Group theoretical study of LOCC-detection of maximally entangled state using hypothesis testing
In the asymptotic setting, the optimal test for hypotheses testing of the
maximally entangled state is derived under several locality conditions for
measurements. The optimal test is obtained in several cases with the asymptotic
framework as well as the finite-sample framework. In addition, the experimental
scheme for the optimal test is presented
Adaptive experimental design for one-qubit state estimation with finite data based on a statistical update criterion
We consider 1-qubit mixed quantum state estimation by adaptively updating
measurements according to previously obtained outcomes and measurement
settings. Updates are determined by the average-variance-optimality
(A-optimality) criterion, known in the classical theory of experimental design
and applied here to quantum state estimation. In general, A-optimization is a
nonlinear minimization problem; however, we find an analytic solution for
1-qubit state estimation using projective measurements, reducing computational
effort. We compare numerically two adaptive and two nonadaptive schemes for
finite data sets and show that the A-optimality criterion gives more precise
estimates than standard quantum tomography.Comment: 15 pages, 7 figure
Asymptotic estimation theory for a finite dimensional pure state model
The optimization of measurement for n samples of pure sates are studied. The
error of the optimal measurement for n samples is asymptotically compared with
the one of the maximum likelihood estimators from n data given by the optimal
measurement for one sample.Comment: LaTeX, 23 pages, Doctoral Thesi
Formation of hydrogen peroxide and water from the reaction of cold hydrogen atoms with solid oxygen at 10K
The reactions of cold H atoms with solid O2 molecules were investigated at 10
K. The formation of H2O2 and H2O has been confirmed by in-situ infrared
spectroscopy. We found that the reaction proceeds very efficiently and obtained
the effective reaction rates. This is the first clear experimental evidence of
the formation of water molecules under conditions mimicking those found in cold
interstellar molecular clouds. Based on the experimental results, we discuss
the reaction mechanism and astrophysical implications.Comment: 12 pages, 3 Postscript figures, use package amsmath, amssymb,

Electron Beam Dynamics in the 50 MeV ThomX Compact Storage Ring
International audienceThomX is a high flux compact X-ray source based on Compton back scattering between a relativistic electron beam and an intense laser pulse. To increase the repetition rate, the electron beam is stored in a ring. The main drawback of such a scheme is the low energy of the electrons regarding collective effects and intrabeam scattering. These effects tend to enlarge or even disrupt the stored bunch and they limit its charge, especially in a system where damping plays a negligible role. Thus such collective effects reduce the maximum X-ray flux and it is important to investigate them to predict the performance of this type of X-ray source. In addition, the Compton back scattering acts on the electron beam by increasing its energy spread. This presentation will show firstly the impact of collective effects on the electron beam, essentially during the first turns when they are the most harmful. Then, the reduction of the X-ray flux due to Compton back scattering and intrabeam scattering will be investigated on a longer time scale
Gait Balance Disorder by Thalamic Infarction with the Disorder of Interstitial Nucleus of Cajal
The interstitial nucleus of Cajal (INC) is thought to play an important role in torsional/vertical eye position and head posture, and disorders of the INC induce abnormal ocular movements and head tilt. Our patients with ocular tilt reactions simultaneously also had disturbances in ambulatory balance, yet no reports address the loss of balance control induced by disorders of the INC. We examined the ambulatory disturbances induced by INC lesion. We experienced three patients with ocular movement disorders and abnormal head tilt due to thalamic infarction. We performed ophthalmic examinations on and checked the balance of them. With funduscopy, abnormal cycloduction was seen in the unaffected side and normal cycloduction was observed in the affected side. Nevertheless, Hess charts showed distortions in the visual image of both eyes. They all had disorders of balance control. We tried to treat them using the Bobath approach for improving their ambulatory balance. With subsequent improvements in balance control it was possible for them to take short walks, but it was difficult to make any improvements in their ocular movement. The INC is related to balance control of ambulation and disorders of the INC induce ambulatory disturbances. Cycloduction was only observed in the unaffected side, but Hess charts showed distortions of the visual image in both eyes. Ambulation was briefly improved, but diplopia persisted in these patients
Uncertainty Relation Revisited from Quantum Estimation Theory
By invoking quantum estimation theory we formulate bounds of errors in
quantum measurement for arbitrary quantum states and observables in a
finite-dimensional Hilbert space. We prove that the measurement errors of two
observables satisfy Heisenberg's uncertainty relation, find the attainable
bound, and provide a strategy to achieve it.Comment: manuscript including 4 pages and 2 figure
Graviton Propagators on Fuzzy G/H
We describe closed string modes by open Wilson lines in noncommutative (NC)
gauge theories on compact fuzzy G/H in IIB matrix model. In this construction
the world sheet cut-off is related to the spacetime cut-off since the string
bit of the symmetric traced Wilson line carries the minimum momentum on G/H. We
show that the two point correlation functions of graviton type Wilson lines in
4 dimensional NC gauge theories behave as 1/(momentum)^2. This result suggests
that graviton is localized on D3-brane, so we can naturally interpret D3-branes
as our universe. Our result is not limited to D3-brane system, and we
generalize our analysis to other dimensions and even to any topology of D-brane
worldvolume within fuzzy G/H.Comment: 22 pages, 1 figure. minor correction
