Can VMD improve the estimate of the muon g－2?

We show that a VMD based theoretical input allows for a significantly improved accuracy for the hadronic vacuum polarization of the photon which contributes to the theoretical estimate of the muon g-2.We also show that the only experimental piece of information in the τ decay which cannot be accounted for within this VMD framework is the accepted value for Br(τ→ππντ),while the τ spectum lineshape is in agreement with expectations from e+e-annihilations.     

Extension of Linear Response Regime in Weak-Value Amplification Technique

The achievable precision of parameter estimation plays a significant role in evaluating a strategy of metrology.In practice,one may employ approximations in a theoretical model development for simplicity,which,however,will cause systematic error and lead to a loss of precision.We derive the error of maximum likelihood estimation in the weak-value amplification technique where the linear approximation of the coupling parameter is used.We show that this error is positively related to the coupling ...     

One—Dimensional Potentials in q Space

We study one-dimensional potentials in q space and the new features that arise.In particular,we show that the probability of tunnelling of a particle through a barrier or potential step is less than that of the same particle with the same energy in ordinary space which is somehow unexpected.We also show that the tunnelling time for a particle in q space is less than that of the same particle in ordinary space.     

Study of the optimal duty cycle and pumping rate for square-wave amplitude-modulated Bell–Bloom magnetometers

We theoretically and experimentally study the optimal duty cycle and pumping rate for square-wave amplitudemodulated Bell–Bloom magnetometers.The theoretical and the experimental results are in good agreement for duty cycles and corresponding pumping rates ranging over 2 orders of magnitude.Our study gives the maximum field response as a function of duty cycle and pumping rate.Especially,for a fixed duty cycle,the maximum field response is obtained when the time averaged pumping rate,which is the product of pumping rate and duty cycle,is equal to the transverse relaxation rate in the dark.By using a combination of small duty cycle and large pumping rate,one can increase the maximum field response by up to a factor of 2 or π /2,relative to that of the sinusoidal modulation or the 50% duty cycle square-wave modulation respectively.We further show that the same pumping condition is also practically optimal for the sensitivity due to the fact that the signal at resonance is insensitive to the fluctuations of pumping rate and duty cycle.     

Transmission Probability of an Ultracold Atom in the Presence of Atomic Coherence

We investigate the transmission probability of an ultracold V-type three-level atom passing through a micromaser cavity,in the presence of atomic coherence which is established by a coherent driving field.We show that the transmissibility of this micromaser system with the atomic coherence is better than that of the ordinary micromaser system without atomic coherence.When the driving field is strong enough,for any cavity length the ultracold atom can pass through the micromaser cavity freely.     

Source Function Determined from Hanbury—Brown／Twiss Correlations by the Maximum Entropy Principle

We study the reconstruction of the source function in space-time directly from the measured Hanbury-Brown/Twiss (HBT) correlation function using the maximum entropy principle.We find that the problem is ill-defined without at least one additional theoretical constraint as input.Using the requirement of a finite source lifetime for the problem we find a new Gaussian parametrization of the source function directly in terms of the measured HBT radius parameters and its lifetime,where the latter is a free parameter which is not directly measurable by HBT.We discuss the implication of our results for the remaining freed om in building source models consistent with a given set of measured HBT radius parameters.     

Exploring J/ψ Production Mechanism at the Future Electron-Ion Collider

We propose to use transverse momentum p_T distribution of J/ψ production at the future Electron Ion Collider(EIC) to explore the production mechanism of heavy quarkonia in high energy collisions.We apply QCD and QED collinear factorization to the production of a cc pair at high p_T,and non-relativistic QCD factorization to the hadronization of the pair to a J/ψ.We evaluate J/ψ p_T-distribution at both leading and next-to-leading order in strong coupling,and show that production rates for various color-spin channels of a cc pair in electronhadron collisions are very different from that in hadron-hadron collisions,which provides a strong discriminative power to determine various transition rates for the pair to become a J/ψ.We predict that the J/ψ produced in electron-hadron collisions is likely unpolarized,and the production is an ideal probe for gluon distribution of colliding hadron(or nucleus).We find that the J/ψ production is dominated by the color-octet channel,providing an excellent probe to explore the gluon medium in large nuclei at the EIC.     

Storage of a Light Pulse in an Atomic Medium

We perform a full numerical simulation to the electromagnetically induced transparency model in which the control beam is changed adiabatically.The numerical results show the whole process of storage and recovery for the signal pulse.This verifies a recent experiment and the approximate theoretical analysis.     

