Information-entropic measures for non-zero l states of confined hydrogen-like ions

Relative Fisher information (IR), which is a measure of correlative fluctuation between two probability densities, has been pursued for a number of quantum systems, such as, 1D quantum harmonic oscillator (QHO) and a few central potentials namely, 3D isotropic QHO, hydrogen atom and pseudoharmonic potential (PHP) in both position ($r$) and momentum ($p$) spaces. In the 1D case, the $n=0$ state is chosen as reference, whereas for a central potential, the respective circular or node-less (corresponding to lowest radial quantum number $n_{r}$) state of a given $l$ quantum number, is selected. Starting from their exact wave functions, expressions of IR in both $r$ and $p$ spaces are obtained in closed analytical forms in all these systems. A careful analysis reveals that, for the 1D QHO, IR in both coordinate spaces increase linearly with quantum number $n$. Likewise, for 3D QHO and PHP, it varies with single power of radial quantum number $n_{r}$ in both spaces. But, in H atom they depend on both principal ($n$) and azimuthal ($l$) quantum numbers. However, at a fixed $l$, IR (in conjugate spaces) initially advance with rise of $n$ and then falls off; also for a given $n$, it always decreases with $l$

Two-Baryon Systems with Twisted Boundary Conditions

We explore the use of twisted boundary conditions in extracting the nucleon mass and the binding energy of two-baryon systems, such as the deuteron, from Lattice QCD calculations. Averaging the results of calculations performed with periodic and anti-periodic boundary conditions imposed upon the light-quark fields, or other pair-wise averages, improves the volume dependence of the deuteron binding energy from ~exp(-kappa*L)/L to ~exp(-sqrt(2)kappa*L)/L. However, a twist angle of pi/2 in each of the spatial directions improves the volume dependence from ~exp(-kappa*L)/L to ~exp(-2kappa*L)/L. Twist averaging the binding energy with a random sampling of twist angles improves the volume dependence from ~exp^(-kappa*L)/L to ~exp(-2kappa*L)/L, but with a standard deviation of ~exp(-kappa*L)/L, introducing a signal-to-noise issue in modest lattice volumes. Using the experimentally determined phase shifts and mixing angles, we determine the expected energies of the deuteron states over a range of cubic lattice volumes for a selection of twisted boundary conditions.Comment: 20 pages, 3 figure

On the relation between states and maps in infinite dimensions

Relations between states and maps, which are known for quantum systems in finite-dimensional Hilbert spaces, are formulated rigorously in geometrical terms with no use of coordinate (matrix) interpretation. In a tensor product realization they are represented simply by a permutation of factors. This leads to natural generalizations for infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces and a simple proof of a generalized Choi Theorem. The natural framework is based on spaces of Hilbert-Schmidt operators $\mathcal{L}_2(\mathcal{H}_2,\mathcal{H}_1)$ and the corresponding tensor products $\mathcal{H}_1\otimes\mathcal{H}_2^*$ of Hilbert spaces. It is proved that the corresponding isomorphisms cannot be naturally extended to compact (or bounded) operators, nor reduced to the trace-class operators. On the other hand, it is proven that there is a natural continuous map $\mathcal{C}:\mathcal{L}_1(\mathcal{L}_2(\mathcal{H}_2,\mathcal{H}_1))\to \mathcal{L}_\infty(\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{H}_2),\mathcal{L}_1(\mathcal{H}_1))$ from trace-class operators on $\mathcal{L}_2(\mathcal{H}_2,\mathcal{H}_1)$ (with the nuclear norm) into compact operators mapping the space of all bounded operators on $\mathcal{H}_2$ into trace class operators on $\mathcal{H}_1$ (with the operator-norm). Also in the infinite-dimensional context, the Schmidt measure of entanglement and multipartite generalizations of state-maps relations are considered in the paper.Comment: 19 page

Quasisplit Hecke algebras and symmetric spaces

Let (G,K) be a symmetric pair over an algebraically closed field of characteristic different of 2 and let sigma be an automorphism with square 1 of G preserving K. In this paper we consider the set of pairs (O,L) where O is a sigma-stable K-orbit on the flag manifold of G and L is an irreducible K-equivariant local system on O which is "fixed" by sigma. Given two such pairs (O,L), (O',L'), with O' in the closure \bar O of O, the multiplicity space of L' in the a cohomology sheaf of the intersection cohomology of \bar O with coefficients in L (restricted to O') carries an involution induced by sigma and we are interested in computing the dimensions of its +1 and -1 eigenspaces. We show that this computation can be done in terms of a certain module structure over a quasisplit Hecke algebra on a space spanned by the pairs (O,L) as above.Comment: 46 pages. Version 2 reorganizes the explicit calculation of the Hecke module, includes details about computing \bar, and corrects small misprints. Version 3 adds two pages relating this paper to unitary representation theory, corrects misprints, and displays more equations. Version 4 corrects misprints, and adds two cases previously neglected at the end of 7.
