Decoherence of tripartite states - a trapped ion coupled to an optical cavity
We investigate the non-dissipative decoherence of three qubit system obtained
by manipulating the state of a trapped two-level ion coupled to an optical
cavity. Modelling the environment as a set of noninteracting harmonic
oscillators, analytical expressions for the state operator of tripartite
composite system, the probability of generating maximally entangled GHZ state,
and the population inversion have been obtained. The pointer observable is the
energy of the isolated quantum system. Coupling to environment results in
exponential decay of off diagonal matrix elements of the state operator with
time as well as a phase decoherence of the component states.
Numerical calculations to examine the time evolution of GHZ state generation
probability and population inversion for different system environment coupling
strengths are performed. Using negativity as an entanglement measure and linear
entropy as a measure of mixedness, the entanglement dynamics of the tripartite
system in the presence of decoherence is analysed.Comment: Revised version, errors corrected and references added. 12 pages, 6

Micromorfologia aplicada a morfometria de agregados.
A morfometria geralmente é utilizada para análise grãos em pedologia, no entanto este trabalho teve como objetivo utilizar a técnica da micromorfologia para estudo de morfometria de agregados dos solos para que possa servir como subsídio a caracterização da estrutura do solo em escala micro. Foi realizada análise de 8 lâminas correspondente a diferentes classes de solos. Foram calculadas a porosidade e atributos morfométricos, como: área, perímetro, arredondamento, maior eixo e menor eixo utilizando o software Quantiporo. Com auxílio do Microsoft® Office Excel complementou-se os atributos alongamento e compacidade dos agregados. Em geral, os resultados de porosidade concordam com classe textural e estrutura de cada perfil, encontrando-se maior porosidade em solos mais argilosos e siltosos do que nos arenosos; isso devido a quantidade de microporos nesses solos. Encontraram-se maiores semelhanças dos atributos de solos nas classes de tamanho de agregados do que em relação as diferentes classes de solos. Mesmo sendo analisada uma parte muito pequena de solo para representar uma classe de solo, os resultados mostraram coerência, visto que, houve uma similaridade entre os perfis de mesma classe e também aqueles representando uma mesma profundidade (0-10 cm)
Nonadiabatic coherent evolution of two-level systems under spontaneous decay
In this paper we extend current perspectives in engineering reservoirs by
producing a time-dependent master equation leading to a nonstationary
superposition equilibrium state that can be nonadiabatically controlled by the
system-reservoir parameters. Working with an ion trapped inside a nonindeal
cavity we first engineer effective Hamiltonians that couple the electronic
states of the ion with the cavity mode. Subsequently, two classes of
decoherence-free evolution of the superposition of the ground and decaying
excited levels are achieved: those with time-dependent azimuthal or polar
angle. As an application, we generalise the purpose of an earlier study [Phys.
Rev. Lett. 96, 150403 (2006)], showing how to observe the geometric phases
acquired by the protected nonstationary states even under a nonadiabatic
evolution.Comment: 5 pages, no figure
Proposta metodológica para avaliação da efetividade das políticas sociais para agricultores familiares do Estado de Goiás.
O objetivo principal desse artigo é realizar uma revisão bibliográfica e uma proposta metodológica para avaliar as efetividades sociais das políticas públicas para os agricultores familiares do estado de Goiás. Os programas escolhidos pelas suas representatividades sociais e econômicas para o campo e especificamente para a agricultura familiar, sujeito deste trabalho, são o Programa Nacional da Alimentação Escolar (PNAE), o Programas de Aquisição de Alimentos (PAA) da Agricultura Familiar. Também será abordado o Programa Bolsa Família, que não se trata da temática da segurança alimentar, mas que é um programa social de grande inserção no meio rural, especificamente para os agricultores familiares, e com a hipótese que tem efeitos significativos em elementos de segurança alimentar dos agricultores familiares do território em questão
Spin-glass behaviour on random lattices
The ground-state phase diagram of an Ising spin-glass model on a random graph
with an arbitrary fraction of ferromagnetic interactions is analysed in the
presence of an external field. Using the replica method, and performing an
analysis of stability of the replica-symmetric solution, it is shown that
, correponding to an unbiased spin glass, is a singular point in the
phase diagram, separating a region with a spin-glass phase () from a
region with spin-glass, ferromagnetic, mixed, and paramagnetic phases

Scarring by homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits
In addition to the well known scarring effect of periodic orbits, we show
here that homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits, which are cornerstones in the
theory of classical chaos, also scar eigenfunctions of classically chaotic
systems when associated closed circuits in phase space are properly quantized,
thus introducing strong quantum correlations. The corresponding quantization
rules are also established. This opens the door for developing computationally
tractable methods to calculate eigenstates of chaotic systems.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Rheological Behaviour of PP Nanocomposites by Extrusion Process
The effect of organophilic clay (C15A) in PP compatibilized polymer (PP/PP-g-MA) through rheological experimental results is presented. This study focusses on the description of the rheological behaviour of the organophilic layers along the screws of a twin screw extruder by melting process, varying the screw profile as well as the processing conditions, namely screw speed, temperature and feed rate. Different levels of dispersion were found along the screws for all conditions and positions analyzed by rheology. The qualitative analysis of the images obtained by transmission electron microscopy, reinforced the results. Furthermore, the effects of the processing conditions on dispersion of C15A layers along the screw profile are analyzed using multiple linear regression techniques. The results show statistically significant differences of all rheology measures for all the processing conditions and positions along the extruder.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
