Phase Space Analysis of the Two-mode Binomial State Produced by Quantum Entanglement in a Beamsplitter

Phase space analysis of quantum states is a newly developed topic in quantum optics. In this work we present Wigner phase space distributions for the two-mode binomial state produced by quantum entanglement between a vacuum state and a number state in a beamsplitter. By using two new binomial formulas involving two-variable Hermite polynomials and the so-called entangled Wigner operator, we find that the analytical Wigner function for the binomial state |ξ〉_q ≡ D(ξ) |q, 0〉 is related to a Laguerre polynomial, i.e.,

$ W\left (\sigma _{,}\gamma \right ) =\frac {(-1)^{q}e^{-\left \vert \gamma \right \vert ^{2}-\left \vert \sigma \right \vert ^{2}}}{\pi ^{2}}L_{q}\left (\left \vert \frac {-\varsigma (\sigma -\gamma )+\sigma ^{\ast }+\gamma ^{\ast }} {\sqrt {1+|\varsigma |^{2}}}\right \vert ^{2}\right ) $

and its marginal distributions are proportional to the module-square of a single-variable Hermite polynomial. Also, the numerical results show that the larger number sum q of two modes lead to the stronger interference effect and the nonclassicality of the states |ξ〉_q is stronger for odd q than for even q.

     

Coherent pion production in neutrino and antineutrino interactions on nuclei of heavy freon molecules

Studying the coherent diffractive production of pions in neutrino and antineutrino scattering off the nuclei of freon molecules we have observed for the first time in one experiment all three states of the isospin triplet of the axial part of the weak charged and neutral currents. For the corresponding cross sections we derive $$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {\sigma _{coh}^v (\pi ^ + ) = (106 \pm 16) \cdot 10^{ - 40} {{cm^2 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{cm^2 } {\left\langle {nucl.} \right\rangle }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left\langle {nucl.} \right\rangle }}} \\ {\sigma _{coh}^{\bar v} (\pi ^ - ) = (113 \pm 35) \cdot 10^{ - 40} {{cm^2 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{cm^2 } {\left\langle {nucl.} \right\rangle }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left\langle {nucl.} \right\rangle }}and} \\ {\sigma _{coh}^v (\pi ^0 ) = (52 \pm 19) \cdot 10^{ - 40} {{cm^2 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{cm^2 } {\left\langle {nucl.} \right\rangle }}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\left\langle {nucl.} \right\rangle }}} \\ \end{array} $$ . Comparing our data with theoretical predictions based on the standard model of weak interactions we find reasonable agreement. Independently from any model of coherent pion production we determine the isovector axial vector coupling constant to be |β|=0.99±0.20.     

Universal estimate of the gap for the Kac operator in the convex case

The aim of this paper is to prove that ifV is a strictly convex potential with quadratic behavior at ∞, then the quotient μ₂/μ₁ between the largest eigenvalue and the second eigenvalue of the Kac operator defined on L²(? ^m ) by exp ?V(x)/2 · exp Δ_x · exp ?V(x)/2 where Δ_x is the Laplacian on ? ^m satisfies the condition: $${{\mu _2 } \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{\mu _2 } {\mu _1 {{ \leqslant \exp - \cosh ^{ - 1} (\sigma + 1)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{ \leqslant \exp - \cosh ^{ - 1} (\sigma + 1)} {2,}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {2,}}}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {\mu _1 {{ \leqslant \exp - \cosh ^{ - 1} (\sigma + 1)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{ \leqslant \exp - \cosh ^{ - 1} (\sigma + 1)} {2,}}} \right. \kern-\nulldelimiterspace} {2,}}}}$$ where σ is such that HessV(x)≥σ>0.     

