Surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) have recently been recognized as an important future technique for microelectronics. Such SPPs have been studied using classical theory. However, current state-of-the-art experiments are rapidly approaching nanoscales, and quantum effects can then become important. Here we study the properties of quantum SPPs at the interface between an electron quantum plasma ...

The underlying physics of nonconventional quantum plasmas has been introduced long ago. Analytical investigations of collective interactions between an ensemble of degenerate electrons in a dense quantum plasma dates back to early fifties. The general kinetic equations for quantum plasmas were derived and the dispersion properties of plasma waves were studied (Klimotovich & Silin, 1952). It was...

the rank-k numerical range has a close connection to the construction of quantum error correction code for a noisy quantum channel. for noisy quantum channel, a quantum error correcting code of dimension k exists if and only if the associated joint rank-k numerical range is non-empty. in this paper the notion of joint rank-k numerical range is generalized and some statements of [2011, generaliz...

quantum organizations are referred where stakeholders know how to access the infinite potential of the quantum field. viewing healthcare organizations from perspective of quantum theory suggest new approaches into management techniques for effective and efficient delivery of healthcare services. this research is aimed to determine the quantum skills, quantum leadership characteristics and funct...

Quantum dots are building blocks in emerging applications such as diagnostics, imaging, nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, and energy. Selective placement of colloidal quantum dots into large-area micro–nanopatterns, however, remains unresolved. We describe a nonconventional technique wherein selective plasma modification of a substrate guides self-assembly of colloidal quantum dots with features ...

Relativistic quantum plasma dispersion functions are defined and the longitudinal and transverse response functions for an electron (plus positron) gas are written in terms of them. The dispersion is separated into Landau-damping, paircreation and dissipationless regimes. Explicit forms are given for the RQPDFs in the cases of a completely degenerate distribution and a nondegenerate thermal (Jü...
