A quantum mechanical model of consciousness and the emergence of ‘I’

There have been suggestions that the unity of consciousness may be related to the kind of holism depicted only in quantum physics. This argument will be clarified and strengthened. It requires the brain to contain a quantum system with the right properties — a Bose-Einstein condensate. It probably does contain one such system, as both theory and experiment have indicated. In fact, we cannot pay full attention to a quantum whole and its parts simultaneously, though we may oscillate between the two. In a quantum theory of consciousness, emergent meanings arise as an inevitable consequence of Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle.     

Atom probe tomography of nanoscale architectures in functional materials for electronic and photonic applications

Microscopy has played a central role in the advancement of nanoscience and nanotechnology by enabling the direct visualization of nanoscale structure, leading to predictive models of novel physical behaviors. Electronic and photonic device technologies, whose features and performance are often improved through miniaturization, have particularly benefited from new capabilities in the characterization of material structure and composition. This paper reviews recent applications of atom probe tomography to semiconducting materials with nanoscale architectures that are designed to impart novel properties and device functionality by virtue of their shape and size. A review is necessary because rapid advances in atom probe instrumentation and analysis in the last decade have greatly expanded the utility of atom probe tomography to address scientific questions and technical questions in this area. The paper is organized in terms of the surface topologies of nanoscale architectures. We begin with nominally planar interfaces including thin film heterostructures and superlattices with open surfaces. Distinctive capabilities in the analysis of interfaces are introduced, as are challenges arising from measurement artifacts. We then discuss nanowires and nanowire heterostructures with surfaces that are closed along one dimension, for which atom probe tomography has provided unique and important understandings on the doping processes. Finally, we consider nanocrystals and quantum dots with completely closed surfaces. Along the way, current challenges and opportunities for atom probe tomography are highlighted, and the reader is directed to complementary reviews of more technical aspects of atom probe analysis.

Ring signature scheme based on multivariate public key cryptosystems

The ring signature scheme is an important cryptographic primitive that enables a user to sign a message on behalf of a group in authentic and anonymous way, i.e. the recipient of the message is convinced that the message is valid and it comes from one of the group members, but does not know who the actual signer is. Currently, all the existing ring signatures are based on traditional cryptosystems. However, the rapid advances in the field of quantum computing indicate a growing threat to traditional cryptosystems. Multivariate public key cryptosystems (MPKCs) is one of the promising alternatives which may resist future quantum computing attacks. In this work, we propose a novel ring signature scheme based on multivariate polynomials with the security model for the first time. Our ring signature scheme has a great advantage in efficiency compared to many existing ring signature schemes, and currently it seems to be immune to quantum computing attacks.     

A photoluminescence-based quantum semiconductor biosensor for rapid in situ detection of Escherichia coli

This work describes a novel method of detecting Escherichia coli using photoluminescence (PL) emission from III–V quantum semiconductor (QS) devices functionalized with two different antibody-based architectures. The first approach employed self-assembled monolayers of biotinylated polyethylene glycol thiols to immobilize biotinylated antibody via neutravidin. In the second approach, we used QS microstructures coated with a thin layer of Si₃N₄ allowing direct functionalization with E. coli antibodies through hydrofluoric acid etching and glutaraldehyde-based reticulation. Atomic force, optical and fluorescence microscopy measurements were used to assess the immobilization process. Depending on the biosensing architecture, density of the immobilized bacteria was observed in the range of 0.5–0.7 bacteria/100 μm². The detection of E. coli at 10⁴ CFU/ml was achieved within less than 120 min of the bacteria exposure. It is expected that an even better sensitivity threshold could be achieved following further optimization of the method.     

Synthesis of quantum size ZnO crystals and their gas sensing properties for NO2

Quantum size ZnO crystals have been synthesized successfully by a room temperature sol-gel process. Oleic acid (OA) has been used as capping agent to control the particle size of ZnO. The crystal structure and size of the ZnO are characterized by the X-ray diffraction (XRD) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). The XRD results show the as-synthesized ZnO has hexagonal wurtzite structure and the average crystallite size is 5.7 nm which is little less than TEM result. It is testified by photoluminescence (PL) and Raman spectra that the quantum size ZnO keeps the crystal structure of the bulk ZnO and possesses more surface defects. The quantum size ZnO has the highest response of 280 to NO₂ and the highest selectivity of 31 and 49 corresponding to CO and CH₄ at operating temperature of 290 °C. The effect of calcination temperatures on sensing property and transient response of the ZnO sensor are also investigated.
