A Note on Quantum Coherence

In this paper, we discuss the coherence of the reduced state in system H _A ?H _B under taking different quantum operations acting on subsystem H _B . Firstly, we show that for a pure bipartite state, the coherence of the final subsystem H _A under the sum of two orthonormal rank 1 projections acting on H _B is less than or equal to the sum of the coherence of the state after two orthonormal projections acting on H _B , respectively. Secondly, we obtain that the coherence of reduced state in subsystem H _A under random unitary channel \({\Phi }(\rho )={\sum }_{s}\lambda _{s}U_{s}\rho U_{s}^{\ast }\) acting on H _B , is equal to the coherence of the state after each operation \({\Phi }_{s}(\rho )=\lambda _{s}U_{s}\rho U_{s}^{\ast }\) acting on H _B for every s. In addition, for general quantum operation \({\Phi }(\rho )={\sum }_{s}F_{s}\rho F_{s}^{\ast }\) on H _B , we get the relation

$$ C\left (\left ((I\otimes {\Phi })\rho ^{AB}\right )^{A}\right )\leq \sum \limits _{s}C\left (\left ((I\otimes {\Phi }_{s})\rho ^{AB}\right )^{A}\right ). $$

     

Fluctuations and a rigorous uncertainty relation of trigonometric operators of the phase and the number of photons of an electromagnetic field for general quantum superpositions of coherent states

The quantum-statistical properties of states of an electromagnetic field of general superpositions of coherent states of the form of N _α,β(α?+e ^iξ β? are investigated. Formulas for the fluctuations (variances) of Hermitian trigonometric phase field operators ? ≡ côs φ, ? ≡ sîn φ (the so-called “Susskind–Glogower operators”) are found. Expressions for the rigorous uncertainty relations (Cauchy inequalities) for operators of the number of photons and trigonometric phase operators, as well as for operators ? and ?, are found and analyzed. The states of amplitude \({N_{\alpha ,\beta }}\left( {\left| {{{\sqrt {ne} }^{i\varphi }}\rangle + {e^{i\xi }}\left| {{{\sqrt {{n_\beta }e} }^{i\varphi }}\rangle } \right.} \right.} \right)\), φ = φ_α = φ_β, and phase \({N_{\alpha ,\beta }}\left( {\left| {{{\sqrt {ne} }^{i{\varphi _\alpha }}}\rangle + {e^{i\xi }}\left| {{{\sqrt {ne} }^{i{\varphi _\beta }}}\rangle } \right.} \right.} \right)\), n = n _α = n _β, superpositions of coherent states are considered separately. The types of quantum superpositions of meso- and macroscales (n _α, n _β » 1) are found for which the sines and/or cosines of the phase of the field can be measured accurately, since, under certain conditions, the quantum fluctuations of these quantities are close to zero. A simultaneous accurate measurement of cosφ and sinφ is possible for amplitude superpositions, while an accurate measurement of one of these trigonometric phase functions is possible in the case of certain phase superpositions. Amplitude superpositions of coherent states with a vacuum state are quantum states of the field with a “maximum” level of the quantum uncertainty both in the case of a mesoscopic scale and in the case of a macroscopic scale of the field with an average number of photons n _α/β ≈ 0, n _β/α » 1.     

Associated Production of the Charged and Neutral Higgs Bosons at the ILC within the Higgs Triplet Model

The Higgs Triplet Model (HTM) predicts the existences of the extra neutral scalars H_i(H_i = H, A) and the charged Higgs bosons (H^± and H^±±). In this work, we make a systematic investigation for the associated production of the singly-charged and neutral Higgs bosons via the processes: \(e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow H^{+}W^{-}H\) and \(e^{+}e^{-}\rightarrow H^{+}W^{-}A\). From the numerical evaluations for the production cross sections and relevant phenomenological analysis we find that (i) the production rates of these processes can reach the level of several fb with reasonable parameter values; (ii) due to the large production rates and small backgrounds, the signals of these scalars might be detected via these processes at the future ILC experiments; and (iii) for the case of \(m_{H_{i}}> m_{H^{\pm }}> m_{H^{\pm \pm }}\), the cascade decay modes \(H_{i}\to H^{\pm }W^{\mp \ast }\) with \(H^{\pm }\to H^{\pm \pm }W^{\mp \ast }\) would lead to production of H⁺⁺H^?? accompanied by several virtual W bosons. Such characteristic feature can help us to distinguish the HTM from the Two-Higgs-Doublet Model (2HDM) and the Minimal Supersymmetric Model (MSSM).     

