Raman Response in Doped Antiferromagnets
The resonant part of the electronic Raman scattering response is
calculated within the model on a planar lattice as a function of
temperature and hole doping, using a finite-temperature diagonalization method
for small systems. Results, directly applicable to experiments on cuprates,
reveal on doping a very pronounced increase of the width of the two-magnon
Raman peak, accompanied by a decrease of the total intensity. At the same time
the peak position does not shift substantially in the underdoped regime.Comment: 11 pages revtex, 3 postscript figures. Minor corrections and changes

Phase diagram of a Bose gas near a wide Feshbach resonance
In this paper, we study the phase diagram of a homogeneous Bose gas with a
repulsive interaction near a wide Feshbach resonance at zero temperature. The
Bose-Einstein-condensation (BEC) state of atoms is a metastable state. When the
scattering length exceeds a critical value depending on the atom density
, , the molecular excitation energy is imaginary and the atomic
BEC state is dynamically unstable against molecule formation. The BEC state of
diatomic molecules has lower energy, where the atomic excitation is gapped and
the molecular excitation is gapless. However when the scattering length is
above another critical value, , the molecular BEC state becomes a
unstable coherent mixture of atoms and molecules. In both BEC states, the
binding energy of diatomic molecules is reduced due to the many-body effect.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure
Anomalous low doping phase of the Hubbard model
We present results of a systematic Quantum-Monte-Carlo study for the
single-band Hubbard model. Thereby we evaluated single-particle spectra (PES &
IPES), two-particle spectra (spin & density correlation functions), and the
dynamical correlation function of suitably defined diagnostic operators, all as
a function of temperature and hole doping. The results allow to identify
different physical regimes. Near half-filling we find an anomalous `Hubbard-I
phase', where the band structure is, up to some minor modifications, consistent
with the Hubbard-I predictions. At lower temperatures, where the spin response
becomes sharp, additional dispersionless `bands' emerge due to the dressing of
electrons/holes with spin excitatons. We present a simple phenomenological fit
which reproduces the band structure of the insulator quantitatively. The Fermi
surface volume in the low doping phase, as derived from the single-particle
spectral function, is not consistent with the Luttinger theorem, but
qualitatively in agreement with the predictions of the Hubbard-I approximation.
The anomalous phase extends up to a hole concentration of 15%, i.e. the
underdoped region in the phase diagram of high-T_c superconductors. We also
investigate the nature of the magnetic ordering transition in the single
particle spectra. We show that the transition to an SDW-like band structure is
not accomplished by the formation of any resolvable `precursor bands', but
rather by a (spectroscopically invisible) band of spin 3/2 quasiparticles. We
discuss implications for the `remnant Fermi surface' in insulating cuprate
compounds and the shadow bands in the doped materials.Comment: RevTex-file, 20 PRB pages, 16 figures included partially as gif. A

The pseudogap in underdoped high Tc superconductors in the framework of the Boson Fermion model
The question of whether the pseudogap in high cuprates is related to
super conducting precursor effects or to the existence of extrinsic bosonic
massive excitations is investigated on the basis of the Boson-Fermion model.
The characteristic three peak structure of the electronic spectral function and
the temperature dependent Fermi vector derived here are signatures for a two
component scenario which can be tested by ARPES and BIS experiments.Comment: revtex version with 3 eps figures. Revised version to appear in Phys.

