B₀ inhomogeneity-insensitive triple-quantum-filtered sodium imaging using a 12-step phase-cycling scheme.

ABSTRACT: Triple-quantum-filtered (TQF) sodium MRI can be used to separate sodium NMR signals from different physiological compartments. Although three-pulse triple-quantum filtering has been demonstrated to be better suited for in vivo imaging, the absence of the refocusing pulse in the filter increases its sensitivity to magnetic field inhomogeneities. Therefore, several TQF cycles have been developed previously to correct image distortions caused by B(0) inhomogeneities. In this paper, we present a new 12-step phase-cycling TQF scheme based on three radiofrequency pulses which allows the compensation of B(0) variations both with and without ancillary B(0) map information. The method offers 40% higher signal-to-noise-ratio efficiency compared with the previously developed B(0)-correcting phase-cycling schemes.

1-1-12 one-step wash-in scheme for desflurane low flow anesthesia: performance without nitrous oxide.

Project description:We reported a 1-1-12 wash-in scheme for desflurane-nitrous oxide (N2O) low flow anesthesia that is simple, rapid, and predictable. There remain some situations where N2O should be avoided, which limits the generalizability of this wash-in scheme. The objective of our study was to determine the performance of this scheme in contexts where N2O is not used.We recruited 106 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia. After induction and intubation, wash-in was started with a fresh gas flow of air:O2 1:1 L/min and a vaporizer concentration of desflurane of 12%. Controlled ventilation was then adjusted to maintain PACO2 at 30-35 mmHg.The alveolar concentration of desflurane (FAD) rose rapidly from 0% to 6% in 4 minutes in the same pattern as observed in our previous study in which N2O was used. An FAD of 7% was achieved in 6 minutes. An FAD of 1% to 7% occurred at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 6 minutes. The rise in heart rate during wash-in was statistically significant, although not clinically so. There was a slight but statistically significant decrease in blood pressure, but this had no clinical significance.Performance of the 1-1-12 wash-in scheme is independent of the use of N2O. Respective FADs of 1%, 2%, 3%, 4%, 5%, 6%, and 7% can be expected at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, 4, and 6 minutes.

Enhanced quantum signature scheme using quantum amplitude amplification operators.

Project description:Quantum signature is the use of the principles of quantum computing to establish a trusted communication between two parties. In this paper, a quantum signature scheme using amplitude amplification techniques will be proposed. To secure the signature, the proposed scheme uses a partial diffusion operator and a diffusion operator to hide/unhide certain quantum states during communication. The proposed scheme consists of three phases, preparation phase, signature phase and verification phase. To confuse the eavesdropper, the quantum states representing the signature might be hidden, not hidden or encoded in Bell states. It will be shown that the proposed scheme is more secure against eavesdropping when compared with relevant quantum signature schemes.

1-1-12 one-step wash-in scheme for desflurane-nitrous oxide low-flow anesthesia: rapid and predictable induction.

Project description:BackgroundWe propose a 1-1-12 wash-in scheme for desflurane-nitrous oxide (N2O) low-flow anesthesia. The objective of our study was to determine the time to achieve alveolar concentration of desflurane (FAD) at 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6%.MethodsWe enrolled 106 patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia. After induction and intubation, wash-in was started with a fresh gas flow (FGF) of N2O : O2 1 : 1 L min(-1) and vaporizer concentration of desflurane (FD) of 12%. Ventilation was controlled to maintain PACO2 at 30-35 mmHg.ResultsThe FAD rose rapidly from 0 to 4% in 2 min in a linear manner in 0.5 min increments. An FAD of 6% was achieved in 4 min in a linear fashion from FAD of 4% but in 1 min increments. An FAD of 1 to 6% occurred at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4 min. Heart rate during wash-in showed a statistically, albeit not clinically, significant pattern of increase. By contrast, blood pressure slightly decreased during this period.ConclusionsWe developed a 1-1-12 wash-in scheme using a FGF of N2O : O2 1 : 1 L min(-1) and FD of 12% for desflurane-nitrous oxide low-flow anesthesia. A respective FAD of 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6% can be expected at 0.6, 1, 1.5, 2, 3, and 4 min.

Coherently controlled quantum features in a coupled interferometric scheme.

Project description:Over the last several decades, entangled photon pairs generated by spontaneous parametric down conversion processes in both second-order and third-order nonlinear optical materials have been intensively studied for various quantum features such as Bell inequality violation and anticorrelation. In an interferometric scheme, anticorrelation results from photon bunching based on randomness when entangled photon pairs coincidently impinge on a beam splitter. Compared with post-measurement-based probabilistic confirmation, a coherence version has been recently proposed using the wave nature of photons. Here, the origin of quantum features in a coupled interferometric scheme is investigated using pure coherence optics. In addition, a deterministic method of entangled photon-pair generation is proposed for on-demand coherence control of quantum processing.

