Entanglement Generation in the Scattering of One-Dimensional Particles
This article provides a convenient framework for quantitative evaluation of
the entanglement generated when two structureless, distinguishable particles
scatter non-relativistically in one dimension. It explores how three factors
determine the amount of entanglement generated: the momentum distributions of
the incoming particles, their masses, and the interaction potential. Two
important scales emerge, one set by the kinematics and one set by the dynamics.
This method also provides two approximate analytic formulas useful for
numerical evaluation of entanglement and reveals an interesting connection
between purity, linear coordinate transformations, and momentum uncertainties.Comment: 11 pages, submitted to PR
A new type of solution of the Schr\"odinger equation on a self-similar fractal potential
Scattering a quantum particle by a self-similar fractal potential on a Cantor
set is investigated. We present a new type of solution of the functional
equation for the transfer matrix of this potential, which was derived earlier
from the Schr\"odinger equation.Comment: Latex, 4 pages, 7 eps-figures; the old figures are renewed and new

Spectral variability of planetary nebulae and related objects
The results of long-term spectral observations were used to search for
changes in planetary nebulae and emission-line stars. Significant increase of
excitation degree is found in two objects: M1-6 and M1-11
Arnold Tongues and Feigenbaum Exponents of the Rational Mapping for Q-state Potts Model on Recursive Lattice: Q<2
We considered Q-state Potts model on Bethe lattice in presence of external
magnetic field for Q<2 by means of recursion relation technique. This allows to
study the phase transition mechanism in terms of the obtained one dimensional
rational mapping. The convergence of Feigenabaum and
exponents for the aforementioned mapping is investigated for the period
doubling and three cyclic window. We regarded the Lyapunov exponent as an order
parameter for the characterization of the model and discussed its dependence on
temperature and magnetic field. Arnold tongues analogs with winding numbers
w=1/2, w=2/4 and w=1/3 (in the three cyclic window) are constructed for Q<2.
The critical temperatures of the model are discussed and their dependence on Q
is investigated. We also proposed an approximate method for constructing Arnold
tongues via Feigenbaum exponent.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figure
An unexpected complication of a percutaneous coronary angioplasty
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is characterized by transient ventricular dysfunction, classically in its apical and mid segments in the absence of coronary lesions, and is often observed after intense stressful events and occasionally associated to an acute medical illness. We describe a case of TCM associated with coronary artery disease and triggered by a percutaneous coronary angioplasty. This case highlights the concept that a medical procedure can lead, in certain conditions, to TCM and provides new interesting insights on the pathophysiology of coronary syndromes
