Susceptibility of a two-level atom near an isotropic photonic band edge: transparency and band edge profile reconstruction
We discuss the necessary conditions for a two-level system in the presence of
an isotropic band edge to be transparent to a probe laser field. The two-level
atom is transparent whenever it is coupled to a reservoir constituted of two
parts - a flat and a non-flat density of modes representing a PBG structure. A
proposal on the reconstruction of the band edge profile from the experimentally
measured susceptibility is also presented.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figure
Characterization and quantification of symmetric Gaussian state entanglement through a local classicality criterion
A necessary and sufficient condition for characterization and quantification
of entanglement of any bipartite Gaussian state belonging to a special symmetry
class is given in terms of classicality measures of one-party states. For
Gaussian states whose local covariance matrices have equal determinants it is
shown that separability of a two-party state and classicality of one party
state are completely equivalent to each other under a nonlocal operation,
allowing entanglement features to be understood in terms of any available
classicality measure.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure. Replaced with final published versio
Thermal dependence of the zero-bias conductance through a nanostructure
We show that the conductance of a quantum wire side-coupled to a quantum dot,
with a gate potential favoring the formation of a dot magnetic moment, is a
universal function of the temperature. Universality prevails even if the
currents through the dot and the wire interfere. We apply this result to the
experimental data of Sato et al.[Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 066801 (2005)].Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures. More detailed presentation, and updated
references. Final version
Towards a knowledge-based system to assist the Brazilian data-collecting system operation
A study is reported which was carried out to show how a knowledge-based approach would lead to a flexible tool to assist the operation task in a satellite-based environmental data collection system. Some characteristics of a hypothesized system comprised of a satellite and a network of Interrogable Data Collecting Platforms (IDCPs) are pointed out. The Knowledge-Based Planning Assistant System (KBPAS) and some aspects about how knowledge is organized in the IDCP's domain are briefly described
Protecting, Enhancing and Reviving Entanglement
We propose a strategies not only to protect but also to enhance and revive
the entanglement in a double Jaynes-Cummings model. We show that such
surprising features arises when Zeno-like measurements are performed during the
dynamical process
