Item Open Access On erasure correction coding for streaming(IEEE, 2012) Tekin, Ömer Faruk; Ho, T.; Yao, H.; Jaggi, S.We consider packet erasure correction coding for a streaming system where specific information needs to be decoded by specific deadlines, in order to ensure uninterrupted playback at the receiver. In our previous work [1], we gave a capacity-achieving code construction for the case of a fixed number of erasures. In this work, we consider a sliding window erasure pattern where the number of erasures within windows of size above some threshold is upper bounded by a fraction of the window size, modeling a constraint on burstiness of the channel. We lower bound the rates achievable by our previous code construction as a fraction of the capacity region, which approaches to one as the window size threshold and the initial playout delay increase simultaneously.Item Open Access Quantum bistability, structural transformation, and spontaneous persistent currents in mesoscopic aharonov-bohm loops(World Scientific Publishing Co., 2005) Kulik, I. O.Fixed-number-of-electron mesoscopic or macromolecular conducting ring is shown to support persistent currents due to Aharonov-Bohm flux, and the "spontaneous" persistent currents without the flux when structural transformation in the ring is blocked by strong coupling to the externally azimuthal-symmetric environment. In the free-standing macromolecular ring, symmetry breaking removes the azimuthal periodicity which however is further restored at the increasing field. Three-site ring with one or three electrons represent an interesting quantum system which can serve as a qubit (quantum bit of information) and a qugate (quantum logical gate). © 2005 by World Scientific Publishing Co.
