Instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter Equation and Its Exact Solution

We present an approach to solve Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equations exactly without any approximation if the kernel of the BS equations exactly is instantaneous, and take positronium as an example to illustrate the general features of the exact solutions. The key step for the approach is from the BS equations to derive a set of coupled and well-determined integration equations in linear eigenvalue for the components of the BS wave functions equivalently, which may be solvable numerically under a controlled accuracy, even though there is no analytic solution. For positronium, the exact solutions precisely present corrections to those of the corresponding Schrödinger equation in order v¹ (v is the relative velocity) for eigenfunctions, in order v² for eigenvalues, and the mixing between S and D components in J^PC=1^-- states etc., quantitatively. Moreover, we also point out that there is a questionable step in some existent derivations for the instantaneous BS equations if one is pursuing the exact solutions. Finally, we emphasize that one should take the O(v) corrections emerging in the exact solutions into account accordingly if one is interested in the relativistic corrections for relevant problems to the bound states.     

Bound-State Soliton Solutions of the Nonlinear Schr?dinger Equation and Their Asymmetric Decompositions

We study the asymmetric decompositions of bound-state(BS) soliton solutions to the nonlinear Schr?dinger equation. Assuming that the BS solitons are split into multiple solitons with different displacements, we obtain more accurate decompositions compared to the symmetric decompositions. Through graphical techniques, the asymmetric decompositions are shown to overlap very well with the real trajectories of the BS soliton solutions.     

Symmetries and Exact Solutions of the Breaking Soliton Equation

With the aid of the classical Lie group method and nonclassical Lie group method, we derive the classical Lie point symmetry and the nonclassical Lie point symmetry of (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton (BS) equation. Using the symmetries, we find six classical similarity reductions and two nonclassical similarity reductions of the BS equation. Varieties of exact solutions of the BS equation are obtained by solving the reduced equations.     

Instantaneous Formulation for Transitions Between Two Instantaneous Bound States and Its Gauge Invariance

We have precisely derived a ＂rigorous instantaneous formulation＂ for transitions between two bound states when the bound states are well-described by instantaneous Bethe-Salpeter （BS） equation （i.e. the kernel of the equation is instantaneous ＂occasionally＂）. The obtained rigorous instantaneous formulation, in fact, is expressed as an operator sandwiched by two ＂reduced BS wave functions＂ properly, while the reduced BS wave functions appearing in the formulation are the rigorous solutions of the instantaneous BS equation, and they may relate to Schroedinger wave functions straightforwardly. We also show that the rigorous instantaneous formulation is gauge-invariant with respect to the Uem（1） transformation precisely, if the concerned transitions are radiative. Some applications of the formulation are outlined.     

New Symmetry Reductions,Dromions—Like and Compacton Solutions for a 2D BS（m,n） Equations Hierarchy with Fully Nonlinear Dispersion

We have found two types of important exact solutions,compacton solutions,which are solitary waves with the property that after colliding with their own kind,they re-emerge with the same coherent shape very much as the solitons do during a completely elastic interaction,in the (1 1)D,(1 2)D and even (1 3)D models,and dromion solutions (exponentially decaying solutions in all direction) in many (1 2)D and (1 3)D models.In this paper,symmetry reductions in (1 2)D are considered for the break soliton-type equation with fully nonlinear dispersion (called BS(m,n) equation)ut b(u^m)xxy 4b(u^n δx^-1uy)x=0,which is a generalized model of (1 2)D break soliton equation ut buxxy 4buuy 4buxδx^-1uy=0,by using the extended direct reduction method.As a result,six types of symmetry reductions are obtained.Starting from the reduction equations and some simple transformations,we obtain the solitary wavke solutions of BS(1,n) equations,compacton solutions of BS(m,m-1) equations and the compacton-like solution of the potential form (called PBS(3,2)) ωxt b(ux^m)xxy 4b(ωx^nωy)x=0.In addition,we show that the variable ∫^x uy dx admits dromion solutions rather than the field u itself in BS(1,n) equation.     

Present Status of the Bethe–Salpeter Approach in Minkowski Space

Recently developed methods allowing to find the solutions of the Bethe–Salpeter equations in Minkowski space, both for the bound and scattering states, are reviewed. For the bound states, one obtains the bound state mass and the corresponding BS amplitude. For the scattering states, the phase shifts (complex above the meson creation threshold) and the half-off-shell BS amplitude are found. Using these solutions, the elastic and transition electromagnetic form factors are calculated.     

On the Diagonalization of the Bethe–Salpeter Equation for the Imaginary Part of the Scattering Amplitude

The Bethe–Salpeter (BS) equation for the imaginary part of the scattering amplitude is examined in the ladder approximation of scalar quantum electrodynamics (QED). Asymptotic solutions of the BS equation derived for the imaginary part of the scattering amplitude are shown to exhibit the Regge amplitude behavior for small momentum transfer and scattering in the forward direction and at arbitrary angles.     

Bethe-Salpeter equation and current conservation

Current conservation in the form of the Ward identity between the electromagnetic vertex and the propagator implies that the energy dependence of the BS kernel is restricted and that the propagator cannot be chosen independently from the kernel. It is rather determined from the BS kernel in terms of an integral equation. Convolution type, energy-independent kernels are compatible with current conservation. We study the propagator and form factor resulting from smooth kernels.     

