Rare kaon decays in SUSY with non-universal A terms
We study the rare kaon decays in the framework of general SUSY models. Unlike
the results in the literature, we find the contributions from the gluino
exchange to the branching ratio of can reach the
central value () of the new E787 data while the
predicted value of standard model is less than . We also find that
the same effects also enhance the decays of ,

Comment on "Quantum key distribution without alternative measurements"
In a recent paper [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. A 61, 052312 (2000)], a quantum key
distribution protocol based on entanglement swapping was proposed. However, in
this comment, it is shown that this protocol is insecure if Eve use a special
strategy to attack.Comment: 2 Pages, 1 Figur
Solvable Systems of Linear Differential Equations
The asymptotic iteration method (AIM) is an iterative technique used to find
exact and approximate solutions to second-order linear differential equations.
In this work, we employed AIM to solve systems of two first-order linear
differential equations. The termination criteria of AIM will be re-examined and
the whole theory is re-worked in order to fit this new application. As a result
of our investigation, an interesting connection between the solution of linear
systems and the solution of Riccati equations is established. Further, new
classes of exactly solvable systems of linear differential equations with
variable coefficients are obtained. The method discussed allow to construct
many solvable classes through a simple procedure.Comment: 13 page
BU10038 as a safe opioid analgesic with fewer side-effects after systemic and intrathecal administration in primates
© 2019 British Journal of Anaesthesia. Published by Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.Background: The marked increase in mis-use of prescription opioids has greatly affected our society. One potential solution is to develop improved analgesics which have agonist action at both mu opioid peptide (MOP) and nociceptin/orphanin FQ peptide (NOP) receptors. BU10038 is a recently identified bifunctional MOP/NOP partial agonist. The aim of this study was to determine the functional profile of systemic or spinal delivery of BU10038 in primates after acute and chronic administration. Methods: A series of behavioural and physiological assays have been established specifically to reflect the therapeutic (analgesia) and side-effects (abuse potential, respiratory depression, itch, physical dependence, and tolerance) of opioid analgesics in rhesus monkeys. Results: After systemic administration, BU10038 (0.001–0.01 mg kg −1 ) dose-dependently produced long-lasting antinociceptive and antihypersensitive effects. Unlike the MOP agonist oxycodone, BU10038 lacked reinforcing effects (i.e. little or no abuse liability), and BU10038 did not compromise the physiological functions of primates including respiration, cardiovascular activities, and body temperature at antinociceptive doses and a 10–30-fold higher dose (0.01–0.1 mg kg −1 ). After intrathecal administration, BU10038 (3 μg) exerted morphine-comparable antinociception and antihypersensitivity without itch scratching responses. Unlike morphine, BU10038 did not cause the development of physical dependence and tolerance after repeated and chronic administration. Conclusions: These in vivo findings demonstrate the translational potential of bifunctional MOP/NOP receptor agonists such as BU10038 as a safe, non-addictive analgesic with fewer side-effects in primates. This study strongly supports that bifunctional MOP/NOP agonists may provide improved analgesics and an alternative solution for the ongoing prescription opioid crisis.Peer reviewedFinal Published versio
Probabilistic quantum cloning via Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states
We propose a probabilistic quantum cloning scheme using
Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states, Bell basis measurements, single-qubit
unitary operations and generalized measurements, all of which are within the
reach of current technology. Compared to another possible scheme via Tele-CNOT
gate [D. Gottesman and I. L. Chuang, Nature 402, 390 (1999)], the present
scheme may be used in experiment to clone the states of one particle to those
of two different particles with higher probability and less GHZ resources.Comment: 8 Pages, 4 Figures, final version to appear in PR
A Unified Quantum NOT Gate
We study the feasibility of implementing a quantum NOT gate (approximate)
when the quantum state lies between two latitudes on the Bloch's sphere and
present an analytical formula for the optimized 1-to- quantum NOT gate. Our
result generalizes previous results concerning quantum NOT gate for a quantum
state distributed uniformly on the whole Bloch sphere as well as the phase
covariant quantum state. We have also shown that such 1-to- optimized NOT
gate can be implemented using a sequential generation scheme via matrix product
states (MPS)
Repeat-Until-Success quantum computing using stationary and flying qubits
We introduce an architecture for robust and scalable quantum computation
using both stationary qubits (e.g. single photon sources made out of trapped
atoms, molecules, ions, quantum dots, or defect centers in solids) and flying
qubits (e.g. photons). Our scheme solves some of the most pressing problems in
existing non-hybrid proposals, which include the difficulty of scaling
conventional stationary qubit approaches, and the lack of practical means for
storing single photons in linear optics setups. We combine elements of two
previous proposals for distributed quantum computing, namely the efficient
photon-loss tolerant build up of cluster states by Barrett and Kok [Phys. Rev.
A 71, 060310(R) (2005)] with the idea of Repeat-Until-Success (RUS) quantum
computing by Lim et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 95, 030505 (2005)]. This idea can be
used to perform eventually deterministic two-qubit logic gates on spatially
separated stationary qubits via photon pair measurements. Under non-ideal
conditions, where photon loss is a possibility, the resulting gates can still
be used to build graph states for one-way quantum computing. In this paper, we
describe the RUS method, present possible experimental realizations, and
analyse the generation of graph states.Comment: 14 pages, 7 figures, minor changes, references and a discussion on

SUSY QCD impact on top-pair production associated with a -boson at a photon-photon collider
The top-pair production in association with a -boson at a photon-photon
collider is an important process in probing the coupling between top-quarks and
vector boson and discovering the signature of possible new physics. We describe
the impact of the complete supersymmetric QCD(SQCD) next-to-leading order(NLO)
radiative corrections on this process at a polarized or unpolarized photon
collider, and make a comparison between the effects of the SQCD and the
standard model(SM) QCD. We investigate the dependence of the lowest-order(LO)
and QCD NLO corrected cross sections in both the SM and minimal supersymmetric
standard model(MSSM) on colliding energy in different polarized
photon collision modes. The LO, SM NLO and SQCD NLO corrected distributions of
the invariant mass of -pair and the transverse momenta of final
-boson are presented. Our numerical results show that the pure SQCD
effects in \ggttz process can be more significant in the polarized photon
collision mode than in other collision modes, and the relative SQCD radiative
correction in unpolarized photon collision mode varies from 32.09% to
when goes up from to .Comment: 22 pages and 13 figure
Cosmic rays from Leptonic Dark Matter
If dark matter possesses a lepton number, it is natural to expect the
dark-matter annihilation and/or decay mainly produces the standard model
leptons, while negligible amount of the antiproton is produced. To illustrate
such a simple idea, we consider a scenario that a right-handed sneutrino dark
matter decays into the standard model particles through tiny R-parity violating
interactions. Interestingly enough, charged leptons as well as neutrinos are
directly produced, and they can lead to a sharp peak in the predicted positron
fraction. Moreover, the decay of the right-handed sneutrino also generates
diffuse continuum gamma rays which may account for the excess observed by
EGRET, while the primary antiproton flux can be suppressed. Those predictions
on the cosmic-ray fluxes of the positrons, gamma rays and antiprotons will be
tested by the PAMELA and FGST observatories.Comment: 21 pages, 4 figures, 2 tables, updated plots including PAMELA dat
