Modified Mode Coupling Theory of Glassy Dynamics Generated by Entanglement
2004
Increasing the density in systems with strong excluded volume interactions leads simultaneously to an increase of static correlations and a slowing down of the relaxational dynamics. Mode coupling theory in its present form describes this mechanism, satisfactorily. In contrast, for systems where entanglement is dominant, e.g. infinitely thin hard rods on a lattice, glassy dynamics is not driven by increasing static correlations but by entanglement. We show how mode coupling approximation can be modified such that non-vanishing vertices occur which might account for such pure entanglement effects.
Orbital origin and matrix element effects in the Ag/Si(111)-()R30° Fermi surface
2007
The Fermi surface (FS) of the Ag/Si(1 1 1)-3×3 reconstruction with an excess of Ag has been mapped by angle resolved photoemission spectroscopy with polarized light in a wide region of the reciprocal space and with different detection geometries. In contrast to previous results, a strong polarization dependence is observed. Applying the dipole selection rules, it is found that the surface state at the Fermi level, S1 state, has odd symmetry with respect to the mirror plane of the honeycomb-chained triangle structure, indicating that it is mainly derived from Ag 5px and 5py orbitals. This conclusion is revised in the new frame of a inequivalent-triangle structure for the Ag/Si(1 1 1)-3×3 at …
A Non-normal-Mode Marginal State of Convection in a Porous Rectangle
2019
Author's accepted manuscript (postprint). This is a post-peer-review, pre-copyedit version of an article published in Transport in Porous Media. The final authenticated version is available online at: http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s11242-019-01263-5. The fourth-order Darcy–Bénard eigenvalue problem for onset of thermal convection in a 2D rectangular porous box is investigated. The conventional type of solution has normal-mode dependency in at least one of the two spatial directions. The present eigenfunctions are of non-normal-mode type in both the horizontal and the vertical direction. A numerical solution is found by the finite element method, since no analytical method is known for this non-…
Catching the radio flare in CTA 102
2011
Context: The blazar CTA 102 (z=1.037) underwent a historical radio outburst in April 2006. This event offered a unique chance to study the physical properties of the jet. Aims: We used multifrequency radio and mm observations to analyze the evolution of the spectral parameters during the flare as a test of the shock-in-jet model under these extreme conditions. Methods: For the analysis of the flare we took into account that the flaring spectrum is superimposed on a quiescent spectrum. We reconstructed the latter from archival data and fitted a synchrotron self-absorbed distribution of emission. The uncertainties of the derived spectral parameters were calculated using Monte Carlo simulation…
VLBI imaging of M81* at 43GHz
2011
The nearby spiral galaxy M81 harbors in its core a Low-Luminosity AGN (LLAGN), and appears closely related to the more distant and powerful AGNs seen in quasars and radio galaxies. The intrinsic size of this object is unknown due to scattering, and it has shown a core-jet morphology with weak extended emission rotating with wavelength. The proximity of M\,81 (D=3.63 Mpc) allows a detailed investigation of its nucleus to be made. The nucleus is four orders of magnitude more luminous than the Galactic centre, and is therefore considered a link between SgrA* and the more powerful nuclei of radio galaxies and quasars. Our main goal was to determine the size of M81* at a shorter wavelength thus …
Entangling two spatially separate cavities
2003
A scheme for the transfer of entanglement among systems via successive coupling with an intermediate system is described. This method is applied to a simple experimental realizable situation for entangling two spatially separated cavities. In this scheme entanglement, initially stored in two modes of the first cavity, is transferred by an atom interacting successively with the cavities, into entanglement between two non resonant modes of the different cavities.
Entanglement-induced electron coherence in a mesoscopic ring with two magnetic impurities
2006
We investigate the Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interference pattern in the electron transmission through a mesoscopic ring in which two identical non-interacting magnetic impurities are embedded. Adopting a quantum waveguide theory, we derive the exact transmission probability amplitudes and study the influence of maximally entangled states of the impurity spins on the electron transmittivity interference pattern. For suitable electron wave vectors, we show that the amplitude of AB oscillations in the absence of impurities is in fact not reduced within a wide range of the electron-impurity coupling constant when the maximally entangled singlet state is prepared. Such state is thus able to inhibit th…
Measurement of electroweak parameters from Z decays into fermion pairs
1990
We report on the properties of theZ resonance from 62 500Z decays into fermion pairs collected with the ALEPH detector at LEP, the Large Electron-Positron storage ring at CERN. We findMZ=(91.193±0.016exp±0.030LEP) GeV, ΓZ=(2497±31) MeV, σhad0=(41.86±0.66)nb, and for the partial widths Γinv=(489±24) MeV, Γhad(1754±27) MeV, Γee=(85.0±1.6)MeV, Γμμ=(80.0±2.5) MeV, and Γττ=(81.3±2.5) MeV, all in good agreement with the Standard Model. Assuming lepton universality and using a lepton sample without distinction of the final state we measure Γu=(84.3±1.3) MeV. The forward-backward asymmetry in leptonic decays is used to determine the vector and axial-vector weak coupling constants of leptors,gv2(MZ2…
Effect of Static Disorder in an Electron-Fabry Perot Interferometr with Two Quantum Scattering Centers
2007
In a recent paper -- F. Ciccarello \emph{et al.}, New J. Phys. \textbf{8}, 214 (2006) -- we have demonstrated that the electron transmission properties of a one-dimensional (1D) wire with two identical embedded spin-1/2 impurities can be significantly affected by entanglement between the spins of the scattering centers. Such effect is of particular interest in the control of transmission of quantum information in nanostructures and can be used as a detection scheme of maximally entangled states of two localized spins. In this letter, we relax the constraint that the two magnetic impurities are equal and investigate how the main results presented in the above paper are affected by a static d…
Sensitivity of Measurement-Based Purification Processes to Inner Interactions
2017
The sensitivity of a repeated measurement-based purification scheme to additional undesired couplings is analyzed, focusing on the very simple and archetypical system consisting of two two-level systems interacting with a repeatedly measured one. Several regimes are considered and in the strong coupling (i.e., when the coupling constant of the undesired interaction is very large) the occurrence of a quantum Zeno effect is proven to dramatically jeopardize the efficiency of the purification process.
