The potential and string breaking of doubly heavy baryon at finite temperature and chemical potential
Using gauge/gravity duality, we study the string breaking and melting of
doubly heavy baryon at a finite chemical potential and temperature. The decay
mode is investigated in this paper.
With the increase of temperature and chemical potential, string breaking takes
place at a smaller potential energy. It is also found that the QQq melts at
small separate distance with the increase of temperature and chemical
potential. Then, we compare the screening distance of QQq with
under the same conditions. Finally, we draw the melting diagram of QQq and
in the plane.Comment: 24pages, 18 figure
High visibility on-chip quantum interference of single surface plasmons
Quantum photonic integrated circuits (QPICs) based on dielectric waveguides
have been widely used in linear optical quantum computation. Recently, surface
plasmons have been introduced to this application because they can confine and
manipulate light beyond the diffraction limit. In this study, the on-chip
quantum interference of two single surface plasmons was achieved using
dielectric-loaded surface-plasmon-polariton waveguides. The high visibility
(greater than 90%) proves the bosonic nature of single plasmons and emphasizes
the feasibility of achieving basic quantum logic gates for linear optical
quantum computation. The effect of intrinsic losses in plasmonic waveguides
with regard to quantum information processing is also discussed. Although the
influence of this effect was negligible in the current experiment, our studies
reveal that such losses can dramatically reduce quantum interference visibility
in certain cases; thus, quantum coherence must be carefully considered when
designing QPIC devices.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
What Should Streamers Communicate in Livestream E-Commerce? The Effects of Social Interactions on Live Streaming Performance
Compared with traditional e-commerce, livestreaming e-commerce is characterized by direct and intimate communication between streamers and consumers that stimulates instant social interactions. This study focuses on streamers’ three types of information exchange (i.e., product information, social conversation, and social solicitation) and examines their roles in driving both short-term and long-term livestreaming performance (i.e., sales and customer base growth). We find that the informational role of product information (nonpromotional and promotional) is beneficial not only to sales performance, but also to the growth of the customer base. We also find that social conversation has a relationship-building effect that positively impacts both sales and customer base growth, whereas social solicitation has both a relationship-building and a relationship-straining effect that positively affects customer base growth but can hurt sales. Furthermore, our results show that streamers’ social interactions with consumers can stimulate consumer engagement in different ways, leading to different effects on livestreaming performance
