Temporal Soliton “Molecules” in Mode-Locked Lasers: Collisions, Pulsations, and Vibrations
2008
A few years after the discovery of the stable dissipative soliton pairs in passively mode-locked lasers, a large variety of multi-soliton complexes were studied in both experiments and numerical simulations, revealing interesting new behaviors. This chapter focuses on the following three subjects: collisions between dissipative solitons, pulsations of dissipative solitons, and vibrations of soliton pairs. Different outcomes of collisions between a soliton pair and a soliton singlet are discussed, showing possible experimental control in the formation or dissociation of ‘soliton molecules’. Long-period pulsations of single and multiple dissipative solitons are presented as limit cycles and o…
Quantification of the singlet-singlet annihilation times of individual bichromophoric molecules by photon coincidence measurements.
2010
Singlet−singlet annihilation (SSA) times in individual bichromophoric molecules have been quantified by time-resolved photon coincidence measurements. An analytical expression has been derived to obtain the SSA times from the coincidence histograms. The results have been confirmed by Monte Carlo simulations. SSA was found to be about three times faster than the fluorescence lifetime of the chromophores. Considering the spectral overlap for SSA and for energy transfer from an excited to a ground state chromophore, we conclude that in the weak coupling limit for any arrangement of the two chromophores both processes occur on similar time scales.
Singlet and triplet potentials of the ground-state atom pair Rb+Cs studied by Fourier-transform spectroscopy
2011
A comprehensive study of the $X {}^{1}\ensuremath{\Sigma}{}^{+}$ and $a {}^{3}\ensuremath{\Sigma}{}^{+}$ electronic states of the Rb and Cs atom pair in RbCs is presented. Abundant spectroscopic data for the $^{85}\mathrm{Rb}$$^{133}\mathrm{Cs}$ and $^{87}\mathrm{Rb}$$^{133}\mathrm{Cs}$ isotopologues were obtained from Fourier-transform spectra of laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) from the $B {}^{1}\ensuremath{\Pi}$ and $(4){}^{1}\ensuremath{\Sigma}{}^{+}$ states to the $a {}^{3}\ensuremath{\Sigma}{}^{+}$ (4549 transitions) and $X {}^{1}\ensuremath{\Sigma}{}^{+}$ (15 709 transitions) states. The $X {}^{1}\ensuremath{\Sigma}{}^{+}$ state data were complemented by about 15 500 transitions obta…
A comparison of density-functional-theory and coupled-cluster frequency-dependent polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities
2005
The frequency-dependent polarizabilities and hyperpolarizabilities of HF, CO, H2O and para-nitroaniline calculated by density-functional theory are compared with accurate coupled-cluster results. Whereas the local-density approximation and the generalized gradient approximation (BLYP) perform very similarly and overestimate polarizabilities and, in particular, the hyperpolarizabilities, hybrid density-functional theory (B3LYP) performs better and produces results similar to those obtained by coupled-cluster singles-and-doubles theory. Comparisons are also made for singlet excitation energies, calculated using linear response theory.
Antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with bond alternation and quenched disorder
2004
We consider S=1/2 antiferromagnetic Heisenberg chains with alternating bonds and quenched disorder, which represents a theoretical model of the compound CuCl_{2x}Br_{2(1-x)}(\gamma-{pic})_2. Using a numerical implementation of the strong disorder renormalization group method we study the low-energy properties of the system as a function of the concentration, x, and the type of correlations in the disorder. For perfect correlation of disorder the system is in the random dimer (Griffiths) phase having a concentration dependent dynamical exponent. For weak or vanishing disorder correlations the system is in the random singlet phase, in which the dynamical exponent is formally infinity. We disc…
Entanglement Properties and Phase Diagram of the Two-Orbital Atomic Hubbard Model
2009
We study the two-orbital Hubbard model in the limit of vanishing kinetic energy. The phase diagram in the $V-J$ plane, with $V$ and $J$ denoting the interorbital hybridization and exchange coupling respectively, at half filling is obtained. A singlet(dimer)-triplet transition is found for a critical value of the ratio $V/J.$ The entropy of formation, both in the mode and in the particle picture, presents a jump as the same critical line in conformity with the suggested relation between criticality and entanglement.
An extension of two-Higgs-doublet model and the excesses of 750 GeV diphoton, muon g-2 and h → μτ
2016
In this paper we simultaneously explain the excesses of the 750 GeV diphoton, muon g-2 and $h\to \mu\tau$ in an extension of the two-Higgs-doublet model (2HDM) with additional vector-like fermions and a CP-odd scalar singlet ($P$) which is identified as the 750 GeV resonance. This 750 GeV resonance has a mixing with the CP-odd scalar ($A$) in 2HDM, which leads to a coupling between $P$ and the SM particles as well as a coupling between $A$ and the vector-like fermions. Such a mixing and couplings are strongly constrained by $\tau\to\mu\gamma$, muon g-2 and the 750 GeV diphoton data. We scan over the parameter space and find that such an extension can simultaneously account for the observed …
Direct excitation of the “dark”b3Πstate predicted by deperturbation analysis of theA1Σ+−b3Πcomplex in KCs
2010
The diode-laser-induced fluorescence spectra $b {}^{3}{\ensuremath{\Pi}}_{\ensuremath{\Omega}=0}^{+}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{X}^{ 1}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{+}$ originated from the rovibronic levels of the ``dark'' triplet $b {}^{3}{\ensuremath{\Pi}}_{\ensuremath{\Omega}=0}^{+}$ state of KCs dimers were recorded with a Fourier transform spectrometer with a resolution of 0.03 cm${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$. Term values of 30 rovibronic levels $({v}_{b0}^{*}\ensuremath{\in}[14,18];{J}^{\ensuremath{'}}\ensuremath{\in}[47,134])$ below the minimum of perturbing $A {}^{1}{\ensuremath{\Sigma}}^{+}$ state were determined with 0.003--0.01 cm${}^{\ensuremath{-}1}$ uncertainty. The optimal excitation and dete…
Quantum dot state initialization by control of tunneling rates
2019
We study the loading of electrons into a quantum dot with dynamically controlled tunnel barriers. We introduce a method to measure tunneling rates for individual discrete states and to identify their relaxation paths. Exponential selectivity of the tunnel coupling enables loading into specific quantum dot states by tuning independently energy and rates. While for the single-electron case orbital relaxation leads to fast transition into the ground state, for electron pairs triplet-to-singlet relaxation is suppressed by long spin-flip times. This enables the fast gate-controlled initialization of either a singlet or a triplet electron pair state in a quantum dot with broad potential applicati…
Resilience of singlet-state extraction against non-optimal resonance conditions
2008
We have recently presented a protocol for extracting the singlet state of two non-interacting high-dimensional spins through post-selection of the internal state of interaction mediators sent in succession [F. Ciccarello et al., arXiv:0710.3855v1]. The scheme requires each mediator's wavevector to obey appropriate resonance conditions. Here we show the robustness of the scheme in the realistic case where such conditions are not sharply fulfilled.
