State-independent proof of Kochen-Specker theorem with 13 rays

Quantum contextuality, as proved by Kochen and Specker, and also by Bell, should manifest itself in any state in any system with more than two distinguishable states and recently has been experimentally verified. However, for the simplest system capable of exhibiting contextuality, a qutrit, the quantum contextuality is verified only state dependently in experiment because too many (at least 31) observables are involved in all the known state-independent tests. Here we report an experimentally testable inequality involving only 13 observables that is satisfied by all noncontextual realistic models while being violated by all qutrit states. Thus our inequality facilitates a state-independent test of the quantum contextuality for an indivisible quantum system. We also provide a record-breaking state-independent proof of the Kochen-Specker theorem with 13 directions determined by 26 points on the surface of a magic cube.     

A Kochen-Specker inequality from a SIC

Yu and Oh (eprint) [1] have given a state-independent proof of the Kochen-Specker theorem in three dimensions using only 13 rays. The proof consists of showing that a non-contextual hidden variable theory necessarily leads to an inequality that is violated by quantum mechanics. We give a similar proof making use of 21 rays that constitute a SIC (symmetric informationally-complete positive operator-valued measure) and a complete set of MUB (mutually unbiased bases). A theory-independent inequality is also presented using the same 21 rays, as required for experimental tests of contextuality.     

A superspace path integral proof of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem

A rigorous theory of integration in the space of paths in super space is developed, by extending Berezin's method of integration to spaces of anticommuting variables with an uncountably high dimension. A Feynmam-Kac-Ito formula for the heat kernel of a wide class of superspace differential operators is established. This formula is then used to make rigorous the supersummetric proofs of the Gauss-Bonnet-Chern theorem [1, 2].

An elementary proof for the non-bijective version of Wigner's theorem

The non-bijective version of Wigner's theorem states that a map which is defined on the set of self-adjoint, rank-one projections (or pure states) of a complex Hilbert space and which preserves the transition probability between any two elements, is induced by a linear or antilinear isometry. We present a completely new, elementary and very short proof of this famous theorem which is very important in quantum mechanics. We do not assume bijectivity of the mapping or separability of the underlying space like in many other proofs.

Direct proof of the mirror theorem for projective hypersurfaces up to degree 3 rational curves

In this paper, we directly derive a generalized mirror transformation of projective hypersurfaces of up to degree 3, genus 0 Gromov-Witten invariants by comparing the Kontsevich’s localization formula with residue integral representation of the virtual structure constants. We can easily generalize our method for the rational curves of arbitrary degree, except under combinatorial complexities.

Based on the small-gain theorem, the anti-synchronization between two identical new hyperchaotic systems is investigated, moreover, the general sufficient conditions to achieve anti-synchronization between the new hyperchaotic system and the new hyperchaotic Lorenz system are obtained via small-gain theorem. Numerical simulations are performed to verify and illustrate the analytical results.

Quantum speed limit for a three-qubit system in spin-chain environment with multisite interaction

We study the relationship between the quantum speed limit (QSL) time of a three-qubit system, and the quantum phase transitions (QPTs) of a spin-chain environment with the three-spin interaction. We find that the three-spin interaction can effectively manipulate the critical value of the QSL time. It makes the QSL time mark more clearly the quantum phase transition of the one-dimensional spin-chain models, especially the XX model. The dynamical evolution of the QSL time presents a periodic behavior in quantum-critical environment, whereas the three-spin interaction and external magnetic field can destroy this periodicity.     

Entanglement dynamics of a three-qubit system interacting with a quantum spin environment

We investigate the entanglement dynamics and decoherence of a three-qubit system under a quantum spin environment at a finite temperature in the thermodynamics limit. For the case under study, we find the evolution of pairwise entanglement depends not only on the initial states but also on the parameters related to the system and the spin environment. In addition, an undesirable entanglement sudden death occurs in the process of entanglement evolution, and this effect can be controlled by the coupling constant between two qubits, external magnetic field, and the interaction between the system and the environment.

