This study integrates colorimetry and computation by identifying their commonalities to develop a novel encryption system centered around color, specifically using QR codes. We propose an approach that multiplexes QR codes of varying colors, each containing distinct information. A key is generated to encapsulate user-specific data and identify the QR code with authentic information. We develop serverless architectures to facilitate rapid encryption and decryption processes. The system’s performance and efficiency are evaluated through two architectures: a sequential system implemented on Google Colab and a distributed system utilizing AWS Lambda serverless architecture. Metrics such as NPCR (Number of Pixels Change Rate), UACI (Unified Average Changing Intensity) and key space analysis, indicative of the system’s robustness, are analyzed according to existing literature. In addition, the cost of this serverless technology is evaluated in comparison to cloud and local. Our findings demonstrate that the serverless architecture offers a viable and efficient solution for coding. The implications of this research extend across various sectors, including defense, healthcare, and everyday digital interactions, presenting a scalable and secure alternative for data encryption and communication.

Aerosol–cloud–precipitation interactions are important in the balance of Earth’s radiation budget. To further explore the relationship between clouds and precipitation, and to improve operational weather modification, it is necessary to study the microphysical parameters of liquid water clouds. Here, an inversion method that uses a back propagation (BP) neural network based on a genetic algorithm (GA), namely a GABP, is proposed to invert cloud microphysical parameters using ground-based dual-field-of-view (FOV) Raman lidar data. To verify the feasibility of the method, long-term continuous observations were conducted in the Liupan Mountains (China). Results revealed that the proposed inversion method using the GABP is feasible for retrieving the liquid water content (LWC) and the cloud droplet effective radius after training a large number of data measured simultaneously by the Raman lidar and a microwave radiometer. When inverting LWC, the root mean square error (RMSE) of the GABP algorithm was found in the range 0–0.005, whereas the RMSE of the BP algorithm fluctuated in the range 0–0.01. It was evident that the GABP algorithm yields better inversion results and finer detail. When maintaining other variables and comparing the inversion results of signals in the inner and outer FOVs, the RMSE of the inner FOV signal was within 0.005 at near-ground heights (i.e., <2 km), whereas the outer FOV signal exceeded 0.005 at certain heights. This study developed a feasible solution for detecting characteristic cloud microphysical parameters using a Raman lidar, which could be used to study aerosol–cloud–precipitation interactions, and thereby have considerable practical importance for improving artificial rainfall operations.

Motivated by the structure of the Swanson oscillator which is a well-known example of a non-Hermitian quantum system consisting of a general representation of a quadratic Hamiltonian, we propose a fermionic extension of such a scheme which incorporates two fermionic oscillators together with bilinear-coupling terms that do not conserve particle number. We determine the eigenvalues and eigenvectors, and expose the appearance of exceptional points where two of the eigenstates coalesce with the corresponding eigenvectors exhibiting self-orthogonality with respect to the bi-orthogonal inner product. The model admits a quantum phase transition—we discuss the two phases and also demonstrate that the ground-state entanglement entropy exhibits a discontinuous jump indicating the transition between the two phases.

In recent years, there has been a growing interest in bound states in the continuum (BIC) in metasurfaces. One particular area of focus is achieving high-quality (Q) factor resonance, as this is crucial for enhancing the performance of refractive index sensors. In this study, a graphene-dielectric hybrid metasurface that supports the bound states in the continuum is proposed. By varying the width of the dielectric rectangle, quasi-BIC resonances with a high Q factor can be excited, and the Q factor can reach 752724.95 and 272004.759 respectively. The analysis of multipole decomposition reveals that the two quasi-BIC resonances are predominantly influenced by the electric quadrupole and magnetic dipole, respectively. Moreover, the transmittance of the resonance point can be changed rapidly with the change of the chemical potential of graphene, so the function of modulation can be realized by changing the chemical potential of graphene. Based on these findings, we have designed a terahertz wave modulator, which exhibits modulation depths of 98.1% and 99.9% at the two resonance peaks, respectively. The corresponding chemical potential shifts are 50 meV and 0.5 eV. Additionally, we have investigated the sensing performance of the metasurface. By analyzing the magnitude of the frequency shifts of the quasi-BIC resonance peaks at different gas refractive indexes, we have determined sensitivities of 740 GHz RIU−1 and 630 GHz RIU−1 at the two resonance peaks. The maximum figure of merit (FOM) values are 132911.39 RIU−1 and 45000 RIU−1, respectively. This research serves as a valuable reference for the design of dynamic optical modulators and sensors operating in the terahertz band.

