Orbital angular momentum of light and the transformation of Laguerre-Gaussian laser modes

L. Allen, Marco W. Beijersbergen, R. J. C. Spreeuw et al. · 1 Jun 1992

Laser light with a Laguerre-Gaussian amplitude distribution is found to have a well-defined orbital angular momentum. An astigmatic optical system may be used to transform a high-order Laguerre-Gaussian mode into a high-order Hermite-Gaussian mode reversibly. An experiment is proposed to measure the mechanical torque induced by the transfer of orbital angular momentum associated with such…

Quantum computation with quantum dots

Daniel Loss, David P. DiVincenzo · 1 Jan 1998

We propose an implementation of a universal set of one- and two-quantum-bit gates for quantum computation using the spin states of coupled single-electron quantum dots. Desired operations are effected by the gating of the tunneling barrier between neighboring dots. Several measures of the gate quality are computed within a recently derived spin master equation incorporating…

Mixed-state entanglement and quantum error correction

Charles H. Bennett, David P. DiVincenzo, John A. Smolin et al. · 1 Nov 1996

Entanglement purification protocols (EPPs) and quantum error-correcting codes (QECCs) provide two ways of protecting quantum states from interaction with the environment. In an EPP, perfectly entangled pure states are extracted, with some yield D, from a mixed state M shared by two parties; with a QECC, an arbitrary quantum state |\ensuremath{\xi}〉 can be transmitted at…

Computable measure of entanglement

Guifré Vidal, Reinhard F. Werner · 22 Feb 2002

We present a measure of entanglement that can be computed effectively for any mixed state of an arbitrary bipartite system. We show that it does not increase under local manipulations of the system, and use it to obtain a bound on the teleportation capacity and on the distillable entanglement of mixed states.

Scheme for reducing decoherence in quantum computer memory

Peter W. Shor · 1 Oct 1995

Recently, it was realized that use of the properties of quantum mechanics might speed up certain computations dramatically. Interest has since been growing in the area of quantum computation. One of the main difficulties of quantum computation is that decoherence destroys the information in a superposition of states contained in a quantum computer, thus making…

Physical Review A template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Physical Review A format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Physical Review A template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Physical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Physical Review A use?
Physical Review A uses Numbered (APS) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, Physical Review A 12, 45 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Physical Review A?
No. DocuGuru generates the revtex4-2 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Physical Society-ready Physical Review A document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Physical Review A template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Physical Review A format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Physical Review A?
APS Physical Review A. It is a physics journal, published by American Physical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready Physical Review A PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Physical Review A template (the revtex4-2 class) that is ready to submit to American Physical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Physical Review A template cost?
You can start writing in the Physical Review A template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Physical Review A PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