Pseudogap phenomena in ultracold atomic Fermi gases

The pairing and superfluid phenomena in a two-component ultracold atomic Fermi gas is an analogue of Cooper pairing and superconductivity in an electron system, in particular, the high Tc superconductors. Owing to the various tunable parameters that have been made accessible experimentally in recent years, atomic Fermi gases can be explored as a prototype or quantum sinmlator of superconductors. It is hoped that, utilizing such an analogy, the study of atomic Fermi gases may shed light to the mysteries of high Tc superconductivity. One obstacle to the ultimate understand- ing of high Tc superconductivity, from day one of its discovery, is the anomalous yet widespread pseudogap phenomena, for which a consensus is yet to be reached within the physics comnnmity, after over 27 years of intensive research efforts. In this article, we shall review the progress in the study of pseudogap phenomena in atomic Fermi gases in terms of both theoretical understanding and experimental observations. We show that there is strong, unambiguous evidence for the existence of a pseudogap in strongly interacting Fermi gases. In this context, we shall present a pairing fuctuation theory of the pseudogap physics and show that it is indeed a strong candidate theory for high Tc superconductivity.     

Heterogeneity of Some Cooperation/Competition Properties

We show that the heterogeneity index, which was proposed by Hu and Wang [Physica A 387 （2008） 3769], can be used to describe the disparity of the cooperation sharing or competition gain distributions, which is very important for understanding the dynamics of a cooperation/competition system. An analytical relation between the distribution parameters and the heterogeneity index is derived, which is in good agreement with the empirical results. Our theoretical and empirical analyses also show that the relation between the distribution parameters can be analytically derived from the so-called Zhang-Chang model [Physica A 360 （2006） 599; 383 （2007） 687）. This strongly recommends a possibility to create a general dynamic cooperation/competition model.     

An Intuitive Expression for Inseparability Condition of a Two-Mode Squeezed Vacuum State in a Thermal Environment

Considering the propagation of a two-mode optical field that is initially in a squeezed vacuum state in a thermalenvironment, we obtain an intuitive expression for inseparability condition of the two-mode mixed state which isgiven in the coherent state representation. This condition shows that the two modes have quantum entanglementif and only if the coefficient of the correlation term between the two modes is larger than that of the off-diagonalterm of each mode in the density matrix. We find that even if the quantum channel is dynamically coupled to thethermal environment, the fidelity for teleporting coherent states larger than 1/2 is still the criterion for quantum teleportation. We also show that the entanglement, squeezing and quantum teleportation conditions are alwaysconsistent with each other.     

Dipole–dipole interactions enhance non-Markovianity and protect information against dissipation

Preserving non-Markovianity and quantum entanglement from decoherence effect is of theoretical and practical significance in the quantum information processing technologies.In this context, we study a system S that is initially correlated with an ancilla A, which interacts with the environment E via an amplitude damping channel.We also consider dipole–dipole interactions(DDIs) between the system and ancilla, which are responsible for strong correlations.We investigate the impact of DDIs and detuning on the non-Markovianity and information exchange in different environments.We show that DDIs are not only better than detuning at protecting the information(without destroying the memory effect) but also induce memory by causing a transition from Markovian to non-Markovian dynamics.In contrast, although detuning also protects the information, it causes a transition from non-Markovian to the Markovian dynamics.In addition, we demonstrate that the non-Markovianity grows with increasing DDI strength and diminishes with increasing detuning.We also show that the effects of negative detuning and DDIs can cancel out each other, causing a certain loss of coherence and information.     

Finslerian Perturbation for the ΛCDM Model

We present Finslerian perturbation for the ΛCDM model, which breaks the isotropic symmetry of the universe. The analysis on the Killing vectors shows that the Randers–Finsler spacetime breaks the isotropic symmetry even if the scalar perturbations of the FRW metric vanish. In Randers–Finsler spacetime, the modified geodesic equation deduces a modified Boltzmann equation. We propose a perturbational version of the gravitational field equation in Randers–Finsler spacetime, where we have omitted the curvature tensor that does not belong to the base space of the tangent bundle. The gravitational field equations for the gravitational wave are also presented. The primordial power spectrum of the gravitational wave is investigated. We show that the primordial power spectrum for super-horizon perturbations is unchanged. For sub-horizon perturbations, however, the power spectrum is modified.     

