New transformation of Wigner operator in phase space quantum mechanics for the two-mode entangled case

As a natural extension of Fan's paper (arXiv: 0903.1769vl [quant-ph]) by employing the formula of operators' Weyl ordering expansion and the bipartite entangled state representation we find new two-fold complex integration transformation about the Wigner operator (in its entangled form) in phase space quantum mechanics and its inverse transformation. In this way, some operator ordering problems can be solved and the contents of phase space quantum mechanics can be enriched.Comment: 8 pages, 0 figure

Singlet and Triplet Superfluid Competition in a Mixture of Two-Component Fermi and One-Component Dipolar Bose Gases

We consider a mixture of two-component Fermi and (one-component) dipolar Bose gases in which both dipolar interaction and s-wave scattering between fermions of opposite spins are tunable. We show that in the long wavelength limit, the anisotropy in the Fermi-Fermi interaction induced by phonons of the dipolar condensate can strongly enhance the scattering in the triplet channel. We investigate in detail the conditions for achieving optimal critical temperature at which the triplet superfluid begins to compete with the singlet superfluid.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figure

Comment on "Single-mode excited entangled coherent states"

In Xu and Kuang (\textit{J. Phys. A: Math. Gen.} 39 (2006) L191), the authors claim that, for single-mode excited entangled coherent states $| \Psi_{\pm}(\alpha,m)>$, \textquotedblleft the photon excitations lead to the decrease of the concurrence in the strong field regime of $| \alpha | ^{2}$ and the concurrence tends to zero when $| \alpha | ^{2}\to \infty$". This is wrong.Comment: 4 apges, 2 figures, submitted to JPA 15 April 200

Gait Verification using Knee Acceleration Signals

A novel gait recognition method for biometric applications is proposed. The approach has the following distinct features. First, gait patterns are determined via knee acceleration signals, circumventing difficulties associated with conventional vision-based gait recognition methods. Second, an automatic procedure to extract gait features from acceleration signals is developed that employs a multiple-template classification method. Consequently, the proposed approach can adjust the sensitivity and specificity of the gait recognition system with great flexibility. Experimental results from 35 subjects demonstrate the potential of the approach for successful recognition. By setting sensitivity to be 0.95 and 0.90, the resulting specificity ranges from 1 to 0.783 and 1.00 to 0.945, respectively

INFLUENCE OF SHOE MIDSOLE MATERIAL HARDNESS ON PERCEIVED COMFORT, REARFOOT MOTION, AND PLANTAR PRESSURE

The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of different midsole hardness on perceived comfort, rearfoot motion, and plantar pressure. Fifteen injury-free male amateur runners participated in this study. Rearfoot motion, plantar pressure, and perceived comfort were recorded while running. Smaller rearfoot maximal pronation, lower comfort scale, and greater maximum force and peak pressure of the lateral side were found in the harder shoe. In the harder midsole shoe, greater force and pressure were found in the lateral side of the midfoot and the forefoot, which may be attributed to a smaller pronation

Wigner functions of thermo number state, photon subtracted and added thermo vacuum state at finite temperature

Based on Takahashi-Umezawa thermo field dynamics and the order-invariance of Weyl ordered operators under similar transformations, we present a new approach to deriving the exact Wigner functions of thermo number state, photon subtracted and added thermo vacuum state. We find that these Wigner functions are related to the Gaussian-Laguerre type functions of temperature, whose statistical properties are then analysed.Comment: 10 pages and 2 figure