One-range Addition Theorems for Noninteger n Slater Functions using Complete Orthonormal Sets of Exponential Type Orbitals in Standard Convention

By the use of complete orthonormal sets of ${\psi ^{(\alpha^{\ast})}}$ -exponential type orbitals ( ${\psi ^{(\alpha^{\ast})}}$ -ETOs) with integer (for α ^* = α) and noninteger self-frictional quantum number α ^*(for α ^* ≠ α) in standard convention introduced by the author, the one-range addition theorems for ${\chi }$ -noninteger n Slater type orbitals ${(\chi}$ -NISTOs) are established. These orbitals are defined as follows $$\begin{array}{ll}\psi _{nlm}^{(\alpha^*)} (\zeta ,\vec {r}) = \frac{(2\zeta )^{3/2}}{\Gamma (p_l ^* + 1)} \left[{\frac{\Gamma (q_l ^* + )}{(2n)^{\alpha ^*}(n - l - 1)!}} \right]^{1/2}e^{-\frac{x}{2}}x^{l}_1 F_1 ({-[ {n - l - 1}]; p_l ^* + 1; x})S_{lm} (\theta ,\varphi )\\ \chi _{n^*lm} (\zeta ,\vec {r}) = (2\zeta )^{3/2}\left[ {\Gamma(2n^* + 1)}\right]^{{-1}/2}x^{n^*-1}e^{-\frac{x}{2}}S_{lm}(\theta ,\varphi ),\end{array}$$ where ${x=2\zeta r, 0<\zeta <\infty , p_l ^{\ast}=2l+2-\alpha ^{\ast}, q_l ^{\ast}=n+l+1-\alpha ^{\ast}, -\infty <\alpha ^{\ast} <3 , -\infty <\alpha \leq 2,_1 F_1 }$ is the confluent hypergeometric function and ${S_{lm} (\theta ,\varphi )}$ are the complex or real spherical harmonics. The origin of the ${\psi ^{(\alpha ^{\ast})} }$ -ETOs, therefore, of the one-range addition theorems obtained in this work for ${\chi}$ -NISTOs is the self-frictional potential of the field produced by the particle itself. The obtained formulas can be useful especially in the electronic structure calculations of atoms, molecules and solids when Hartree–Fock–Roothan approximation is employed.

A measurement of semileptonic B decaysto narrow orbitally-excited charm mesons

The decay chain is identified in a sample of 3.9 million hadronic Z decays collected with the OPAL detector at LEP. The branching ratio BR is measured to be for the J ^P =1⁺ (D⁰ ₁) state. For decays into the J ^P =2⁺ (D₂ ^*0) state, an upper limit of 1.4 x 10^-3 is placed on the branching ratio at the 95% confidence level.Received: 20 December 2002, Revised: 15 April 2003, Published online: 12 September 2003     

Stereodynamics study of reactions N(~2D)+HD→NH+D and ND+H

The product polarizations of the title reactions are investigated by employing the quasi-classical trajectory (QCT) method. The four generalized polarization-dependent differential cross-sections (PDDCSs) $({2\pi } / \sigma )(\d\sigma _{00} / \d\omega _t )$, $({2\pi } / \sigma )(\d\sigma _{20} / \d\omega _t )$, $({2\pi } / \sigma )(\d\sigma _{22 + } / \d\omega _t )$, and $({2\pi } / \sigma )(\d\sigma _{21 - } / \d\omega _t )$ are calculated in the centre-of-mass frame. The distribution of the angle between ${{\bm k}}$ and ${{\bm j^\prime }}$, $P(\theta _r )$, the distribution of the dihedral angle denoting ${{\bm k}}${--}$\bm k^\prime $--$\bm j^\prime $ correlation, $P(\phi _r )$, as well as the angular distribution of product rotational vectors in the form of polar plots $P(\theta _r ,\phi _r )$ are calculated. The isotope effect is also revealed and primarily attributed to the difference in mass factor between the two title reactions.     

Gleichzeitige Messung von Hyperfeinstruktur,Starkeffekt und Zeemaneffekt des23Na19F mit einer Molekülstrahl-Resonanzapparatur

An electric molecular beam resonance spectrometer has been used to measure simultaneously the Zeeman- and Stark-effect splitting of the hyperfine structure of²³Na¹⁹F. Electric four pole lenses served as focusing and refocusing fields of the spectrometer. A homogenous magnetic field (Zeeman field) was superimposed to the electric field (Stark field) in the transition region of the apparatus. The observed (Δm _J=±1)-transitions were induced electrically. Completely resolved spectra of NaF in theJ=1 rotational state have been measured in several vibrational states. The obtained quantities are: The electric dipolmomentμ _el of the molecule forv=0, 1 and 2, the rotational magnetic dipolmomentμ _J forv=0, 1, the difference of the magnetic shielding (σ _⊥-σ _‖) by the electrons of both nuclei as well as the difference of the molecular susceptibility (ξ _⊥-ξ _‖), the spin rotational constantsc _F andc _Na, the scalar and the tensor part of the molecular spin-spin interaction, the quadrupol interactione q Q forv=0, 1 and 2. The numerical values are

