A scheme for a single molecule phase-shift gate in a solid matrix

We propose a feasible scheme to implement a phase-shift gate ( (table) ) based on a two-state single molecule in a solid matrix, where γ is a geometric phase controlled through a fast on-resonant laser field and a slow off-resonant radio-frequency field. In our scheme, a non-Hermitian quantum model is employed to characterize the single molecule in a solid matrix including the spontaneous decay effect. By the coupling between the radio-frequency field and the two-state permanent dipole difference resulting from the solid matrix, the spontaneous decay fatal to the preservation of geometric phase can be effectively suppressed for a considerably long waiting time.

Toward extracting scattering phase shift from integrated correlation functions. III. Coupled channels

The formalism developed in the preceding papers that connects integrated correlation function of a trapped two-particle system to infinite volume scattering phase shift is further extended to coupled-channel systems in the present work. Using a trapped nonrelativistic two-channel system as an example, a new relation is derived that retains the same structure as in the single channel, and has explicit dependence on the phase shifts in both channels but not on the inelasticity. The relation is illustrated by a exactly solvable coupled-channel quantum mechanical model with contact interactions. It is further validated by path integral Monte Carlo simulation of a quasi-one-dimensional model that can admit general interaction potentials. In all cases, we found rapid convergence to the infinite volume limit as the trap size is increased, even at short times, making it potentially a good candidate to overcome signal-to-noise issues in Monte Carlo applications.

Quantum displacement receiver for M-ary phase-shift-keyed coherent states

We propose quantum receivers for 3- and 4-ary phase-shift-keyed (PSK) coherent state signals to overcome the standard quantum limit (SQL). Our receiver, consisting of a displacement operation and on-off detectors with or without feedforward, provides an error probability performance beyond the SQL. We show feedforward operations can tolerate the requirement for the detector specifications.

Constraining the phase shift of relativistic species in DESI BAOs

In the early Universe, neutrinos decouple quickly from the primordial plasma and propagate without further interactions. The impact of free-streaming neutrinos is to create a temporal shift in the gravitational potential that impacts the acoustic waves known as baryon acoustic oscillations (BAOs), resulting in a non-linear spatial shift in the Fourier-space BAO signal. In this work, we make use of and extend upon an existing methodology to measure the phase shift amplitude $\beta _{\phi }$ and apply it to the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) Data Release 1 (DR1) BAOs with an anisotropic BAO fitting pipeline. We validate the fitting methodology by testing the pipeline with two publicly available fitting codes applied to highly precise cubic box simulations and realistic simulations representative of the DESI DR1 data. We find further study towards the methods used in fitting the BAO signal will be necessary to ensure accurate constraints on $\beta _{\phi }$ in future DESI data releases. Using DESI DR1, we present individual measurements of the anisotropic BAO distortion parameters and the $\beta _{\phi }$ for the different tracers, and additionally a combined fit to $\beta _{\phi }$ resulting in $\beta _{\phi } = 2.7 \pm 1.7$. After including a prior on the distortion parameters from constraints using Planck we find $\beta _{\phi } = 2.7^{+0.60}_{-0.67}$ suggesting $\beta _{\phi } > 0$ at 4.3$\sigma$ significance. This result may hint at a phase shift that is not purely sourced from the standard model expectation for $N_{\rm {eff}}$ or could be a upwards statistical fluctuation in the measured $\beta _{\phi }$; this result relaxes in models with additional freedom beyond Lambda-cold dark matter.

Evaluation of phase shifts for nonrelativistic elastic scattering using quantum computers

Simulations of scattering processes are essential in understanding the physics of our universe. Computing relevant scattering quantities from ab initio methods is extremely difficult on classical devices because of the substantial computational resources needed. Here, this work reports the development of an algorithm that makes it possible to obtain phase shifts for generic nonrelativistic elastic scattering processes on a quantum computer. This algorithm is based on extracting phase shifts from the direct implementation of the real-time evolution. The algorithm is improved by a variational procedure making it more accurate and resistant to the quantum noise. The reliability of the algorithm is first demonstrated by means of classical numerical simulations for different potentials and later tested on existing quantum hardware, specifically on IBM quantum processors.

Multi-wavelength surface emitting quantum cascade laser based on equivalent phase shift

A novel surface emitting distributed feedback quantum cascade laser emitting around λ ∼ 4.6 μm is demonstrated by employing an equivalent phase shift (EPS) of quarter-wave (λ/4). The EPS is fabricated through extending one sampling period by 50% in the center of a sampled Bragg grating. Single-lobed far-field radiation pattern with a low divergence angle of about 0.6° × 16.8° is obtained. Selective single-mode lasing with a mean side mode suppression ratio above 20 dB and wavelength coverage range of 72 nm is achieved simultaneously on a single wafer only by changing the sampling period.

25 Gbit/s differential phase-shift-keying signal generation using directly modulated quantum-dot semiconductor optical amplifiers

Error-free generation of 25-Gbit/s differential phase-shift keying (DPSK) signals via direct modulation of InAs quantum-dot (QD) based semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) is experimentally demonstrated with an input power level of −5 dBm. The QD SOAs emit in the 1.3-μm wavelength range and provide a small-signal fiber-to-fiber gain of 8 dB. Furthermore, error-free DPSK modulation is achieved for constant optical input power levels from 3 dBm down to only −11 dBm for a bit rate of 20 Gbit/s. Direct phase modulation of QD SOAs via current changes is thus demonstrated to be much faster than direct gain modulation.

