Resonant strengths have been measured for dielectronic recombination of Li-like iodine, holmium, and bismuth using an electron beam ion trap. By observing the atomic number dependence of the state-resolved resonant strength, clear experimental evidence has been obtained that the importance of the generalized Breit interaction (GBI) effect on dielectronic recombination increases as the atomic nu...

Submitted for the MAR12 Meeting of The American Physical Society All-resonant control of superconducting resonator qudits1 FREDERICK STRAUCH, Williams College — Quantum information processing with using superpositions of Fock states in superconducting resonators holds great promise for multi-level (i.e. qudit) quantum logic. Previous theoretical work has shown that a combination of dispersive a...

Soft Switcing techniques have recently been applied in the design of dc-ac converters, in order to achive better performance, higher efficiency, and power density. One of the soft switching techniques uesd in inverters is resonant dc links. These topologies have some disadvantages such as irregular current peaks, large voltage peaks, uncotrollble pulse width, etc. Another soft switching method ...

We consider the interference of resonant amplitudes leading to the final state KSπ π inD/D0 decays. Each of these amplitudes consists of both Cabibbo allowed and doubly Cabibbo suppressed transitions. The role of strong phase arising out of Breit-Wigner resonant propagators is emphasised. Invoking the ∆S = ∆Q rule, KS in the final state is identified as the mass eigenstate of superposed weak ei...

By using the Green-function approach to the quantization of the electromagnetic field, the procrustean distillation for quantum entanglement by the anisotropic magnetodielectric metamaterial has been proposed. We study the distillation of the non-maximally entangled pure states by a single layer of the anisotropic magnetodielectric metamaterial. The Clauser– Horne–Shimony–Holt parameter S for t...

A soft-switching buck converter is proposed for battery charging application. This converter can also be used with other low voltage miniature applications. Resonant inductor and capacitor helps to turn on-off the switch at zero current. This reduces switching losses in our conventional converter. In order to determine two (current) zero-cross points for switch-on and switch-off, the quasi-reso...

Time-dependent Hartree-Fock simulations for a linear triatomic molecular monocation (CO2) interacting with a 5 fs, 800 nm, strong field laser pulse were performed to explore the excitation mechanisms in a molecular cation. Fourier analysis of the time-dependent residual dipole moment reveal a nonmonotonic behavior in the amplitude of the 5.18 eV feature in the excitation spectra of the molecula...
