Adaptively truncated Hilbert space based impurity solver for dynamical mean-field theory
We present an impurity solver based on adaptively truncated Hilbert spaces.
The solver is particularly suitable for dynamical mean-field theory in
circumstances where quantum Monte Carlo approaches are ineffective. It exploits
the sparsity structure of quantum impurity models, in which the interactions
couple only a small subset of the degrees of freedom. We further introduce an
adaptive truncation of the particle or hole excited spaces, which enables
computations of Green functions with an accuracy needed to avoid unphysical
(sign change of imaginary part) self-energies. The method is benchmarked on the
one-dimensional Hubbard model.Comment: 10 pages, 7 figure
Observation of Bell Inequality violation in B mesons
A pair of mesons from decay exhibit EPR type
non-local particle-antiparticle (flavor) correlation. It is possible to write
down Bell Inequality (in the CHSH form: ) to test the non-locality
assumption of EPR. Using semileptonic decays of at Belle
experiment, a clear violation of Bell Inequality in particle-antiparticle
correlation is observed:

Application Experiences of NASTRAN Thermal Analysis in Engineering
The application of the thermal analysis phase of NASTRAN in engineering is described. Some illustrative samples are presented to demonstrate the applicability and limitation of NASTRAN thermal analysis capability. The results of the evaluation of the relative efficiency, applicability and accuracy among NASTRAN, other finite element programs, and finite difference programs are also presented
Implementation experiences of NASTRAN on CDC CYBER 74 SCOPE 3.4 operating system
The implementation of the NASTRAN system on the CDC CYBER 74 SCOPE 3.4 Operating System is described. The flexibility of the NASTRAN system made it possible to accomplish the change with no major problems. Various sizes of benchmark and test problems, ranging from two hours to less than one minute CP time were run on the CDC CYBER SCOPE 3.3, Univac EXEC-8, and CDC CYBER SCOPE 3.4. The NASTRAN installation deck is provided
Modelling and simulation framework for reactive transport of organic contaminants in bed-sediments using a pure java object - oriented paradigm
Numerical modelling and simulation of organic contaminant reactive transport in the environment is being increasingly
relied upon for a wide range of tasks associated with risk-based decision-making, such as prediction of contaminant
profiles, optimisation of remediation methods, and monitoring of changes resulting from an implemented remediation
scheme. The lack of integration of multiple mechanistic models to a single modelling framework, however, has
prevented the field of reactive transport modelling in bed-sediments from developing a cohesive understanding of
contaminant fate and behaviour in the aquatic sediment environment. This paper will investigate the problems involved
in the model integration process, discuss modelling and software development approaches, and present preliminary
results from use of CORETRANS, a predictive modelling framework that simulates 1-dimensional organic contaminant
reaction and transport in bed-sediments
Seismic analysis of nuclear power plant structures
Primary structures for nuclear power plants are designed to resist expected earthquakes of the site. Two intensities are referred to as Operating Basis Earthquake and Design Basis Earthquake. These structures are required to accommodate these seismic loadings without loss of their functional integrity. Thus, no plastic yield is allowed. The application of NASTRAN in analyzing some of these seismic induced structural dynamic problems is described. NASTRAN, with some modifications, can be used to analyze most structures that are subjected to seismic loads. A brief review of the formulation of seismic-induced structural dynamics is also presented. Two typical structural problems were selected to illustrate the application of the various methods of seismic structural analysis by the NASTRAN system
Generation of bipartite spin entanglement via spin-independent scattering
We consider the bipartite spin entanglement between two identical fermions
generated in spin-independent scattering. We show how the spatial degrees of
freedom act as ancillas for the creation of entanglement to a degree that
depends on the scattering angle, . The number of Slater determinants
generated in the process is greater than 1, corresponding to genuine quantum
correlations between the identical fermions. The maximal entanglement
attainable of 1 ebit is reached at . We also analyze a simple
dependent Bell's inequality, which is violated for
. This phenomenon is unrelated to the symmetrization
postulate but does not appear for unequal particles.Comment: 5 pages and 3 figures. Accepted in PR
Imaginary-time matrix product state impurity solver for dynamical mean-field theory
We present a new impurity solver for dynamical mean-field theory based on
imaginary-time evolution of matrix product states. This converges the
self-consistency loop on the imaginary-frequency axis and obtains
real-frequency information in a final real-time evolution. Relative to
computations on the real-frequency axis, required bath sizes are much smaller
and less entanglement is generated, so much larger systems can be studied. The
power of the method is demonstrated by solutions of a three band model in the
single and two-site dynamical mean-field approximation. Technical issues are
discussed, including details of the method, efficiency as compared to other
matrix product state based impurity solvers, bath construction and its relation
to real-frequency computations and the analytic continuation problem of quantum
Monte Carlo, the choice of basis in dynamical cluster approximation, and
perspectives for off-diagonal hybridization functions.Comment: 8 pages + 4 pages appendix, 9 figure
Quantum energy teleportation in a quantum Hall system
We propose an experimental method for a quantum protocol termed quantum
energy teleportation (QET), which allows energy transportation to a remote
location without physical carriers. Using a quantum Hall system as a realistic
model, we discuss the physical significance of QET and estimate the order of
energy gain using reasonable experimental parameters