Angular Momentum in the Formation of Disk Galaxies

Within the current framework of disk galaxy formation, we discuss the resulted surface-density profiles according to the theoretical angular momentum distributions (AMDs) presented by Bullock et al. [Astrophys. J.555 (2001) 240(B01)] for the ACDM cosmology in both spherical and cylindric coordinates. It is found that the derived surface density distribution of a disk in the outer region is in general similar to an exponential disk for both the theoretical AMDs. In the central region, the results from both the theoretical AMDs are inconsistent with observations whatever the disk bar-instability is taken into account or not. The cylindric form of the theoretical AMD leads to the bar-instability more easily for a give galaxy than that for spherical AMD, which could result in a more massive bulge. After comparing the model predictions with our Milky Way galaxy, we find that the theoretical AMDs predict larger mass fractions of baryons with low angular momentum than the observed ones, which would lead to the disk sizes to be smaller. Two possible processes which could solve the angular momentum problem are discussed.     

Electron flux distributions in photodetachment of HF~- near an interface: Theoretical imaging method study

The electron flux distributions in the photodetachment of HF- near an interface are studied using a two-center model and the theoretical imaging method. An analytical expression for electron flux distributions is derived, which displays oscillations on an observation plane similar to the recent results published by Wang but in the presence of a static electric field. We also discuss the expressions for soft and hard wall cases in detail. A comparison is made with the previous work. The expression is a more general result, and we can deduce from it the electron flux distributions for the photodetachment of H2- near an interface. Finally, we show that the expression reveals similar results as those in [Chin. Phys. B 19 020306 (2010)] when the wall effect is neglected.     

Controlling Halo-Chaos via Variable Structure Method

We propose a variable structure control method which is another innovative technique for suppressing beam halo-chaos in the periodic focusing channels of high-current proton beam accelerator, which belongs to a high-tech field.The analysis and numerical results show that the method is effective for controlling beam halo-chaos. Physical implementation of such a kind of control strategy remains an important and open issue for further applications.     

Controlled quantum teleportation with Bell states

We propose a new scheme for controlled quantum teleportation with Bell states in which classical keys for controllers’ portion are used. We also discuss the security of the proposed scheme and show that it can satisfy the requirements for controlled quantum teleportation. The comparison between this scheme and the previous ones shows that it is more economical and efficient.     

Closed-loop control of epileptiform activities in a neural population model using a proportional-derivative controller

Epilepsy is believed to be caused by a lack of balance between excitation and inhibitation in the brain. A promising strategy for the control of the disease is closed-loop brain stimulation. How to determine the stimulation control parameters for effective and safe treatment protocols remains, however, an unsolved question. To constrain the complex dynamics of the biological brain, we use a neural population model(NPM). We propose that a proportional-derivative(PD) type closed-loop control can successfully suppress epileptiform activities. First, we determine the stability of root loci, which reveals that the dynamical mechanism underlying epilepsy in the NPM is the loss of homeostatic control caused by the lack of balance between excitation and inhibition. Then, we design a PD type closed-loop controller to stabilize the unstable NPM such that the homeostatic equilibriums are maintained; we show that epileptiform activities are successfully suppressed. A graphical approach is employed to determine the stabilizing region of the PD controller in the parameter space, providing a theoretical guideline for the selection of the PD control parameters. Furthermore, we establish the relationship between the control parameters and the model parameters in the form of stabilizing regions to help understand the mechanism of suppressing epileptiform activities in the NPM. Simulations show that the PD-type closed-loop control strategy can effectively suppress epileptiform activities in the NPM.     

What do we learn from the ρ-π puzzle

The experimental observation indicates that the branching ratio of ψ＇→ρπ is very small while the ρ-π channel is a main one in J/ψ decays. To understand the puzzle, various interpretations have been proposed. Meanwhile according to the hadronic helicity selection rule, this decay mode should be suppressed. Numerical calculations are needed to determine how it is suppressed. We calculate the branching ratios of J/ψ→ρπ and ππ in the framework of QCD. The results show that the branching ratios are proportional to （mu＋md/MJ/ψ）^2 for the ρπ mode and （mu-md/MJ/ψ）^2 for the ππ mode which is isospin violated. The theoretical prediction of the ratio of J/ ψ→ρπ is smaller than data, but not too small to invoke a completely new mechanism. Thus the puzzle is still standing even though we learn much knowledge towards the puzzle and this will help to finally interpret the puzzle and then gain a deeper insight to the heavy quarkonia.
