Entropy Bound for the Classical Capacity of a Quantum Channel Assisted by Classical Feedback

We prove that the classical capacity of an arbitrary quantum channel assisted by a free classical feedback channel is bounded from above by the maximum average output entropy of the quantum channel. As a consequence of this bound, we conclude that a classical feedback channel does not improve the classical capacity of a quantum erasure channel, and by taking into account energy constraints, we conclude the same for a pure-loss bosonic channel. The method for establishing the aforementioned entropy bound involves identifying an information measure having two key properties: 1) it does not increase under a one-way local operations and classical communication channel from the receiver to the sender and 2) a quantum channel from sender to receiver cannot increase the information measure by more than the maximum output entropy of the channel. This information measure can be understood as the sum of two terms, with one corresponding to classical correlation and the other to entanglement.Comment: v2: 6 pages, 1 figure, final version published in conference proceeding

Three realizations of quantum affine algebra Uq(A2(2))U_q(A_2^{(2)})

In this article we establish explicit isomorphisms between three realizations of quantum twisted affine algebra $U_q(A_2^{(2)})$: the Drinfeld ("current") realization, the Chevalley realization and the so-called $RLL$ realization, investigated by Faddeev, Reshetikhin and Takhtajan.Comment: 15 page

Lepton flavor violating μ→eγ\mu\to e\gamma and μ−e\mu-e conversion in unparticle physics

We have studied lepton flavor violation processes $\mu\to e\gamma$ and $\mu-e$ conversion in nuclei induced by unparticle. Both ${\rm Br}(\mu\to e\gamma)$ and $\mu-e$ conversion rate ${\rm CR}(\mu-e,{\rm Nuclei})$ strongly depend on the scale dimension $d_{\cal U}$ and the unparticle coupling $\lambda^{ff'}_{\rm K}$(K=V, A, S, P). Present experimental upper bounds on ${\rm Br}(\mu\to e\gamma)$, ${\rm CR}(\mu-e,{\rm Ti})$ and ${\rm CR}(\mu-e,{\rm Au})$ put stringent constraints on the parameters of unaprticle physics. The scale dimensions $d_{\cal U}$ around 2 are favored for the unparticle scale $\Lambda_{\cal U}$ of ${\cal O}(10 {\rm TeV})$ and the unparticle coupling of ${\cal O}(10^{-3})$. ${\rm CR}(\mu-e,{\rm Nuclei})$ is proportional to $\rm{Z^4_{eff}A^2/Z}$ for the pure vector and scalar couplings between unparticle and SM fermions, this peculiar atomatic number dependence can be used to distinguish unparticle from other theoretical models.Comment: 16 pages, 5 figure

Heavy Quark diffusion from lattice QCD spectral functions

We analyze the low frequency part of charmonium spectral functions on large lattices close to the continuum limit in the temperature region $1.5\lesssim T/T_c\lesssim 3$ as well as for $T \simeq 0.75T_c$. We present evidence for the existence of a transport peak above $T_c$ and its absence below $T_c$. The heavy quark diffusion constant is then estimated using the Kubo formula. As part of the calculation we also determine the temperature dependence of the signature for the charmonium bound state in the spectral function and discuss the fate of charmonium states in the hot medium.Comment: 4 pages, Proceedings for Quark Matter 2011 Conference, May 23-28, 2011, Annecy, Franc

Cusp-scaling behavior in fractal dimension of chaotic scattering

A topological bifurcation in chaotic scattering is characterized by a sudden change in the topology of the infinite set of unstable periodic orbits embedded in the underlying chaotic invariant set. We uncover a scaling law for the fractal dimension of the chaotic set for such a bifurcation. Our analysis and numerical computations in both two- and three-degrees-of-freedom systems suggest a striking feature associated with these subtle bifurcations: the dimension typically exhibits a sharp, cusplike local minimum at the bifurcation.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, Revte
