Relationship between spin squeezing and single-particle coherence in two-component Bose-Einstein condensates with Josephson coupling
We investigate spin squeezing of a two-mode boson system with a Josephson
coupling. An exact relation between the squeezing and the single-particle
coherence at the maximal-squeezing time is discovered, which provides a more
direct way to measure the squeezing by readout the coherence in atomic
interference experiments. We prove explicitly that the strongest squeezing is
along the axis, indicating the appearance of atom number-squeezed state.
Power laws of the strongest squeezing and the optimal coupling with particle
number are obtained based upon a wide range of numerical simulations.Comment: 4 figures, revtex4, new refs. are adde
A flexible mandatory access control policy for XML databases
A flexible mandatory access control policy (MAC) for XML
databases is presented in this paper. The label type and label
access policy can be defined according to the requirements of
applications. In order to preserve the integrity of data in XML
databases, a constraint between a read access rule and a write
access rule in label access policy is introduced. Rules for label
assignment and propagation are proposed to alleviate the
workload of label assignment. Also, a solution for resolving
conflicts of label assignments is proposed. At last, operations for
implementation of the MAC policy in a XML database are
illustrated

A practical mandatory access control model for XML databases
A practical mandatory access control (MAC) model for XML databases is presented in this paper. The
label type and label access policy can be defined according to the requirements of different applications. In order to
preserve the integrity of data in XML databases, a constraint between a read-access rule and a write-access rule in
label access policy is introduced. Rules for label assignment and propagation are presented to alleviate the workload
of label assignments. Furthermore, a solution for resolving conflicts in label assignments is proposed. Rules for
update-related operations, rules for exceptional privileges of ordinary users and the administrator are also proposed
to preserve the security of operations in XML databases. The MAC model, we proposed in this study, has been
implemented in an XML database. Test results demonstrated that our approach provides rational and scalable
performance
A Manganin Foil Sensor for Small Uniaxial Stress
We describe a simple manganin foil resistance manometer for uniaxial stress
measurements. The manometer functions at low pressures and over a range of
temperatures. In this design no temperature seasoning is necessary, although
the manometer must be prestressed to the upper end of the desired pressure
range. The prestress pressure cannot be increased arbitrarily; irreversibility
arising from shear stress limits its range. Attempting larger pressures yields
irreproducible resistance measurements.Comment: 3 pages, 3 figure
Thermodynamics of lattice QCD with 2 flavours of colour-sextet quarks: A model of walking/conformal Technicolor
QCD with two flavours of massless colour-sextet quarks is considered as a
model for conformal/walking Technicolor. If this theory possess an infrared
fixed point, as indicated by 2-loop perturbation theory, it is a
conformal(unparticle) field theory. If, on the other hand, a chiral condensate
forms on the weak-coupling side of this would-be fixed point, the theory
remains confining. The only difference between such a theory and regular QCD is
that there is a range of momentum scales over which the coupling constant runs
very slowly (walks). In this first analysis, we simulate the lattice version of
QCD with two flavours of staggered quarks at finite temperatures on lattices of
temporal extent and 6. The deconfinement and chiral-symmetry
restoration couplings give us a measure of the scales associated with
confinement and chiral-symmetry breaking. We find that, in contrast to what is
seen with fundamental quarks, these transition couplings are very different.
for each of these transitions increases significantly from
and as expected for the finite temperature transitions of an
asymptotically-free theory. This suggests a walking rather than a conformal
behaviour, in contrast to what is observed with Wilson quarks. In contrast to
what is found for fundamental quarks, the deconfined phase exhibits states in
which the Polyakov loop is oriented in the directions of all three cube roots
of unity. At very weak coupling the states with complex Polyakov loops undergo
a transition to a state with a real, negative Polyakov loop.Comment: 21 pages, 9 figures, Revtex with postscript figures. One extra

N_pN_n dependence of empirical formula for the lowest excitation energy of the 2^+ states in even-even nuclei
We examine the effects of the additional term of the type on the recently proposed empirical formula for the lowest excitation
energy of the states in even-even nuclei. This study is motivated by the
fact that this term carries the favorable dependence of the valence nucleon
numbers dictated by the scheme. We show explicitly that there is not
any improvement in reproducing by including the extra
term. However, our study also reveals that the excitation energies
, when calculated by the term alone (with the mass number
dependent term), are quite comparable to those calculated by the original
empirical formula.Comment: 14 pages, 5 figure
Observation of Andreev Surface Bound States in the 3-K phase Region of Sr_2RuO_4
The tunneling spectrum of the superconducting phase with T_c ~ 3.0 K has been
measured in the Ru-embedded region of Sr_2RuO_4 using cleaved junctions. A
sharp zero-bias conductance peak (ZBCP) has been observed below 3 K. All
characteristics of this ZBCP suggest that it originates from Andreev surface
bound states, indicating that the pairing in the 3-K phase is also non-s-wave.
Below the bulk T_c of Sr_2RuO_4 (~1.5 K), a bell-shaped ZBCP was found. This
supports that there is a phase transition in the 3-K phase region near the bulk
T_c.Comment: 4 pages, to appear in Phys. Rev. Lett. 87 (2001
Finite-temperature charge transport in the one-dimensional Hubbard model
We study the charge conductivity of the one-dimensional repulsive Hubbard
model at finite temperature using the method of dynamical quantum typicality,
focusing at half filling. This numerical approach allows us to obtain current
autocorrelation functions from systems with as many as 18 sites, way beyond the
range of standard exact diagonalization. Our data clearly suggest that the
charge Drude weight vanishes with a power law as a function of system size. The
low-frequency dependence of the conductivity is consistent with a finite dc
value and thus with diffusion, despite large finite-size effects. Furthermore,
we consider the mass-imbalanced Hubbard model for which the charge Drude weight
decays exponentially with system size, as expected for a non-integrable model.
We analyze the conductivity and diffusion constant as a function of the mass
imbalance and we observe that the conductivity of the lighter component
decreases exponentially fast with the mass-imbalance ratio. While in the
extreme limit of immobile heavy particles, the Falicov-Kimball model, there is
an effective Anderson-localization mechanism leading to a vanishing
conductivity of the lighter species, we resolve finite conductivities for an
inverse mass ratio of .Comment: 13 pages, 11 figure
