Spin Squeezing and Quantum Fisher Information in One-Axis Twisting Model with Decay

We investigate spin squeezing and the reciprocal of the mean quantum Fisher information per particle (RMQFI) of a collective spin governed by a one-axis twisting Hamiltonian with decay. In particular, we are interesting in the dependence of spin squeezing and RMQFI on the decay rate. The larger decay rate induces to stronger squeezing in certain regime and the larger period of RMQFI.     

Quantum Fisher Information in the Generalized One-axis Twisting Model

We investigate the quantum Fisher information (QFI) of symmetric states for spin-s particles. We derive the maximal QFI, and find that quantum spin correlations are essential ingredients of the maximal QFI. We make applications to the generalized one-axis twisting model. The results show that the redistributions of uncertainties on the basis of the quantum correlations in the multiqubit system are useful for sub-shot-noise phase sensitivity. Furthermore, for high-spin (s>1/2) composite systems, we find a sufficient criterion for entanglement.     

Spin Squeezing in Mixed Model of the One-Axis Twisting and Two-Axis Counter-Twisting with Decay

We investigate spin squeezing of a collective spin system governed by mixed Hamiltonian of the one-axis twisting and two-axis counter-twisting with decay. The analytic solutions of the optimally squeezed angle and the spin squeezing parameter are derived. It is shown that the two-axis counter-twisting Hamiltonian induces stronger spin squeezing than the one-axis twisting one. It is also shown that the decay rate has no effect on the size of the squeezing parameter, it only affects the period of squeezing parameter.     

Single-Particle Coherence and Spin Squeezing in Four-Qubit Phase State

We investigate single-particle coherence and spin squeezing in four-qubit phase state governed by an one-axis twisting Hamiltonian. In particular, we are interesting in the dependence of single-particle coherence and spin squeezing on the nonlinear interaction. It is shown that single-particle coherence and spin squeezing parameter only depend on the nonlinear interaction and they are periodic function of nonlinear interaction.     

Single-Particle Coherence and Spin Squeezing in Two-Particle Phase State

We investigate the relation between the single-particle coherence and spin squeezing in two-particle phase state governed by an one-axis twisting Hamiltonian. The single-particle coherence and spin squeezing parameter only depends on the nonlinear interaction, and they have the same period of oscillation and the maximum and the minimum.     

Spin Squeezing of the Generalized One-Axis Twisting Model

By using the perturbation techniques, we analytically and numerically calculate spin squeezing parameter defined by Kitagawa and Ueda. It shows that more squeezing may be achieved by strengthening linear interactions and increasing the total number of particles.

     

Spin Squeezing of One-Axis Twisting Model

We investigate spin squeezing of the one-axis twisting model. By using short-time approximation solutions of the angular momentum operators, we analytically and numerically calculate the spin squeezing parameter. It is shown that smaller linear interaction can produce a stronger spin squeezing and maintain a longer time interval. It is also shown that the stronger spin squeezing can be achieved by increasing the number of particles.     

Phase Coherence and Spin Squeezing in One-Axis Twisting Model with Decay

We investigate phase coherence and spin squeezing of a collective spin governed by one-axis twisting Hamiltonian with decay. Here we are interested in the dependence of phase coherence and spin squeezing parameter on the decay. The analytical expressions of phase coherence and spin squeezing parameter are obtained. The stronger decay can induce a stronger spin squeezing, and the squeezing can maintain a longer time interval. Moreover, more squeezing can be achieved by increasing the number of particles.     

Spin Squeezed States and Entangled States

The time evolution of spontaneous decay of a two-level atom in one dimension photonic crystals is investigated with three different methods ： （ 1 ） using the Markovian approximation, （2） using the constant approximation, and （3） without using any of the two approximations. The second and third methods are Non-Markovian, which yield similar results. The second method gives us a clear physical picture of the effect of the reflected field. The Non- Markovian processes due to the reflected field have great influence on the atomic decay mainly within one tenth of an optical cycle, and reach steady state influence fter one optical cycle. The result of Markovian approximation gives almost the same result of the other two methods after one optical cycle, but misses the details within the one optical cycle.     

Controlling Spin Squeezing in One-Axis Twisting with Decay

We investigate how an appropriate choice of the external field allows one to control spin squeezing of a collective spin governed by one-axis twisting with decay. By adopting frozen-spin approximation, we succussed in obtaining analytical expressions of the optimally squeezing angle and the spin squeezing parameter. The squeezing parameter is a periodical function, the period depends on the decay rate and the strength of the linear interaction, while the degree of squeezing is only determined by the external field, the smaller external field induces the stronger spin squeezing.     

