Quantum Processes: A Novel Optimization for Quantum Simulation

Simulation of Direct Pumping of Quantum Dots in a Quantum Dot Laser

In this paper, the nonlinear rate equations governing a quantum dot laser isused to simulate the transient as well as the steady-state behaviors of the laser.Computation results show that the rate equations are capable of simulating true behaviorof a quantum dot laser. Then, the pump rates of the rate equations (which show indirectelectrical pumping of the quantum dots through a wetting layer) ...

Design Optimization for 4.1-THZ Quantum Cascade Lasers

We present an optimized design for GaAs/AlGaAs quantum cascade lasers operating at ‎‎4.1THz. This was based on a three-well active module with diagonal radiative transition. This ‎was performed by modifying the existing model structure, to reduce the parasitic anticrossings ‎‎(leakage currents) as well as the optical gain linewidth. While the gain FWHM was reduced by ‎more than 50% the gain pea...

BQIABC: A new Quantum-Inspired Artificial Bee Colony Algorithm for Binary Optimization Problems

Artificial bee colony (ABC) algorithm is a swarm intelligence optimization algorithm inspired by the intelligent behavior of honey bees when searching for food sources. The various versions of the ABC algorithm have been widely used to solve continuous and discrete optimization problems in different fields. In this paper a new binary version of the ABC algorithm inspired by quantum computing, c...

The Quantum Statistical Mechanical Theory of Transport Processes

A new derivation of the quantum Boltzmann transport equation for the Fermion system from the quantum time evolution equation for the wigner distribution function is presented. The method exhibits the origin of the time - irreversibility of the Boltzmann equation. In the present work, the spin dependent and indistinguishibility of particles are also considered.
