A Quantum Constellation
نویسنده
چکیده
The Italian physicist Ettore Majorana, who disappeared in 1938, is now widely recognized for inventing the notion of a fermionic particle, the Majorana fermion, which has the strange property of being its own antiparticle [1]. What is perhaps less well known is that he also developed a natural and exact representation of a quantum spin [2], which inspired Julian Schwinger to create the bosonic representation often used today in the theoretical study of quantum spin systems [3].

متن کاملFeasibility of Managing a Dynamic Constellation to a Fixed Constellation Definition
The GPS satellite constellation is dynamic. Earth gravitational forces cause orbits to vary, and solar and lunar gravitational forces produce out-of-plane perturbations. Launch dispersions often result in orbits that are not nominal. Even the number of satellites in the constellation can vary over time given anticipated and actual satellite failures and routine maintenance. The GPS satellite co...
متن کاملUnitary Space-Time Constellation Designs From Group Codes
We propose new unitary space-time constellation designs with high diversity products. Our Hamiltonian and product constellations are based on Slepian’s group codes, and can be used for any number of transmitter antennas M and any data rate R. Our Hamiltonian constellations achieve the theoretical upper bound of diversity product in the case where M is even and the cardinality of the signal cons...
متن کاملScheduling a constellation of agile earth observation satellites with preemption
In this paper, we consider a scheduling problem for a set of agile Earth observation satellites for scanning different parts of the Earth’s surface. We assume that preemption is allowed to prevent repetitive images and develop four different preemption policies. Scheduling is done for the imaging time window and transmission time domain to the Earth stations as well. The value of each picture ...
متن کاملPerformance analysis of partially coherent SSD systems
The performance analysis of a system employing co-ordinate interleaving and constellation rotation, over Nakagami-m fading channels, in the presence of phase noise as well as additive white Gaussian noise, is presented. An upper bound for the average probability of bit error for M-ary phase shift keying is derived. It is shown that the derived upper bound is tight for high signal-to-noise ratio...
