The quantum brachistochrone problem for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians
Recently Bender, Brody, Jones and Meister found that in the quantum brachistochrone problem the passage time needed for the evolution of certain initial states into specified final states can be made arbitrarily small, when the time-evolution operator is taken to be non-Hermitian but PT-symmetric. Here we demonstrate that such phenomena can also be obtained for non-Hermitian Hamiltonians for which PT-symmetry is completely broken, i.e. dissipative systems. We observe that the effect of a tunable passage time can be achieved by projecting between orthogonal eigenstates by means of a time-evolution operator associated with a non-Hermitian Hamiltonian. It is not essential that this Hamiltonian is PT-symmetric
Calagem e gessagem para o tomateiro e o meloeiro irrigados no Semi-Árido nordestino.
Instalou-se um experimento no Submédio São Francisco com o objetivo de avaliar o efeito da calagem e gessagem na produtividade e qualidade do tomate e melão. O delineamento foi em blocos ao acaso, com quatro repetições e sete tratamentos: 1) testemunha; 2) 0,5 vezes a necessidade de calagem (N.C.) na forma de calcário (0,5 x N.C. -Ca); 3) 1 x N.C. - Ca; 4) 2 x N.C. -Ca; 5) 0,5 x N.C., na forma de 2/3 de calcário e 1/3 de gesso (0,5 x N.C. - CaGe); 6) 1 x N.C -CaGe ; 7) 2 x N.C. -CaGe. Não se verificou efeitos significativos sobre a produtividade do tomate e a qualidade do melão. Com aplicação de 2 t/ha de calcário (1 x N.C -Ca) obteve-se uma produtividade de melão de 22,52 t/ha, significativamente superior à da testemunha, 16,77 t/ha, e reduziu-se a podridão apical do tomate em 80,4% em relação à da testemunha.Suplemento 2
Vacuumless kinks systems from vacuum ones, an example
Some years ago, Cho and Vilenkin, introduced a model which presents
topological solutions, despite not having degenerate vacua as is usually
expected. Here we present a new model with topological defects, connecting
degenerate vacua but which in a certain limit recovers precisely the one
proposed originally by Cho and Vilenkin. In other words, we found a kind of
parent model for the so called vacuumless model. Then the idea is extended to a
model recently introduced by Bazeia et al. Finally, we trace some comments the
case of the Liouville model.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figure

Quantum bridges in phase space: Interference and nonclassicality in strong-field enhanced ionisation
We perform a phase-space analysis of strong-field enhanced ionisation in
molecules, with emphasis on quantum-interference effects. Using Wigner
quasi-probability distributions and the quantum Liouville equation, we show
that the momentum gates reported in a previous publication [N. Takemoto and A.
Becker, Phys. Rev. A \textbf{84}, 023401 (2011)] may occur for static driving
fields, and even for no external field at all. Their primary cause is an
interference-induced bridging mechanism that occurs if both wells in the
molecule are populated. In the phase-space regions for which quantum bridges
occur, the Wigner functions perform a clockwise rotation whose period is
intrinsic to the molecule. This evolution is essentially non-classical and
non-adiabatic, as it does not follow equienergy curves or field gradients.
Quasi-probability transfer via quantum bridges is favoured if the electron's
initial state is either spatially delocalised, or situated at the upfield
molecular well. Enhanced ionisation results from the interplay of this cyclic
motion, adiabatic tunnel ionisation and population trapping. Optimal conditions
require minimising population trapping and using the bridging mechanism to feed
into ionisation pathways along the field gradient.Comment: 27 pages, 13 figures; some figures have been simplified to comply
