The Photochemical Nature of the Photosensory Process

1. In order to produce a response in Mya, the minimum amount of light energy required is 5.62 meter candle seconds. This energy follows the Bunsen-Roscoe law for the relation between intensity and time of exposure. 2. The necessary minimum amount of energy varies but little with the temperature; the temperature coefficient for 10 degrees C. is 1.06. 3. In view of these facts it is concluded tha...

Quantum Photonic Circuit

One promising approach for scalable quantum computing is to use an alloptical architecture, in which the qubits are represented by photons and manipulated by mirrors and beam splitters. So far, researchers have demonstrated this method, called Linear Optical Quantum Computing, on a very small scale by performing operations using just a few photons. In an attempt to scale up this method to large...

Quantum Circuit Complexity

We propose a complexity model of quantum circuits analogous to the standard (acyclic) Boolean circuit model. It is shown that any function computable in polynomial time by a quantum Turing machine has a polynomial-size quantum circuit. This result also enables us to construct a universal quantum computer which can simulate, with a polynomial factor slowdown, a broader class of quantum machines ...

Quantum-circuit refrigerator

Quantum technology promises revolutionizing applications in information processing, communications, sensing and modelling. However, efficient on-demand cooling of the functional quantum degrees of freedom remains challenging in many solid-state implementations, such as superconducting circuits. Here we demonstrate direct cooling of a superconducting resonator mode using voltage-controllable ele...