A Minkowski Type Trace Inequality and Strong Subadditivity of Quantum Entropy II: Convexity and Concavity

We revisit and prove some convexity inequalities for trace functions conjectured in this paper’s antecedent. The main functional considered is

$ \Phi_{p,q} (A_1,\, A_2, \ldots, A_m) = \left({\rm Tr}\left[\left( \, {\sum\limits_{j=1}^m A_j^p } \, \right) ^{q/p} \right] \right)^{1/q} $

for m positive definite operators A _j . In our earlier paper, we only considered the case q = 1 and proved the concavity of Φ _p,1 for 0 < p ≤ 1 and the convexity for p = 2. We conjectured the convexity of Φ _p,1 for 1 < p < 2. Here we not only settle the unresolved case of joint convexity for 1 ≤ p ≤ 2, we are also able to include the parameter q ≥ 1 and still retain the convexity. Among other things this leads to a definition of an L ^q (L ^p ) norm for operators when 1 ≤ p ≤ 2 and a Minkowski inequality for operators on a tensor product of three Hilbert spaces – which leads to another proof of strong subadditivity of entropy. We also prove convexity/concavity properties of some other, related functionals.

     

On the structure of the von Neumann algebras generated by local functions of the free bose field

It is shown that the von Neumann algebra\(R_\mathfrak{B} \)(B) generated by any scalar local functionB(x) of the free fieldA ₀(x) is equal either to\(R_\mathfrak{B} \)(A ₀) or to\(R_\mathfrak{B} \)(:A ₀ ² :). The latter statement holds if the state space space\(\mathfrak{H}_B \) obtained from the vacuum state by repeated application ofB(x) is orthogonal to the one particle subspace. In the proof of these statements, space-time limiting techniques are used.     

Symmetries of the pseudo-diffusion equation and related topics

We show in details how to determine and identify the algebra g = {A_i} of the infinitesimal symmetry operators of the following pseudo-diffusion equation (PSDE) LQ ≡ \(\left[ {\frac{\partial }{{\partial t}} - \frac{1}{4}\left( {\frac{{{\partial ^2}}}{{\partial {x^2}}} - \frac{1}{{{t^2}}}\frac{{{\partial ^2}}}{{\partial {p^2}}}} \right)} \right]\) Q(x, p, t) = 0. This equation describes the behavior of the Q functions in the (x, p) phase space as a function of a squeeze parameter y, where t = e ^2y. We illustrate how G _i(λ) ≡ exp[λA _i] can be used to obtain interesting solutions. We show that one of the symmetry generators, A ₄, acts in the (x, p) plane like the Lorentz boost in (x, t) plane. We construct the Anti-de-Sitter algebra so(3, 2) from quadratic products of 4 of the A _i, which makes it the invariance algebra of the PSDE. We also discuss the unusual contraction of so(3, 1) to so(1, 1)? h². We show that the spherical Bessel functions I ₀(z) and K ₀(z) yield solutions of the PSDE, where z is scaling and “twist” invariant.     

Higher recurrences for Apostol-Bernoulli-Euler numbers

We present explicit formulas for sums of products of Apostol-Bernoulli and Apostol-Euler numbers of the form

$\sum\limits_{_{m_1 , \cdots ,m_N \geqslant n}^{m_1 + \cdots + m_N = n} } {\left( {_{m_1 , \cdots m_N }^n } \right)B_{m_1 } (q) \cdots B_{m_N } (q),} \sum\limits_{_{m_1 , \cdots ,m_N \geqslant n}^{m_1 + \cdots + m_N = n} } {\left( {_{m_1 , \cdots m_N }^n } \right)E_{m_1 } (q) \cdots E_{m_N } (q),}$

where N and n are positive integers, B _m (q) _n stand for the Apostol-Bernoulli numbers, E _m (q) for the Apostol-Euler numbers, and \(\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} n \\ {m_1 , \cdots ,m_N } \\ \end{array} } \right) = \frac{{n!}}{{m_1 ! \cdots m_N !}}.\) Our formulas involve Stirling numbers of the first kind. We also derive results for Apostol-Bernoulli and Apostol-Euler polynomials. As an application, for q = 1 we recover results of Dilcher, and our paper can be regarded as a q-extension of that of Dilcher.