The Spin Symmetry of Heavy Baryons in the Framework of the Bethe-Salpeter Equation

We study the baryons containing a heavy quark in the framework of Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equation. The most general forms of the BS wavefunctions are given. In the heavy-quark limit we simplify the BS equations and we show clearly that the spin symmetry exists in heavy baryon states.     

Covariant first and second quantization of the N = 2, D = 10 Brink-Schwarz superparticle

Using a new type of harmonic superspace variables, we reduce the N = 2, D = 10 Brink-Schwarz (BS) superparticle to a system whose constraints are (i) first class, (ii) functionally independent and (iii) Lorentz covariant. We show that these features are essential for a correct covariant quantization. Q_BRST is first rank. By using it to second quantize the system, we obtain a covariant off-shell unconstrained superfield action of the linearized D = 10 type IIB supergravity. A corresponding procedure for the Green Schwarz (GS) superstring is conjectured.

Geodesic connectedness of the causal completion in the Lorentzian geometry

We consider the topology of the BS causal completion, and show that it is not distorted in the causal direction. Using this result, we show that the causal completion with spacelike causal boundary in the sense of the BS construction satisfies the formal definition of the global hyperbolicity. We also show that any two causally related points in the causal completion can be connected by a causal geodesic.     

Influence of multi-photon pulses on practical differential-phase-shift quantum key distribution

The influence of multi-photon pulses on practical differcBtial-phase-shift quantum key distribution （DPS-Qt（D） is analysed. We have estimated the information which Eve obtained by PNS （photon-number splitting） attack and BS （beam splitting） attack. The result indicates that the PNS attack and BS attack will not limit the transmission distance as long as we select an appropriate mean photon number. Also, the maximum mean photon number under BS attack in practical DPS-QKD system and the set of practical assumptions about Eve＇s capabilities are presented.[第一段]     

Independent particle model of spontaneous symmetry breaking in planar π-electron systems

The singlet stability of symmetry adapted (SA), restricted Hartree-Fock (RHF) solutions, and the implied symmetry breaking for several planar, π-electron systems, is investigated using the semiempirical Pariser-Parr-Pople Hamiltonian in the whole range of the coupling constant. We focus here on highly symmetric cyclic polyenes C₁₀H₁₀ and C₁₄H₁₄ and their various distorted analogues of lower symmetry, in particular on the perimeter models of naphthalene and anthracene (p-naphthalene and p-anthracene) modeling the so-called [n]-annulenes. Relying on earlier results for general systems with conjugated double-bonds, we explore the character and properties of both the SA and broken-symmetry (BS) RHF solutions for these systems and relate their behavior to those of highly symmetric cyclic polyenes and corresponding polyacenes. In this way we are able to provide a better understanding of the spontaneous symmetry breaking in these systems at the Hartree-Fock level of approximation.     

Entanglement concentration for W-type entangled coherent states

An entangled coherent state(ECS) is one type of entanglement, which is widely discussed in the application of quantum information processing(QIP). In this paper, we propose an entanglement concentration protocol(ECP) to distill the maximally entangled W-type ECS from the partially entangled W-type ECS. In the ECP, we adopt the balanced beam splitter(BS) to make the parity check measurement. Our ECP is quite different from the conventional ECPs. After performing the ECP, not only can we obtain the maximally entangled ECS with some success probability, but also we can increase the amplitude of the coherent state. Therefore, it is especially useful in long-distance quantum communication, if the photon loss is considered.     

New method for the theory of hadron scattering

A new method is suggested for analyzing the scattering of particles whose interaction is mediated by the exchange of field quanta. The conventional approach uses the Lehmann, Symanzik, and Zimmerman (LSZ) method for formulating the asymptotic boundary condition constraints. Then after making the appropriate renormalization subtractions one finds Bethe-Salpeter (BS) equations for the transition amplitudes. The covariant form of the BS equations makes the construction of solutions arduous. Approximate reductions to noncovariant form are generally employed. Our method is based on an alternative to the LSZ technique and leads directly to a set of coupled noncovariant integral equations for the transition operators. No approximation is required to achieve this result. Our equations are similar to the Lippmann-Schwinger equations for many-body scattering. The complexity of these equations is governed by the maximum number of field quanta permitted to be present at any instant.

Critical dynamic approach to stationary states in complex systems

A dynamic scaling Ansatz for the approach to stationary states in complex systems is proposed and tested by means of extensive simulations applied to both the Bak-Sneppen (BS) model, which exhibits robust Self-Organised Critical (SOC) behaviour, and the Game of Life (GOL) of J. Conway, whose critical behaviour is under debate. Considering the dynamic scaling behaviour of the density of sites (ρ(t)), it is shown that i) by starting the dynamic measurements with configurations such that ρ(t=0) →0, one observes an initial increase of the density with exponents θ= 0.12(2) and θ= 0.11(2) for the BS and GOL models, respectively; ii) by using initial configurations with ρ(t=0) →1, the density decays with exponents δ= 0.47(2) and δ= 0.28(2) for the BS and GOL models, respectively. It is also shown that the temporal autocorrelation decays with exponents C_a = 0.35(2) (C_a = 0.35(5)) for the BS (GOL) model. By using these dynamically determined critical exponents and suitable scaling relationships, we also obtain the dynamic exponents z = 2.10(5) (z = 2.10(5)) for the BS (GOL) model. Based on this evidence we conclude that the dynamic approach to stationary states of the investigated models can be described by suitable power-law functions of time with well-defined exponents.
