AbstractWe present a systematic numerical analysis of the quantum yield of an electric dipole coupled to a plasmonic nanoparticle. We observe that the yield is highly dependent on the distance between the electric dipole and the nanoparticle, the size and permittivity of the nanoparticle, and the wavelength of the incident radiation. Our results indicate that enhancement of the quantum yield is only possible for electric dipoles coupled to a nanoparticle with a radius of 20 nm or larger. As the size of the nanoparticle is increased, emission enhancement occurs at wavelengths dependent on the coupling distance.

The Aurivillius phases of complex bismuth oxides have attracted considerable attention due to their lattice polarization (ferroelectricity) and photocatalytic activity. We report a first-principles exploration of Bi<sub>2</sub>WO<sub>6</sub> and the replacement of W<sup>6+</sup> by pentavalent (Nb<sup>5+</sup>, Ta<sup>5+</sup>) and tetravalent (Ti<sup>4+</sup>, Sn<sup>4+</sup>) ions, with charge neutrality maintained by the formation of a mixed-anion oxyhalide sublattice. We find that Bi<sub>2</sub>SnO<sub>4</sub>F<sub>2</sub> is thermodynamically unstable, in contrast to Bi<sub>2</sub>TaO<sub>5</sub>F, Bi<sub>2</sub>NbO<sub>5</sub>F and Bi<sub>2</sub>TiO<sub>4</sub>F<sub>2</sub>. The electric dipoles introduced by chemical substitutions in the parent compound are found to suppress the spontaneous polarization from 61.55 μC/cm<sup>2</sup> to below 15.50 μC/cm<sup>2</sup>. Analysis of the trends in electronic structure, surface structure, and ionization potentials are reported. This family of materials can be further extended with control of layer thicknesses and choice of compensating halide species.<br>

A general scheme is presented to decompose a d-by-d unitary matrix as the product of two-level unitary matrices with additional structure and prescribed determinants. In particular, the decomposition can be done by using two-level matrices in d - 1 classes, where each class is isomorphic to the group of 2 × 2 unitary matrices. The proposed scheme is easy to apply, and useful in treating problems with the additional structural restrictions. A Matlab program is written to implement the scheme, and the result is used to deduce the fact that every quantum gate acting on n-qubit registers can be expressed as no more than 2n-1(2n-1) fully controlled single-qubit gates chosen from 2n-1 classes, where the quantum gates in each class share the same n - 1 control qubits. Moreover, it is shown that one can easily adjust the proposed decomposition scheme to take advantage of additional structure evolving in the process.