     

Collision Index and Stability of Elliptic Relative Equilibria in Planar {n}-body Problem

In this article, we construct three new holomorphic vertex operator algebras of central charge 24 using the \({\mathbb{Z}_{2}}\)-orbifold construction associated to inner automorphisms. Their weight one subspaces have the Lie algebra structures D_7,3A_3,1G_2,1, E_7,3A_5,1, and \({A_{8,3}A_{2,1}^2}\). In addition, we discuss the constructions of holomorphic vertex operator algebras with Lie algebras A_5,6C_2,3A_1,2 and \({D_{6,5}A_{1,1}^2}\) from holomorphic vertex operator algebras with Lie algebras C_5,3G_2,2A_1,1 and \({A_{4,5}^2}\), respectively.     

Stable and Unstable Vortex Knots in a Trapped Bose Condensate

The dynamics of a quantum vortex toric knot T_P,Q and other analogous knots in an atomic Bose condensate at zero temperature in the Thomas–Fermi regime is considered in the hydrodynamic approximation. The condensate has a spatially inhomogeneous equilibrium density profile ρ(z, r) due to the action of an external axisymmetric potential. It is assumed that z_*= 0, r_*= 1 is the point of maximum of function rρ(z, r), so that δ(rρ) ≈ –(α–)z²/2–(α + )(δr)²/2 for small z and δr. The geometrical configuration of a knot in the cylindrical coordinates is determined by a complex 2πP-periodic function A(?, t) = Z(?, t) + i[R(?, t))–1]. When |A| ? 1, the system can be described by relatively simple approximate equations for P rescaled functions \({W_n}(\varphi ) \propto A(2\pi n + \varphi ):i{W_{n,t}} = - ({W_{n,\varphi \varphi }} + \alpha {W_n} - \in W_n^*)/2 - \sum\nolimits_{j \ne n} {1/(W_n^* - W_j^*)} \). For = 0, examples of stable solutions of type W _n = θ _n (?–γt)exp(–iωt) with a nontrivial topology are found numerically for P = 3. In addition, the dynamics of various unsteady knots with P = 3 is modeled, and the tendency to the formation of a singularity over a finite time interval is observed in some cases. For P = 2 and small ≠ 0, configurations of type W₀–W₁ ≈ B₀exp(iζ) + C(B₀, α)exp(–iζ) + D(B₀, α)exp(3iζ), where B₀ > 0 is an arbitrary constant, ζ = k₀?–Ω₀t + ζ0, k₀ = Q/2, and Ω₀ = (–α)/2–2/B₀², which rotate about the z axis, are investigated. Wide stability regions for such solutions are detected in the space of parameters (α, B₀). In unstable zones, a vortex knot may return to a weakly excited state.     

Applications of the Stroboscopic Tomography to Selected 2-Level Decoherence Models

In the paper we discuss possible applications of the so-called stroboscopic tomography (stroboscopic observability) to selected decoherence models of 2-level quantum systems. The main assumption behind our reasoning claims that the time evolution of the analyzed system is given by a master equation of the form \(\dot {\rho } = \mathbb {L} \rho \) and the macroscopic information about the system is provided by the mean values m _i (t _j ) = T r(Q _i ρ(t _j )) of certain observables \(\{Q_{i}\}_{i=1}^{r} \) measured at different time instants \(\{t_{j}\}_{j=1}^{p}\). The goal of the stroboscopic tomography is to establish the optimal criteria for observability of a quantum system, i.e. minimal value of r and p as well as the properties of the observables \(\{Q_{i}\}_{i=1}^{r} \).     