Bell non-locality is closely related with device independent quantum randomness. In this paper, we present a kind of sum-of-squares (SOS) decomposition for general Bell inequalities in two qubits systems. By using the obtained SOS decomposition, we can then find the measurement operators associated with the maximal violation of considered Bell inequality. We also practice the SOS decomposition method by considering the (generalized) Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) Bell inequality, the Elegant Bell inequality, the Gisin inequality and the Chained Bell inequality as examples. The corresponding SOS decompositions and the measurement operators that cause the maximum violation values of these Bell inequalities are derived, which are consistent with previous results. We further discuss the device independent quantum randomness by using the SOS decompositions of Bell inequalities. We take the generalized CHSH inequality with the maximally entangled state and the Werner state that attaining the maximal violations as examples. Exact value or lower bound on the maximal guessing probability using the SOS decomposition are obtained. For Werner state, the lower bound can supply a much precise estimation of quantum randomness when p tends to 1.
贝尔非位置性与器件独立量子随机性密切相关。本文提出了一种针对双量子比特系统中一般贝尔不等式的平方和（SOS）分解。利用得到的 SOS 分解，我们可以找到与所考虑的贝尔不等式的最大违反相关的测量算子。我们还通过考虑（广义）克劳瑟-霍恩-希莫尼-霍尔特（CHSH）贝尔不等式、高雅贝尔不等式、吉辛不等式和链式贝尔不等式作为例子来实践 SOS 分解方法。我们推导出了相应的 SOS 分解和导致这些贝尔不等式最大违反值的测量算子，这与之前的结果是一致的。我们利用贝尔不等式的 SOS 分解进一步讨论了与设备无关的量子随机性。我们以最大纠缠态的广义 CHSH 不等式和达到最大违反值的维尔纳态为例。我们利用 SOS 分解得到了最大猜测概率的精确值或下限。对于维尔纳态，当 p 趋于 1 时，下界可以提供量子随机性的更精确估计。

In this research article, a wide-angle scanning leaky-wave antenna (LWA) based on the composite right/left-handed (CRLH) metamaterial (MTM) operating over the C-band spectrum for mobile applications is proposed, investigated, and realized. The proposed LWA includes nine CRLH-MTM-based unit-cells. The properties of CRLH-MTM have been applied using series slots and shunt metallic via-holes. Each unit cell consists of three patches, two external patches, and one smaller middle patch implemented between them. One slot has been etched on each external patch; the width of these two slots is unequal. Moreover, the distance of the middle patch with each side patch is different. The results show that using this method of realizing non-identical elements caused the achievement of proper return-loss at the transition frequency and provided the balanced CRLH metamaterial condition. Additionally, using CRLH-MTM properties by realizing series capacitance (slot) and shunt inductance (via-holes) made the wide-angle scant from backward to forward radiation pattern. The results demonstrate that the LW antenna with small dimensions of 251.5 × 30 × 1.575 mm3 operates over a frequency range of 4.8–6.13 GHz covering a wide beam scanning range from to with broadside radiation at the center frequency of 5.46 GHz. The radiation gain of the proposed antenna varies from 6.2–13.1 dB. The achievements confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methods to realize a high-performance LW-antenna with the advantages of simple design, low profile, low cost, and easy of manufacture for mobile applications.

