Solving Dirac equations on a 3D lattice with inverse Hamiltonian and spectral methods
A new method to solve the Dirac equation on a 3D lattice is proposed, in
which the variational collapse problem is avoided by the inverse Hamiltonian
method and the fermion doubling problem is avoided by performing spatial
derivatives in momentum space with the help of the discrete Fourier transform,
i.e., the spectral method. This method is demonstrated in solving the Dirac
equation for a given spherical potential in 3D lattice space. In comparison
with the results obtained by the shooting method, the differences in single
particle energy are smaller than ~MeV, and the densities are almost
identical, which demonstrates the high accuracy of the present method. The
results obtained by applying this method without any modification to solve the
Dirac equations for an axial deformed, non-axial deformed, and octupole
deformed potential are provided and discussed.Comment: 18 pages, 6 figure

The -log-convexity of Domb's polynomials
In this paper, we prove the -log-convexity of Domb's polynomials, which
was conjectured by Sun in the study of Ramanujan-Sato type series for powers of
. As a result, we obtain the log-convexity of Domb's numbers. Our proof is
based on the -log-convexity of Narayana polynomials of type and a
criterion for determining -log-convexity of self-reciprocal polynomials.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:1308.273
Theory of control of spin/photon interface for quantum networks
A cavity coupling a charged nanodot and a fiber can act as a quantum
interface, through which a stationary spin qubit and a flying photon qubit can
be inter-converted via cavity-assisted Raman process. This Raman process can be
controlled to generate or annihilate an arbitrarily shaped single-photon
wavepacket by pulse-shaping the controlling laser field. This quantum interface
forms the basis for many essential functions of a quantum network, including
sending, receiving, transferring, swapping, and entangling qubits at
distributed quantum nodes as well as a deterministic source and an efficient
detector of a single photon wavepacket with arbitrarily specified shape and
average photon number. Numerical study of noise effects on the operations shows
high fidelity.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
On the -log-convexity conjecture of Sun
In his study of Ramanujan-Sato type series for , Sun introduced a
sequence of polynomials as given by
and he conjectured that the polynomials are -log-convex. By
imitating a result of Liu and Wang on generating new -log-convex sequences
of polynomials from old ones, we obtain a sufficient condition for determining
the -log-convexity of self-reciprocal polynomials. Based on this criterion,
we then give an affirmative answer to Sun's conjecture
Octet baryon masses in next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory
We study the ground-state octet baryon masses and sigma terms using the
covariant baryon chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) with the
extended-on-mass-shell (EOMS) renormalization scheme up to
next-to-next-to-next-to-leading order (NLO). By adjusting the available 19
low-energy constants (LECs), a reasonable fit of the lattice quantum
chromodynamics (LQCD) results from the PACS-CS, LHPC, HSC, QCDSF-UKQCD and
NPLQCD collaborations is achieved. Finite-volume corrections to the lattice
data are calculated self-consistently. Our study shows that NLO BChPT
describes better the light quark mass evolution of the lattice data than the
NNLO BChPT does and the various lattice simulations seem to be consistent with
each other. We also predict the pion and strangeness sigma terms of the octet
baryons using the LECs determined in the fit of their masses. The predicted
pion- and strangeness-nucleon sigma terms are MeV and
MeV, respectively.Comment: 28 pages, 6 figures, minor revisions, typos corrected, version to
