Non-Markovian Relaxation of a Three-Level System: Quantum Trajectory Approach
The non-Markovian dynamics of a three-level quantum system coupled to a bosonic environment is a difficult problem due to the lack of an exact dynamic equation such as a master equation. We present for the first time an exact quantum trajectory approach to a dissipative three-level model. We have established a convolutionless stochastic Schr\"odinger equation called the time-local quantum state diffusion (QSD) equation without any approximations, in particular, without Markov approximation. Our exact time-local QSD equation opens a new avenue for exploring quantum dynamics for a higher dimensional quantum system coupled to a non-Markovian environment.

Generation of Bell and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states from a hybrid qubit-photon-magnon system
We propose a level-resolved protocol in a hybrid architecture for connecting a superconducting qubit and a magnon mode contained within a microwave cavity (resonator) to generate local and global entangled states, enabling a wide range of applications in quantum communication, quantum metrology, and quantum information processing. Exploiting the high-degree controllability in such a hybrid qubit-photon-magnon system, we derive the effective Hamiltonians at the second-order resonant points by virtue of the strong general Rabi interactions between the resonator and the qubit and between the resonator and the magnon. Consequently, we can efficiently generate the Bell states of the photon-magnon and the qubit-magnon subsystems and the Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger state of the whole hybrid system. The robustness of our protocol is checked against a nonvanishing tuning time of system frequency and the environmental noise by the Lindblad master equation. Our work makes this hybrid platform of high-degree controllability a high-fidelity candidate for preparing the multiple maximally entangled states.

Magnon-assisted photon-phonon conversion in the presence of structured environments
Quantum conversion or interface is one of the most prominent protocols in quantum information processing and quantum state engineering. We propose a photon-phonon conversion protocol in a hybrid magnomechanical system comprising a microwave optical mode, a driven magnon mode, and a mechanical-vibrating mode, which has attracted much interest and is expected to become a building block of the future quantum information network due to its controllability in coupling strengths. The microwave photons in the optical cavity are coupled to the magnons by the Zeeman interaction, and the latter are coupled to the mechanical phonons by the magnetostrictive interaction. With a strong photon-magnon interaction and a strong driving on the magnon, an effective Hamiltonian is constructed to describe the conversion between photons and phonons near their resonant point. The cavity-magnon system can then play the role of quantum memory. Moreover, the faithfulness of the photon-phonon conversion is estimated in terms of fidelities for state evolution and state-independent transfer. The former is discussed in the Lindblad master equation, taking account of the leakages of photons, phonons, and magnons into consideration. The latter is derived by the Heisenberg-Langevin equation considering the non-Markovian noise from the structured environments for both optical and mechanical modes. The state-evolution fidelity is found to be robust to the weak leakage. The transfer fidelity can be maintained by the Ohmic and sub-Ohmic environments of the photons and is insensitive to the $1/f$ noise of the phonons. Our work thus provides an interesting application for the magnon system as a photon-phonon converter in the microwave regime.

Effects of Sewage Sludge Cadmium Concentration on Chemical Extractability and Plant Uptake
Abstract Seventeen anaerobically digested sludges of widely varying total Cd contents were used to test the hypothesis that, at a fixed Cd application rate, plant uptake of the metal is proportional to Cd concentration in the sludge. Proof of this hypothesis would support the concept of a “clean” sludge as a mechanism for reducing risk of food‐chain contamination by sludge Cd. The sludges varied in total Cd content from 0.07 to 2.02 mmol/kg. The sludges were extracted with: (i) 0.05 M Ca(NO 3 ) 2 : (ii) 0.05 M Ca(NO 3 ) 2 plus 50 µ M Na‐EDTA (ethylene diamine tetraacetate); and (iii) Chelex 100 resin. Total concentrations of Cd and major cations and anions were determined in the equilibrium salt solutions, and the chemical speciation program GEOCHEM was used to calculate Cd 2+ activities. Uptake of Cd by sudax [ Sorghum bicolor (L.) Moench], a hybrid of sorghum [ Sorghum vulgare (L.) Moench] and sudangrass ( Sorghum vulgare var. sudanense ), was measured in a pot study at constant Cd application rates of 11 and 22 µmol/kg soil. Sudax was seeded into acid‐washed sand in paper pots with bottoms removed and the sand held in place with cheesecloth. After full root development, the pots were placed on similar containers containing 500 g (oven‐dry basis) of Spinks loamy sand (Typic Udipsamment) and grown for 6 wk. The aboveground biomass was weighed and analyzed for Cd. Total Cd (Cd T ) and Cd 2+ in Ca(NO 3 ) 2 and Ca(NO 3 )/EDTA, and resin‐extractable Cd were all correlated positively with each other and with sludge Cd T . Plant uptake of Cd was positively correlated with sludge Cd T ( R 2 = 0.33), Ca(NO 3 ) 2 ‐Cd T ( R 2 = 0.91), Ca(NO 3 ) 2 ‐Cd 2+ (0.89), Ca(NO 3 )/EDTA‐Cd T ( R 2 = 0.94), Ca(NO 3 )/EDTA‐Cd 2+ (0.90), and resin‐Cd ( R 2 = 0.92) Uptake was better correlated with Cd/P ratios in sludge than with Cd content alone. The results of this study support the hypothesis that plant uptake is controlled, in part, by sludge Cd chemistry, specifically sludge Cd content, and suggests that “clean” sludges pose less of a risk to the food chain than more contaminated sludges at equal sludge application rates.

Dynamics of interacting qubits coupled to a common bath: Non-Markovian quantum-state-diffusion approach
Non-Markovian dynamics is studied for two interacting qubits strongly coupled to a dissipative bosonic environment. We derive a non-Markovian quantum-state-diffusion (QSD) equation for the coupled two-qubit system without any approximations, and in particular, without the Markov approximation. As an application and illustration of our derived time-local QSD equation, we investigate the temporal behavior of quantum coherence dynamics. In particular, we find a strongly non-Markovian regime where entanglement generation is significantly modulated by the environmental memory. Additionally, we study residual entanglement in the steady state by analyzing the steady-state solution of the QSD equation. Finally, we discuss an approximate QSD equation.

Nonperturbative Leakage Elimination Operators and Control of a Three-Level System
Dynamical decoupling operations have been shown to reduce errors in quantum information processing. Leakage from an encoded subspace to the rest of the system space is a particularly serious problem for which leakage elimination operators (LEOs) were introduced. Here we provide an analysis of nonideal pulses, rather than the well-understood idealization or bang-bang controls. Under realistic conditions, we show that these controls will provide the same protection from errors as idealized controls. Our work indicates that the effectiveness of LEOs depends on the integral of the pulse sequence in the time domain, which has been missing because of the idealization of pulse sequences. Our results are applied to a three-level system for the nitrogen-vacancy centers under an external magnetic field and are illustrated by the fidelity dynamics of LEO sequences, ranging from regular rectangular pulses, random pulses, and even disordered (noisy) pulses.

Classification and identification of epileptic EEG signals based on signal enhancement
Epilepsy is a common chronic brain disorder. The complexity and suddenness of seizures make it difficult to obtain EEG signals. Therefore, the detection and diagnosis of epilepsy is challenging. Aiming at the poor classification and recognition effect of small sample epileptic EEG signals, this paper proposes a classification and recognition method based on signal enhancement. Firstly, the improved sliding window weighting method is used to remove the noise component and enhance the target signal. Then discrete wavelet transform is used to select the appropriate frequency band information, and non-zero processing is performed on the selected frequency band information, which can achieve the effect of feature enhancement in the feature extraction stage. Finally, the extracted features are input into a support vector machine (SVM) classifier for classification and recognition. The experimental results on the public database show that the proposed method can effectively realize classification and recognition in the environment of small sample EEG signals, and the classification accuracy is 96.59%. This result proves the superiority of our method in the classification of healthy, inter-ictal state and seizure state EEG signals.

Floquet generation of a magnonic NOON state
We propose a concise and deterministic protocol to generate NOON states in a hybrid system consisting of a superconducting qubit, a circuit resonator mode, and two magnonic modes, based on Floquet engineering. In particular, we construct a time-reversal-symmetry broken Hamiltonian for chiral state propagation of the three continuous-variable modes depending on qubit state, by the time modulation over qubit-resonator interaction and magnon frequency. Then, an arbitrary magnonic NOON state can be generated by a typical preparing-and-measurement procedure. We analyze the robustness of our protocol against the systematic errors in the qubit-magnon coupling strength, the Floquet-driving intensity, the frequency mismatch of the magnons, and the counterrotating interactions. We can obtain a high-fidelity NOON state in the presence of quantum dissipation on all components.

Inverse engineering control in open quantum systems
We propose a scheme for inverse engineering control in open quantum systems. Starting from an undetermined time evolution operator, a time-dependent Hamiltonian is derived in order to guide the system to attain an arbitrary target state at a predefined time. We calculate the fidelity of our inverse engineering control protocol in the presence of the noise with respect to the stochastic fluctuation of the linear parameters of the Hamiltonian during the time evolution. For a special family of Hamiltonians for two-level systems, we show that the control evolution of the system under noise can be categorized into two standard decohering processes: dephasing and depolarization, for both Markovian and non-Markovian conditions. In particular, we illustrate our formalism by analyzing the robustness of the engineered target state against errors. Moreover, we discuss the generalization of the inverse protocol for higher-dimensional systems.

Expedited Holonomic Quantum Computation via Net Zero-Energy-Cost Control in Decoherence-Free Subspace
Abstract Holonomic quantum computation (HQC) may not show its full potential in quantum speedup due to the prerequisite of a long coherent runtime imposed by the adiabatic condition. Here we show that the conventional HQC can be dramatically accelerated by using external control fields, of which the effectiveness is exclusively determined by the integral of the control fields in the time domain. This control scheme can be realized with net zero energy cost and it is fault-tolerant against fluctuation and noise, significantly relaxing the experimental constraints. We demonstrate how to realize the scheme via decoherence-free subspaces. In this way we unify quantum robustness merits of this fault-tolerant control scheme, the conventional HQC and decoherence-free subspace, and propose an expedited holonomic quantum computation protocol.

Chemical bath deposition of SnS nanosheet thin films for FTO/SnS/CdS/Pt photocathode
SnS nanosheet thin films were prepared by chemical bath deposition in acidic solution, which used tin (II) chloride dihydrate and thioacetamide as precursors of Sn and S, respectively. The influences of pH levels, precursors' mole ratios, deposition times on the physical properties of SnS nanosheet thin films were investigated. The sheet-like morphologies and compositions of as-deposited SnS thin film were characterized by Scanning electron microscope (SEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD), Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) were used to confirm the crystal structures and phase purities of SnS nanosheet thin films. When employed as a photocathode for photo-electrochemical (PEC) solar hydrogen production, the as-deposited SnS nanosheet thin films yielded photocurrent densities of 31.94 μA cm−2 at −0.4 V under illumination of AM 1.5G. After deposition of CdS and Pt layers, the cathodic photocurrent densities of FTO/SnS/CdS/Pt and FTO/annealed SnS/CdS/Pt were improved to 0.572 mA cm−2 and 0.702 mA cm−2, respectively, which demonstrated the great potential of using earth-abundant SnS for efficient hydrogen production.

Fundamental Speed Limits to the Generation of Quantumness
Abstract Quantum physics dictates fundamental speed limits during time evolution. We present a quantum speed limit governing the generation of nonclassicality and the mutual incompatibility of two states connected by time evolution. This result is used to characterize the timescale required to generate a given amount of quantumness under an arbitrary physical process. The bound is found to be tight under pure dephasing dynamics. More generally, our analysis reveals the dependence on the initial and final states and non-Markovian effects.

Quantum Zeno effects across a parity-time symmetry breaking transition in atomic momentum space
Abstract We experimentally study quantum Zeno effects in a parity-time (PT) symmetric cold atom gas periodically coupled to a reservoir. Based on the state-of-the-art control of inter-site couplings of atoms in a momentum lattice, we implement a synthetic two-level system with passive PT symmetry over two lattice sites, where an effective dissipation is introduced through repeated couplings to the rest of the lattice. Quantum Zeno (anti-Zeno) effects manifest in our experiment as the overall dissipation of the two-level system becoming suppressed (enhanced) with increasing coupling intensity or frequency. We demonstrate that quantum Zeno regimes exist in the broken PT symmetry phase, and are bounded by exceptional points separating the PT symmetric and PT broken phases, as well as by a discrete set of critical coupling frequencies. Our experiment establishes the connection between PT-symmetry-breaking transitions and quantum Zeno effects, and is extendable to higher dimensions or to interacting regimes, thanks to the flexible control with atoms in a momentum lattice.

One-component dynamical equation and noise-induced adiabaticity
The adiabatic theorem addresses the dynamics of a target instantaneous eigenstate of a time-dependent Hamiltonian. We use a Feshbach P-Q partitioning technique to derive a closed one-component integro-differential equation. The resultant equation properly traces the footprint of the target eigenstate. The physical significance of the derived dynamical equation is illustrated by both general analysis and concrete examples. We find an interesting phenomenon showing that a dephasing white noise can enhance and even induce adiabaticity. This phenomenon, distinguishing itself from any artificial control process, may occur in natural physical processes. We also show that particular white noises can shorten the total duration of dynamic processing, such as in adiabatic quantum computing.

Non-Abelian holonomic transformation in the presence of classical noise
It is proposed that high-speed universal quantum gates can be realized by using non-Abelian holonomic transformation. A cyclic evolution path which brings the system periodically back to a degenerate qubit subspace is crucial to holonomic quantum computing. The cyclic nature and the resulting gate operations are fully dependent on the precise control of driving parameters, such as the modulated envelop function of Rabi frequency and the control phases. We investigate the effects of fluctuations in these driving parameters on the transformation fidelity of a universal set of single-qubit quantum gates. We compare the damage effects from different noise sources and determine the ``sweet spots'' in the driving parameter space. The nonadiabatic non-Abelian quantum gate is found to be more susceptible to classical noises on the envelop function than that on the control phases. We also extend our study to a two-qubit quantum gate.

Microwave-controlled optical double optomechanically induced transparency in a hybrid piezo-optomechanical cavity system
We propose a scheme that is able to generate the microwave controlled optical double optome-chanical induced transparency (OMIT) in a hybrid piezo-optomechanical cavity system, which a piezoelectric optomechanical crystal AlN-nanobeam resonator is placed in a superconducting microwave cavity, and the AlN-nanobeam resonator can be simultaneously driven by both the optical field via the radiation pressure and the microwave field via the piezoelectric interaction. We show that in the presence of a strong pumped optical field applied to the optomechanical crystal cavity through the optical waveguide and an intensely stimulated microwave field applied to the superconducting microwave cavity, a double-OMIT window can be observed in the weak output probe field. The mechanism is that a N-type four-level system can be formed by the system, when two driving fields and a probe field are applied to the corresponding levels, under the effect of quantum interference between different energy level pathways, the third-order nonlinear absorption is enhanced by the constructive quantum interference while the linear absorption is inhibited by the destruc- tive quantum interference, as a result, the double-OMIT window is generated. Our scheme can be applied to realize high-speed optical switches, high-resolution spectroscopy, coherent population trapping or quantum information processing in the solid state quantum systems.

Time-local quantum-state-diffusion equation for multilevel quantum systems
An open quantum system with multiple levels coupled to a bosonic environment at zero temperature is investigated systematically using the non-Markovian quantum-state-diffusion (QSD) method [W. T. Strunz, L. Di\'osi, and N. Gisin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 82, 1801 (1999)]. We have established exact time-local QSD equations for a set of interesting multilevel open systems, including high-spin systems, multiple-transition atomic models, and multilevel atomic models driven by time-dependent external fields. These exact QSD equations have paved the way to evaluate the dynamics of open multilevel atomic systems in the general non-Markovian regimes without any approximation.

Control of decoherence with no control
A common philosophy in control theory is the control of disorder by order. Control of decoherence is no exception; strategies aimed at suppressing quantum decoherence adopt this point of view. Here we predict an anomalous phenomenon in open quantum systems-control of disorder by (even more) disorder. It is shown that suppression of decoherence can be achieved using the most disordered white noise field, specifically a white Poissonian noise field. This phenomenon seems to be another anomaly in quantum mechanics and may offer a new strategy in quantum control practices.

Overview of quantum memory protection and adiabaticity induction by fast signal control
A quantum memory or information processing device is subject to the disturbance from its surrounding environment or the inevitable leakage due to its contact with other systems. To tackle these problems, several control protocols have been proposed for quantum memory or storage. Among them, the fast signal control or dynamical decoupling based on external pulse sequences provides a prevailing strategy aimed at suppressing decoherence and preventing the target systems from the leakage or diffusion process. In this paper, we review the applications of this protocol in protecting quantum memory under the non-Markovian dissipative noise and maintaining systems on finite speed adiabatic passages without leakage therefrom. We analyze perturbative and nonperturbative dynamical equations for leakage and control, including second-order master equation, quantum-state-diffusion equation, and one-component master equation derived from Feshbach PQ-partitioning technique. It turns out that the quality of fast-modulated signal control is insensitive to configurations of the applied pulse sequences. Specifically, decoherence and leakage will be greatly suppressed as long as the control sequence is able to effectively shift the system beyond the bath cutoff frequency, almost independent of the details of the control sequences that could be ideal pulses, regular rectangular pulses, random pulses and even noisy pulses.

Decoherence of an electrically driven spin qubit
We study decoherence of a field-driven qubit in the presence of environmental noises. For a general qubit, we find that driving, whether on-resonance or off-resonance, alters the qubit decoherence rates (including dissipation and pure dephasing), allowing both blue and red sideband contributions from the reservoir. Depending on the noise spectral density, driving field detuning and driving field phase shift, the qubit decoherence rates could be either accelerated or reduced. We apply our general theory to the system of an electron spin qubit that is confined in a quantum dot and driven by an in-plane electric field. We analyze how spin relaxation induced by the electrical noise due to electron-phonon interaction varies as a function of driving frequency, driving magnitude, driving field phase shift and spin-orbit coupling strengths.

Rapid annotation of interictal epileptiform discharges via template matching under Dynamic Time Warping
EEG interpretation relies on experts who are in short supply. There is a great need for automated pattern recognition systems to assist with interpretation. However, attempts to develop such systems have been limited by insufficient expert-annotated data. To address these issues, we developed a system named NeuroBrowser for EEG review and rapid waveform annotation. At the core of NeuroBrowser lies on ultrafast template matching under Dynamic Time Warping, which substantially accelerates the task of annotation. Our results demonstrate that NeuroBrowser can reduce the time required for annotation of interictal epileptiform discharges by EEG experts by 20–90%, with an average of approximately 70%. In comparison with conventional manual EEG annotation, NeuroBrowser is able to save EEG experts approximately 70% on average of the time spent in annotating interictal epileptiform discharges. We have already extracted 19,000+ interictal epileptiform discharges from 100 patient EEG recordings. To our knowledge this represents the largest annotated database of interictal epileptiform discharges in existence. NeuroBrowser is an integrated system for rapid waveform annotation. While the algorithm is currently tailored to annotation of interictal epileptiform discharges in scalp EEG recordings, the concepts can be easily generalized to other waveforms and signal types.

Chemical bath deposition of single crystal SnS nanobelts on glass substrates
SnS nanobelt thin films were deposited on glass substrates in acidic solution by chemical bath deposition (CBD) method. The belt-like morphologies of as-deposited SnS thin films were characterized by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman measurements were carried out to confirm the crystal structures and phase purities of SnS nanobelt thin films. The morphologies and phase purities of SnS thin films were influenced greatly by the tin and sulfur precursors. The bandgaps of SnS nanobelts were determined to be 1.39–1.41 eV by UV–vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectra. Current-voltage ((IV)) and current-time ((I-T)) characteristics were studied to demonstrate the photoelectric performances of SnS nanobelt thin films.

Decoherence and control of a qubit in spin baths: an exact master equation study
Abstract In spin-based nanosystems for quantum information processing, electron spin qubits are subject to decoherence due to their interactions with nuclear spin environments. In this paper, we present an exact master equation for a central spin-1/2 system in time-dependent external fields and coupled to a spin-half bath in terms of hyperfine interaction. The master equation provides a unified description for free and controlled dynamics of the central spin and is formally independent of the details and size of spin environments. Different from the previous approaches, the master equation remains exact even in the presence of external control fields. Using the parameters for realistic nanosystems with nonzero nuclear spins, such as GaAs, we investigate the Overhauser’s effect on the decoherence dynamics of the central spin under different distributions of bath-spin frequencies and system-bath coupling strengths. Furthermore, we apply the leakage elimination operator, in a nonperturbative manner, to this system to suppress the decoherence induced by hyperfine interaction.

Controllable coupling between a nanomechanical resonator and a coplanar-waveguide resonator via a superconducting flux qubit
We study a tripartite quantum system consisting of a coplanar-waveguide (CPW) resonator and a nanomechanical resonator (NAMR) connected by a flux qubit, where the flux qubit has a large detuning from both resonators. By a unitray transformation and a second-order approximation, we obtain a strong and controllable (i.e., magnetic-field-dependent) effective coupling between the NAMR and the CPW resonator. Due to the strong coupling, vacuum Rabi splitting can be observed from the voltage-fluctuation spectrum of the CPW resonator. We further study the properties of single photon transport as inferred from the reflectance or equivalently the transmittance. We show that the reflectance and the corresponding phase shift spectra both exhibit doublet of narrow spectral features due to vacuum Rabi splitting. By tuning the external magnetic field, the reflectance and the phase shift can be varied from 0 to 1 and $-\pi$ to $\pi$, respectively. The results indicate that this hybrid quantum system can act as a quantum router.

Eigenstate tracking in open quantum systems
Keeping a quantum system in a given instantaneous eigenstate is a control problem with numerous applications, e.g., in quantum information processing. The problem is even more challenging in the setting of open quantum systems, where environment-mediated transitions introduce additional decoherence channels. Adiabatic passage is a well established solution, but requires a sufficiently slow evolution time that is dictated by the adiabatic theorem. Here we develop a systematic projection theory formulation for the transitionless evolution of general open quantum systems described by time-local master equations. We derive a time-convolutionless dynamical equation for the target instantaneous eigenstate of a given time-dependent Hamiltonian. A transitionless dynamics then arises in terms of a competition between the average Hamiltonian gap and the decoherence rate, which implies optimal adiabaticity timescales. We show how eigenstate tracking can be accomplished via control pulses, without explicitly incorporating counter-diabatic driving, thus offering an alternative route to shortcuts to adiabaticity. We examine rectangular pulses, chaotic signals, and white noise, and find that, remarkably, the effectiveness of eigenstate tracking hardly depends on the details of the control functions. In all cases the control protocol keeps the system in the desired instantaneous eigenstate throughout the entire evolution, along an accelerated adiabatic path.

Magnon-mediated quantum battery under systematic errors
Quantum battery is one of the most prominent micro-devices in the rapid-developing quantum thermodynamics. We propose a quantum charging protocol in which both battery and charger are consisted of a many-spin system. The battery and charger are connected via the Kittle mode of the magnon system, that serves as a charging wire and then enables a long-range charging protocol. Counter-intuitively, we find that the spin-spin couplings insider both battery and charger can be used to promote the charging performance in comparison to the noninteracting condition. And a remarkable promotion is realized at a "sweet" spot in terms of the average coupling strength. Moreover, we apply the quantum-state-diffusion equation to test the robustness of our magnon-mediated charging protocol to the systematic errors about the magnon frequency.

High-capacity and high-power collective charging with spin chargers
Quantum battery works as a micro- or nanodevice to store and redistribute energy at the quantum level. Here we propose a spin-charger protocol, in which the battery cells are charged by a finite number of spins through a general Heisenberg $XY$ interaction. Under the isotropic interaction, the spin-charger protocol is endowed with a higher capacity in terms of the maximum stored energy than the conventional protocols, where the battery is charged by a continuous-variable system, e.g., a cavity mode. By tuning the charger size, a tradeoff between the maximum stored energy and the average charging power is found in comparison to the cavity-charger protocol in the Tavis-Cummings model. Quantum advantage of our protocol is manifested by the scaling behavior of the optimal average power with respect to the battery size, in comparing the collective charging scheme to its parallel counterpart. We also discuss the detrimental effect on the charging performance from the anisotropic interaction between the battery and the charger, the nonideal initial states for both of them, and the crosstalk among the charger spins. A strong charger-charger interaction can be used to decouple the battery and the charger. Our findings about the advantages of the spin-charger protocol over the conventional cavity-charger protocols, including the high capacity of energy storage and the superior power law in the collective charging, provide an insight to exploit an efficient quantum battery based on the spin-spin-environment model.

Accelerated adiabatic passage in cavity magnomechanics
Cavity magnomechanics provides a readily-controllable hybrid system, that consisted of cavity mode, magnon mode, and phonon mode, for quantum state manipulation. To implement a fast-and-robust state transfer between the hybrid photon-magnon mode and the phonon mode, we propose two accelerated adiabatic-passage protocols individually based on the counterdiabatic Hamiltonian for transitionless quantum driving and the Levis-Riesenfeld invariant for inverse engineering. Both the counterdiabatic Hamiltonian and the Levis-Riesenfeld invariant generally apply to the continuous-variable systems with arbitrary target states. It is interesting to find that our counterdiabatic Hamiltonian can be constructed in terms of the creation and annihilation operators rather than the system-eigenstates and their time-derivatives. Our protocol can be optimized with respect to the stability against the systematic errors of coupling strength and frequency detuning. It contributes to a quantum memory for photonic and magnonic quantum information. We also discuss the effects from dissipation and the counter-rotating interactions.

Generating entangled states from coherent states in circuit QED
Entangled states are self-evidently important to a wide range of applications in quantum communication and quantum information processing. We propose an efficient and convenient two-step protocol for generating Bell states and NOON states of two microwave resonators from merely coherent states. In particular, we derive an effective Hamiltonian for resonators coupled to a superconducting $\Lambda$-type qutrit in the dispersive regime. By the excitation-number-dependent Stark shifts of the qutrit transition frequencies, we are able to individually control the amplitudes of specified Fock states of the resonators associated with relevant qutrit transition, using carefully tailored microwave drive signals. Thereby an arbitrary bipartite entangled state in Fock space can be generated by a typical evolution-and-measurement procedure. We analysis the undesired state transitions and the robustness of our protocol against the systematic errors from the microwave driving intensity and frequency, the quantum decoherence of all components, and the crosstalk of two resonators. In addition, we demonstrate that our protocol can be extended to a similar scenario with a $\Xi$-type qutrit.

Transport risk modeling for hazardous chemical transport Companies—A case study in China
Traffic accidents of hazardous chemical transport vehicles strongly correlate with the operation and management level of road transport companies. An accurate risk assessment of these transport companies will play a critical role in improving their management and supervision and in turn the overall safety of roadways, property, and most importantly people's lives. Therefore, this study constructs a logistic regression scorecard model to evaluate transport risk of hazardous chemical transport companies and evaluates it using a case study in China. This study first selected 16 indicators from the dimensions of driver behaviors, driving performance, dangerous goods and company business operation to construct company user portraits. Next, a K-means++ algorithm was used to cluster the data samples of the companies on a monthly basis. On this basis, a scorecard was constructed based on a logistic regression scorecard model to realize and visualize the monthly risk portrait of companies. The constructed scorecard predicted transport risk of companies accurately. The results show that the more complex the types of dangerous goods transported, the higher the risk value of the company in the dangerous goods index. Moreover, for transport companies, the driver behaviors and driving performance on their trips are closely related to their business risk. In a practical application, the proposed scorecard can realize the dynamic risk monitoring of transport companies and enable managers and supervision departments to clarify where the risk is from. The transport companies can also carry out safety training and rectification for drivers and operations to reduce the occurrence of hazardous materials-related traffic accidents.

Charging by Quantum Measurement
We propose a quantum charging scheme fueled by measurements on ancillary qubits serving as disposable chargers. A stream of identical qubits are sequentially coupled to a quantum battery of $N+1$ levels and measured by projective operations after joint unitary evolutions of optimized intervals. If charger qubits are prepared in excited state and measured on ground state, then their excitations (energy) can be near perfectly transferred to battery by iteratively updating the optimized measurement intervals. Starting from its ground state, the battery could be constantly charged to an even higher energy level. Starting from a thermal state, the battery could also achieve a near-unit ratio of ergotropy and energy through less than $N$ measurements, when a population inversion is realized by measurements. If charger qubits are prepared in ground state and measured on excited state, useful work extracted by measurements alone could transform the battery from a thermal state to a high-ergotropy state before the success probability vanishes. Our operations in charging are more efficient than those without measurements and do not invoke the initial coherence in both battery and chargers. Particularly, our finding features quantum measurement in shaping nonequilibrium systems.

Breakdown of the rotating-wave approximation in the description of entanglement of spin-anticorrelated states
It is well established that an entanglement encoded in the Bell states of a two-qubit system with correlated spins exhibits completely different evolution properties than that encoded in states with the anti-correlated spins. A complete and abrupt loss of the entanglement, called the entanglement sudden death, can be found to occur for the spin correlated states, but the entanglement evolves without any discontinuity or decays asymptotically for the spin anti-correlated states. We consider the evolution of an initial entanglement encoded in the spin anti-correlated states and demonstrate that the asymptotic behavior predicted before occurs only in the weak coupling limit or equivalently when the rotating-wave approximation (RWA) is made on the interaction Hamiltonian of the qubits with the field. If we do not restrict ourselves to the RWA, we find that the entanglement undergoes a discontinuity, the sudden death phenomenon. We illustrate this behavior by employing an efficient scheme for entanglement evolution between two cold-trapped atoms located inside a single-mode cavity. Although only a single excitation is initially present in the system, we find that the two-photon excited state, which plays the key role for the discontinuity in the behavior of the entanglement, gains a population over a short time of the evolution. When the RWA is made on the interaction, the two-photon excited state remains unpopulated for all times and the discontinuity is absent. We attribute this phenomenon to the principle of complementarity between the evolution time and energy, and the presence of the counter-rotating terms in the interaction Hamiltonian.

Many-body quantum trajectories of non-Markovian open systems
A long-standing open problem in non-Markovian quantum state diffusion (QSD) approach to open quantum systems is to establish the non-Markovian QSD equations for multiple qubit systems. In this paper, we settle this important question by explicitly constructing a set of exact time-local QSD equations for $N$-qubit systems. Our exact time-local (convolutionless) QSD equations have paved the way towards simulating quantum dynamics of many-body open systems interacting with a common bosonic environment. The applicability of this multiple-qubit stochastic equation is exemplified by numerically solving several quantum open many-body systems concerning quantum coherence dynamics and dynamical control.

Dynamics of quantum coherence in a spin-star system: Bipartite initial state and coherence distribution
We investigate the transient dynamics of quantum coherence for a system of two central spins in a spin-star environment by employing a numerical procedure based on a Laguerre polynomial expansion scheme. The dynamics of the total, local, and global coherence are calculated for different values of the anisotropy parameter, the system-bath interaction strengths, and temperature for different initial bipartite states. Significant dynamical features of quantum coherence are found as follows: (i) an $X$ state can only have global coherence; (ii) a state with only initial local coherence gains global coherence during the course of evolution by the induced correlations between the two-qubit system and the common bath; (iii) an incoherent state gains coherence by interacting with an external bath. We find there are two primary ways to gain coherence for an incoherent state: one is by interacting with the external quantum bath and the other is through interconversion of other quantum properties such as purity into coherence. Finally, we demonstrate that our results for the system in an infinite bath also hold qualitatively when the system is in contact with a finite bath.

Nonperturbative quantum dynamical decoupling
Current dynamical control based on the bang-bang control mechanism involving various types of pulse sequences is essentially a perturbative theory. This paper presents a nonperturbative dynamical control approach based on the exact stochastic Schr\"odinger equation. We report our findings on the pulse parameter regions in which the effective dynamical control can be exercised. The onset of the effective control zones reflects the nonperturbative feature of our approach. The nonperturbative methods offer possible new implementations when several different parameter regions are available.

Magnon blockade in magnon-qubit systems
A hybrid system established by the direct interaction between a magnon mode and a superconducting transmon qubit is used to realize a high-degree blockade for magnon. It is a fundamental way toward quantum manipulation at the level of a single magnon and preparation of single magnon sources. Through weakly driving the magnon and probing the qubit, our magnon-blockade proposal can be optimized when the transversal coupling strength between the magnon and qubit is equivalent to the detuning of the qubit and the probing field or that of the magnon and the driving field. Under this condition, the equal-time second-order correlation function ${g}^{(2)}(0)$ can be analytically minimized when the probing intensity is about three times the driving intensity. Moreover, the magnon blockade could be further enhanced by proper driving intensity and system decay rate, whose magnitudes outrange the current systems of cavity QED and cavity optomechanics. In particular, the correlation function achieves ${g}^{(2)}(0)\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}7}$, about two orders lower than that for the photon blockade in cavity optomechanics. Also, we discuss the effects on ${g}^{(2)}(0)$ from thermal noise and the extra longitudinal interaction between the magnon and qubit. Our optimized conditions for blockade are found to persist in these nonideal situations.

High-degree magnon blockade with large single-excitation probability
Optimized blockade is an efficient tool in generating a single-magnon state, that is fundamental to manipulate the magnonic systems at the quantum level. In this study, we consider a hybrid system in which a qubit is strongly coupled to $N$ magnons via the exchange interaction. The qubit and the magnon modes are subject to the probing field and driving fields, respectively. It is interesting to find the scalable conditions in minimizing the equal-time second-order correlation function $g^{(2)}(0)$ for each magnon with respect to $N$. In particular, the simultaneous blockade is optimized when (i) the detuning between the qubit (magnon) and the probing (driving field) field is $\sqrt{N}$ times the magnon-qubit coupling strength, (ii) the probing intensity is $3\sqrt{N}$ times the driving intensity, and (iii) the relative phase between probing and driving fields is $2/(3\sqrt{N}$) times the ratio of the system decay rate to the magnon-qubit coupling strength. More than a high-degree blockade, we can generate a significant population on the single-magnon state. With experimental-relevant driving intensity and decay rate, the correlation function can achieve about $g^{(2)}(0)\sim10^{-7}$ in company with a large single-magnon population $P_1\sim0.24$ when $N=1$ and $g^{(2)}(0)\sim10^{-7}$ with $P_1\sim0.12$ when $N=2$.

Generating magnon Bell states via parity measurement
We propose a scheme to entangle two magnon modes based on parity measurement. In particular, we consider a system that two yttrium-iron-garnet spheres are coupled to a $V$-type superconducting qutrit through the indirect interactions mediated by cavity modes. An effective parity-measurement operator that can project the two macroscopic spin systems to the desired subspace emerges when the ancillary qutrit is projected to the ground state. Consequently, conventional and multi-excitation magnon Bell states can be generated from any separable states with a nonvanishing population in the desired subspace. The target state can be distilled with a near-to-unit fidelity only by several rounds of measurements and can be stabilized in the presence of decoherence. In addition, a single-shot version of our scheme is obtained by shaping the detuning in the time domain. Our scheme that does not rely on any nonlinear effect brings insight to the entangled-state generation in massive ferrimagnetic materials via quantum measurement.

Geometric quantum gates via dark paths in Rydberg atoms
Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum gates are high-speed and robust. Nevertheless, they were found to be more fragile than the adiabatic gates when systematic errors become dominant. Inspired by the dark-path scheme that was used to partially relieve the systematic error in the absence of external noise, we construct a universal set of nonadiabatic holonomic $N$-qubit gates using the Rydberg-Rydberg interaction between atoms under off-resonant driving. Based on an effective four-level configuration in the Rydberg-atom system, the modified nonadiabatic holonomic geometric gates present a clear resilience to both systematic error in the whole parametric range and external noise. In our scheme, the conventional ultrastrong interaction between control atoms and the target atom for the nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation is compensated by the detuning of the driving fields on the target atom. That idea yields a deeper understanding about the holonomic transformation. Moreover, our scheme is compact and scale-free with respect to $N$. It is interesting to find that the three-qubit gate is less susceptible to errors than the double-qubit one.

Gases and gas-releasing materials for the treatment of chronic diabetic wounds
Chronic non-healing wounds are a common consequence of skin ulceration in diabetic patients, with severe cases such as diabetic foot even leading to amputations. The interplay between pathological factors like hypoxia-ischemia, chronic inflammation, bacterial infection, impaired angiogenesis, and accumulation of advanced glycosylation end products (AGEs), resulting from the dysregulation of the immune microenvironment caused by hyperglycemia, establishes an unending cycle that hampers wound healing. However, there remains a dearth of sufficient and effective approaches to break this vicious cycle within the complex immune microenvironment. Consequently, numerous scholars have directed their research efforts towards addressing chronic diabetic wound repair. In recent years, gases including Oxygen (O

Feshbach projection-operator partitioning for quantum open systems: Stochastic approach
The dynamics of a state of interest coupled to a non-Markovian environment is studied by concatenating the non-Markovian quantum state diffusion equation and the Feshbach projection-operator partitioning technique. An exact one-dimensional stochastic master equation is derived as a general tool for controlling an arbitrary component of the system. We show that the exact one-dimensional stochastic master equation can be efficiently solved beyond the widely adapted second-order master equations. The generality and applicability of this hybrid approach is justified and exemplified by several coherence control problems concerning quantum state protection against leakage and decoherence.

Perturbation methods for the non-Markovian quantum state diffusion equation
Two perturbation methods for the non-Markovian quantum state diffusion (NMQSD) equation are investigated in this paper. The first perturbation method under investigation is based on a functional expansion of the NMQSD equation, while the second expands the NMQSD equation in terms of coupling strength between the system and its environment. We compare the two perturbation methods by solving the dynamics of a bipartite system in which the two perturbation methods can be compared with the exact NMQSD equation. In addition, as an application, we provide an analytical solution for a special family of the systemʼs initial states, and discuss the entanglement dynamics based on this solution.

Adiabatic leakage elimination operator in an experimental framework
Adiabatic evolution is used in a variety of quantum information processing tasks. However, the elimination of errors is not as well-developed as it is for circuit model processing. Here, we present a strategy to accelerate a reliable quantum adiabatic process by adding Leakage Elimination Operators (LEO) to the evolution which are a sequence of pulse controls acting in an adiabatic subspace. Using the Feshbach $PQ$ partitioning technique, we obtain an analytical solution which traces the footprint of the target eigenstate. The effectiveness of the LEO is independent of the specific form of the pulse but depends on the average frequency of the control function. Furthermore, we give the exact expression of the control function in an experimental framework by a counter unitary transformation, thus the physical meaning of the LEO is clear. Our results reveal the equivalence of the control function between two different formalisms which aids in implementation.

Criterion for quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects
In this work, we study the decay behavior of a two-level system under the competing influence of a dissipative environment and repetitive measurements. The sign of the second derivative of the environmental spectral density function with respect to the system transition frequency is found to be a sufficient condition to distinguish between the quantum Zeno (negative) and the anti-Zeno (positive) effects raised by the measurements. We check our criterion for practical measurement intervals, which are larger than the conceptual Zeno time, in various environments. In particular, with the Lorentzian spectrum, the quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno phenomena are found to emerge respectively in the near-resonant and off-resonant cases. For the interacting spectra of hydrogenlike atoms, the quantum Zeno effect usually occurs and the anti-Zeno effect can rarely occur unless the transition frequency is close to the cut-off frequency. With a power-law spectrum, we find that sub-Ohmic and super-Ohmic environments lead to the quantum Zeno and anti-Zeno effects, respectively.

Control relaxation via dephasing: A quantum-state-diffusion study
Dynamical decoupling as a quantum control strategy aims at suppressing quantum decoherence adopting the popular philosophy that the disorder in the unitary evolution of the open quantum system caused by environmental noises should be neutralized by a sequence of ordered or well-designed external operations acting on the system. This work studies the solution of quantum-state-diffusion equations by mixing two channels of environmental noises, i.e., relaxation (dissipation) and dephasing. It is interesting to find in two-level and three-level atomic systems that a non-Markovian relaxation or dissipation process can be suppressed by a Markovian dephasing noise. The discovery results in an anomalous control strategy by coordinating relaxation and dephasing processes. Our approach opens an avenue of noise control strategy with no artificial manipulation over the open quantum systems.

Shortcut to nonadiabatic quantum state transmission
Techniques for accelerating the evolutionary processes associated with an adiabatic passage have recently been developed. Given that the context for which these speeding-up protocols, such as the shortcut to adiabaticity, have been formulated, their presentation rests on the assumption of the validity of the quantum adiabatic theorem. We investigate here the possibility of extending these methods to a regime in which the adiabatic theorem cannot be applied. Using a spin chain model and a typical nonadiabatic quantum communication protocol, we determine and compare certain indicative aspects of state transfer, such as the fidelity measure of quality and communication latency, associated with both normal and pulse-assisted transmission. The fidelity is found to be effectively enhanced by increasing the pulse strength or pulse duration, indicating a shortcut to nonadiabatic quantum state transmission. Numerical calculations also reveal the inherent reliability and fault tolerance of this method.

Generating NOON states in circuit QED using a multiphoton resonance in the presence of counter-rotating interactions
The NOON states are valuable quantum resources, which have a wide range of applications in quantum communication, quantum metrology, and quantum information processing. Here we propose a fast, concise, and reliable protocol for deterministically generating the NOON states of two resonators coupled to a single $▵$-type superconducting qutrit. In particular, we derive the effective Hamiltonians at the points of the multiphoton resonances by virtue of the strong counter-rotating interaction between the resonator modes and the qutrit. Based on these crucial effective Hamiltonians, our protocol simplifies the previous ones using the single-photon resonance and consequently reduces the number of operations for state preparation. To test the robustness of this protocol, we analyze the effects from both the decoherence including dissipation and dephasing and the crosstalk of resonator modes on the state fidelity through a Lindblad master equation in the eigenbases of the full Hamiltonian.

The dynamics of two $1∕2$-spin qubits under the influence of a quantum Heisenberg $XY$-type spin-bath is studied. After the Holstein-Primakoff transformation, numerical polynomial scheme is used to give the time-evolution calculation of the center qubits initially prepared in a product state or a Bell state. Then the concurrence of the two qubits, the $z$-component moment of either of the subsystem spins, and the fidelity of the subsystem are shown; they exhibit sensitive dependence on the anisotropic parameter, the temperature, the coupling strength, and the initial state. It is found that (i) the larger the anisotropic parameter $\ensuremath{\gamma}$, the bigger the probability of maintaining the initial state of the two qubits; (ii) with increasing temperature $T$, the bath plays a stronger destroy effect on the dynamics of the subsystem, so does the interaction ${g}_{0}$ between the subsystem and the bath; and (iii) the time evolution of the subsystem is dependent on the initial state. The revival of the concurrence does not always mean the restoration of the state. Further, the dynamical properties of the subsystem should be judged by the combination of concurrence and fidelity.

Compared with classical thresholding denoising methods, it overcomes the discontinuity of the hard-thresholding method and reduces the fixed deviation between the estimated wavelet coefficients and the decomposed wavelet coefficients of the soft thresholding method. The experiment results show that the improved method gives better Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE) than the soft-thresholding method, hard-thresholding method and the standard compromising method between them.

Solving non-Markovian open quantum systems with multi-channel reservoir coupling
We extend the non-Markovian quantum state diffusion (QSD) equation to open quantum systems which exhibit multi-channel coupling to a harmonic oscillator reservoir. Open quantum systems which have multi-channel reservoir coupling are those in which canonical transformation of reservoir modes cannot reduce the number of reservoir operators appearing in the interaction Hamiltonian to one. We show that the non-Markovian QSD equation for multi-channel reservoir coupling can, in some cases, lead to an exact master equation which we derive. We then derive the exact master equation for the three-level system in a vee-type configuration which has multi-channel reservoir coupling and give the analytical solution. Finally, we examine the evolution of the three-level vee-type system with generalized Ornstein-Uhlenbeck reservoir correlations numerically.

Controllable dynamics of two separate qubits in Bell states
The dynamics of entanglement and fidelity for a subsystem of two separate spin-$1∕2$ qubits prepared in Bell states is investigated. One of the subsystem qubit labeled $A$ is under the influence of a Heisenberg $XY$ spin bath, while another one labeled $B$ is uncoupled with that. We discuss two cases: (i) the number of bath spins is infinite, $N\ensuremath{\rightarrow}\ensuremath{\infty}$, and (ii) $N$ is finite, $N=40$. In both cases, the bath is initially prepared in a thermal equilibrium state. It is shown that the time dependence of the concurrence and the fidelity of the two subsystem qubits can be controlled by tuning the parameters of the spin bath, such as the anisotropic parameter, the temperature, and the coupling strength with qubit $A$. It is interesting to find that the dynamics of the concurrence is independent of four different initial Bell states and that of the fidelity is divided into two groups.

External-level assisted cooling by measurement
A quantum resonator in a thermal-equilibrium state with a high temperature has a large average population and is featured with significant occupation over Fock states with a high excitation number. The resonator could be cooled down via continuous measurements on the ground state of a coupled two-level system (qubit). We find, however, that the measurement-induced cooling might become inefficient in the high-temperature regime. Beyond the conventional strategy, we introduce strong driving between the excited state of the qubit and an external level. It can remarkably broaden the cooling range in regard to the nonvanishing populated Fock states of the resonator. Without any precooling procedure, our strategy allows a significant reduction of the populations over Fock states with a high excitation number, giving rise to nondeterministic ground-state cooling after a sequence of measurements. The driving-induced fast transition constrains the resonator and the ancillary qubit at their ground state upon measurement and then simulates the quantum Zeno effect. Our protocol is applied to cool down a high-temperature magnetic resonator. Additionally, it is generalized to a hybrid cooling protocol by interpolating the methods with and without strong driving, which can accelerate the cooling process and increase the overlap between the final state of the resonator and its ground state.

Simultaneous cooling by measuring one ancillary system
We present a simultaneous-cooling protocol for a double-resonator system via projective measurements on an ancillary $V$-type qutrit. Through repeated measurements on the ground state of the ancillary system, the two resonators can be cooled down to their respective ground states from thermal states. With respect to the measurement-based cooling, an optimized measurement interval ${\ensuremath{\tau}}_{\mathrm{opt}}$ is analytically obtained, which is inversely proportional to the collective thermal Rabi frequency ${\mathrm{\ensuremath{\Omega}}}_{\mathrm{th}}$ as a function of the resonators' average population of the last round. Under about only 20 optimized measurements, the average population of the target resonators can be reduced by six orders in magnitude. Our simultaneous or collective cooling protocol is scalable to the systems with more numbers of resonators and robust to the fluctuation in the resonator frequency. Also we discuss the robustness of our cooling protocol against the thermal environment and the measurement error.

Role of the counter-rotating terms in the creation of entanglement between two atoms
The problem of the creation of entanglement exclusively from the presence of the counter-rotating terms in the interaction Hamiltonian between two atoms and a single-mode cavity field is studied. The time evolution of the concurrence between the atoms is discussed for two different initial separable states and arbitrary strengths of the coupling constants of the atoms to the cavity mode. We show that a transient entanglement can be created between the atoms only if the counter-rotating terms are taken into account in the interaction Hamiltonian. The source of the entanglement is identified, and the entanglement features are explained in terms of the properties of the reduced density operator of the atoms. In particular, we find that the main source of the entanglement is in the two-photon coherence induced by the counter-rotating terms that cause two-photon transitions through virtual states.

Nonperturbative dynamical decoupling control: A spin-chain model
This paper considers a spin chain model by numerically solving the exact model to explore the non-perturbative dynamical decoupling regime, where an important issue arises recently (J. Jing, L.-A. Wu, J. Q. You and T. Yu, arXiv:1202.5056.). Our study has revealed a few universal features of non-perturbative dynamical control irrespective of the types of environments and system-environment couplings. We have shown that, for the spin chain model, there is a threshold and a large pulse parameter region where the effective dynamical control can be implemented, in contrast to the perturbative decoupling schemes where the permissible parameters are represented by a point or converge to a very small subset in the large parameter region admitted by our non-perturbative approach. An important implication of the non-perturbative approach is its flexibility in implementing the dynamical control scheme in a experimental setup. Our findings have exhibited several interesting features of the non-perturbative regimes such as the chain-size independence, pulse strength upper-bound, noncontinuous valid parameter regions, etc. Furthermore, we find that our non-perturbative scheme is robust against randomness in model fabrication and time-dependent random noise.

Transient unidirectional energy flow and diode-like phenomenon induced by non-Markovian environments
Relying on an exact time evolution scheme, we identify a novel transient energy transfer phenomenon in an exactly-solvable quantum microscopic model consisting of a three-level system coupled to two non-Markovian zero-temperature bosonic baths through two separable quantum channels. The dynamics of this model can be solved exactly using the quantum-state-diffusion equation formalism, demonstrating finite intervals of unidirectional energy flow across the system, typically, from the non-Markovian environment towards the more Markovian bath. Furthermore, when introducing a spatial asymmetry into the system, an analogue of the rectification effect is realized. In the long time limit, the dynamics arrives at a stationary state and the effects recede. Understanding temporal characteristics of directional energy flow will aid in designing microscopic energy transfer devices.

Spectral features of the tunneling-induced transparency and the Autler-Townes doublet and triplet in a triple quantum dot
Abstract We theoretically investigate the spectral features of tunneling-induced transparency (TIT) and Autler-Townes (AT) doublet and triplet in a triple-quantum-dot system. By analyzing the eigenenergy spectrum of the system Hamiltonian, we can discriminate TIT and double TIT from AT doublet and triplet, respectively. For the resonant case, the presence of the TIT does not exhibit distinguishable anticrossing in the eigenenergy spectrum in the weak-tunneling regime, while the occurrence of double anticrossings in the strong-tunneling regime shows that the TIT evolves to the AT doublet. For the off-resonance case, the appearance of a new detuning-dependent dip in the absorption spectrum leads to double TIT behavior in the weak-tunneling regime due to no distinguished anticrossing occurring in the eigenenergy spectrum. However, in the strong-tunneling regime, a new detuning-dependent dip in the absorption spectrum results in AT triplet owing to the presence of triple anticrossings in the eigenenergy spectrum. Our results can be applied to quantum measurement and quantum-optics devices in solid systems.

Nonperturbative dynamical decoupling with random control
Parametric fluctuations or stochastic signals are introduced into the rectangular pulse sequence to investigate the feasibility of random dynamical decoupling. In a large parameter region, we find that the out-of-order control pulses work as well as the regular pulses for dynamical decoupling and dissipation suppression. Calculations and analysis are enabled by and based on a nonperturbative dynamical decoupling approach allowed by an exact quantum-state-diffusion equation. When the average frequency and duration of the pulse sequence take proper values, the random control sequence is robust, fault-tolerant and insensitive to pulse strength deviations and interpulse temporal separation in the quasi-periodic sequence. This relaxes the operational requirements placed on quantum control devices to a great deal.

Triple optomechanical induced transparency in a two-cavity system
We theoretically investigate the optomechanical induced transparency (OMIT) phenomenon in a two-cavity system which is composed of two optomechanical cavities. Both of the cavities consist of a fixed mirror and a high-Q mechanical resonator, and they couple to each other via a common waveguide. We show that in the presence of a strong pump field applied to one cavity and a weak probe field applied to the other, a triple-OMIT can be observed in the output field at the probe frequency. The two mechanical resonators in the two cavities are identical, but they lead to different quantum interference pathways. The transparency windows are induced by the coupling of the two cavities and the optical pressure radiated to the mechanical resonators, which can be controlled via the power of the pump field and the coupling strength of the two cavities.

A multifunctional quantum thermal device: With and without inner coupling
A three-level system attached to three thermal baths is manipulated to be a microscopic thermal device integrating a valve, a refrigerator, an amplifier, and a thermometer in the quantum regime, via tuning the inner coupling strength of the system and the temperatures of the external baths. We discuss the role of the inner coupling as well as the steady-state quantum coherence in these thermal functions using the Redfield master equation under a partial secular approximation. A high-sensitive thermometer for the low-temperature terminal can be established without the assistance from the inner coupling of the system. Our study of this multifunctional thermal device provides a deeper insight to the underlying quantum thermodynamics associated with the quantum coherence.

Geometric quantum gates via dark paths in Rydberg atoms
Nonadiabatic holonomic quantum gates are high-speed and robust. Nevertheless, they were found to be more fragile than the adiabatic gates when systematic errors become dominant. Inspired by the dark-path scheme that was used to partially relieve the systematic error in the absence of external noise, we construct a universal set of nonadiabatic holonomic $N$-qubit gates using the Rydberg-Rydberg interaction between atoms under off-resonant driving. Based on an effective four-level configuration in the Rydberg-atom system, the modified nonadiabatic holonomic geometric gates present a clear resilience to both systematic error in the whole parametric range and external noise. In our scheme, the conventional ultrastrong interaction between control atoms and the target atom for the nonadiabatic holonomic quantum computation is compensated by the detuning of the driving fields on the target atom. That idea yields a deeper understanding about the holonomic transformation. Moreover, our scheme is compact and scale-free with respect to $N$. It is interesting to find that the three-qubit gate is less susceptible to errors than the double-qubit one.

Generic eigenstate preparation via measurement-based purification
It is not a general opinion that a quantum system could be purified into a target eigenstate via repeated measurements on a coupled qubit rather than direct transitions in the Hamiltonian. Projective measurement on the ancillary qubit gives rise to positive operator-valued measures on the system that can filter out the unwanted states except the target one. In application, we discuss measurement-based entanglement purification by which maximally entangled states (Bell states and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states) can be distilled from maximally mixed states or separable states. We also demonstrate the significant acceleration of a stimulated Raman adiabatic passage assisted by similar measurements. Our scheme allows arbitrary eigenstate preparation and reveals efficiency in multipartite systems for subspace purification. It offers a promising and generic quantum-control framework enriching the functionalities of quantum measurement.

Exploring Heterogeneity in Car-Following Behaviors Based on Driver Visual Characteristics: Modeling and Calibration
To investigate the heterogeneity of car-following behaviors across different vehicle combinations from the perspective of driver visual characteristics, the NGSIM dataset from I-80 and US-101 highways was selected and distinct car-following segments were extracted for analysis. Firstly, all the effective vehicle trajectories were extracted and categorized into different vehicle types based on their widths, resulting in four combination types of car-following segments. Visual angle and its change rate were introduced as variables representing driver visual characteristics. Additionally, one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare these variables with traditional ones. The driver’s visual characteristic variables were then incorporated to improve the full velocity difference (FVD) model. Genetic algorithms were employed to calibrate the model under different car-following types, revealing pronounced behavioral variations. After implementing the enhanced drivers’ visual angle (DVA) model, substantial reductions in calibration and validation errors were observed, with calibration errors decreasing by 51.93% and 42.22% and validation errors decreasing by 56.61% and 45.26%. This indicates the DVA model’s remarkable adaptability and stability. Lastly, through a sensitivity analysis of errors, the DVA model demonstrated greater robustness toward the improved error evaluation function. By integrating drivers’ visual characteristics, this study provides in-depth insights into heterogeneous car-following behaviors, enhancing our understanding of driver behaviors and micro-traffic simulation systems.

Entanglement dephasing dynamics driven by a bath of spins
We study the entanglement dynamics for a two-spin system coupled to a spin environment of different configurations by z-x type interaction. The models considered in this paper are solved both analytically and numerically giving rise to some concise analytical expressions when certain approximations are properly made. Our purpose is to find how the initial states of the environment with different numbers of spins affect the decay or revival of the entanglement between central qubits. In Particular, it is found that the block-entangled environment could speed up the decay and revival of the qubit entanglement. Our results exhibit some interesting features that have not been found for a boson bath.

Steady bipartite coherence induced by non-equilibrium environment
We study the steady state of two coupled two-level atoms interacting with a non-equilibrium environment that consists of two heat baths at different temperatures. Specifically, we analyze four cases with respect to the configuration about the interactions between atoms and heat baths. Using secular approximation, the conventional master equation usually neglects steady-state coherence, even when the system is coupled with a non-equilibrium environment. When employing the master equation with no secular approximation, we find that the system coherence in our model, denoted by the off-diagonal terms in the reduced density matrix spanned by the eigenvectors of the system Hamiltonian, would survive after a long-time decoherence evolution. The absolute value of residual coherence in the system relies on different configurations of interaction channels between the system and the heat baths. We find that a large steady quantum coherence term can be achieved when the two atoms are resonant. The absolute value of quantum coherence decreases in the presence of additional atom-bath interaction channels. Our work sheds new light on the mechanism of steady-state coherence in microscopic quantum systems in non-equilibrium environments.

Measurement-induced cooling of a qubit in structured environments
In this work, we study the dynamics of a two-level system (qubit) embedded in a finite-temperature structured bath under periodical nondemolition measurements. The system under measurements will reach a quasisteady state, whose effective temperature can be maintained lower than that of the surrounding environment. We study the influence of the environmental modes from different regimes of frequency on the qubit. The spectrum of the bath consisting of a large number of bosonic harmonic oscillators can be approximately divided into three parts according to their effects of cooling or heating. Due to the spectral analysis over the structured bath based on a time-convolutionless master equation beyond the rotating-wave approximation, we propose a necessary cooling condition for the bath in the context of quantum nonselective and nondemolition measurements. It consists of two parts: (i) the logarithmic derivative of the spectrum around the system transition frequency should be large enough, at least larger than one-half of the inverse temperature of the bath; (ii) the spectrum should have a sharp high-frequency cutoff that cannot be far detuning from the system transition frequency. From this condition, we find that environments with two popular types of spectra, i.e., the modified Lorentzian models and the super-Ohmic models, are available for cooling the open quantum system.

Quantumness protection for open systems in a double-layer environment
We study the dynamics of two-level atomic systems (qubits) subject to a double-layer environment that consists of a network of single-mode cavities coupled to a common reservoir. A general exact master equation for the dynamics of a qubit system can be obtained by the quantum-state-diffusion (QSD) approach, which is extended to our spin-cavity-boson model. The quantumness of the atoms comprising coherence and entanglement is investigated for various configurations of the double-layer environment. The findings indicate that parametric control is available for the preservation and generation of system-quantumness by regulating the cavity network. Moreover the underlying physics is profoundly revealed by an effective model obtained by a unitary transformation. Therefore, our work provides an interesting proposal to protect the quantumness of open systems in the framework of a double-layer environment containing bosonic modes.

Mutual preservation of entanglement
We study a generalized double Jaynes–Cummings (JC) model where two entangled pairs of two-level atoms interact indirectly. We show that there exist initial states of the qubit system so that two entangled pairs are available at all times. In particular, the minimum entanglement in the pairs as a function of the initial state is studied. Finally, we extend our findings to a model consisting of multi-mode atom–cavity interactions. We use a non-Markovian quantum state diffusion (QSD) equation to obtain the steady-state density matrix for the qubits. We show that the multi-mode model also displays dynamical preservation of entanglement.

We have established an exact quantum state diffusion (QSD) equation for the dissipative qubit-qutrit system coupled to a bosonic heat bath at zero temperature. As an important application, the non-Markovian QSD equation is employed to simulate the entanglement decay and generation measured by negativity. Finally, some steady state properties of the hybrid system are also discussed.

Chelating resin method for estimation of sludge‐cadmium bioavailability
Abstract A chelating resin procedure was developed to predict the plant uptake of Cd by municipal sewage sludges applied to land. Seventeen anaerobically digested sludges were sampled to give a range of total Cd content of 0.07 to 2.02 mmol/kg. Sludge suspensions [20 g in 100 mL 0.05 M Ca(NO3)2] were equilibrated with 1 g Chelex 100 resin placed in dialysis tubing and shaken at 200 rpm for 16 h. Resin‐extractable Cd was compared with sludge solution Cd (CdT and Cd2+) in equilibrium with 0.05 M Ca(NO3)2, and 0.05 M Ca(NO3)2 containing 50 (μM Na‐EDTA (ethylenediaminetetraacetate). Resin extractable Cd was correlated with Cd uptake by sudax, a sorghum/sudangrass hybrid (Sorghum bicolar), grown in Spinks loamy sand (Typic Udipsamment) amended with each of the sludges to give a constant Cd concentration of 22 μmol/kg soil. Resin extractable Cd ranged from < 0.1 to 48 μmol/kg. Resin extracted between zero and 5.3% of total sludge Cd. Resin extractable Cd was highly correlated with CdT and Cd2+ in 0.05 M Ca(NO3)2 (R2 = 0.97 and 0.98, respectively), and with 0.05 M Ca(NO3)2 containing 50 μM NaEDTA (R2 = 0.97 and 0.98, respectively). There was a lower correlation with total sludge Cd and soil solution Cd (R2 = 0.53 and 0.63, respectively). Cadmium concentration in sudax was highly correlated with resin extractable sludge Cd (R2 = 0.92). When the two sludges with highest total sludge Cd were dropped, the correlation dropped (R2 = 0.57), but resin extractable Cd predicted Cd uptake as effectively as CdT and Cd2+ in Ca(NO3)2 or Ca(NO3)2/EDTA. Resin extraction appears to be a promising method of assessing the potential bioavailability of sludge Cd.

Measurements and analysis of force and moment of caudal fin model in C-start
Abstract The unsteady hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on caudal fin models of fish with different shapes and different swing durations were experimentally measured to simulate the fish C-starts. The motion of models was characterized by rotating the model to a maximum deflection angle in an excursion time Tu and back to the initial position in a return time Td around its root-axis. Studies show that the caudal-fin plays an important role in fish C-starts and the caudal-fins with different shapes and different swing duration generate different forces and moment. In addition, the hydrodynamic forces and moments acting on the models with different shapes can be normalized by the 2nd and 3rd moments of area, respectively. The forces and moments acting on the models with different swing durations, but the same ratio of Tu to Td can also be scaled. *Supported by National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 10332040) and the Knowledge Innovation Program of the Chinese Academy of Science (Grant ...

Uhrig dynamical control of a three-level system via non-Markovian quantum state diffusion
In this paper, we use the quantum state diffusion (QSD) equation to implement the Uhrig dynamical decoupling (UDD) to a three-level quantum system coupled to a non-Markovian reservoir comprising of infinite numbers of degrees of freedom. For this purpose, we first reformulate the non-Markovian QSD to incorporate the effect of the external control fields. With this stochastic QSD approach, we demonstrate that an unknown state of the three-level quantum system can be universally protected against both colored phase and amplitude noises when the control-pulse sequences and control operators are properly designed. The advantage of using non-Markovian quantum state diffusion equations is that the control dynamics of open quantum systems can be treated exactly without using Trotter product formula and be efficiently simulated even when the environment comprise of infinite numbers of degrees of freedom. We also show how the control efficacy depends on the environment memory time and the designed time points of applied control pulses.

Berry-phase-based quantum gates assisted by transitionless quantum driving
We propose a novel method for constructing geometric quantum gates using three- or two-level systems, in which a controllable variable, the detuning between the driving frequency and the atomic energy spacing, is introduced to realize geometric transformations. In particular, we have two instantaneous eigenstates with opposite eigenvalues constituting a closed loop in the parameter space. The accumulated dynamical phase is then exactly cancelled when the loop is completed, which is beyond the traditional parallel-transport restriction. We apply the transitionless quantum driving method to enhance the speed and fidelity of geometric gates. Gate fidelity in the presence of decoherence is also estimated.

Exact entanglement dynamics mediated by leaky optical cavities
We present a quantum-state-diffusion equation to characterize the dynamics of a generic atomic system due to the coupling to a leaky cavity mode. As quantum resources, the population, the coherence and even the entanglement of the system would gradually leak out of the cavity. The effect from the leakage of the cavity-mode to the uncontrollable degrees of freedom, e.g. environment, is however not always negative to particular applications of these quantum resources. We investigate the competition between these two mechanisms in the framework of the non-Markovian open-quantum-system dynamics, where the leaky mode serves as a general two-layer bosonic environment. Numerical calculations based on our non-perturbative approach reveal a generation of quantum entanglement in the qubit system due to the coupling to a resonant leaky cavity.

Suppression of dissipation in a laser-driven qubit by white noise
Decoherence of an open quantum system could be universally slowed down via ultra-fast modulation including regular, concatenated, random and even noisy control pulse sequences. We propose two noisy control schemes for a laser-driven qubit in order to suppress the dissipation induced by the environment, where employment of a weak driving laser is to alleviate the requirement for the control pulse strength down to the microwave regime. Calculations and analyses are based on a dynamical decoupling approach governed by the quantum-state-diffusion equation and the standard perturbation theory. The schemes can be applied to various systems, such as the cold atoms and quantum dots, manipulated by lasers for quantum information processing.

Dynamics of coupled cavity arrays embedded in a non-Markovian bath
In this paper, the non-Markovian quantum dynamics of a coupled $N$-cavity model is studied based on the quantum state diffusion (QSD) approach. The time-local Di\'{o}si-Gisin-Strunz equation and the corresponding exact master equation are derived for the model consisting of a coupled cavity array. The resulting QSD equation serves as a stochastic solution to a genuine $N$-partite continuous-variable (CV) system. Several non-Markovian effects are studied in two interesting examples -- two-cavity and three-cavity, under different boundary conditions. We have shown that the environment-memory can facilitate the cat-like state transfer from one cavity to another in the case of a strongly non-Markovian environment.

Vacuum-induced quantum memory in an opto-electromechanical system
We propose a scheme to implement electrically controlled quantum memory based on vacuum-induced transparency (VIT) in a high-Q tunable cavity, which is capacitively coupled to a mechanically variable capacitor by a charged mechanical cavity mirror as an interface. We analyze the changes of the cavity photons arising from vacuum-induced-Raman process and discuss VIT in an atomic ensemble trapped in the cavity. By slowly adjusting the voltage on the capacitor, the VIT can be adiabatically switched on or off, meanwhile, the transfer between the probe photon state and the atomic spin state can be electrically and adiabatically modulated. Therefore, we demonstrate a vacuum-induced quantum memory by electrically manipulating the mechanical mirror of the cavity based on electromagnetically induced transparency mechanism.

Scaling of decoherence for a system of uncoupled spin qubits
Significant experimental progresses in recent years have generated continued interest in quantum computation. A practical quantum computer would employ thousands if not millions of coherent qubits, and maintaining coherence in such a large system would be imperative for its utility. As an attempt at understanding the quantum coherence of multiple qubits, here we study decoherence of a multi-spin-qubit state under the influence of hyperfine interaction, and clearly demonstrate that the state structure is crucial to the scaling behavior of n-spin decoherence. Specifically, we find that coherence times of a multi-spin state at most scale with the number of qubits n as √n, while some states with higher symmetries have scale-free coherence with respect to n. Statistically, convergence to these scaling behavior is generally determined by the size of the Hilbert space m, which is usually much larger than n (up to an exponential function of n), so that convergence rate is very fast as we increase the number of qubits. Our results can be extended to other decoherence mechanisms, including in the presence of dynamical decoupling, which allow meaningful discussions on the scalability of spin-based quantum coherent technology.

Suppressing classical noise in the accelerated geometric phase gate by optimized dynamical decoupling
In the quantum-computation scenario, the geometric phase gates are becoming increasingly attractive for their intrinsic fault tolerance to disturbance. With an adiabatic cyclic evolution, Berry phase appears to realize a geometric transformation. Performing the quantum gates as many as possible within the timescale of coherence, however, remains an inconvenient bottleneck due to the systematic errors. Here we propose an accelerated adiabatic quantum gate based on the Berry phase, the transitionless driving, and the dynamical decoupling. It reconciles a high fidelity with a high speed in the presence of control noise or imperfection. We optimize the dynamical-decoupling sequence in the time domain under a popular Gaussian noise spectrum following the inversely quadratic power law.

An anomaly in quantum phases induced by borders
Abstract The stationary behavior of a quantum system is determined by its Hamiltonian and its boundary conditions. All quantum phase transitions (QPT) reported previously were induced by changing the Hamiltonian. In a circular spin model with Heisenberg XY interactions and no magnetic field, we observe an anomaly in quantum phases caused by a qualitative change of the boundary condition. The unexpected anomaly features an infinite number of single-particle levels, in the same pattern as the single-photon-triggered quantum phase transition in the Rabi model.

Backaction‐Noise Suppression and System Stabilization in Double‐Mode Optomechanical Systems
Abstract A double‐mode strategy of coherent quantum noise cancellation (CQNC) is developed to mitigate the effect of the backaction‐noise in optomechanical systems. Working under an asymmetrical configuration, the CQNC strategy of quantum interference can promote the system stabilization in addition to enhance its sensitivity in weak‐force metrology by offsetting the backaction‐noise. Through exploiting the coupling between the probe mode and the ancillary mode, the rotating‐wave term and the counter‐rotating term are found to be responsible under certain circumstances for system‐stability and noise‐suppression, respectively. They demonstrate a subtle compromise between the resonant noise cancellation ratio and the effective damping rate. This strategy can be carried out in optomechanical setups with a membrane in the middle or a twisted‐cavity‐based weak‐torque detector.

Observation and hydrodynamic analysis of fast-start of yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco)
ABSTRACT A suitable correlation can be made to represent the simulated distillation of heavy oils starting from thennoaravimetric measurements. This method is applicable to hydrocarbons having an initial boiling point equal or greater than 200°C. The simulated thermogravimetric distillation fit was obtained from experiments with the standard compounds obtained from ASTM D-2887-83 (Boiling range distribution of petroleum fractions by gas chromatography). This method is simple, fast and without problems when applied to heavy feedstocks The data were used in the determination of average boiling temperatures of products from thermal cracking and thermal hydrocracking. It was also possible to quantify coke yields Average relative molecular masses of products from the above processes correlated well with the average boiling point temperatures. It indicates that, with respect to the hydrocarbon types, thermal cracking is not selective in comparison with thermal hydrocracking The equation applied to find the average boiling temperature is following: T = (1/al) (Ttg-a2). T is the boiling temperature, al and a2 are the correction factors, Ttg is the thermogravimetric temperature.

Epitaxial growth of SrTiO3(0 0 1) films on multilayer buffered GaN (0 0 0 2) by pulsed laser deposition
SrTiO3 films were grown on CeO2/YSZ/TiO2 multilayer buffered GaN/Al2O3 (0 0 0 1) substrates with and without the YBa2Cu3 O7−x (YBCO) bridge layer by pulsed laser deposition (PLD). The deposition process of the buffer layers was in situ monitored by reflection high-energy electron diffraction. The crystallographical orientation of the heterostructure was studied by x-ray diffraction (XRD). With the introduction of the YBCO (0 0 1) layer, the STO (0 0 1) film was epitaxially grown on the GaN substrate. There were three sets of inplane domains separated from each other by 30° in both STO and YBCO buffer layers. The epitaxial relationship was STO (0 0 2)[1 1 0]∥YBCO(0 0 1)[1 1 0]∥CeO2(0 0 2)[0 1 0]∥YSZ (0 0 2)[0 1 0]∥GaN(0 0 0 1)[1 1 -2 0] according to XRD results. By comparing the orientation of STO grown on GaN with and without the YBCO top buffer layer, the surface chemical bonding was found to be a very important factor in determining the orientation relationship of STO.

Fundamental Limitation on Cooling under Classical Noise
We prove a general theorem that the action of arbitrary classical noise or random unitary channels can not increase the maximum population of any eigenstate of an open quantum system, assuming initial system-environment factorization. Such factorization is the conventional starting point for descriptions of open system dynamics. In particular, our theorem implies that a system can not be ideally cooled down unless it is initially prepared as a pure state. The resultant inequality rigorously constrains the possibility of cooling the system solely through temporal manipulation, i.e., dynamical control over the system Hamiltonian without resorting to measurement based cooling methods. It is a substantial generalization of the no-go theorem claiming that the exact ground state cooling is forbidden given initial system-thermal bath factorization, while here we prove even cooling is impossible under classical noise.

This paper proposed a research approach for building an MCI diagnostic model using a Bayesian-optimized bidirectional long short-term memory network (BO-BiLSTM) to address this problem. The diagnostic model was based on a Bayesian algorithm and combined prior distribution and posterior probability results to optimize the BO-BiLSTM network hyperparameters. It also used multiple feature quantities that fully reflected the cognitive state of the MCI brain, such as power spectral density, fuzzy entropy, and multifractal spectrum, as the input of the diagnostic model to achieve automatic MCI diagnosis. The results showed that the feature-fused Bayesian-optimized BiLSTM network model achieved an MCI diagnostic accuracy of 98.64% and effectively completed the diagnostic assessment of MCI. In conclusion, based on this optimization, the long short-term neural network model has achieved automatic diagnostic assessment of MCI, providing a new diagnostic model for intelligent diagnosis of MCI.循环神经网络结构极大地优化了时间序列数据的处理能力,但是其网络梯度爆炸以及特征提取能力较差等问题,影响了它在轻度认知障碍(MCI)自动诊断中的应用。针对这一问题,本文提出贝叶斯优化双向长短时神经网络(BO-BiLSTM)构建MCI诊断模型的研究思路。诊断模型基于贝叶斯算法,结合先验分布与后验概率结果共同作用寻优BO-BiLSTM网络超参数,并采用功率谱密度、模糊熵以及多重分形谱等能够充分反映MCI脑认知状态的多角度特征量作为诊断模型的输入,实现MCI自动诊断。结果表明:基于特征融合的贝叶斯优化BiLSTM网络模型,MCI诊断正确率可达到98.64%,能够有效地完成MCI的诊断评估。综上,基于此优化的长短时神经网络模型,实现了MCI的自动诊断评估,为MCI智能诊断提供了一种新的模型。.

Generic eigenstate preparation via measurement-based purification
It is not a general opinion that that a quantum system could be purified into a target eigenstate via repeated measurements on a coupled qubit rather than direct transitions in the Hamiltonian. The projective measurement on the ancillary qubit gives rise to the positive operator-valued measures on the system that can filter out the unwanted states except the target one. In application, we discuss the measurement-based entanglement purification by which maximally entangled states (Bell states and Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states) can be distilled from the maximally mixed states or separable states. We also demonstrate the significant acceleration of a stimulated Raman adiabatic passage assisted by similar measurements. Our scheme allows arbitrary eigenstate preparation and reveals efficiency in multipartite systems for subspace purification. It offers a promising and generic quantum-control framework enriching the functionalities of quantum measurement.

DeepSOZ: A Robust Deep Model for Joint Temporal and Spatial Seizure Onset Localization from Multichannel EEG Data
We propose a robust deep learning framework to simultaneously detect and localize seizure activity from multichannel scalp EEG. Our model, called DeepSOZ, consists of a transformer encoder to generate global and channel-wise encodings. The global branch is combined with an LSTM for temporal seizure detection. In parallel, we employ attention-weighted multi-instance pooling of channel-wise encodings to predict the seizure onset zone. DeepSOZis trained in a supervised fashion and generates high-resolution predictions on the order of each second (temporal) and EEG channel (spatial). We validate DeepSOZvia bootstrapped nested cross-validation on a large dataset of 120 patients curated from the Temple University Hospital corpus. As compared to baseline approaches, DeepSOZprovides robust overall performance in our multi-task learning setup. We also evaluate the intra-seizure and intra-patient consistency of DeepSOZas a first step to establishing its trustworthiness for integration into the clinical workflow for epilepsy.

[A study on the application of cross-frequency coupling characteristics of neural oscillation in the diagnosis of mild cognitive impairment].
In order to fully explore the neural oscillatory coupling characteristics of patients with mild cognitive impairment (MCI), this paper analyzed and compared the strength of the coupling characteristics for 28 MCI patients and 21 normal subjects under six different-frequency combinations. The results showed that the difference in the global phase synchronization index of cross-frequency coupling under δ-θ rhythm combination was statistically significant in the MCI group compared with the normal control group ( P = 0.025, d = 0.398). To further validate this coupling feature, this paper proposed an optimized convolutional neural network model that incorporated a time-frequency data enhancement module and batch normalization layers to prevent overfitting while enhancing the robustness of the model. Based on this optimized model, with the phase locking value matrix of δ-θ rhythm combination as the single input feature, the diagnostic accuracy of MCI patients was (95.49 ± 4.15)%, sensitivity and specificity were (93.71 ± 7.21)% and (97.50 ± 5.34)%, respectively. The results showed that the characteristics of the phase locking value matrix under the combination of δ-θ rhythms can adequately reflect the cognitive status of MCI patients, which is helpful to assist the diagnosis of MCI.为了充分挖掘轻度认知障碍(MCI)患者的神经振荡耦合特征,本文分析对比了28名MCI患者(MCI组)与21名正常人(正常对照组)在六种异频组合下的耦合特征强度。结果表明,与正常对照组相比,MCI组在δ-θ节律组合下交叉频率耦合的全局相位同步指数差异具有统计学意义( P = 0.025, d = 0.398)。为了进一步验证此耦合特征,本文提出一种优化的卷积神经网络模型,该模型融入了时频数据增强模块与批归一化层,在防止过拟合的同时增强了模型的鲁棒性。基于此优化模型,以δ-θ节律组合下的锁相值矩阵作为模型输入的单一特征,对MCI患者的诊断正确率达(95.49±4.15)%,敏感性与特异性分别为(93.71 ± 7.21)%和(97.50 ± 5.34)%。本文研究结果表明,δ-θ节律组合下的锁相值矩阵特征能够充分反映MCI患者的认知状态,有利于辅助MCI诊断。.
