Spin swap vs. double occupancy in quantum gates
We propose an approach to realize quantum gates with electron spins localized
in a semiconductor that uses double occupancy to advantage. With a fast
(non-adiabatic) time control of the tunnelling, the probability of double
occupancy is first increased and then brought back exactly to zero. The quantum
phase built in this process can be exploited to realize fast quantum
operations. We illustrate the idea focusing on the half-swap operation, which
is the key two-qubit operation needed to build a CNOT gate.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure
Agricultural aviation user requirement priorities
The results are given of a research project pertaining to the development of agricultural aviation user requirement priorities. The raw data utilized in the project was obtained from the National Agricultural Aviation Association. A specially configured poll, developed by the Actuarial Research Corporation was used to solicit responses from NAAA members and others. The primary product of the poll is the specification of seriousness as determined by the respondents for some selected agricultural aviation problem areas identified and defined during the course of an intensive analysis by the Actuarial Research Corporation
Renormalization schemes and the range of two-nucleon effective field theory
The OS and PDS renormalization schemes for the effective field theory with
nucleons and pions are investigated. We explain in detail how the
renormalization is implemented using local counterterms. Fits to the NN
scattering data are performed in the 1S0 and 3S1 channels for different values
of mu_R. An error analysis indicates that the range of the theory with
perturbative pions is consistent with 500 MeV.Comment: 40 pages, typos corrected, journal version. Discussion of the range
in section VII clarified, conclusions unchange
Eigenstate Structure in Graphs and Disordered Lattices
We study wave function structure for quantum graphs in the chaotic and
disordered regime, using measures such as the wave function intensity
distribution and the inverse participation ratio. The result is much less
ergodicity than expected from random matrix theory, even though the spectral
statistics are in agreement with random matrix predictions. Instead, analytical
calculations based on short-time semiclassical behavior correctly describe the
eigenstate structure.Comment: 4 pages, including 2 figure
The Long and Short of Nuclear Effective Field Theory Expansions
Nonperturbative effective field theory calculations for NN scattering seem to
break down at rather low momenta. By examining several toy models, we clarify
how effective field theory expansions can in general be used to properly
separate long- and short-range effects. We find that one-pion exchange has a
large effect on the scattering phase shift near poles in the amplitude, but
otherwise can be treated perturbatively. Analysis of a toy model that
reproduces 1S0 NN scattering data rather well suggests that failures of
effective field theories for momenta above the pion mass can be due to
short-range physics rather than the treatment of pion exchange. We discuss the
implications this has for extending the applicability of effective field
theories.Comment: 22 pages, 9 figures, references corrected, minor modification
Comment on "The Phenomenology of a Nonstandard Higgs Boson in W_L W_L Scattering"
We show that in Composite Higgs models, the coupling of the Higgs resonance
to a pair of bosons is weaker than the corresponding Standard Model
coupling, provided the Higgs arises from electroweak doublets only. This is
partly due to the effects of the nonlinear realization of the chiral symmetries
at the compositeness scale.Comment: 6 pages, BU-HEP 94-2
Chiral Lagrangians at finite density
The effective SU(2) chiral Lagrangian with external sources is given in the
presence of non-vanishing nucleon densities by calculating the in-medium
contributions of the chiral pion-nucleon Lagrangian. As a by product, a
relativistic quantum field theory for Fermi many-particle systems at zero
temperature is directly derived from relativistic quantum field theory with
functional methods.Comment: 6 Pages, 3 figures, REVTeX. Extended version. Explicit Feynman rules
are give
The Delta-Delta Intermediate State in 1S0 Nucleon-Nucleon Scattering From Effective Field Theory
We examine the role of the Delta-Delta intermediate state in low energy NN
scattering using effective field theory. Theories both with and without pions
are discussed. They are regulated with dimensional regularization and MSbar
subtraction. We find that the leading effects of the Delta-Delta state can be
absorbed by a redefinition of the contact terms in a theory with nucleons only.
It does not remove the requirement of a higher dimension operator to reproduce
data out to moderate momentum. The explicit decoupling of the Delta-Delta state
is shown for the theory without pions.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figures, uses harvma
