Recombination processes in atomic clusters irradiated by superintense femtosecond laser pulses

Various mechanisms of recombination of electrons with multiply charged atomic ions in atomic clusters irradiated by superintense femtosecond laser pulses are discussed. All of the recombination mechanisms are shown to take a time considerably longer than the laser pulse duration and, hence, they can develop only in a homogeneous, fairly rarefied cluster plasma after pulse termination. All autoionization states of multiply charged ions in a dense cluster plasma have been found to be destroyed by the Holtsmark electric field.     

Quantization effects in the plasma universe

It is suggested that a unification of the morphology of the solar system, anomalous intrinsic red shifts of quasars and galaxies, the structure of the hydrogen atom, the Einstein equations of general relativity, and Maxwell's equations can be accomplished by a basic consideration of the minimum-action states of cosmic and/or virtual vacuum field plasmas. A formalism of planetary formation theory leads naturally to a generalization which describes relativistic gravitational field theory in terms of a `pregeometry'. A virtual plasma associated with the vacuum state is postulated. It is demonstrated that the relaxed state of the virtual plasma underlies Einstein's field equation and predicts the proper form for the effective gravitational potential generated by the Schwarzschild solution of those equations. A further extension of the theory demonstrates that it also predicts the structure of the hydrogen atom described in terms of the Schrodinger equation of quantum mechanics. These concepts are applied in an attempt to explain the quantized anomalous red shifts in related galaxies as observed by H. Arp and J.H. Sulentic (1985). A possible unified field theory is suggested based on the above-mentioned concepts     

Neutron spin quantum plasmas – Ferromagnetism as a relaxed state

It is shown that a ferromagnetic “minimum energy relaxed state” is accessible to a neutron fluid. We model the neutron fluid as a spin quantum plasma where the electromagnetic interaction is trough the magnetic moment of the neutron. The neutron ferromagnetism results from the macroscopic spin alignment that occurs due to a profound interplay between the classical and spin quantum vorticities carried by the charge-less neutron fluid. The simplest manifestation of a neutron superfluidity comes about by an exact cancellation of the quantum and classical vorticities to create a helicity free system.

Accessible Information for Equally-Distant Partially-Entangled Alphabet State Resource

We have proposed a quantum system with equally-distant partially-entangled alphabet states which has the minimal mutual overlap and the highly distinguishability,these quantum states are used as the “signal states” of the quantum communication.We have also constructed the positive operator-valued measure for these “signal states” and discussed their entanglement properties and measurement of cntanglement.We calculate the accessible information for these alphabet states and show that the accessible information is closely related to the entanglement of the “signal states”:the higher the entanglement of the “signal states”,the better the accessible information of the quantum system,and the accessible information reaches its maximal value when the alphabet states have their maximal entanglement.

Bloch-like oscillations in a one-dimensional lattice with long-range correlated disorder

We study the dynamics of an electron subjected to a uniform electric field within a tight-binding model with long-range-correlated diagonal disorder. The random distribution of site energies is assumed to have a power spectrum S(k) approximately 1/k(alpha) with alpha>0. de Moura and Lyra [Phys. Rev. Lett. 81, 3735 (1998)]] predicted that this model supports a phase of delocalized states at the band center, separated from localized states by two mobility edges, provided alpha>2. We find clear signatures of Bloch-like oscillations of an initial Gaussian wave packet between the two mobility edges and determine the bandwidth of extended states, in perfect agreement with the zero-field prediction.     

Probing time delay of strong-field resonant above-threshold ionization

The high-resolution three-dimensional photoelectron momentum distributions via above-threshold ionization(ATI)of Xe atoms are measured in an intense near circularly polarized laser field using velocity map imaging and tomography reconstruction. Compared to the linearly polarized laser field, the employed near circularly polarized laser field imposes a more strict selection rule for the transition via resonant excitation, and therefore we can selectively enhance the resonant ATI through certain atomic Rydberg states. Our results show the self-reference ionization delay, which is determined from the difference between the measured streaking angles for nonadiabatic ATI via the 4 f and 5 f Rydberg states, is 45.6 as. Our method provides an accessible route to highlight the role of resonant transition between selected states, which will pave the way for fully understanding the ionization dynamics toward manipulating electron motion as well as reaction in an ultrafast time scale.     

