    Spin Hydrodynamic Generation in the Charged Subatomic Swirl

    Full text link
    Recently there have been significant interests in the spin hydrodynamic generation phenomenon from multiple disciplines of physics. Such phenomenon arises from global polarization effect of microscopic spin by macroscopic fluid rotation and is expected to occur in the hot quark-gluon fluid (the ``subatomic swirl'') created in relativistic nuclear collisions. This was indeed discovered in experiments which however revealed an intriguing puzzle: a polarization difference between particles and anti-particles. We suggest a novel application of a general connection between rotation and magnetic field: a magnetic field naturally arises along the fluid vorticity in the charged subatomic swirl. We establish this mechanism as a new way for generating long-lived in-medium magnetic field in heavy ion collisions. Due to its novel feature, this new magnetic field provides a nontrivial explanation to the puzzling observation of a difference in spin hydrodynamic generation for particles and anti-particles in heavy ion collisions.Comment: 10 pages, 3 figures, title changed according to published versio

    It is important to understand the strong external magnetic field generated at the very beginning of high energy nuclear collisions. We study the effect of the magnetic field on the charmonium yield and anisotropic distribution in Pb+Pb collisions at the LHC energy. The time dependent Schr\"odinger equation is employed to describe the motion of ccˉc\bar{c} pairs. We compare our model prediction of non- collective anisotropic parameter v2v_2 of J/ψJ/\psis with CMS data at high transverse momentum. This is the first attempt to measure the magnetic field in high energy nuclear collisions.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    Tripartite Entanglement and Quantum Correlation

    Full text link
    We provide an analytical solution from the correlators of the generalized RR-matrix in the 3-qubit pure states. It provides the upper bound to the maximum violation of Mermin's inequality. For a generic 2-qubit pure state, the concurrence characterizes the maximum violation of Bell's inequality from the RR-matrix. Therefore, people expect that the maximum violation should be proper to quantify Quantum Entanglement. The RR-matrix shows the maximum violation of Bell's operator. For a general 3-qubit state, we have five invariant entanglement quantities under local unitary transformations. We show that the five invariant quantities describe the correlation in the generalized RR-matrix. The violation of Mermin's operator is not a proper diagnosis by observing the dependence for entanglement measures. We then classify 3-qubit quantum states. Each classification quantifies Quantum Entanglement by the total concurrence. In the end, we relate the experiment correlators to Quantum Entanglement.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figures, minor changes, reference change

    Non-Locality≠\neqQuantum Entanglement

    Full text link
    The unique entanglement measure is concurrence in a 2-qubit pure state. The maximum violation of Bell's inequality is monotonically increasing for this quantity. Therefore, people expect that pure state entanglement is relevant to the non-locality. For justification, we extend the study to three qubits. We consider all possible 3-qubit operators with a symmetric permutation. When only considering one entanglement measure, the numerical result contradicts expectation. Therefore, we conclude ``Non-Locality≠\neqQuantum Entanglement''. We propose the generalized RR-matrix or correlation matrix for the new diagnosis of Quantum Entanglement. We then demonstrate the evidence by restoring the monotonically increasing result.Comment: 38 pages, 10 figures, minor changes, reference adde
