Thermal entanglement in a two-spin-qutrit system under a nonuniform external magnetic field
The thermal entanglement in a two-spin-qutrit system with two spins coupled
by exchange interaction under a magnetic field in an arbitrary direction is
investigated. Negativity, the measurement of entanglement, is calculated. We
find that for any temperature the evolvement of negativity is symmetric with
respect to magnetic field. The behavior of negativity is presented for four
different cases. The results show that for different temperature, different
magnetic field give maximum entanglement. Both the parallel and antiparallel
magnetic field cases are investigated qualitatively (not quantitatively) in
detail, we find that the entanglement may be enhanced under an antiparallel
magnetic field.Comment: 2 eps figure
Probing crossover from analogous weak antilocalization to localization by an Aharonov-Bohm interferometer on topological insulator surface
We propose a scanning tunneling microscopy Aharonov-Bohm (AB) interferometer
on the surface of a topological insulator (TI) to probe the crossover from
analogous weak antilocalization (WAL) to weak localization (WL) phenomenon via
the AB oscillations in spin-resolved local density of states (LDOS). Based on
our analytical and numerical results, we show that with increasing the energy
gap of TI surface states, the = periodic AB oscillations in
spin-resolved LDOS gradually transit into the periodic oscillations.Comment: 4.2 APL pages, 2 figure
Thermal entanglement in a two-qubit Heisenberg XXZ spin chain under an inhomogeneous magnetic field
The thermal entanglement in a two-qubit Heisenberg \emph{XXZ} spin chain is
investigated under an inhomogeneous magnetic field \emph{b}. We show that the
ground-state entanglement is independent of the interaction of
\emph{z}-component . The thermal entanglement at the fixed temperature
can be enhanced when increases. We strictly show that for any
temperature \emph{T} and the entanglement is symmetric with respect to
zero inhomogeneous magnetic field, and the critical inhomogeneous magnetic
field is independent of . The critical magnetic field
increases with the increasing but the maximum entanglement value that the
system can arrive becomes smaller.Comment: 5 EPS figure
Wavelet Integrated CNNs for Noise-Robust Image Classification
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are generally prone to noise
interruptions, i.e., small image noise can cause drastic changes in the output.
To suppress the noise effect to the final predication, we enhance CNNs by
replacing max-pooling, strided-convolution, and average-pooling with Discrete
Wavelet Transform (DWT). We present general DWT and Inverse DWT (IDWT) layers
applicable to various wavelets like Haar, Daubechies, and Cohen, etc., and
design wavelet integrated CNNs (WaveCNets) using these layers for image
classification. In WaveCNets, feature maps are decomposed into the
low-frequency and high-frequency components during the down-sampling. The
low-frequency component stores main information including the basic object
structures, which is transmitted into the subsequent layers to extract robust
high-level features. The high-frequency components, containing most of the data
noise, are dropped during inference to improve the noise-robustness of the
WaveCNets. Our experimental results on ImageNet and ImageNet-C (the noisy
version of ImageNet) show that WaveCNets, the wavelet integrated versions of
VGG, ResNets, and DenseNet, achieve higher accuracy and better noise-robustness
than their vanilla versions.Comment: CVPR accepted pape
Complete phase diagram and topological properties of interacting bosons in one-dimensional superlattices
The interacting bosons in one-dimensional inversion-symmetric superlattices
are investigated from the topological aspect. The complete phase diagram is
obtained by an atomic-limit analysis and quantum Monte Carlo simulations and
comprises three kinds of phases: superfluid, persisted charge-density-wave and
Mott insulators, and emergent insulators in the presence of nearest-neighbor
hoppings. We find that all emergent insulators are topological, which are
characterized by the Berry phase and a pair of degenerate in-gap boundary
states. The mechanism of the topological bosonic insulators is qualitatively
discussed and the ones with higher fillings can be understood as a
-filling topological phase on a background of trivial
charge-density-wave or Mott insulators.Comment: 6 pages, 8 figures. Accelpted for publication in Phys. Rev.
Optimal teleportation via thermal entangled states of a two-qubit Heisenberg Chain
We study the optimal teleportation based on Bell measurements via the thermal
states of a two-qubit Heisenberg XXX chain in the presence of
Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya (DM) anisotropic antisymmetric interaction and obtain the
optimal unitary transformation. The explicit expressions of the output state
and the teleportation fidelity are presented and compared with those of the
standard protocol. It is shown that in this protocol the teleportation fidelity
is always larger and unit fidelity is achieved at zero temperature. The DM
interaction can enhance the teleportation fidelity at finite temperatures, as
opposed to the effect of the interaction in the standard protocol. Cases with
other types of anisotropies are also discussed.Comment: Accepted by EP
Aharonov-Bohm oscillations in the local density of topological surface states
We study Aharonov-Bohm (AB) oscillations in the local density of states
(LDOS) for topological insulator (TI) and conventional metal Au(111) surfaces
with spin-orbit interaction, which can be probed by spin-polarized scanning
tunneling microscopy. We show that the spacial AB oscillatory period in the
total LDOS is a flux quantum (weak localization) in
both systems. Remarkably, an analogous weak antilocalization with
periodic spacial AB oscillations in spin components of LDOS for TI surface is
observed, while it is absent in Au(111).Comment: 4 APL pages, 3 figure
Quantum Corrals and Quantum Mirages on the Surface of a Topological Insulator
We study quantum corrals on the surface of a topological insulator (TI).
Different resonance states induced by nonmagnetic (NM), antiferromagnetic
(AFM), and ferromagnetic (FM) corrals are found. Intriguingly, the spin is
clearly energy-resolved in a FM corral, which can be effectively used to
operate surface carrier spins of TI. We also show that an observable quantum
mirage of a magnetic impurity can be projected from the occupied into the empty
focus of a FM elliptic corral, while in NM and AFM corrals the mirage signal
becomes negligibly weak. In addition, the modulation of the interaction between
two magnetic impurities in the quantum corrals is demonstrated. These prominent
effects may be measured by spin-polarized STM experiments.Comment: 5 PRB pages, 4 figure
