  • In this paper a new theory is presented to treat the problem of stimulated absorption and emission of photons between energy levels from the standpoint of discrete quantum jumps. In order to implement the theory a scheme to avoid the quantum Zeno effect is proposed. Numerical simulations are performed to demonstrate that this approach does not contradict the principles of the standard wave mechanics. It is shown that with this approach one can obtain photon observation statistics as well.

  • The epilayer of vertically stacked, self-assembled InAs Quantum Dots (QDs)was grown by MBE with solid sources in non-cracking K-cells, and the sample was fabricated to a FET structure using a conventional technology. The device characteristic and performance were studied. At 77K and room temperature, the threshold voltage shift values are 0.75V and 0.35 V, which are caused by the trapping and detrapping of electrons in the quantum dots. Discharging and charging curves form the part of a hysteresis loop to exhibit memory function. The electrical injection of confined electrons in QDs products the threshold voltage shift and memory function with the persistent electron trapping, which shows the potential use for a room temperature application.

  • The 1+1 two-photon Resonant Enhanced Multiphoton Ionization (REMPI) spectra of 1,4-dichlorobenzene was obtained from 240 nm through to 250 nm on a laser mass spectrometer. Special care was taken to build up a heatable sample inlet system suitable for detecting a trace semi-volatile organic compound and reducing the memory effort on the inner wall of the inlet system. The detection limits of 1,4-dichlorobenzene in ppbV/V concentration range at certain wavelengths are presented.

  • For the last 20 years, our country has been pointing to a great power for digital information technology, but quantum information technology which is already researched in many forefront nations lags significantly behind other countries. Recently, quantum information management, quantum computing and quantum communication based on the quantum mechanics have been researching actively in many fields such as cryptology. On the basis of these background, in this paper, to efficient data transmission and detection for quantum data, we apply the orthogonal sequence to quantum communication system. The performance of proposed scheme is analyzed in terms of auto and cross correlation performance.

  • In quantum cryptographic communication based on quantum mechanics, each piece of information is loaded onto individual photons and transmitted. Therefore, it is impossible to eavesdrop on only a part, and even if an intruder illegally intercepts a photon and retransmits it to the recipient, it is impossible to send the same information to the photon by the principle of quantum duplication impossible. With the explosive increase of various network-based services, the security of the service is required to be guaranteed, and the establishment of a quantum cryptographic communication network and related services are being promoted in various forms. However, apart from the development of Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) technology, a lot of research is needed on how to provide network-level services using this. In this paper, based on the quantum encryption device, we propose an integrated data structure for transferring quantum keys between various quantum encryption communication network devices and realizing an encrypted transmission environment.

  • Recently, researches for quantum computers have been carried out in various fields. Quantum computers performs calculations by utilizing various phenomena and characteristics of quantum mechanics such as quantum entanglement and quantum superposition, thus it is a very complex calculation process compared to classical computers used in the past. In order to simulate a quantum computer, many factors and parameters of a quantum computer need to be analyzed, for example, error verification, optimization, and reliability verification. Therefore, it is necessary to visualize circuits that can intuitively simulate the configuration of the quantum computer components. In this paper, we present a novel visualization method for designing complex quantum computer system, and attempt to create a 3D visualization toolkit to deploy large circuits, provide help a new way to design large-scale quantum computing systems that can be built into future computing systems.

  • Lead sulfide (PbS) nanocrystal quantum dots (NQDs) are promising materials for various optoelectronic devices, especially solar cells, because of their tunability of the optical band-gap controlled by adjusting the diameter of NQDs. PbS is a IV-VI semiconductor enabling infrared-absorption and it can be synthesized using solution process methods. A wide choice of the diameter of PbS NQDs is also a benefit to achieve the quantum confinement regime due to its large Bohr exciton radius (20 nm). To exploit these desirable properties, many research groups have intensively studied to apply for the photovoltaic devices. There are several essential requirements to fabricate the efficient NQDs-based solar cell. First of all, highly confined PbS QDs should be synthesized resulting in a narrow peak with a small full width-half maximum value at the first exciton transition observed in UV-Vis absorbance and photoluminescence spectra. In other words, the size-uniformity of NQDs ought to secure under 5%. Second, PbS NQDs should be assembled carefully in order to enhance the electronic coupling between adjacent NQDs by controlling the inter-QDs distance. Finally, appropriate structure for the photovoltaic device is the key issue to extract the photo-generated carriers from light-absorbing layer in solar cell. In this step, workfunction and Fermi energy difference could be precisely considered for Schottky and hetero junction device, respectively. In this presentation, we introduce the strategy to obtain high performance solar cell fabricated using PbS NQDs below the size of the Bohr radius. The PbS NQDs with various diameters were synthesized using methods established by Hines with a few modifications. PbS NQDs solids were assembled using layer-by-layer spin-coating method. Subsequent ligand-exchange was carried out using 1,2-ethanedithiol (EDT) to reduce inter-NQDs distance. Finally, Schottky junction solar cells were fabricated on ITO-coated glass and 150 nm-thick Al was deposited on the top of PbS NQDs solids as a top electrode using thermal evaporation technique. To evaluate the solar cell performance, current-voltage (I-V) measurement were performed under AM 1.5G solar spectrum at 1 sun intensity. As a result, we could achieve the power conversion efficiency of 3.33% at Schottky junction solar cell. This result indicates that high performance solar cell is successfully fabricated by optimizing the all steps as mentioned above in this work.

  • A quantum computer, based on quantum mechanics, is a paradigm of information processing that can show remarkable possibilities of exponentially improved information processing. This paradigm can be solved in a short time by calculating factoring problem and discrete logarithm problem that are typically used in public key cryptosystems such as RSA(Rivest-Shamir-Adleman) and ECC(Elliptic Curve Cryptography). In 2013, Lei et al. proposed a secure NTRU-based key distribution protocol for quantum computing. However, Lei et al. protocol was vulnerable to man-in-the-middle attacks. In this paper, we propose a NTRU(N-the truncated polynomial ring) key distribution protocol with mutual authentication only using NTRU convolution multiplication operation in order to maintain the security for quantum computing. The proposed protocol is resistant to quantum computing attacks. It is also provided a secure key distribution from various attacks such as man-in-the middle attack and replay attack.
