Distinguishability of hyperentangled Bell state by linear evolution and local projective measurement
Measuring an entangled state of two particles is crucial to many quantum
communication protocols. Yet Bell state distinguishability using a finite
apparatus obeying linear evolution and local measurement is theoretically
limited. We extend known bounds for Bell-state distinguishability in one and
two variables to the general case of entanglement in two-state variables.
We show that at most classes out of hyper-Bell states can be
distinguished with one copy of the input state. With two copies, complete
distinguishability is possible. We present optimal schemes in each case.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
The potential energy of a K Fermi gas in the BCS-BEC crossover
We present a measurement of the potential energy of an ultracold trapped gas
of K atoms in the BCS-BEC crossover and investigate the temperature
dependence of this energy at a wide Feshbach resonance, where the gas is in the
unitarity limit. In particular, we study the ratio of the potential energy in
the region of the unitarity limit to that of a non-interacting gas, and in the
T=0 limit we extract the universal many-body parameter . We find ; this value is consistent with previous measurements
using Li atoms and also with recent theory and Monte Carlo calculations.
This result demonstrates the universality of ultracold Fermi gases in the
strongly interacting regime
Evolution of the Normal State of a Strongly Interacting Fermi Gas from a Pseudogap Phase to a Molecular Bose Gas
Wave-vector resolved radio frequency (rf) spectroscopy data for an ultracold
trapped Fermi gas are reported for several couplings at Tc, and extensively
analyzed in terms of a pairing-fluctuation theory. We map the evolution of a
strongly interacting Fermi gas from the pseudogap phase into a fully gapped
molecular Bose gas as a function of the interaction strength, which is marked
by a rapid disappearance of a remnant Fermi surface in the single-particle
dispersion. We also show that our theory of a pseudogap phase is consistent
with a recent experimental observation as well as with Quantum Monte Carlo data
of thermodynamic quantities of a unitary Fermi gas above Tc.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figures. Substantially revised version (to appear in Phys.

Superfluid properties of one-component Fermi gas with an anisotropic p-wave interaction
We investigate superfluid properties and strong-coupling effects in a
one-component Fermi gas with an anisotropic p-wave interaction. Within the
framework of the Gaussian fluctuation theory, we determine the superfluid
transition temperature , as well as the temperature at which
the phase transition from the -wave pairing state to the -wave
state occurs below . We also show that while the anisotropy of the
p-wave interaction enhances in the strong-coupling regime, it
suppresses .Comment: 7 pages, 3 figures, proceedings of QFS 201
