Controlled remote implementation of partially unknown quantum operation

Abstract: A protocol for controlled remote implementation of a partially unknown operation on an arbitrary quantum state is proposed. In this protocol, a task can be performed using a GHZ state shared among three distant parties: Alice, Bob and the controller Charlie. This protocol is also generalized to the multi-party control system based on sharing an N-qubit GHZ state.

The role of natural resources, renewable energy, and globalization in testing EKC Theory in BRICS countries: Method of Moments Quantile.

Abstract: This paper aims to validate the EKC hypothesis for BRICS countries, in the presence of natural resources, renewable energy, and globalization factors. FMOLS, DOLS, Method of Moments Quantile Regression (MMQR), and heterogeneous panel causality tests have been applied on the BRICS panel from 1990 to 2014. According to FMOLS and DOLS techniques, the EKC hypothesis does exist in BRICS countries in the presence of alternative energy resources and globalization, whereas quantile level analysis does not support globalization as a significant factor for environmental degradation. Quantile regression validates the EKC hypothesis with a direct association of natural resources and inverse association of renewable energy with environmental degradation. Heterogeneous panel causality also confirms the bidirectional Granger causality between all the variables and CO2, except globalization, which means that panel causality is endorsing the results of MMQR. Thus, it is recommended to encourage the usage of renewable energy resources in BRICS countries.

Final consumer embedded carbon emissions and externalities: A case of Chinese consumers

Abstract: Traditional consumption-based approaches seek to embed emissions from industrial production into different categories of final demand, with or without capital formation endogenization. However, not many studies have considered estimating final consumer embedded emissions, which can be calculated by endogenizing all final demand categories except for final consumers. Endogenization refers to the process of converting a final demand category to an intermediate industrial producer. In addition, this lack of literature has also led to a lack of focus on final consumer embedded carbon externalities. Here the authors modify the input-output model to endogenize additional final demand categories and develop a method for presenting final consumer embedded net carbon externalities. The findings show that the endogenization of both capital formation and final imports increased the Chinese household carbon footprint by 33%. While endogenizing these two final demand categories increased the carbon footprint of the Chinese government by 14%. The Chinese government imposed net carbon externality on Chinese households by consuming products of thirteen different sectors. Urban households levied net carbon externality on rural households by end-use of all sectors. This presentation of final consumer embedded emissions provides the final consumer's actual carbon footprint from all sources. In addition, presenting net embedded carbon externalities can help develop a more effective and fair mechanism for assigning responsibility for embedded emissions between different types of end-users.
