The Boundary States of the q-Deformed Supersymmetric t-J Model with a Boundary

The q-deformed supersymmetric t J model on a semi-infinite lattice is diagonalized by using the level-one vertex operators of the quantum affine superalgebra Uq[sl(2|1)]. We give the bosonization of the boundary states.``     

Vertex Operators for Boundary Algebras

We construct embeddings of boundary algebras into ZF algebras . Since it is known that these algebras are the relevant ones for the study of quantum integrable systems (with boundaries for and without for ), this connection allows to make the link between different approaches of the systems with boundaries. The construction uses the well-bred vertex operators built recently, and is classified by reflection matrices. It relies only on the existence of an R-matrix obeying a unitarity condition, and as such can be applied to any infinite dimensional quantum group.     

Bosonic Realization for Boundary States in Quantum sine-Gordon Field with Boundary

Boundary operators and boundary ground states in sine-Gordon model with a fixed boundary condition are studied using bosonization and q-deformed oscillators. We also study the boundary bound state for this case.     

Boundary terms for massless fermionic fields

Local supersymmetry leads to boundary conditions for fermionic fields in one-loop quantum cosmology involving the Euclidean normal _e n _A/A to the boundary and a pair of independent spinor fields ^A and . This paper studies the corresponding classical properties, i.e., the classical boundary-value problem and boundary terms in the variational problem. If is set to zero on a 3-sphere bounding flat Euclidean 4-space, the modes of the massless spin–1/2 field multiplying harmonics having positive eigenvalues for the intrinsic 3-dimensional Dirac operator onS ³ should vanish onS ³. Remarkably, this coincides with the property of the classical boundary-value problem when spectral boundary conditions are imposed onS ³ in the massless case. Moreover, the boundary term in the action functional is proportional to the integral on the boundary of ^A _e n _AA ^A .     

Boundary conditions changing operators in non-conformal theories

Boundary conditions changing operators have played an important role in conformal field theory. Here, we study their equivalent in the case where a mass scale is introduced, in an integrable way, either in the bulk or at the boundary. More precisely, we propose an axiomatic approach to determine the general scalar products _bθ₁, … ,θ_mθ₁′, … ,θ_n′_a, between asymptotic states in the Hilbert spaces with a and b boundary conditions respectively, and compute these scalar products explicitly in the case of the Ising and sinh-Gordon models with a mass and a boundary interaction. These quantities can be used to study statistical systems with inhomogeneous boundary conditions, and, more interestingly maybe, dynamical problems in quantum impurity problems. As an example, we obtain a series of new exact results for the transition probability in the double-well problem of dissipative quantum mechanics.     

Boundary graphene layer effect on surface plasmon oscillations in a quantum plasma half-space

The effect of graphene on unique features of surface plasmon-polariton excitations near the interface of vacuum and quantum plasma half-space is explored using a quantum hydrodynamic model including the Fermi electron temperature and the quantum Bohm potential together with the full set of Maxwell equations.It is found that graphene as a conductive layer significantly modifies the propagation properties of surface waves by making a change on the corresponding wave dispersion relation.It is shown that the presence of graphene layer on the interface of vacuum and plasma leads to a blue-shift in the surface Plasmon frequency.The results of present study must be contributed to the modern electronic investigations.     

The Open Boundary Dynamical Elliptic Quantum Gaudin Model and Its Solution

We construct the Hamiltonians of open elliptic quantum Gaudin model and show its relation with the open boundary elliptic quantum group. We define eigenstates of the model to be Bethe vectors with η=0 of the boundary elliptic quantum group. Then, the Hamiltonian is exactly diagonalized by using the algebraic Bethe ansatz method.     

