The quantum Fredkin gate is a three-qubit gate that swaps the two target qubits if and only if the control qubit is in the logical state |1). The gate finds various applications in quantum computing [1, 2], communications [3] and measurement schemes [4]. We present photonic implementation of the quantum Fredkin gate and its full tomographical characterization, along with other demonstrations of its...
This article describes the development and evolution of test methods for evaluation of the thermal class of liquid-immersed transformer insulation systems. Various methods recognized by industry standards are briefly described, with the focus on a revised procedure for the sealed tube test method. An example of the product evaluation using this method is presented. Recent industry discussions on the...
DuPont Nomex® 910 engineered cellulose insulation is a new unique, solid insulation material composed of high quality electrical grade cellulose pulp and web like binders made from high-temperature aramid polymer. The technical feasibility of this new generation paper has been investigated, resulting in a paper composed of high quality aramid fibrid rather than synthetic fiber and binder, with a multi-ply...
A fundamental characteristic of quantum mechanics is that amplification of a quantum state is an operation that is inevitably linked to the addition of noise [1]. As a direct consequence, it is in general impossible to generate perfect copies of an unknown quantum state. This is known as the famous no-cloning theorem [2]. However, it was shown recently, that noiseless amplification is possible by...
This paper is about the validation of minimal electronic structure developed around piezoelectric transformer for high voltage mems supply. High voltage and compactness are main requirements leading to the development of electronic circuit. The selected solution is discussed and experimentally validated by a first prototype.
The innovative insulating tape for rotating machines shows advantages concerning the electrical and mechanical strength as well as its thickness and thermal conductivity. In this paper the new developed mica tapes should be tested with respect to the thermal behaviour of the end corona protection and voltage endurance of various types of used mica paper. For this reason a test series of different...
In this paper, we consider the process of filtering non-Gaussian noise from binary coherent states using two different measurement methods: homodyne detection and on/off detection. Characteristics of homodyne and on/off detection in such a filter are compared and the optimal device is discussed. The performance of the protocol was characterized by measuring the signal state probability before and...
The possibility to increase operating performance and efficiency of an electric machine can be achieved through the improvement or modification of the components of the primary insulating material. Relevant variables in the construction of a machine can be found in the components of the insulating materials and their overall thickness. These components can influence the electric strength and overall...

The engineering profession has accepted the risk-based design in the form of Load and Resistance Factors design (LRFD) concept. However, a large number of practicing engineers do not use it in everyday design. Lack of education may be a reason for this avoidance. Another major complaint is that the current LRFD-based codified approach cannot estimate the reliability of real structures. Simulation...
