Abstract

The effect of noise on the nonlinear photoionization of an atom due to a femtosecond pulse is investigated in the framework of the stochastic Schroedinger equation. A modest amount of white noise results in an enhancement of the net ionization yield by several orders of magnitude, giving rise to a form of quantum stochastic resonance. We demonstrate that this effect is preserved if the white noise is replaced by broadband chaotic light.

Investigation of optimal photoionization schemes for Sm by multi-step resonance ionization

Journal Article Cha, Hyungki ; Song, Kyuseok ; Lee, Jongmin - AIP Conference Proceedings

Excited states of Sm atoms are investigated by using multi-color resonance enhanced multiphoton ionization spectroscopy. Among the ionization signals one observed at 577.86 nm is regarded as the most efficient excited state if an 1-color 3-photon scheme is applied. Meanwhile an observed level located at 587.42 nm is regarded as the most efficient state if one uses a 2-color scheme. For 2-color scheme a level located at 573.50 nm from this first excited state is one of the best second excited state for the optimal photoionization scheme. Based on this ionization scheme various concentrations of standard solutions for samarium aremore »« less

Photoionization of Xe inside C{sub 60}: Atom-fullerene hybridization, giant cross-section enhancement, and correlation confinement resonances

Journal Article Madjet, Mohamed E. ; Renger, Thomas ; Hopper, Dale E. ; ... - Physical Review. A

A theoretical study of the subshell photoionization of the Xe atom endohedrally confined in C{sub 60} is presented. Powerful hybridization of the Xe 5s state with the bottom edge of C{sub 60} pi band is found that induces strong structures in the 5s ionization, causing the cross section to differ significantly from earlier results that omit this hybridization. The hybridization also affects the angular distribution asymmetry parameter of Xe 5p ionization near the Cooper minimum. The 5p cross section, on the other hand, is greatly enhanced by borrowing considerable oscillator strength from the C{sub 60} giant plasmon resonance via themore »« less

Realization of universal optimal quantum machines by projective operators and stochastic maps

Journal Article Sciarrino, F. ; Sias, C. ; Ricci, M. ; ... - Physical Review. A

Optimal quantum machines can be implemented by linear projective operations. In the present work a general qubit symmetrization theory is presented by investigating the close links to the qubit purification process and to the programmable teleportation of any generic optimal antiunitary map. In addition, the contextual realization of the N{yields}M cloning map and of the teleportation of the N{yields}(M-N) universal-NOT (UNOT) gate is analyzed by a very general angular momentum theory. An extended set of experimental realizations by state symmetrization linear optical procedures is reported. These include the 1{yields}2 cloning process, the UNOT gate and the quantum tomographic characterization ofmore »« less

Optimal combination of signals from colocated gravitational wave interferometers for use in searches for a stochastic background

Journal Article Lazzarini, Albert ; Reilly, Kaice ; Whitcomb, Stan ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

This article derives an optimal (i.e., unbiased, minimum variance) estimator for the pseudodetector strain for a pair of colocated gravitational wave interferometers (such as the pair of LIGO interferometers at its Hanford Observatory), allowing for possible instrumental correlations between the two detectors. The technique is robust and does not involve any assumptions or approximations regarding the relative strength of gravitational wave signals in the Hanford pair with respect to other sources of correlated instrumental or environmental noise. An expression is given for the effective power spectral density of the combined noise in the pseudodetector. This can then be introduced intomore »« less

Adaptive optimal stochastic state feedback control of resistive wall modes in tokamaks

Journal Article Sun, Z. ; Sen, A.K. ; Longman, R.W. ; ... - Physics of Plasmas

An adaptive optimal stochastic state feedback control is developed to stabilize the resistive wall mode (RWM) instability in tokamaks. The extended least-square method with exponential forgetting factor and covariance resetting is used to identify (experimentally determine) the time-varying stochastic system model. A Kalman filter is used to estimate the system states. The estimated system states are passed on to an optimal state feedback controller to construct control inputs. The Kalman filter and the optimal state feedback controller are periodically redesigned online based on the identified system model. This adaptive controller can stabilize the time-dependent RWM in a slowly evolving tokamakmore »« less
