Remote preparation of the N-particle GHZ state using quantum statistics

We present a remote preparation of the N-particle GHZ state protocol in which only the effects of quantum statistics of indistinguishable particles are used. The N-particle GHZ state can be successfully prepared in the limit of N → ∞.     

Multiplicative and additive cluster expansions for the evolution of quantum spin systems in the ground state

It is shown that for the v-dimensional quantum Ising model in the high temperature region e^?tH in the GNS representation admits a “multiplicative” N-particle cluster expansion and H admits an “additive” N-particle cluster expansion.     

Some necessary conditions for fermion N-representability

The analogues of the Q and B conditions for the N-representability of a p-particle fermion density operator are derived. These conditions impose some new necessary conditions for the N-representability of 2-density operators. It is shown that the new conditions are no more restrictive than the conventional Q and B conditions.     

Wegner-type Bounds for a Multi-particle Continuous Anderson Model with an Alloy-type External Potential

We consider an N-particle quantum systems in ? ^d , with interaction and in presence of a random external alloy-type potential (a continuous N-particle Anderson model). We establish Wegner-type bounds (inequalities) for such models, giving upper bounds for the probability that random spectra of Hamiltonians in finite volumes intersect a given set.     

The construction of the eigenstates for nonlinear Schrödinger model with supermatrices and attractive coupling

A quantum nonlinear Schrödinger model with supermatrices and attractive coupling is studied by using the quantum inverse scattering method. The eigenstates of the Hamiltonian and the infinite number of the conserved quantities of the system are constructed. In particular, theN-particle bound states with the mixture of bosons and fermions are found. The energy of theN-particle eigenstate are Σ _i=1 ^N andNp ² ?N(N ²?1)c ²/12 for the scattering state and the bound state respectively.     

Integral equations for the scattering of N identical particles

Integral equations are obtained for the scattering of N identical particles using a form of the N-particle scattering equations derived previously. The equations couple together only transition operators between physical two cluster channels, the breakup amplitudes being expressed in terms of quadratures over two-cluster amplitudes. The kernel of the equations becomes connected after a single iteration. The number of coupled equations for identical particles is $\text{1}\text{2}\text{N}\text{or}\text{1}\text{2}\text{(N?1)}$ when N is even or odd respectively.     

Quantum Dynamics with Mean Field Interactions: a New Approach

We propose a new approach for the study of the time evolution of a factorized N-particle bosonic wave function with respect to a mean-field dynamics with a bounded interaction potential. The new technique, which is based on the control of the growth of the correlations among the particles, leads to quantitative bounds on the difference between the many-particle Schrödinger dynamics and the one-particle nonlinear Hartree dynamics. In particular the one-particle density matrix associated with the solution to the N-particle Schrödinger equation is shown to converge to the projection onto the one-dimensional subspace spanned by the solution to the Hartree equation with a speed of convergence of order 1/N for all fixed times.     

Eigenfunctions of GL(N, ℝ) Toda chain: Mellin-Barnes representation

The recurrent relations between the eigenfunctions of the GL(N, ?) and GL(N-1, ?) quantum Toda chains are derived. As a corollary, the Mellin-Barnes integral representation for the eigenfunctions of a quantum open Toda chain is constructed for the N-particle case.     

Reduced density matrices of a system of N coupled oscillators 2. eigenstructure of the 1-particle matrix for the canonical ensemble

The following theorem is proved: The reduced 1-particle density matrix corresponding to an equilibrium state of a system of N coupled oscillators coincides with the density matrix of a canonical ensemble of free oscillators at some effective temperature.     

Integral equations for N-particle scattering

Integral equations are derived for the N-particle transition operators. The equations couple together only transition operators between two-body channels. The kernel of the equations becomes connected after a single iteration. Transition operators involving channels with three or more particles can be obtained by quadratures from the solution of the equations. It is also shown that the N-particle equations can be reduced to multichannel two-body equations by the use of the quasiparticle method.     

Messung der Elektronendriftgeschwindigkeit in N2 imE/p-Bereich von 0,05 bis 40 Volt/cm Torr (Funkenkammerverfahren)

A special spark chamber technique was used to measure drift velocities of electrons for N₂ over anE/p-range from 0.05 to 40 volts/cm·Torr. The inaccuracy is smaller than 5% in the mediumE/p-range and increases to 10% at the ends of the region. This method uses a single α-particle traversing a parallel plate gap. The α-particle triggers by a photomultiplier a high voltage pulse which initiates an avalanche discharge. By varying the delay time after which the high voltage pulse is triggered one deduces from the height of the avalanche discharge the time necessary for the electrons to cross the gap and thus the drift velocity.     

N identical particles under quantum confinement: a many-body dimensional perturbation theory approach

Systems that involve N identical interacting particles under quantum confinement appear throughout many areas of physics, including chemical, condensed matter, and atomic physics. In this paper, we present the methods of dimensional perturbation theory, a powerful set of tools that uses symmetry to yield simple results for studying such many-body systems. We present a detailed discussion of the dimensional continuation of the N-particle Schrödinger equation, the spatial dimension D→∞ equilibrium (D⁰) structure, and the normal-mode (D⁻¹) structure. We use the FG matrix method to derive general, analytical expressions for the many-body normal-mode vibrational frequencies, and we give specific analytical results for three confined N-body quantum systems: the N-electron atom, N-electron quantum dot, and N-atom inhomogeneous Bose-Einstein condensate with a repulsive hard-core potential.     

