Our protocol shows that the graphene-based quantum dots can be distributed in a maximally entangled state through the interaction with single photons. In our proposed scheme, the setups are simplified as only single-photon detection is required. This provides a fast, all-optical manipulation of on-chip qubits,which gives an effective way for quantum information processing in graphene-based solid qubits.展开更多

To suppress the noise in detection of the weak current of nanopore, we investigated the influence of membrane capacitance and applied voltage on the noise of the current signal by model analysis, simulation and experiment. The obtained results demonstrated that membrane capacitance affects the noise by amplifying the noise of the applied voltage. Therefore, suppression of applied voltage noise is an efficient approach for reducing the noise in nanopore detection. Here, we developed an ultra-low noise instrument system for detecting the single molecule signal in nanopores. As demonstrated by nanopore experiments, the p-p noise of the developed system during the recording is reduced to 3.2B pA using the filter of 5 kHz. Therefore, the developed system could be applied in highly sensitive nanopore detection.展开更多
