Landau-Majorana-Stuckelberg-Zener dynamics driven by coupling for two interacting qutrit systems
2019
A time-dependent model of two interacting spin qutrits is analyzed is analyzed and solved. The two interacting qutrits are subjected to a longitudinal field linearly varying over time as in the Landau-Majorana-St\"uckelberg- Zener (LMSZ) scenario. Although a transverse field is absent, we show the occurrence of LMSZ transitions assisted by the coupling between the two spin-qutrits. Such a physical effect permits us to estimate experimentally the coupling strength between the spins and allows the generation of entangled states of the two qutrits by appropriately setting the slope of the ramp. Furthermore, the possibility of local and nonlocal control as well as the existence of dark states o…
Strong pionic decays of baryons from a spectroscopic quark model
1996
From a refined non-relativistic quark model that fits the baryonic low-energy spectrum the study of strong pion decay processes within an elementary emission model scheme points out the need of incorporating size-contributing components into the baryon wave functions. In particular the effect of a (qqq ) component is investigated in the framework of a quark pair creation model.
Instabilities of concentration stripe patterns in ferrocolloids
1999
Equations describing the kinetics of the phase separation in ferrocolloids in a Hele-Shaw cell under the action of a rotating magnetic field are proposed. Numerical simulation on the basis of a pseudospectral technique demonstrates that upon the action of a rotating field on a magnetic colloid which undergoes the phase separation a periodical system of stripes parallel to the plane of a rotating magnetic field stripes is created. The period of a structure found numerically satisfactorily corresponds to the one calculated on the basis of the energy minimum. Thus, the undulation instability leading to the formation of chevron structures takes place if the tangential component of a rotating ma…
Theory of Computation, Fuzziness and a physics of the immaterial
2013
In this paper we advance three clear-cut proposals as a contribution to the discussion on the role of notions of Computation and Fuzziness as a bridge between Hard and Soft Sciences. We suggest that an important difference between the two great fami- lies of science lies in their subject or research having a grounding in nature or not, and that Theory of Computation is a glaring exception to this classifi- cation, being a textbook hard science but dealing with the immaterial. We further advance that such unicity is strongly connected with Church-Turing thesis, and discuss about the role of Computation and Fuzziness as pillars of immaterial sciences
SDSS DR7 superclusters. Principal component analysis
2011
We apply the principal component analysis and Spearman's correlation test to study the properties of superclusters drawn from the SDSS DR7. We analyse possible selection effects in the supercluster catalogue, study the physical and morphological properties of superclusters, find their possible subsets, and determine scaling relations for superclusters. We show that the parameters of superclusters do not correlate with their distance. The correlations between the physical and morphological properties of superclusters are strong. Superclusters can be divided into two populations according to their total luminosity. High-luminosity superclusters form two sets, more elongated systems with the s…
Surface-directed spinodal decomposition: Phenomenology and numerical results.
1992
We present a phenomenological theory for surface effects on spinodal decomposition in mixtures and related phenomena such as the dynamics of surface segregation. Numerical solutions of our equations show striking similarity to recent results from experiments on polymer mixtures with one component preferentially attracted to a wall.
Simulation of surface-controlled phase separation in slit pores: Diffusive Ginzburg-Landau kinetics versus Molecular Dynamics
2008
The phase separation kinetics of binary fluids in constrained geometry is a challenge for computer simulation, since nontrivial structure formation occurs extending from the atomic scale up to mesoscopic scales, and a very large range of time needs to be considered. One line of attack to this problem is to try nevertheless standard Molecular Dynamics (MD), another approach is to coarse-grain the model to apply a time-dependent nonlinear Ginzburg–Landau equation that is numerically integrated. For a symmetric binary mixture confined between two parallel walls that prefer one species, both approaches are applied and compared to each other. There occurs a nontrivial interplay between the forma…
3D reconstruction of external and internal surfaces of transparent objects from polarization state of highlights
2014
A vision-based method is proposed to measure the 3D shape of external and internal surfaces (not accessible) of smooth transparent objects. Looking at the reflections of point sources on a specular surface with a polarimetric camera, we combine the measurements of two techniques: shape from distortion and shape from polarization. It permits us to recover the position and orientation of the specular surface for each detected point. The internal surface of transparent objects exhibiting as well a specular component, the same technique is used on the highlights coming from the back surface, taking into account the refraction by using polarimetric ray tracing.
Longitudinal counterflow in turbulent liquid helium: velocity profile of the normal component
2013
In this paper, the velocity profile of the normal component in the stationary flow of turbulent superfluid helium inside a cylindrical channel is determined, making use of a one-fluid model with internal variables derived from Extended Thermodynamics. In the hypothesis of null barycentric velocity of the fluid (the so-called counterflow situation) it is seen that, in the presence of a sufficiently high vortex length density, the velocity profile of the normal component becomes very flat in the central region of the channel. Thus, a central flat profile of the normal fluid does not necessarily imply that the flow of the normal component is turbulent.
