Entanglement perturbation theory for the elementary excitation in one dimension

The entanglement perturbation theory is developed to calculate the excitation spectrum in one dimension. Applied to the spin- antiferromagnetic Heisenberg model, it reproduces the des Cloiseaux-Pearson Bethe ansatz result. As for spin-1, the spin-triplet magnon spectrum has been determined for the first time for the entire Brillouin zone, including the Haldane gap at k=π.     

Non-local dynamics of Bell states in separate cavities

We present non-local dynamics of Bell states in separate cavities. It is demonstrated that (i) the entanglement damping speed will saturate when the cavity leakage rate γ?0.4; (ii) the synchronism relationship between the fidelity and the concurrence depends on the initial state; (iii) if the initial state is , the dynamics of entropy is opposite to that of fidelity.     

Effects of random-crystal-field on the kinetic Blume Capel model

The effects of random crystal field on the stationary states of the kinetic spin-1 Blume Capel model are studied using the Glauber-type stochastic dynamics under the time-dependent oscillating field assumption. Our investigation, based on the equilibrium ground state phase diagram, revealed many interesting phenomena. The known phases, in the equilibrium case, are obtained for high field and are represented by limit cycles. The phase diagram of the pure pure kinetic Ising spin- and spin-1 Blume Capel models are deduced as particular cases. First-order, second-order transition lines, dynamical critical and dynamical double critical end points are also obtained.     

A relativistic wave equation for the Skyrmion

We propose a relativistically invariant wave equation for the Skyrme soliton. It is a differential equation on the space R^1,3×S³ which is invariant under the Lorentz group and isospin. The internal variable valued in SU(2)≡S³ describes the orientation of the soliton. The mass of a particle of spin and isospin both equal to is predicted to be which agrees with the known spectrum for low angular momentum. The iso-scalar magnetic moment is predicted to be , where Σ is the spin.     

A generalized Kolmogorov-Sinai-like entropy under Markov shifts in symbolic dynamics

In this paper, a generalized Kolmogorov-Sinai-like entropy ( entropy) in the sense of Tsallis is proposed with a nonextensive parameter q under Markov shifts, which contains the classical Kolmogorov-Sinai (KS) entropy and the Rényi entropy as well as Bernoulli shifts as special cases. To verify the formula of this entropy, a one-dimensional iterative system is chosen as an example of Markov shifts, and its entropy is evaluated by a new refinement method of symbolic dynamics called symbolic refinement which differs from the conventional numerical method. The numerical results show that this entropy is monotonically decreasing as q increases.     

Exact results of a dimerized S=1 Ising chain with single-ion anisotropy

The dimerized spin-1 Ising chain with both longitude and transverse single-ion anisotropies D_z and D_x is solved exactly by means of a mapping to the spin- Ising chain with the alternating transverse fields and the Jordan-Wigner transformation. The analytical expressions of the quasi-particles’ spectra Λ_k, the minimal energy gap Δ₀ for exciting a fermion quasi-particle, the minimal energy gap Δ_h for exciting a hole, and the ground-state energy E_g are obtained. The phase diagram of the ground state is also given. The results show that the system exhibits a series of quantum phase transitions depending on the dimerization strength of the crystal fields, while the quantum critical points are determined exactly.     

A simple mathematical model for anomalous diffusion via Fisher's information theory

Starting with the relative entropy based on a previously proposed entropy function , we find the corresponding Fisher's information measure. After function redefinition we then maximize the Fisher information measure with respect to the new function and obtain a differential operator that reduces to a space coordinate second derivative in the q→1 limit. We then propose a simple differential equation for anomalous diffusion and show that its solutions are a generalization of the functions in the Barenblatt-Pattle solution. We find that the mean squared displacement, up to a q-dependent constant, has a time dependence according to 〈x²〉∼K1/qt1/q, where the parameter q takes values (superdiffusion) and (subdiffusion), ∀n?1.     

Energy fluctuation and correlation in Tsallis statistics

We investigate the fluctuation of the energy in the framework of Tsallis statistics and find the correlation plays an important role in energy fluctuations. In Tsallis statistics, the correlation is induced by the nonextensivity of Tsallis entropy and exists between particles even if the particles are dynamically independent. By taking the generalized ideal gas as an example, we get that when the particle number N is large enough, the relative fluctuation of the energy is proportional to 1/N instead of in Boltzmann statistics. Thus, the relative energy fluctuation is much smaller in Tsallis statistics than that in Boltzmann statistics. Besides, we demonstrate that the introduction of correlation between particle energies leads to smaller energy fluctuations in Tsallis statistics.     

