Supersymmetric quantum mechanics and the index theorem

We consider the classical mechanics of the spinning particle and investigate which Abelian interactions can be added without breaking supersymmetry. A quantum theory is presented. The well known index theorem for the Dirac operator is extended to take into account the effect of anti-symmetric Abelian tensor fields. Furthermore interactions with non-Abelian anti-symmetric tensor fields are investigated. It turns out in both cases that these fields do not give any non-trivial contributions to the index.     

Jack Superpolynomials,Superpartition Ordering and Determinantal Formulas

 We call superpartitions the indices of the eigenfunctions of the supersymmetric extension of the trigonometric Calogero-Moser-Sutherland model. We obtain an ordering on superpartitions from the explicit action of the model's Hamiltonian on monomial superfunctions. This allows to define Jack superpolynomials as the unique eigenfunctions of the model that decompose triangularly, with respect to this ordering, on the basis of monomial superfunctions. This further leads to a simple and explicit determinantal expression for the Jack superpolynomials.

Supersymmetry and SWKB Approach to Dirac Equation with Hyperbolic Scarf Potential

By using the supersymmetric quantum mechanics and shape invariance concept, we study the Dirac equation with the hyperbolic Scarf potential and the exact energy spectrum is obtained. Also, we calculate the bound state energy eigenvalues by using the supersymmetric WKB approximation approach so that we get the same results.     

Jack Superpolynomials with Negative Fractional Parameter: Clustering Properties and Super-Virasoro Ideals

The Jack polynomials ${P_\lambda^{(\alpha)}}$ at ???= ?(k?+?1)/(r ? 1) indexed by certain (k, r, N)-admissible partitions are known to span an ideal ${I_{N}^{(k,r)}}$ of the space of symmetric functions in N variables. The ideal ${I_{N}^{(k,r)}}$ is invariant under the action of certain differential operators which include half the Virasoro algebra. Moreover, the Jack polynomials in ${I_{N}^{(k,r)}}$ admit clusters of size at most k: they vanish when k?+?1 of their variables are identified, and they do not vanish when only k of them are identified. We generalize most of these properties to superspace using orthogonal eigenfunctions of the supersymmetric extension of the trigonometric Calogero-Moser-Sutherland model known as Jack superpolynomials. In particular, we show that the Jack superpolynomials ${P_\lambda^{(\alpha)}}$ at ???= ?(k?+?1)/(r ? 1) indexed by certain (k, r, N)-admissible superpartitions span an ideal ${\mathcal{I}_{N}^{(k,r)}}$ of the space of symmetric polynomials in N commuting variables and N anticommuting variables. We prove that the ideal ${\mathcal{I}_{N}^{(k,r)}}$ is stable with respect to the action of the negative-half of the super-Virasoro algebra. In addition, we show that the Jack superpolynomials in ${\mathcal {I}_{N}^{(k,r)}}$ vanish when k?+?1 of their commuting variables are equal, and conjecture that they do not vanish when only k of them are identified. This allows us to conclude that the standard Jack polynomials with prescribed symmetry should satisfy similar clustering properties. Finally, we conjecture that the elements of ${\mathcal{I}_{N}^{(k,2)}}$ provide a basis for the subspace of symmetric superpolynomials in N variables that vanish when k?+?1 commuting variables are set equal to each other.     

Dirac Equation and Some Quasi-Exact Solvable Potentials in the Turbiner's Classification

In this paper quasi-exact solvability(QES)of Dirac equation with some scalar potentials based on sl(2)Lie algebra is studied.According to the quasi-exact solvability theory,we construct the configuration of the classes II,IV,V,and X potentials in the Turbiner’s classification such that the Dirac equation with scalar potential is quasi-exactly solved and the Bethe ansatz equations are derived in order to obtain the energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions.     

