A quantum key distribution (QKD) system must fulfill the requirement of universal composability to ensure that any cryptographic application (using QKD system) is also secure. Furthermore, theoretical proof responsible for security analysis and generation should cater number $N$ distributed states being finite in practice. Continuous-variable (CV) based on coherent states, despite a suitable candidate integration telecom infrastructure, has so far been unable demonstrate as existing proofs...
Abstract It is suggested to improve the MNDO model by explicit inclusion of valence‐shell orthogonalization corrections, penetration integrals, and effective core potentials (ECPs) in one‐center part Hamiltonian matrix. Guided analytic formulas numerical ab initio results, corrections are expressed terms resonance integrals that represented a new empirical parametric function. All two‐center Coulomb interactions ECP evaluated analytically Gaussian basis followed uniform Klopman–Ohno scaling....
In the framework of EUROfusion's Power Plant Physics and Technology, working package breeding blanket (BB) aims at investigating four different BB concepts for an EU demonstration fusion reactor (DEMO). One these is helium-cooled pebble bed (HCPB) BB, which based on use beds lithiated ternary compounds Be or beryllides as tritium breeder multiplier materials, respectively, EUROFER97 structural steel He coolant. This paper giving overview HCPB Research Development (R&D) being developed KIT,...
Abstract C84 is treated as a system composed of 24 local minima whose energies, geometries, and vibrational frequencies are obtained from MNDO calculations. The predicted global minimum D2d symmetry remains the most abundant species in equilibrium isomeric mixture only till 276 K, being replaced by D2 beyond that point. However, C 1 structure prevalent high temperature limit. calculated composition around 1000 K consistent with very recent NMR observations.
Crushing strength of the breeder materials (lithium orthosilicate, $\rm{Li_4SiO_4}$ or OSi) in form pebbles to be used for EU solid concept is investigated. The are fabricated using a melt-spray method and hence size variation produced expected. knowledge mechanical integrity (crush strength) important successful design blanket. In this paper, we present experimental results crush (failure) loads spherical OSi different diameters ranging from $250~\mu$m $800~\mu$m. ultimate failure load each...
Abstract MNDO parameters for helium are derived from an optimization that employs only atomic and diatomic reference data. Comparisons with published high‐level ab initio results indicate correctly predicts the existence of covalently bonded compounds normally reproduces geometries these small charged molecules reasonably well.
