Enhancing coherence in molecular spin qubits via atomic clock transitions
2016
Quantum computing is an emerging area within the information sciences revolving around the concept of quantum bits (qubits). A major obstacle is the extreme fragility of these qubits due to interactions with their environment that destroy their quantumness. This phenomenon, known as decoherence, is of fundamental interest1,2. There are many competing candidates for qubits, including superconducting circuits3, quantum optical cavities4, ultracold atoms5 and spin qubits6,7,8, and each has its strengths and weaknesses. When dealing with spin qubits, the strongest source of decoherence is the magnetic dipolar interaction9. To minimize it, spins are typically diluted in a diamagnetic matrix. For…
Rateless codes mitigation technique in a turbulent indoor Free Space Optics link
2014
Free Space Optics (FSO) links are affected by several impairments and, among them, optical turbulence is the most important factor that can degrade the link quality. Due to the presence of this phenomenon, the signal irradiance detected by the receiver fluctuates, thus causing erasure errors and fading events. In this work, we present an indoor Free Space Optics link, in which several turbulence conditions are generated by using two heating elements. We show that the generated turbulence causes erasure errors and packet losses during the data transmission, and we also compare the statistical distribution of the samples with the theoretical models. Moreover, we demonstrate how the applicatio…
Direct Ionization Impact on Accelerator Mixed-Field Soft-Error Rate
2020
We investigate, through measurements and simulations, the possible direct ionization impact on the accelerator soft-error rate (SER), not considered in standard qualification approaches. Results show that, for a broad variety of state-of-the-art commercial components considered in the 65-16-nm technological range, indirect ionization is still expected to dominate the overall SER in the accelerator mixed-field. However, the derived critical charges of the most sensitive parts, corresponding to ~0.7 fC, are expected to be at the limit of rapid direct ionization dominance and soft-error increase.
Continued fraction approximation for the nuclear matter response function
2008
A continued fraction approximation is used to calculate the Random Phase Approximation (RPA) response function of nuclear matter. The convergence of the approximation is assessed by comparing it with the numerically exact response function obtained with a typical effective finite-range interaction used in nuclear physics. It is shown that just the first order term of the expansion can give reliable results at densities up to the saturation density value.
Search for Pulsed Gamma Ray Emission above 50 MeV from NP 0532
1971
OBSERVATIONS of the pulsar NP 0532 in the gamma ray region have yielded evidence of pulsed gamma ray emission for energies up to 10 MeV (refs. 1, 2 and Kurfess, to be published). Above this energy, upper limits between 10 MeV and 150 MeV (refs. 3, 4) and above 50 MeV (ref. 5) are indicated. A result above 70 MeV with phase error of 3 ms with respect to optical signal has been given by a counter experiment6.
A test of chiral perturbation theory from the measurement of the decay KS → γγ
1995
Data from NA31 experiment at CERN have been used to measure the decay KS → γγ. From 69 candidate events of the type K0 → γγ, 52 events can be attributed to KL → γγ and one event is expected from background processes. The ratio of the relative decay widths R = Γ(KS → γγ)Γ(KL → γγ) is measured to be R = 2.2 ± 1.0(stat.) ± 0.3(syst.) ± 0.2(ext.) where the external systematic error is due to the experimental uncertainty in the branching ratio of the decay KL → γγ. This translates into a branching ratio of BR(KS → γγ) = (2.2 ± 1.1) × 10−6. If these data are combined with the published data from an earlier data taking period with the same experiment, the ratio R is determined to be R = 2.35 ± 0.7…
Measurement of the positron longitudinal polarization in muon decay
1981
The longitudinal polarization of the ${e}^{+}$ from ${\ensuremath{\mu}}^{+}$ decay has been measured. The spin dependence of positron-electron (Bhabha) scattering and of annihilation in flight were used as the analyzing reactions. The combined statistical and systematic error was reduced by a factor of approximately 3 below that of any previous measurement. The longitudinal polarization was found to be 1.010\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.064 (statistical plus systematic error) and to be consistent with the prediction of the $V\ensuremath{-}A$ interaction.
Meßfehlerschätzung bei der MR-tomographischen Volumetrie des linken Ventrikels mit Mehrschicht-Technik
1992
A multi-slice technique for MRT measurements of the left ventricular volume is much faster than the use of single-slice methods and is therefore better tolerated, leaving time for additional measurements. The end-diastolic left ventricular volume can be reliably measured by this method (123.3 +/- 13.5 ml vs. 124.1 +/- ml). The end-systolic volume is consistently overestimated by 23.7 +/- 18.3% compared with the reference value obtained by single slice measurements (47.9 +/- 8.9 ml vs 39.1 +/- 7.9 ml). Correspondingly, stroke volume and ejection fraction is underestimated on average by 10.6 +/- 9.7% and 10.6 +/- 7.6% respectively).
