Nonlinear Excitations in Hydrogen-Bonded Chains with Anharmonic Interatomic Interactions

We discuss the nonlinear excitations and the motion of a kink soliton pair in hydrogen-bonded chains with anharmonic interatomic interactions, based on a two-component soliton model, using a direct perturbation method. The expression for the asymmetric solutions of the kink soliton pair is found because of anharmonicity, and the energy, the momentum and the effective mass of a kink pair for cubic and quartic anharmonicity are calculated, which are in good agreement with the experimental data.

Effect of Gravity on Collective Excitations of a Quasi Two-Dimensional Bose Einstein Condensate in an Anharmonic Trap

Using variational method, the wave function of a quasi two-dimensionalBose-Einstein Condensate in an anharmonic trap is analyzed and the influence of gravity on the collective excitations is studied. It is found that the effect of gravity on the condensate has got crucial dependence on the anharmonicity of the trap.     

A comparative study of optic phonon-like excitations in liquid mixtures and molten salts

We report a study of collective excitations in an equimolar Lennard–Jones liquid mixture KrAr and a molten salt NaCl within the parameter-free generalized collective modes (GCM) approach. It is shown that the high-frequency propagating modes in liquid KrAr and molten NaCl correspond to optic phonon-like excitations, caused by fast mass-concentration (charge in NaCl) fluctuations. Dispersion curves for optic collective excitations are discussed.     

Virtual Excitations and Entanglement Dynamics and Polygamy in Three Ultra-Strongly Coupled Systems

The Milburn dynamics of three non resonant ultra-strongly coupled oscillators are resolved by using symplectic geometry. The Milburn dynamics of virtual excitations and how they affect the pairwise entanglement are looked at. It is found that the dynamics of excitations and entanglement experience similar profiles against time, physical parameters, and decoherence rate. Furthermore, it is shown that the extinction of excitations entails separability, which demonstrates the hierarchy between entanglement and virtual excitations. Additionally, the effects of physical parameters on the redistribution of virtual excitations among the three bi-partitions are analyzed. As a result, the violation of the monogamy of excitations is shown as in quantum discord. This implies that excitations can be considered as signatures of quantum correlations beyond entanglement. Besides, it is emphasized that the treatment can be used to model coupled quantum circuits in real situations (with decoherence).     

Activation by nonlinear oscillations and solitonic excitations

Local excitations in molecular systems are studied taking into account the influence of soft impurities. The dynamics of activation processes (high-energy events) due to nonlinear mechanisms is studied. The following examples of classical macroscopic systems with strong nonlinear interaction are investigated: 1D Toda chains, 1D Morse rings, and 3D systems of hard spheres including impurities. It is shown that solitonlike excitations may lead to the concentration of energy at definite sites (weak springs or soft spheres). The accumulation of energy is mainly due to soliton-fusion effects. In thermal equilibrium an optimum temperature exists, where the thermally averaged potential energy is preferably partitioned to the soft springs embedded into a hard-spring solvent. Further, we show that the effect of thermal energy localization and the temperature dependence also persists for solutions of soft spheres in hard-sphere solvents.     

Properties of nano-scale soliton-like excitations in two-dimensional lattice layers

Nano-scale soliton-like supersonic, intrinsic localized excitations in two-dimensional atomic anharmonic lattice layers are here considered. We study the propagation, the velocity and other soliton-like features at head-on collisions of such lattice excitations created by using suitable initial mechanical and thermal conditions. Noteworthy is that narrow, highly-energetic solitons moving along one lattice row are very robust, accompanied by weak anti-phase oscillations in the lateral direction.     

Persistence of well-defined collective excitations in a molten transition metal

Well-defined microscopic collective excitations are found in liquid Ni at 1763 K by means of inelastic neutron scattering. Such excitations are supported by the liquid despite an anharmonic character of its thermodynamic functions. Consideration of the detailed shape of the interionic pair potential provides a way to understand why atomic motions at microscopic scales behave in a way much closer to the alkali metals than to the liquefied rare gases.     

New approach to nonlinear dynamics of fullerenes and fullerites

A new type of nonlinear (anharmonic) excitations—bushes of vibrational modes—in physical systems with point or space symmetry is discussed. All infrared-active and Raman-active bushes for C₆₀ fullerene are found by means of special group-theoretical methods.     

Bose--Einstein Condensates with Two- and Three-Body Interactions in an Anharmonic Trap at Finite Temperature

The transition temperature, the depletion of the condensate atoms and the collective excitations of a Bose-Einstein condensation （BEC） with two- and three-body interactions in an anharmonic trap at finite temperature are studied in detail. By using the Popov version of the Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov （HFB） approximation, an extended self-consistent model describing BEC with both two- and three-body interactions in a distorted harmonic potential at finite temperature is obtained and solved numerically. The results show that the transition temperature, the condensed atom number and the collective excitations are modified dramatically by the atomic three-body interactions and the distortion of the harmonic trap.     

