The liouville equation in L1 spaces
AbstractWe consider the first order equation ∂u∂t=a·▽u in the Banach lattice L1(RN). By requiring a minimal amount of Sobolev regularity on the vector-field α, we show that α·▿ generates a C0-group, thereby generalizing a result of [1]. From there, we conclude the well-posedness of Liouville equation ∂u∂t= -ξ·▽xu+▽xV·ξu, for a given potential V. The comparison between the general and force-free Liouville evolution yields the existence of the wave and scattering operators, which in turn are used to prove that the spectrum of the Liouville operator is purely residual in L1(R6)

Quantum Algorithm for Continuous Global Optimization
We investigate the entwined roles of information and quantum algorithms in reducing the complexity of the global optimization problem (GOP). We show that: (1) a modest amount of additional information is sufficient to map the general continuous GOP into the (discrete) Grover problem; (2) while this additional information is actually available in some classes of GOPs, it cannot be taken advantage of within classical optimization algorithms; (3) on the contrary, quantum algorithms over a natural framework for the efficient use of this information resulting in a speed-up of the solution of the GOP
Determination of hadronic partial widths for scalar-isoscalar resonances f0(980), f0(1300), f0(1500), f_0(1750) and the broad state f0(1530^{+90}_{-250})
In the article of V.V. Anisovich et al., Yad. Fiz. 63, 1489 (2000), the
K-matrix solutions for the wave IJ^{PC}=00^{++} were obtained in the mass
region 450 - 1900 MeV where four resonances f0(980), f0(1300), f0(1500),
f0(1750) and the broad state f0(1530^{+90}_{-250}) are located. Based on these
solutions, we determine partial widths for scalar-isoscalar states decaying
into the channels pi-pi, K-anti K, eta-eta, eta-eta', pi-pi-pi-pi and
corresponding decay couplings.Comment: Some typos were correcte
Sliding mode control of quantum systems
This paper proposes a new robust control method for quantum systems with
uncertainties involving sliding mode control (SMC). Sliding mode control is a
widely used approach in classical control theory and industrial applications.
We show that SMC is also a useful method for robust control of quantum systems.
In this paper, we define two specific classes of sliding modes (i.e.,
eigenstates and state subspaces) and propose two novel methods combining
unitary control and periodic projective measurements for the design of quantum
sliding mode control systems. Two examples including a two-level system and a
three-level system are presented to demonstrate the proposed SMC method. One of
main features of the proposed method is that the designed control laws can
guarantee desired control performance in the presence of uncertainties in the
system Hamiltonian. This sliding mode control approach provides a useful
control theoretic tool for robust quantum information processing with
uncertainties.Comment: 18 pages, 4 figure

Solving inverse problems of identification type by optimal control methods
Inverse problems of identification type for nonlinear equations are considered within the framework of optimal control theory. The rigorous solution of any particular problem depends on the functional setting, type of equation, and unknown quantity (or quantities) to be determined. Here the authors present only the general articulations of the formalism. Compared to classical regularization methods (e.g. Tikhonov coupled with optimization schemes), their approach presents several advantages, namely: (i) a systematic procedure to solve inverse problems of identification type; (ii) an explicit expression for the approximations of the solution; and (iii) a convenient numerical solution of these approximations
Targeting qubit states using open-loop control
We present an open-loop (bang-bang) scheme which drives an open two-level
quantum system to any target state, while maintaining quantum coherence
throughout the process. The control is illustrated by a realistic simulation
for both adiabatic and thermal decoherence. In the thermal decoherence regime,
the control achieved by the proposed scheme is qualitatively similar, at the
ensemble level, to the control realized by the quantum feedback scheme of Wang,
Wiseman, and Milburn [Phys. Rev. A 64, #063810 (2001)] for the spontaneous
emission of a two-level atom. The performance of the open-loop scheme compares
favorably against the quantum feedback scheme with respect to robustness,
target fidelity and transition times.Comment: 27 pages, 7 figure

Global optimization for multisensor fusion in seismic imaging
The accurate imaging of subsurface structures requires the fusion of data collected from large arrays of seismic sensors. The fusion process is formulated as an optimization problem and yields an extremely complex energy surface. Due to the very large number of local minima to be explored and escaped from, the seismic imaging problem has typically been tackled with stochastic optimization methods based on Monte Carlo techniques. Unfortunately, these algorithms are very cumbersome and computationally intensive. Here, the authors present TRUST--a novel deterministic algorithm for global optimization that they apply to seismic imaging. The excellent results demonstrate that TRUST may provide the necessary breakthrough to address major scientific and technological challenges in fields as diverse as seismic modeling, process optimization, and protein engineering

DeepNet: An Ultrafast Neural Learning Code for Seismic Imaging
A feed-forward multilayer neural net is trained to learn the correspondence between seismic data and well logs. The introduction of a virtual input layer, connected to the nominal input layer through a special nonlinear transfer function, enables ultrafast (single iteration), near-optimal training of the net using numerical algebraic techniques. A unique computer code, named DeepNet, has been developed, that has achieved, in actual field demonstrations, results unattainable to date with industry standard tools
New summing algorithm using ensemble computing
We propose an ensemble algorithm, which provides a new approach for
evaluating and summing up a set of function samples. The proposed algorithm is
not a quantum algorithm, insofar it does not involve quantum entanglement. The
query complexity of the algorithm depends only on the scaling of the
measurement sensitivity with the number of distinct spin sub-ensembles. From a
practical point of view, the proposed algorithm may result in an exponential
speedup, compared to known quantum and classical summing algorithms. However in
general, this advantage exists only if the total number of function samples is
below a threshold value which depends on the measurement sensitivity.Comment: 13 pages, 0 figures, VIth International Conference on Quantum

Pulse Control of Decoherence with Population Decay
The pulse control of decoherence in a qubit interacting with a quantum
environment is studied with focus on a general case where decoherence is
induced by both pure dephasing and population decay. To observe how the
decoherence is suppressed by periodic pi pulses, we present a simple method to
calculate the time evolution of a qubit under arbitrary pulse sequences
consisting of bit-flips and/or phase-flips. We examine the effectiveness of the
two typical sequences: bb sequence consisting of only bit-flips, and bp
sequence consisting of both bit- and phase-flips. It is shown that the
effectiveness of the pulse sequences depends on a relative strength of the two
decoherence processes especially when a pulse interval is slightly shorter than
qubit-environment correlation times. In the short-interval limit, however, the
bp sequence is always more effective than, or at least as effective as, the bb
sequence.Comment: 11 pages, 7 figure
