Published: May 2016

Quantum systems are important resources for quantum computer. Different from previous encoding forms using quantum systems with one degree of freedom (DoF) or two DoFs, we investigate the possibility of photon systems encoding with three DoFs consisting of the polarization DoF and two spatial DoFs. By exploring the optical circular birefringence induced by an NV center in a diamond embedded in the photonic crystal cavity, we propose several hybrid controlled-NOT (hybrid CNOT) gates operating on the two-photon or one-photon system. These hybrid CNOT gates show that three DoFs may be encoded as independent qubits without auxiliary DoFs. Our result provides a useful way to reduce quantum simulation resources by exploring complex quantum systems for quantum applications requiring large qubit systems.

Overrated energy storage performances of dielectrics seriously affected by fringing effect and parasitic capacitance.

Nat Commun

January 2025

Hefei National Research Center for Physical Sciences at the Microscale, Department of Physics and CAS Key Laboratory of Strongly-Coupled Quantum Matter Physics, University of Science and Technology of China, Hefei, China.

Dielectric capacitors are vital for modern power and electronic systems, and accurate assessment of their dielectric properties is paramount. However, in many prevailing reports, the fringing effect near electrodes and parasitic capacitance in the test circuit were often neglected, leading to overrated dielectric performances. Here, the serious impacts of the fringing effect and parasitic capacitance are investigated both experimentally and theoretically on different dielectrics including AlO, SrTiO, etc.

Electronic address:

Article Synopsis
  • A new eco-friendly electrochemiluminescence (ECL) sensor using carbon quantum dots (CN QDs) was developed for highly sensitive detection of vitamin K (VK).
  • The sensor combined nickel-cobalt nanocages (NiCo NCs) with CN QDs, enhancing luminescent properties and allowing for efficient signal amplification when applied to a poly-L-cysteine film.
  • It demonstrated a detection range for VK between 1.0 × 10⁻⁸ to 5.0 × 10⁻⁴ mol/L, with a low limit of detection at 1.65 × 10⁻⁹ mol/L, and showed effective recoveries in food samples, indicating its practical application.

Extending the MST Model to Large Biomolecular Systems: Parametrization of the ddCOSMO-MST Continuum Solvation Model.

J Comput Chem

January 2025

Departament de Farmàcia i Tecnologia Farmacèutica, i Fisicoquímica, Facultat de Farmàcia i Ciències de l'Alimentació, Universitat de Barcelona (UB), Barcelona, Spain.

Continuum solvation models such as the polarizable continuum model and the conductor-like screening model are widely used in quantum chemistry, but their application to large biosystems is hampered by their computational cost. Here, we report the parametrization of the Miertus-Scrocco-Tomasi (MST) model for the prediction of hydration free energies of neutral and ionic molecules based on the domain decomposition formulation of COSMO (ddCOSMO), which allows a drastic reduction of the computational cost by several orders of magnitude. We also introduce several novelties in MST, like a new definition of atom types based on hybridization and an automatic setup of the cavity for charged regions.

Carbonyl complexes of metals with an α-diimine ligand exhibit both emission and ligand-selective photodissociation from MLCT states. Studying this photodissociative mechanism is challenging for experimental approaches due to an ultrafast femtosecond timescale and spectral overlap of multiple photoproducts. The photochemistry of a prototypical system is investigated with non-adiabatic dynamic simulations.

Eye-tracking technologies are emerging in research aiming to understand the visual behavior of cyclists to improve their safety. These technologies gather real-time information to reveal what the cyclists look at and how they respond at a specific location and time. This systematic review investigates the use of eye-tracking systems to improve cyclist safety.