Angular Momentum of Supersymmetric Non-isotropic Traps

A simple way to explain quantum behavior of supersymmetric non-isotropic traps is proposed in the framework of semiunitary formulation of supersymmetric quantum mechanics. Using semiunitary formulation we can simultaneously supersymmetrize the complete set of observables, especially including angular moment.     

Supersymmetric Quantum Mechanics and SUSY Dependent SU（2） Symmetry for a Spin-1/2 Charged Particle in a Magnetic Field

We find that in a supersymmetric quantum mechanics （SUSY QM） system, in addition to supersymmetric algebra, an associated SU（2） algebra can be obtained by using semiunitary （SUT） operator and projection operator, and the relevant constants of motion can be constructed. Two typical quantum systems are investigated as examples to demonstrate the above finding. The first example is the quantum system of a nonrelativistic charged particle moving in x-y plane and coupled to a magnetic field along z-axis. The second example is provided with the Dirac particle in a magnetic field. Similarly there exists an SUτ（2） SUσ（2） symmetry in the context of the relativistic Pauli Hamilt onian squared. We show that there exists also an SU（2） symmetry associated with the supersvmmetrv of the Dirac particle.

Transmission time in the reflectionless complex potential

A phase time definition directly obtained from the Schr6dinger equation is used to investigate the time delay of a particle scattered by complex reflectionless potential. The artifacts introduced by truncating in the numerical simulation are clarified. The time delay of the transmitted wave packet is found to be equal to the reflection time of the truncated potential. Both time delays are the same as the traversal time in the free space, but shorter than the time taken by a classical particle to pass the same potential.

NEW EXACTLY SOLVABLE SUPERSYMMETRIC PERIODIC POTENTIALS

Using the formalism of supersymmetric quantum mechanics, we give an exact solution for a family of one-dimensional periodic potentials, which are the supersymmetric partners of the potential proportional to the trigonometric function cos(2x) such that the Schr?dinger equation for this potential is named the Mathieu equation mathematically. We show that the new potentials are distinctly different from their original ones. However, both have the same energy band structure. All the potentials obtained in this paper are free of singularities.     

Climbing Mount Scalable: Physical Resource Requirements for a Scalable Quantum Computer

The primary resource for quantum computation is Hilbert-space dimension. Whereas Hilbert space itself is an abstract construction, the number of dimensions available to a system is a physical quantity that requires physical resources. Avoiding a demand for an exponential amount of these resources places a fundamental constraint on the systems that are suitable for scalable quantum computation. To be scalable, the effective number of degrees of freedom in the computer must grow nearly linearly with the number of qubits in an equivalent qubit-based quantum computer.     

Low frequency asymptotics for the spin-weighted spheroidal equation in the case of s=1/2

The spin-weighted spheroidal equation in the case of s=1/2 is thoroughly studied by using the perturbation method from the supersymmetric quantum mechanics.The first-five terms of the superpotential in the series of parameter β are given.The general form for the n-th term of the superpotential is also obtained,which could also be derived from the previous terms W k,k < n.From these results,it is easy to obtain the ground eigenfunction of the equation.Furthermore,the shape-invariance property in the series of parameter β is investigated and is proven to be kept.This nice property guarantees that the excited eigenfunctions in the series form can be obtained from the ground eigenfunction by using the method from the supersymmetric quantum mechanics.We show the perturbation method in supersymmetric quantum mechanics could completely solve the spin-weight spheroidal wave equations in the series form of the small parameter β.     

Analytic solutions of the ground and excited states of the spin-weighted spheroidal equation in the case of s=2

By using the super-symmetric quantum mechanics (SUSYQM) method, this paper obtains the analytical solutions for the spin-weighted spheroidal wave equation in the case of s = 2. Based on the derived W 0 to W 4 the general form for the n-th-order super-potential is summarized and is proved correct by mathematical induction. Hence the ground eigenvalue problem is completely solved. Particularly, the novel solutions of the excited state are investigated according to the shape-invariance property.
