Variable detection probability in two-photon interference

We report here the results obtained by applying a local and realistic theory to photon intereference phenomena [1], recently observed in a set of experiments performed by Mandel and co-workers [4,6]. In these papers Mandel discarded the possibility of a rational explanation of his results, in the sense that the high visibility obtained was according to him far above the maximum allowed by a classical theory. We shall see how a small set of hypotheses, highly plausible for a realistically minded physicist, drives us to a large visibility in agreement with these experiments.     

Risk assessment and laser safety

The basic tenets of risk assessment have always been applied in laser safety during the development of safety standards. For example, statistical methods were used in the probit analysis of the threshold of ocular injury; concepts of risk analysis were employed in the development of hazard classes, where the increased risk of exposure and potential for injury from increasing laser output power led to assignment of an increasing hazard class. In recent years, however, there has been a number of attempts to apply statistical probability analysis in the risk assessment of actual use conditions. However, once the hazard classification has been assigned, how should one further apply the techniques of risk assessment in the determination of hazard control measures, or does this lead to a potential controversy of what is the risk? Risk analysis is the evaluation of potentially hazardous exposure conditions coupled with a realistic assessment of actual human exposure. The maximum permissible exposure values for laser radiation coupled with the laser hazards classification scheme, already permit realistic health hazard evaluations. However, in determining effective hazard control measures, one must perform a risk analysis. A risk analysis must consider aspects of human behaviour and how behaviour affects exposure. This is frequently the area of greatest controversy in the derivation of safety standards; however, it is this aspect where standards are most needed.

The effect of center-of-mass motion on photon statistics

We analyze the photon statistics of a weakly driven cavity quantum electrodynamics system and discuss the effects of photon blockade and photon-induced tunneling by effectively utilizing instead of avoiding the center-of-mass motion of a two-level atom trapped in the cavity. With the resonant interaction between atom, photon and phonon, it is shown that the bunching and anti-bunching of photons can occur with properly driving frequency. Our study shows the influence of the imperfect cooling of atom on the blockade and provides an attempt to take advantage of the center-of-mass motion.

A laser beam deflection technique for the quantitative detection of ultrasonic Lamb waves

Ultrasonic Lamb waves have been measured with a quantitative optical beam deflection (OBD) technique. Calibration of the technique is derived for two cases of laser probe beam cross-section, one with a uniform beam and the other with a Gaussian beam intensity distribution. Expressions for angular beam deflection angle are derived for both cases in terms of the total light intensity falling on the photodetector, assumed to have a square-law voltage response. Using a Gaussian beam intensity distribution from a HeNe laser, the OBD measurements were compared with those from a Michelson interferometer to show that measurements were self-consistent.     

The relation between properties of Gentile statistics and fractional statistics of anyon

In this paper, we discuss the relationship of two kinds of intermediate-statistics, the Gentile statistics and the fractional statistics of anyons. The anyon winding number representation is introduced. We construct the transformation between anyon winding number representation and the occupation number representation of particles of Gentile statistics. We study intermediate-statistics quantum bracket and coherent states for anyons in the winding number representation. We demonstrate that anyons can be simulated by Gentile statistics with a geometric phase.     

Role of phase fluctuation and dephasing in the enhancing continuous variable entanglement of a two-photon coherent beat laser

A steady state analysis of the nonclassical features and statistical properties of the cavity radiation of a twophoton coherent beat laser is presented.Results show that the degree of two-mode squeezing,detectable entanglement and intensity of the cavity radiation can increase with the deviation of the phase fluctuations of the laser employed in preparing the atoms,but decrease with the increasing rate at which the induced coherence superposition decays.Although it is found that varying the phase fluctuations and dephasing can lead to modification in the quantum features and statistical properties of the radiation,it does not alter the similarity in the nature of the degree of entanglement detectable by the criteria following from Duan-Giedke-Cirac-Zoller and logarithmic negativity in a perceivable manner.Since the intensity and quantum features can be readily enhanced,this system is expected to be a viable source of a strong robust entangled (squeezed) light under various conditions.Moreover,comparison of the mean number of photon pairs with intensity difference shows that the chance of inciting a two-photon process can be enhanced by changing the rate of dephasing and phase fluctuations.     

