Based on the group velocity concept and the particle current conservation principle, we calculate the spin-tunneling time as the function of the intensity of Rashba spinrblt coupling and the length of the semiconductor. We find that as the length of the semiconductor increases, the spintunneling time does not increase linearly but shows behavior of slight oscillation, i;brthermore, with the increasing of the soin-orbit coupling, the spin-tunneling time increases.展开更多

By adjusting the anisotropic parameter and the magnetic field, one is able to obtain entanglement at higher temperature.

The average fidelity is used to evaluate the state transfer. It is found that quantum communication can be enhanced by the anisotropic coupling and multiple spin interaction. Such spin model can reduce the time required for the perfect state transmission where the fidelity is unity. The maximally entangled Bell states can be generated and separated from the whole quantum systems.展开更多

The above collective behavior is likely resulted from interelectron correlations, characteristic for strongly correlated systems containing atoms with unoccupied 3d-, 4f- and 5f- shells. Among such systems can be the heterospin systems, complexes of paramagnetic ions of transition metals with organic radicals, because for such objects, spin-spin interaction between unpaired electron spins of different paramagnetic centers is typical. To apply the aforementioned possibility for the organization of real quantum calculations, it is necessary to synthesize such paramagnetic molecules (paramagnetic clusters), where the entangled states will be realized naturally by self-organization of atoms incorporated in these molecules, i.e., without additional external effect of q-bits on the system. The specified self-organization may be due to intramolecular processes and, in particular, intramolecular rearrangement called valence tautomerism, which leads to heterogeneous magnetic states, i.e., to phase layering in paramagnetic cluster owing to interelectron correlations. The states realized during the phase layering can be used for coding the digits. Since such states correspond to specific structures of para-magnetic molecule, they can exist as much as long under certain conditions. In turn, it means that the account of the interelectron correlations, which take place in strongly correlated compounds, allows (at least, in principle) one to create elementary quantum bit of the information capable of modeling the elementary logical operations. Creation of a network of such quantum bits combined in a certain sequence should be considered as a practical step on a way to experimental realization of the idea of quantum computer creation. The group consisting of three quantum points can make the basis of quantum computer. In such a gate, quantum points can be connected via the interaction modeled by spin-spin interaction, characteristic for ABX system in NMR spectroscopy. The tunnel effect, which can be easily realized and controlled, can act as an indicator of bonding in such a block. The calculation procedure can be organized assuming that the initial state of the group corresponds to 1. Infringement of such a state indicates to zero (or, on the contrary). Thus, the calculation in the binary system becomes organized. The creation of a network on the basis of combination of such processors in certain sequence should be considered as a practical step on a way to experimental realization of the idea of the quantum computer creation.展开更多

O...We study theoretically the ground state energy of a polaron near the interface of a polar-polar semiconductor by considering the Rashba spin-orbit (SO) coupling with the Lee-Low-Pines intermediate coupling method. Our numerical results show that the Rashba SO interaction originating from the inversion asymmetry in the heterostructure splits the ground state energy of the polaron. The electron area/density and vector dependence of the ratio of the SO interaction to the total ground state energy or other energy composition are obvious. One can see that even without any external magnetic field, the ground state energy can be split by the Rashba SO interaction, and this split is not a single but a complex one. Since the presents of the phonons, whose energy gives negative contribution to the polaron's, the spin-splitting states of the polaron are more stable than electron's.展开更多

The behaviors of the magnetizations and the orientation correlations change dramatically as the anisotropy increases to the critical value. The domain length can be controlled by adjusting the temperature and the external field as well as the anisotropy. These properties are interesting and arise from the competition between the anisotropy and the interaction along the chain.展开更多

Based on the slave-boson mean-field theory, we find that in this system the persistent current (PC) sensitively depends on the parity and size of the AB ring and can be tuned by the spin-flip scattering (R). In the small AB ring, the PC is suppressed due to the enhancing R weakening the Kondo resonance. On the contrary, in the large AB ring, with R increasing, the peak of PC firstly moves up to max-peak and then down. Especially, the PC phase shift of π appears suddenly with the proper value of R, implying the existence of the anomalous Kondo effect in this system. Thus this system may be a carldidate for quantum switch.展开更多

Nevertheless, it is the properties of substances that are decisive for their existence and practical applications. Searching for new class of materials with exotic properties has always been challenging because of the complexity of both the theoretical and the experimental approaches developed so far. Here, we propose that the three ubiquitous and paramount attributes of all existing matter charge(Q), spin(S) or rotational motion, and linear motion(K) can be used to account for the formation of different types of matter/materials and their properties that have been or will be known to us. The three attributes or original codes can produce six primary codes which can further produce another sixty codes. The physical meanings represented by each code are unlocked. The table consisting of the 60 codes is introduced as the table of properties of codes of matter. We demonstrate that these codes can be used as building blocks to form new properties and new materials. Many new types of quasiparticles and new classes of materials with exotic properties of Q, S and K are predicted. Their possible experimental realizations are proposed. The possible applications of the codes of matter in other fields such as elementary particles, photonics and chemistry are briefly discussed. We know that there should be more new materials and new electronic, spin and photonic states to be discovered, but we do not know what they are. The codes of matter clearly reveal to us how many and what they are and how easily we can recognize what they are. Experimental and theoretical exploration for new forms of matter, new quasiparticles, or new electronic and spin states, or new states of photon or properties of light, as well as macroscopic entities with exotic properties represented by the codes of matter, is imminent.展开更多

The influence of the frustration and anisotropy is found in the thermodynamics of the model, such as the temperature dependence of the staggered magnetization and specific heat. For some selected values of the frustration and anisotropy parameters, the results for the specific heat are compared with those of existing theories and numerical estimates. Within a spinwave analysis, we have found the evidence for an intermediate magnetically disorder phase to separate the Nel and collinear phases.展开更多