High dimensional binary classification under label shift: phase transition and regularization

Label Shift has been widely believed to be harmful to the generalization performance of machine learning models. Researchers have proposed many approaches to mitigate the impact of the label shift, e.g., balancing the training data. However, these methods often consider the underparametrized regime, where the sample size is much larger than the data dimension. The research under the overparametrized regime is very limited. Here, to bridge this gap, we propose a new asymptotic analysis of the Fisher Linear Discriminant classifier for binary classification with label shift. Specifically, we prove that there exists a phase transition phenomenon: Under certain overparametrized regime, the classifier trained using imbalanced data outperforms the counterpart with reduced balanced data. Moreover, we investigate the impact of regularization to the label shift: The aforementioned phase transition vanishes as the regularization becomes strong.

Phase-sensitive optical coherence reflectometer with differential phase-shift keying of probe pulses

We report a new method for reconstructing the signal shape of the external dynamic perturbations along the entire length of the fibre of an optical coherence reflectometer. The method proposed is based on differential phase-shift keying of a probe pulse and demodulation of scattered light by the phase diversity technique. Possibilities of the method are demonstrated experimentally. (fibre-optic sensors)

Scattering phase-shift formulas for mesons and baryons in elongated boxes

We derive Lüscher phase-shift formulas for two-particle states in boxes elongated in one of the dimensions. Such boxes offer a cost-effective way of varying the relative momentum of the particles. Boosted states in the elongated direction, which allow wider access to energies, are also considered. The formulas for the various scenarios (moving and zero-momentum states in cubic and elongated boxes) are compared, and relations between them are clarified. The results are applicable to a wide set of meson-meson and meson-baryon elastic scattering processes, with the two-particle system having equal or unequal masses.

Cavity Attenuated Phase Shift (CAPS) Monitor Instrument Handbook

The CAPS PMex monitor is a cavity attenuated phase shift extinction instrument. It operates as an optical extinction spectrometer, using a visible-light-emitting diode (LED) as the light source, a sample cell incorporating two high-reflectivity mirrors centered at the wavelength of the LED, and a vacuum photodiode detector. Its efficacy is based on the fact that aerosols are broadband scatterers and absorbers of light.

Supersymmetry-generated jost functions and nucleon–nucleon scattering phase shifts

By exploiting the supersymmetry-inspired factorization method higher partial wave Jost solutions and functions for nuclear Hulthen potential are constructed from the knowledge of the ground state wave function. As a case study the nucleon–nucleon scattering phase shifts are computed for partial waves ℓ = 0, 1, and 2.

Low energy scattering phase shifts for meson-baryon systems

Here, in this work, we calculate meson-baryon scattering phase shifts in four channels using lattice QCD methods. From a set of calculations at four volumes, corresponding to spatial sizes of 2, 2.5, 3, and 4 fm, and a pion mass of 𝑚 𝜋 ∼ 390 MeV, we determine the scattering lengths and effective ranges for these systems at the corresponding quark masses. We also perform the calculation at a lighter quark mass, 𝑚 𝜋 ∼ 230 MeV, on the largest volume. Using these determinations, along with those in previous work, we perform a chiral extrapolation of the scattering lengths to the physical point after correcting for the effective range contributions using the multivolume calculations performed at 𝑚 𝜋 ∼ 390 MeV.

Compact instantaneous phase-shifting Sagnac interferometer for nanoscale tilt measurement

There is a large inter disciplinary need for high precision angular sensors in state-of-the-art technologies. This particularly applies to optical metrology in the field of Extreme Ultraviolet (EUV) or X-ray where the optics are commonly characterized in terms of slope errors at a nanoradian scale level. Here, in this paper, we present the in-lab development of an angular sensor based on a single reflection compact Sagnac interferometer using instantaneous phase shifting. Our automated prototype and first results show less than 15 nrad RMS repeatability, at least 200 nrad sensitivity and 280 nrad reproducibility over 100 μrad angular range.

Triple Phase-Shift Optimization of SiC-based Dual-Active Bridge DC/AC Converter

This paper presents a loss-optimized Triple Phase-Shift (TPS) switching strategy for Dual-Active Bridge (DAB) based converters. The proposed strategy considers minimizing total converter loss with respect to minimizing device rms cur-rents, enabling Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) turn-on of devices and accurate control of device turn-off current. A model for switching currents is presented, followed by a loss model and optimization strategy. A 1.3kV/100kW prototype based on SiC MOSFETs was used in this work and experimental results up to 10kW show the proposed TPS strategy to be more efficient for operation.

A Fundamental Frequency Sorting Algorithm for Capacitor Voltage Balance of Modular Multilevel Converter With Low-Frequency Carrier Phase Shift Modulation

This paper proposes a fundamental frequency sorting algorithm for balancing the floating capacitors in modular multilevel converters with low-frequency carrier phase shift modulation. The relationship between the driving pulses and submodules (SMs) is rebuilt in every fundamental period by sorting the voltage increments and present voltages. Besides, an improved and simplified strategy is proposed to predict the charging abilities of the driving pulses, so as to avoid sorting the voltage increments. Based on the proposed method, the switching frequency of each power device and the carrier frequency are identical, which reduces the operational losses for applications regarding high power. At the same time, the sorting frequency is as low as the fundamental frequency, which alleviates a large amount of computational cost, and the necessity to measure arm currents is omitted. In this case, the arm current sensors are eliminated, and simplified communication among the central controller and the local ones is set up. Finally, a three-phase 1-MVA simulation platform with 120 SMs and a down-scaled 6-kVA experimental prototype with 48 SMs are constructed to validate the proposed approach.
