Entropy of (2+1)-dimensional de Sitter black hole to all orders in the Planck length

We calculate the statistical entropy of a scalar field on the background of (2+1)-dimensional de Sitter space without an artificial cutoff considering corrections to all orders in the Planck length from a generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) on the quantum state density. The desired entropy proportional to the horizon perimeter is obtained.Comment: 10 pages, two references adde

Reversing the Weak Quantum Measurement for a Photonic Qubit

We demonstrate the conditional reversal of a weak (partial-collapse) quantum measurement on a photonic qubit. The weak quantum measurement causes a nonunitary transformation of a qubit which is subsequently reversed to the original state after a successful reversing operation. Both the weak measurement and the reversal operation are implemented linear optically. The state recovery fidelity, determined by quantum process tomography, is shown to be over 94% for partial-collapse strength up to 0.9. We also experimentally study information gain due to the weak measurement and discuss the role of the reversing operation as an information erasure

Topological Massive Gauge Theories in Three Dimensions Based on the Faddeev-Jackiw Formalism

We quantize the (2+1)-dimensional self-dual and Maxwell-Chern-Simons theories by using the Faddeev-Jackiw formulation and compare the results with those of the Dirac formalism.Comment: 13 Pages, latex, no figure
