Photon source

Soft X-ray absorption measurements are done at low-energy synchrotron X-ray facilities such as the UV ring at NSLS or the Advanced Photon Source (APS) at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). The beam size is typically 1 mm in diameter. The electron yield data are usually obtained in the total electron yield (EY) mode, measuring the current from a channel electron multiplier (Channeltron). Sometimes a voltage bias is applied to increase surface sensitivity. This is referred to as the partial electron yield (PEY) mode. Huorescence yield (EY) data are recorded using a windowless energy dispersive Si (Li) detector. The experiments are conducted in vacuum at a pressure of 2 X 10 torr. 

However, a nonzero background in the experiment always produces a small contribution from the detection events that fall in the central Nq peak. For example, a signal-to-background ratio of 7 leads to an Nc/Nl ratio of about 0.2. In the present case, an Nc/Nl ratio of 0.06 was determined. Hence, the Nc/Nl value also indicates that the present nanocrystal behaves as a single-photon source. 

In this section, we have demonstrated that a single organic dye nanocrystal comprised of many chromophores shows photon antibunching when the size is sufficiently small. The present results indicate that molecular assemblies can also be considered as candidates for new single-photon sources.

A photonic realization of qubit can be obtained through the polarization state of a photon or usingthe continuous phase and amplitude of a many-photon laser beam [5,48]. At first, the difficulty in achieving significant photon-photon interactions necessary for multi-qubit operations can be seen as a drawback of this proposal. However, it was demonstrated that scalable QC is possible using only linear optical circuits and single-photon sources and detectors [16]. The method (known as the KLM scheme for Knill, Laflamme and Milburn) [49] uses quantum interference with auxiliary photons at a beam splitter as the source of interactions, and has...

Bulk and micro-XAFS analyses were performed at the PNC-CAT s bending magnet (20-BM) and undulator (20-ID) beamlines of the Advanced Photon Source (APS), Argonne, IL, USA. Other microanalytical and mineralogical characterization studies were conducted at CANMET. Details of the methodology can be found in Paktunc (2008) and other publications by the author.