Finite temperature mobility of a particle coupled to a fermion environment
We study numerically the finite temperature and frequency mobility of a
particle coupled by a local interaction to a system of spinless fermions in one
dimension. We find that when the model is integrable (particle mass equal to
the mass of fermions) the static mobility diverges. Further, an enhanced
mobility is observed over a finite parameter range away from the integrable
point. We present a novel analysis of the finite temperature static mobility
based on a random matrix theory description of the many-body Hamiltonian.Comment: 11 pages (RevTeX), 5 Postscript files, compressed using uufile
Saturation of electrical resistivity
Resistivity saturation is observed in many metallic systems with a large
resistivity, i.e., when the resistivity has reached a critical value, its
further increase with temperature is substantially reduced. This typically
happens when the apparent mean free path is comparable to the interatomic
separations - the Ioffe-Regel condition. Recently, several exceptions to this
rule have been found. Here, we review experimental results and early theories
of resistivity saturation. We then describe more recent theoretical work,
addressing cases both where the Ioffe-Regel condition is satisfied and where it
is violated. In particular we show how the (semiclassical) Ioffe-Regel
condition can be derived quantum-mechanically under certain assumptions about
the system and why these assumptions are violated for high-Tc cuprates and
alkali-doped fullerides.Comment: 16 pages, RevTeX, 15 eps figures, additional material available at

Doping induced metal-insulator transition in two-dimensional Hubbard, , and extended Hubbard, , models
We show numerically that the nature of the doping induced metal-insulator
transition in the two-dimensional Hubbard model is radically altered by the
inclusion of a term, , which depends upon a square of a single-particle
nearest-neighbor hopping. This result is reached by computing the localization
length, , in the insulating state. At finite values of we find
results consistent with where is
the critical chemical potential. In contrast, for the Hubbard model. At finite values of , the presented
numerical results imply that doping the antiferromagnetic Mott insulator leads
to a superconductor.Comment: 19 pages (latex) including 7 figures in encapsulated postscript

Key rate available from mismatched mesurements in the BB84 protocol and the uncertainty principle
We consider the mismatched measurements in the BB84 quantum key distribution
protocol, in which measuring bases are different from transmitting bases. We
give a lower bound on the amount of a secret key that can be extracted from the
mismatched measurements. Our lower bound shows that we can extract a secret key
from the mismatched measurements with certain quantum channels, such as the
channel over which the Hadamard matrix is applied to each qubit with high
probability. Moreover, the entropic uncertainty principle implies that one
cannot extract the secret key from both matched measurements and mismatched
ones simultaneously, when we use the standard information reconciliation and
privacy amplification procedure.Comment: 5 pages, no figure, ieice.cls. Title was changed from version 1. To

Specific heat and high-temperature series of lattice models: interpolation scheme and examples on quantum spin systems in one and two dimensions
We have developed a new method for evaluating the specific heat of lattice
spin systems. It is based on the knowledge of high-temperature series
expansions, the total entropy of the system and the low-temperature expected
behavior of the specific heat as well as the ground-state energy. By the choice
of an appropriate variable (entropy as a function of energy), a stable
interpolation scheme between low and high temperature is performed. Contrary to
previous methods, the constraint that the total entropy is log(2S+1) for a spin
S on each site is automatically satisfied. We present some applications to
quantum spin models on one- and two- dimensional lattices. Remarkably, in most
cases, a good accuracy is obtained down to zero temperature.Comment: 10 pages (RevTeX 4) including 11 eps figures. To appear in Phys. Rev.
Double-layer Heisenberg antiferromagnet at finite temperature: Brueckner Theory and Quantum Monte Carlo simulations
The double-layer Heisenberg antiferromagnet with intra- and inter-layer
couplings and exhibits a zero temperature quantum phase
transition between a quantum disordered dimer phase for and a Neel
phase with long range antiferromagnetic order for , where
and . We consider the behavior of the system at finite
temperature for using two different and complementary approaches;
an analytical Brueckner approximation and numerically exact quantum Monte Carlo
simulations. We calculate the temperature dependent spin excitation spectrum
(including the triplet gap), dynamic and static structure factors, the specific
heat, and the uniform magnetic susceptibility. The agreement between the
analytical and numerical approaches is excellent. For and , our analytical results for the specific heat and the magnetic
susceptibility coincide with those previously obtained within the nonlinear
model approach for . Our quantum Monte Carlo simulations
extend to significantly lower temperatures than previously, allowing us to
obtain accurate results for the asymptotic quantum critical behavior. We also
obtain an improved estimate for the critical coupling: .Comment: 23 pages, 12 figure