Spin Squeezing and Quantum Fisher Information in Generalized Two-Axis Twisting Model

We investigated spin squeezing and quantum Fisher information in generalized two-axis twisting model; which generalizes the two-axis twisting model including a linear interaction controlled by an external field. In particular, we are interested in the dependence of spin squeezing and quantum Fisher information on the external field. By adopting frozen-spin approximation, we derive the theoretical and numerical results for spin squeezing and quantum Fisher information. Except certain special conditions, the stronger external field induces to stronger squeezing. Spin squeezing parameter and the reciprocal of the mean quantum Fisher information per particle are periodic function; but the external field has not important effect on the period.     

Spin squeezing: transforming one-axis twisting into two-axis twisting

Squeezed spin states possess unique quantum correlation or entanglement and are significantly promising for advancing quantum information processing and quantum metrology. In recent back-to-back publications [C. Gross et al., Nature (London) 464, 1165 (2010) and Max F. Riedel et al., Nature (London) 464, 1170 (2010)], reduced spin fluctuations are observed leading to spin squeezing at -8.2 and -2.5 dB, respectively, in two-component atomic condensates exhibiting one-axis-twisting interactions. The noise reduction limit for the one-axis twisting scales as ∝1/N(2/3), which for a condensate with N～10(3) atoms is about 100 times below the standard quantum limit. We present a scheme using repeated Rabi pulses capable of transforming the one-axis-twisting spin squeezing into the two-axis-twisting type, leading to Heisenberg limited noise reduction ∝1/N or an extra tenfold improvement for N～10(3).     

Quantum Fisher Information of Entangled Coherent States in a Lossy Mach–Zehnder Interferometer

We give an analytical result for the quantum Fisher information of entangled coherent states in a lossy Mach-Zehnder interferometer recently proposed by Joo et al., [Phys. Rev. Lett. 107 （2011） 083601]. For small loss of photons, we find that the entangled coherent state can surpass the Heisenberg limit. Phrthermore, the formalism developed here is applicable to the study of phase sensitivity of multipartite entangled coherent states.     

Exchange coupling and helical spin order in the triangular lattice antiferromagnet CuCrO2 using first principles

The magnetic and electronic properties of the geometrically frustrated triangular antiferromagnet CuCrO2 are investigated by first principles through density functional theory calculations within the generalized gradient approxi- mations （GGA）＋U scheme. The spin exchange interactions up to the third nearest neighbours in the ab plane as well as the coupling between adjacent layers are calculated to examine the magnetism and spin frustration. It is found that CuCrO2 has a natural two-dimensional characteristic of the magnetic interaction. Using Monte Carlo simulation, we obtain the Neel temperature to be 29.9 K, which accords well with the experimental value of 24 K. Based on non- collinear magnetic structure calculations, we verify that the incommensurate spiral-spin structure with （110） spiral plane is believable for the magnetic ground state, which is consistent with the experimental observations. Due to intra-layer geometric spin frustration, parallel helical-spin chains arise along the a, b, or a＋ b directions, each with a screw-rotation angle of about I20°. Our calculations of the density of states show that the spin frustration plays an important role in the change of d-p hybridization, while the spin-orbit coupling has a very limited influence on the electronic structure.     

Spin current and its heat effect in a multichannel quantum wire with Rashba spin-orbit coupling

Using the perturbation method,we theoretically study the spin current and its heat effect in a multichannel quantum wire with Rashba spin-orbit coupling.The heat generated by the spin current is calculated.With the increase of the width of the quantum wire,the spin current and the heat generated both exhibit period oscillations with equal amplitudes.When the quantum-channel number is doubled,the oscillation periods of the spin current and of the heat generated both decrease by a factor of 2.For the spin current j s,xy,the amplitude increases with the decrease of the quantum channel;while the amplitude of the spin current j s,yx remains the same.Therefore we conclude that the effect of the quantum-channel number on the spin current j s,xy is greater than that on the spin current j s,yx.The strength of the Rashba spin-orbit coupling is tunable by the gate voltage,and the gate voltage can be varied experimentally,which implies a new method of detecting the spin current.In addition,we can control the amplitude and the oscillation period of the spin current by controlling the number of the quantum channels.All these characteristics of the spin current will be very important for detecting and controlling the spin current,and especially for designing new spintronic devices in the future.     

