Effective Operator Treatment of the Lipkin Model
We analyze the Lipkin Model using effective operator techniques. We present
both analytical and numerical results for effective Hamiltonians. The accuracy
of the cluster approximation is investigated.Comment: To appear in Phys.Rev.
Raw-data attacks in quantum cryptography with partial tomography
We consider a variant of the BB84 protocol for quantum cryptography, the
prototype of tomographically incomplete protocols, where the key is generated
by one-way communication rather than the usual two-way communication. Our
analysis, backed by numerical evidence, establishes thresholds for
eavesdropping attacks on the raw data and on the generated key at quantum bit
error rates of 10% and 6.15%, respectively. Both thresholds are lower than the
threshold for unconditional security in the standard BB84 protocol.Comment: 11 pages, 2 figure
Aging dynamics of ferromagnetic and reentrant spin glass phases in stage-2 CuCCl graphite intercalation compound
Aging dynamics of a reentrant ferromagnet stage-2
CuCoCl graphite intercalation compound has been studied
using DC magnetic susceptibility. This compound undergoes successive
transitions at the transition temperatures ( K) and
( K). The relaxation rate exhibits a
characteristic peak at below . The peak time as a
function of temperature shows a local maximum around 5.5 K, reflecting a
frustrated nature of the ferromagnetic phase. It drastically increases with
decreasing temperature below . The spin configuration imprinted at the
stop and wait process at a stop temperature () during the
field-cooled aging protocol, becomes frozen on further cooling. On reheating,
the memory of the aging at is retrieved as an anomaly of the
thermoremnant magnetization at . These results indicate the occurrence
of the aging phenomena in the ferromagnetic phase () as well
as in the reentrant spin glass phase ().Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures; submitted to Physical Review
p-Wave superfluid and phase separation in atomic Bose-Fermi mixture
We consider a system of repulsively interacting Bose-Fermi mixtures of spin
polarized uniform atomic gases at zero temperature. We examine possible
realization of p-wave superfluidity of fermions due to an effective attractive
interaction via density fluctuations of Bose-Einstein condensate within
mean-field approximation. We find the ground state of the system by direct
energy comparison of p-wave superfluid and phase-separated states, and suggest
an occurrence of the p-wave superfluid for a strong boson-fermion interaction
regime. We study some signatures in the p-wave superfluid phase, such as
anisotropic energy gap and quasi-particle energy in the axial state, that have
not been observed in spin unpolarized superfluid of atomic fermions. We also
show that a Cooper pair is a tightly bound state like a diatomic molecule in
the strong boson-fermion coupling regime and suggest an observable indication
of the p-wave superfluid in the real experiment.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figur
