Quantum parallelism of the controlled-NOT operation: an experimental criterion for the evaluation of device performance
It is shown that a quantum controlled-NOT gate simultaneously performs the
logical functions of three distinct conditional local operations. Each of these
local operations can be verified by measuring a corresponding truth table of
four local inputs and four local outputs. The quantum parallelism of the gate
can then be observed directly in a set of three simple experimental tests, each
of which has a clear intuitive interpretation in terms of classical logical
operations. Specifically, quantum parallelism is achieved if the average
fidelity of the three classical operations exceeds 2/3. It is thus possible to
evaluate the essential quantum parallelism of an experimental controlled-NOT
gate by testing only three characteristic classical operations performed by the
gate.Comment: 6 pages, no figures, added references and discussio
Investigating the tetraquark structure of the new mesons
Using the QCD sum rule approach we investigate the possible four-quark
structure of the recently observed mesons , firstly observed
by BaBaR, X(3872), firstly observed by BELLE and observed by
BELLE. We use diquark-antidiquark currents and work in full QCD, without
relying on expansion. Our results indicate that a four-quark structure
is acceptable for these mesons.Comment: 4 pages 1 eps figure, proceedings of the XVIII Workshop on Hadronic

Meson Cloud and SU(3) Symmetry Breaking in Parton Distributions
We apply the Meson Cloud Model to the calculation of nonsinglet parton
distributions in the nucleon sea, including the octet and the decuplet cloud
baryon contributions. We give special attention to the differences between
nonstrange and strange sea quarks, trying to identify possible sources of SU(3)
flavor breaking. A analysis in terms of the parameter is presented,
and we find that the existing SU(3) flavor asymmetry in the nucleon sea can be
quantitatively explained by the meson cloud. We also consider the
baryon, finding similar conclusions.Comment: 17 pages, LaTeX, 8 figures in .ps file
Analysis of an experimental quantum logic gate by complementary classical operations
Quantum logic gates can perform calculations much more efficiently than their
classical counterparts. However, the level of control needed to obtain a
reliable quantum operation is correspondingly higher. In order to evaluate the
performance of experimental quantum gates, it is therefore necessary to
identify the essential features that indicate quantum coherent operation. In
this paper, we show that an efficient characterization of an experimental
device can be obtained by investigating the classical logic operations on a
pair of complementary basis sets. It is then possible to obtain reliable
predictions about the quantum coherent operations of the gate such as
entanglement generation and Bell state discrimination even without performing
these operations directly.Comment: 14 pages, 1 figure, 3 tables, Brief Review for Modern Physics Letters

Hadronic form factors and the secondary production cross section: an update
Improving previous calculations, we compute the cross section using the most complete effective lagrangians available. The
new crucial ingredients are the form factors on the charm meson vertices, which
are determined from QCD sum rules calculations. Some of them became available
only very recently and the last one, needed for our present purpose, is
calculated in this work.Comment: 12 pages, 9 eps figure
Does the production asymmetry decrease at large ?
We have applied the meson cloud model (MCM) to calculate the asymmetries in
and meson production in high energy -nucleus and
-nucleus collisions. We find a good agreement with recent data. Our
results suggest that the asymmetries may decrease at large .Comment: revised version with new figures and added references to appear in

Looking for meson molecules in B decays
We discuss the possibility of observing a loosely bound molecular state in a
B three-body hadronic decay. In particular we use the QCD sum rule approach to
study a molecular current. We consider an isovector-scalar
molecular current and we use the two-point and
three-point functions to study the mass and decay width of such state. We
consider the contributions of condensates up to dimension six and we work at
leading order in . We obtain a mass around 1.1 GeV, consistent with a
loosely bound state, and a decay width
around 10 MeV.Comment: 7 pages, 8 figure
