Energy Spectrum of Ground State and Excitation Spectrum of Quasi-particle for Hard-Core Boson in Optical Lattices

We investigate the energy spectrum of ground state and quasi-particle excitation spectrum of hard-core bosons, which behave very much like spinless noninteracting ferrnions, in optical lattices by means of the perturbation expansion and Bogoliubov approach. The results show that the energy spectrum has a single band structure, and the energy is lower near zero momentum; the excitation spectrum gives corresponding energy gap, and the system is in Mort-insulating state at Tonks limit. The analytic result of energy spectrum is in good agreement with that calculated in terms of Green＇s function at strong correlation limit.

Sudden birth and sudden death of thermal fidelity in a two-qubit system

We study the energy level crossing and the thermal fidelity in a two-qubit system with the presence of a transverse inhomogeneous magnetic field.With the help of contour plots,we clearly identify the ground states of the system in different regions of parameter space,and discuss the corresponding energy level crossing.The fidelity between the ground state of the system and the state of the system at temperature T is calculated.The result shows that the fidelity is very sensitive to the magnetic field anisotropic factor,indicating that this factor may be used as a controller of the fidelity.The influence of the Yangian transition operators on the fidelity of the system is discussed.We find that the Yangian operators can change the fidelity dramatically and give rise to sudden birth and sudden death phenomena of the thermal fidelity.This makes the corresponding Yangian operators possible candidates for switchers to turn the fidelity on and off.     

Finite-size behavior near the critical point of QCD phase-transition

It is pointed out that the finite-size effect is not negligible in locating the critical point of quantum colordynamics (QCD) phase transitions at current relativistic heavy ion collisions. The finite-size scaling form of the critical related observable is suggested. Its fixed point behavior at critical incident energy can be served as a reliable identification of a critical point and nearby boundary of QCD phase transition. How to experimentally find the fixed point behavior is demonstrated by using 3D-Ising model as an example. The validity of the method at finite detector acceptances at RHIC is also discussed.     

Energy spectrum of fermionized bosonic atoms in optical lattices

We investigate the energy spectrum of fermionized bosonic atoms, which behave very much like spinless noninteracting fermions, in optical lattices by means of the perturbation expansion and the retarded Green's function method. The results show that the energy spectrum splits into two energy bands with single-occupation; the fermionized bosonic atom occupies nonvanishing energy state and left hole has a vanishing energy at any given momentum, and the system is in Mott-insulating state with a energy gap. Using the characteristic of energy spectra we obtained a criterion with which one can judge whether the Tonks-Girardeau (TG) gas is achieved or not.     

Angular Anisotropy of the Fission Fragments in the Dinuclear System Mo del

A theoretical evaluation of the collective excitation spectra of nucleus at large deformations is possible within the framework of the dinuclear system (DNS) model, which treats the wave function of the fissioning nucleus as a superposition of a mononucleus configuration and two-cluster configurations in a dynamical way, permitting exchange of nucleons between clusters. In this work the method of calculation of the potential energy and the collective spectrum of fissioning nucleus at scission point is presented. Combining the DNS model calculations and the statistical model of fission we calculate the angular distribution of fission fragments for the neutron–induced fission of 239Pu.     

Monte Carlo simulation of electron beam air plasma characteristics

A high-energy electron beam generator is used to generate a plasma in atmosphere. Based on a Monte Carlo toolkit named GEANT4, a model including complete physics processes is established to simulate the passage of the electron beam in air. Based on the model, the characteristics of the electron beam air plasma are calculated. The energy distribution of beam electrons (BEs) indicates that high-energy electrons almost reside in the centre region of the beam, but low-energy electrons always live in the fringe area. The energy deposition is calculated in two cases, i.e., with and without secondary electrons (SEs). Analysis indicates that the energy deposition of SEs accounts for a large part of the total energy deposition. The results of the energy spectrum show that the electrons in the inlet layer of the low-pressure chamber (LPC) are monoenergetic, but the energy spectrum of the electrons in the outlet layer is not pure. The SEs are largely generated at the outlet of the LPC. Moreover, both the energy distribution of BEs and the magnitude of the density of SEs are closely related to the pressure of LPC. Thus, a conclusion is drawn that a low magnitude of LPC pressure is helpful for reducing the energy loss in the LPC and also useful for greatly increasing the secondary electron density in dense air.     

Cosmic ray energy spectrum from measurements of air showers

This review focuses on high-energy cosmic rays in the PeV energy range and above. Of particular interest is the knee of the spectrum around 3 PeV and the transition from cosmic rays of Galactic origin to particles from extra-galactic sources. Our goal is to establish a baseline spectrum from 1014 to 10^20 eV by combining the results of many measurements at different energies. In combination with measurements of the nuclear composition of the primaries, the shape of the energy spectrum places constraints on the number and spectra of sources that may contribute to the observed spectrum.     

