The phase shifting angle can be tuned from 0 to 27r by simply adjusting the qubit-resonator detuning and the interaction time. Based on this gate proposal, we give a detailed procedure to implement the three-qubit quantum Fourier transform with circuit quantum eleetrodynamics (QED). A careful analysis of the decoherence sources shows that the algorithm can be achieved with a high fidelity using current circuit QED techniques.展开更多

FlexPDE uses the finite element method for the solution of boundary and initial value problems. A flexible input of the governing DE's and of material properties functions allows the simulation of non-linear variable behavior quickly and inexpensively. A modeling of temperature distribution in one-dimensional problem, a cross section of an electric wire was simulated. Comparison of those results obtained by FlexPDE with analytical and numerical solutions are done. The results compared well with those obtained from the analytical and numerical methods. The adaptability of the FlexPDE software for solving a variety of problem types was clearly demonstrated.展开更多

MODFLOW compatible MT3D was used for simulation development of the area. It can be concluded that: (1) The groundwater in the Batinah area generally flows from the south-west to the gulf of Oman in the north-east; (2) Recharge takes place through direct recharge from rainfall and wadi flow by about 902 ×10^3 ma/day; (3) The hydraulic conductivity attains a relatively wide range between 0.02 m/day and 78 m/day and 0.02 m/day and 60 m/day for the Quaternary and Fars respectively; (4) There is probably less potential for groundwater abstraction in the northern part of the area; (5) The water level decreased by about 6 m over 24 years and (6) The increase of salinity most likely due to a contribution of sea water intrusion from the gulf along the coast. It is recommended that: (1) automatic well control system should be installed to accurate measurements of abstraction; (2) further analysis under different future scenarios should be made and (3) formulate an integrated management plan for the basin.展开更多

Numerical simulations for two-dimensional flow induced by stretching surface are performed by using Galerkin finite element method(GFEM) with linear shape functions. After assembly process, nonlinear algebraic equations are linearized through Picard method and resulting linear system is solved iteratively using Gauss Seidal method with simulation tolerance 10^(-8). Maximum value of independent variableη is searched through numerical experiments. Grid independent study was carried out and error analysis is performed.Simulated results are validated by comparing with already published results. Parametric study is carried out to explore the physics of the flow. The concentration increases when mass diffusion coefficient is increased. The concentration and thermal boundary layer thicknesses increase when ?_1 and ? are increased. The effect of generative chemical reaction on concentration is opposite to the effect of destructive chemical reaction on the concentration.展开更多

The thermal conductivity coefficient obtained from HNEMD is dependent on various plasma parameters (T,k). The proposed algorithm gives accurate results with fast convergence and small size effect over a wide range of plasma parameters. The cross microscopic heat energy current is discussed in association with variation of temperature (1/Г) and external perturbations (Pz). The thermal conductivity obtained from HNEMD simulations is found to be very good agreement and more reliable than previously known numerical techniques of equilibrium molecular dynarnic, nonequilibrium molecular dynamic simulations. Our new investigations point to an effective conclusion that the thermal conductivity of complex dusty plasmas is dependent on an extensive range of plasma coupling (P) and screening parameter (k) and it varies by the alteration in these parameters. It is also shown that a different approach is used for computations of thermal conductivity in 2D complex plasmas and can be appropriate method for behaviors of complex systems.展开更多

The results of theexperiment and simulation show that the differences of hydraulic conductivity, specific conductivity and leafspecific conductivity is great in different stems and branches of Pinus tabulaeformis seedlings. The hydraulicconductivity of non-constriction area is higher than that of constriction area. The devotion of functionalxylem of stem to unit leaf growth is not a constant, namely, the Huber value is diverse. Even though the pipemodel has been accepted in some areas, its precondition is not perfect, and it is helpless in correctlyunderstanding the essence of water transport in seedlings from the prospective of water physiology.展开更多
