This paper considers the nucleation and propagation of a normal zone in large composite superconductors, considering the relatively tong time of current redistribution in the stabilizer. A model is proposed for treating the composite as an effective electrical circuit, which yields two diffusion equations for the electric current and the temperature distributions along the conductor. Numerical ...

Self-orthogonal J-affine variety codes have been successfully used to obtain quantum stabilizer codes with excellent parameters. In a previous paper we gave formulae for the dimension of this family of quantum codes, but no bound for the minimum distance was given. In this work, we show how to derive quantum stabilizer codes with designed minimum distance from J-affine variety codes and their s...

The perceived motion of two added sinusoidal gratings of similar amplitude and spatial frequency but different orientations is often coherent. However, when either relative grating contrast or frequency are varied, perception may transform to a motion transparency. For plaids, both multiplicative and additive transparent percepts are reported. To explain perception, several computational models...

This thesis is an exposition of a classification of classical reversible gates acting on bits in terms of the reversible transformations they generate, which was recently completed by the author, Scott Aaronson, and Luke Schaeffer. In particular, we present those portions of the classification which were the main contributions of the author. Most importantly, this thesis contains the proof that...

In this note we show that the nth Morava E-cohomology group of a finite spectrum with action of the nth Morava stabilizer group can be recovered from the (n + 1)st Morava Ecohomology group with action of the (n + 1)st Morava stabilizer group.

We show that any stabilizer code over a finite field is equivalent to a graphical quantum code. Furthermore we prove that a graphical quantum code over a finite field is a stabilizer code. The technique used in the proof establishes a new connection between quantum codes and quadratic forms. We provide some simple examples to illustrate our results.

We show how, given any set of generators of the stabilizer of a quantum code, an eecient gate array that computes the codewords can be constructed. For an n-qubit code whose stabilizer has d generators, the resulting gate array consists of O(nd) operations, and converts k-qubit data (where k = n ? d) into n-qubit codewords.

atorvastatin calcium, the lipid lowering agent, is taken as a model drug characterized by poor water solubility and bioavailability. in this study an attempt was made for preparation of nanocrystals using high pressure homogenization. a number of stabilizers were included as well as polymers at different concentrations, and the formulations were homogenized for ten cycles at a pressure of 1000 ...

Recently, the field of quantum error-correcting codes has rapidly emerged as an important discipline. As quantum information is extremely sensitive to noise, it seems unlikely that any large scale quantum computation is feasible without quantum error-correction. In
