The quantum circuit is generalized to include non-unitary gates operated by quantum measurement, in order to reduce the number of the overhead of qubits required to ensure fault tolerance. A specific type of one-qubit non-unitary gates, together with the controlled-not gate and all one-qubit unitary gates, is shown to constitute a universal set of gates for the non-unitary quantum circuit. A re...

Owing to the exponential nature of the memory and run-time complexity, many methods can only synthesize 3-bit reversible circuits and cannot synthesize 4-bit reversible circuits well. We mainly absorb the ideas of our 3-bit synthesis algorithms based on hash table and present the efficient algorithms which can construct almost all optimal 4-bit reversible logic circuits with many types of gates...

The traditional retrieval models based on term matching are not effective in collections of degraded documents (output of OCR or ASR systems for instance). This paper presents a n-gram based distributed model for retrieval on degraded text large collections. Evaluation was carried out with both the TREC Confusion Track and Legal Track collections showing that the presented approach outperforms ...

By coating a thin layer of photosensitive polymer such as poly3-octylthiophene-2,5-diyl (P3OT), the Carbon Nanotube Field Effect Transistor (CNTFET) provides an optical gating phenomenon [1]. It is called Optical-Gated CNTFET (OG-CNTFET or OGCNTFET). Compared to the conventional CNTFET, the OG-CNTFET reveals a right hand shift of the drain current vs. gate bias voltage. If this device is under ...

In order to create polarization based entanglement networks of W4 state, we propose an optical setup, which uses only four horizontally polarized photons as resource which implies no entanglement requirement as a resource. This setup can generate target state deterministically, by operating several quantum optical gates, which can be realized with current photonics technology. The setup we prop...

We investigate an all-optical switch that is operated by the nonlinear phase-shift introduced by optical pulses with duration of 200 fs in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOAs). The gate is made out of a commercially available InGaAsP–InGaAs multi-quantum-well (MQW) SOA placed in a Mach–Zehnder interferometer. We have measured the nonlinear phase-shift as a function of the injection current ...

Reversible logic is emerged as a promising computing paradigm with applications in low-power CMOS, quantum computing, optical computing and nanotechnology. Optical logic gates become potential component to work at macroscopic (light pulses carry information), or quantum (single photon carries information) levels with high efficiency. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme of Hybrid new gate r...

Realization of chip-based all-optical and optoelectronic computational networks will require ultracompact Si-compatible modulators, ideally comprising dimensions, materials, and functionality similar to electronic complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) components. Here we demonstrate such a modulator, based on field-effect modulation of plasmon waveguide modes in a MOS geometry. Near-in...

We present a method for correcting coherence gate curvature caused by scanning-induced path length variations in spectral-domain high-NA optical coherence imaging systems. These variations cause curvature artifacts in optical coherence tomography and effectively restrict the field of view in optical coherence microscopy (OCM). Here we show that the coherence gate curvature can be measured and c...
