Representation of quantum states as points in a probability simplex associated to a SIC-POVM
The quantum state of a -dimensional system can be represented by the
probabilities corresponding to a SIC-POVM, and then this distribution of
probability can be represented by a vector of in a simplex, we
will call this set of vectors . Other way of represent a
-dimensional system is by the corresponding Bloch vector also in
, we will call this set of vectors . In this paper it
is proved that with the adequate scaling . Also we
indicate some features of the shape of .Comment: 12 pages. Added journal referenc
Equilibrium magnetization in the vicinity of the first order phase transition in the mixed state of high-Tc superconductors
We present the results of a scaling analysis of isothermal magnetization M(H)
curves measured in the mixed state of high-Tc superconductors in the vicinity
of the established first order phase transition. The most surprising result of
our analysis is that the difference between the magnetization above and below
the transition may have either sign, depending on the particular chosen sample.
We argue that this observation, based on M(H) data available in the literature,
is inconsistent with the interpretation that the well known first order phase
transition in the mixed state of high-Tc superconductors always represents the
melting transition in the vortex system.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figure
Color Superconductivity and Radius of Quark Star in Extended NJL Model by Using the Dimensional Regularization
A radius of a dense star on the color superconducting phase is investigated
in an extended NJL type model with two flavors of quarks. Since the model is
non-renormalizable, the results depend on the regularization procedure. Here we
apply the dimensional regularization and evaluate the radius of a dense star.
Evaluating the TOV equation, we show the relationship between mass and radius
of the dense star in the dimensional regularization.Comment: 4 pages.To appear in the proceedings of 7th Workshop on Quantum Field

Quantum Larmor radiation in conformally flat universe
We investigate the quantum effect on the Larmor radiation from a moving
charge in an expanding universe based on the framework of the scalar quantum
electrodynamics (SQED). A theoretical formula for the radiation energy is
derived at the lowest order of the perturbation theory with respect to the
coupling constant of the SQED. We evaluate the radiation energy on the
background universe so that the Minkowski spacetime transits to the Milne
universe, in which the equation of motion for the mode function of the free
complex scalar field can be exactly solved in an analytic way. Then, the result
is compared with the WKB approach, in which the equation of motion of the mode
function is constructed with the WKB approximation which is valid as long as
the Compton wavelength is shorter than the Hubble horizon length. This
demonstrates that the quantum effect on the Larmor radiation of the order
e^2\hbar is determined by a non-local integration in time depending on the
background expansion. We also compare our result with a recent work by Higuchi
and Walker [Phys. Rev. D80 105019 (2009)], which investigated the quantum
correction to the Larmor radiation from a charged particle in a
non-relativistic motion in a homogeneous electric field.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure, accepted for publication in Physical Review
A transceiver module of the Mu radar
The transceiver (TR) module of a middle and upper atmospheric radar is described. The TR module used in the radar is mainly composed of two units: a mixer (MIX unit) and a power amplifier (PA unit). The former generates the RF wave for transmission and converts the received echo to the IF signal. A 41.5-MHz local signal fed to mixers passes through a digitally controlled 8-bit phase shifter which can change its value up to 1,000 times in a second, so that the MU radar has the ability to steer its antenna direction quickly and flexibly. The MIX unit also contains a buffer amplifier and a gate for the transmitting signal and preamplifier for the received one whose noise figure is less than 5 dB. The PA unit amplifies the RF signal supplied from the MIX unit up to 63.7 dBm (2350 W), and feeds it to the crossed Yagi antenna
NMR evidence for a strong modulation of the Bose-Einstein Condensate in BaCuSiO
We present a Cu and Si NMR study of the quasi-2D coupled
spin 1/2 dimer compound BaCuSiO in the magnetic field range 13-26 T and
at temperatures as low as 50 mK. NMR data in the gapped phase reveal that below
90 K different intra-dimer exchange couplings and different gaps
( = 1.16) exist in every second plane along
the c-axis, in addition to a planar incommensurate (IC) modulation. Si
spectra in the field induced magnetic ordered phase reveal that close to the
quantum critical point at = 23.35 T the average boson density
of the Bose-Einstein condensate is strongly modulated along the
c-axis with a density ratio for every second plane
. An IC modulation of the local
density is also present in each plane. This adds new constraints for the
understanding of the 2D value = 1 of the critical exponent describing
the phase boundary
Phase diagram of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with dimensional regularization
We investigate the phase diagram on temperature-chemical potential plane in
the Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model with the dimensional regularization. While the
structure of the resulting diagram shows resemblance to the one in the
frequently used cutoff regularization, some results of our study indicate
striking difference between these regularizations. The diagram in the
dimensional regularization exhibits strong tendency of the first order phase
transition.Comment: 9 pages, 9 figure
Roles of Bond Alternation in Magnetic Phase Diagram of RMnO3
In order to investigate nature of the antiferromagnetic structures in
perovskite RMnO3, we study a Heisenberg J1-J2 model with bond alternation using
analytical and numerical approaches. The magnetic phase diagram which includes
incommensurate spiral states and commensurate collinear states is reproduced.
We discuss that the magnetic structure with up-up-down-down spin configuration
(E-type structure) and the ferroelectricity emerge cooperatively to stabilize
this phase. Magnetoelastic couplings are crucial to understand the magnetic and
electric phase diagram of RMnO3.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure
Current distribution inside Py/Cu lateral spin-valve device
We have investigated experimentally the non-local voltage signal (NLVS) in
the lateral permalloy (Py)/Cu/Py spin valve devices with different width of Cu
stripes. We found that NLVS strongly depends on the distribution of the
spin-polarized current inside Cu strip in the vicinity of the Py-detector. To
explain these data we have developed a diffusion model describing spatial (3D)
distribution of the spin-polarized current in the device. The results of our
calculations show that NLVS is decreased by factor of 10 due to spin
flip-scattering occurring at Py/Cu interface. The interface resistivity on
Py/Cu interface is also present, but its contribution to reduction of NLVS is
minor. We also found that most of the spin-polarized current is injected within
the region 30 nm from Py-injector/Cu interface. In the area at Py-detector/Cu
interface, the spin-polarized current is found to flow mainly close on the
injector side, with 1/e exponential decay in the magnitude within the distance
80 nm.Comment: 10 pages, 14 figure
