Adiabatic quantum state transfer in non-uniform triple-quantum-dot system
We introduce an adiabatic quantum state transfer scheme in a non-uniform
coupled triple-quantum-dot system. By adiabatically varying the external gate
voltage applied on the sender and receiver, the electron can be transferred
between them with high fidelity. By numerically solving the master equation for
a system with always-on interaction, it is indicated that the transfer fidelity
depends on the ration between the peak voltage and the maximum coupling
constants. The effect of coupling mismatch on the transfer fidelity is also
investigated and it is shown that there is a relatively large tolerance range
to permit high fidelity quantum state transfer.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figure
Secure Massive MIMO Communication with Low-resolution DACs
In this paper, we investigate secure transmission in a massive multiple-input
multiple-output (MIMO) system adopting low-resolution digital-to-analog
converters (DACs). Artificial noise (AN) is deliberately transmitted
simultaneously with the confidential signals to degrade the eavesdropper's
channel quality. By applying the Bussgang theorem, a DAC quantization model is
developed which facilitates the analysis of the asymptotic achievable secrecy
rate. Interestingly, for a fixed power allocation factor , low-resolution
DACs typically result in a secrecy rate loss, but in certain cases they provide
superior performance, e.g., at low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Specifically,
we derive a closed-form SNR threshold which determines whether low-resolution
or high-resolution DACs are preferable for improving the secrecy rate.
Furthermore, a closed-form expression for the optimal is derived. With
AN generated in the null-space of the user channel and the optimal ,
low-resolution DACs inevitably cause secrecy rate loss. On the other hand, for
random AN with the optimal , the secrecy rate is hardly affected by the
DAC resolution because the negative impact of the quantization noise can be
compensated for by reducing the AN power. All the derived analytical results
are verified by numerical simulations.Comment: 14 pages, 10 figure
Internal Josephson-Like Tunneling in Two-Component Bose-Einstein Condensates Affected by Sign of the Atomic Interaction and External Trapping Potential
We study the Josephson-like tunneling in two-component Bose-Einstein
condensates coupled with microwave field in respond to various attractive and
repulsive atomic interaction under the various aspect ratio of trapping
potential and the gravitational field. It is very interesting to find that the
dynamic of Josephson-like tunneling can be controlled from fast damped
oscillations and asymmetric occupation to nondamped oscillation and symmetric
occupation.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Short-range incommensurate magnetic order near the superconducting phase boundary in Fe(1+d)Te(1-x)Se(x)
We performed elastic neutron scattering and magnetization measurements on
Fe(1.07)Te(0.75)Se(0.25) and FeTe(0.7)Se(0.3). Short-range incommensurate
magnetic order is observed in both samples. In the former sample with higher Fe
content, a broad magnetic peak appears around (0.46,0,0.5) at low temperature,
while in FeTe(0.7)Se(0.3) the broad magnetic peak is found to be closer to the
antiferromagnetic (AFM) wave-vector (0.5,0,0.5). The incommensurate peaks are
only observed on one side of the AFM wave-vector for both samples, which can be
modeled in terms of an imbalance of ferromagnetic/antiferromagnetic
correlations between nearest-neighbor spins. We also find that with higher Se
(and lower Fe) concentration, the magnetic order becomes weaker while the
superconducting temperature and volume increase.Comment: Version as appeared in PR
Measuring the Fourth Generation b --> s Quadrangle at the LHC
We show that simultaneous precision measurement of the CP-violating phase in
time-dependent Bs --> J/psi phi study and the Bs --> mu+ mu- rate, together
with measuring m_t' by direct search at the LHC, would determine
V_{t's}^*V_{t'b} and therefore the b --> s quadrangle in the four-generation
standard model. The forward-backward asymmetry in B --> K* l+ l- provides
further discrimination.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures, revised based on LHC results released in this

Hamiltonian description of singular Lagrangian systems with spontaneously broken time translation symmetry
Shapere and Wilczek recently found some singular Lagrangian systems which
spontaneously breaks time translation symmetry. The common feature of their
models is that the energy functions are multivalued in terms of the canonical
phase space variables and the symmetry breaking ground states are all located
at the brunching point singularities. By enlarging the phase space and making
use of Dirac's theory on constrained Hamiltonian systems, we present the
Hamiltonian description of some of the models discussed by Shapere and Wilczek
and found that both the multivaluedness and the brunching point singularities
can be avoided, while the spontaneous breaking oftime translation becomes more
transparent. It is also shown that the breaking of time translation is always
accompanied by the breaking of time reversal.Comment: 13 page
The X-ray afterglow of GRB 081109A: clue to the wind bubble structure
We present the prompt BAT and afterglow XRT data of Swift-discovered
GRB081109A up to ~ 5\times 10^5 sec after the trigger, and the early
ground-based optical follow-ups. The temporal and spectral indices of the X-ray
afterglow emission change remarkably. We interpret this as the GRB jet first
traversing the freely expanding supersonic stellar wind of the progenitor with
density varying as . Then after approximately 300 sec the
jet traverses into a region of apparent constant density similar to that
expected in the stalled-wind region of a stellar wind bubble or the
interstellar medium (ISM). The optical afterglow data are generally consistent
with such a scenario. Our best numerical model has a wind density parameter
{, a density of the stalled wind ,
and a transition radius cm}. Such a transition
radius is smaller than that predicted by numerical simulations of the stellar
wind bubbles and may be due to a rapidly evolving wind of the progenitor close
to the time of its core-collapse.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, 2 tables, MNRAS accepted for publicatio
