Effective Field Theories for heavy probes in a hot QCD plasma and in the early universe

2017

There are many interesting problems in heavy-ion collisions and in cosmology that involve the interaction of a heavy particle with a medium. An example is the dissociation of heavy quarkonium seen in heavy-ion collisions. This was believed to be due to the screening of chromoelectric fields that prevents the heavy quarks from binding, however in the last years several perturbative and lattice computations have pointed out to the possibility that dissociation is due to the finite lifetime of a quarkonium state inside the medium. Regarding cosmology, the study of the behavior of heavy Majorana neutrinos in a hot medium is important to understand if this model can explain the origin of dark ma…

Jeu de Taquin and Diamond Cone for so(2n+1, C)

2020

International audience; The diamond cone is a combinatorial description for a basis of a natural indecomposable n-module, where n is the nilpotent factor of a complex semisimple Lie algebra g. After N. J. Wildberger who introduced this notion, this description was achieved for g = sl(n) , the rank 2 semisimple Lie algebras and g = sp (2n).In this work, we generalize these constructions to the Lie algebra g = so(2n + 1). The orthogonal semistandard Young tableaux were defined by M. Kashiwara and T. Nakashima, they index a basis for the shape algebra of so(2n + 1). Defining the notion of orthogonal quasistandard Young tableaux, we prove that these tableaux describe a basis for a quotient of t…

Experimental Engineering of Arbitrary Qudit States with Discrete-Time Quantum Walks

2019

The capability to generate and manipulate quantum states in high-dimensional Hilbert spaces is a crucial step for the development of quantum technologies, from quantum communication to quantum computation. One-dimensional quantum walk dynamics represents a valid tool in the task of engineering arbitrary quantum states. Here we affirm such potential in a linear-optics platform that realizes discrete-time quantum walks in the orbital angular momentum degree of freedom of photons. Different classes of relevant qudit states in a six-dimensional space are prepared and measured, confirming the feasibility of the protocol. Our results represent a further investigation of quantum walk dynamics in p…

The SO2F2 quasi-spherical top: Correspondence between tensorial and Watson's formalisms

2006

Abstract The SO2F2 quasi-spherical top molecule with C2v symmetry is considered as a distorted spherical top deriving from the SO 4 2 − tetrahedral ion. We present here a detailed correspondence between the tensorial formalism using the Td⊃C2v reorientation and the usual Hamiltonian of Watson. We have also performed ab initio calculations in order to determine the centrifugal distorsion constants in the vibrational ground state.

Quantum aspects originated by Gravitation: from cosmology to astrophysics

2018

El estudio de campos cuánticos que se propagan en espacio-tiempos clásicos, curvos y dinámicos, ofrece una primera manera de evaluar las consecuencias de la teoría cuántica cuando los fenómenos gravitatorios no son despreciables. Esta es una cuestión importante que debe ser abordada cuando un campo gravitatorio intenso juega un papel principal en la dinámica de un sistema físico, tal como ocurre durante el universo temprano (inflación cósmica) o en la formación de agujeros negros astrofísicos. Una de las características más sorprendentes de esta materia es quizás el hecho de que el cálculo de observables físicos, incluso para campos sin interacción, frecuentemente involucra operadores cuadr…

Compact Quantum Circuit Design of PUFFIN and PRINT Lightweight Ciphers for Quantum Key Recovery Attack

2023

Quantum computing plays a vital role in the next generation computing platforms as researchers have achieved quantum supremacy by proving that quantum computers can outperform classical computers. These high performance computers will pose a serious threat to the security of the conventional cryptographic algorithms. The secret key of the conventional cryptographic algorithms when implemented by quantum circuits can easily be recovered with the help of Grover key search algorithm. The Grover’s algorithm requires low cost quantum implementation of cryptographic algorithms in order to mount the quantum key recovery attack successfully. Hence the low cost quantum implementation of conventional…

A comprehensive guide to the physics and usage of PYTHIA 8.3

2022

This manual describes the PYTHIA 8.3 event generator, the most recent version of an evolving physics tool used to answer fundamental questions in particle physics. The program is most often used to generate high-energy-physics collision "events", i.e. sets of particles produced in association with the collision of two incoming high-energy particles, but has several uses beyond that. The guiding philosophy is to produce and reproduce properties of experimentally obtained collisions as accurately as possible. The program includes a wide ranges of reactions within and beyond the Standard Model, and extending to heavy ion physics. Emphasis is put on phenomena where strong interactions play a ma…

Quantum walks: background geometry and gauge invariance

2019

Ciertos tipos de problemas no pueden resolverse usando los actuales ordenadores clásicos. Una forma de encontrar una solución, es mediante el uso de ordenadores cuánticos. Sin embargo, construir un ordenador cuántico es realmente complicado actualmente, debido a las limitaciones tecnológicas. Mientras tanto, los simuladores cuánticos han sido capaces de resolver algunos de estos problemas, ya que los simuladores cuánticos son más accesibles experimentalmente. Las llamadas caminatas cuánticas, en su versión discreta, son una herramienta muy útil para simular ciertos sistemas físicos. En el límite al continuo, se puede obtener una serie de ecuaciones diferenciales, particularmente, la ecuació…

Pseudospectrum of Reissner-Nordström black holes: Quasinormal mode instability and universality

2021

Black hole spectroscopy is a powerful tool to probe the Kerr nature of astrophysical compact objects and their environment. The observation of multiple ringdown modes in gravitational waveforms could soon lead to high-precision gravitational spectroscopy, so it is critical to understand if the quasinormal mode spectrum is stable against perturbations. It was recently shown that the pseudospectrum can shed light on the spectral stability of black hole quasinormal modes. We study the pseudospectrum of Reissner-Nordstr\"om spacetimes and we find a spectral instability of scalar and gravitoelectric quasinormal modes in subextremal and extremal black holes, extending similar findings for the Sch…
