Group theoretical study of LOCC-detection of maximally entangled state using hypothesis testing
In the asymptotic setting, the optimal test for hypotheses testing of the
maximally entangled state is derived under several locality conditions for
measurements. The optimal test is obtained in several cases with the asymptotic
framework as well as the finite-sample framework. In addition, the experimental
scheme for the optimal test is presented
Fisher information and asymptotic normality in system identification for quantum Markov chains
This paper deals with the problem of estimating the coupling constant
of a mixing quantum Markov chain. For a repeated measurement on the
chain's output we show that the outcomes' time average has an asymptotically
normal (Gaussian) distribution, and we give the explicit expressions of its
mean and variance. In particular we obtain a simple estimator of whose
classical Fisher information can be optimized over different choices of
measured observables. We then show that the quantum state of the output
together with the system, is itself asymptotically Gaussian and compute its
quantum Fisher information which sets an absolute bound to the estimation
error. The classical and quantum Fisher informations are compared in a simple
example. In the vicinity of we find that the quantum Fisher
information has a quadratic rather than linear scaling in output size, and
asymptotically the Fisher information is localised in the system, while the
output is independent of the parameter.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures. final versio
Statistical analysis on testing of an entangled state based on Poisson distribution framework
A hypothesis testing scheme for entanglement has been formulated based on the
Poisson distribution framework instead of the POVM framework. Three designs
were proposed to test the entangled states in this framework. The designs were
evaluated in terms of the asymptotic variance. It has been shown that the
optimal time allocation between the coincidence and anti-coincidence
measurement bases improves the conventional testing method. The test can be
further improved by optimizing the time allocation between the anti-coincidence
bases.Comment: This paper is an extended version of the theoretical part of v1 of

Two quantum analogues of Fisher information from a large deviation viewpoint of quantum estimation
We discuss two quantum analogues of Fisher information, symmetric logarithmic
derivative (SLD) Fisher information and Kubo-Mori-Bogoljubov (KMB) Fisher
information from a large deviation viewpoint of quantum estimation and prove
that the former gives the true bound and the latter gives the bound of
consistent superefficient estimators. In another comparison, it is shown that
the difference between them is characterized by the change of the order of
limits.Comment: LaTeX with iopart.cls, iopart12.clo, iopams.st
One-loop unitarity of scalar field theories on Poincare invariant commutative nonassociative spacetimes
We study scalar field theories on Poincare invariant commutative
nonassociative spacetimes. We compute the one-loop self-energy diagrams in the
ordinary path integral quantization scheme with Feynman's prescription, and
find that the Cutkosky rule is satisfied. This property is in contrast with
that of noncommutative field theory, since it is known that noncommutative
field theory with space/time noncommutativity violates unitarity in the above
standard scheme, and the quantization procedure will necessarily become
complicated to obtain a sensible Poincare invariant noncommutative field
theory. We point out a peculiar feature of the non-locality in our
nonassociative field theories, which may explain the property of the unitarity
distinct from noncommutative field theories. Thus commutative nonassociative
field theories seem to contain physically interesting field theories on
deformed spacetimes.Comment: 25 pages, 9 figures ; appendix and references adde
Path Integral for Space-time Noncommutative Field Theory
The path integral for space-time noncommutative theory is formulated by means
of Schwinger's action principle which is based on the equations of motion and a
suitable ansatz of asymptotic conditions. The resulting path integral has
essentially the same physical basis as the Yang-Feldman formulation. It is
first shown that higher derivative theories are neatly dealt with by the path
integral formulation, and the underlying canonical structure is recovered by
the Bjorken-Johnson-Low (BJL) prescription from correlation functions defined
by the path integral. A simple theory which is non-local in time is then
analyzed for an illustration of the complications related to quantization,
unitarity and positive energy conditions. From the view point of BJL
prescription, the naive quantization in the interaction picture is justified
for space-time noncommutative theory but not for the simple theory non-local in
time. We finally show that the perturbative unitarity and the positive energy
condition, in the sense that only the positive energy flows in the positive
time direction for any fixed time-slice in space-time, are not simultaneously
satisfied for space-time noncommutative theory by the known methods of
quantization.Comment: 21 page
Anyonic Realization of the Quantum Affine Lie Algebra U_q(A_N)
We give a realization of quantum affine Lie algebra in
terms of anyons defined on a two-dimensional lattice, the deformation parameter
being related to the statistical parameter of the anyons by . In the limit of the deformation parameter going to one we recover
the Feingold-Frenkel fermionic construction of undeformed affine Lie algebra.Comment: 13p LaTeX Document (should be run twice
Dispersion Relations for Thermally Excited Waves in Plasma Crystals
Thermally excited waves in a Plasma crystal were numerically simulated using
a Box_Tree code. The code is a Barnes_Hut tree code proven effective in
modeling systems composed of large numbers of particles. Interaction between
individual particles was assumed to conform to a Yukawa potential. Particle
charge, mass, density, Debye length and output data intervals are all
adjustable parameters in the code. Employing a Fourier transform on the output
data, dispersion relations for both longitudinal and transverse wave modes were
determined. These were compared with the dispersion relations obtained from
experiment as well as a theory based on a harmonic approximation to the
potential. They were found to agree over a range of 0.9<k<5, where k is the
shielding parameter, defined by the ratio between interparticle distance a and
dust Debye length lD. This is an improvement over experimental data as current
experiments can only verify the theory up to k = 1.5.Comment: 8 pages, Presented at COSPAR '0