Heuristic Relative Entropy Principles with Complex Measures: Large-Degree Asymptotics of a Family of Multi-variate Normal Random Polynomials

Let \(z\in \mathbb {C}\), let \(\sigma ^2>0\) be a variance, and for \(N\in \mathbb {N}\) define the integrals

$$\begin{aligned} E_N^{}(z;\sigma ) := \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} {\frac{1}{\sigma }} \!\!\!\displaystyle \int _{\mathbb {R}}\! (x^2+z^2) \frac{e^{-\frac{1}{2\sigma ^2} x^2}}{\sqrt{2\pi }}dx&{}\quad \text{ if }\, N=1,\\ {\frac{1}{\sigma }} \!\!\!\displaystyle \int _{\mathbb {R}^N}\! \prod \prod \limits _{1\le k<l\le N}\!\! e^{-\frac{1}{2N}(1-\sigma ^{-2}) (x_k-x_l)^2} \prod _{1\le n\le N}\!\!\!\!(x_n^2+z^2) \frac{e^{-\frac{1}{2\sigma ^2} x_n^2}}{\sqrt{2\pi }}dx_n &{}\quad \text{ if }\, N>1. \end{array}\right. \!\!\! \end{aligned}$$

These are expected values of the polynomials \(P_N^{}(z)=\prod _{1\le n\le N}(X_n^2+z^2)\) whose 2N zeros \(\{\pm i X_k\}^{}_{k=1,\ldots ,N}\) are generated by N identically distributed multi-variate mean-zero normal random variables \(\{X_k\}^{N}_{k=1}\) with co-variance \(\mathrm{{Cov}}_N^{}(X_k,X_l)=(1+\frac{\sigma ^2-1}{N})\delta _{k,l}+\frac{\sigma ^2-1}{N}(1-\delta _{k,l})\). The \(E_N^{}(z;\sigma )\) are polynomials in \(z^2\), explicitly computable for arbitrary N, yet a list of the first three \(E_N^{}(z;\sigma )\) shows that the expressions become unwieldy already for moderate N—unless \(\sigma = 1\), in which case \(E_N^{}(z;1) = (1+z^2)^N\) for all \(z\in \mathbb {C}\) and \(N\in \mathbb {N}\). (Incidentally, commonly available computer algebra evaluates the integrals \(E_N^{}(z;\sigma )\) only for N up to a dozen, due to memory constraints). Asymptotic evaluations are needed for the large-N regime. For general complex z these have traditionally been limited to analytic expansion techniques; several rigorous results are proved for complex z near 0. Yet if \(z\in \mathbb {R}\) one can also compute this “infinite-degree” limit with the help of the familiar relative entropy principle for probability measures; a rigorous proof of this fact is supplied. Computer algebra-generated evidence is presented in support of a conjecture that a generalization of the relative entropy principle to signed or complex measures governs the \(N\rightarrow \infty \) asymptotics of the regime \(iz\in \mathbb {R}\). Potential generalizations, in particular to point vortex ensembles and the prescribed Gauss curvature problem, and to random matrix ensembles, are emphasized.

     

Low-temperature relaxation in spin glasses

We analyze the mechanism governing the long-time, low-temperature relaxation of the thermoremanent magnetization (σ_TRM) in metallic spin glasses. Ideas of quantum tunneling and “screening” of the local magnetic moments are employed to explain the existence of a hierarchy of relaxation times. This results in a time decay which is described by anenhanced power law: $$\sigma _{TRM} = \sigma _0 \exp - A[\ln (\omega t)]^y = \sigma _0 (\omega t)^{ - A[\ln (\omega t)]y - 1} $$ withy≧1. A crossover is predicted below which most parameters become temperature-independent.     

