be effectively suppressed. We propose a two-dimensional
(2-D) CF by supplementing the 1-D CF by an incoherent sum dealing with the
frequency dimension. In essence, we employ both spatial diversity and frequency
diversity which, respectively, enhance imaging quality in cross range and
range. Simulations and experimental results are provided to demonstrate the
performance advantages of the proposed approach.Comment: 7 pages, 21 figure
Integrability-based analysis of the hyperfine-interaction -nduced decoherence in quantum dots
Using the Algebraic Bethe Ansatz in conjunction with a simple Monte Carlo
sampling technique, we study the problem of the decoherence of a central spin
coupled to a nuclear spin bath. We describe in detail the full crossover from
strong to weak external magnetic field field, a limit where a large
non-decaying coherence factor is found. This feature is explained by
Bose-Einstein-condensate-like physics which also allows us to argue that the
corresponding zero frequency peak would not be broadened by statistical or
ensemble averaging.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, published versio
Intrinsic optical dichroism in the chiral superconducting state of SrRuO
We present an analysis of the Hall conductivity in
time reversal symmetry breaking states of exotic superconductors. We find that
the dichroic signal is non-zero in systems with inter-band order parameters.
This new intrinsic mechanism may explain the Kerr effect observed in strontium
ruthenate and possibly other superconductors. We predict coherence factor
effects in the temperature dependence of the imaginary part of the ac Hall
conductivity , which can be tested experimentally.Comment: 4+ pages, 4 figures, published versio
Dephasing of qubits by the Schr\"odinger cat
We study the dephasing of a single qubit coupled to a bosonic bath. In
particular, we investigate the case when the bath is initially prepared in a
pure state known as the Schr\"odinger cat. In clear contradistinction to the
time-evolution of an initial coherent state, the time evolutions of the purity
and the coherence factor now depend on the particular choice of the
Schr\"odinger cat state. We also demonstrate that the evolution of the
entanglement of a two--qubit system depends on the initial conditions in a
similar way.Comment: Physica E (accepted
