Dynamics of Quantum Coherence and Quantum Fisher Information After Sudden Quench

The dynamics of relative entropy and $l_{1}$-norm of coherence, as well as, the Wigner-Yanase-skew and quantum Fisher information are studied for a time-dependent coupled XY spin chain in presence of a time-dependent transverse magnetic field. Independent of the initial state of the system and while the relative entropy of coherence, $l_{1}$-norm of coherence, and quantum Fisher information are incapable, surprisingly, the dynamic Wigner-Yanase-skew information can truly spotlight the equilibrium critical point. We also observe that when the system is quenched to the critical point, these quantities show suppressions and revivals. Moreover, the first suppression (revival) time scales linearly with the system size and its scaling ratio is unique for all quenches independent to the initial phase. This is the promised universality of the first suppression (revival) time.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figures; to appear in Phys. Rev.

Some Quantitative Characterizations of Certain Symplectic Groups

Given a finite group $G$, denote by ${\rm D}(G)$ the degree pattern of $G$ and by ${\rm OC}(G)$ the set of all order components of $G$. Denote by $h_{{\rm OD}}(G)$ (resp. $h_{{\rm OC}}(G)$) the number of isomorphism classes of finite groups $H$ satisfying conditions $|H|=|G|$ and ${\rm D}(H)={\rm D}(G)$ (resp. ${\rm OC}(H)={\rm OC}(G)$). A finite group $G$ is called OD-characterizable (resp. OC-characterizable) if $h_{\rm OD}(G)=1$ (resp. $h_{\rm OC}(G)=1$). Let $C=C_p(2)$ be a symplectic group over binary field, for which $2^p-1>7$ is a Mersenne prime. The aim of this article is to prove that $h_{\rm OD}(C)=1=h_{\rm OC}(C)$

Disordered Kitaev chain with long-range pairing: Loschmidt echo revivals and dynamical phase transitions

We explore the dynamics of long-range Kitaev chain by varying pairing interaction exponent, $\alpha$. It is well known that distinctive characteristics on the nonequilibrium dynamics of a closed quantum system are closely related to the equilibrium phase transitions. Specifically, the return probability of the system to its initial state (Loschmidt echo), in the finite size system, is expected to exhibit very nice periodicity after a sudden quench to a quantum critical point. Where the periodicity of the revivals scales inversely with the maximum of the group velocity. We show that, contrary to expectations, the periodicity of the return probability breaks for a sudden quench to the non-trivial quantum critical point. Further, We find that, the periodicity of return probability scales inversely with the group velocity at the gap closing point for a quench to the trivial critical point of truly long-range pairing case, $\alpha < 1$. In addition, analyzing the effect of averaging quenched disorder shows that the revivals in the short range pairing cases are more robust against disorder than that of the long rang pairing case. We also study the effect of disorder on the non-analyticities of rate function of the return probability which introduced as a witness of the dynamical phase transition. We exhibit that, the non-analyticities in the rate function of return probability are washed out in the presence of strong disorders.Comment: 13+ pages, 8 figures, new results adde

On the Unit Graph of a Noncommutative Ring

Let $R$ be a ring (not necessary commutative) with non-zero identity. The unit graph of $R$, denoted by $G(R)$, is a graph with elements of $R$ as its vertices and two distinct vertices $a$ and $b$ are adjacent if and only if $a+b$ is a unit element of $R$. It was proved that if $R$ is a commutative ring and \fm is a maximal ideal of $R$ such that |R/\fm|=2, then $G(R)$ is a complete bipartite graph if and only if (R, \fm) is a local ring. In this paper we generalize this result by showing that if $R$ is a ring (not necessary commutative), then $G(R)$ is a complete $r$-partite graph if and only if (R, \fm) is a local ring and $r=|R/m|=2^n$, for some $n \in \N$ or $R$ is a finite field. Among other results we show that if $R$ is a left Artinian ring, $2 \in U(R)$ and the clique number of $G(R)$ is finite, then $R$ is a finite ring.Comment: 6 pages. To appear in Algebra Colloquiu

Quasiparticle interference in iron-based superconductors

We systematically calculate quasiparticle interference (QPI) signatures for the whole phase diagram of iron-based superconductors. Impurities inherent in the sample together with ordered phases lead to distinct features in the QPI images that are believed to be measured in spectroscopic imaging-scanning tunneling microscopy (SI-STM). In the spin-density wave phase the rotational symmetry of the electronic structure is broken, signatures of which are also seen in the coexistence regime with both superconducting and magnetic order. In the superconducting regime we show how the different scattering behavior for magnetic and non-magnetic impurities allows to verify the $s^{+-}$ symmetry of the order parameter. The effect of possible gap minima or nodes is discussed.Comment: 19 pages, 7 figure

Average energy efficiency contours with multiple decoding policies

This letter addresses energy-efficient design in multi-user, single-carrier uplink channels by employing multiple decoding policies. The comparison metric used in this study is based on average energy efficiency contours, where an optimal rate vector is obtained based on four system targets: Maximum energy efficiency, a trade-off between maximum energy efficiency and rate fairness, achieving energy efficiency target with maximum sum-rate and achieving energy efficiency target with fairness. The transmit power function is approximated using Taylor series expansion, with simulation results demonstrating the achievability of the optimal rate vector, and negligible performance difference in employing this approximation

Nilpotent maximal subgroups of GLn(D)

AbstractIn [S. Akbari, J. Algebra 217 (1999) 422–433] it has been conjectured that if D is a noncommutative division ring, then D∗ contains no nilpotent maximal subgroup. In connection with this conjecture we show that if GLn(D) contains a nilpotent maximal subgroup, say M, then M is abelian, provided D is infinite. This extends one of the main results appeared in [S. Akbari, J. Algebra 259 (2003) 201–225, Theorem 4]
