Boussinesq-type equations from nonlinear realizations of W3W_3

We construct new coset realizations of infinite-dimensional linear $W_3^{\infty}$ symmetry associated with Zamolodchikov's $W_3$ algebra which are different from the previously explored $sl_3$ Toda realization of $W_3^{\infty}$. We deduce the Boussinesq and modified Boussinesq equations as constraints on the geometry of the corresponding coset manifolds.The main characteristic features of these realizations are:i. Among the coset parameters there are the space and time coordinates $x$ and $t$ which enter the Boussinesq equations, all other coset parameters are regarded as fields depending on these coordinates;ii. The spin 2 and 3 currents of $W_3$ and two spin 1 $U(1)$ Kac- Moody currents as well as two spin 0 fields related to the $W_3$currents via Miura maps, come out as the only essential parameters-fields of these cosets. The remaining coset fields are covariantly expressed through them;iii.The Miura maps get a new geometric interpretation as $W_3^{\infty}$ covariant constraints which relate the above fields while passing from one coset manifold to another; iv. The Boussinesq equation and two kinds of the modified Boussinesq equations appear geometrically as the dynamical constraints accomplishing $W_3^{\infty}$ covariant reductions of original coset manifolds to their two-dimensional geodesic submanifolds;v. The zero-curvature representations for these equations arise automatically as a consequence of the covariant reduction. The approach proposed could provide a universal geometric description of the relationship between $W$-type algebras and integrable hierarchies.Comment: 23 pages, LaTe

N=2 Super - W3W_{3} Algebra and N=2 Super Boussinesq Equations

We study classical $N=2$ super-$W_3$ algebra and its interplay with $N=2$ supersymmetric extensions of the Boussinesq equation in the framework of the nonlinear realization method and the inverse Higgs - covariant reduction approach. These techniques have been previously applied by us in the bosonic $W_3$ case to give a new geometric interpretation of the Boussinesq hierarchy. Here we deduce the most general $N=2$ super Boussinesq equation and two kinds of the modified $N=2$ super Boussinesq equations, as well as the super Miura maps relating these systems to each other, by applying the covariant reduction to certain coset manifolds of linear $N=2$ super-$W_3^{\infty}$ symmetry associated with $N=2$ super-$W_3$. We discuss the integrability properties of the equations obtained and their correspondence with the formulation based on the notion of the second hamiltonian structure.Comment: LaTeX, 30

Scalable quantum search using trapped ions

We propose a scalable implementation of Grover's quantum search algorithm in a trapped-ion quantum information processor. The system is initialized in an entangled Dicke state by using simple adiabatic techniques. The inversion-about-average and the oracle operators take the form of single off-resonant laser pulses, addressing, respectively, all and half of the ions in the trap. This is made possible by utilizing the physical symmetrie of the trapped-ion linear crystal. The physical realization of the algorithm represents a dramatic simplification: each logical iteration (oracle and inversion about average) requires only two physical interaction steps, in contrast to the large number of concatenated gates required by previous approaches. This does not only facilitate the implementation, but also increases the overall fidelity of the algorithm.Comment: 6 pages, 2 figure

The semileptonic decays of the B_c meson

We study the semileptonic transitions B_c to \eta_c, J/\psi, D, D^*, B, B^*, B_s, B_s^* in the framework of a relativistic constituent quark model. We use experimental data on leptonic J/\psi decay, lattice and QCD sum rule results on leptonic B_c decay, and on radiative \eta_c transitions to adjust the quark model parameters. We compute all form factors of the above semileptonic B_c-transitions and give predictions for various semileptonic B_c decay modes including their \tau-modes when they are kinematically accessible. The implications of heavy quark symmetry for the semileptonic decays are discussed and are shown to be manifest in our explicit relativistic quark model calculation. A comparison of our results with the results of other calculations is performed.Comment: 31 pages Latex (uses epsf, revtex). Section II expanded, typos corrected. This version will appear in Phys.

Simulation of Jahn-Teller-Dicke Magnetic Structural Phase Transition with Trapped Ions

We study theoretically the collective E$\otimes$e Jahn-Teller-Dicke distortion in a system of trapped ions. We focus in the limit of infinite range interactions in which an ensemble of effective spins interacts with two collective vibrational modes with U(1) symmetric couplings. Our model is exactly solvable in the thermodynamical limit and it is amenable to be solved by exact numerical diagonalization for a moderate number of ions. We show that trapped ions are ideally suited to study the emergence of spontaneous symmetry breaking of a continuous symmetry and magnetic structural phase transition in a mesoscopic system.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figure
