New transformation of Wigner operator in phase space quantum mechanics for the two-mode entangled case

As a natural extension of Fan's paper (arXiv: 0903.1769vl [quant-ph]) by employing the formula of operators' Weyl ordering expansion and the bipartite entangled state representation we find new two-fold complex integration transformation about the Wigner operator (in its entangled form) in phase space quantum mechanics and its inverse transformation. In this way, some operator ordering problems can be solved and the contents of phase space quantum mechanics can be enriched.Comment: 8 pages, 0 figure

Creating stable molecular condensate using a generalized Raman adiabatic passage scheme

We study the Feshbach resonance assisted stimulated adiabatic passage of an effective coupling field for creating stable molecules from atomic Bose condensate. By exploring the properties of the coherent population trapping state, we show that, contrary to the previous belief, mean-field shifts need not to limit the conversion efficiency as long as one chooses an adiabatic passage route that compensates the collision mean-field phase shifts and avoids the dynamical unstable regime.Comment: 4+\epsilon pages, 3 figure

Re-embedding a 1-Plane Graph into a Straight-line Drawing in Linear Time

Thomassen characterized some 1-plane embedding as the forbidden configuration such that a given 1-plane embedding of a graph is drawable in straight-lines if and only if it does not contain the configuration [C. Thomassen, Rectilinear drawings of graphs, J. Graph Theory, 10(3), 335-341, 1988]. In this paper, we characterize some 1-plane embedding as the forbidden configuration such that a given 1-plane embedding of a graph can be re-embedded into a straight-line drawable 1-plane embedding of the same graph if and only if it does not contain the configuration. Re-embedding of a 1-plane embedding preserves the same set of pairs of crossing edges. We give a linear-time algorithm for finding a straight-line drawable 1-plane re-embedding or the forbidden configuration.Comment: Appears in the Proceedings of the 24th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2016).

Interlayer Exchange Coupling Beyond the Proximity Force Approximation

Ion bombardment has been shown to be capable of enhancing the interlayer exchange coupling in a trilayer system that exhibits giant magnetoresistance. We demonstrate that this phenomenon can be derived from the phase coherence among scattered paths within the two rough interfaces when their topographies are correlated. In the case of mild corrugations, our method reproduces the predictions by the proximity force approximation which does not consider the interference. When the characteristic Fourier conjugate of the tomography becomes large and comparable to the Fermi momentum, interesting new features arise and can only be captured by our more general approach. Among our findings, the scenario of an enhanced interlayer exchange coupling due to the interface roughness is explained, along with how it depends on the sample parameters. An additional channel for the resonant transmission is identified due to extra scattering paths from the roughness.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, submitted to PRB (2010

Gravitational lensing statistical properties in general FRW cosmologies with dark energy component(s): analytic results

Various astronomical observations have been consistently making a strong case for the existence of a component of dark energy with negative pressure in the universe. It is now necessary to take the dark energy component(s) into account in gravitational lensing statistics and other cosmological tests. By using the comoving distance we derive analytic but simple expressions for the optical depth of multiple image, the expected value of image separation and the probability distribution of image separation caused by an assemble of singular isothermal spheres in general FRW cosmological models with dark energy component(s). We also present the kinematical and dynamical properties of these kinds of cosmological models and calculate the age of the universe and the distance measures, which are often used in classical cosmological tests. In some cases we are able to give formulae that are simpler than those found elsewhere in the literature, which could make the cosmological tests for dark energy component(s) more convenient.Comment: 14 pages, no figure, Latex fil

Gravitational Lensing Statistics as a Probe of Dark Energy

By using the comoving distance, we derive an analytic expression for the optical depth of gravitational lensing, which depends on the redshift to the source and the cosmological model characterized by the cosmic mass density parameter $\Omega_m$, the dark energy density parameter $\Omega_x$ and its equation of state $\omega_x = p_x/\rho_x$. It is shown that, the larger the dark energy density is and the more negative its pressure is, the higher the gravitational lensing probability is. This fact can provide an independent constraint for dark energy.Comment: 9 pages, 2 figure

Quantum Speed Limit for Perfect State Transfer in One Dimension

The basic idea of spin chain engineering for perfect quantum state transfer (QST) is to find a set of coupling constants in the Hamiltonian, such that a particular state initially encoded on one site will evolve freely to the opposite site without any dynamical controls. The minimal possible evolution time represents a speed limit for QST. We prove that the optimal solution is the one simulating the precession of a spin in a static magnetic field. We also argue that, at least for solid-state systems where interactions are local, it is more realistic to characterize the computation power by the couplings than the initial energy.Comment: 5 pages, no figure; improved versio
