Normally-Ordered Time Evolution Operator for Mass-Varying Harmonic Oscillator and Wigner Function of Squeezed Number State

For investigating dynamic evolution of a mass-varying harmonic oscillator we constitute a ket-bra integration operator in coherent state representation and then perform this integral by virtue of the technique of integration within an ordered product of operators. The normally ordered time evolution operator is thus obtained. We then derive the Wigner function of u（t）｜n,〉, where ｜n〉 is a Fock state, which exhibits a generalized squeezing, the squeezing effect is related to the varying mass with time.     

A Categorical Framework for the Quantum Harmonic Oscillator

This paper describes how the structure of the state space of the quantum harmonic oscillator can be described by an adjunction of categories, that encodes the raising and lowering operators into a commutative comonoid. The formulation is an entirely general one in which Hilbert spaces play no special role. Generalised coherent states arise through the hom-set isomorphisms defining the adjunction, and we prove that they are eigenstates of the lowering operators. Generalised exponentials also emerge naturally in this setting, and we demonstrate that coherent states are produced by the exponential of a raising morphism acting on the zero-particle state. Finally, we examine all of these constructions in a suitable category of Hilbert spaces, and find that they reproduce the conventional mathematical structures.     

Digital prototype of LLRF system for SSRF

This paper describes a field programming gate array (FPGA) based low level radio frequency (LLRF) prototype for the SSRF storage ring RF system. This prototype includes the local oscillator (LO), analog front end, digital front end, RF out, clock distributing, digital signal processing and communication functions. All feedback algorithms are performed in FPGA. The long term of the test prototype with high power shows that the variations of the RF amplitude and the phase in the accelerating cavity are less than 1% and 1° respectively, and the variation of the cavity resonance frequency is controlled within ±10 Hz.

Generalized Fourth-Order Decompositions of Imaginary Time Path Integral: Implications of the Harmonic Oscillator

The imaginary time path integral formalism offers a powerful numerical tool for simulating thermodynamic properties of realistic systems. We show that, when second-order and fourth-order decompositions are employed, they share a remarkable unified analytic form for the partition function of the harmonic oscillator. We are then able to obtain the expression of the thermodynamic property and the leading error terms as well. In order to obtain reasonably optimal values of the free parameters in the generalized symmetric fourth-order decomposition scheme, we eliminate the leading error terms to achieve the accuracy of desired order for the thermodynamic property of the harmonic system. Such a strategy leads to an efficient fourth-order decomposition that produces third-order accurate thermodynamic properties for general systems.     

Selective etching of ZnTe in HF:H2O2:H2O solution: Interpretation of extended defect‐related etch figures

HF:H₂O₂:H₂O solution (40%wt.HF: 30wt.%H₂O₂: H₂O, 3:2:1 by volume) was used to reveal extended defects (line, face and volume defects) in bulk ZnTe crystals grown from Te solution. The etch patterns were analyzed based on their size, shape and distribution. The etch figures, both in the shape of pits and hillocks with high resolution, show forms controlled by the symmetries of the respective faces were produced. Two different sizes of pits were observed, the larger‐size pits correspond to dislocations penetrating the surface, however, the smaller‐size texture pits are produced on the defect‐free region, which serve as standard pits on respect faces. The face defects, such as grain boundaries, sub‐grain boundaries, dislocation walls, twins and stacking faults, can be all displayed clearly. Another essential feature of the etchant is that, it can effectively dissolve Te‐rich phase (Te inclusion/precipitates), which makes it promising to reveal the shape of this volume defect.     

Comment on: “Entanglement in three coupled oscillators” [Phys. Lett. A 384 (2020) 126134]

In this comment we analyze a method for the solution of the eigenvalue equation for three coupled harmonic oscillators proposed recently. We argue that the authors did not obtain the frequencies and coordinates of the normal modes that make the Hamiltonian operator diagonal but merely six transcendental equations for the relevant parameters that they did not attempt to solve. We derive the conditions for the existence of bound states that the authors did not appear to be able to obtain probably because of the complexity exhibited by those equations.     

Rotational and rovibrational transitions in the a 1Δ2 and b 1Σ+0+ states of sulfur monoxide radical

ABSTRACT

Sulfur monoxide radical has widely been detected in outer space using ground-state spectroscopy. The a ¹Δ₂ and b ¹Σ⁺₀₊ states of this radical have low excitation energies, and they possibly exist in outer space. In this work, the potential energy curves and dipole moment functions of the two states were evaluated using the complete active space self- consistent field method, followed by the valence internally contracted multireference configuration interaction approach. The transition line positions, oscillator strengths, band transition dipole matrix elements, Einstein A coefficients, and Franck–Condon factors of all transitions were calculated for lower vibrational levels at rotational angular momentum quantum number J up to 150. The transition line positions calculated in this study are in good agreement with the experimental results. The rovibrational transition became noticeably weak at Δυ > 5. Comparing the results of a ¹Δ₂ and b ¹Σ⁺₀₊ states reported in this paper with the previous values, we conclude that these results are the most accurate and complete to date.     

The Use of Constituent Spectra and Weighting in Extended Multiplicative Signal Correction in Infrared Spectroscopy

Extended multiplicative signal correction (EMSC) is a widely used preprocessing technique in infrared spectroscopy. EMSC is a model-based method favored for its flexibility and versatility. The model can be extended by adding constituent spectra to explicitly model-known analytes or interferents. This paper addresses the use of constituent spectra and demonstrates common pitfalls. It clarifies the difference between analyte and interferent spectra, and the importance of orthogonality between model spectra. Different normalization approaches are discussed, and the importance of weighting in the EMSC is demonstrated. The paper illustrates how constituent analyte spectra can be estimated, and how they can be used to extract additional information from spectral features. It is shown that the EMSC parameters can be used in both regression tasks and segmentation tasks.
