An electrothermal model is used to perform a theoretical analysis of the operation of a superconducting detector based on a strip of micrometer width and having photon number resolution. Configurations with series and parallel connections of detector sections are investigated. It is established that when such microstrips are used, a series connection of sections is better in terms of the number of simultaneously resolved photons and the amplitude of the response from a superconductor detector.

The enigmatic puzzle of the Verwey transition in magnetite Fe3O4 has been unresolved for almost a century. We present an ab initio-based model of the polaron transport combining kinetic Monte Carlo and molecular dynamics calculations to directly describe the coupling of polarons with lattice vibrations. Contrary to the Ihle-Lorenz small-polaron model, we find no significant ...

The effects of dislocations on the mobility of gas nanobubbles pinned to them are considered as novel unex- plored mechanisms of accelerated fission gas release and investigated using classical molecular dynamics of helium bubbles in FCC aluminum. Non-equilibrium methods are developed to calculate the mobility of a pinned bubble both along and across the dislocation ...

We develop a new three-party quantum secret-sharing (QSS) protocol based on a three-qubit W state. This protocol encodes the secret-sequence bits using X gates and employs randomly selected Hadamard operations and measurement bases to generate information and security-test rounds. We evaluate the efficiency of the proposed protocol and analyze its security against an internal adversary ...

We analytically consider the problem of the Langmuir instability. The instability describes emergence of transverse modulation of horizontal current with vertical shear, when it is superimposed on surface wave co-directional with the flow. Compared to the Craik–Leibovich scheme, we account for the scattering of surface wave on the modulated current, which is significant if the ...

Understanding the properties of two-dimensional material interfaces with the substrate is necessary for device applications. Surface acoustic wave propagation through a layered material flake on a substrate could provide unique information on the transverse rigidity of the flake-to-substrate interaction. Ultrasonic waves were generated by a focused femtosecond laser pulse at the surface of a model ...

We develop a three-mode statistical-mechanical theory for a two-conformer
solute in a near-critical solvent. A compressible lattice model with
vacancies yields the Gaussian free-energy functional for a critical conserved
density, an orthogonal noncritical conserved mode, and the local conformer
fraction. Their couplings follow from packing and cohesive interactions,
rather than being introduced phenomenologically. Kawasaki transport of the
two conserved fields and ...

The planar microcavity structure was grown using molecular-beam epitaxy.
Single-mode lasing was observed at a wavelength of 960 nm for pillars with a diameter of
15 μm. At 300 K, the lasing threshold was approximately 30 mW. Increasing the pump
power to 2.7 times the threshold power resulted in a mode energy shift of approximately
1 meV. This shift ...

We examine plasma excitations with linear dispersion in a system of superconducting electrons in thin
NbN disks. Using frequency-domain terahertz spectroscopy, we study the evolution of plasmons up to critical

We demonstrate a thermo-optically tunable microlaser based on an InGaAs/GaAs quantum-dot (QD) active region employing a deformed limaçon-shaped cavity. The asymmetric geometry effectively lifts the degeneracy of high-Q whispering-gallery modes, enabling single-mode lasing. A side-mode suppression ratio exceeds 25 dB over a wide current range. Under continuous-wave electrical pumping, the device achieves a peak output power ...

Exact theories of electrolyte structure must satisfy the nonlocal constraints imposed by electrostatic screening, yet these constraints are most commonly formulated only for homogeneous bulk systems and at the level of two-point correlations. Here, we develop a unified field-theoretic framework that extends them to general inhomogeneous ionic fluids and nonlinear charge correlations. Using a standard ...

We study the response function of a superconducting single-contact interferometer (quantron or rf-SQUID), which is the building block for adiabatic neuron with a nonlinear transfer characteristic. It is shown that the intrinsic shunt capacitance of the junction leads to distortions in the response function. At the same time the contact resistance leads to the suppression ...

Abstract—Superconducting nanowire single photon detectors (SNSPD) functionality is based on the local suppression of the su- perconducting order parameter upon photon absorption, causing a change in resistance which can be detected as a DC voltage pulse. Finding the size and the profile of the superconducting order pa- rameter suppression area (the so-called “hot-spot”) experimentally is ...

High sensitivity imaging at the level of single photons is an invaluable tool in many areas, ranging from microscopy to astronomy. However, development of single-photon sensitive detectors with high spatial resolution is very non-trivial. Here we employ the singlepixel imaging approach and demonstrate a proof-of-principle single-pixel single-photon imaging setup. We overcome the problem of low ...
