Coulomb drag in double quantum wells with a perpendicular magnetic field
Momentum transfer due to electron-electron interaction (Coulomb drag) between
two quantum wells, separated by a distance , in the presence of a
perpendicular magnetic field, is studied at low temperatures. We find besides
the well known Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations, which also appear in the drag
effect, the momentum transfer is markedly enhanced by the magnetic field.Comment: 8 pages, Revtex, 4 Postscript figures are available upon request,

Gluon GPDs and Exclusive Photoproduction of a Quarkonium in Forward Region
Forward photoproduction of can be used to extract Generalized Parton
Distributions(GPD's) of gluons. We analyze the process at twist-3 level and
study relevant classifications of twist-3 gluon GPD's. At leading power or
twist-2 level the produced is transversely polarized. We find that at
twist-3 the produced is longitudinally polarized. Our study shows that
in high energy limit the twist-3 amplitude is only suppressed by the inverse
power of the heavy quark mass relatively to the twist-2 amplitude. This
indicates that the power correction to the cross-section of unpolarized
can have a sizeable effect. We have also derived the amplitude of the
production of at twist-3, but the result contains end-point
singularities. The production of other quarkonia has been briefly discussed.Comment: Discussions of results are adde
Shot noise of inelastic tunneling through quantum dot systems
We present a theoretical analysis of the effect of inelastic electron
scattering on current and its fluctuations in a mesoscopic quantum dot (QD)
connected to two leads, based on a recently developed nonperturbative technique
involving the approximate mapping of the many-body electron-phonon coupling
problem onto a multichannel single-electron scattering problem. In this, we
apply the B\"uttiker scattering theory of shot noise for a two-terminal
mesoscopic device to the multichannel case with differing weight factors and
examine zero-frequency shot noise for two special cases: (i) a single-molecule
QD and (ii) coupled semiconductor QDs. The nonequilibrium Green's function
method facilitates calculation of single-electron transmission and reflection
amplitudes for inelastic processes under nonequilibrium conditions in the
mapping model. For the single-molecule QD we find that, in the presence of the
electron-phonon interaction, both differential conductance and differential
shot noise display additional peaks as bias-voltage increases due to
phonon-assisted processes. In the case of coupled QDs, our nonperturbative
calculations account for the electron-phonon interaction on an equal footing
with couplings to the leads, as well as the coupling between the two dots. Our
results exhibit oscillations in both the current and shot noise as functions of
the energy difference between the two QDs, resulting from the spontaneous
emission of phonons in the nonlinear transport process. In the "zero-phonon"
resonant tunneling regime, the shot noise exhibits a double peak, while in the
"one-phonon" region, only a single peak appears.Comment: 10 pages, 6 figures, some minor changes, accepted by Phys. Rev.
Invisible hands behind 3.5GHz spectrum sharing
There has been considerable discussion surrounding the barriers to spectrum sharing in the literature. Among those is the ātrust gapā that exists, according to the PCAST report. Trust is a complex human construct that significantly includes risk. In this paper, we examine the risks faced by the different user classes proposed by the FCC for sharing in the 3.5 GHz band. We argue that the āinvisible handsā of spectrum sharing in this band is the balance between spectrum sharing gain and associated risks. We find that both gains and risks can be linked to the distance between incumbentsā systems and Citizen Broadband Radio Services (CBRS)ā systems. The risk portfolio is linked to spectrum rights that each tier has, since the rights they have determine risks and risk mitigation strategies. We further propose a model to calculate spectrum sharing utilities for different tiers. The optimized utility determines the distance between incumbents and CBRS systems
Nonlinear dynamics of a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate coupled with a single cavity mode
We investigate the nonlinear dynamics of a combined system which is composed
of a cigar-shaped Bose-Einstein condensate and an optical cavity. The two sides
couple dispersively. This system is characterized by its nonlinearity: after
integrating out the freedom of the cavity mode, the potential felt by the
condensate depends on the condensate itself. We develop a discrete-mode
approximation for the condensate. Based on this approximation, we map out the
steady configurations of the system. It is found that due to the nonlinearity
of the system, the nonlinear levels of the system can fold up in some parameter
regimes. That will lead to the breakdown of adiabaticity. Analysis of the
dynamical stability of the steady states indicates that the same level
structure also results in optical bistability.Comment: 8 pages, 5 figure
Topology of Entanglement in Multipartite States with Translational Invariance
The topology of entanglement in multipartite states with translational
invariance is discussed in this article. Two global features are foundby which
one can distinguish distinct states. These are the cyclic unit and the
quantised geometric phase. Furthermore the topology is indicated by the
fractional spin. Finally a scheme is presented for preparation of these types
of states in spin chain systems, in which the degeneracy of the energy levels
characterises the robustness of the states with translational invariance.Comment: major revision. accepted by EPJ
Vector magnetic field sensing by single nitrogen vacancy center in diamond
In this Letter, we proposed and experimentally demonstrated a method to
detect vector magnetic field with a single nitrogen vacancy (NV) center in
diamond. The magnetic field in parallel with the axis of the NV center can be
obtained by detecting the electron Zeeman shift, while the Larmor precession of
an ancillary nuclear spin close to the NV center can be used to measure the
field perpendicular to the axis. Experimentally, both the Zeeman shift and
Larmor precession can be measured through the fluorescence from the NV center.
By applying additional calibrated magnetic fields, complete information of the
vector magnetic field can be achieved with such a method. This vector magnetic
field detection method is insensitive to temperature fluctuation and it can be
applied to nanoscale magnetic measurement.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figure
Opaque Service Virtualisation: A Practical Tool for Emulating Endpoint Systems
Large enterprise software systems make many complex interactions with other
services in their environment. Developing and testing for production-like
conditions is therefore a very challenging task. Current approaches include
emulation of dependent services using either explicit modelling or
record-and-replay approaches. Models require deep knowledge of the target
services while record-and-replay is limited in accuracy. Both face
developmental and scaling issues. We present a new technique that improves the
accuracy of record-and-replay approaches, without requiring prior knowledge of
the service protocols. The approach uses Multiple Sequence Alignment to derive
message prototypes from recorded system interactions and a scheme to match
incoming request messages against prototypes to generate response messages. We
use a modified Needleman-Wunsch algorithm for distance calculation during
message matching. Our approach has shown greater than 99% accuracy for four
evaluated enterprise system messaging protocols. The approach has been
successfully integrated into the CA Service Virtualization commercial product
to complement its existing techniques.Comment: In Proceedings of the 38th International Conference on Software