Parametrization of supersingular perturbations in the method of rigged Hilbert spaces

A classification of bounded below supersingular perturbations à of a self-adjoint operator A ? 1 is suggested. In the A-scale of Hilbert spaces \(\mathcal{H}_{ - k} \sqsupset \mathcal{H} \sqsupset \mathcal{H}_k \) = Dom A ^k/2, k > 0, a parametrization of operators à in terms of bounded mappings S: \(\mathcal{H}_k \to \mathcal{H}_{ - k} \) such that ker S is dense in \(\mathcal{H}_{k/2} \) is obtained.     

Phase Diagram of a Generalized ABC Model on the Interval

We study the equilibrium phase diagram of a generalized ABC model on an interval of the one-dimensional lattice: each site i=1,…,N is occupied by a particle of type α=A,B,C, with the average density of each particle species N _α /N=r _α fixed. These particles interact via a mean field nonreflection-symmetric pair interaction. The interaction need not be invariant under cyclic permutation of the particle species as in the standard ABC model studied earlier. We prove in some cases and conjecture in others that the scaled infinite system N→∞, i/N→x∈[0,1] has a unique density profile ρ _α (x) except for some special values of the r _α for which the system undergoes a second order phase transition from a uniform to a nonuniform periodic profile at a critical temperature \(T_{c}=3\sqrt{r_{A} r_{B} r_{C}}/2\pi\).     

Polarized angular distributions in the decays of the singlet D2 state of charmonium originating from $\bar{p}p$ collisions

Using the helicity formalism, we calculate the combined angular distribution function of the neutral pion (π ⁰) and the polarized electron (e ^?) and photon (γ) produced in the triple cascade process \(\bar{p}+p\rightarrow{}^{1}D_{2}\rightarrow{}^{1}P_{1}+\gamma\rightarrow(\psi +\pi^{0})+\gamma \rightarrow(e^{-}+e^{+})+\pi^{0}+\gamma\), when \(\bar{p}\) and p are unpolarized. We also present the partially integrated angular distribution functions in three different cases where the combined angular distribution function of the three particles is integrated over the direction of one of the particles. Our results show that by measuring the two-particle angular distribution of the electron and the photon with the polarization of either particle, one can determine the relative magnitudes as well as the relative phases of all the angular-momentum helicity amplitudes in the two decay processes ¹ D ₂→¹ P ₁+γ and ¹ P ₁→ψ+π ⁰.     

Four-Leptonic Decays of Charged and Neutral <Emphasis Type="Italic">B</Emphasis> Mesons within the Standard Model

The branching ratios and differential distributions for the four-leptonic decays \({B^ - } \to {\mu ^ + }{\mu ^ - }{\bar v_e}{e^ - }\), \({B^ - } \to {e^ + }{e^ - }{\bar v_\mu }{\mu ^ - }\), and \({B^ - } \to {\mu ^ + }{\bar v_\mu }{\mu ^ - }{\mu ^ - }\) are calculated within the Standard Model. The branching ratios for the rare decays B_d,s → e⁺e^?μ⁺μ^? and B_d,s → μ⁺μ^?μ⁺μ^? are estimated. Methods for testing the lepton universality in rare multileptonic decays of charged and neutral B mesons are proposed.     

Quintessence Reissner Nordström Anti de Sitter Black Holes and Joule Thomson Effect

In this work we investigate corrections of the quintessence regime of the dark energy on the Joule-Thomson (JT) effect of the Reissner Nordström anti de Sitter (RNAdS) black hole. The quintessence dark energy has equation of state as p _q = ωρ _q in which \(-1<\omega <-\frac {1}{3}\). Our calculations are restricted to ansatz: ω = ??1 (the cosmological constant regime) and \(\omega =-\frac {2}{3}\) (quintessence dark energy). To study the JT expansion of the AdS gas under the constant black hole mass, we calculate inversion temperature T _i of the quintessence RNAdS black hole where its cooling phase is changed to heating phase at a particular (inverse) pressure P _i . Position of the inverse point {T _i , P _i } is determined by crossing the inverse curves with the corresponding Gibbons-Hawking temperature on the T-P plan. We determine position of the inverse point versus different numerical values of the mass M and the charge Q of the quintessence AdS RN black hole. The cooling-heating phase transition (JT effect) is happened for M > Q in which the causal singularity is still covered by the horizon. Our calculations show sensitivity of the inverse point {T _i , P _i } position on the T-P plan to existence of the quintessence dark energy just for large numerical values of the AdS RN black holes charge Q. In other words the quintessence dark energy dose not affect on position of the inverse point when the AdS RN black hole takes on small charges.     

