Gyroscopic motion of superfluid trapped atomic condensates
The gyroscopic motion of a trapped Bose gas containing a vortex is studied.
We model the system as a classical top, as a superposition of coherent
hydrodynamic states, by solution of the Bogoliubov equations, and by
integration of the time-dependent Gross-Pitaevskii equation. The frequency
spectrum of Bogoliubov excitations, including quantum frequency shifts, is
calculated and the quantal precession frequency is found to be consistent with
experimental results, though a small discrepancy exists. The superfluid
precession is found to be well described by the classical and hydrodynamic
models. However the frequency shifts and helical oscillations associated with
vortex bending and twisting require a quantal treatment. In gyroscopic
precession, the vortex excitation modes are the dominant features
giving a vortex kink or bend, while the is found to be the dominant
Kelvin wave associated with vortex twisting.Comment: 18 pages, 7 figures, 1 tabl
Space Shuttle program communication and tracking systems interface analysis
The Space Shuttle Program Communications and Tracking Systems Interface Analysis began April 18, 1983. During this time, the shuttle communication and tracking systems began flight testing. Two areas of analysis documented were a result of observations made during flight tests. These analyses involved the Ku-band communication system. First, there was a detailed analysis of the interface between the solar max data format and the Ku-band communication system including the TDRSS ground station. The second analysis involving the Ku-band communication system was an analysis of the frequency lock loop of the Gunn oscillator used to generate the transmit frequency. The stability of the frequency lock loop was investigated and changes to the design were reviewed to alleviate the potential loss of data due the loop losing lock and entering the reacquisition mode. Other areas of investigation were the S-band antenna analysis and RF coverage analysis
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)

Relativistic precession and spin dynamics of an elliptic Rydberg wave packet
Time evolution of wave packets built from the eigenstates of the Dirac
equation for a hydrogenic system is considered. We investigate the space and
spin motion of wave packets which, in the non-relativistic limit, are
stationary states with a probability density distributed uniformly along the
classical, elliptical orbit (elliptic WP). We show that the precession of such
a WP, due to relativistic corrections to the energy eigenvalues, is strongly
correlated with the spin motion. We show also that the motion is universal for
all hydrogenic systems with an arbitrary value of the atomic number Z.Comment: Latex2e, uses IOP style files (included), 10 pages, 5 jpg figures, 1

Reference installation for the German grid initiative D-Grid
The D-Grid reference installation is a test platform for the German grid initiative. The main task is to create the grid prototype for software and hardware components needed in the D-Grid community. For each grid-related task field different alternative middleware is included. With respect to changing demands from the community, new versions of the reference installation are released every six months
Temperature dependence of the anomaly in the excitation spectrum of the 2D quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet
It is well established that in the low-temperature limit, the two-dimensional
quantum Heisenberg antiferromagnet on a square lattice (2DQHAFSL) exhibits an
anomaly in its spectrum at short-wavelengths on the zone-boundary. In the
vicinity of the point the pole in the one-magnon response exhibits a
downward dispersion, is heavily damped and attenuated, giving way to an
isotropic continuum of excitations extending to high energies. The origin of
the anomaly and the presence of the continuum are of current theoretical
interest, with suggestions focused around the idea that the latter evidences
the existence of spinons in a two-dimensional system. Here we present the
results of neutron inelastic scattering experiments and Quantum Monte Carlo
calculations on the metallo-organic compound Cu(DCOO)DO (CFTD),
an excellent physical realisation of the 2DQHAFSL, designed to investigate how
the anomaly at evolves up to finite temperatures . Our
data reveal that on warming the anomaly survives the loss of long-range,
three-dimensional order, and is thus a robust feature of the two-dimensional
system. With further increase of temperature the zone-boundary response
gradually softens and broadens, washing out the anomaly. This is
confirmed by a comparison of our data with the results of finite-temperature
Quantum Monte Carlo simulations where the two are found to be in good accord.
At lower energies, in the vicinity of the antiferromagnetic zone centre, there
was no significant softening of the magnetic excitations over the range of
temperatures investigated.Comment: Dedicated to the life and work of Professor Roger Cowley. 22 pages, 8

Superconformal constraints for QCD conformal anomalies
Anomalous superconformal Ward identities and commutator algebra in N = 1
super-Yang-Mills theory give rise to constraints between the QCD special
conformal anomalies of conformal composite operators. We evaluate the
superconformal anomalies that appear in the product of renormalized conformal
operators and the trace anomaly in the supersymmetric spinor current and check
the constraints at one-loop order. In this way we prove the universality of QCD
conformal anomalies, which define the non-diagonal part of the anomalous
dimension matrix responsible for scaling violations of exclusive QCD amplitudes
at the next-to-leading order.Comment: 30 pages, 2 figures, LaTe
