In case of quantum correlations between quantum entities, spin supercurrent emerges between virtual particles pairs (virtual photons) created by those quantum entities. The explanation of magnetic vector potential and near-field antenna effect is based on contemporary principle of quantum mechanics: the physical vacuum is not an empty space but the ground state of the field consisting of quantum harmonic oscillators (QHOs) characterized by zero-point energy. Using the properties of the oscillators and spin supercurrent, it is proved that magnetic vector potential is proportional to the moment causing the orientation of spin of QHO along the direction of magnetic field. The near-field antenna effect is supposed to take place as a result of action of spin supercurrent causing secondary electromagnetic oscillations. In this way, the electromagnetic field may spread at the speed of spin supercurrent. As spin supercurrent is an inertia free process, its speed may be greater than that of light, which does not contradict postulates of special relativity that sets limits to the speed of inertial systems only.展开更多

文摘Flexible materials with perovskite quantum dots(PQDs)are widely used in the field of photonics and opto-electronics due to their unique properties.Development of new materials based on these nanoparticles,incorporated into flexible and lightweight nonwoven fabrics,demonstrated high photoconductivity and efficient light energy conversion.In this work,we propose a method for creating a stable luminescent nonwoven material using electrospinning,in which inorganic salt precursors are used without the need for additional stabilizers.Equimolar solutions of cesium and lead(Ⅱ)bromide were mixed with a fluoroplast,resulting in a series of samples.Luminescent materials were obtained containing PQDs with a composition of CsPbBr_(3),with emission peaks ranging from 507 to 517 nm under 365-nm excitation.We have experimentally established and theoretically confirmed that the peak position is related to the size of the particles formed in the fiber during electrospinning and depends on processing time.Developed materials exhibited stable luminescent properties for up to 2.5 years,making them a promising candidate for the development of new flexible optoelectronic devices based on PQDs.

文摘Weak measurement offers a powerful framework for probing nonclassical features of quantum mechanics,with anomalous weak values serving as operational signatures of contextuality.While the anomalous weak value verification of quantum contextuality has been predominantly investigated in the single-photon regime and analyzed under approximation condition of infinitesimally small perturbation strength.This study releases the approximation condition and takes into account the impact of perturbation strength on the rigor of the verification.And the investigation on the verification of contextuality is extended to the multi-photon scenarios for observing the influence of the correlation between photons on the verification.Without the limitation of infinitesimally small probability of disturbance,anomalous weak values are identified as necessary for contextuality to emerge,thereby refining the criterion proposed by Pusey[Phys.Rev.Lett.113200401(2014)].In the multi-photon scenarios,the emergence of contextuality also depends strongly on both the photon number and the photon-number distribution state.In particular,contextuality is found to be maximized when the single-photon component dominates and the second-order correlation is lower.These results highlight the critical role of photon statistics in experimental tests of contextuality via anomalous weak values.

文摘Replicating the chaotic characteristics inherent in nonlinear dynamical systems via machine learning(ML)is a key challenge in this rapidly advancing interdisciplinary field.In this work,we explore the potential of variational quantum circuits(VQC)for learning the stochastic properties of classical nonlinear dynamical systems.Specifically,we focus on the one-and two-dimensional logistic maps,which,while simple,remain under-explored in the context of learning dynamical characteristics.Our findings reveal that,even for such simple dynamical systems,accurately replicating longterm characteristics is hindered by a pronounced sensitivity to overfitting.While increasing the parameter complexity of the ML model typically enhances short-term prediction accuracy,it also leads to a degradation in the model’s ability to replicate long-term characteristics,primarily due to the detrimental effects of overfitting on generalization power.By comparing the VQC with two widely recognized classical ML techniques,which are long short-term memory(LSTM)networks for timeseries processing and reservoir computing,we demonstrate that VQC outperforms these methods in terms of replicating long-term characteristics.Our results suggest that for the ML of dynamics,it is demanded to develop more compact and efficient models(such as VQC)rather than more complicated and large-scale ones.

