High-Energy Physics with Particles Carrying Non-Zero Orbital Angular Momentum

Thanks to progress in optics in the past two decades, it is possible to create photons carrying well-defined non-zero orbital angular momentum (OAM). Boosting these photons into high-energy range preserving their OAM seems feasible. Intermediate energy electrons with OAM have also been produced recently. One can, therefore, view OAM as a new degree of freedom in high-energy collisions and ask what novel insights it can bring. Here we discuss generic features of scattering processes involving twisted particles in the initial state. We show that they make it possible to perform a Fourier analysis of a plane wave cross section with respect to the azimuthal angles of the initial particles, and to probe the autocorrelation function of the amplitude, a quantity inaccessible in plane wave collisions.

I shall also discuss the J-pairing interaction, number of states with spin I and isospin T, i. e. , number of states for nucleons in a single-j shell.

同位旋对断前粒子发射影响的角动量依赖性

对一个同量异位素链²⁰²Fr,²⁰²Po,²⁰²Tl和一个同位素链^189,202,212Po,用裂变扩散模型考察了角动量对裂变前粒子发射同位旋效应的影响.发现断前粒子发射的同位旋效应敏感地依赖于系统的自旋.高的角动量不但弱化了同位旋对粒子蒸发的影响,而且也降低了核耗散对粒子发射的影响.因此,为了更准确地用粒子多重性来提取核耗散系数,选择一个低自旋的复合系统是重要的     

Nuclear Level Density with Non-zero Angular Momentum

The statistical properties of interacting fermions have been studied for various angular momentum with the inclusion of pairing interaction. The dependence of the critical temperature on angular momentum for several nuclei, have been studied. The yrast energy as a function of angular momentum for 28Si and 24 Mg nuclei have been calculated up to 60.0 MeV of excitation energy. The computed limiting angular momenta are compared with the experimental results for ^26Al produced by ^12C＋ 14N reaction. The relevant nuclear level densities for non-zero angular momentum have been computed for ^44Ti and ^136 Ba nuclei. The results are compared with their corresponding values obtained from the approximate formulas.

SU(2) Charges as Angular Momentum in N = 1 Self-Dual Supergravity

The N = 1 self-dual supergravity has SL(2, ) symmetry. This symmetry results inSU(2) charges as the angular momentum. As innonsupersymmetric self-dual gravity, the currents arealso of their potentials and are therefore identically conserved. Thecharges are generally invariant and gauge covariantunder local SU(2) transforms and approach being rigid atspatial infinity. The Poisson brackets constitute the su(2) algebra and hence can be interpretedas the generally covariant conservative angularmomentum.     

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.     

Nonlocal Appearance of a Macroscopic Angular Momentum

We discuss a type of measurement in which a macroscopically large angular momentum (spin) is “created” nonlocally by the measurement of just a few atoms from a double Fock state. This procedure apparently leads to a blatant nonconservation of a macroscopic variable—the local angular momentum. We argue that while this gedankenexperiment provides a striking illustration of several counter-intuitive features of quantum mechanics, it does not imply a non-local violation of the conservation of angular momentum.     

柱矢量光束的角动量性质

介绍了非近轴光束的表示理论,利用该表示理论很好地解决了非近轴光束的角动量问题,发现非近轴光束的总角动量可以严格地分解成自旋和轨道两部分,但是两者都依赖于由偏振椭圆度表征的光束的偏振状态。主要研究了柱矢量光束的角动量问题。给出了动量空间和位形空间中的柱矢量光束表达式和角动量算符表达式。通过分析两个空间中的角动量算符及柱矢量光束表达式,发现在这两种空间中,具有螺旋型相位的柱矢量光束是角动量算符沿着传播方向的分量的本征态,其本征值与偏振椭圆度无关,这为计算这类特殊光束的角动量提供了一种新方法。     

Six-State Quantum Key Distribution Using Photons with Orbital Angular Momentum

A new implementation of high-dimensional quantum key distribution （QKD） protocol is discussed. Using three mutual unbiased bases, we present a d？level six-state QKD protocol that exploits the orbital angular momentum with the spatial mode of the light beam. The protocol shows that the feature of a high capacity since keys are encoded using photon modes in d-level Hilbert space. The devices for state preparation and measurement are also discussed. This protocol has high security and the alignment of shared reference frames is not needed between sender and receiver.     

High-Rate Continuous-Variable Quantum Key Distribution with Orbital Angular Momentum Multiplexing

The secret key rate is one of the main obstacles to the practical application of continuous-variable quantum key distribution (CVQKD). In this paper, we propose a multiplexing scheme to increase the secret key rate of the CVQKD system with orbital angular momentum (OAM). The propagation characteristics of a typical vortex beam, involving the Laguerre–Gaussian (LG) beam, are analyzed in an atmospheric channel for the Kolmogorov turbulence model. Discrete modulation is utilized to extend the maximal transmission distance. We show the effect of the transmittance of the beam over the turbulent channel on the secret key rate and the transmission distance. Numerical simulations indicate that the OAM multiplexing scheme can improve the performance of the CVQKD system and hence has potential use for practical high-rate quantum communications.     

Angular Momentum in Quantum Physics,by L.C. Biedenharn and J.D. Louck

An account is given of the Brillouin scattering of light from liquids. Different contributions to the Brillouin spectrum are discussed and are shown to depend on liquid properties such as sound velocity, viscosity, thermal conductivity, structural relaxation and concentration effects. The importance of these measurements to liquid-state theory is emphasized. Stimulated Brillouin scattering is briefly explained. Finally, the use of the Fabry-Perot interferometer in these experiments is discussed.     

推转PNC波函数的角动量投影

研究原子核较高自旋态的特征,不仅需要考虑K混合,而且应该引入Coriolis相互作用项,亦即使用推转Hamilton量.推转项的引入破坏了时间反演对称性,单粒子角动量在内禀对称轴上的投影量子数已不再是好量子数.从表面上看,这会使得理论计算变得非常复杂,但考虑到原子核的某些固有对称性,将角动量投影技术应用于含推转成份的粒子数守恒波函数(推转PNC波函数)并不十分困难.在这一理论框架下详细推导计算原子核能谱及电磁性质的基本表达式,从而表明实施该方案的可行性.
