Classification of Arbitrary Multipartite Entangled States under Local Unitary Equivalence
We propose a practical method for finding the canonical forms of arbitrary
dimensional multipartite entangled states, either pure or mixed. By extending
the technique developed in one of our recent works, the canonical forms for the
mixed -partite entangled states are constructed where they have inherited
local unitary symmetries from their corresponding pure state
counterparts. A systematic scheme to express the local symmetries of the
canonical form is also presented, which provides a feasible way of verifying
the local unitary equivalence for two multipartite entangled states.Comment: 22 pages; published in J. Phys. A: Math. Theo

Gauged Q ball in a piecewise parabolic potential
Q ball solutions are considered within the theory of a complex scalar field
with a gauged
U(1) symmetry and a parabolic-type potential. In the thin-walled limit, we
show explicitly that there is a maximum size for these objects because of the
repulsive Coulomb force. The size of Q ball will increase with the decrease of
local minimum of the potential. And when the two minima degenerate, the energy
stored within the surface of the Q ball becomes significant.
Furthermore, we find an analytic expression for gauged Q ball, which is
beyond the conventional thin-walled limit.Comment: 1 figure
Slow Adaptive OFDMA Systems Through Chance Constrained Programming
Adaptive OFDMA has recently been recognized as a promising technique for
providing high spectral efficiency in future broadband wireless systems. The
research over the last decade on adaptive OFDMA systems has focused on adapting
the allocation of radio resources, such as subcarriers and power, to the
instantaneous channel conditions of all users. However, such "fast" adaptation
requires high computational complexity and excessive signaling overhead. This
hinders the deployment of adaptive OFDMA systems worldwide. This paper proposes
a slow adaptive OFDMA scheme, in which the subcarrier allocation is updated on
a much slower timescale than that of the fluctuation of instantaneous channel
conditions. Meanwhile, the data rate requirements of individual users are
accommodated on the fast timescale with high probability, thereby meeting the
requirements except occasional outage. Such an objective has a natural chance
constrained programming formulation, which is known to be intractable. To
circumvent this difficulty, we formulate safe tractable constraints for the
problem based on recent advances in chance constrained programming. We then
develop a polynomial-time algorithm for computing an optimal solution to the
reformulated problem. Our results show that the proposed slow adaptation scheme
drastically reduces both computational cost and control signaling overhead when
compared with the conventional fast adaptive OFDMA. Our work can be viewed as
an initial attempt to apply the chance constrained programming methodology to
wireless system designs. Given that most wireless systems can tolerate an
occasional dip in the quality of service, we hope that the proposed methodology
will find further applications in wireless communications
Formation of superheavy nuclei in cold fusion reactions
Within the concept of the dinuclear system (DNS), a dynamical model is
proposed for describing the formation of superheavy nuclei in complete fusion
reactions by incorporating the coupling of the relative motion to the nucleon
transfer process. The capture of two heavy colliding nuclei, the formation of
the compound nucleus and the de-excitation process are calculated by using an
empirical coupled channel model, solving a master equation numerically and
applying statistical theory, respectively. Evaporation residue excitation
functions in cold fusion reactions are investigated systematically and compared
with available experimental data. Maximal production cross sections of
superheavy nuclei in cold fusion reactions with stable neutron-rich projectiles
are obtained. Isotopic trends in the production of the superheavy elements
Z=110, 112, 114, 116, 118 and 120 are analyzed systematically. Optimal
combinations and the corresponding excitation energies are proposed.Comment: 18 pages, 8 figure
Possible Way to Synthesize Superheavy Element Z=117
Within the framework of the dinuclear system model, the production of
superheavy element Z=117 in possible projectile-target combinations is analyzed
systematically. The calculated results show that the production cross sections
are strongly dependent on the reaction systems. Optimal combinations,
corresponding excitation energies and evaporation channels are proposed in this
letter, such as the isotopes ^{248,249}Bk in ^{48}Ca induced reactions in 3n
evaporation channels and the reactions ^{45}Sc+^{246,248}Cm in 3n and 4n
channels, and the system ^{51}V+^{244}Pu in 3n channel.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl
Correlation of the plasmon-enhanced photoconductance and photovoltaic properties of core-shell Au@TiO2 network
This study reveals the contribution of hot electrons from the excited plasmonic nanoparticles in dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) by correlating the photoconductance of a core-shell Au@TiO2 network on a micro-gap electrode and the photovolatic properties of this material as photoanodes in DSSCs. The distinct wavelength dependence of these two devices reveals that the plasmon-excited hot electrons can easily overcome the Schottky barrier at Au/TiO2 interface in the whole visible wavelength range and transfer from Au nanoparticles into the TiO2 network. The enhanced charge carrier density leads to higher photoconductance and facilitates more efficient charge separation and photoelectron collection in the DSSCs
