Klein tunneling through an oblique barrier in graphene ribbons
We study a transmission coefficient of graphene nanoribbons with a top gate
which acts as an oblique barrier. Using a Green function method based on the
Dirac-like equation, scattering among transverse modes due to the oblique
barrier is taken into account numerically. In contrast to the 2-dimensional
graphene sheet, we find that the pattern of transmission in graphene ribbons
depends strongly on the electronic structure in the region of the barrier.
Consequently, irregular structures in the transmission coefficient are
predicted while perfect transmission is still calculated in the case of
metallic graphene independently of angle and length of the oblique barrier
Meta-Stable Brane Configurations by Adding an Orientifold-Plane to Giveon-Kutasov
In hep-th/0703135, they have found the type IIA intersecting brane
configuration where there exist three NS5-branes, D4-branes and anti-D4-branes.
By analyzing the gravitational interaction for the D4-branes in the background
of the NS5-branes, the phase structures in different regions of the parameter
space were studied in the context of classical string theory. In this paper, by
adding the orientifold 4-plane and 6-plane to the above brane configuration, we
describe the intersecting brane configurations of type IIA string theory
corresponding to the meta-stable nonsupersymmetric vacua of these gauge
theories.Comment: 21 pp, 6 figures; reduced bytes of figures, DBI action analysis added

Entanglement transfer from continuous variables to qubits
We show that two qubits can be entangled by local interactions with an
entangled two-mode continuous variable state. This is illustrated by the
evolution of two two-level atoms interacting with a two-mode squeezed state.
Two modes of the squeezed field are injected respectively into two spatially
separate cavities and the atoms are then sent into the cavities to resonantly
interact with the cavity field. We find that the atoms may be entangled even by
a two-mode squeezed state which has been decohered while penetrating into the
cavity.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Elementary Excitations in One-Dimensional Electromechanical Systems; Transport with Back-Reaction
Using an exactly solvable model, we study low-energy properties of a
one-dimensional spinless electron fluid contained in a quantum-mechanically
moving wire located in a static magnetic field. The phonon and electric current
are coupled via Lorentz force and the eigenmodes are described by two
independent boson fluids. At low energies, the two boson modes are charged
while one of them has excitation gap due to back-reaction of the Lorentz force.
The theory is illustrated by evaluating optical absorption spectra. Our results
are exact and show a non-perturbative regime of electron transport
Efficient Schemes for Reducing Imperfect Collective Decoherences
We propose schemes that are efficient when each pair of qubits undergoes some
imperfect collective decoherence with different baths. In the proposed scheme,
each pair of qubits is first encoded in a decoherence-free subspace composed of
two qubits. Leakage out of the encoding space generated by the imperfection is
reduced by the quantum Zeno effect. Phase errors in the encoded bits generated
by the imperfection are reduced by concatenation of the decoherence-free
subspace with either a three-qubit quantum error correcting code that corrects
only phase errors or a two-qubit quantum error detecting code that detects only
phase errors, connected with the quantum Zeno effect again.Comment: no correction, 3 pages, RevTe