The Quantum Superalgebra {\mathfrak{osp}_{q}(1|2)} and a q-Generalization of the Bannai–Ito Polynomials

The Racah problem for the quantum superalgebra \({\mathfrak{osp}_{q}(1|2)}\) is considered. The intermediate Casimir operators are shown to realize a q-deformation of the Bannai–Ito algebra. The Racah coefficients of \({\mathfrak{osp}_q(1|2)}\) are calculated explicitly in terms of basic orthogonal polynomials that q-generalize the Bannai–Ito polynomials. The relation between these q-deformed Bannai–Ito polynomials and the q-Racah/Askey–Wilson polynomials is discussed.     

The spectral class of the quantum-mechanical harmonic oscillator

The purpose of this paper is to study the so-calledspectral class Q of anharmonic oscillatorsQ=?D ²+q having the same spectrum λ _n =2n (n≧0) as the harmonic oscillatorQ ⁰=?D ²+x ²?1. Thenorming constants \(t_n = \mathop {\lim }\limits_{x \uparrow \infty } \ell g[( - 1)^n {{e_n (x)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{e_n (x)} {e_n }}} \right. \kern-0em} {e_n }}( - x)]\) of the eigenfunctions ofQ form a complete set of coordinates inQ in terms of which the potential may be expressed asq=x ²?1?2D ² ?g? with $$\theta = \det \left[ {\delta _{ij} + (e^{ti} - 1)\int\limits_x^\infty {e_i^0 e_j^0 :0 \leqq i,j,< \infty } } \right],$$ e _n ⁰ being then ^th eigenfunctionQ ⁰. The spectrum and norming constants are canonically conjugate relative to the bracket [F, G]=∫ΔFDΔGdx,to wit: [λ _i , λj=0, [t _i, 2λ _j ]=1 or 0 according to whetheri=j or not, and [t _i,t _j]=0. This prompts an investigation of the symplectic geometry ofQ. The function ? is related to the theta function of a singular algebraic curve. Numerical results are also presented.     

The convergence behaviour of expansions in the classical collision theory

In the classical collision theory the scattering angle? depends on the impact parameterb and on the kinetic energyE _r of the relative motion. This angle?(b, E _r ) is expanded for two limiting cases: 1. Expansion in powers of the potentialV(r)/E _r (momentum approximation). 2. Expansion in powers of the impact parameterb (central collision approximation). The radius of convergence of the series depends onb andE _r . It will be given for the following potentialsV(r):

$$A\left( {\frac{a}{r}} \right)^\mu ;Ae^{ - \frac{r}{a}} ;A\frac{a}{r}e^{ - \frac{r}{a}} ;A\left( {\frac{a}{r}} \right)^2 e^{ - \left( {\frac{r}{a}} \right)^2 } .$$     

Ghost Dark Energy with Non-Linear Interaction Term

Here we investigate ghost dark energy (GDE) in the presence of a non-linear interaction term between dark matter and dark energy. To this end we take into account a general form for the interaction term. Then we discuss about different features of three choices of the non-linear interacting GDE. In all cases we obtain equation of state parameter, w _D = p/ρ, the deceleration parameter and evolution equation of the dark energy density parameter (Ω _D ). We find that in one case, w _D cross the phantom line (w _D < ?1). However in two other classes w _D can not cross the phantom divide. The coincidence problem can be solved in these models completely and there exist good agreement between the models and observational values of w _D , q. We study squared sound speed \({v_{s}^{2}}\), and find that for one case of non-linear interaction term \({v_{s}^{2}}\) can achieves positive values at late time of evolution.
