Entropy Change in Reversible Processes01:10

Entropy Change in Reversible Processes

2.5K
In the Carnot engine, which achieves the maximum efficiency between two reservoirs of fixed temperatures, the total change in entropy is zero. The observation can be generalized by considering any reversible cyclic process consisting of many Carnot cycles. Thus, it can be stated that the total entropy change of any ideal reversible cycle is zero.
The statement can be further generalized to prove that entropy is a state function. Take a cyclic process between any two points on a p-V diagram.

Standard Entropy Change for a Reaction

20.3K
Entropy is a state function, so the standard entropy change for a chemical reaction (ΔS°rxn) can be calculated from the difference in standard entropy between the products and the reactants.

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation02:53

Conservative Site-specific Recombination and Phase Variation

6.0K
Because the DNA segments are cut and reorganized in a direction-specific manner, site-specific recombination has emerged as an efficient genetic engineering technique. Flippase and Cyclization recombinases or Flp and Cre, respectively, are two members of the tyrosine recombinase family derived from bacteriophages, that are used to mediate site-specific DNA insertions, deletions, and targeted expression of proteins in mammalian cell lines.
The recognition sites for Cre recombinase called LoxP...

BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems01:24

BIBO stability of continuous and discrete -time systems

386
System stability is a fundamental concept in signal processing, often assessed using convolution. For a system to be considered bounded-input bounded-output (BIBO) stable, any bounded input signal must produce a bounded output signal. A bounded input signal is one where the modulus does not exceed a certain constant at any point in time.
To determine the BIBO stability, the convolution integral is utilized when a bounded continuous-time input is applied to a Linear Time-Invariant (LTI) system....

Quantum Numbers

It is said that the energy of an electron in an atom is quantized; that is, it can be equal only to certain specific values and can jump from one energy level to another but not transition smoothly or stay between these levels.

Viral Recombination00:57

Viral Recombination

23.4K
Cells are sometimes infected by more than one virus at once. When two viruses disassemble to expose their genomes for replication in the same cell, similar regions of their genomes can pair together and exchange sequences in a process called recombination. Alternatively, viruses with segmented genomes can swap segments in a process called reassortment.

Area of Science:

  • Quantum Information Science
  • Quantum Cryptography
  • Free-Space Optics

Background:

  • Continuous Variable Quantum Key Distribution (CV-QKD) is a promising technology for secure communication.
  • Existing CV-QKD schemes often rely on authenticated public channels or classical free-space links for information reconciliation, which can limit performance and security.
  • Entanglement-based QKD offers enhanced security but requires efficient reconciliation strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel entanglement-based continuous variable quantum key distribution (CV-QKD) scheme.
  • To improve the performance and security of CV-QKD by performing information reconciliation over an entanglement-assisted link.
  • To evaluate the feasibility of the proposed scheme in realistic free-space optical conditions, including strong turbulence.

Main Methods:

  • Developed an entanglement-based CV-QKD protocol utilizing a single entanglement source for both raw key generation and information reconciliation.
  • Employed low-cost C-band devices for the entanglement source.
  • Implemented the scheme over a free-space optical testbed and incorporated adaptive optics to mitigate turbulence effects.

Main Results:

  • The proposed CV-QKD scheme with entanglement-assisted reconciliation significantly outperformed schemes using authenticated public channels or classical free-space links.
  • Experimental demonstration confirmed the system's operability in strong turbulence regimes.
  • Adaptive optics further improved the secret key rate performance.

Conclusions:

  • Entanglement-assisted information reconciliation offers a superior approach for CV-QKD systems.
  • The proposed low-cost, entanglement-based CV-QKD system is robust and performs well under challenging atmospheric conditions.
  • This work paves the way for more practical and secure free-space quantum communication networks.
