Exact solutions to the time-dependent supersymmetric muliphoton Jaynes-Cummings model and the Chiao-Wu model

By using both the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant theory and the invariant-related unitary transformation formulation, the present paper obtains the exact solutions to the time-dependent supersymmetric two-level multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings model and the Chiao-Wu model that describes the propagation of a photon inside the optical fiber. On the basis of the fact that the two-level multiphoton Jaynes-Cummings model possesses the supersymmetric structure, an invariant is constructed in terms of the supersymmetric generators by working in the sub-Hilbert-space corresponding to a particular eigenvalue of the conserved supersymmetric generators (i.e., the time-independent invariant). By constructing the effective Hamiltonian that describes the interaction of the photon with the medium of the optical fiber, it is further verified that the particular solution to the Schr\"{o}dinger equation is the eigenfunction of the second-quantized momentum operator of photons field. This, therefore, means that the explicit expression (rather than the hidden form that involves the chronological product) for the time-evolution operator of wave function is obtained by means of the invariant theories.Comment: 14 pages, Latex.

Conditional Screening for Ultra-high Dimensional Covariates with Survival Outcomes

Identifying important biomarkers that are predictive for cancer patients' prognosis is key in gaining better insights into the biological influences on the disease and has become a critical component of precision medicine. The emergence of large-scale biomedical survival studies, which typically involve excessive number of biomarkers, has brought high demand in designing efficient screening tools for selecting predictive biomarkers. The vast amount of biomarkers defies any existing variable selection methods via regularization. The recently developed variable screening methods, though powerful in many practical setting, fail to incorporate prior information on the importance of each biomarker and are less powerful in detecting marginally weak while jointly important signals. We propose a new conditional screening method for survival outcome data by computing the marginal contribution of each biomarker given priorly known biological information. This is based on the premise that some biomarkers are known to be associated with disease outcomes a priori. Our method possesses sure screening properties and a vanishing false selection rate. The utility of the proposal is further confirmed with extensive simulation studies and analysis of a Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) dataset.Comment: 34 pages, 3 figure

A unified approach to exact solutions of time-dependent Lie-algebraic quantum systems

By using the Lewis-Riesenfeld theory and the invariant-related unitary transformation formulation, the exact solutions of the {\it time-dependent} Schr\"{o}dinger equations which govern the various Lie-algebraic quantum systems in atomic physics, quantum optics, nuclear physics and laser physics are obtained. It is shown that the {\it explicit} solutions may also be obtained by working in a sub-Hilbert-space corresponding to a particular eigenvalue of the conserved generator ({\it i. e.}, the {\it time-independent} invariant) for some quantum systems without quasi-algebraic structures. The global and topological properties of geometric phases and their adiabatic limit in time-dependent quantum systems/models are briefly discussed.Comment: 11 pages, Latex. accepted by Euro. Phys.

Gravitomagnetic Field and Time-Dependent Spin-Rotation Coupling

The Kerr metric of spherically symmetric gravitational field is analyzed through the coordinate transformation from the rotating frame to fixing frame, and consequently that the inertial force field (with the exception of the centrifugal force field) in the rotating system is one part of its gravitomagnetic field is verified. We investigate the spin-rotation coupling and, by making use of Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant theory, we obtain exact solutions of the Schr\"{o}dinger equation of a spinning particle in a time-dependent rotating reference frame. A potential application of these exact solutions to the investigation of Earth$^{,}$s rotating frequency fluctuation by means of neutron-gravity interferometry experiment is briefly discussed in the present paper.Comment: 6 pages, 0 figures, Late

Degree correlation effect of bipartite network on personalized recommendation

In this paper, by introducing a new user similarity index base on the diffusion process, we propose a modified collaborative filtering (MCF) algorithm, which has remarkably higher accuracy than the standard collaborative filtering. In the proposed algorithm, the degree correlation between users and objects is taken into account and embedded into the similarity index by a tunable parameter. The numerical simulation on a benchmark data set shows that the algorithmic accuracy of the MCF, measured by the average ranking score, is further improved by 18.19% in the optimal case. In addition, two significant criteria of algorithmic performance, diversity and popularity, are also taken into account. Numerical results show that the presented algorithm can provide more diverse and less popular recommendations, for example, when the recommendation list contains 10 objects, the diversity, measured by the hamming distance, is improved by 21.90%.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure
