Orientation determination of nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond using a static magnetic field

Nitrogen-vacancy(NV)centers in a bulk diamond are often employed to realize measurement of multiple physical quantities,which depends on orientation information of NV axis.We report a fast and effective method to determine the orientation of NV axis with the aid of a static magnetic field.By measuring the optically detected magnetic resonance spectra,we can precisely extract the polar angle information between the NV axis and the known magnetic field.Combining with the polar angle information of different kinds of NV centers,we employ the Nelder-Mead algorithm to get the optimal solution of the orientation of NV axis.This method is simple and efficient,and is easily applied in NV-based quantum sensing.

车载自组网中基于密钥协商的条件隐私保护认证方案

车载自组网作为智慧交通的重要组成部分,其安全和隐私一直是被关注的2个难题。特别是在计算资源和存储资源向边沿端移动的去中心化趋势下,分布式的认证集群开始取代单一的认证中心,而现有的认证方案中较少考虑到认证服务集群的稳定性。为此,文章提出一种车载自组网中基于密钥协商的条件隐私保护认证方案。该方案利用树实现密钥协商协议中的密钥生成和更新,以保证认证服务集群中各个服务节点之间的信息同步;同时,结合匿名认证技术和分布式认证集群共同保障车辆、认证服务集群、可信权威之间的认证过程的隐私和安全。该方案不仅可保护车载自组网中的安全和隐私,还可维护认证集群的健壮性。
