In this paper, we employ eight-level GHZ states as quantum channels to realize multi-hop quantum communication, and utilize the logical relationship between the measurements of each node to derive the unitary operation performed by the end node. The hierarchical simultaneous entanglement switching(HSES) method is adopted, resulting in a significant reduction in the consumption of classical information compared to multi-hop quantum teleportation(QT)based on general simultaneous entanglement switching(SES). In addition, the proposed protocol is simulated on the IBM Quantum Experiment platform(IBM QE). Then, the data obtained from the experiment are analyzed using quantum state tomography, which verifies the protocol's good fidelity and accuracy. Finally, by calculating fidelity, we analyze the impact of four different types of noise(phase-damping, amplitude-damping, phase-flip and bit-flip) in this protocol.展开更多

However, the photodetection performance of self-powered QD devices is still limited by their unfavorable charge carrier dynamics due to their intrinsically discrete charge carrier transport process. Herein, we strategically constructed semiconducting matrix in QD film to achieve efficient charge transfer and extraction.The p-type semiconducting CuSCN was selected as energy-aligned matrix to match the n-type colloidal PbS QDs that was used as proof-of-concept. Note that the PbS QD/CuSCN matrix not only enables efficient charge carrier separation and transfer at nano-interfaces but also provides continuous charge carrier transport pathways that are different from the hoping process in neat QD film, resulting in improved charge mobility and derived collection efficiency. As a result, the target structure delivers high specific detectivity of 4.38 × 10^(12)Jones and responsivity of 782 mA/W at 808 nm, which is superior than that of the PbS QD-only photodetector(4.66 × 10^(11)Jones and 338 mA/W). This work provides a new structure candidate for efficient colloidal QD based optoelectronic devices.展开更多

We then describe the coupling of two IQuO of different particle-fields either at one point in space or at two distant points via an intermediary chain of coupled IQuO. The first aspect provides an understanding of the basic processes of creating and annihilating a pair. The second aspect describes the behaviour of two electrically charged particles through a process of phase shifts between the respective IQuO chains (CF1, CF2) implemented in a quantum entanglement via an intermediary chain (CB) of IQuO that originates changes in the direction of the two (CF1, CF2) distance-correlated ones. Thus, the semi-quanta structure of an IQuO and quantum entanglement identify the origin of the empirical law of attraction and repulsion between two electric charges.展开更多

Although this phenomenon could be interpreted by a few theories, for example, the famous Copenhagen interpretation which describes that these states exist simultaneously by a wave function, however, there is still no unquestioned theory and it continues to puzzle people around the world. Here we propose a hypothesis that gravity cuts out stop functioning between subatomic particles based on the observations of a thought experiment. It is well known that the Universe is filled with various subatomic particles (e.g. cosmic neutrino background, CνB) and gravity is a universal force making any particle in the Universe attract any other. Based on these observations, it is expected that the CνB particles walking abreast will be combined together by their gravity after some time/distance, which will thus result in a greatly uneven distribution of CνB. However, the observational evidence showed that CνB is highly isotropic and homogenous, suggesting that gravity would no longer work at the subatomic scale. Thus, the relation of the paired subatomic particles would become some pure correlation of mass (or equivalent energy) status. In this case, time would be not required anymore due to the ineffectiveness of gravity. The proposed new interpretation matches the experimental observations well and finally possible thought experiments are presented to test this theory.展开更多

文摘In this second part of a study about quantum field oscillators with sub-oscillators and semi-quanta (IQuO), it is possible to show that in the initial phase of an interaction between two particles a no-dynamic process of reduction from a non-local to a local state takes place which cannot be described by Hamiltonian. We then describe the coupling of two IQuO of different particle-fields either at one point in space or at two distant points via an intermediary chain of coupled IQuO. The first aspect provides an understanding of the basic processes of creating and annihilating a pair. The second aspect describes the behaviour of two electrically charged particles through a process of phase shifts between the respective IQuO chains (CF1, CF2) implemented in a quantum entanglement via an intermediary chain (CB) of IQuO that originates changes in the direction of the two (CF1, CF2) distance-correlated ones. Thus, the semi-quanta structure of an IQuO and quantum entanglement identify the origin of the empirical law of attraction and repulsion between two electric charges.
文摘Quantum entanglement is a bizarre, counterintuitive phenomenon which shows that entangled subatomic particles remain related even when they are far apart, which was described by Einstein as “spooky action at a distance”. Although this phenomenon could be interpreted by a few theories, for example, the famous Copenhagen interpretation which describes that these states exist simultaneously by a wave function, however, there is still no unquestioned theory and it continues to puzzle people around the world. Here we propose a hypothesis that gravity cuts out stop functioning between subatomic particles based on the observations of a thought experiment. It is well known that the Universe is filled with various subatomic particles (e.g. cosmic neutrino background, CνB) and gravity is a universal force making any particle in the Universe attract any other. Based on these observations, it is expected that the CνB particles walking abreast will be combined together by their gravity after some time/distance, which will thus result in a greatly uneven distribution of CνB. However, the observational evidence showed that CνB is highly isotropic and homogenous, suggesting that gravity would no longer work at the subatomic scale. Thus, the relation of the paired subatomic particles would become some pure correlation of mass (or equivalent energy) status. In this case, time would be not required anymore due to the ineffectiveness of gravity. The proposed new interpretation matches the experimental observations well and finally possible thought experiments are presented to test this theory.
