A Modified Approach for Calculating Dressed Quark Propagator at Finite Chemical Potential

Based on the rainbow approximation of Dyson-Schwinger equation and the assumption that the full inverse quark propagator at finite chemical potential is analytic in the neighborhood of μ = 1, it is proved that the dressed quark propagator at finite chemical potential μ can be written as G0^-1 [μ] =iγ·p↑-A（p↑-^2） ＋B（p↑-^2） with p↑-μ= （p↑-p4 ＋iμ）. From the dressed quark propagator at finite chemical potential in Munczek model the bag constant of a baryon and the scalar quark condensate are evaluated. A comparison with previous results is given.     

A Model Study of Equation of State of QCD at Finite Chemical Potential and Zero Temperature

In this paper, we give a direct method for calculating the partition function, and hence the equation of state （EOS） of QCD at finite chemical potential and zero temperature. In the EOS derived in this paper the pressure density is the sum of two terms： the first term P（μ）｜μ=0 （the pressure density at μ = 0） is a μ-independent constant; the second term, which is totally determined by G[μ] （p） （the dressed quark propagator at finite μ）, contains all the nontrivial μ-dependence. By applying a general result in the rainbow-ladder approximation of the Dyson-Schwinger approach obtained in our previous study [Phys. Rev. C 71 （2005） 015205], G[μ]（p） is calculated from the meromorphic quark propagator proposed in [Phys. Rev. D 67 （2003） 054019]. From this the full analytic expression of the EOS of QCD at finite μ and zero T is obtained （apart from the constant term P（μ）｜μ=0, which can in principle be caJculated from the CJT effective action）. A comparison between our EOS and the cold, perturbative EOS of QCD of Fraga, Pisarski and Schaffner-Bielich is made. It is expected that our EOS can provide a possible new approach for the study of neutron stars.     

Classical Communication and Entanglement Cost in Preparing a Class of Multi-qubit States

Recently, several similar protocols [J. Opt. B 4 （2002） 380; Phys. Lett. A 316 （2003） 159; Phys. Lett. A 355 （2006） 285; Phys. Lett. A 336 （2005） 317] for remotely preparing a class of multi-qubit states （i.e, α[0...0〉 ＋β[1... 1〉） were proposed, respectively. In this paper, by applying the controlled-not （CNOT） gate, a new simple protocol is proposed for remotely preparing such class of states. Compared to the previous protocols, both classical communication cost and required quantum entanglement in our protocol are remarkably reduced. Moreover, the difficulty of identifying some quantum states in our protocol is also degraded. Hence our protocol is more economical and feasible.     

Supersymmetric WKB Approximation of Anharmonic Potential V（r）=ar^2＋br^-4＋cr^-6

This article uses the supersymmetric WKB approximation to obtain the approximate energy levels and wave functions of the anharmonic potential V（r） = ar^2 ＋ br^-4 ＋ cr^-6 in order to tesify the correctness between [Phys. Left. A 170 （1992） 335] and the paper written by M. Landtman [Phys. Left. A 175 （1993） 147].     

Critical Behaviors in a Stochastic Local Limited One-Dimensional Rice-Pile Model

A stochastic local limited one-dimensional rice-pile model is numerically investigated. The distributions for avalanche sizes have a clear power-law behavior and it displays a simple finite size scaling. We obtain the avalanche exponents τ_s=1.54±0.10, β_s=2.17±0.10 and τ_T=1.80±0.10, β_T=1.46±0.10. This self-organized critical model belongs to the same universality class with the Oslo rice-pile model studied by K. Christensen et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 77 (1996) 107], a rice-pile model studied by L.A.N. Amaral et al. [Phys. Rev. E 54 (1996) 4512], and a simple deterministic self-organized critical model studied by M.S. Vieira [Phys. Rev. E 61 (2000) 6056].     

