Randomness is valid at large numbers
Randomness is a central concept to statistics and physics. Here, a
statistical analysis shows experimental evidence that tossing coins and finding
last digits of prime numbers are identical regarding statistics for equally
likely outcomes. This analysis explains why randomness in equally likely
outcomes can be valid only at large numbers.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Entanglement of thermal scalar fields in a compact space space
Using the thermal Green's function approach we propose a general method to
investigate entanglement of the vacuum state or thermal ground states in an
arbitrary dimensional space-time. As an application we show quantum
separability of the massive thermal scalar field vacuum in the 1+1 dimensional
cylindrical space-time. Separability is demonstrated using the positive partial
transpose criterion for effective two-mode Gaussian states of collective
operators. In this case, for all mass and temperature values entanglement is
absent between the collective operators.Comment: title change
Deciding whether a quantum state has secret correlations is an NP-complete problem
From the NP-hardness of the quantum separability problem and the relation
between bipartite entanglement and the secret key correlations, it is shown
that the problem deciding whether a given quantum state has secret correlations
in it or not is in NP-complete.Comment: 3 pages, revtex, no fig, typos correcte
Physical aging in article page views
Statistics of article page views is useful for measuring the impact of
individual articles. Analyzing the temporal evolution of article page views, we
find that article page views usually decay over time after reaching a peak,
especially exhibiting relaxation with nonexponentiality. This finding suggests
that relaxation in article page views resembles physical aging as frequently
found in complex systems.Comment: 3 pages with 1 figur
The M-sigma Relation of Super Massive Black Holes from the Scalar Field Dark Matter
We explain the M-sigma relation between the mass of super massive black holes
in galaxies and the velocity dispersions of their bulges in the scalar field or
the Bose-Einstein condensate dark matter model. The gravity of the central
black holes changes boundary conditions of the scalar field at the galactic
centers. Owing to the wave nature of the dark matter this significantly changes
the galactic halo profiles even though the black holes are much lighter than
the bulges. As a result the heavier the black holes are, the more compact the
bulges are, and hence the larger the velocity dispersions are. This tendency is
verified by a numerical study. The M-sigma relation is well reproduced with the
dark matter particle mass
Dark energy from vacuum entanglement
We suggest that vacuum entanglement energy associated with the entanglement
entropy of the universe is the origin of dark energy.
The observed properties of dark energy can be explained by using the nature
of entanglement energy without modification of gravity or exotic matter. From
the number of degrees of freedom in the standard model, we obtain the equation
of state parameter and for the
holographic dark energy, which are consistent with current observational data
at the 95% confidence level.Comment: to be published in JCA
Holographic Dark Energy and Quantum Entanglement
In this paper, we briefly review the holographic dark energy model and
introduce the idea that dark energy is a kind of thermal energy related to the
quantum entanglement of the vacuum across a cosmic future event horizon. The
holographic dark energy model comes from a theoretical attempt to apply the
holographic principle to the dark energy problem and follows the idea that the
short distance cut-off or ultraviolet (UV) cut-off is related to the long
distance cut-off or infrared (IR) cut-off. The IR cut-off relevant to dark
energy is the size of the future event horizon. This model gives a holographic
dark energy comparable to the observational data. Though this model is in good
agreement with observational data, some problems (non-locality, circular logic,
causality problem, ) exist due to the use of the future event horizon
as a present IR cut-off. These problems of the holographic dark energy model
are considerably resolved using action principle and equations of motion.
Finally, we discuss the relation between quantum entanglement and dark energy
which is connected to the more fundamental relation between entanglement and
gravity.Comment: to be published in JKP
Radial Acceleration Relation from Ultra-light Scalar Dark matter
We show that ultra-light scalar dark matter (fuzzy dark matter) in galaxies
has a quantum mechanical typical acceleration scale about
10^{-10}\,\mbox{ms}^{-2}, which leads to the baryonic Tully-Fisher relation.
Baryonic matter at central parts of galaxies acts as a boundary condition for
dark matter wave equation and influences stellar rotation velocities in halos.
Without any modification of gravity or mechanics this model also explains the
radial acceleration relation and MOND-like behavior of gravitational
acceleration found in galaxies having flat rotation curves. This analysis can
be extended to the Faber-Jackson relation
Qubit geometry and conformal mapping
Identifying the Bolch sphere with the Riemann sphere(the extended complex
plane), we obtain relations between single qubit unitary operations and
M\"{o}bius transformations on the extended complex plane.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure, revtex, title changed, minor modification
Quantum Shift Register
We consider a quantum circuit in which shift and rotation operations on
qubits are performed by swap gates and controlled swap gates. These operations
can be useful for quantum computers performing elementary arithmetic operations
such as multiplication and a bit-wise comparison of qubits.Comment: 3 pages, 4 figures, revte
