Fractal growth kinematics abstracted from snowflakes: topological evolution

Based on the kinematic viewpoint, the concept of proportional movement is abstracted to explain the strange behaviors of fractal snowflakes. A transformation group for proportional movement is defined. Under the proportional movement transformation groups, necessary and sufficient conditions for self-similarity of multilevel structures are presented. The characteristic topology of snowflake-like fractal patterns, identical to the topology of ternary-segment fractal line, is proved. Moreover, the topological evolution of N-segment line is explored. The concepts of limit growth and infinite growth are clarified,and the corresponding growth conditions are derived. The topological invariant properties of N-segment line are exposed. In addition, the proposition that the topological evolution of the N-segment line is mainly controlled by the topological invariant N is verified.     

New variable separation solutions for the generalized nonlinear diffusion equations

The functionally generalized variable separation of the generalized nonlinear diffusion equations ut = A(u, ux)uxx +B(u, ux) is studied by using the conditional Lie–Ba¨cklund symmetry method. The variant forms of the considered equations,which admit the corresponding conditional Lie–Ba¨cklund symmetries, are characterized. To construct functionally generalized separable solutions, several concrete examples defined on the exponential and trigonometric invariant subspaces are provided.     

Deviations of the lepton mapping matrix from the Harrison-Perkins- Scott form

We propose a simple set of hypotheses governing the deviations of the leptonic mapping matrix from the Harrison-Perkins-Scott （HPS） form. These deviations are supposed to arise entirely from a perturbation of the mass matrix in the charged lepton sector. The perturbing matrix is assumed to be purely imaginary （thus maximally T-violating） and to have a strength in energy scale no greater （but perhaps smaller） than the muon mass. As we shall show, it then follows that the absolute value of the mapping matrix elements pertaining to the tau lepton deviate by no more than O（（mμ/mτ）^2） ≈ 3.5 ×10^-3 from their HPS values. Assuming that （mμ/mτ）^2 can be neglected, we derive two simple constraints on the four parameters θ12,θ23, θ31, and δ of the mapping matrix. These constraints are independent of the details of the imaginary T-violating perturbation of the charged lepton mass matrix. We also show that the e and μ parts of the mapping matrix have a definite form governed by two parameters α and β; any deviation of order mμ/mτ can be accommodated by adjusting these two parameters.     

Entanglement in four qubit states: Polynomial invariant of degree 2, genuine multipartite concurrence and one-tangle

Characterization of the multipartite mixed state entanglement is still a challenging problem. This is due to the fact that the entanglement for the mixed states, in general, is defined by a convex-roof extension. That is the entanglement measure of a mixed state ρ of a quantum system can be defined as the minimum average entanglement of an ensemble of pure states. In this paper, we show that polynomial entanglement measures of degree 2 of even-N qubits X states is in the full agreement with the genuine multipartite (GM) concurrence. Then, we plot the hierarchy of entanglement classification for four qubit pure states and then using new invariants, we classify the four qubit pure states. We focus on the convex combination of the classes whose at most the one of the invariants is non-zero and find the relationship between entanglement measures consist of non-zero-invariant, GM concurrence and one-tangle. We show that in many entanglement classes of four qubit states, GM concurrence is equal to the square root of one-tangle.     

Quantifying the quantumness of ensembles via unitary similarity invariant norms

The quantification of the quantumness of a quantum ensemble has theoretical and practical significance in quantum information theory. We propose herein a class of measures of the quantumness of quantum ensembles using the unitary similarity invariant norms of the commutators of the constituent density operators of an ensemble. Rigorous proof shows that they share desirable properties for a measure of quantumness, such as positivity, unitary invariance, concavity under probabilistic union, convexity under state decomposition, decreasing under coarse graining, and increasing under fine graining. Several specific examples illustrate the applications of these measures of quantumness in studying quantum information.     

Influence of Auxiliary Equation on Wave Functions for Time-Dependent Pauli Equation in Presence of Aharonov-Bohm Effect

Invariant operator method for discrete or continuous spectrum eigenvalue and unitary transformation approach are employed to study the two-dimensional time-dependent Pauli equation in presence of the Aharonov-Bohm effect （AB） and external scalar potential. For the spin particles the problem with the magnetic field is that it introduces a singularity into wave equation at the origin. A physical motivation is to replace the zero radius flux tube by one of radius R, with the additional condition that the magnetic field be confined to the surface of the tube, and then taking the limit R → 0 at the end of the computations. We point that the invariant operator must contain the step function θ（r - R）. Consequently, the problem becomes more complicated. In order to avoid this dimculty, we replace the radius R by ρ（t）R, where ρ（t） is a positive time-dependent function. Then at the end of calculations we take the limit R →0. The qualitative properties for the invariant operator spectrum are described separately for the different values of the parameter C appearing in the nonlinear auxiliary equation satisfied by p（t）, i.e., C 〉 0, C = 0, and C 〈0. Following the C＇s values the spectrum of quantum states is discrete （C 〉 0） or continuous （C ≤ 0）.     

Time Evolution and Squeezing of Degenerate and Non-degenerate Coupled Parametric Down-Conversion with Driving Term

By properly selecting the time-dependent unitary transformation for the linear combination of the number operators, we construct a time-dependent invariant and derive the corresponding auxiliary equations for the degenerate and non-degenerate coupled parametric down-conversion system with driving term. By means of this invariant and the Lewis-Riesenfeld quantum invariant theory, we obtain closed formulae of the quantum state and the evolution operator of the system. We show that the time evolution of the quantum system directly leads to production of various generalized one- and two-mode combination squeezed states, and the squeezed effect is independent of the driving term of the Hamiltonian. In somespecial cases, the current solution can reduce to the results of the previous works.

平动点附近周期轨道的不变流形因其在低能轨道转移中起着重要作用而受到广泛关注.在设计低能轨道过程中不变流形要实时进行能量匹配,但利用传统数值积分方法进行积分时能量会耗散.显式辛算法具有比隐式辛算法计算效率高的优势,但其要求Hamilton系统必须分成两个可积的部分,而旋转坐标系下的圆型限制性三体问题是不可分的,因而显式辛算法难以用于求解旋转坐标系下的圆型限制性三体问题.本文通过引入混合Lie算子,成功实现了带三阶导数项的力梯度辛算法对圆型限制性三体问题的求解,并将基于混合Lie算子的带三阶导数项的辛算法与Runge-Kutta78算法和Runge-Kutta45算法进行仿真对比,仿真结果表明基于混合Lie算子的含有三阶导数项的辛算法位置精度高、能量误差小且计算效率高.利用基于混合Lie算子的带三阶导数项的辛算法计算不变流形,可以实现低能轨道转移过程中轨道拼接点的能量精准匹配.     

Evolution and Generation of Dynamics of Two-Mode Squeezed States of Time-Dependent Coupled Boson System

The system of the Hamiltonian involving a driving part, a single mode part, and a two-mode squeezed one and a two-mode coupled one is discussed using the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant theory. The time evolution operator is obtained. When the initial state is a coherent state, the quantum fluctuation of the system is calculated, and it is dependent on the squeezed part and the two-mode coupled part, but not dependent on the driving one.
