On Fidelity Per Unit Cost

We consider source coding with a ﬁdelity criterion, channel coding with a channel input constraint, and the combined problem of reproducing a source across a noisy channel. All three cases face a similar tradeoff between resource and performance, and the o ...

Superconducting nanowire photon-number-resolving detector at telecommunication wavelengths

Francis Lévy, Konstantinos Lagoudakis, Francesco Marsili, Alessandro Gaggero

Optical-to-electrical conversion, which is the basis of the operation of optical detectors, can be linear or nonlinear. When high sensitivities are needed, single-photon detectors are used, which operate in a strongly nonlinear mode, their response being i ...

Successive refinement via broadcast: Optimizing expected distortion of a Gaussian source over a Gaussian fading channel

Suhas Diggavi

We consider the problem of transmitting a Gaussian source on a slowly fading Gaussian channel, subject to the mean-squared error distortion measure. The channel state information is known only at the receiver but not at the transmitter. The source is assum ...

Exciton localization and diffusion in low-dimensional nanostructures formed on non-planar substrates

Nicolas Moret

Quantum wells (QWs), quantum wires (QWRs) and quantum dots (QDs) are semiconductor heterostructures with nanoscopic dimensions. At this length scale, their properties are governed by quantum mechanics. The interest in these nanostructures is motivated by a ...

Laboratory tests of composite wood-concrete beams

Julius Natterer

Exploratory research related to the effectiveness of layered composite solid wood-concrete floor systems is described. Rectangular beams comprised of a concrete layer atop a solid dimension lumber layer were load tested. Interlayer force transfer is accomp ...

The case for structured random codes in network communication theorems

Michael Christoph Gastpar

In the Shannon-theoretic analysis of joint source-channel coding problems, achievability is usually established via a two-stage approach: The sources are compressed into bits' and these bits are reliably communicated across the noisy channels. Random codin ...

Quantum Dot Exciton Dynamics Probed by Photon-Correlation Spectroscopy

Elyahou Kapon, Daniel Oberli, Martin Henrik Baier

The dynamics of charging and recombination of photoexcited, site-controlled semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are investigated using microphotoluminescence (PL) and photon-correlation spectroscopy combined with rate equation modeling. Several species of neu ...

A unified electrostatic and cavitation model for first-principles molecular dynamics in solution

Nicola Marzari, Matteo Cococcioni, François Gygi

The electrostatic continuum solvent model developed by [Fattebert and Gygi J. Comput. Chem. 23, 662 (2002); Int. J. Quantum Chem. 93, 139 (2003)] is combined with a first-principles formulation of the cavitation energy based on a natural quantum-mechanical ...

Dephasing representation of quantum fidelity for general pure and mixed states

Jiri Vanicek

A general semiclassical expression for quantum fidelity (Loschmidt echo) of arbitrary pure and mixed states is derived. It expresses fidelity as an interference sum of dephasing trajectories weighed by the Wigner function of the initial state, and does not ...