Entropy calculated from the frequency of states of individual particles

Entropy is related to the frequency of states for individual particles. Taking the Ising lattice as an example, a local state for an individual spin is defined by the orientation of the spin and of its neighbors. The ratio of the frequencies of two local states involved in a spin-flipping conflgurational transition is related to an entropy change. Implementation is by computer simulation. A stochastic process is used to construct an initial lattice configuration, corresponding to state of known entropy. This configuration is subsequently relaxed to a desired equilibrium state, with the help of a (uniform Metropolis) Monte Carlo spin flipping and the attendant entropy change is calculated from the sequence of frequency ratios for all transitions. The calculation is approximate since it treats a process that can be described by a hypothetical sequence of states at internal equilibrium, which cannot be true for a relaxation at finite rate. Nonetheless, the results obtained have been quite accurate. The theory, therefore, provides an additional method for measuring the entropy of systems simulated with the help of a computer. It also indicates a practical way for bridging the Boltzmann entropy of individual particle states (which Jaynes has shown to be incorrect, in its original form, for strongly interacting particles), to the Gibbs entropy ofN-particle configurations.

Inference from matrix products: a heuristic spin-glass algorithm

We present an algorithm for finding ground states of two-dimensional spin-glass systems based on ideas from matrix product states in quantum information theory. The algorithm works directly at zero temperature and defines an approximation to the energy whose accuracy depends on a parameter k. We test the algorithm against exact methods on random field and random bond Ising models, and we find that accurate results require a k which scales roughly polynomially with the system size. The algorithm also performs well when tested on small systems with arbitrary interactions, where no fast, exact algorithms exist. The time required is significantly less than Monte Carlo schemes.

Ion Charge Separation in a Multi‐Species Plasma Flowing through a Magnetic Transport System

Energy spectra of ions of various charged states at different cross‐section of a titanium plasma flow produced with a dc vacuum arc were studied. It was established that ions with different charges states were spatially separated during their travel through a plasma transport system based on a curved magnetic field. Ions with greater charge states were concentrated in the inner part of the curved plasma flow, i.e. closer to the centre of curvature of the field lines, so that the average charge state of ions in this area was higher than that at the outer part of the flow. A computer simulation of guiding a multi‐species plasma flow by a curved magnetic field qualitatively agreed with the experimental data. (© 2014 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Quantum computation based on a quantum switch in cavity QED

A feasible scheme for constructing quantum logic gates is proposed on the basis of quantum switches in cavity QED. It is shown that the light field which is fed into the cavity due to the passage of an atom in a certain state can be used to manipulate the conditioned quantum logical gate. In our scheme, the quantum information is encoded in the states of Rydberg atoms and the cavity mode is not used as logical qubits or as a communicating “bus”; thus, the effect of atomic spontaneous emission can be neglected and the strict requirements for the cavity can be relaxed.     

Hall Effects on Magnetic Relaxation

A generalized vorticity is introduced whose self-linkage (the hybrid helicity) and flux are invariants of ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) when the Hall term is included. A model of magnetofluid relaxation is constructed for Hall magnetohydrodynamics by assuming that the energy seeks the minimum value compatible with constrained values of magnetic helicity, hybrid helicity, axial magnetic flux, and fluid vorticity flux. As a result of the coupling of magnetic field to fluid vorticity in the generalized vorticity, it is found that the relaxed magnetic-field configuration need not be force free. The presence of a nonvanishing fluid vorticity is shown to be necessary for the existence of relaxed magnetic-field configurations that confine a finite plasma pressure. The study has potential relevance to the dynamics and morphology of space and cosmic plasmas, as well as to pressure confinement and current drive in fusion plasmas.     

First-principles approach to insulators in finite electric fields

We describe a method for computing the response of an insulator to a static, homogeneous electric field. It consists of iteratively minimizing an electric enthalpy functional expressed in terms of occupied Bloch-like states on a uniform grid of k points. The functional has equivalent local minima below a critical field E(c) that depends inversely on the density of k points; the disappearance of the minima at E(c) signals the onset of Zener breakdown. We illustrate the procedure by computing the piezoelectric and nonlinear dielectric susceptibility tensors of III-V semiconductors.
