Multi-level control of quantum coherence exponentially reduces communication and computation resources required for a variety of applications of quantum information science. However, it also introduces complex dynamics to be understood and controlled. These dynamics can be simplified and made intuitive by employing group theory to visualize certain four-level dynamics in a 'Bell frame' comprisi...

The integration of legacy and other disparate systems from a variety of vendors or developers has been seen as a major issue for information technology. This study reviews a major survey of financial executives and examines their views on aspects of systems integration. First, it was found that integration of disparate systems was viewed as an important issue in overall IT success. This impact ...

The controlled generation of entangled states and their subsequent detection are integral aspects of quantum information science. In this Letter, we implement a simple and precise technique that produces any of the four Bell states in the orbital angular momentum degree of freedom. We then use these states to perform the first experimental demonstration of an accessible nonlinear entanglement w...

We have studied the e!ects of two types of noise in simple model neurons with Hodgkin} Huxley voltage-gated channels. We have considered Gaussian noise currents, and Poissondistributed excitatory and inhibitory postsynaptic potentials. We determined the distribution of interspike intervals, and calculated its average, q ISI , and the coe$cient of variation (CV). The neuronal dynamics is analyze...

A variety of new organizational forms have emerged both presaging and in response to the netcentric economy. Common themes across these emerging organizational forms are identified in proposing an overarching characterization – the Designing Organization. Then, the constituent elements of the designing organization are characterized as well as its strategic logic. Next, the roles served by info...

Objectives Health information technology (IT) can assist healthcare providers in ordering medication and adhering to guidelines while improving communication among providers and the quality of care. However, the relationship between health IT and Case Mix Index (CMI) has not been thoroughly investigated; therefore, this study aimed to clarify this relationship. Methods To examine the effect o...

The resource-based view of the firm attributes superior firm performance to organizational resources that are valuable, rare, non-substitutable, and difficult to imitate. Aligned with this view, the authors contend that both information technology (IT) and knowledge management (KM) comprise critical organizational resources that contribute to superior firm performance. The authors also examine ...