Critical Number of Fermion Flavors at Finite Chemical Potential in QED3

We propose a new method for calculating the dressed fermion propagator at finite chemical potential in QED3 under the rainbow approximation of Dyson-Schwinger equation. In the above approximation, we show that the dressed fermion propagator at finite chemical potential # has the form S（p） = iγ.p^-A（p^-2） ＋ B（ p^-2） with p^-μ= （p^-1p3 ＋ iμ）. Using this form of fermion propagator at nonzero chemical potential, we investigate the Dyson-Schwinger equation for the dressed fermion propagator at finite chemical potential and study the effects of the chemical potential on the critical number of the fermion flavors.     

Scheme for Generation of Maximally Entangled States via Entanglement Swapping

Based on two atoms and two cavities initially in two pairs of atom-photon nonmaximally entangled states, we propose a relatively simple scheme to create maximally entangled photon-photon and atom-photon states via entanglement swapping using techniques of cavity QED inspired by the scheme proposed in [Phys. Rev. A 71 （2005） 044302] and [Phys. Rev. A 71 （2005） 034312]. Our scheme does not involve the measurement in Bell basis, we only require detecting the states of atoms.     

Linear Chemical Potential Dependence of Two-Quark Condensate

By differentiating the inverse dressed quark propagator at finite chemical potential μ with respect to μ, the linear response of the dressed quark propagato r to the chemical potential can be obtained, From this we extract a modelindependent formula for the linear chemical potential dependence of the in-medium two-quark condensate and show by two independent methods （explicit calculation and Lorentz covariance arguments） that the first-order contribution in μ to the in-medium two-quark condensate vanishes identically. Therefore if one wants to study the in-medium two-quark condensate one should expand to at/east the second order in the chemical potential μ.     

Modified Approach for Calculating Four-Quark Condensates

By differentiating the dressed quark propagator with respect to a variable background field,the linear response of the dressed quark propagator in the presence of the background field can be obtained.From this general method,using the vector background field as an illustration,we extract a general formula for the four-quark condensate〈(0)|-q(0)γμq(0)-q(0)γμq(0)|0〉.This formula contains the corresponding fully dressed vector vertex. We use this formula to analyze the factorization problem of the four-quark condensate and show that in the bare vertex approximation factorization holds exactly.     

The de Haas—van Alphen Oscillation in Two—Dimensional QED at Finite Temperature and Density

The de Haas-van Alphen oscillations in two-dimensional QED at finite temperature and density are investigated.It is shown that for a given particel density,besides the oscillation of magnetization,the chemical potential is also oscillating with the same period.Different from the earloier work (J.O.Andersen and T.Haugset,Phys.Rev.D51 (1995) 3073),the magnetization oscillations we studied have a correct nonrelativistic limit at zero temperature.     

An Extended Model for Coexistence of Superconductivity and Paramagnetism in High-Tc Superconductors

In the present work, the total magnetization in superconducting state is separated into critical state and paramagnetic components in terms of an H（x）-dependent magnetic flux density. Utilizing this model, we reproduce successfully M-H curves measured by Sandu et al. [Phys. Rev. B 74 （2006） 184511] and Sandu et al. [J. Supercond. Incorp. Novel Magn. 17 （2004） 701] for different forms of Jc.     

Calculation of Partition Function of QCD at Finite Chemical Potential

In equilibrium statistical field theory, the partition function has fundamental importance. In this paper we propose a direct and general method for calculating the partition function and equation of state of QCD at finite chemical potential. It is found that the partition function is totally determined by the dressed quark propagator at finite chemical potential up to a multiplicative constant. From this a criterion for the phase transition between the Nambu and the Wigner phases is obtained. This general method is applied to two specific cases： the free quark theory and QCD with a model dressed quark propagator having confinement features. In the first case, the standard Fermi distribution at T = 0 is reproduced. In the second case, we apply the conclusion in previous works to obtain the dressed quark propagator at finite chemical potential and find the unphysical result that the baryon number density vanishes for all values of chemical potential. The reason for this result is discussed.     

