The first ‎section discusses the theoretical model of the interaction between a two-mode cavity-field and an ‎effective two-level atom within the framework of an f-DJCM without the rotating wave ‎approximation. After that, we obtain the reduced density matrix of the cavity-field with and without ‎the rotating-wave approximation. Then, we have investigated the effect of the counter-rotating ‎terms on temporal evolution of various non-classical properties of the cavity-field, i.e., photon-‎counting statistics, the cross correlation between the modes of the field, and the quantum ‎fluctuations of the quadrature components. Particularly, we compare the numerical result for three ‎different values of the deformation parameter q (q=1, q=1.1, q=0.9) with and without applying the rotating ‎wave approximation. By using of the numerical method, we concluded that even under the ‎condition in which the RWA is considered to be valid, there are the significant effects of virtual-‎photon field on the photon-counting statistics, the cross correlation between the modes of the ‎field, and the quantum fluctuations of the quadrature components‎.

This theoretical consideration is done by using the linear scaled wave equation proposed in the framework of Caldirola-Kanai theory for the continuous quantum-classical transition. Two simple but physically important and interesting examples are studied, sudden release from a shutter where transient behaviors (diffraction in time) are seen; and also transmission through a time-dependent parabolic barrier where early-arrival is seen. Calculations show that diffraction in time is a non-classical effect and temporary behaviors are gradually suppressed as the friction increases. Furthermore, early-arrival is seen even in the classical regime. This means that early-arrival is not a non-classical phenomenon. This behavior will be explained by means of scaled trajectories which are just Bohmian trajectories in the quantum regime.

In this model, confinement is attributed to the group's non-trivial centers. The non-trivial centers of the gauge group are also the reason of the presence of vortices. Vortices are point-like soliton structures in two dimensions and line like in three dimensions. In this model we need the diagonal generators of the group representations to calculate and plot a quark potential diagram in different representation. It is common to use the tensor method to calculate these diagonal generators, which requires a lot of calculations. In this paper after introducing the thick center vortex model the tensor method is introduced. Then the concept of root and weight diagram in Lie groups is introduced. Using the root and weight diagram an efficient and simple method for calculating the diagonal generators of group representations is presented.

Quantum espresso software, which is an open source computing code, has been used in order to compute the kohn-Sham equations to obtain the minimum total energy of crystal. The vibrational spectrum of the thorium dioxide was examined along various symmetrical directions, and the results showed the dynamical stability of the crystal system. The quasi-harmonic Debye-Einstein model as implemented in GIBBS2 Code was used to calculate the thermodynamic properties of thorium dioxide at high temperatures and pressures. The simulation results showed that the Debye temperature of thorium dioxide decreased with increasing temperature at a constant pressure and increased with increasing pressure at a constant temperature. Increasing the Debye temperature indicated an increase in the crystal stiffness and the average sound velocity.

The nano water droplet in the ‎oil medium is prepared by a combination of hexane and surfactant water, which is painted inside ‎the drop by Eosin-B. The droplet size was studied on a nonlinear refractive index using a 532 nm ‎laser with a scanning power of 80 mW. The results show that the surface effects on the nano-‎droplets cause the droplets to have a larger nonlinear refractive index. This change was due to a ‎decrease in the accumulation of dyes inside the droplet as well as a decrease in the polarity of the ‎drop solvent relative to the water solvent. group Eosin-B nonlinear optics Z- scan. nonlinear refractive index

The behavior of the atom-cavity system is delineated by the master equation which in order to solve this equation, a set of expected values of a series of operators has been used. To numerically solve this set of coupled expectation values, the matrix continued fractions method is used. How the changes of the physical quantities including the atomic population inversion, mean photon number and second-order correlation function have been studied for any transition. Finally, the process of converting the four-level atom to a three-level one under several specific conditions is discussed for each transition.

In this article, we introduce these ladder operators for a movement particle on the circle and 2-dimensional sphere by Berezin’s quantization .This approach is derived from the resolution of the unity condition in coherent states. In other words, the coherent states provide a straight forward quantization scheme from a classical state to corresponding quantum state. In this article, we study the coherent states of these systems from heat kernel function point of view.

Single-cycle, dual-bandwidth signals are generated at the time of the Picosecond pulse, and the small ring amplifier is modulated with square and Gaussian electric pulses, respectively. Microwave photonic systems that work with large optical components suffer from large size, high energy consumption, high cost, and vulnerability to environmental disturbances. Therefore, it is highly desirable to assemble the microwave photonic system on a single chip to make it more compact, cheap, and low-consumption. They have a low spectrum. One of its applications is in short-range wireless telecommunications and high power for wireless transmission of large multimedia data. It can also be used in low speed and power mode for IoT applications such as precision internal positioning. Unlike the WiFi or Bluetooth distance estimation, which is based on signal intensity, the bandwidth signal has a very narrow pulse width, similar to the radar pulse, which enables it to estimate the position using pulse forward time and 10 cm accuracy. With an intensified modulator based on silicon photonics, one can very hopefully generate an adjustable microwave signal on the chip. - In this paper, a method for generating transverse band (UWB) pulses, the basis of which is a large-scale interferometer with a resonator of small silicone rings capable of changing paired configuration, is reported.

Among the models describing the thermoluminescence phenomenon, the mixed order kinetic model provides a more realistic description of this behavior. In this work, the Thermal quenching effect is included in the mixed order kinetic model and the new thermoluminescence glow curve deconvolution function is obtained in terms of the maximum intensity and the maximum intensity temperature. The new equation reduces to the known mixed order model by equating the thermal quenching parameter to zero. Also the kinetic parameters of the peak 5 of LiF: Mg, Ti (TLD-100) thermoluminescence dosimeter considering the new equation (with Thermal quenching effect) and the previous equation (without Thermal quenching effect) for different heating rates are determined and the results are compared.

Liquid scintillation counting technique is one of the best methods for simultaneously measuring alpha and beta-particle-emitting in water. In this technique, due to the overlap of spectra of alpha and beta, evaluation of the alpha and beta interference and the appropriate PSA value is very important for sample counting rate. The purpose of this work is to measure the activity concentration of gross alpha and beta in bottled water and compare them with the allowable limit and international standards. To achieve the goal of this research, the work was carried out in two phases. In phase 1, the alpha and beta interference and the appropriate PSA are obtained using two standard solutions of americium-241 and strontium-90 with activity of 21 and 40 Bq. In phase 2, The 10 bottled drinking water samples from different brands are analyzed using LSC. The results of the sample counting showed appropriate PSA value of 110 for the measurement of gross alpha and gross beta radioactivity in water. The measurement results showed that the gross alpha and beta activity concentrations were 41-62 mBqL-1 and 57-85 mBqL-1 which are below the allowable limit by comparing the standard limits.
