Published: June 2021

Competition between ion trapping and collisional detrapping is considered to be an important issue in the stabilization of the ion flow instability. The saturation amplitudes in terms of the particle density are derived and compared to the experimental data.

Electron release and transfer are pivotal to the efficiency of multiple biogeochemical and pollutant processes. Despite substantial efforts to develop electron-transfer characterization techniques, visualization of electron transfer remains challenging. This study introduces an innovative strategy for mapping electron-transfer distance using nanoscale zerovalent iron (nZVI) as a case study.

Quantum computers hold the promise of more efficient combinatorial optimization solvers, which could be game-changing for a broad range of applications. However, a bottleneck for materializing such advantages is that, in order to challenge classical algorithms in practice, mainstream approaches require a number of qubits prohibitively large for near-term hardware. Here we introduce a variational solver for MaxCut problems over binary variables using only n qubits, with tunable k > 1.

In halide perovskites, photocarriers can have strong polaronic interactions with point defects. For iodide-deficient MAPbI, we found that the Fermi level can shift significantly by 0.6-0.

The reaction of aqueous suspensions of single-wall carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) with UV-excited sodium hypochlorite has previously been reported to be an efficient route for doping nanotubes with oxygen atoms. We have investigated how this reaction system is affected by pH level, dissolved O content, and radical scavengers and traps. Products were characterized with near-IR fluorescence, Raman, and XPS spectroscopy.

In this paper, we introduce the workflow for converting qubit circuits represented by Open Quantum Assembly format (OpenQASM, also known as QASM) into the qudit form for execution on qudit hardware and provide a method for translating qudit experiment results back into qubit results. We present the comparison of several qudit transpilation regimes, which differ in decomposition of multicontrolled gates: as ordinary qubit transpilation and execution, with d=3 levels and single qubit in qudit, and with d=4 levels and 2 qubits per ququart. We provide several examples of transpiling circuits for trapped ion qudit processors, which demonstrate potential advantages of qudits.
