On the theory of magnetic field dependence of heat conductivity in dielectric in isotropic model
Phonon polarization in a magnetic field is analyzed in isotropic model. It is
shown, that at presence of spin-phonon interaction phonon possess circular
polari-zation which causes the appearance of heat flux component perpendicular
both to temperature gradient and magnetic field.Comment: 5 pages, 0 figure
Hellmann and Feynman theorem versus diffusion Monte Carlo experiment
In a computer experiment the choice of suitable estimators to measure a
physical quantity plays an important role. We propose a new direct route to
determine estimators for observables which do not commute with the Hamiltonian.
Our new route makes use of the Hellmann and Feynman theorem and in a diffusion
Monte Carlo simulation it introduces a new bias to the measure due to the
choice of the auxiliary function. This bias is independent from the usual one
due to the choice of the trial wave function. We used our route to measure the
radial distribution function of a spin one half Fermion fluid.Comment: 7 pages, 1 figure, 1 tabl
Electrically controlling single spin qubits in a continuous microwave field
Large-scale quantum computers must be built upon quantum bits that are both
highly coherent and locally controllable. We demonstrate the quantum control of
the electron and the nuclear spin of a single 31P atom in silicon, using a
continuous microwave magnetic field together with nanoscale electrostatic
gates. The qubits are tuned into resonance with the microwave field by a local
change in electric field, which induces a Stark shift of the qubit energies.
This method, known as A-gate control, preserves the excellent coherence times
and gate fidelities of isolated spins, and can be extended to arbitrarily many
qubits without requiring multiple microwave sources.Comment: Main paper: 13 pages, 4 figures. Supplementary information: 25 pages,

Meson and Quark Degrees of Freedom and the Radius of the Deuteron
The existing experimental data for the deuteron charge radius are discussed.
The data of elastic electron scattering are inconsistent with the value
obtained in a recent atomic physics experiment. Theoretical predictions based
on a nonrelativistic description of the deuteron with realistic nucleon-nucleon
potentials and with a rather complete set of meson-exchange contributions to
the charge operator are presented. Corrections arising from the quark-gluon
substructure of the nucleon are explored in a nonrelativistic quark model; the
quark-gluon corrections, not accounted for by meson exchange, are small. Our
prediction for the deuteron charge radius favors the value of a recent atomic
physics experiment.Comment: 20 pages, LaTeX, 4 Postscript figures, to appear in Few-Body-System