Combined constraints on modified Chaplygin gas model from cosmological observed data: Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach

We use the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to investigate a global constraints on the modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) model as the unification of dark matter and dark energy from the latest observational data: the Union2 dataset of type supernovae Ia (SNIa), the observational Hubble data (OHD), the cluster X-ray gas mass fraction, the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO), and the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. In a flat universe, the constraint results for MCG model are, W_bh² = 0.02263^+0.00184_-0.00162 (1s)^+0.00213_-0.00195 (2s){\Omega_{b}h^{2}\,{=}\,0.02263^{+0.00184}_{-0.00162} (1\sigma)^{+0.00213}_{-0.00195} (2\sigma)}, B_s = 0.7788^+0.0736_-0.0723(1s)^+0.0918_-0.0904 (2s){B_{s}\,{=}\,0.7788^{+0.0736}_{-0.0723}(1\sigma)^{+0.0918}_{-0.0904} (2\sigma)}, a = 0.1079^+0.3397_-0.2539 (1s)^+0.4678_-0.2911 (2s){\alpha\,{=}\,0.1079^{+0.3397}_{-0.2539} (1\sigma)^{+0.4678}_{-0.2911} (2\sigma)}, B = 0.00189^+0.00583_-0.00756(1s)^+0.00660_-0.00915 (2s){B\,{=}\,0.00189^{+0.00583}_{-0.00756}(1\sigma)^{+0.00660}_{-0.00915} (2\sigma)}, and H₀=70.711^+4.188_-3.142 (1s)^+5.281_-4.149(2s){H_{0}=70.711^{+4.188}_{-3.142} (1\sigma)^{+5.281}_{-4.149}(2\sigma)}.     

The Transformations from the New Intermediate Entangled State

The new intermediate entangled state |η;θ〉 is proposed by virtue of IWOP technique, which is the common eigenvector of [([^(x)]₁ - [^(x)]₂)cosq-([^(p)]₁ - [^(p)]₂)sinq][(\hat{x}_{1} - \hat{x}_{2})\cos\theta -(\hat{p}_{1} - \hat{p}_{2})\sin\theta ] and [([^(x)]₁ +[^(x)]₂)sinq+ ([^(p)]₁ + [^(p)]₂)cosq][(\hat{x}_{1} +\hat{x}_{2})\sin\theta + (\hat{p}_{1} + \hat{p}_{2})\cos\theta ]. The squeezing transformation operator, Hadamard transformation operator, Fresnel transformation operator and Radon transform operator are constructed by |η;θ〉.     

Spectral signs of the internal heavy-atom effect in aliphatic carbonyl compounds

The CNDO/S method has been applied to the internal effect of Si on the electronic spectrum of the acetone molecule; there is a considerable bathochromic shift and an increase in the \(S_0 \to S_{n\pi ^ * } \) intensity for theα-silyl ketones, while theβ-silyl ketons give only an increase in the intensity of \(S_0 \to S_{n\pi ^ * } \) absorption relative to acetone. The heavy atom substantially alters \(f_{S_0 \to T_{n\sigma ^* } } \) and \(\tau _{T_{n\sigma ^* } }^0 \) but has little effect on \(f_{S_0 \to T_{n\pi ^* } } \) and \(\tau _{T_{n\pi ^* } }^0 \) .     

Two Phases of the Non-Commutative Quantum Mechanics with the Generalized Uncertainty Relations

We consider the quantum mechanics on the noncommutative plane with the generalized uncertainty relations \({\Delta } x_{1} {\Delta } x_{2} \ge \frac {\theta }{2}, {\Delta } p_{1} {\Delta } p_{2} \ge \frac {\bar {\theta }}{2}, {\Delta } x_{i} {\Delta } p_{i} \ge \frac {\hbar }{2}, {\Delta } x_{1} {\Delta } p_{2} \ge \frac {\eta }{2}\). We show that the model has two essentially different phases which is determined by \(\kappa = 1 + \frac {1}{\hbar ^{2} } (\eta ^{2} - \theta \bar {\theta })\). We construct a operator \(\hat {\pi }_{i}\) commuting with \(\hat {x}_{j} \) and discuss the harmonic oscillator model in two dimensional non-commutative space for three case κ > 0, κ = 0, κ < 0. Finally, we discuss the thermodynamics of a particle whose hamiltonian is related to the harmonic oscillator model in two dimensional non-commutative space.     

