Transfer Learning-Based Received Power Prediction with Ray-tracing Simulation and Small Amount of Measurement Data

This paper proposes a method to predict received power in urban area deterministically, which can learn a prediction model from small amount of measurement data by a simulation-aided transfer learning and data augmentation. Recent development in machine learning such as artificial neural network (ANN) enables us to predict radio propagation and path loss accurately. However, training a high-performance ANN model requires a significant number of data, which are difficult to obtain in real environments. The main motivation for this work was to facilitate accurate prediction using small amount of measurement data. To this end, we propose a transfer learning-based prediction method with data augmentation. The proposed method pre-trains a prediction model using data generated from ray-tracing simulations, increases the number of data using simulation-assisted data augmentation, and then fine-tunes a model using the augmented data to fit the target environment. Experiments using Wi-Fi devices were conducted, and the results demonstrate that the proposed method predicts received power with 50% (or less) of the RMS error of conventional methods

Systematic Study of Identified Particle Production in PHENIX

Large enhancement of (anti)protons relative to pions has been observed at intermediate pT $\sim$ 2-5 GeV/c in central Au+Au collisions at RHIC. To investigate the possible source of this baryon enhancement, we performed a systematic study of identified hadron spectra in Au+Au and Cu+Cu collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 200 GeV, and Au+Au collisions at sqrt(s_NN) = 62.4 GeV. The data set allows us to study the energy dependence and system size dependence of the baryon enhancement. We also compare the nuclear modification factors on hadron production in two different collision systems.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures.

Wakefield Acceleration by Radiation Pressure in Relativistic Shock Waves

A particle acceleration mechanism by radiation pressure of precursor waves in a relativistic shock is studied. For a relativistic, perpendicular shock with the upstream bulk Lorentz factor of $\gamma_1 \gg 1$, large amplitude electromagnetic (light) waves are known to be excited in the shock front due to the synchrotron maser instability, and those waves can propagate towards upstream as precursor waves. We find that non-thermal, high energy electrons and ions can be quickly produced by an action of electrostatic wakefields generated by the ponderomotive force of the precursor waves. The particles can be quickly accelerated up to $\epsilon_{\rm max}/\gamma_1 m_e c^2 \sim \gamma_1$ in the upstream coherent wakefield region, and they can be further accelerated during the nonlinear stage of the wakefield evolution. The maximum attainable energy is estimated by $\epsilon_{\rm max}/\gamma_1 m_e c^2 \sim L_{\rm sys}/(c/\omega_{pe})$, where $L_{\rm sys}$ and $c/\omega_{pe}$ are the size of an astrophysical object and the electron inertial length, respectively.Comment: Accepted in ApJ (5 Sept 2007

EPR measurement and the origin of cosmic density fluctuations

We explore consistent application of quantum mechanics to the objects in the Universe and in laboratories. The measurement dynamics in quantum mechanics is modeled as a physical process of spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB) which is described by the generalized effective action method. A violation of the Bell inequality is observed in this model and the generation of the density fluctuations in the early Universe is described as the SSB process of the spatially translational symmetry.Comment: 5 page

Infrared Divergence Separated for Stochastic Force - Langevin Evolution in the Inflationary Era

Inflation in the early Universe is a grand phase transition which have produced the seeds of all the structures we now observe. We focus on the non-equilibrium aspect of this phase transition especially the inevitable infrared (IR) divergence associated to the the quantum and classical fields during the inflation. There is a long history of research for removing this IR divergence for healthy perturbation calculations. On the other hand, the same IR divergence is quite relevant and have developed the primordial density fluctuations in the early Universe. We develop a unified formalism in which the IR divergence is clearly separated from the microscopic quantum field theory but only appear in the statistical classical structure. We derive the classical Langevin equation for the order parameter within the quantum field theory through the instability of the de Sitter vacuum during the inflation. This separation process is relevant in general to develop macroscopic structures and to derive the basic properties of statistical mechanics in the quantum field theory.Comment: 8 page

An Intuitionistic Set-theoretical Model of the Extended Calculus of Constructions

Werner's set-theoretical model is one of the most intuitive models of ECC. It combines a functional view of predicative universes with a collapsed view of the impredicative sort Prop. However this model of Prop is so coarse that the principle of excluded middle holds. In this paper, we interpret Prop into a topological space (a special case of Heyting algebra) to make it more intuitionistic without sacrificing simplicity. We prove soundness and show some applications of our model

Angular Momentum Transport and Particle Acceleration during Magnetorotational Instability in a Kinetic Accretion Disk

Angular momentum transport and particle acceleration during the magnetorotational instability (MRI) in a collisionless accretion disk are investigated using three-dimensional particle-in-cell (PIC) simulation. We show that the kinetic MRI can provide not only high energy particle acceleration but also enhancement of angular momentum transport. We find that the plasma pressure anisotropy inside the channel flow with $p_{\|} > p_{\perp}$ induced by active magnetic reconnection suppresses the onset of subsequent reconnection, which in turn leads to high magnetic field saturation and enhancement of Maxwell stress tensor of angular momentum transport. Meanwhile, during the quiescent stage of reconnection the plasma isotropization progresses in the channel flow, and the anisotropic plasma with $p_{\perp} > p_{\|}$ due to the dynamo action of MRI outside the channel flow contributes to rapid reconnection and strong particle acceleration. This efficient particle acceleration and enhanced angular momentum transport in a collisionless accretion disk may explain the origin of high energy particles observed around massive black holes.Comment: 11 pages, 4 figures; Physical Reveiw Letters (2015

Transient Dynamics from Quantum to Classical- From the Developed Coherent State via Extreme Squeezing -

We explore the transient dynamics associated with the emergence of the classical signal in the full quantum system. We start our study from the instability which promotes the squeezing of the quantum system. This is often interpreted as the particle production though being reversible in time. We associate this state a non-dissipative classical fluctuations and study their trigger to develop the coherent state which can be classical if sufficiently developed. The Schwinger-Keldysh in-in formalism yields the classical Langevin equation including the fluctuation force which faithfully reflects the particle production property of the original quantum system. This formalism is applied to some transient process; the initiation of the spontaneous symmetry breaking, appearance of the off-diagonal long-range order in Bose-Einstein condensation, a transient process of the classicalization of the quantum fluctuations in the inflationary cosmology,... and gives some implications on the origin of the irreversibility associated with the transition from quantum to classical.Comment: 19 page

Quantum Feedback Control for Deterministic Entangled Photon Generation

We present quantum feedback control for deterministic entanglement generation at the single-photon level. The protocol of controlling both total photon number and phase difference is based on the cascade structure of cavities placed in an optical closed loop, quantum nondemolition measurement with cross-Kerr interactions, and Lyapunov stability for feedback design

A parametrized generalization of Ohno's relation for multiple zeta values

In this paper, we prove that certain parametrized multiple series which generalize multiple zeta values satisfy the same relation as Ohno's relation for multiple zeta values. This is a parametrized generalization of Ohno's relation for multiple zeta values. By virtue of this generalization, we obtain a certain equivalence between the relation for the parametrized multiple series and its subfamily. As applications of the above results, we obtain some results for multiple zeta values.Comment: The contents of this version are completely the same as those of the paper submitted to the Journal of Number Theory on June 26, 200
