Mass and radius determinations for five transiting M-dwarf stars (2009)
Fernandez, Jose M., Latham, David W., Torres, Guillermo, Everett, Mark E., Mandushev, Georgi, Charbonneau, David, ...
We have derived masses and radii for both components in five short-period single-lined eclipsing binary stars discovered by the TrES wide-angle photometric survey for transiting planets. All these...
The Transit Light Curve Project. XII. Six Transits of the Exoplanet XO-2b (2009)
Fernandez, Jose M., Holman, Matthew J., Winn, Joshua N., Torres, Guillermo, Shporer, Avi, Mazeh, Tsevi, ...
We present photometry of six transits of the exoplanet XO-2b. By combining the light-curve analysis with theoretical isochrones to determine the stellar properties, we find the planetary radius to be...
Cluster state quantum computing in optical fibers (2006)
Soudagar, Yasaman, Bussieres, Felix, Berlin, Guido, Lacroix, Suzanne, Fernandez, Jose M., Godbout, Nicolas
A scheme for the implementation of the cluster state model of quantum computing in optical fibers, which enables the feedforward feature, is proposed. This scheme uses the time-bin encoding of...
Paramagnetic Materials and Practical Algorithmic Cooling for NMR Quantum Computing (2005)
Fernandez, Jose M., Mor, Tal, Weinstein, Yossi
Algorithmic Cooling is a method that uses novel data compression techniques and simplecquantum computing devices to improve NMR spectroscopy, and to offer scalable NMR quantum computers. The...
Experimental Heat-Bath Cooling of Spins (2005)
Brassard, Gilles, Elias, Yuval, Fernandez, Jose M., Gilboa, Haggai, Jones, Jonathan A., Mor, Tal, ...
Algorithmic cooling is a novel technique to generate ensembles of highly polarized spins, which could significantly improve the signal strength in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. It...
Algorithmic Cooling of Spins: A Practicable Method for Increasing Polarization (2004)
Fernandez, Jose M., Lloyd, Seth, Mor, Tal, Roychowdhury, Vwani
An efficient technique to generate ensembles of spins that are highly polarized by external magnetic fields is the Holy Grail in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Since spin-half nuclei...
Fernandez, Jose M., Schneeberger, William A.
We introduce a model of computation based on quaternions, which is inspired on the quantum computing model. Pure states are vectors of a suitable linear space over the quaternions. Other aspects of...
Quantum Arithmetic on Galois Fields (2003)
Beauregard, Stephane, Brassard, Gilles, Fernandez, Jose M.
In this paper we discuss the problem of performing elementary finite field arithmetic on a quantum computer. Of particular interest, is the controlled-multiplication operation, which is the only...
A common algebraic description for probabilistic and quantum computations (2002)
Beaudry, Martin, Fernandez, Jose M., Holzer, Markus
We study the computational complexity of the problem SFT (Sum-free Formula partial Trace): given a tensor formula F over a subsemiring of the complex field (C,+,.) plus a positive integer k, under...
Analysis and Simulation of Wind-Driven Currents during the Mixed Layer Experiment (MILE). (2002)
The wind stress calculated from wind velocities measured during the Mixed Layer Experiment (MILE) was used as input to a one-dimensional wind-drive current model. These model results are compared...
