A semiclassical model of light mesons
The dominantly orbital state description is applied to the study of light
mesons. The effective Hamiltonian is characterized by a relativistic kinematics
supplemented by the usual funnel potential with a mixed scalar and vector
confinement. The influence of two different finite quark masses and potential
parameters on Regge and vibrational trajectories is discussed.Comment: 1 figur
Universality of Regge and vibrational trajectories in a semiclassical model
The orbital and radial excitations of light-light mesons are studied in the
framework of the dominantly orbital state description. The equation of motion
is characterized by a relativistic kinematics supplemented by the usual funnel
potential with a mixed scalar and vector confinement. The influence of finite
quark masses and potential parameters on Regge and vibrational trajectories is
discussed. The case of heavy-light mesons is also presented.Comment: 12 page
Long term monitoring of bright TeV Blazars with the MAGIC telescope
The MAGIC telescope has performed long term monitoring observations of the
bright TeV Blazars Mrk421, Mrk501 and 1ES1959+650. Up to 40 observations, 30 to
60 minutes each have been performed for each source evenly distributed over the
observable period of the year. The sensitivity of MAGIC is sufficient to
establish a flux level of 25% of the Crab flux for each measurement. These
observations are well suited to trigger multiwavelength ToO observations and
the overall collected data allow an unbiased study of the flaring statistics of
the observed AGNs.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, to appear in the proceedings of the 30th

Towards Physical Hybrid Systems
Some hybrid systems models are unsafe for mathematically correct but
physically unrealistic reasons. For example, mathematical models can classify a
system as being unsafe on a set that is too small to have physical importance.
In particular, differences in measure zero sets in models of cyber-physical
systems (CPS) have significant mathematical impact on the mathematical safety
of these models even though differences on measure zero sets have no tangible
physical effect in a real system. We develop the concept of "physical hybrid
systems" (PHS) to help reunite mathematical models with physical reality. We
modify a hybrid systems logic (differential temporal dynamic logic) by adding a
first-class operator to elide distinctions on measure zero sets of time within
CPS models. This approach facilitates modeling since it admits the verification
of a wider class of models, including some physically realistic models that
would otherwise be classified as mathematically unsafe. We also develop a proof
calculus to help with the verification of PHS.Comment: CADE 201
Reducing quantum control for spin-spin entanglement distribution
We present a protocol that sets maximum stationary entanglement between
remote spins through scattering of mobile mediators without initialization,
post-selection or feedback of the mediators' state. No time-resolved tuning is
needed and, counterintuitively, the protocol generates two-qubit singlet states
even when classical mediators are used. The mechanism responsible for such
effect is resilient against non-optimal coupling strengths and dephasing
affecting the spins. The scheme uses itinerant particles and scattering centres
and can be implemented in various settings. When quantum dots and photons are
used a striking result is found: injection of classical mediators, rather than
quantum ones, improves the scheme efficiency.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figures, replaced with published versio
Identification of the Beutler-Fano formula in eigenphase shifts and eigentime delays near a resonance
Eigenphase shifts and eigentime delays near a resonance for a system of one
discrete state and two continua are shown to be functionals of the Beutler-
Fano formulas using appropriate dimensionless energy units and line profile
indices. Parameters responsible for the avoided crossing of eigenphase shifts
and eigentime delays are identified. Similarly, parameters responsible for the
eigentime delays due to a frame change are identified. With the help of new
parameters, an analogy with the spin model is pursued for the S matrix and time
delay matrix. The time delay matrix is shown to comprise three terms, one due
to resonance, one due to a avoided crossing interaction, and one due to a frame
change. It is found that the squared sum of time delays due to the avoided
crossing interaction and frame change is unity.Comment: 17 pages, 3 figures, RevTe
