One- and Two-Mode Combination Squeezing Operator for Two Harmonic Oscillators with Coordinate-Momentum Coupling

By virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators, we derive the normal ordering expansion of a one- and two-mode combination squeezing operator for two harmonic oscillators with coordinatemomentum coupling. It turns out that this squeezing operator just diagonalizes the Hamiltonian H = p21/2m1 m1ω21x21/2 p22/2m2 m2ω22x22/2 - λx2p1, so its ground state is a one- and two-mode combination squeezed state.Quantum fluctuation in the ground state is calculated.     

压缩真空场与原子非线性作用过程中的纠缠与消纠缠

用Von Neumann熵研究了附加克尔介质的压缩真空场与二能级原子依赖强度耦合相互作用量子体系的量子纠缠特性.讨论了初始压缩真空场的压缩度以及克尔非线性作用的强度对该量子体系纠缠特性的影响.结果表明，克尔介质的非线性作用的强弱可以改变体系量子纠缠的周期性；在初始压缩度较大（r=5）时，克尔介质的非线性作用可导致原子与场持续地处于最大纠缠态，无消纠缠态或持续地处于消纠缠态. 关键词： 压缩真空态 克尔介质 依赖强度耦合J-C模型 Von Neumann熵 量子纠缠     

Oxidative Coupling of Thiols to Disulfides with Ti(IV) in the Presence of NaI under Air Atmosphere

Ti(IV) as TiCl₃(O₃SCF₃) and TiO(O₂CCF₃)₂ are used as efficient catalysts for oxidative coupling of aliphatic, aromatic and heteroaromatic thiols to their disulfides in the presence of NaI under air atmosphere.     

An efficient phosphine-free palladium coupling for the synthesis of new 2-arylbenzo[b]thiophenes

Straightforward and rapid access to 2-arylbenzo[b]thiophenes has been developed. It involved a catalytic coupling of 3-activated benzo[b]thiophenes with several aryl halides in the presence of a phosphine-free palladium system. In case of fragile functional groups such as aldehydes, a quaternary ammonium was used as an additive as with the other substrates, the coupling performed better and faster in the presence of a crown ether, the best one being DCH-18-C-6, with good yields and low reaction times. This method would provide a direct access to novel structures of biological interest.     

锥形光纤的偏振特性

随着光通信技术的不断发展，光纤的应用越来越广泛，而锥形光纤以其独特的传光方式越来越多地应用于光纤连接、成像及测量等领域。实验测定了不同锥角和不同长度锥形光纤的偏振特性。理论上，根据麦克斯韦方程组以及边界条件给出了光在理想光纤中的场分布，阐明了实际光纤中光的传输特性。论证了锥形光纤长度与其偏振特性的关系，进而利用几何光学方法对锥形光纤锥角与其偏振特性的关系作了定性说明。并用具体数据进行了定量计算，得出偏振光经锥形光纤传输或耦合后再传输到其终端所得到均是椭圆偏振光的结论。     

An Analogue of the Cramér–Lundberg Approximation in the Optimal Investment Case

We consider ruin probabilities for an insurance company, which can also invest in the stock market. The risk process is modeled by a compound Poisson process and the stock price by geometric Brownian motion. We show that if the tails of the claims are light tailed, then the optimal strategy is asymptotically given by holding a constant $-value in the stock position. Furthermore, we show that a kind of Cramér–Lundberg approximation holds for the minimal ruin probability. Everything is shown under assumptions, which are analogous to the assumptions in the case of the classical Cramér–Lundberg approximation without investment.     

Assignment of chemical shifts in benzohydroxamic acid and structure of its silylated derivatives by 15N enrichment

¹⁵N isotopic enrichment was necessary for the unequivocal assignment of the ¹H NMR lines to the protons in the NH–OH fragment of benzohydroxamic acid, BHXA, C₆H₅CONHOH, in dry dimethyl sulfoxide solutions. The assignment [δ(NH) = 11.21, δ(OH) = 9.01, ¹J(¹⁵N,¹H) = 102.2 Hz, ²J(¹⁵N,¹H) <1.5 Hz], which is opposite to that used by other authors, confirms the assignment extended to BHXA by Brown and co‐workers from the spectra of acetohydroxamic acid. The enrichment allowed also assignment of the ²⁹Si lines in the spectra of disilylated benzohydroxamic acid, (Z)‐tert‐butyldimethylsilyl N‐tert‐butyldimethylsilyloxybenzoimidate (2) and (Z)‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyl N‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyloxybenzoimidate (3), and confirmed structure of the monosilylated products, N‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyloxybenzamide (4) and N‐tert‐butyldiphenylsilyloxy benzoimidic acid (5).

An existence theorem for neutral variational problems of Bolza

This note proves an existence theorem for a generalized Bolza-type problem that has time delays in both the state and velocity variables. The assumptions are stated in terms of a modification of the classical Hamiltonian, and extend ideas of Rockafellar to the delay case.
