On the Relaxation of the Energy Distribution Function of Light Particles in Heavy Gases

A stochastic approach to the thermalization problem of light particles in heavy gases is discussed which presents a number of advantages with respect to more conventional techniques. The procedure is used to study the relaxation of the distribution function in cold gases in two situations in which: i) only first order terms are retained and ii) second order terms are also included, with respect to the ratio m/M between light-particle mass m and atomic mass M.     

Quantum Differences between Heavy and Light Water

The structures of heavy and light water at ambient conditions are investigated with the combined techniques of x-ray diffraction, neutron diffraction, and computer simulation. It is found that heavy water is a more structured liquid than light water. We find the OH bond length in H2O is approximately 3% longer than the OD bond length in D2O. This is a much larger change than current predictions. Corresponding to this, the hydrogen bond in light water is approximately 4% shorter than in heavy water, while the intermolecular HH distance is approximately 2% longer.     

Bell's Inequality for a System Composed of Particles with Different Spins

For two particles with different spins, we derive the Bell's inequality. The inequality is investigated for two systems combining spin-1 and spin-1/2; spin-1/2 and spin-3/2. We show that for these states Bell's inequality is violated.     

Quantum Entanglement Dynamics of Two Atoms in Quantum Light Sources

Quantum entanglement dynamics of two Tavis-Cummings atoms interacting with the quantum light sources in a cavity is investigated. The results show the phenomenon that the concurrence disappears abruptly in a finite time, which depends on the initial atomic states and the properties of squeezed states. We find that there are two decoherence-free states in squeezed vacuum fields: one is the singlet state, and the other entangled state is the state
that combines both excited states and ground states with a relative phase being equal to the phase of the squeezed state.     

On the Finite Energy Weak Solutions to a System in Quantum Fluid Dynamics

In this paper we consider the global existence of weak solutions to a class of Quantum Hydrodynamics (QHD) systems with initial data, arbitrarily large in the energy norm. These type of models, initially proposed by Madelung [44], have been extensively used in Physics to investigate Superfluidity and Superconductivity phenomena [19,38] and more recently in the modeling of semiconductor devices [20] . Our approach is based on various tools, namely the wave functions polar decomposition, the construction of approximate solution via a fractional steps method which iterates a Schrödinger Madelung picture with a suitable wave function updating mechanism. Therefore several a priori bounds of energy, dispersive and local smoothing type, allow us to prove the compactness of the approximating sequences. No uniqueness result is provided.     

Mass Spectra of Heavy and Light Mesons Using Asymptotic Iteration Method

The non-relativistic radial Schrödinger equation is analytically solved using asymptotic iteration method within the framework of a general interaction potential whose special cases are the Cornell and Cornell plus harmonic potentials. The energy eigenvalues expression is derived in three dimensional space, which is further used to calculate the mass spectra of cc, bb, bc, cs, bs and bq mesons. The obtained results of this work are in good agreement with experimental and other relativistic results and also improved in comparison with other non-relativistic recent studies.

Entanglement Dynamics in a Model Tripartite Quantum System

A Λ-type atom interacting with two radiation fields exhibits electromagnetically induced transparency and other nonclassical effects that appear in the entanglement dynamics of the atomic subsystem and in appropriate field observables. Both EIT and field-atom entanglement are important for quantum information processing. We investigate the roles played by specific initial field states, detuning parameters, field nonlinearities and intensity-dependent field-atom couplings on EIT and the entanglement between subsystems. Departure from coherence of the initial field states produces significant effects. We investigate these aspects in a model that exhibits the salient features of entangled tripartite systems. For initial photon-added coherent states, collapses and revivals of the atomic subsystem von Neumann entropy appear as the intensity parameter varies over a narrow range of values. These features could be useful in enabling entanglement.     

On the Quantum Mechanical Scattering Statistics of Many Particles

The probability of a quantum particle being detected in a given solid angle is determined by the S-matrix. The explanation of this fact in time-dependent scattering theory is often linked to the quantum flux, since the quantum flux integrated against a (detector-) surface and over a time interval can be viewed as the probability that the particle crosses this surface within the given time interval. Regarding many particle scattering, however, this argument is no longer valid, as each particle arrives at the detector at its own random time. While various treatments of this problem can be envisaged, here we present a straightforward Bohmian analysis of many particle potential scattering from which the S-matrix probability emerges in the limit of large distances.     

Dynamics of Super Quantum Correlations and Quantum Correlations for a System of Three Qubits

The dynamics of quantum discord for two qubits independently interacting with dephasing reservoirs have been studied recently.The authors [Phys.Rev.A 88(2013) 034304] found that for some Bell-diagonal states(BDS)which interact with their environments the calculation of quantum discord could experience a sudden transition in its dynamics,this phenomenon is known as the sudden change.Here in the present paper,we analyze the dynamics of normal quantum discord and super quantum discord for tripartite Bell-diagonal states independently interacting with dephasing reservoirs.Then,we find that basis change does not necessary mean sudden change of quantum correlations.     

光纤耦合双光学腔系统的相干动力学

为了研究量子相干性在腔量子电动力学系统中的动力学和分布特性,基于两个各自捕获原子系综的光学腔建立了双光学腔系统,腔与腔之间由光纤耦合.利用相对熵度量的量子相干性,引入量子相干非平衡性的概念,分析了系统中相干动力学和光纤-腔耦合强度对相干性分布的影响.结果表明:在强耦合极限下,光纤-腔耦合强度的增加有利于保持两腔中的原子的整体相干性;光纤-腔耦合强度、原子-腔耦合强度以及原子数三个参数之间满足特定条件时,腔内的原子相干性可以传输至另一个腔.考虑腔、光纤及原子都存在耗散的情形,对比了不同耗散速率和非耗散情形下的相干性演化,发现耗散使得耦合双腔系统的相干性以及各个腔中的原子相干性发生衰减.

On a Recent Proposal of Faster than Light Quantum Communication

In a recent paper, A.Y. Shiekh has discussed an experimental set-up which, in his opinion, should make possible faster-than-light communication using the collapse of the quantum wave function. Contrary to the many proposals which have been presented in the past, he does not resort to an entangled state of two systems but he works with a single particle in a superposition of two states—corresponding to its propagation in opposite directions—one of which goes through an appropriate interferometer. The possibility for an observer near the interferometer to introduce or not, at his free will, a phase shifter along one of the paths should allow to change instantaneously the probability of finding the particle in the far-away region corresponding to the other state of the superposition and, correspondingly, to change the intensity of a beam of particles reaching a distant observer. In this paper we show a flaw in the argument: once more, as it has been proved in full generality a long time ago, the process of wave packet reduction cannot be used for superluminal communication.

激光淬火温度场及材料性能的数值模拟

The nonadiabatic geometric phase(AA phase) generating in the quantum system consisting of a single-mode or many-mode cavity field with a quantized oscillating-mirror has been discussed. The result shows that such a phase only depends on the intensity of the cavity field but not on its photon statistics, which contrasts to these occuring in a Kerr-like medium.
