    Finite barrier bound state

    查看更多>>摘要:Photonic quantum computation plays an important role and offers unique advantages.Two decades after the milestone work of Knill-Laflamme-Milburn,various architectures of photonic processors have been proposed,and quantum advantage over classical computers has also been demonstrated.It is now the opportune time to apply this technology to real-world applications.However,at current technology level,this aim is restricted by either programmability in bulk optics or loss in integrated optics for the existing architectures of processors,for which the resource cost is also a problem.Here we present a von-Neumann-like architecture based on temporal-mode encoding and looped structure on table,which is capable of multimode-universal programmability,resource-efficiency,phase-stability and software-scalability.In order to illustrate these merits,we execute two different programs with varying resource requirements on the same processor,to investigate quantum signature of chaos from two aspects:the signature behaviors exhibited in phase space(13 modes),and the Fermi golden rule which has not been experimentally studied in quantitative way before(26 modes).The maximal program contains an optical interferometer network with 1694 freely-adjustable phases.Considering current state-of-the-art,our architecture stands as the most promising candidate for real-world applications.

    查看更多>>摘要:Whispering gallery mode(WGM)microtoroid resonators are one of the most sensitive biochemical sensors in existence,capable of detecting single molecules.The main barrier for translating these devices out of the laboratory is that light is evanescently coupled into these devices though a tapered optical fiber.This hinders translation of these devices as the taper is fragile,suffers from mechanical vibration,and requires precise positioning.Here,we eliminate the need for an optical fiber by coupling light into and out from a toroid via free-space coupling and monitoring the scattered resonant light.A single long working distance objective lens combined with a digital micromirror device(DMD)was used for light injection,scattered light collection,and imaging.We obtain Q-factors as high as 1.6 × 108 with this approach.Electromagnetically induced transparency(EIT)-like and Fano resonances were observed in a single cavity due to indirect coupling in free space.This enables improved sensing sensitivity.The large effective coupling area(~10μm in diameter for numerical aperture=0.14)removes the need for precise positioning.Sensing performance was verified by combining the system with the frequency locked whispering evanescent resonator(FLOWER)approach to perform temperature sensing experiments.A thermal nonlinear optical effect was examined by tracking the resonance through FLOWER while adjusting the input power.We believe that this work will be a foundation for expanding the implementation of WGM microtoroid resonators to real-world applications.

    查看更多>>摘要:With the fast development of artificial intelligence(AI),Internet of things(IOT),etc,there is an urgent need for the technology that can efficiently recognize,store and process a staggering amount of information.The AIScN material has unique advantages including immense remnant polarization,superior temperature stability and good lattice-match to other Ⅲ-nitrides,making it easy to integrate with the existing advanced Ⅲ-nitrides material and device technologies.However,due to the large band-gap,strong coercive field,and low photo-generated carrier generation and separation efficiency,it is difficult for AlScN itself to accumulate enough photo-generated carriers at the surface/interface to induce polarization inversion,limiting its application in in-memory sensing and computing.In this work,an electro-optic duplex memristor on a GaN/AlScN hetero-structure based Schottky diode has been realized.This two-terminal memristor shows good electrical and opto-electrical nonvolatility and reconfigurability.For both electrical and opto-electrical modes,the current on/off ratio can reach the magnitude of 104,and the resistance states can be effectively reset,written and long-termly stored.Based on this device,the"IMP"truth table and the logic"False"can be successfully reproduced,indicating the huge potential of the device in the field of in-memory sensing and computing.

    查看更多>>摘要:Broadband electroluminescence based on environment-friendly emitters is promising for healthy lighting yet remains an unprecedented challenge to progress.The copper halide-based emitters are competitive candidates for broadband emission,but their high-performance electroluminescence shows inadequate broad emission bandwidth of less than 90 nm.Here,we demonstrate efficient ultra-broadband electroluminescence from a copper halide(Cul)nanocluster single emitter prepared by a one-step solution synthesis-deposition process,through dedicated design of ligands and subtle selection of solvents.The Cul nanocluster exhibits high rigidity in the excitation state as well as dual-emissive modes of phosphorescence and temperature-activated delayed fluorescence,enabling the uniform cluster-composed film to show excellent stability and high photoluminescent efficiency.In consequence,ultra-broadband light-emitting diodes(LEDs)present nearly identical performance in an inert or air atmosphere without encapsulation and outstanding high-temperature operation performance,reaching an emission full width at half maximum(FWHM)of~120nm,a peak external quantum efficiency of 13%,a record maximum luminance of~50,000 cd m-2,and an operating half-lifetime of 137 h at 100 cd m-2.The results highlight the potential of copper halide nanoclusters for next-generation healthy lighting.

    查看更多>>摘要:Organic mechanoluminescence materials,featuring dual emission and ultralong phosphorescence characteristics,exhibit significant potential for applications in real-time stress sensing,pressure-sensitive lighting,advanced security marking techniques,and material breakage monitoring.However,due to immature molecular design strategies and unclear luminescence mechanisms,these materials remain rarely reported.In this study,we propose a valuable molecular design strategy to achieve dual-channel mechano-phosphorescence.By introducing the arylphosphine oxide group into a highly twisted molecular framework,enhanced intra-and intermolecular interactions could be achieved within rigid structures,leading to dual-channel mechanoluminescence with greatly promoted ultralong phosphorescence.Further investigations reveal the substantial boosting effect of intra-and intermolecular interactions on mechanoluminescence and ultralong phosphorescence properties by locking the highly twisted molecular skeleton.This work provides a concise and guiding route to develop novel smart responsive luminescence materials for widespread applications in material science.
