We consider the problem of measurement using the Lindblad equation, which allows the introduction of time in the interaction between the measured system and the measurement apparatus. We use analytic results, valid for weak system-environment coupling, obtained for a two-level system in contact with a measurer (Markovian interaction) and a thermal bath (non-Markovian interaction), where the measured observable may or may not commute with the system-environment interaction. Analysing the behavior of the coherence, which tends to a value asymptotically close to zero, we obtain an expression for the time of measurement which depends only on the system-measurer coupling, and which does not depend on whether the observable commutes with the system-bath interaction. The behavior of the coherences in the case of strong system-environment coupling, found numerically, indicates that an increase in this coupling decreases the measurement time, thus allowing our expression to be considered the upper limit for the duration of the process. 相似文献

Schulman (Entropy 7(4):221–233, 2005) has argued that Boltzmann’s intuition, that the psychological arrow of time is necessarily aligned with the thermodynamic
arrow, is correct. Schulman gives an explicit physical mechanism for this connection, based on the brain being representable
as a computer, together with certain thermodynamic properties of computational processes. Hawking (Physical Origins of Time
Asymmetry, Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, 1994) presents similar, if briefer, arguments. The purpose of this paper is to critically examine the support for the link between
thermodynamics and an arrow of time for computers. The principal arguments put forward by Schulman and Hawking will be shown
to fail. It will be shown that any computational process that can take place in an entropy increasing universe, can equally
take place in an entropy decreasing universe. This conclusion does not automatically imply a psychological arrow can run counter
to the thermodynamic arrow. Some alternative possible explanations for the alignment of the two arrows will be briefly discussed. 相似文献

The quantum field theory describing the massive O(2) non-linear sigma-model is investigated through two non-perturbative constructions: the form factor bootstrap based on integrability and the lattice formulation as the XY model. The S-matrix, the spin and current two-point functions, as well as the 4-point coupling are computed and critically compared in both constructions. On the bootstrap side a new parafermionic super selection sector is found; in the lattice theory a recent prediction for the (logarithmic) decay of lattice artifacts is probed. 相似文献

We study fluctuations of pressure in equilibrium for classical particle systems. In equilibrium statistical mechanics, pressure for a microscopic state is defined by the derivative of a thermodynamic function or, more mechanically, through the momentum current. We show that although the two expectation values converge to the same equilibrium value in the thermodynamic limit, the variance of the mechanical pressure is in general greater than that of the pressure defined through the thermodynamic relation. We also present a condition for experimentally detecting the difference between them in an idealized measurement of momentum transfer. 相似文献

The problem of electron mobility variance is discussed. It is established that in equilibrium semiconductors the mobility variance is infinite. It is revealed that the cause of the mobility variance infinity is the threshold of phonon emission. The electron–phonon interaction theory in the presence of an electric field is developed. A new mechanism of electron scattering, called electron–phonon field-induced tunnel (FIT) scattering, is observed. The effect of the electron–phonon FIT scattering is explained in terms of penetration of the electron wave function into the semiconductor band gap in the presence of an electric field. New and more general expressions for the electron–non-polar optical phonon scattering probability and relaxation time are obtained. The results show that FIT transitions have principle meaning for the mobility fluctuation theory: mobility variance becomes finite. 相似文献

We develop the research on measurement of time worked by Poincarh, Einstein, Landau and other researchers. Based on the convention that the velocity of light is isotropic and is a constant in empty spacetime, we not only answer the question about the definition of the synchronization of rate of clocks located at different places, but also find the solution to the issue of how to define the equality of two durations in measurement of time. 相似文献

It has been claimed that the string landscape predicts an open universe, with negative curvature. The prediction is a consequence of a large number of metastable string vacua, and the properties of the Coleman–De Luccia instanton which describes vacuum tunneling. We examine the robustness of this claim, which is of particular importance since it seems to be one of string theory's few claims to falsifiability. We find that, due to subleading tunneling processes, the prediction is sensitive to unknown properties of the landscape. Under plausible assumptions, universes like ours are as likely to be closed as open. 相似文献

The market maker plays an important role in price formation, but his/her behavior and stabilizing impact on the market are relatively unclear, in particular in speculative markets. This paper develops a financial market model that examines the impact on market stability of the market maker, who acts as both a liquidity provider and an active investor in a market consisting of two types of boundedly rational speculative investors—the fundamentalists and trend followers. We show that the market maker does not necessarily stabilize the market when he/she actively manages the inventory to maximize profits, and that rather the market maker’s impact depends on the behavior of the speculators. Numerical simulations show that the model is able to generate outcomes for asset returns and market inventories that are consistent with empirical findings. 相似文献

In this article, we evaluate the efficiency and performance of two clustering algorithms: (Agglomerative Hierarchical Clustering) and . We are aware that there are various linkage options and distance measures that influence the clustering results. We assess the quality of clustering using the Davies–Bouldin and Dunn cluster validity indexes. The main contribution of this research is to verify whether the quality of clusters without outliers is higher than those with outliers in the data. To do this, we compare and analyze outlier detection algorithms depending on the applied clustering algorithm. In our research, we use and compare the (Local Outlier Factor) and (Connectivity-based Outlier Factor) algorithms for detecting outliers before and after removing , , and of outliers. Next, we analyze how the quality of clustering has improved. In the experiments, three real data sets were used with a different number of instances. 相似文献

Ferritin stores iron as ferrihydrite inside a shell composed of H and L protein chains. H chains contain ferroxidase centres catalysing Fe2+ oxidation, while L chains lack these centres but seem to promote ferrihydrite nucleation. Mössbauer spectroscopic studies of recombinant H-chain ferritins show the following: (1) fast Fe2+ oxidation is associated with the formation of Fe3+ dimers at the ferroxidase centre; (2) within 30 min, a portion of the dimers have split to Fe3+ monomers and some monomers have moved to the threefold channels; (3) over longer times, a trend dimer monomer core is established. Core formation is accelerated if L chains are present. 相似文献

We study the mechanism of van der Waals(vdW)interactions on phonon transport in atomic scale,which would boost developments in heat management and energy conversion.Commonly,the vdW interactions are regarded as a hindrance in phonon transport.Here we propose that the vdW confinement can enhance phonon transport.Through molecular dynamics simulations,it is realized that the vdW confinement is able to make more than two-fold enhancement on thermal conductivity of both polyethylene single chain and graphene nanoribbon.The quantitative analyses of morphology,local vdW potential energy and dynamical properties are carried out to reveal the underlying physical mechanism.It is found that the confined vdW potential barriers reduce the atomic thermal displacement magnitudes,leading to less phonon scattering and facilitating thermal transport.Our study offers a new strategy to modulate the phonon transport. 相似文献

If one defines the size of the present universe in terms of a hypersurface of simultaneity generated by the spatial geodesies orthogonal to our world line today, then it is finite in all expanding Big Bang Friedmann models. 相似文献