文摘Ensuring the reliability of power transmission networks depends heavily on the early detection of faults in key components such as insulators,which serve both mechanical and electrical functions.Even a single defective insulator can lead to equipment breakdown,costly service interruptions,and increased maintenance demands.While unmanned aerial vehicles(UAVs)enable rapid and cost-effective collection of high-resolution imagery,accurate defect identification remains challenging due to cluttered backgrounds,variable lighting,and the diverse appearance of faults.To address these issues,we introduce a real-time inspection framework that integrates an enhanced YOLOv10 detector with a Hybrid Quantum-Enhanced Graph Neural Network(HQGNN).The YOLOv10 module,fine-tuned on domainspecific UAV datasets,improves detection precision,while the HQGNN ensures multi-object tracking and temporal consistency across video frames.This synergy enables reliable and efficient identification of faulty insulators under complex environmental conditions.Experimental results show that the proposed YOLOv10-HQGNN model surpasses existing methods across all metrics,achieving Recall of 0.85 and Average Precision(AP)of 0.83,with clear gains in both accuracy and throughput.These advancements support automated,proactive maintenance strategies that minimize downtime and contribute to a safer,smarter energy infrastructure.
文摘The increasing popularity of quantum computing has resulted in a considerable rise in demand for cloud quantum computing usage in recent years.Nevertheless,the rapid surge in demand for cloud-based quantum computing resources has led to a scarcity.In order to meet the needs of an increasing number of researchers,it is imperative to facilitate efficient and flexible access to computing resources in a cloud environment.In this paper,we propose a novel quantum computing paradigm,Virtual QPU(VQPU),which addresses this issue and enhances quantum cloud throughput with guaranteed circuit fidelity.The proposal introduces three innovative concepts:(1)The integration of virtualization technology into the field of quantum computing to enhance quantum cloud throughput.(2)The introduction of an asynchronous execution of circuits methodology to improve quantum computing flexibility.(3)The development of a virtual QPU allocation scheme for quantum tasks in a cloud environment to improve circuit fidelity.The concepts have been validated through the utilization of a self-built simulated quantum cloud platform.

文摘Relaxation processes in quantum systems coupled to external environments represent one of the most fundamental nonequilibrium phenomena in condensed matter physics.The Lindblad master equation provides a powerful framework for characterizing such open quantum dynamics.In this work,we systematically investigate how different types of quantum jump operators and system geometries influence the Liouvillian gap and the properties of the nonequilibrium steady state(NESS)in finite-size systems.We demonstrate that,due to the intricate structure of the Liouvillian superoperator,multiple NESSs with unphysical characteristics can emerge.The physically meaningful steady state must instead be understood as a superposition of these NESSs that collectively satisfy the required physical constraints.Furthermore,we find that the Liouvillian gap does not necessarily increase monotonically with the system-environment coupling strength.Instead,it can exhibit a nontrivial peak structure,corresponding to a minimum in the relaxation time.The magnitude of this peak is closely related to the symmetry properties of the system.Our results provide a deeper understanding of nonequilibrium behavior in finite quantum systems and offer new insights into the design and control of open quantum dynamics.

文摘The development of novel quantum many-body computational algorithms relies on robust benchmarking.However,generating such benchmarks is often hindered by the massive computational resources required for exact diagonalization or quantum Monte Carlo simulations,particularly at finite temperatures.In this work,we propose a new algorithm for obtaining thermal pure quantum states,which allows efficient computation of both mechanical and thermodynamic properties at finite temperatures.We implement this algorithm in our open-source C++template library,Physica.Combining the improved algorithm with state-of-the-art software engineering,our implementation achieves high performance and numerical stability.As an example,we demonstrate that for the 4×4 Hubbard model,our method runs approximately 10~3times faster than HΦ3.5.2.Moreover,the accessible temperature range is extended down toβ=32 across arbitrary doping levels.These advances significantly push forward the frontiers of benchmarking for quantum many-body systems.
