Quantum Energy Teleportation with Electromagnetic Field: Discrete vs. Continuous Variables
It is well known that usual quantum teleportation protocols cannot transport
energy. Recently, new protocols called quantum energy teleportation (QET) have
been proposed, which transport energy by local operations and classical
communication with the ground states of many-body quantum systems. In this
paper, we compare two different QET protocols for transporting energy with
electromagnetic field. In the first protocol, a 1/2 spin (a qubit) is coupled
with the quantum fluctuation in the vacuum state and measured in order to
obtain one-bit information about the fluctuation for the teleportation. In the
second protocol, a harmonic oscillator is coupled with the fluctuation and
measured in order to obtain continuous-variable information about the
fluctuation. In the spin protocol, the amount of teleported energy is
suppressed by an exponential damping factor when the amount of input energy
increases. This suppression factor becomes power damping in the case of the
harmonic oscillator protocol. Therefore, it is concluded that obtaining more
information about the quantum fluctuation leads to teleporting more energy.
This result suggests a profound relationship between energy and quantum
information.Comment: 24 pages, 4 figures, to be published in Journal of Physics A:

Quadrupole Susceptibility of Gd-Based Filled Skutterudite Compounds
It is shown that quadrupole susceptibility can be detected in Gd compounds
contrary to our textbook knowledge that Gd ion induces pure spin moment
due to the Hund's rules in an coupling scheme. The ground-state multiplet
of Gd is always characterized by =7/2, where denotes total
angular momentum, but in a - coupling scheme, one electron in =7/2
octet carries quadrupole moment, while other six electrons fully occupy =5/2
sextet, where denotes one-electron total angular momentum. For realistic
values of Coulomb interaction and spin-orbit coupling, the ground-state
wavefunction is found to contain significant amount of the - coupling
component. From the evaluation of quadrupole susceptibility in a simple
mean-field approximation, we point out a possibility to detect the softening of
elastic constant in Gd-based filled skutterudites.Comment: 8 pages, 4 figure
Can Impurity Effects Help to Identify the Symmetry of the Order Parameter of the Cuprates?
The effects of non-magnetic impurities on the properties of superconductors
with order parameters (OP) of different symmetry are discussed. In particular,
we contrast the case of a d_{x^2 - y^2} with various forms of an anisotropic
s-wave (ASW) gap. The biggest qualitative difference occurs if the phase of the
s-wave OP does not change sign.Comment: 2pages, uuencoded Postscript, to appear in the Proceedings of the

Electric Dipolar Susceptibility of the Anderson-Holstein Model
The temperature dependence of electric dipolar susceptibility \chi_P is
discussed on the basis of the Anderson-Holstein model with the use of a
numerical renormalization group (NRG) technique. Note that P is related with
phonon Green's function D. In order to obtain correct temperature dependence of
P at low temperatures, we propose a method to evaluate P through the Dyson
equation from charge susceptibility \chi_c calculated by the NRG, in contrast
to the direct NRG calculation of D. We find that the irreducible charge
susceptibility estimated from \chi_c agree with the perturbation calculation,
suggesting that our method works well.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Kondo Effect in an Electron System with Dynamical Jahn-Teller Impurity
We investigate how Kondo phenomenon occurs in the Anderson model dynamically
coupled with local Jahn-Teller phonons. It is found that the total angular
moment composed of electron pseudo-spin and phonon angular moments is screened
by conduction electrons. Namely, phonon degrees of freedom essentially
contribute to the formation of singlet ground state. A characteristic
temperature of the Kondo effect due to dynamical Jahn-Teller phonons is
explained by an effective - Hamiltonian with anisotropic exchange
interaction obtained from the Jahn-Teller-Anderson model in a non-adiabatic
region.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
Multipole as -Electron Spin-Charge Density in Filled Skutterudites
It is shown that -electron multipole is naturally defined as spin-charge
one-electron density operator in the second-quantized form with the use of
tensor operator on the analogy of multipole expansion of electromagnetic
potential from charge distribution in electromagnetism. Due to this definition
of multipole, it is possible to determine multipole state from a microscopic
viewpoint on the basis of the standard linear response theory for multipole
susceptibility. In order to discuss multipole properties of filled
skutterudites, we analyze a seven-orbital impurity Anderson model by employing
a numerical renormalization group method. We show our results on possible
multipole states of filled skutterudite compounds.Comment: To appear in the Proceedings of International Conference on "New

Multipole correlations in low-dimensional f-electron systems
By using a density matrix renormalization group method, we investigate the
ground-state properties of a one-dimensional three-orbital Hubbard model on the
basis of a j-j coupling scheme. For , where is a parameter
to control cubic crystalline electric field effect, one orbital is itinerant,
while other two are localized. Due to the competition between itinerant and
localized natures, we obtain orbital ordering pattern which is sensitive to
, leading to a characteristic change of quadrupole state
into an incommensurate structure. At , all the three orbitals are
degenerate, but we observe a peak at in quadrupole
correlation, indicating a ferro-orbital state, and the peak at in
dipole correlation, suggesting an antiferromagnetic state. We
also discuss the effect of octupole on magnetic anisotropy.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figures, Proceedings of ASR-WYP-2005 (September 27-29,

Multipole State of Heavy Lanthanide Filled Skutterudites
We discuss multipole properties of filled skutterudites containing heavy
lanthanide Ln from a microscopic viewpoint on the basis of a seven-orbital
Anderson model. For Ln=Gd, in contrast to naive expectation, quadrupole moments
remain in addition to main dipole ones. For Ln=Ho, we find an exotic state
governed by octupole moment. For Ln=Tb and Tm, no significant multipole moments
appear at low temperatures, while for Ln=Dy, Er, and Yb, dipole and
higher-order multipoles are dominant. We briefly discuss possible relevance of
these multipole states with actual materials.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
