Operator-Schmidt decomposition of the quantum Fourier transform on C^N1 tensor C^N2

Operator-Schmidt decompositions of the quantum Fourier transform on C^N1 tensor C^N2 are computed for all N1, N2 > 1. The decomposition is shown to be completely degenerate when N1 is a factor of N2 and when N1>N2. The first known special case, N1=N2=2^n, was computed by Nielsen in his study of the communication cost of computing the quantum Fourier transform of a collection of qubits equally distributed between two parties. [M. A. Nielsen, PhD Thesis, University of New Mexico (1998), Chapter 6, arXiv:quant-ph/0011036.] More generally, the special case N1=2^n1<2^n2=N2 was computed by Nielsen et. al. in their study of strength measures of quantum operations. [M.A. Nielsen et. al, (accepted for publication in Phys Rev A); arXiv:quant-ph/0208077.] Given the Schmidt decompositions presented here, it follows that in all cases the communication cost of exact computation of the quantum Fourier transform is maximal.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX 2e; No changes in results.

On the description of Leibniz superalgebras of nilindex n+m

In this work we investigate the complex Leibniz superalgebras with characteristic sequence (n1, . . . , nk|m) and nilindex n + m, where n = n1 + · · ·+nk, n and m (m 6= 0) are dimensions of even and odd parts, respectively. Such superalgebras with condition n1 ≥ n − 1 were classified in [4]–[5]. Here we prove that in the case n1 ≤ n − 2 the Leibniz superalgebras have nilindex less than n +m. Thus, we get the classification of Leibniz superalgebras with characteristic sequence (n1, . . . , nk|m) and nilindex n +m

Generating all permutations by context-free grammars in Chomsky normal form

Let Ln be the finite language of all n! strings that are permutations of n different symbols (n1). We consider context-free grammars Gn in Chomsky normal form that generate Ln. In particular we study a few families {Gn}n1, satisfying L(Gn)=Ln for n1, with respect to their descriptional complexity, i.e. we determine the number of nonterminal symbols and the number of production rules of Gn as functions of n

Rarita-Schwinger-Weyl semimetal in Jeff=3/2 electron systems

We propose a relativistic Jeff=3/2 semimetal with 4d1 or 5d1 electrons on a cubic lattice when the strong spin-orbital coupling takes over the Hunds' coupling. A relativistic spinor with spin 3/2 is historically called Rarita-Schwinger spinor. In the massless case, the right- and left-handed chiral degrees of freedom of the Rarita-Schwinger spinors are independent. In the lattice model that we propose, the right- and left- handed gapless points in Brillouin zone are separated. We call this linearly dispersed semimetal Rarita-Schwinger-Weyl semimetal, similar to Weyl semimetal for spin 1/2 systems. There is a network of gapless Fermi arcs in the surface Brillouin zone if n1+n2+n3 is even for the normal vector (n1,n2,n3) of the surface while the surface is insulator if n1+n2+n3 is odd.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

Quadratic Dynamical Decoupling with Non-Uniform Error Suppression

We analyze numerically the performance of the near-optimal quadratic dynamical decoupling (QDD) single-qubit decoherence errors suppression method [J. West et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 104, 130501 (2010)]. The QDD sequence is formed by nesting two optimal Uhrig dynamical decoupling sequences for two orthogonal axes, comprising N1 and N2 pulses, respectively. Varying these numbers, we study the decoherence suppression properties of QDD directly by isolating the errors associated with each system basis operator present in the system-bath interaction Hamiltonian. Each individual error scales with the lowest order of the Dyson series, therefore immediately yielding the order of decoherence suppression. We show that the error suppression properties of QDD are dependent upon the parities of N1 and N2, and near-optimal performance is achieved for general single-qubit interactions when N1=N2.Comment: 17 pages, 22 figure

Frequency Estimation Of The First Pinna Notch In Head-Related Transfer Functions With A Linear Anthropometric Model

The relation between anthropometric parameters and Head-Related Transfer Function (HRTF) features, especially those due to the pinna, are not fully understood yet. In this paper we apply signal processing techniques to extract the frequencies of the main pinna notches (known as N1, N2, and N3) in the frontal part of the median plane and build a model relating them to 13 different anthropometric parameters of the pinna, some of which depend on the elevation angle of the sound source. Results show that while the considered anthropometric parameters are not able to approximate with sufficient accuracy neither the N2 nor the N3 frequency, eight of them are sufficient for modeling the frequency of N1 within a psychoacoustically acceptable margin of error. In particular, distances between the ear canal and the outer helix border are the most important parameters for predicting N1

Orthogonal Linear Combinations of Gaussian Type Orbitals

The set of Gaussian Type Orbitals g(n1,n2,n3) of order (n+1)(n+2)/2, of common n=n1+n2+n3<=7, common center and exponential, is customized to define a set of 2n+1 linear combinations t(n,m) (-n<=m<=n) such that each t(n,m) depends on the azimuthal and polar angle of the spherical coordinate system like the real or imaginary part of the associated Spherical Harmonic. (Results cover both Hermite and Cartesian Gaussian Type Orbitals.) Overlap, kinetic energy and Coulomb energy matrix elements are presented for generalized basis functions of the type r^s*t(n,m) (s=0,2,4,...). In addition, normalization integrals int |g(n1,n2,n3)|d^3r are calculated up to n=7 and normalization integrals int |r^s*t(n,m)|d^3r up to n=5.Comment: 13 pages, no figures, REVTeX4. Corrected eqs.
