We use a graphical representation of stabilizer states to describe, simply and efficiently, the effect of measurements of Pauli products on stabilizer states
This paper studies the joint distribution of frequencies of several overlapping words in a Markov sequence. Usually, characteristics of this distribution are
A gas saturation apparatus capable of simultaneous measurements on eighteen samples was used for this work. The vapor pressures of 2-nitrotoluene (2-NT), 3
We study the effect of magnetism and perpendicular external electric field strengths on the energy gap of length confined bilayer graphene nanoribbons (or
This paper is an erratum that corrects some typographical errors in our earlier paper "Parametric interatomic potential for graphene" by V.K. Tewary and B. Yang
