Electrochemical and Quantum Chemical Study of Vanillin as a Green Corrosion Inhibitor for AA6061 in NaCl Solution
The effect of vanillin on the corrosion behavior of AA6061 Al alloy in 3.5% NaCl solution wasinvestigated using potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical noise (EN) techniques. Vanillinoffers interesting possibilities for corrosion inhibition due to its nontoxicity and high solubility inaqueous media. The best inhibition effect at 200 ppm vanillin was a marked characteristic of theinhibi...
متن کاملبررسی ویژگیهای قدرت خط و نیروی نوسانگر اتمهای نقره و طلا با استفاده از نظریه تقریب کولنی
Single-valence electron atoms are an important class of atoms. Their oscillator strengths are their important properties. Knowing the oscillator strengths one can easity calculate the transition probabilities of the spectral lines and hence the lifetimes of energy levels of most atoms. The oscillator strengths of the spectral lines of most atoms are not knoen with sufficient accuracy due to t...
متن کاملTwo-qubit Projective Measurements are Universal for Quantum Computation
Nielsen showed in quant-ph/0108020 that universal quantum computation can be performed using projective measurements, quantum memory, and preparation of the |0〉 state. Furthermore, 4-qubit measurements are sufficient. Fenner and Zhang showed in quant-ph/0111077 that 3-qubit measurements are sufficient. We prove that 2-qubit measurements are sufficient, closing the gap between the upper and lowe...
متن کاملQuantum feedback with weak measurements
The problem of feedback control of quantum systems by means of weak measurements is investigated in detail. When weak measurements are made on a set of identical quantum systems, the single-system density matrix can be determined to a high degree of accuracy while affecting each system only slightly. If this information is fed back into the systems by coherent operations, the single-system dens...
متن کاملQuantum Zeno effects with “pulsed” and “continuous” measurements
The dynamics of a quantum system undergoing measurements is investigated. Depending on the features of the interaction Hamiltonian, the decay can be slowed (quantum Zeno effect) or accelerated (inverse quantum Zeno effect), by changing the time interval between successive (pulsed) measurements or, alternatively, by varying the “strength” of the (continuous) measurement.
متن کاملUniversal quantum computation with two- and three-qubit projective measurements
We present a finite set of projective measurements that, together with quantum memory and preparation of the |0〉 state, suffice for universal quantum computation. This extends work of Nielsen [Nie01], who proposed a scheme in which an arbitrary unitary operation on n qubits can be simulated using only projective measurements on at most 2n qubits. All measurements in our set involve two qubits, ...