Three-loop on-shell charge renormalization without integration:\Lambda _{QED}^{\overline {MS} } to four loops

Using algebraic methods, we find the three-loop relation between the bare and physical couplings of one-flavourD-dimensional QED, in terms of Γ functions and a singleF ₃₂ series, whose expansion nearD=4 is obtained, by wreath-product transformations, to the order required for five-loop calculations. Taking the limitD→4, we find that the \(\overline {MS} \) coupling \(\bar \alpha (\mu )\) satisfies the boundary condition $$\begin{gathered} \frac{{\bar \alpha (m)}}{\pi } = \frac{\alpha }{\pi } + \frac{{15}}{{16}}\frac{{\alpha ^3 }}{{\pi ^3 }} + \left\{ {\frac{{11}}{{96}}\zeta (3) - \frac{1}{3}\pi ^2 \log 2} \right. \hfill \\ \left. { + \frac{{23}}{{72}}\pi ^2 - \frac{{4867}}{{5184}}} \right\}\frac{{\alpha ^4 }}{{\pi ^4 }} + \mathcal{O}(\alpha ^5 ), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ wherem is the physical lepton mass and α is the physical fine structure constant. Combining this new result for the finite part of three-loop on-shell charge renormalization with the recently revised four-loop term in the \(\overline {MS} \) β-function, we obtain $$\begin{gathered} \Lambda _{QED}^{\overline {MS} } \approx \frac{{me^{3\pi /2\alpha } }}{{(3\pi /\alpha )^{9/8} }}\left( {1 - \frac{{175}}{{64}}\frac{\alpha }{\pi } + \left\{ { - \frac{{63}}{{64}}\zeta (3)} \right.} \right. \hfill \\ \left. { + \frac{1}{2}\pi ^2 \log 2 - \frac{{23}}{{48}}\pi ^2 + \frac{{492473}}{{73728}}} \right\}\left. {\frac{{\alpha ^2 }}{{\pi ^2 }}} \right), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ at the four-loop level of one-flavour QED.

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

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

     

New information on the T1/2 = 47 s isomer in the 136I nucleus

The ¹³⁶I nucleus, populated in the spontaneous fission of ²⁴⁸Cm, was studied by means of prompt γ-ray spectroscopy using the EUROGAM2 array. The observation in this work of the 42.6keV prompt-γ, M1 + E2 transition de-exciting the 7^- level in ¹³⁶I indicates that this level, interpreted as the configuration, does not correspond to the T = 47s, β-decaying isomer in ¹³⁶I. The isomer is placed 42.6keV below the 7^- level. It has spin 6^- and is interpreted as the configuration. This and other members of both multiplets can be reproduced properly only if one assumes that the πd_5/2 orbital in ¹³⁶I is located 400keV lower than in ¹³³Sb. Possible mechanisms causing this effect are discussed.     

Neutral strange particle exclusive production in charged current high-energy antineutrino interactions

The cross section of the quasi-elastic reactions \(\bar v_\mu p \to \mu ^ + \Lambda (\Sigma ^0 )\) in the energy range 5–100 GeV is determined from Fermilab 15′ bubble chamber antineutrino data. TheQ ² analysis of quasi-elastic Λ events yieldsM _A=1.0±0.3 GeV/c² for the axial mass value. With zero µΛ K ⁰ events observed, the 90% confidence level upper limit \(\sigma (\bar v_\mu p \to \mu ^ + \Lambda {\rm K}^0 )< 2.0 \cdot 10^{ - 40} cm^2 \) is obtained. At the same time, we found that the cross section of reaction \(\bar v_\mu p \to \mu ^ + \Lambda {\rm K}^0 + m\pi ^0 \) is equal to \(\left( {3.9\begin{array}{*{20}c} { + 1.6} \\ { - 1.3} \\ \end{array} } \right) \cdot 10^{ - 40} cm^2 \) .
