A very brief introduction to quantum computing and quantum information theory for mathematicians
This is a very brief introduction to quantum computing and quantum
information theory, primarily aimed at geometers. Beyond basic definitions and
examples, I emphasize aspects of interest to geometers, especially connections
with asymptotic representation theory. Proofs of most statements can be found
in standard references
Quantitative MRFM characterization of the autonomous and forced dynamics in a spin transfer nano-oscillator
Using a magnetic resonance force microscope (MRFM), the power emitted by a
spin transfer nano-oscillator consisting of a normally magnetized PyCuPy
circular nanopillar is measured both in the autonomous and forced regimes. From
the power behavior in the subcritical region of the autonomous dynamics, one
obtains a quantitative measurement of the threshold current and of the noise
level. Their field dependence directly yields both the spin torque efficiency
acting on the thin layer and the nature of the mode which first
auto-oscillates: the lowest energy, spatially most uniform spin-wave mode. From
the MRFM behavior in the forced dynamics, it is then demonstrated that in order
to phase-lock this auto-oscillating mode, the external source must have the
same spatial symmetry as the mode profile, i.e., a uniform microwave field must
be used rather than a microwave current flowing through the nanopillar
Semileptonic charm decays D \to \pi l \nu_{\l} and from QCD Light-Cone Sum Rules
We present a new calculation of the and form factors from
QCD light-cone sum rules. The scheme for the -quark mass is
used and the input parameters are updated. The results are , and
. Combining the calculated form
factors with the latest CLEO data, we obtain and
where the first and second errors are of experimental origin and the third
error is due to the estimated uncertainties of our calculation. We also
evaluate the form factors and and predict the slope
parameters at . Furthermore, calculating the form factors from the sum
rules at , we fit them to various parameterizations. After analytic
continuation, the shape of the form factors in the whole
semileptonic region is reproduced, in a good agreement with experiment.Comment: 34 pages, 5 figure
Persistence of characteristics of an ordered flux line lattice above the second peak in
We report Small Angle Neutron Scattering measurements of the flux lines
lattice (FLL) in . As previously reported, the
scattered intensity decreases strongly when the magnetic field is increased,
but it remains measurable far above the second peak. The direct observation of
Bragg peaks proves that the characteristics of a lattice are still present. No
structural features related to a symmetry breaking, such as a liquid like or an
amorphous state, can be observed. However, the associated scattered intensity
is very low and is difficult to explain. We discuss the coexistence between two
FLL states as a possible interpretation.Comment: accepted for publication in Phys Rev
Form Factors and Strong Couplings of Heavy Baryons from QCD Light-Cone Sum Rules
We derive QCD light-cone sum rules for the hadronic matrix elements of the
heavy baryon transitions to nucleon. In the correlation functions the
and -baryons are interpolated by three-quark
currents and the nucleon distribution amplitudes are used. To eliminate the
contributions of negative parity heavy baryons, we combine the sum rules
obtained from different kinematical structures. The results are then less
sensitive to the choice of the interpolating current. We predict the
form factor and calculate the widths of the and decays. Furthermore, we consider double
dispersion relations for the same correlation functions and derive the
light-cone sum rules for the and strong
couplings. Their predicted values can be used in the models of charm production
in collisions.Comment: 45 pages, 3 figure
Current Productions Carnuntum, German Limes and Radiopast
[EN] The here presented three chosen projects mark out different techniques of production and their transmission of content. The differentiated impact on the public absorption of the transported content are described dependent to experiences with it in exhibitions and publications, and can be used to rectify future approaches of similar topics. In most of these productions, technical difficulties were observed and solved through extensive use of different tools and techniques to achieve a reasonable output and represent our current state of knowledge which we would like to share. The documentation of the production as well as the communication between the production and research team is indispensable to the sucsess of these media formats.[ES] Presento tres proyectos elegidos que delimitan técnicas diferentes de la producción y su transmisión de contenido.

Star-shaped Local Density of States around Vortices in a Type II Superconductor
The electronic structure of vortices in a type II superconductor is analyzed
within the quasi-classical Eilenberger framework. The possible origin of a
sixfold ``star'' shape of the local density of states, observed by scanning
tunneling microscope experiments on NbSe, is examined in the light of the
three effects; the anisotropic pairing, the vortex lattice, and the anisotropic
density of states at the Fermi surface. Outstanding features of split parallel
rays of this star are well explained in terms of an anisotropic -wave
pairing. This reveals a rich internal electronic structure associated with a
vortex core.Comment: 4 pages, REVTeX, 3 figures available upon reques
