Hydrocode Development on the Ncube and the Connection Machine Hypercubes [Book Chapter]

Hydrocode simulations constitute an important tool at Sandia National Laboratories and elsewhere for analyzing complex two- and three-dimensional systems. However, current vector supercomputers do not provide a growth path to enable fast, routine, and cost-effective simulations of large problems. Future, massively-parallel computers will provide a solution. Sandia has already developed simplified versions of the production hydrocode CTH for the Connection Machine and the nCUBE massively-parallel supercomputers. The parallel versions solve problems in two-dimensional, multi-fluid, shock-wave physics. Code development strategy, coding methodology, visualization techniques and performance results for this work are described.

Thermionic field emission of electrons from the paraboloidal metal micropoint

The problem of determining the emission current as a function of voltage, radius of the micropoint curvature, and the distance between the micropoint and a conducting plane is considered on the basis of the theoretical method developed for determining the electric field in the vicinity of a paraboloidal micropoint near a plane metal surface. The universal current–voltage characteristics for a copper micropoint, which are considered for various distances between the micropoint and the plane, can be used for obtaining quantitative estimates of currents in various physics problems.

Detection of photon statistics and multimode field correlations by Raman processes

Glauber’s g (2) -function provides a common measure of quantum field statistics through two-photon coincidence counting in Hanbury Brown–Twiss measurements. Here, we propose to use nonlinear optical signals as a tool for the characterization of quantum light. In particular, we show that Raman measurements provide an alternative direct probe for a different component of the four-point correlation function underlying the g (2) -function. We illustrate this capacity for a specific quantum state obtained from a frequency conversion process. Our work points out how the analysis of controlled optical nonlinear processes can provide an alternative window toward the analysis of quantum light sources.
