New transformation of Wigner operator in phase space quantum mechanics for the two-mode entangled case
As a natural extension of Fan's paper (arXiv: 0903.1769vl [quant-ph]) by
employing the formula of operators' Weyl ordering expansion and the bipartite
entangled state representation we find new two-fold complex integration
transformation about the Wigner operator (in its entangled form) in phase space
quantum mechanics and its inverse transformation. In this way, some operator
ordering problems can be solved and the contents of phase space quantum
mechanics can be enriched.Comment: 8 pages, 0 figure
Spontaneous phase oscillation induced by inertia and time delay
We consider a system of coupled oscillators with finite inertia and
time-delayed interaction, and investigate the interplay between inertia and
delay both analytically and numerically. The phase velocity of the system is
examined; revealed in numerical simulations is emergence of spontaneous phase
oscillation without external driving, which turns out to be in good agreement
with analytical results derived in the strong-coupling limit. Such
self-oscillation is found to suppress synchronization and its frequency is
observed to decrease with inertia and delay. We obtain the phase diagram, which
displays oscillatory and stationary phases in the appropriate regions of the
parameters.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figures, to pe published in PR
Quantitative Description of by the Hubbard Model in Infinite Dimensions
We show that the analytic single-particle density of states and the optical
conductivity for the half-filled Hubbard model on the Bethe lattice in infinite
dimensions describe quantitatively the behavior of the gap and the kinetic
energy ratio of the correlated insulator . The form of the optical
conductivity shows rising and is quite similar to the
experimental data, and the density of states shows behavior near
the band edges.Comment: 9 pages, revtex, 4 figures upon reques
Fresnel operator, squeezed state and Wigner function for Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian
Based on the technique of integration within an ordered product (IWOP) of
operators we introduce the Fresnel operator for converting Caldirola-Kanai
Hamiltonian into time-independent harmonic oscillator Hamiltonian. The Fresnel
operator with the parameters A,B,C,D corresponds to classical optical Fresnel
transformation, these parameters are the solution to a set of partial
differential equations set up in the above mentioned converting process. In
this way the exact wavefunction solution of the Schr\"odinger equation governed
by the Caldirola-Kanai Hamiltonian is obtained, which represents a squeezed
number state. The corresponding Wigner function is derived by virtue of the
Weyl ordered form of the Wigner operator and the order-invariance of Weyl
ordered operators under similar transformations. The method used here can be
suitable for solving Schr\"odinger equation of other time-dependent
oscillators.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure

Investigating the impact of remotely sensed precipitation and hydrologic model uncertainties on the ensemble streamflow forecasting
In the past few years sequential data assimilation (SDA) methods have emerged as the best possible method at hand to properly treat all sources of error in hydrological modeling. However, very few studies have actually implemented SDA methods using realistic input error models for precipitation. In this study we use particle filtering as a SDA method to propagate input errors through a conceptual hydrologic model and quantify the state, parameter and streamflow uncertainties. Recent progress in satellite-based precipitation observation techniques offers an attractive option for considering spatiotemporal variation of precipitation. Therefore, we use the PERSIANN-CCS precipitation product to propagate input errors through our hydrologic model. Some uncertainty scenarios are set up to incorporate and investigate the impact of the individual uncertainty sources from precipitation, parameters and also combined error sources on the hydrologic response. Also probabilistic measure are used to quantify the quality of ensemble prediction. Copyright 2006 by the American Geophysical Union
Wigner functions of thermo number state, photon subtracted and added thermo vacuum state at finite temperature
Based on Takahashi-Umezawa thermo field dynamics and the order-invariance of
Weyl ordered operators under similar transformations, we present a new approach
to deriving the exact Wigner functions of thermo number state, photon
subtracted and added thermo vacuum state. We find that these Wigner functions
are related to the Gaussian-Laguerre type functions of temperature, whose
statistical properties are then analysed.Comment: 10 pages and 2 figure

Uncertainty quantification of satellite precipitation estimation and Monte Carlo assessment of the error propagation into hydrologic response
The aim of this paper is to foster the development of an end-to-end uncertainty analysis framework that can quantify satellite-based precipitation estimation error characteristics and to assess the influence of the error propagation into hydrological simulation. First, the error associated with the satellite-based precipitation estimates is assumed as a nonlinear function of rainfall space-time integration scale, rain intensity, and sampling frequency. Parameters of this function are determined by using high-resolution satellite-based precipitation estimates and gauge-corrected radar rainfall data over the southwestern United States. Parameter sensitivity analysis at 16 selected 5° × 5° latitude-longitude grids shows about 12-16% of variance of each parameter with respect to its mean value. Afterward, the influence of precipitation estimation error on the uncertainty of hydrological response is further examined with Monte Carlo simulation. By this approach, 100 ensemble members of precipitation data are generated, as forcing input to a conceptual rainfall-runoff hydrologic model, and the resulting uncertainty in the streamflow prediction is quantified. Case studies are demonstrated over the Leaf River basin in Mississippi. Compared with conventional procedure, i.e., precipitation estimation error as fixed ratio of rain rates, the proposed framework provides more realistic quantification of precipitation estimation error and offers improved uncertainty assessment of the error propagation into hydrologic simulation. Further study shows that the radar rainfall-generated streamflow sequences are consistently contained by the uncertainty bound of satellite rainfall generated streamflow at the 95% confidence interval.
