Erratum: QCD sum rules study of the charmonium mesons
We correct a mistake in the analytical expression given in
Nucl. Phys. {\bf A} 815, 53 (2009) [arXiv:0804.4817] for the
and molecular currents. As a consequence,
the mass obtained for the molecular current:
GeV is no longer compatible with the
experimental mass of the meson Y(4260).Comment: 1 pag
A model for - kaon cross section
We calculate the cross section for the dissociation of by kaons
within the framework of a meson exchange model. We find that, depending on the
values of the coupling constants used, the cross section can vary from 5 mb to
30 mb at GeV.Comment: 4 pages, 3 eps figure
Production of the Y(4260) State in B Meson Decay
We calculate the branching ratio for the production of the meson in
the decay . We use QCD sum rules approach and we consider
the to be a mixture between charmonium and exotic tetraquark,
, states with . Using the value of the
mixing angle determined previously as: , we get the
branching ratio , which
allows us to estimate an interval on the branching fraction in agreement with the experimental
upper limit reported by Babar Collaboration.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, 1 table. arXiv admin note: text overlap with

Distillation of local purity from quantum states
Recently Horodecki et al. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 90, 100402 (2003)] introduced an
important quantum information processing paradigm, in which two parties sharing
many copies of the same bipartite quantum state distill local pure states, by
means of local unitary operations assisted by a one-way (two-way) completely
dephasing channel. Local pure states are a valuable resource from a
thermodynamical point of view, since they allow thermal energy to be converted
into work by local quantum heat engines. We give a simple
information-theoretical characterization of the one-way distillable local
purity, which turns out to be closely related to a previously known operational
measure of classical correlations, the one-way distillable common randomness.Comment: 8 page
Frustration, interaction strength and ground-state entanglement in complex quantum systems
Entanglement in the ground state of a many-body quantum system may arise when
the local terms in the system Hamiltonian fail to commute with the interaction
terms in the Hamiltonian. We quantify this phenomenon, demonstrating an analogy
between ground-state entanglement and the phenomenon of frustration in spin
systems. In particular, we prove that the amount of ground-state entanglement
is bounded above by a measure of the extent to which interactions frustrate the
local terms in the Hamiltonian. As a corollary, we show that the amount of
ground-state entanglement is bounded above by a ratio between parameters
characterizing the strength of interactions in the system, and the local energy
scale. Finally, we prove a qualitatively similar result for other energy
eigenstates of the system.Comment: 11 pages, 3 figure
Y(4260) as a mixed charmonium-tetraquark state
Using the QCD sum rule approach we study the Y(4260) state assuming that it
can be described by a mixed charmonium-tetraquark current with
quantum numbers. For the mixing angle around , we obtain a value for the mass which is in good agreement with the
experimental mass of the Y(4260). However, for the decay width we find the
value \Ga_Y \approx (1.0\pm 0.2) MeV which is not compatible with the
experimental value \Ga \approx (88\pm 23) MeV. Therefore, we conclude that,
although we can explain the mass of the Y(4260), this state cannot be described
as a mixed charmonium-tetraquark state since, with this assumption, we can not
explain its decay width.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure
Duality of privacy amplification against quantum adversaries and data compression with quantum side information
We show that the tasks of privacy amplification against quantum adversaries
and data compression with quantum side information are dual in the sense that
the ability to perform one implies the ability to perform the other. These are
two of the most important primitives in classical information theory, and are
shown to be connected by complementarity and the uncertainty principle in the
quantum setting. Applications include a new uncertainty principle formulated in
terms of smooth min- and max-entropies, as well as new conditions for
approximate quantum error correction.Comment: v2: Includes a derivation of an entropic uncertainty principle for
smooth min- and max-entropies. Discussion of the
