Drag of superfluid current in bilayer Bose systems
An effect of nondissipative drag of a superfluid flow in a system of two Bose
gases confined in two parallel quasi two-dimensional traps is studied. Using an
approach based on introduction of density and phase operators we compute the
drag current at zero and finite temperatures for arbitrary ratio of densities
of the particles in the adjacent layers. We demonstrate that in a system of two
ring-shape traps the "drag force" influences on the drag trap in the same way
as an external magnetic flux influences on a superconducting ring. It allows to
use the drag effect to control persistent current states in superfluids and
opens a possibility for implementing a Bose analog of the superconducting
Josephson flux qubit.Comment: 12 pages, 2 figures, new section is added, refs are adde
An approach to NLO QCD analysis of the semi-inclusive DIS data with modified Jacobi polynomial expansion method
It is proposed the modification of the Jacobi polynomial expansion method
(MJEM) which is based on the application of the truncated moments instead of
the full ones. This allows to reconstruct with a high precision the local quark
helicity distributions even for the narrow accessible for measurement Bjorken
region using as an input only four first moments extracted from the data in
NLO QCD. It is also proposed the variational (extrapolation) procedure allowing
to reconstruct the distributions outside the accessible Bjorken region
using the distributions obtained with MJEM in the accessible region. The
numerical calculations encourage one that the proposed variational
(extrapolation) procedure could be applied to estimate the full first
(especially important) quark moments
Determining the effect of cadmium on embryogenesis in isolated administration and in combination with selenium and germanium citrates
Cadmium compounds found in biological systems form the ecological crisis of the planet. An urgent task for researchers is to determine the morphological changes that occur in the body under the action of cadmium compounds in both prenatal and postnatal ontogenesis. The article discusses the results of effect of intragastric administration of cadmium chloride/cadmium citrate in isolation and in combination with selenium and germanium citrates on embryogenesis of pregnant female rats. The aspect of the accumulation of cadmium salts in the liver of a 20-day-old embryo by polyelement analysis was also studied. The use of multielement analysis showed that the highest level of cadmium accumulation in the liver of embryos was found in the group of isolated administration of cadmium chloride. It has been proven that cadmium citrate accumulates in the liver to a lesser extent than cadmium chloride in the liver. The accumulation of cadmium chloride with selenium citrates, germanium in the groups of combined administration showed a decrease in the cadmium content in the liver of embryos. An analysis of the basic indicators of embryonic development of the experiment proved the embryotoxic effect of cadmium salts during enteral administration in modeling chronic cadmium intoxication, which is expressed in a decrease in the number of embryos in the litter and an increase in embryonic mortality in relation to the control group at all studied developmental periods. A decrease in embryonic mortality and an increase in the number of embryos at all stages of gestation in the experiment with the combined administration of cadmium salts with germanium citrate and selenium citrate indicates their antagonistic effect on cadmium embryotoxicity
Collective excitations of a two-dimensional interacting Bose gas in anti-trap and linear external potentials
We present a method of finding approximate analytical solutions for the
spectra and eigenvectors of collective modes in a two-dimensional system of
interacting bosons subjected to a linear external potential or the potential of
a special form , where is the chemical
potential. The eigenvalue problem is solved analytically for an artificial
model allowing the unbounded density of the particles. The spectra of
collective modes are calculated numerically for the stripe, the rare density
valley and the edge geometry and compared with the analytical results. It is
shown that the energies of the modes localized at the rare density region and
at the edge are well approximated by the analytical expressions. We discuss
Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC) in the systems under investigations at and find that in case of a finite number of the particles the regime of BEC
can be realized, whereas the condensate disappears in the thermodynamic limit.Comment: 10 pages, 2 figures include
Alternative fast quantum logic gates using nonadiabatic Landau-Zener-St\"{u}ckelberg-Majorana transitions
A conventional realization of quantum logic gates and control is based on
resonant Rabi oscillations of the occupation probability of the system. This
approach has certain limitations and complications, like counter-rotating
terms. We study an alternative paradigm for implementing quantum logic gates
based on Landau-Zener-St\"{u}ckelberg-Majorana (LZSM) interferometry with
non-resonant driving and the alternation of adiabatic evolution and
non-adiabatic transitions. Compared to Rabi oscillations, the main differences
are a non-resonant driving frequency and a small number of periods in the
external driving. We explore the dynamics of a multilevel quantum system under
LZSM drives and optimize the parameters for increasing single- and two-qubit
gates speed. We define the parameters of the external driving required for
implementing some specific gates using the adiabatic-impulse model. The LZSM
approach can be applied to a large variety of multi-level quantum systems and
external driving, providing a method for implementing quantum logic gates on
them.Comment: 15 pages, 12 figure
Free expansion of two-dimensional condensates with a vortex
We study the free expansion of a pancake-shaped Bose-condensed gas, which is
initially trapped under harmonic confinement and containing a vortex at its
centre. In the case of a radial expansion holding fixed the axial confinement
we consider various models for the interactions, depending on the thickness of
the condensate relative to the value of the scattering length. We are thus able
to evaluate different scattering regimes ranging from quasi-three-dimensional
(Q3D) to strictly two-dimensional (2D). We find that as the system goes from
Q3D to 2D the expansion rate of the condensate increases whereas that of the
vortex core decreases. In the Q3D scattering regime we also examine a fully
free expansion in 3D and find oscillatory behaviour for the vortex core radius:
an initial fast expansion of the vortex core is followed by a slowing down.
Such a nonuniform expansion rate of the vortex core may be taken into account
in designing new experiments.Comment: 10 pages, 4 figure
Phase-sensitive quantum effects in Andreev conductance of the SNS system of metals with macroscopic phase breaking length
The dissipative component of electron transport through the doubly connected
SNS Andreev interferometer indium (S)-aluminium (N)-indium (S) has been
studied. Within helium temperature range, the conductance of the individual
sections of the interferometer exhibits phase-sensitive oscillations of
quantum-interference nature. In the non-domain (normal) state of indium
narrowing adjacent to NS interface, the nonresonance oscillations have been
observed, with the period inversely proportional to the area of the
interferometer orifice. In the domain intermediate state of the narrowing, the
magneto-temperature resistive oscillations appeared, with the period determined
by the coherence length in the magnetic field equal to the critical one. The
oscillating component of resonance form has been observed in the conductance of
the macroscopic N-aluminium part of the system. The phase of the oscillations
appears to be shifted by compared to that of nonresonance oscillations.
We offer an explanation in terms of the contribution into Josephson current
from the coherent quasiparticles with energies of order of the Thouless energy.
The behavior of dissipative transport with temperature has been studied in a
clean normal metal in the vicinity of a single point NS contact.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, to be published in Low Temp. Phys., v. 29, No.
