Quantum correlation and classical correlation dynamics in the spin-boson model
We study the quantum correlation and classical correlation dynamics in a
spin-boson model. For two different forms of spectral density, we obtain
analytical results and show that the evolutions of both correlations depend
closely on the form of the initial state. At the end of evolution, all
correlations initially stored in the spin system transfer to reservoirs. It is
found that for a large family of initial states, quantum correlation remains
equal to the classical correlation during the course of evolution. In addition,
there is no increase in the correlations during the course of evolution.Comment: 10 pages, 5 figure
Entrepreneur narcissism and unethical pro-organizational behaviour: an examination of mediated-moderation model
Drawing on research taking narcissism as a ‘dark’ side of personality
traits, we examine how and when narcissistic entrepreneurs
are more likely to engage in unethical pro-organizational behaviours
(UPBs). We collected data from 347 entrepreneurial teams in
three entrepreneurial parks of China. The results show that entrepreneur
narcissism is positively related to entrepreneurial goal
difficulty and UPBs, and entrepreneurial goal difficulty mediates
the relationship between entrepreneur narcissism and UPBs; and
these positive associations are stronger when external environment
is more complex. Theoretical and practical implications as
well as research limitation of this study are also discussed
Identifying the Riemann zeros by periodically driving a single qubit
The Riemann hypothesis, one of the most important open problems in pure
mathematics, implies the most profound secret of prime numbers. One of the most
interesting approaches to solve this hypothesis is to connect the problem with
the spectrum of the physical Hamiltonian of a quantum system. However, none of
the proposed quantum Hamiltonians have been experimentally feasible.Here, we
report the first experiment to identify the first non-trivial zeros of the
Riemann zeta function and the first two zeros of P\'olya's fake zeta function,
using a novel Floquet method, through properly designed periodically driving
functions. According to this method, the zeros of these functions are
characterized by the occurrence of crossings of quasi-energies when the
dynamics of the system are frozen. The experimentally obtained zeros are in
excellent agreement with their exact values. Our study provides the first
experimental realization of the Riemann zeros, which may provide new insights
into this fundamental mathematical problem.Comment: 5 pages, 7 figure
