Photon-number statistics of the emitted photons from a quantum dot placed in the vicinity of a metallic nanoparticle driven by a laser in the non-Markovian regime is investigated theoretically. In the model scheme, the quantum dot is considered as an InAs three-level system in L-type configuration with two transition channels. We aim to introduce the hybrid system as a nonclassical photon source and control the antibunching behavior of the emitted photons by the geometrical as well as the physical parameters of the hybrid system. Our approach is based on the classical Green's function technique and time convolution master equation. The results reveal that the emitted photons from the hybrid system under consideration are antibunched and energy is exchanged between the QD and nanoshell. By increasing the QD-MNP separation distance, the detuning frequency between the QD transitions and surface plasmon modes, and the Rabi frequency the antibunching time increases while the backaction of the reservoir on the QD decreases. To sum up, we conclude that the studied system has the potential to be a highly controllable single-photon source.

Systematic Review of Hybrid Vision Transformer Architectures for Radiological Image Analysis.

J Imaging Inform Med

January 2025

School of Computing, Informatics, and Decision Systems Engineering, Arizona State University, Tempe, AZ, USA.

Vision transformer (ViT)and convolutional neural networks (CNNs) each possess distinct strengths in medical imaging: ViT excels in capturing long-range dependencies through self-attention, while CNNs are adept at extracting local features via spatial convolution filters. While ViT may struggle with capturing detailed local spatial information, critical for tasks like anomaly detection in medical imaging, shallow CNNs often fail to effectively abstract global context. This study aims to explore and evaluate hybrid architectures that integrate ViT and CNN to leverage their complementary strengths for enhanced performance in medical vision tasks, such as segmentation, classification, reconstruction, and prediction.

This work studies the generation of the orbital angular momentum (OAM) beam in the double quantum dot-metal nanoparticle (DQD-MNP) system under the application of the OAM beam. First, an analytical model is derived to attain the relations of probe and generated fields as a distance function in the DQD-MNP system under OAM applied field and spontaneously generated coherence (SGC) components. The calculation here is of material property; it differs from others by calculating energy states of the DQDs and the computation of the transition momenta between quantum dot (QD)-QD and QD-wetting layer (WL) transitions.

The hybrid magnetic heterostructures and superlattices, composed of organic and inorganic materials, have shown great potential for quantum computing and next-generation information technology. Organic materials generally possess designable structural motifs and versatile optical, electronic, and magnetic properties, but are too delicate for robust integration into solid-state devices. In contrast, inorganic systems provide robust solid-state interface and excellent electronic properties but with limited customization space.
