    查看更多>>摘要:The estimation degree of a teleported state using two different quantum channels by means of quantum Fisher information is discussed. It consists of using two different noisy channels generated from an interaction between an open quantum system and its surrounding environment under Davies-Markovian dynamics. However, when small interacted system-environment parameters and a small number of detuning parameters are taken into account, a robust estimation degree is obtained. Moreover, it is possible to estimate various system-environment parameters related to the energy relaxation time and dephasing time. By controlling these parameters, we conclude that maximally entangled channels and robust estimation degrees by means of quantum Fisher information are achieved when the energy relaxation and dephasing times vanish.

    查看更多>>摘要:Quantum image processing deals with image processing applications in quantum computing. Features of quantum computing like superposition and parallelism give quantum algorithms superiority over classical algorithms. Image filters serve an important task in image processing for applying image transformations. In this paper, we proposed an algorithm for quantum image filters with a generic structure to support different filters. Pixel intensities are represented as rotation in Y-axis of Bloch sphere. The filter is implemented as addition or subtraction of the angles in Y-axis. The proposed algorithm is able to implement different image filters similar to a classical filter. We studied and presented the performance of the filter for edge detection and smoothing operation. The results are then compared to images from a classical filter. The algorithm is further compared with other existing QIP algorithms. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

In this paper, via inputting and detecting single photon states, quantum scissor operation is equivalent to a mixed superposition of three pure state projection operators, which means that the output states are always truncated for any input state. We theoretically prepare a class of non-Gaussian quantum states via thermal state truncation and investigate their statistical properties using average photon number, gain intensity and signal to noise ratio. It is shown that the intensity gain and signal to noise ratio greater than one can be achieved by modulating the thermal parameter and the transmissivity, which realizes the signal amplification and enhancement. Besides, quantum scissor operation can generate the highly non-classical quantum state by investigating the negativity volume of Wigner function. These results indicate that the usage of the new non-Gaussian states may have potential applications in certain quantum information processing. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Previously, questionnaires were often used to identify urban functional areas, with vast labor and poor timeliness. To address the issue, this paper applies data-driven behavioral analysis to identify functional areas for governments to construct urban design, offer site selection and manage transportation. Moreover, data-driven behavioral analysis can also be applied in student behaviors to help schools adjust facility arrangements, develop learning efficiency and provide high-quality services. Therefore, based on mobile phone data in Changchun, this paper utilizes a two-stage clustering method combining human mobility to identify urban functional areas, including business, working, residential and low passenger-flow areas. The interesting finding is that local prosperity in Changchun is prominent and the proportion of low passenger-flow areas can reflect the development level. Furthermore, this paper compares student behaviors in three schools, which shows each school varies in distribution features of students. Experiments provide enlightening insights to reveal the spatial structure of cities and comprehend the living state of students.(c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    查看更多>>摘要:Cascading failures in complex networks have attracted widespread attention in recent years. In this paper, a cascade model is proposed to analyze the potential overloads of nodes and edges simultaneously. First, some theoretical results for regular networks are detailed by the cascade model. The results show that in ring networks, as long as the capacity of each node or edge exceeds twice its initial load, the networks still work normally when an arbitrary node or edge breaks down, and in regular networks the failure of the farthest edges is most likely to induce cascades and the robustness of regular networks becomes stronger with the increase in the number of edges. Furthermore, an indicator evaluating the damage of the cascades is introduced. The analysis on the robustness of some typical networks indicates that WS networks can resist cascading failures more effectively and the robustness performance of WS networks can be improved by increasing rewiring probabilities. In BA networks, the failure of a critical node may pull down the whole networks, while the networks still function normally even if any edge breaks down. Finally, a forecasting indicator, called modified betweenness centrality, is proposed to identify critical nodes and experimental results show that the proposed indicator outperforms other typical indicators in identifying critical nodes.

    查看更多>>摘要:We investigate the multipartite entanglement and the trace distance for the two-dimensional anisotropic spin -1/2 XXZ lattice with Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. It is found that for a many-body quantum system the multipartite entanglement is more advantageous than the bipartite entanglement due to the monogamy property. Both the quantifiers, the multipartite entanglement and the trace distance, decreases with an increase in the anisotropy and the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction tends to restore the spoiled entanglement. The quantum reormalization group method is used to compute the stable and the unstable fixed points. We observe that the quantum phase transition point is independent of the chosen quantifier as the thermodynamic limit is reached. After sufficient iterations of the quantum renormalization group, we observe two different saturated values of both the quantifiers that represent two separate phases, the spin-fluid phase and the Neel phase. The first derivative and the scaling behavior of the renormalized entanglement quantifiers are calculated. At quantum phase transition point, the non-analytic behavior of the first derivative of the two quantifiers as a function of lattice size is examined and it is found that the universal finite-size scaling law is obeyed. Furthermore, we observe that at the critical point the scaling exponent for the multipartite entanglement and the trace distance can describe the correlation length of the model.(C) 2022 Elsevier B.V.

    查看更多>>摘要:In this paper, a general formulation of entropy is proposed. It depends on two parameters and includes Shannon, Tsallis and fractional entropy, all as special cases. This measure of information is referred to as fractional Tsallis entropy and some of its properties are then studied. Furthermore, the corresponding entropy in the context of Dempster-Shafer theory of evidence is proposed and referred to as fractional version of Tsallis-Deng entropy. Finally, an application to two classification problems is presented. (C) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    查看更多>>摘要:Center of pressure (COP) signals have been widely used to investigate various aspects of human balance during quiet standing. Here, we compute a set of measures - including burstiness, memory and local variation - to quantify temporal patterns in COP zero-crossings. Specifically, we investigate the effect of stance type (bipedal and unipedal) on the proposed measures. Data were obtained from a group of 20 health and young subjects. The results suggest that these measures are able to detect differences in zero-crossing patterns between bipedal and unipedal stance. We also perform a test-retest reliability analysis for each measure and a pairwise correlation analysis for combinations of measures. Finally, we discuss some potential implications of our results for the study of human balance. (c) 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    查看更多>>摘要:In this paper, we show that the elementary excitations of interacting spin lattice models, such as the Ising models, the Heisenberg models and the abelian Kitaev anyons, can be regarded as the quasiparticles of Gentile statistics. The advantage of the quasiparticle viewpoint is that eigenvalues and eigenstates of these models can be directly obtained by creating and annihilating Gentile quasiparticles. We provide the eigenstates and eigenvalues of d-dimensional Ising model with periodic boundary conditions. We also provide the eigenvalues of the Heisenberg models, the abelian Kitaev anyons, 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional general spin lattice models. In addition, we point out that one kind of next nearest neighbor interacting models and more general interacting model may correspond to several kinds of quasiparticles of Gentile statistics.

The spin and the chirality correlation lengths are measured. We provide evidence that the "mixed chiral " phase is a chiral glass at a finite temperature transition TCG > 0, whereas the spin glass temperature transition is at T-SG = 0 for D = 0. In the anisotropic case we find that the model exhibited a strong evidence the occurrence of finite temperature transitions in the both sectors the spin and the chirality. Our estimate of the spin and chirality correlation-length exponents are compatible with our previous values obtained for the same model without anisotropy and the 3d Heisenberg spin glass.(C) 2022 Elsevier B.V.