Boundary field theory approach to the renormalization of SQUID devices

We show that the quantum properties of some Josephson SQUID devices are described by a boundary sine-Gordon model. Our approach naturally describes multi-junction SQUID devices and, when applied to a single junction SQUID (the rf-SQUID), it reproduces the known results of Glazman and Hekking. We provide a detailed analysis of the regimes accessible to an rf-SQUID and to a two-Josephson junction SQUID device (the dc-SQUID). We then compute the normal component of the current-response of a SQUID device to an externally applied voltage and show that the equation describing the current-voltage characteristic function reduces to well-known results when the infrared cutoff is suitably chosen. Our approach helps in establishing new and interesting connections between superconducting devices, quantum Brownian motion, fermionic quantum wires and, more generally, quantum impurity problems.     

Fluctuations in the Bose Gas with Attractive Boundary Conditions

In this paper limiting distribution functions of field and density fluctuations are explicitly and rigorously computed for the different phases of the Bose gas. Several Gaussian and non-Gaussian distribution functions are obtained and the dependence on boundary conditions is explicitly derived. The model under consideration is the free Bose gas subjected to attractive boundary conditions, such boundary conditions yield a gap in the spectrum. The presence of a spectral gap and the method of the coupled thermodynamic limits are the new aspects of this work, leading to new scaling exponents and new fluctuation distribution functions.     

Boundary Quantum Group Generators of Type A

We construct boundary quantum group generators which, through linear intertwining relations, determine nondiagonal solutions of the boundary Yang–Baxter equation for vector representations of A _n-1 ⁽¹⁾ and A ₂ ⁽²⁾ .     

The Gravitational Chiral Anomaly of the Spin-1/2 Field in the Presence of Twisted Boundary Conditions for Ordinary Field Theory

We calculate the chiral anomaly in the neighborhood of the fixed point space which is constructed by the group action of a discrete symmetry h on a compact manifold . The Feynman diagrams approach for the corresponding supersymmetric quantum mechanical system with twisted boundary conditions is used. The result we derive in this way agrees with the generalization of the ordinary index theorem (the G-index theorem) on the spin complex.     

Nested Bethe Ansatz for Spin Ladder Model with Open Boundary Conditions

The nested Bethe ansatz (BA) method is applied to find the eigenvalues and the eigenvectors of the transfer matrix for spin-ladder model with open boundary conditions. Based on the reflection equation, we find the general diagonal solution, which determines the general boundary interaction in the Hamiltonian. We introduce the spin-ladder model with open boundary conditions. By finding the solution K^± of the reflection equation which determines the nontrivial boundary terms in the Hamiltonian, we diagonalize the transfer matrix of the spin-ladder model with open boundary conditions in the framework of nested BA.

Science as social history

Quantum states of light, such as squeezed states or entangled states, can be used to make measurements (metrology), produce images, and sense objects with a precision that far exceeds what is possible classically, and also exceeds what was once thought to be possible quantum mechanically. The primary idea is to exploit quantum effects to beat the shot-noise limit in metrology and the Rayleigh diffraction limit in imaging and sensing. Quantum optical metrology has received a boost in recent years with an influx of ideas from the rapidly evolving field of optical quantum information processing. Both areas of research exploit the creation and manipulation of quantum-entangled states of light. We will review some of the recent theoretical and experimental advances in this exciting new field of quantum optical metrology, focusing on examples that exploit a particular two-mode entangled photon state – the High-N00N state.     

Non-commutative Low-dimension Spaces and Superspaces Associated with Contracted Quantum Groups and Supergroups

Quantum planes, which correspond to all one-parameter solutions of Quantum Yang-Baxter Equation (QYBE) for the two-dimensional case of GL-groups, are summarized and their geometrical interpretations are given. It is shown that the quantum dual plane is associated with an exotic solution of QYBE and the well-known quantum h-plane may be regarded as the quantum analog of the flag (or fiber) plane. Contractions of the quantum supergroup G L _q (12) and corresponding quantum superspace C _q (12) are considered in Cartesian basis. The contracted quantum superspace C _h (12);) is interpreted as the non-commutative analog of the superspace with the fiber odd part.
