TL;DR: This work introduces quantum dot-based sources of polarization-entangled photons whose energy can be tuned via three-directional strain engineering without degrading the degree of entanglement of the photon pairs.
Abstract: The prospect of using the quantum nature of light for secure communication keeps spurring the search and investigation of suitable sources of entangled photons. A single semiconductor quantum dot is one of the most attractive, as it can generate indistinguishable entangled photons deterministically and is compatible with current photonic-integration technologies. However, the lack of control over the energy of the entangled photons is hampering the exploitation of dissimilar quantum dots in protocols requiring the teleportation of quantum entanglement over remote locations. Here we introduce quantum dot-based sources of polarization-entangled photons whose energy can be tuned via three-directional strain engineering without degrading the degree of entanglement of the photon pairs. As a test-bench for quantum communication, we interface quantum dots with clouds of atomic vapours, and we demonstrate slow-entangled photons from a single quantum emitter. These results pave the way towards the implementation of hybrid quantum networks where entanglement is distributed among distant parties using optoelectronic devices.

25 Mar 2012TL;DR: A new approach for polyphonic piano note onset transcription based on a recurrent neural network to simultaneously detect the onsets and the pitches of the notes from spectral features and generalizes much better than existing systems.
Abstract: In this paper a new approach for polyphonic piano note onset transcription is presented. It is based on a recurrent neural network to simultaneously detect the onsets and the pitches of the notes from spectral features. Long Short-Term Memory units are used in a bidirectional neural network to model the context of the notes. The use of a single regression output layer instead of the often used one-versus-all classification approach enables the system to significantly lower the number of erroneous note detections. Evaluation is based on common test sets and shows exceptional temporal precision combined with a significant boost in note transcription performance compared to current state-of-the-art approaches. The system is trained jointly with various synthesized piano instruments and real piano recordings and thus generalizes much better than existing systems.

29 Sep 2014TL;DR: Extraction and composition for clone-and-own (ECO) as mentioned in this paper is an approach to enhance clone and-own that actively supports the development and maintenance of software product variants, where a software engineer selects the desired features and finds the proper software artifacts to reuse and then provides guidance during the manual completion by hinting which software artifacts may need adaptation.
Abstract: To keep pace with the increasing demand for custom-tailored software systems, companies often apply a practice called clone-and-own, whereby a new variant of a software system is built by coping and adapting existing variants. Instead of a single and configurable system, clone-and-own leads to ad hoc product portfolios of multiple yet similar variants that soon become impossible to maintain effectively. Clone-and-own has widespread industrial use because it requires no major upfront investments and is intuitive, but it lacks a methodology for systematic reuse. In this work we propose ECCO (Extraction and Composition for Clone-and-Own), a novel approach to enhance clone and-own that actively supports the development and maintenance of software product variants. A software engineer selects the desired features and ECCO finds the proper software artifacts to reuse and then provides guidance during the manual completion by hinting which software artifacts may need adaptation. We evaluated our approach on 6 case studies, covering 402 variants having up to 344KLOC, and found that precision and recall of composed products quickly reach a near optimum (>95% reuse).

TL;DR: Numerical simulations of the graded photonic crystal based Luneburg lens and electromagnetic beam bend show that the homogenization based on Maxwell-Garnett theory gives very good results for implementation of devices intended to steer and focus electromagnetic fields.
Abstract: Engineering of a refractive index profile is a powerful method for controlling electromagnetic fields. In this paper, we investigate possible realization of isotropic gradient refractive index media at optical frequencies using two-dimensional graded photonic crystals. They consist of dielectric rods with spatially varying radii and can be homogenized in broad frequency range within the lowest band. Here they operate in metamaterial regime, that is, the graded photonic crystals are described with spatially varying effective refractive index so they can be regarded as low-loss and broadband graded dielectric metamaterials. Homogenization of graded photonic crystals is done with Maxwell-Garnett effective medium theory. Based on this theory, the analytical formulas are given for calculations of the rods radii which makes the implementation straightforward. The frequency range where homogenization is valid and where graded photonic crystal based devices work properly is discussed in detail. Numerical simulations of the graded photonic crystal based Luneburg lens and electromagnetic beam bend show that the homogenization based on Maxwell-Garnett theory gives very good results for implementation of devices intended to steer and focus electromagnetic fields.