A -symmetric, non-Hermitian Hamiltonian in the -unbroken regime can lead to unitary dynamics under the appropriate choice of the Hilbert space. The Hilbert space is determined by a Hamiltonian-compatible inner product map on the underlying vector space, facilitated by a ‘metric operator’. A more traditional method, however, involves treating the evolution as open system dynamics, and the state is constructed through normalization at each time step. In this work, we present a comparative study of the two methods of constructing the reduced dynamics of a system evolving under a -symmetric Hamiltonian. Our system is a one-dimensional quantum walk with the spin and position degrees of freedom forming its two subsystems. We compare the information flow between the subsystems under the two methods. We find that under the metric formalism, a power law decay of the information backflow to the subsystem gives a clear indication of the transition from -unbroken to the broken phase. This is unlike the information backflow under the normalized state method. We also note that even though non-Hermiticity models open system dynamics, pseudo-Hermiticity can increase entanglement between the subsystem in the metric Hilbert space, thus indicating that pseudo-Hermiticity cases can be seen as a resource in quantum mechanics.

Conventional resonant structures can be effective in obtaining broadband, but it is still a challenge to design small-sized and lightweight acoustic metamaterials with a low-frequency ultra-wideband. This paper proposes a new approach of designing a lightweight spherical localized resonance superstructure with adjustable stiffness ratio, and the mechanism of adjusting the low-frequency ultra-wide forbidden band is revealed. Then, the correlation between the zero value of its dynamic equivalent mass and the stiffness ratio of the system is studied. It is found that not only is the upper bound of the negative mass effectively broadened, but also the lower bound is successfully lowered only by adjusting the stiffness ratio of the sphere. Most importantly, based on the regulation mechanism with adjustable stiffness ratio, the lower boundary of the band gap is lowered from 171 Hz to 141 Hz, and the upper boundary is increased from 445 Hz to 710 Hz. Therefore, the low-frequency ultra-wideband of 141–710 Hz is obtained only by adjusting the stiffness ratio of the system and the Finite Element Method, which is highly consistent with theoretical analyses. Obviously, the mechanism of obtaining the low-frequency wideband through adjusting the stiffness ratio not only provides a novel idea for adjusting the low-frequency ultra-wideband, but also provides theoretical guidance for the developing the small-size and lightweight acoustic devices, so it would have potential application in the field of vibration and noise reduction.

Moreover, the liquid metal fibers have the advantages of good integrity, excellent electrical conductivity, inherent stretchability, easy phase transition, and can be woven or knitted into smart fabrics. To solve the problems of the complex manufacture process and low integrity of lithographic sensors, capillary fibers replace the lithographic microfluidic channel to fill liquid metal to manufacture the pressure sensor in this paper. The prefabricated fiber is poured directly to produce the flexible chip. The steel shell is employed to increase the sensor’s measuring range and to enhance its overall performance. Compression experiments on the developed sensor are conducted, and pressure-resistance curves of the developed pressure sensor are obtained. The analytical solution of the pressure for the developed sensor is derived, and the analytical results are in good agreement with the experimental data. The cyclic loading experimental result shows that the measuring range of the chip is from 0 kPa to 1900 kPa with a full-scale output value of 1644 mΩ, linearity varying from 0.14 to 1.22 mΩ kPa−1, curve coincidence of 48.2%, repeatability of 2.77% and hysteresis of 5.26%. The measuring range of the developed pressure sensor is from 0 MPa to 20 MPa with a full-scale output value of 1046 mΩ, linearity ranging from 35.63 to 70.20 mΩ MPa−1, curve coincidence of 7.5%, repeatability of 2.35% and hysteresis of 4.53%. The comparison of performance indexes shows that the capillary fiber-based chip has good measurement performance, and the introduction of steel shell further improves the measurement performance.

The primary aim of this study is to utilize multicast in the preparation of multi-party four-qubit cluster states. In the presence of environment noises, errors may influence the procedure of the particle distribution. To address this challenge, we propose a fault-tolerant scheme to manage the errors within the detectable channel particles. Based on the Bell chain channel, our approach could prepare arbitrary four-particle cluster state by introducing auxiliary particles, where the receiver performs the unitary operation for recovering the target states. Compared to previous multicast protocols, our scheme reduces resource consumption and operational complexity during cluster state preparation. Additionally, we analyze the system’s fidelity in incoherent environments, providing a more comprehensive understanding of the impact of noise on quantum communication systems.