Implementation of single-qubit and CNOT gates by anyonic excitations of two-body topological color code

The anyonic excitations of topological two-body color code model are used to implement a set of gates. Because of two-body interactions, the model can be simulated in optical lattices. The excitations have nontrivial mutual statistics, and are coupled to nontrivial gauge fields. The underlying lattice structure provides various opportunities for encoding the states of a logical qubit in anyonic states. The interactions make the transition between different anyonic states, so being logical operation in the computational bases of the encoded qubit. Two-qubit gates can be performed in a topological way using the braiding of anyons around each other.     

The Collective Excitation Spectra of σ, ω and π Mesons in Nuclear Matter

The recent progress on the study of the collective excitation in relativistic nuclear matter is reviewed. The collective excitation modes are derived by meson propagators in nuclear matter. The mesons we studied are σ, ω, γ and π mesons. For pion, we derived not only the relativistic particle-hole, delta-hole excitations but also antiparticle excitations, suchas particle-antiparticle, antidelta-particle, delta-antiparticle excitations. By calculating the dispersion relation and the spin-isospin-dependent response function, the effects of all these excitation are studied.     

Collective excitations of a 1D Bose–Einstein condensate in an anharmonic trap

We investigate the collective excitations of a one-dimension Bose–Einstein condensate trapped in an anharmonic potential by solving the time-dependent Tonks–Girardeau equation. The governing equations of motions for the low-energy excitations are obtained using variational approaches. The motion of a 1D BEC in a harmonic trap is just like the motion of one particle in a harmonic trap. And quartic distortion of the potential causes the blue-shift and red-shift on the excitation frequency while cube distortion only causes the red-shift.     

Ungapped magnetic excitations beyond Hidden Order in URu2−xRexSi2

ABSTRACT

We use inelastic neutron scattering measurements to show that the energy gap in the magnetic excitations of URu₂Si₂, induced by the Hidden Order transition, is closed by Re substitution. The magnetic excitations remain ungapped in compositions where the specific heat anomaly associated with Hidden Order is no longer observed, which means that the entropy associated with Hidden Order is tied mostly to the magnetic gapping. Further, the onset of ferromagnetic order does not gap the excitations, reflecting the fact that Re substitution does not dramatically affect the Kondo lattice hybridisation.     

Localised magneto‐optical collective excitations of impure graphene

We study optically‐induced collective excitations of graphene in the presence of a strong perpendicular magnetic field and a single impurity. We determine the energies and absorption strengths of these excitations, which become localised on the impurity. Two different types of impurity are considered i. the long‐range Coulomb impurity, ii. a δ‐function impurity located at either an A or B graphene sublattice site. Both impurity types result in some bound states appearing both above and below the magnetoplasmon continuum, although the effect of the short‐range impurity is less pronounced. The dependence of the energies and oscillator strengths of the bound states on the filling factor is investigated.     

Collective Excitations and Nonlinear Dynamics of 1D BEC with Two- and Three-body Interactions in Anharmonic Traps

The collective excitations of low-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates with two- and three-body interactions in anharmonic potentials are investigated. Using the standard variational approach, the governing equations of motions for the low-energy excitations are obtained by solving time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii-Ginzburg equation, and the excitation spectrums are calculated in small amplitude limit. The frequency shift and nonlinear mode coupling induced by the anharmonic distortion （adding cubic, quartic, or quintic terra to a harmonic trap） are studied.     

Stability and Collective Excitation of Two-Dimensional BECs with Two- and Three-Body Interactions in an Anharmonic Trap

The stability and collective excitation of Bose-Einstein condensates with both two- and three-body interactions in a two-dimensional anhaxmonic trap （i.e., harmonic plus quartic trap） are investigated. By using the variational method, the influence of the three-body interaction and the anharmonicity on the stability axe discussed in detail. It is found that the anhaxmonicity of the trap and the three-body interaction have significant effect on the stability and collective excitations of the system.     

Two-mode excited entangled coherent states and their entanglement properties

This paper introduces two types of two-mode excited entangled coherent states (TMEECSs) |Ψ_±(α,m,n)>, studies their entanglement characteristics, and investigates the influence of photon excitations on quantum entanglement. It shows that for the state |Ψ₊(α,m,m)> the two-mode photon excitations affect seriously entanglement character while the state |Ψ_-(α,m,m)> is always a maximally entangled state, and shows how such states can be produced by using cavity quantum electrodynamics and quantum measurements. It finds that the entanglement amount of the TMEECSs is larger than that of the single-mode excited entangled coherent states with the same photon excitation number.
