Co-Poisson structures on polynomial Hopf algebras

The Hopf dual $H^\circ$ of any Poisson Hopf algebra $H$ is proved to be a co-Poisson Hopf algebra provided $H$ is noetherian. Without noetherian assumption, it is not true in general. There is no nontrivial Poisson Hopf structure on the universal enveloping algebra of a non-abelian Lie algebra. The Poisson Hopf structures on $A=k[x_1, x_2, \cdots, x_d]$, viewed as the universal enveloping algebra of a finite-dimensional abelian Lie algebra, are exactly linear Poisson structures on $A$. The co-Poisson structures on polynomial Hopf algebra $A$ are characterized. Some correspondences between co-Poisson and Poisson structures are also established.Comment: This paper has been accepted for publication in SCIENCE CHINA Mathematic

Pulse Width Modulation for Speeding Up Quantum Optimal Control Design

This paper focuses on accelerating quantum optimal control design for complex quantum systems. Based on our previous work [{arXiv:1607.04054}], we combine Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) and gradient descent algorithm into solving quantum optimal control problems, which shows distinct improvement of computational efficiency in various cases. To further apply this algorithm to potential experiments, we also propose the smooth realization of the optimized control solution, e.g. using Gaussian pulse train to replace rectangular pulses. Based on the experimental data of the D-Norleucine molecule, we numerically find optimal control functions in $3$-qubit and $6$-qubit systems, and demonstrate its efficiency advantage compared with basic GRAPE algorithm

Extended Bose-Hubbard model with pair tunneling: spontaneous symmetry breaking, effective ground state and fragmentation

The extended Bose-Hubbard model for a double-well potential with pair tunneling is studied through both exact diagonalization and mean field theory (MFT). When pair tunneling is strong enough, the ground state wavefunction predicted by the MFT is complex and doubly degenerate while the quantum ground state wavefunction is always real and unique. The time reversal symmetry is spontaneously broken when the system transfers from the quantum ground state into one of the mean field ground states upon a small perturbation. As the gap between the lowest two levels decreases exponentially with particle number, the required perturbation inducing the spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) is infinitesimal for particle number of typical cold atom systems. The quantum ground state is further analyzed with the Penrose-Onsager criterion, and is found to be a fragmented condensate. The state also develops the pair correlation and has non-vanishing pair order parameter instead of the conventional single particle order parameter. When this model is generalized to optical lattice, a pair superfluid can be generated. The mean field ground state can be regarded as effective ground state in this simple model. The detailed computation for this model enables us to offer an in-depth discussion of the relation between SSB and effective ground state, giving a glimpse on how nonlinearity arises in the SSB of a quantum system.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figure
