Rigorous results on superconducting ground states for attractive extended Hubbard models
We show that the exact ground state for a class of extended Hubbard models
including bond-charge, exchange, and pair-hopping terms, is the Yang
"eta-paired" state for any non-vanishing value of the pair-hopping amplitude,
at least when the on-site Coulomb interaction is attractive enough and the
remaining physical parameters satisfy a single constraint. The ground state is
thus rigorously superconducting. Our result holds on a bipartite lattice in any
dimension, at any band filling, and for arbitrary electron hopping.Comment: 12 page
Quantum trajectory approach to stochastically-induced quantum interference effects in coherently-driven two-level atoms
Stochastic perturbation of two-level atoms strongly driven by a coherent
light field is analyzed by the quantum trajectory method. A new method is
developed for calculating the resonance fluorescence spectra from numerical
simulations. It is shown that in the case of dominant incoherent perturbation,
the stochastic noise can unexpectedly create phase correlation between the
neighboring atomic dressed states. This phase correlation is responsible for
quantum interference between the related transitions resulting in anomalous
modifications of the resonance fluorescence spectra.Comment: paper accepted for publicatio
Antiferromagnetically coupled alternating spin chains
The effect of antiferromagnetic interchain coupling in alternating spin
(1,1/2) chains is studied by mean of a spin wave theory and density matrix
renormalization group (DMRG). In particular, two limiting cases are
investigated, the two-leg ladder and its two dimensional (2D) generalization.
Results of the ground state properties like energy, spin gap, magnetizations,
and correlation functions are reported for the whole range of the interchain
coupling . For the 2D case the spin wave results predict a smooth
dimensional crossover from 1D to 2D keeping the ground state always ordered.
For the ladder system, the DMRG results show that any drives the
system to a gapped ground state. Furthermore the behaviour of the correlation
functions closely resemble the uniform spin-1/2 ladder. For lower
than 0.3, however, the gap behaves quadratically as . Finally, it is argued that the behaviour of the spin gap for an
arbitrary number of mixed coupled spin chains is analogous to that of the
uniform spin-1/2 chains.Comment: 5 pages, 7 ps-figure
Dynamics of Coronal Bright Points as seen by Sun Watcher using Active Pixel System detector and Image Processing (SWAP), Atmospheric Imaging Assembly AIA), and Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI)
The \textit{Sun Watcher using Active Pixel system detector and Image
Processing}(SWAP) on board the \textit{PRoject for OnBoard Autonomy\todash 2}
(PROBA\todash 2) spacecraft provides images of the solar corona in EUV channel
centered at 174 \AA. These data, together with \textit{Atmospheric Imaging
Assembly} (AIA) and the \textit{Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager} (HMI) on
board \textit{Solar Dynamics Observatory} (SDO), are used to study the dynamics
of coronal bright points. The evolution of the magnetic polarities and
associated changes in morphology are studied using magnetograms and
multi-wavelength imaging. The morphology of the bright points seen in
low-resolution SWAP images and high-resolution AIA images show different
structures, whereas the intensity variations with time show similar trends in
both SWAP 174 and AIA 171 channels. We observe that bright points are seen in
EUV channels corresponding to a magnetic-flux of the order of Mx. We
find that there exists a good correlation between total emission from the
bright point in several UV\todash EUV channels and total unsigned photospheric
magnetic flux above certain thresholds. The bright points also show periodic
brightenings and we have attempted to find the oscillation periods in bright
points and their connection to magnetic flux changes. The observed periods are
generally long (10\todash 25 minutes) and there is an indication that the
intensity oscillations may be generated by repeated magnetic reconnection
Classification of a supersolid: Trial wavefunctions, Symmetry breakings and Excitation spectra
A state of matter is characterized by its symmetry breaking and elementary
excitations.
A supersolid is a state which breaks both translational symmetry and internal
symmetry.
Here, we review some past and recent works in phenomenological
Ginsburg-Landau theories, ground state trial wavefunctions and microscopic
numerical calculations. We also write down a new effective supersolid
Hamiltonian on a lattice.
The eigenstates of the Hamiltonian contains both the ground state
wavefunction and all the excited states (supersolidon) wavefunctions. We
contrast various kinds of supersolids in both continuous systems and on
lattices, both condensed matter and cold atom systems. We provide additional
new insights in studying their order parameters, symmetry breaking patterns,
the excitation spectra and detection methods.Comment: REVTEX4, 19 pages, 3 figure