The magnetocaloric effect and low temperature specific heat of SmNi

The magnetocaloric effect (MCE) in a magnetic SmNi sample was evaluated from magnetization and heat capacity measurements. The MCE phenomena in the vicinity of magnetic phase transitions in terms of magnetic entropy change, , and adiabatic temperature change, , are reported. Isothermal magnetization measurements at several temperatures around the transition were carried out and used for versusT calculations. A similar dependence of the magnetic entropy change was evaluated from heat capacity C_p(T) measurements under zero field and 5 T. The SmNi system provides magnetic refrigerants that induce an adiabatic cooling of about during the magnetization process with a field of 5 T in the temperature range of 35-45 K. The temperature dependence of C_p(T) is analyzed in terms of the magnetic and the lattice contributions.     

Effects of quantum entanglement in phase transitions

Starting with the canonical ensemble over the space of pure quantum states, we obtain an integral representation for the associated partition function. This is used to calculate the magnetisation of a system of N spin- particles. The results suggest the existence of a first order phase transition that occurs at zero temperature in the absence of spin-spin interactions.     

Quantum critical phenomena, entanglement entropy and Hubbard model in 1d with the boundary site with a negative chemical potential −p and the Hubbard coupling U positive

Recently the ground state and some excited states of the half-filled case of the 1d Hubbard model were discussed exactly for an open chain with L sites. The case when the boundary site has the chemical potential −p and the Hubbard coupling U is positive was considered. We model CeAl₂ nanoparticles, in which a valence of 4f electron number changes on surface Ce atoms, by this Hubbard model. A surface phase transition exists at some critical value pc3 of chemical potential (its absolute value) p in the model; when p<pc3 all the charge excitations have the gap, while there exists a massless charge mode when p>pc3. The aim of this Letter is to find whether this surface phase transition is of the first order or of the second order. We have found that the entanglement entropy and its derivative has a discontinuity at pc3 in general and thus this transition is of the first order (with exception of two points for the probability w₂ of occurrence of two electrons with opposites spins on the same site). There is a divergence in the difference of entanglement entropy for points w₂=0 and . The first point w₂=0 corresponds to ferro- (antiferro-) magnetic state at half-filled case. The second point does not correspond to any state for halffilled case. In the first case there is present the surface phase transition of the second order type.     

Magnetic properties of a ferrimagnetic core/shell nanocube Ising model: A Monte Carlo simulation study

Monte Carlo simulation has been used to study the magnetic properties and hysteresis loops of a single nanocube, consisting of a ferromagnetic core of spin- surrounded by a ferromagnetic shell of spin-1 with antiferromagnetic interface coupling. We find a number of characteristic phenomena. In particular, the effects of the shell coupling and the interface coupling on both the compensation temperature and the magnetization profiles are investigated. The effects of the interface coupling on the hysteresis loops are also examined.     

The quark model and b baryons

The recent observation at the Tevatron of (uub and ddb) baryons within 2 MeV of the predicted Σ_b-Λ_b splitting and of baryons at the Tevatron within a few mega electron volts (MeV) of predictions has provided strong confirmation for a theoretical approach based on modeling the color hyperfine interaction. The prediction of  = 5790-5800 MeV is reviewed and similar methods used to predict the masses of the excited states and . The main source of uncertainty is the method used to estimate the mass difference m_b-m_c from known hadrons. We verify that corrections due to the details of the interquark potential and to Ξ_b- mixing are small. For S-wave qqb states we predict , and . For states with one unit of orbital angular momentum between the b quark and the two light quarks we predict , and . Results are compared with those of other recent approaches.     

Effect of exchange-coupling interaction on anisotropy of grain in nanoscaled magnets

The effect of inter-grain exchange-coupling interaction on the anisotropy of grain in nanoscaled magnets has been investigated by putting forward an expression of anisotropy at grain boundary, , which is suitable for different coupling conditions, and expresses well the coherency between soft and hard grains. The average anisotropy of grain 〈K^ij〉 has been calculated based on and the theory of partial exchange-coupling interaction. It has been found that the average anisotropy of hard or soft grain, 〈K^hh〉 or 〈K^ss〉, increases with increasing grain size D monotonously when hard-hard or soft-soft grains couple. When soft-hard grains touch each other, with increasing D, the variation of average anisotropy of soft-hard grain 〈K〉 depends on the anisotropy at grain interface , which denotes the affection degree of hard grain on the anisotropy of soft grain. Compared with other results, it is more reasonable that ranges from to . The variations of anisotropy with D we calculated are consistent with those of coercivities given by other authors when is fixed in a certain range.
