Multi-partite entanglement and quantum phase transition in the one-, two-, and three-dimensional transverse field Ising model
In this paper we consider the quantum phase transition in the Ising model in
the presence of a transverse field in one, two and three dimensions from a
multi-partite entanglement point of view. Using \emph{exact} numerical
solutions, we are able to study such systems up to 25 qubits. The Meyer-Wallach
measure of global entanglement is used to study the critical behavior of this
model. The transition we consider is between a symmetric GHZ-like state to a
paramagnetic product-state. We find that global entanglement serves as a good
indicator of quantum phase transition with interesting scaling behavior. We use
finite-size scaling to extract the critical point as well as some critical
exponents for the one and two dimensional models. Our results indicate that
such multi-partite measure of global entanglement shows universal features
regardless of dimension . Our results also provides evidence that
multi-partite entanglement is better suited for the study of quantum phase
transitions than the much studied bi-partite measures.Comment: 7 pages, 8 Figures. To appear in Physical Review
A Comparison of the effectiveness of cooperative and individual teaching methods on educational achievement of English in grade one of high school
The purpose of this study was to compare cooperative teaching and individual teaching on educational achievement in English in grade one of high school (female students). This study is a quasi-experimental study with pre-test- and post- test with two experimental groups. The Statistical population was high school's first grade female students of Mahabad. For sampling, multi-stage cluster sampling was used. The sample size was 52 consist of 25 and 27 members in the experimental group (1) and (2) in which cooperation and individual teaching methods were used respectively. In order to equalize the members of groups the student's GPA were controlled and pre-test and IQ test were done. The results showed no significant difference between groups.The pre-test was a researcher-made. Reliability of the pre-test was obtained 0.83. The cooperative and individual methods were done for 2 months and then post- test was carried out. The results showed no significant differences between them. T-test analyzes shows significant differences between the two groups so that the first experimental group (cooperative) showed better performance in educational achievement
Vibration-enhanced quantum transport
In this paper, we study the role of collective vibrational motion in the
phenomenon of electronic energy transfer (EET) along a chain of coupled
electronic dipoles with varying excitation frequencies. Previous experimental
work on EET in conjugated polymer samples has suggested that the common
structural framework of the macromolecule introduces correlations in the energy
gap fluctuations which cause coherent EET. Inspired by these results, we
present a simple model in which a driven nanomechanical resonator mode
modulates the excitation energy of coupled quantum dots and find that this can
indeed lead to an enhancement in the transport of excitations across the
quantum network. Disorder of the on-site energies is a key requirement for this
to occur. We also show that in this solid state system phase information is
partially retained in the transfer process, as experimentally demonstrated in
conjugated polymer samples. Consequently, this mechanism of vibration enhanced
quantum transport might find applications in quantum information transfer of
qubit states or entanglement.Comment: 7 pages, 6 figures, new material, included references, final

Adiabatic entanglement transport in Rydberg aggregates
We consider the interplay between excitonic and atomic motion in a regular,
flexible chain of Rydberg atoms, extending our recent results on entanglement
transport in Rydberg chains [W\"uster et al., Phys.Rev.Lett 105 053004 (2010)].
In such a Rydberg chain, similar to molecular aggregates, an electronic
excitation is delocalised due to long range dipole-dipole interactions among
the atoms. The transport of an exciton that is initially trapped by a chain
dislocation is strongly coupled to nuclear dynamics, forming a localised pulse
of combined excitation and displacement. This pulse transfers entanglement
between dislocated atoms adiabatically along the chain. Details about the
interaction and the preparation of the initial state are discussed. We also
present evidence that the quantum dynamics of this complex many-body problem
can be accurately described by selected quantum-classical methods, which
greatly simplify investigations of excitation transport in flexible chains
Quantum transport in quantum networks and photosynthetic complexes at the steady state
Recently, several works have analysed the efficiency of photosynthetic
complexes in a transient scenario and how that efficiency is affected by
environmental noise. Here, following a quantum master equation approach, we
study the energy and excitation transport in fully connected networks both in
general and in the particular case of the Fenna-Matthew-Olson complex. The
analysis is carried out for the steady state of the system where the excitation
energy is constantly "flowing" through the system. Steady state transport
scenarios are particularly relevant if the evolution of the quantum system is
not conditioned on the arrival of individual excitations. By adding dephasing
to the system, we analyse the possibility of noise-enhancement of the quantum
transport.Comment: 10 pages, single column, 6 figures. Accepted for publication in Plos