Effects of N/Z on Spin Distribution of Evaporation Residue Cross Section as a Probe of Nuclear Dissipation

The spin distribution of the evaporation residue cross section of nuclei ^194pb, ^200Pb, ^206Pb, and ^200 Os are calculated via a Langevin equation coupled with a statistical decay model. It is shown that with increasing the neutronto-proton ratio （N/Z） of the system, the sensitivity of the significantly. Moreover, for ^200Os this spin distribution is no spin distribution to the nuclear dissipation is decreased longer sensitive to the nuclear dissipation. These results suggest that to obtain a more accurate pre-saddle viscosity coefficient through the measurement of the evaporation residue spin distribution, it is best to yield those compound systems with low N/Z.     

An electron spin resonance study of Eu doping effect in La4/3Srs/3Mn2O7 single crystal

The effect of Eu3＋ ion doping in the La sites of single-crystal La4/3Srs/3Mn2O7 was investigated. Electron spin resonance （ESR） was applied to La4/3Sr5/3Mn2O7 and （Lao.8Euo.2）4/3Sr5/3Mn2O7 single crystals. A phase separation and phase transitions were observed from the ESR spectra data. Between 350 K and 300 K, both paramagnetic resonance （PMR） and anisotropic ferromagnetic resonance （FMR） lines were observed in the ab plane and the c axis direction, suggesting a coexistence of the paramagnetic （PM） phase and the ferromagnetic （FM） phase. The magnetization measurement reveals a spin-glass-like behavior in single-crystal （Lao.8Euo.2）4/3 Sr5/3Mn2O7 below the temperature of spin freezing Tf （- 29.5 K）.     

Theory of phonon-modulated electron spin relaxation time based on the projection reduction method

This paper introduces a new method for a formula for electron spin relaxation time of a system of electrons interacting with phonons through phonon-modulated spin-orbit coupling using the projection-reduction method. The phonon absorption and emission processes as well as the photon absorption and emission processes in all electron transition processes can be explained in an organized manner, and the result can be represented in a diagram that can provide intuition for the quantum dynamics of electrons in a solid. The temperature （T） dependence of electron spin relaxation times （T1） in silicon is T1 ∝ T-1.07 at low temperatures and T1 ∝ T-3.3 at high temperatures for acoustic deformation constant Pad = 1.4 × 10^7 eV and optical deformation constant Pod = 4.0 × 10^17 eV/m. This means that electrons are scattered by the acoustic deformation phonons at low temperatures and optical deformation phonons at high temperatures, respectively. The magnetic field （B） dependence of the relaxation times is T1 ∝ B-2.7 at 100 K and T1 ∝ B-2.3 at 150 K, which nearly agree with the result of Yafet, T1 ∝ B-3.0- B -2.5.     

Relativistic symmetries of Deng Fan and Eckart potentials with Coulomb-like and Yukawa-like tensor interactions

Relativistic symmetries of the Dirac equation under spin and pseudo-spin symmetries are investigated and a combina- tion of Deng-Fan and Eckart potentials with Coulomb-like and Yukawa-like tensor interaction terms are considered. The energy equation is obtained by using the Nikiforov-Uvarov method and the corresponding wave functions are expressed in terms of the hypergeometric functions. The effects of the Coulomb and Yukawa tensor interactions are numerically discussed as well.     

The spin dynamics of the random transverse Ising chain with a double-Gaussian disorder

The dynamical properties of one-dimensional random transverse Ising model （RTIM） with a double-Gaussian disorder is investigated by the recursion method. Based on the first twelve recurrences derived analytically, the spin autocorrelation function （SAF） and associated spectral density at high temperature were obtained numerically. Our results indicate that when the standard deviation σg （or OrB） of the exchange couplings Ji （or the random transverse fields Bi） is small, no long-time tail appears in the SAE The spin system undergoes a crossover from a central-peak behavior to a collectivemode behavior, which is the dynamical characteristics of RTIM with the bimodal disorder. However, when σJ （or σB） is large enough, the system exhibits similar dynamics behaviors to those of the RTIM with the Gaussian disorder, i.e., the system exhibits an enhanced central-peak behavior for large σJ or a disordered behavior for large σB. In this instance, SAFs exhibit a similar long-time tail, i.e., C（t） ~ t ^-2 for large t. Similar properties are obtained when Ji （or Bi） satisfy the double-exponential distribution or the double-uniform distribution. Besides, when both the standard deviations and the mean values of the exchange couplings are small, the effects of the Gaussian random bonds may drive the system undergo two crossovers from a triplet state to a doublet state, and then to a collective-mode state.
