Conditions for free magnetic monopoles in nanoscale square arrays of dipolar spin ice
We study a modified frustrated dipolar array recently proposed by M\"{o}ller
and Moessner [Phys. Rev. Lett. \textbf{96}, 237202 (2006)], which is based on
an array manufactured lithographically by Wang \emph{et al.} [Nature (London)
\textbf{439}, 303 (2006)] and consists of introducing a height offset
between islands (dipoles) pointing along the two different lattice directions.
The ground-states and excitations are studied as a function of . We have
found, in qualitative agreement with the results of M\"{o}ller and Moessner,
that the ground-state changes for , where ( is the
lattice parameter or distance between islands). In addition, the excitations
above the ground-state behave like magnetic poles but confined by a string,
whose tension decreases as increases, in such a way that for
its value is around 20 times smaller than that for . The system exhibits
an anisotropy in the sense that the string tension and magnetic charge depends
significantly on the directions in which the monopoles are separated. In turn,
the intensity of the magnetic charge abruptly changes when the monopoles are
separated along the direction of the longest axis of the islands. Such a gap is
attributed to the transition from the anti to the ferromagnetic ground-state
when .Comment: 6 pages, 7 figures. Published versio
Vortex-Antivortex Lattice in Ultra-Cold Fermi Gases
We discuss ultra-cold Fermi gases in two dimensions, which could be realized
in a strongly confining one-dimensional optical lattice. We obtain the
temperature versus effective interaction phase diagram for an s-wave superfluid
and show that, below a certain critical temperature T_c, spontaneous
vortex-antivortex pairs appear for all coupling strengths. In addition, we show
that the evolution from weak to strong coupling is smooth, and that the system
forms a square vortex-antivortex lattice at a lower critical temperature T_M.Comment: Submitted to Physical Review Letter
Quantum Non-Demolition Test of Bipartite Complementarity
We present a quantum circuit that implements a non-demolition measurement of
complementary single- and bi-partite properties of a two-qubit system:
entanglement and single-partite visibility and predictability. The system must
be in a pure state with real coefficients in the computational basis, which
allows a direct operational interpretation of those properties. The circuit can
be realized in many systems of interest to quantum information.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
