Shell-model structure of exotic nuclei beyond <Superscript>132</Superscript>Sn

We report on a study of exotic nuclei around doubly magic ¹³²Sn in terms of the shell model employing a realistic effective interaction derived from the CD-Bonn nucleon-nucleon potential. The short-range repulsion of the bare potential is renormalized by constructing a smooth low-momentum potential, V_low-k, that is used directly as input for the calculation of the effective interaction. In this paper we focus attention on the nuclei ¹³⁴Sn and ¹³⁵Sb which, with an N/Z ratio of 1.68 and 1.65, respectively, are at present the most exotic nuclei beyond ¹³²Sn for which information exists on excited states. Comparison shows that the calculated results for both nuclei are in very good agreement with the experimental data. We present our predictions of the hitherto unknown spectrum of ¹³⁶Sn.     

Two-pion-exchange parity-violating potential and np → dγ

We calculate the parity-violating nucleon-nucleon potential in heavy-baryon chiral perturbation theory up to next-to-next-to-leading order. The one-pion exchange enters in leading order and the next-to-next-to-leading order consists of two-pion-exchange and the two-nucleon contact terms. In order to investigate the effect of the higher-order contributions, we calculate the parity-violating asymmetry in n p → dγ at threshold. The one-pion-exchange contribution dominates the physical observable, while the two-pion-exchange contribution is about or less than 10% of the one-pion-exchange one.

Multiple defect-core hexagonal photonic crystal fiber with flattened dispersion and polarization maintaining properties

In this paper, we present a dispersion controlling technique with a multiple defect-core hexagonal photonic crystal fiber (MD-HPCF). By omitting air holes in the core region of the conventional HPCF and adjusting the size of air holes around the newly formed core, we can successfully design low flattened dispersion PCF with low confinement loss, as well as high birefringence. The low flattened dispersion feature, as well as the low confinement losses and high birefringence are the main advantages of the proposed PCF structure, making it suitable as chromatic dispersion controller, dispersion compensator, and/or polarization maintaining fiber.

Control of soliton interactions by use of super-Gaussian sliding-frequency filters

We derived the theoretical results of soliton interactions in optical fiber with super-Gaussian slidingfrequency filters. The results demonstrate that the interactions between optical fiber solitons can be effectively suppressed by super-Gaussian sliding-frequency filters. And the results also show that the super-Gaussian filter with sliding is more effective in suppressing soliton interactions than that without sliding.

Looking at Nature as a Computer

Although not always identified as such, information has been a fundamental quantity in Physics since the advent of Statistical Mechanics, which recognized counting states as the fundamental operation needed to analyze thermodynamic systems. Quantum Mechanics (QM) was invented to fix the infinities that arose classically in trying to count the states of Black Body radiation. In QM, both amount and rate of change of information in a finite physical system are finite. As Quantum Statistical Mechanics developed, classical finite-state models naturally played a fundamental role, since only the finite-state character of the microscopic substratum normally enters into the macroscopic counting. Given more than a century of finite-state underpinnings, one might have expected that by now all of physics would be based on informational and computational concepts. That this isn't so may simply reflect the stubborn legacy of the continuum, and the recency and macroscopic character of computer science. In this paper, I discuss the origins of informational concepts in physics, and reexamine computationally some fundamental dynamical quantities.
