For the first time we derive that the probability of the atom being in the α-th （α = j ＋ 1 -jz, j is the angular momentum quantum number, jz is the z-component of angular momentum） state is {（1 - K/G）/[1 - （K/G）2j＋1]}（K/G）^α-1 as t → ＋∞, which coincides with the fact that when K/G 〉 1, the larger the a is, the larger the probability of the atom being in the α-th state （the lower excited state） is. We also consider the case for some possible generaizations of the atomic master equation.展开更多

The purpose of this study was to clarify the effects of differences in molding mechanisms on the lower molding temperature limit and molding time in dental thermoforming. Ethylene vinyl acetate resin mouthguard sheet and two thermoforming machines;vacuum blower molding machine and vacuum ejector/pressure molding machine were used. The molding pressures for suction molding were −0.018 MPa for vacuum blower molding and −0.090 MPa for vacuum ejector molding, and for pressure molding was set to 0.090 MPa or 0.450 MPa. Based on the manufacturer’s standard molding temperature of 95˚C, the molding temperature was lowered in 2.5˚C increments to determine the lower molding temperature limit at which no molding defects occurred. In order to investigate the difference in molding time depending on the molding mechanism, the duration of molding pressure was adjusted in each molding machine, and the molding time required to obtain a sample without molding defects was measured. The molding time of each molding machine were compared using one-way analysis of variance. The lower molding temperature limit was 90.0˚C for the vacuum blower machine, 77.5˚C for the vacuum ejector machine, 77.5˚C for the pressure molding machine at 0.090 MPa, and 67.5˚C for the pressure molding machine at 0.45 MPa. The lower molding temperature limit was higher for lower absolute values of molding pressure. The molding time was shorter for pressure molding than for suction molding. Significant differences were observed between all conditions except between the pressure molding machine at 0.090 MPa and 0.45 MPa (P < 0.01). A comparison of the differences in lower molding temperature limit and molding time due to molding mechanisms in dental thermoforming revealed that the lower molding temperature limit depends on the molding pressure and that the molding time is longer for suction molding than for pressure molding.展开更多

Our results show that the two different feedback control schemes have different influences on the evolutionary speed. By adjusting the feedback parameters, the quantum-jump-based feedback control can induce speedup of the atomic evolution from an excited state, but the homodyne-based feedback control cannot change the evolutionary speed. Additionally, the QSLT for the whole dynamical process is explored. Under the quantum-jump-based feedback control, the QSLT displays oscillatory behaviors, which implies multiple speed-up and speed-down processes during the evolution. While, the homodyne-based feedback control can accelerate the speed-up process and improve the uniform speed in the uniform evolution process.展开更多

Our results show that, with respect to two distinguishable states of the non-Hermitian system, the evolutionary time does not have a nonzero lower bound. The quantum evolution of the system can be effectively accelerated by adjusting the non-Hermitian parameter, as well as the quantum speed limit time can be arbitrarily small even be zero.展开更多

This article concerns the problem of determining a time-limited signal f with period 2π when ｜f（eix）l is known for x∈[-π,π]. It is shown that the conditions ｜g（eix）｜ = ｜f（eix）｜ and ｜g（ci（x＋b）） -g（eix）｜ =f（ei（x＋b）） - f（eix）｜, b ≠ 27π, together imply that either g = wf or g = v f, where both w and v have period b. Furthermore, if b/2π is irrational then the functions w and v b is rational then w takes the form reduce to some constants c1 and c2, respectively; ifb/2π is rational then w takes the form w=elexB1（e1x）B2（elx）and v takes the form ei（x2πN/b＋a）B1（elx）B2（elx）,where B1 and B2 are Blaschke products.展开更多

This behavior can limit the applicability of coherence analysis in the special case where the time series are band-limited (nearly-monoch- romatic) and where sensitivity to phase differences is advantageous. We propose a simple mod-ification to the usual formula for coherence in which the cross-spectrum is replaced by its real part. The resulting quantity behaves similarly to coherence, except that it is sensitive to relative phase when the signals being compared are strongly band-limited. Furthermore, it has a useful interpretation in terms of the zero-lag cross-correlation of real band-passed versions of the time series.展开更多

文摘We study the long-time limit behavior of the solution to an atom＇s master equation. For the first time we derive that the probability of the atom being in the α-th （α = j ＋ 1 -jz, j is the angular momentum quantum number, jz is the z-component of angular momentum） state is {（1 - K/G）/[1 - （K/G）2j＋1]}（K/G）^α-1 as t → ＋∞, which coincides with the fact that when K/G 〉 1, the larger the a is, the larger the probability of the atom being in the α-th state （the lower excited state） is. We also consider the case for some possible generaizations of the atomic master equation.

文摘We investigate the quantum speed limit time （QSLT） of a two-level atom under quantum-jump-based feedback control or homodyne-based feedback control. Our results show that the two different feedback control schemes have different influences on the evolutionary speed. By adjusting the feedback parameters, the quantum-jump-based feedback control can induce speedup of the atomic evolution from an excited state, but the homodyne-based feedback control cannot change the evolutionary speed. Additionally, the QSLT for the whole dynamical process is explored. Under the quantum-jump-based feedback control, the QSLT displays oscillatory behaviors, which implies multiple speed-up and speed-down processes during the evolution. While, the homodyne-based feedback control can accelerate the speed-up process and improve the uniform speed in the uniform evolution process.
