The Precise Formula in a Sine Function Form of the norm of the Amplitude and the Necessary and Sufficient Phase Condition for Any Quantum Algorithm with Arbitrary Phase Rotations
In this paper we derived the precise formula in a sine function form of the
norm of the amplitude in the desired state, and by means of he precise formula
we presented the necessary and sufficient phase condition for any quantum
algorithm with arbitrary phase rotations. We also showed that the phase
condition: identical rotation angles, is a sufficient but not a necessary phase
condition.Comment: 16 pages. Modified some English sentences and some proofs. Removed a

Theory of the vortex matter transformations in high Tc superconductor YBCO
Flux line lattice in type II superconductors undergoes a transition into a
"disordered" phase like vortex liquid or vortex glass, due to thermal
fluctuations and random quenched disorder. We quantitatively describe the
competition between the thermal fluctuations and the disorder using the
Ginzburg -- Landau approach. The following T-H phase diagram of YBCO emerges.
There are just two distinct thermodynamical phases, the homogeneous and the
crystalline one, separated by a single first order transitions line. The line
however makes a wiggle near the experimentally claimed critical point at 12T.
The "critical point" is reinterpreted as a (noncritical) Kauzmann point in
which the latent heat vanishes and the line is parallel to the T axis. The
magnetization, the entropy and the specific heat discontinuities at melting
compare well with experiments.Comment: 4 pages 3 figure
Equivariant wave maps exterior to a ball
We consider the exterior Cauchy-Dirichlet problem for equivariant wave maps
from 3+1 dimensional Minkowski spacetime into the three-sphere. Using mixed
analytical and numerical methods we show that, for a given topological degree
of the map, all solutions starting from smooth finite energy initial data
converge to the unique static solution (harmonic map). The asymptotics of this
relaxation process is described in detail. We hope that our model will provide
an attractive mathematical setting for gaining insight into
dissipation-by-dispersion phenomena, in particular the soliton resolution
conjecture.Comment: 16 pages, 9 figure
Analytical models for quark stars
We find two new classes of exact solutions to the Einstein-Maxwell system of
equations. The matter content satisfies a linear equation of state consistent
with quark matter; a particular form of one of the gravitational potentials is
specified to generate solutions. The exact solutions can be written in terms of
elementary functions, and these can be related to quark matter in the presence
of an electromagnetic field. The first class of solutions generalises the Mak
and Harko model. The second class of solutions does not admit any singularities
in the matter and gravitational potentials at the centre.Comment: 10 pages, To appear in Int. J. Mod. Phys.
Generalized Dynamic Scaling for Critical Relaxations
The dynamic relaxation process for the two dimensional Potts model at
criticality starting from an initial state with very high temperature and
arbitrary magnetization is investigated with Monte Carlo methods. The results
show that there exists universal scaling behaviour even in the short-time
regime of the dynamic evolution. In order to describe the dependence of the
scaling behaviour on the initial magnetization, a critical characteristic
function is introduced.Comment: Latex, 8 pages, 3 figures, to appear in Phys. Rev. Let
On the efficiency of estimating penetrating rank on large graphs
P-Rank (Penetrating Rank) has been suggested as a useful measure of structural similarity that takes account of both incoming and outgoing edges in ubiquitous networks. Existing work often utilizes memoization to compute P-Rank similarity in an iterative fashion, which requires cubic time in the worst case. Besides, previous methods mainly focus on the deterministic computation of P-Rank, but lack the probabilistic framework that scales well for large graphs. In this paper, we propose two efficient algorithms for computing P-Rank on large graphs. The first observation is that a large body of objects in a real graph usually share similar neighborhood structures. By merging such objects with an explicit low-rank factorization, we devise a deterministic algorithm to compute P-Rank in quadratic time. The second observation is that by converting the iterative form of P-Rank into a matrix power series form, we can leverage the random sampling approach to probabilistically compute P-Rank in linear time with provable accuracy guarantees. The empirical results on both real and synthetic datasets show that our approaches achieve high time efficiency with controlled error and outperform the baseline algorithms by at least one order of magnitude
Observation of Magnetic Supercooling of the Transition to the Vortex State
We demonstrate that the transition from the high-field state to the vortex
state in a nanomagnetic disk shows the magnetic equivalent of supercooling.
This is evidence that this magnetic transition can be described in terms of a
modified Landau first-order phase transition. To accomplish this we have
measured the bulk magnetization of single magnetic disks using nanomechanical
torsional resonator torque magnetometry. This allows observation of single
vortex creation events without averaging over an array of disks or over
multiple runs.Comment: 11 pages preprint, 4 figures, accepted to New Journal of Physic