Ornstein-Uhlenbeck Limit for the Velocity Process of an N-Particle System Interacting Stochastically

An N-particle system with stochastic interactions is considered. Interactions are driven by a Brownian noise term and total energy conservation is imposed. The evolution of the system, in velocity space, is a diffusion on a (3N?1)-dimensional sphere with radius fixed by the total energy. In the N→∞ limit, a finite number of velocity components are shown to evolve independently and according to an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process.     

Cluster properties for Coulomb scattering

Space-like, time-like and momentum space cluster properties are examined for N-particle scattering via two-body Coulomb-like potentials.     

A criterion for quantum teleportation of an arbitrary N-particle state via a 2N-particle quantum channel

A criterion for he tquantum teleportation of an arbitrary N-particle state via a 2N-particle quantum channel is presented by introducing a term of the "judgment operator". Using the criterion, not only the qualitative judgment of the possibility of successful teleportation can be made but also the quantitative calculation of the probability of successful teleportation can be explicitly given. In addition, a new genuine four-qubit entangled state is proposed, which could not belong to the category of previously known states under stochastic local operations and classical communication.     

Generalization of the variational principle and the Hohenberg and Kohn theorems for excited states of Fermion systems

Through the entanglement of a collection of K non-interacting replicas of a system of N interacting Fermions, and making use of the properties of reduced density matrices the variational principle and the theorems of Hohenberg and Kohn are generalized to excited states. The generalization of the variational principle makes use of the natural orbitals of an N-particle density matrix describing the state of lowest energy of the entangled state. The extension of the theorems of Hohenberg and Kohn is based on the ground-state formulation of density functional theory but with a new interpretation of the concept of a ground state: It is the state of lowest energy of a system of KN Fermions that is described in terms of the excited states of the N-particle interacting system. This straightforward implementation of the line of reasoning of ground-state density functional theory to a new domain leads to a unique and logically valid extension of the theory to excited states that allows the systematic treatment of all states in the spectrum of the Hamiltonian of an interacting system.     

Higgs Bundles,Gauge Theories and Quantum Groups

The appearance of the Bethe Ansatz equation for the Nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the equivariant integration over the moduli space of Higgs bundles is revisited. We argue that the wave functions of the corresponding two-dimensional topological U(N) gauge theory reproduce quantum wave functions of the Nonlinear Schrödinger equation in the N-particle sector. This implies the full equivalence between the above gauge theory and the N-particle sub-sector of the quantum theory of the Nonlinear Schrödinger equation. This also implies the explicit correspondence between the gauge theory and the representation theory of the degenerate double affine Hecke algebra. We propose a similar construction based on the G/G gauged WZW model leading to the representation theory of the double affine Hecke algebra.     

Boson expansions and quantization of time-dependent self-consistent fields (I). Particle-hole excitations

Two concrete methods are presented for quantizing the time-dependent Hartree equations in terms of boson operators. The first is the well-known infinite boson expansion analogous to the Holstein-Primakoff representation of angular momentum operators. The second, a new development, consists of finite boson quadratic forms, and is analogous to the Schwinger representation of angular momenta. In each case, a physical boson subspace can easily be constructed within which the full fermion dynamics is exactly duplicated. It therefore follows that quantization of the time-dependent Hartree equations, including all degrees of freedom, retrieves the exact many-body problem. The discussion in this paper is limited to particle-hole excitations of an N-particle system. A generalization to one-nucleon transfer processes on the N-particle system is also given in terms of ideal odd nucleons, but this brings in infinite expansions.     

Non-equilibrium statistical mechanics in the general theory of relativity: II. Linear fields in a kinetic approximation

The first paper in this series introduced a new, manifestly covariant approach to non-equilibrium statistical mechanics in classical general relativity. The object of this second paper is to apply that formalism to the evolution of a collection of particles that interact via linear fields in a fixed curved background spacetime. Given the viewpoint adopted here, the fundamental objects of the theory are a many-particle distribution function, which lives in a many-particle phase space, and a many-particle conservation equation which this distribution satisfies. By viewing a composite N-particle system as interacting one- and (N ? 1)-particle subsystems, one can derive exact coupled equations for appropriately defined reduced one- and (N ? 1)-particle distribution functions. Alternatively, by treating all the particles on an identical footing, one can extract an exact closed equation involving only the one-particle distribution. The implementation of plausible assumptions, which constitute straightforward generalizations of standard non-relativistic “kinetic approximations”, then permits the formulation of an approximate kinetic equation for the one-particle distribution function. In the obvious non-relativistic limit, one recovers the well-known Vlasov-Landau equation. The explicit form for the relativistic expression is obtained for three concrete examples, namely, interactions via an electromagnetic field, a massive scalar field, and a symmetric second rank tensor field. For a large class of interactions, of which these three examples are representative, the kinetic equation will admit a relativistic Maxwellian distribution as an exact stationary solution; and, for these interactions, an H-theorem may be proved.