Analog simulation of a simple system with state-dependent diffusion

We have constructed an electronic simulator of a simple bistable system driven by noise, whose intensity is determined by the instantaneous value of the coordinate. We observe that the most probable state of the system can be reversed by altering the noise intensity only in the neighborhood of the barrier, an effect pointed out by Landauer many years ago in the context of discussions on entropy-related stability criteria for nonequilibrium systems. We compare detailed measurements on the system with the recent white noise calculations of Landauer and van Kampen. The system also has interesting possibilities for tests of contemporary colored noise theory which we illustrate with an example.     

A nonequilibrium temperature and fluctuation theorem for soft-mode turbulence

Non-thermal Brownian motion of a particle for soft-mode turbulence (SMT) in the electroconvection of a nematic liquid crystal has been experimentally investigated to clarify the statistical and thermodynamical aspects of SMT, using the Lagrangian picture in hydrodynamics. The effective temperature for SMT is obtained in two different ways based on the Einstein relation and the fluctuation theorem from the diffusion due to non-thermal particle fluctuations. The temperatures from the two methods agree well and exhibit a high value of 10⁶ K. They depend on the coarse-graining time, which reflects the anomalous properties of the macroscopic fluctuations for the SMT.

Uniqueness,reciprocity theorem,and plane waves in thermoelastic diffusion with a fractional order derivative

In this work, a theory of thermoelasticity with diffusion is taken into consideration by using the methodology of fractional calculus. The governing equations for particle motion in a homogeneous anisotropic fractional order generalized thermoelastic diffusive medium are presented. Uniqueness and reciprocity theorems are proved. The plane wave propagation in the homogeneous transversely isotropic thermoelastic diffusive medium with fractional order derivative is studied. For the two-dimensional problem, there exist a quasi-longitudinal wave, a quasi-transverse wave, a quasi-mass diffusion wave, and a quasi-thermal wave. From the obtained results, the different characteristics of waves, like phase velocity, attenuation coefficient, specific loss, and penetration depth, are computed numerically and presented graphically. Some special cases are also discussed.     

A fluctuation theorem for Floquet quantum master equations

We present a fluctuation theorem for Floquet quantum master equations. This is a detailed version of the famous Gallavotti–Cohen theorem. In contrast to the latter theorem, which involves the probability distribution of the total heat current, the former involves the joint probability distribution of positive and negative heat currents and can be used to derive the latter. A quantum two-level system driven by a periodic external field is used to verify this result.     

A duality theorem for the automorphism group of a covariant system

In this paper we examine the covariant representation theory of a covariant system (A, G) introduced by Doplicher, Kastler and Robinson. (A is aC*-algebra andG is a locally compact group of automorphisms ofA.) We define the concept of left tensor product of two covariant representations. Loosely stated, our duality theorem says thatG is canonically isomorphic to the set of bounded operator valued maps on the set of covariant representations of the covariant system (A, G) which preserve direct sums, unitary equivalence and left tensor products. We further show that the enveloping von Neumann algebraA(A, G) of the covariant system (A, G) admits a (not necessarily injective) comultiplicationd such that (A(A, G),d) is a Hopf von Neumann algebra. The intrinsic group of this Hopf von Neumann algebra is canonically isomorphic and (strong operator topology) homeomorphic toG.     

Validity of the quantum regression theorem for resonance fluorescence in a photonic crystal

Correlation functions of a driven two‐level system embedded in a photonic crystal are analyzed. The spectral density of the photonic bands near a gap makes this system non‐Markovian. The equations of motion for two‐time correlations are derived by two different methods, the quantum regression theorem and the fluctuation dissipation theorem, and found to be the same.     

Entropy-variation with resistance in a quantized RLC circuit derived by the generalized Hellmann-Feynman theorem

By virtue of the generalized Hellmann--Feynman theorem for the ensemble average, we obtain the internal energy and average energy consumed by the resistance R in a quantized resistance--inductance--capacitance (RLC) electric circuit. We also calculate the entropy-variation with R. The relation between entropy and R is also derived. By the use of figures we indeed see that the entropy increases with the increment of R.