The effect of random intensity fluctuation on monaural and binaural detection

Two experiments were performed to determine the effects of random intensity fluctuation on NoSo and NoS pi performance. Noise was used as both signal and masker, and stimuli were bands of noise from either 0-2.0 or 2.0-4.0kHz. Signal and masker were either coherent (from the same source) or noncoherent (from independent sources). In the first experiment, noise fluctuation was achieved by modulating a wide band of noise. In the second experiment, fluctuation was achieved by narrowing the noise bandwidth. Results from both experiments indicated that NoSo performance was adversely affected by fluctuation and by noncoherent relation between signal and masker. NoS pi detection was not adversely affected by fluctuation at low frequency, and was affected less adversely than was NoSo detection at high frequency. This difference between NoSo and NoS pi performance is an important consideration when making inferences about monaural and binaural processing when the stimuli are fluctuating rather than temporally steady.     

The variable detection approach: a wave particle Model

The conceptual problems that quantum mechanics poses has been noticed by numerous authors [1]. From the early beginnings it has been questioned even by some of its creators: Planck, Eherenfest, Einstein, Schrödinger and de Broglie [2-9]. The problem of the collapse of the wave function, its compatibility with special relativity, the question of its completeness, the meaning of the uncertainty relations, etc., are some of the points that have still not received a satisfactory answer. Certainly a large part of these problems would not exist if the theory could get a realistic and local formulation.On the other hand, quantum mechanics has proven to be extremely good from a pragmatic point of view. It seems to make sense to create a theory that at the same time is realistic and local and close to quantum mechanics, without coinciding exactly with it, because Bell's theorem [10] forbids explicitly this possibility.The hope of a realistic and local explanation of the world has not been excluded experimentally. However, since the most extended opinion in the scientific community is just the opposite, we shall explain once more where lies the error of their arguments. Section 1 deals with the weak and strong Bell's inequalities, quoting the different approaches to solve the EPR paradox. In Sec. 2 one of these approaches is developed, the one usually called Enhancement or Variable-Detection-Probability Model. In Sec. 3, and with the same approach, we display one of these models that is basically an enrichment of the Einstein-de Broglie's version of quantum mechanics.     

Field ionization of free helium atoms: Correlation between the kinetic energy of ionized atoms and probability of their field ionization

In this paper the correlation between the kinetic energy of helium atoms and the probability of field ionization is investigated by exploiting the narrow velocity distribution of supersonic molecular beams. Field ionization measurements were carried out on supersonic helium beams at 298 K and 95 K corresponding to energies of about 65 meV and 20 meV, respectively, for the individual atoms. The field ionization was performed with a tungsten tip, radius of curvature 12 nm, kept at room temperature. The ionization probability was found to increase by about a factor 10 when the beam was cooled from 298 K to 95 K. The results presented in this paper are of importance for improving the understanding of field ionization and for the development of a new detector for helium and other molecular beams.     

The impact of large-scale computing on lattice statistics

The use of computers in theoretical physics has grown dramatically over the years; this is as true in lattice statistical mechanics as anywhere. This paper is concerned with one such aspect with which the name of C. Domb has been closely associated: the enumeration of embeddings of connected structures in an unlimited crystal lattice. An informal account is given of a recent computer project originating in the combinatorial shadow method developed by M. F. Sykes: the determination of the numbers and the properties ofcluster embeddings in crystal lattices. Sykes' approach has opened a way to information which was earlier considered to be forever beyond reach. The principles are given and the algorithms sketched; the detailed FORTRAN programming is not given. The methods used have had to be specially developed, but some have a wider application for computer algebra when the computational task is massive. Provided the computer is large enough and fast enough, impressive results may be obtained in return for a reasonable effort. In practice, this implies that the computer may have to be one of the largest and fastest, or else that it is dedicated to the task.     

On the effect of fractional statistics on quantum ion acoustic waves

In this paper, I study the effect of a small deviation from the Fermi–Dirac statistics on the quantum ion acoustic waves. For this purpose, a quantum hydrodynamic model is developed based on the Polychronakos statistics, which allows for a smooth interpolation between the Fermi and Bose limits, passing through the case of classical particles. The model includes the effect of pressure as well as quantum diffraction effects through the Bohm potential. The equation of state for electrons obeying fractional statistics is obtained and the effect of fractional statistics on the kinetic energy and the coupling parameter is analyzed. Through the model, the effect of fractional statistics on the quantum ion acoustic waves is highlighted, exploring both linear and weakly nonlinear regimes. It is found that fractional statistics enhance the amplitude and diminish the width of the quantum ion acoustic waves. Furthermore, it is shown that a small deviation from the Fermi–Dirac statistics can modify the type structures, from bright to dark soliton. All known results of fully degenerate and non-degenerate cases are reproduced in the proper limits.