Effective Hamiltonian of the Jaynes–Cummings model beyond rotating-wave approximation

The Jaynes–Cummings model with or without rotating-wave approximation plays a major role to study the interaction between atom and light. We investigate the Jaynes–Cummings model beyond the rotating-wave approximation. Treating the counter-rotating terms as periodic drivings, we solve the model in the extended Floquet space. It is found that the full energy spectrum folded in the quasi-energy bands can be described by an effective Hamiltonian derived in the highfrequency regime. In contrast to the Z_2 symmetry of the original model, the effective Hamiltonian bears an enlarged U(1)symmetry with a unique photon-dependent atom-light detuning and coupling strength. We further analyze the energy spectrum, eigenstate fidelity and mean photon number of the resultant polaritons, which are shown to be in accordance with the numerical simulations in the extended Floquet space up to an ultra-strong coupling regime and are not altered significantly for a finite atom-light detuning. Our results suggest that the effective model provides a good starting point to investigate the rich physics brought by counter-rotating terms in the frame of Floquet theory.     

In situ electronic structural study of VO_2 thin film across the metal–insulator transition

The in situ valence band photoemission spectrum （PES） and X-ray absorption spectrum （XAS） at V LⅡ-LⅢ edges of the VO2 thin film, which is prepared by pulsed laser deposition, are measured across the metal–insulator transition （MIT） temperature （TMIT=67 ℃）. The spectra show evidence for changes in the electronic structure depending on temperature. Across the TMIT, pure V 3d characteristic d‖ and O 2p-V 3d hybridization characteristic πpd, σpd bands vary in binding energy position and density of state distributions. The XAS reveals a temperature-dependent reversible energy shift at the V LⅢ-edge. The PES and XAS results imply a synergetic energy position shift of occupied valence bands and unoccupied conduction band states across the phase transition. A joint inspection of the PES and XAS results shows that the MIT is not a one-step process, instead it is a process in which a semiconductor phase appears as an intermediate state. The final metallic phase from insulating state is reached through insulator–semiconductor, semiconductor–metal processes, and vice versa. The conventional MIT at around the TMIT=67 ℃ is actually a semiconductor–insulator transformation point.

Specific MARY spectrum from radical anion of pentafluorobenzene

The paper presents the first resolved experimental magnetically affected reaction yield (MARY) spectrum for a system with nonequivalent nuclei, radical anion of pentafluorobenzene. This observation dispels the common apprehension that because of a rather involved energy level layout a system with not all nuclei magnetically equivalent cannot produce resolved MARY lines in nonzero fields, and greatly, increases the practical scope of level-crossing techniques for studies of spin-correlated radical pairs. The experimental finding is supported by schemes of energy levels calculated for this system.     

Loschmidt Echo and Fidelity Decay Near an Exceptional Point

Non‐Hermitian classical and open quantum systems near an exceptional point (EP) are known to undergo strong deviations in their dynamical behavior under small perturbations or slow cycling of parameters as compared to Hermitian systems. Such a strong sensitivity is at the heart of many interesting phenomena and applications, such as the asymmetric breakdown of the adiabatic theorem, enhanced sensing, non‐Hermitian dynamical quantum phase transitions, and photonic catastrophe. Like for Hermitian systems, the sensitivity to perturbations on the dynamical evolution can be captured by Loschmidt echo and fidelity after imperfect time reversal or quench dynamics. Here, a rather counterintuitive phenomenon in certain non‐Hermitian systems near an EP is disclosed, namely the deceleration (rather than acceleration) of the fidelity decay and improved Loschmidt echo as compared to their Hermitian counterparts, despite large (non‐perturbative) deformation of the energy spectrum introduced by the perturbations. This behavior is illustrated by considering the fidelity decay and Loschmidt echo for the single‐particle hopping dynamics on a tight‐binding lattice under an imaginary gauge field.

Detection of avoided crossings by fidelity

The fidelity, defined as overlap of eigenstates of two slightly different Hamiltonians, is proposed as an efficient detector of avoided crossings in the energy spectrum. This new application of fidelity is motivated for model systems, and its value for analyzing complex quantum spectra is underlined by applying it to a random matrix model and a tilted Bose-Hubbard system.

Muon level-crossing resonance in magnetically ordered materials

The positive muon is widely used as a microscopic probe of internal fields at interstitial sites in magnetically ordered materials. Recently, we have demonstrated that the hyperfine fields on the neighboring host nuclear spins can be measured using a novel muon level-crossing resonance technique, thus providing a more detailed picture of the electronic and magnetic environment around the muon. In this paper I will describe the fundamentals of muon level-crossing resonance as applied to magnetically ordered materials, and report an example in MnF₂.