Generation of Entanglement for Coherent Excitonic States in Coupled Quantum Dots in a Microcavity

We investigate the generation of entanglement of coherent excitonic states in coupled quantum dots placed in a cavity by meaning of the state preparation fidelity [Nature (London) 404 (2002) 256; Phys. Rev. A 65 (2002) 012107; J. Uffink, Phys. Rev. Lett.88 (2002) 230406.] The effect of the number of excitons and the coherent intensity |α| of the cavity field on the entanglement is also studied.     

New Method for Finding a Series of Exact Solutions to Generalized Breaking Soliton Equation

In this paper, a new generalized extended tanh-function method is presented for constructing soliton-like,period-form solutions of nonlinear evolution equations (NEEs). This method is more powerful than the extended tanhfunction method [Phys. Left. A 277 (2000) 212] and the modified extended tanh-function method [Phys. Left. A 285 (2001) 355]. Abundant new families of the exact solutions of Bogoyavlenskii‘s generalized breaking soliton equation are obtained by using this method and symbolic computation system Maple.     

New Soliton-like Solutions and Multi-soliton Structures for Broer-Kaup System with Variable Coefficients

By using the further extended tanh method [Phys. Lett. A 307 （2003） 269; Chaos, Solitons ＆ Fractals 17 （2003） 669] to the Broer-Kaup system with variable coefficients, abundant new soliton-like solutions and multl-solitonlike solutions are derived. Based on the derived multi-soliton-like solutions which contain arbitrary functions, some interesting multi-soliton structures are revealed.     

Approximate Teleportation of an Unknown Atomic-Entangled State with Dissipative Atom-Cavity Resonant Jaynes-Cummings Model

We propose a scheme for approximately and conditionally teleporting an unknown atomic-entangled state in dissipative cavity QED. It is the further development of the scheme of [Phys. Rev. A 69 (2004) 064302], where the cavity mode decay has not been considered and the state teleportated is an unknown atomic state. In this paper, we investigate the influence of the decay on the approximate and conditional teleportation of the unknown atomic-entangled state, which is different from that teleportated in [Phys. Rev. A 69 (2004) 064302] and then give the fidelity of the teleportation, which depends on the cavity mode decay. The scheme may be generalized to not only the teleportation of the cavity-mode-entangled-state by means of a single atom but also the teleportation of the unknown trapped-ion-entangled-state in a linear ion trap.     

A Note on Similarity Reductions of Barotropic and Quasi-geostrophic Potential Vorticity Equation

Applying the classical Lie symmetry approach to the barotropic and quasi-geostrophic potential vorticity equation without forcing and dissipation on a β-plane channel, we find a new symmetry, which is not presented in a previous work [F. Huang, Commun. Theor. Phys. （Beijing, China） 42 （2004） 903]. A general finite transformation group is obtained based on the full Lie point symmetry, Furthermore, two new types of similarity reduction solutions are obtained.     

Revisiting Probabilistic Teleportation Scheme for Atomic State via Cavity QED

A probabilistic teleportation scheme for atomic stats via cavity QED [Phys. Rev. A 70 （2004） 054303] is revisited and accordingly some improvements are made.     

Generating Generalized Bessel Equations by Virtue of Bose Operator Algebra and Entangled State Representations

With the help of Bose operator identities and entangled state representation and based on our previous work [Phys. Lett. A 325 (2004) 188] we derive some new generalized Bessel equations which also have Bessel function as their solution. It means that for these intricate higher-order differential equations, we can get Bessel function solutions without using the expatiatory power-series expansion method.     

Spin-Rotation Coupling in Gravitation with Torsion

Based on the theory of gravitation with torsion developed by Hammond [Rep. Prog. Phys. 65 (2002) 599], the interaction between the intrinsic spin of a particle and the mass source is calculated. It is shown that spin can interact with the gravitimagnetic field created by a rotational mass, where the spin-rotation coupling is also discussed. According to the recent torsion pendulum experiment with polarized electrons by Heckel et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 97 (2006) 021603], we set a new limit on the value of the torsion coupling constant K as K∈[0.53,0.95], which has improved many orders than the constraints from the early spin-spin experiment with K<2×10¹⁴.