Isotopically enhanced triple-quantum-dot qubit.

Project description:Like modern microprocessors today, future processors of quantum information may be implemented using all-electrical control of silicon-based devices. A semiconductor spin qubit may be controlled without the use of magnetic fields by using three electrons in three tunnel-coupled quantum dots. Triple dots have previously been implemented in GaAs, but this material suffers from intrinsic nuclear magnetic noise. Reduction of this noise is possible by fabricating devices using isotopically purified silicon. We demonstrate universal coherent control of a triple-quantum-dot qubit implemented in an isotopically enhanced Si/SiGe heterostructure. Composite pulses are used to implement spin-echo type sequences, and differential charge sensing enables single-shot state readout. These experiments demonstrate sufficient control with sufficiently low noise to enable the long pulse sequences required for exchange-only two-qubit logic and randomized benchmarking.

Nondestructive Cooling of an Atomic Quantum Register via State-Insensitive Rydberg Interactions.

Project description:We propose a protocol for sympathetically cooling neutral atoms without destroying the quantum information stored in their internal states. This is achieved by designing state-insensitive Rydberg interactions between the data-carrying atoms and cold auxiliary atoms. The resulting interactions give rise to an effective phonon coupling, which leads to the transfer of heat from the data atoms to the auxiliary atoms, where the latter can be cooled by conventional methods. This can be used to extend the lifetime of quantum storage based on neutral atoms and can have applications for long quantum computations. The protocol can also be modified to realize state-insensitive interactions between the data and the auxiliary atoms but tunable and nontrivial interactions among the data atoms, allowing one to simultaneously cool and simulate a quantum spin model.

Multiplet-filtered and gradient-selected zero-quantum TROSY experiments for 13C1H3 methyl groups in proteins.

Project description:Multiplet-filtered and gradient-selected heteronuclear zero-quantum coherence (gsHZQC) TROSY experiments are described for measuring (1)H-(13)C correlations for (13)CH(3) methyl groups in proteins. These experiments provide improved suppression of undesirable, broad outer components of the heteronuclear zero-quantum multiplet in medium-sized proteins, or in flexible sites of larger proteins, compared to previously described HZQC sequences (Tugarinov et al. in J Am Chem Soc 126:4921-4925, 2004; Ollerenshaw et al. in J Biomol NMR 33:25-41, 2005). Hahn-echo versions of the gsHZQC experiment also are described for measuring zero- and double-quantum transverse relaxation rate constants for identification of chemical exchange broadening. Application of the proposed pulse sequences to Escherichia coli ribonuclease HI, with a molecular mass of 18 kD, indicates that improved multiplet suppression is obtained without substantial loss of sensitivity.

A noise-resisted scheme of dynamical decoupling pulses for quantum memories.

Project description:Stable quantum memories that capable of storing quantum information for long time scales are an essential building block for an array of potential applications. The long memory time are usually achieved via dynamical decoupling technique involving decoupling of the memory states from its local environment. However, because this process is strongly limited by the errors in the pulses, an noise-protected scheme remains challenging in the field of quantum memories. Here we propose a scheme to design a noise-resisted [Formula: see text] pulse, which features high fidelity exceeding [Formula: see text] under realistic situations. Using this [Formula: see text] pulse we can generate different dynamical decoupling sequences that preserve high fidelity for long time scales. The versatility, robustness, and potential scalability of this method may allow for various applications in quantum memories technology.

A simple quantum voting scheme with multi-qubit entanglement.

Project description:We propose a simple quantum voting scenario with a set of pairs of particles in a multi-particle entangled state. This scenario is suitable for large scale general votings. We also provide a proof of security of our scheme against the most general type of attack by generalizing Shor and Preskill's proof of security of the other schemes.

Quantum Cascade Laser-Based Vibrational Circular Dichroism Augmented by a Balanced Detection Scheme.

Project description:Vibrational circular dichroism (VCD) constitutes a powerful technique, enabling the determination of the absolute configuration of molecules without the need for specialized reagents. While delivering critical information, VCD signals commonly are several orders of magnitude weaker than classical absorbance signals, which so far necessitated long measurement times to achieve acceptable signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs) in VCD experiments. We present here an improved setup for the measurement of VCD in the range between 5.6 and 6.5 μm. Employing an external cavity quantum cascade laser (EC-QCL) as a high-power light source, we collected spectra with competitive noise levels in less than 5 min. The basis for this improvement was a balanced detection module combined with an optical path catered to VCD measurements. With the stabilization provided by the two-detector setup, noise originating from the laser source could be suppressed effectively. Noise level improvement up to a factor of 4 compared to the classical single detector EC-QCL-VCD could be reported. Compared to commercial Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) instruments, the presented setup offers measurement time reductions of a factor of at least 6, with comparable noise levels. The applicability of the setup for qualitative and quantitative VCDs was proven. With the comparatively high temporal resolution provided, the monitoring of optically active processes will be possible in future applications.
