Quadrature entanglement and photon-number correlations accompanied by phase-locking
We investigate quantum properties of phase-locked light beams generated in a
nondegenerate optical parametric oscillator (NOPO) with an intracavity
waveplate. This investigation continuous our previous analysis presented in
Phys.Rev.A 69, 05814 (2004), and involves problems of continuous-variable
quadrature entanglement in the spectral domain, photon-number correlations as
well as the signatures of phase-locking in the Wigner function. We study the
role of phase-localizing processes on the quantum correlation effects. The
peculiarities of phase-locked NOPO in the self-pulsing instability operational
regime are also cleared up. The results are obtained in both the
P-representation as a quantum-mechanical calculation in the framework of
stochastic equations of motion, and also by using numerical simulation based on
the method of quantum state diffusion.Comment: Subm. to PR
A short distance quark-antiquark potential
Leading terms of the static quark-antiquark potential in the background
perturbation theory are reviewed, including perturbative, nonperturbative and
interference ones. The potential is shown to describe lattice data at short
quark-antiquark separations with a good accuracy.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figures, talk at the NPD-2002 Conference, December 2-6,

Calculation of hyperfine structure constants for ytterbium
We calculate energies and hyperfine structure constants A and B for low-lying
levels of Yb. The latter is treated as a two-electron atom. To account
for valence-valence correlations the configuration interaction method is used.
Valence-core correlations are accounted for within the many-body perturbation
theory which is used to construct effective two-electron operators in the
valence space.Comment: 8 pages, latex, iopart class or ioplppt style, submitted to J. Phys.
Static potential in baryon
The baryon static potential is calculated in the framework of field
correlator method and is shown to match the recent lattice results. The effects
of the nonzero value of the gluon correlation length are emphasized.Comment: 7 pages, 4 figures, talk at the NPD-2002 Conference, December 2-6,

Kinetic equations for ultrarelativistic particles in a Robertson-Walker Universe and isotropization of relict radiation by gravitational interactions
Kinetic equations for ultrarelativistic particles with due account of
gravitational interactions with massive particles in the Robertson-Walker
universe are obtained. On the basis of an exact solution of the kinetic
equations thus obtained, a conclusion is made as to the high degree of the
uniformity of the relict radiation on scales with are less than .Comment: 19 pages, 2 figures, 13 reference

All-optical suppression of relativistic self-focusing of laser beams in plasmas
It is demonstrated that a catastrophic relativistic self-focusing (RSF) of a high-power laser pulse can be prevented all-optically by a second, much weaker, copropagating pulse. RSF suppression occurs when the difference frequency of the pulses slightly exceeds the electron plasma frequency. The mutual defocusing is caused by the three-dimensional electron density perturbation driven by the laser beat wave slightly above the plasma resonance. A bienvelope model describing the early stage of the mutual defocusing is derived and analyzed. Later stages, characterized by the presence of a strong electromagnetic cascade, are investigated numerically. Stable propagation of the laser pulse with weakly varying spot size and peak amplitude over several Rayleigh lengths is predicted.U.S. Department of Energy DE-FG02-04ER54763 DE-FG02-04ER41321 DE-FG02-07ER54945NSF PHY-0114336Physic
Reconstruction of Scalar Potentials in Modified Gravity Models
We employ the superpotential technique for the reconstruction of cosmological
models with a non-minimally coupled scalar field evolving on a spatially flat
Friedmann-Robertson-Walker background. The key point in this method is that the
Hubble parameter is considered as a function of the scalar field and this
allows one to reconstruct the scalar field potential and determine the dynamics
of the field itself, without a priori fixing the Hubble parameter as a function
of time or of the scale factor. The scalar field potentials that lead to de
Sitter or asymptotic de Sitter solutions, and those that reproduce the
cosmological evolution given by Einstein-Hilbert action plus a barotropic
perfect fluid, have been obtained.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures, accepted for publication in PR
