A non-Markovian optical signature for detecting entanglement in coupled excitonic qubits

We identify an optical signature for detecting entanglement in experimental nanostructure systems comprising coupled excitonic qubits. This signature owes its strength to non-Markovian dynamical effects in the second-order temporal coherence function of the emitted radiation. We calculate autocorrelation and cross-correlation functions for both selective and collective light excitation, and prove that the coherence properties of the emitted light do indeed carry information about the entanglement of the initial multi-qubit state. We also show that this signature can survive in the presence of a noisy environment.Comment: 4 pages, 4 color figures. Minor changes. Accepted version to be published in Europhysics Letter

Uniqueness of SRB measures for transitive diffeomorphisms on surfaces

We give a description of ergodic components of SRB measures in terms of ergodic homoclinic classes associated to hyperbolic periodic points. For transitive surface diffeomorphisms, we prove that there exists at most one SRB measure.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figure

Search for interactions between ejections of GRS 1915+105 and its environment

To unravel the effect of likely interactions between the energetic ejections of the galactic superluminal source GRS 1915+105 and its surrounding interstellar medium, we observed its environment. Two IRAS sources are symmetrically placed with respect to GRS 1915+105, and are aligned with the sub-arcsec ejections of this source. We analyzed these two sources IRAS 19124+1106 and IRAS 19132+1035 through near-infrared, millimeter and centimeter wavelengths. The evidence for these regions being interaction zones seems inconclusive.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, to appear in Proceedings of X-ray Astronomy '999 - Stellar Endpoints, AGN and the Diffuse Background, 2000.
