We describe a protocol for distilling maximally entangled bipartite states between random pairs of parties from those sharing a tripartite W state |W⟩=(1/3)(|100⟩+|010⟩+|001⟩)ABC, and show that the total distillation rate Et∞ [the total number of Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen (EPR) pairs distilled per W, irrespective of who shares them] may be done at a higher rate than EPR distillation between specified pairs of parties. Specifically, the optimal rate for distillation to specified parties has been previously shown to be 0.92 EPR pairs per W, while our protocol can asymptotically distill 1 EPR pair per W between random pairs of parties, which we conjecture to be optimal. We thus demonstrate a tradeoff between overall distillation rate and final distribution of EPR pairs. We further show that there exist states with fixed lower-bounded Et∞, but arbitrarily small distillable entanglement for specified parties.

To improve the performance of a quantum-key-distribution (QKD) system, high speed, low dark count single photon detectors (or low-noise homodyne detectors) are required. However, in practice, a fast detector is usually noisy. Here, we propose a dual-detector method to improve the performance of a practical QKD system with realistic detectors: the legitimate receiver randomly uses either a fast (but noisy) detector or a quiet (but slow) detector to measure the incoming quantum signals. The measurement results from the quiet detector can be used to bound the eavesdropper’s information, while the measurement results from the fast detector are used to generate a secure key. We apply this idea to various QKD protocols. Simulation results demonstrate significant improvements of the secure key rate in the lower loss regime in both Bennett-Brassard 1984 (BB84) protocol with ideal single photon source and Gaussian-modulated coherent states protocol; while for decoy-state BB84 protocol with weak coherent source, the improvement is moderate. We also discuss various practical issues in implementing the dual-detector scheme.

This paper proposes a fuzzy control approach for the traffic-responsive ramp metering and variable speed limits control, in order to reduce the peak-hour congestion on freeways. The objective of control is to minimize the total time spent in the traffic network. To ease the calibration process of fuzzy controller and improve the overall performance of ramp metering and variable speed limits, genetic algorithm is applied for tuning the fuzzy sets parameters. In order to evaluate the controller's efficiency and applicability, a comparison is made with traditional ALINEA based controller and the fuzzy ramp metering only case by a case-study. The macroscopic traffic model METANET and its extension for dynamic speed limits are used for optimization procedure and presenting the simulation results. The paper concludes that genetic fuzzy control of ramp metering and speed limits is expected to enhance the performance of the freeway traffic network.

In this paper, we present a fully fiber-based one-way quantum-key-distribution (QKD) system implementing the Gaussian-modulated coherent-state (GMCS) protocol. The system employs a double Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) configuration in which the weak quantum signal and the strong local oscillator (LO) go through the same fiber between Alice and Bob, and are separated into two paths inside Bob’s terminal. To suppress the LO leakage into the signal path, which is an important contribution to the excess noise, we implemented a scheme combining polarization and frequency multiplexing, achieving an extinction ratio of 70 dB. To further minimize the system excess noise due to phase drift of the double MZI, we propose that, instead of employing phase feedback control, one simply let Alice remap her data by performing a rotation operation. We further present noise analysis both theoretically and experimentally. Our calculation shows that the combined polarization and frequency multiplexing scheme can achieve better stability in practice than the time-multiplexing scheme, because it allows one to use matched fiber lengths for the signal and the LO paths on both sides of the double MZI, greatly reducing the phase instability caused by unmatched fiber lengths. Our experimental noise analysis quantifies the three main contributions to the excess noise, which will be instructive to future studies of the GMCS QKD systems. Finally, we demonstrate, under the “realistic model” in which Eve cannot control the system within Bob’s terminal, a secure key rate of 0.3bit∕pulse over a 5km fiber link. This key rate is about two orders of magnitude higher than that of a practical Bennett-Brassard 1984 protocol QKD system.

A smooth patchy control Lyapunov function for a nonlinear control system consists of an ordered family of smooth local control Lyapunov functions, whose open domains form a locally finite cover of the state space of the system, and which satisfy a certain arrangement property. In contrast to (Goebel et al., IEEE CDC, 2006), on each intersection of the domains, we do not impose a decrease condition of the local control Lyapunov functions when the index increases. We show a construction, based on such a patchy control Lyapunov function, of a stabilizing hybrid feedback that is robust to measurement noise. Copyrighte 2007 IFAC

In this paper, we extend the observer/control strategies previously published in [25] to an n -link, serially connected, direct drive, rigid link, revolute robot operating in the presence of nonlinear friction effects modeled by the Lu-Gre model. In addition, we also present a new adaptive control technique for compensating for the nonlinear parameterizable Stribeck effects. Specifically, an adaptive observer/controller scheme is developed which contains a feedforward approximation of the Stribeck effects. This feedforward approximation is used in a composite controller/observer strategy which forces the average square integral of the position tracking error to an arbitrarily small value. Experimental results are included to illustrate the performance of the proposed controllers.

In this paper, a unique dynamic decoupling control strategy, based on the active disturbance rejection control framework, is proposed for square multivariable systems. With the proposed method, it is shown that a largely unknown square multivariable system is readily decoupled by actively estimating and rejecting the effects of both the internal plant dynamics and external disturbances. By requiring as little information on plant model as possible, the intention is to make the new method practical. Simulation results obtained on two chemical process problems show good performance in the presence of significant unknown disturbances and unmodeled dynamics.

This paper presents a method to determine the initial rotor position of a brushless DC machine at standstill without a position sensor. The key principle of the rotor position estimation is based on the simple detection and comparison of phase voltage and current responses relating to the stator inductance varied with the position of the rotor magnet. In the proposed method, only three pulse voltage injections are applied and 30 degree resolution can be achieved. Moreover, no knowledge of machine parameters is required. The effectiveness of the proposed method is validated by experimental results.
