Entanglement generation in spatially separated systems using quantum walk
We present a novel scheme to generate entanglement between two spatially
separated systems. The scheme makes use of spatial entanglement generated by a
single-particle quantum walk which is used to entangle two spatially separated,
not necessarily correlated, systems. This scheme can be used to entangle any
two systems which can interact with the spatial modes entangled during the
quantum walk evolution. A notable feature is that we can control the quantum
walk dynamics and its ability to localize leads to a substantial control and
improvement in the entanglement output.Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
Explicit Bosonization of the Massive Thirring Model in 3+1 Dimensions
We bosonize the Massive Thirring Model in 3+1D for small coupling constant
and arbitrary mass. The bosonized action is explicitly obtained both in terms
of a Kalb-Ramond tensor field as well as in terms of a dual vector field. An
exact bosonization formula for the current is derived. The small and large mass
limits of the bosonized theory are examined in both the direct and dual forms.
We finally obtain the exact bosonization of the free fermion with an arbitrary
mass.Comment: Latex, 7 page
Fusion of light proton-rich exotic nuclei at near-barrier energies
We study theoretically fusion of the light proton-rich exotic nuclei F
and B at near-barrier energies in order to investigate the possible role of
breakup processes on their fusion cross sections. To this end, coupled channel
calculations are performed considering the couplings to the breakup channels of
these projectiles. In case of F, the coupling arising out of the
inelastic excitation from the ground state to the bound excited state and its
couplings to the continuum have also been taken into consideration. It is found
that the inelastic excitation/breakup of F affect the fusion cross
sections very nominally even for a heavy target like Pb. On the other hand,
calculations for fusion of the one-proton halo nucleus B on a Pb target
show a significant suppression of the complete fusion cross section above the
Coulomb barrier. This is due to the larger breakup probability of B as
compared to that of F. However, even for B, there is little change
in the complete fusion cross sections as compared to the no-coupling case at
sub-barrier energies.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figures, Revtex.st
Enhancement of Geometric Phase by Frustration of Decoherence: A Parrondo like Effect
Geometric phase plays an important role in evolution of pure or mixed quantum
states. However, when a system undergoes decoherence the development of
geometric phase may be inhibited. Here, we show that when a quantum system
interacts with two competing environments there can be enhancement of geometric
phase. This effect is akin to Parrondo like effect on the geometric phase which
results from quantum frustration of decoherence. Our result suggests that the
mechanism of two competing decoherence can be useful in fault-tolerant
holonomic quantum computation.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figures, Published versio
Study of Dissipative Collisions of Ne (7-11 MeV/nucleon) + Al
The inclusive energy distributions of complex fragments (3 Z 9)
emitted in the reactions Ne (145, 158, 200, 218 MeV) + Al have
been measured in the angular range 10 - 50. The fusion-fission and
the deep-inelastic components of the fragment yield have been extracted using
multiple Gaussian functions from the experimental fragment energy spectra. The
elemental yields of the fusion-fission component have been found to be fairly
well exlained in the framework of standard statistical model. It is found that
there is strong competition between the fusion-fission and the deep-inelastic
processes at these energies. The time scale of the deep-inelastic process was
estimated to be typically in the range of 10 - 10 sec.,
and it was found to decrease with increasing fragment mass. The angular
momentum dissipations in fully energy damped deep-inelastic process have been
estimated from the average energies of the deep-inelastic components of the
fragment energy spectra. It has been found that, the estimated angular momentum
dissipations, for lighter fragments in particular, are more than those
predicted by the empirical sticking limit.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figure
Characterization of fragment emission in ^{20}Ne (7 - 10 MeV/nucleon) + ^{12}C reactions
The inclusive energy distributions of the complex fragments (3 Z
7) emitted from the bombardment of ^{12}C by ^{20}Ne beams with incident
energies between 145 and 200 MeV have been measured in the angular range
10 50^{o}. Damped fragment yields in all the cases
have been found to be the characteristic of emission from fully energy
equilibrated composites. The binary fragment yields are compared with the
standard statistical model predictions. Enhanced yields of entrance channel
fragments (5 Z 7) indicate the survival of orbiting-like process
in ^{20}Ne + ^{12}C system at these energies.Comment: 18 pages, 13 figure
