    Chain of Hardy-type local reality constraints for nn qubits

    Get PDF
    Non-locality without inequality is an elegant argument introduced by L. Hardy for two qubit systems, and later generalised to nn qubits, to establish contradiction of quantum theory with local realism. Interestingly, for n=2n=2 this argument is actually a corollary of Bell-type inequalities, viz. the CH-Hardy inequality involving Bell correlations, but for nn greater than 2 it involves nn-particle probabilities more general than Bell-correlations. In this paper, we first derive a chain of completely new local realistic inequalities involving joint probabilities for nn qubits, and then, associated to each such inequality, we provide a new Hardy-type local reality constraint without inequalities. Quantum mechanical maximal violations of the chain of inequalities and of the associated constraints are also studied by deriving appropriate Cirel'son type theorems. These results involving joint probabilities more general than Bell correlations are expected to provide a new systematic tool to investigate entanglement.Comment: 10 pages, Late

    Photons from anisotropic Quark-Gluon-Plasma

    Full text link
    We calculate medium photons due to Compton and annihilation processes in an anisotropic media. The effects of time-dependent momentum-space anisotropy of {\em Quark-Gluon-Plasma} (QGP) on the medium photon production are discussed. Such an anisotropy can results from the initial rapid longitudinal expansion of the matter, created in relativistic heavy ion collisions. A phenomenological model for the time-dependence of the parton hard momentum scale, phard(τ)p_{hard}(\tau), and anisotropy parameter, ξ(τ)\xi(\tau), has been used to describe the plasma space-time evolution. We find significant dependency of photon yield on the isotropization time (τiso\tau_{iso}). It is shown that the introduction of early time momentum-space anisotropy can enhance the photon production by a factor of 10(1.5)10 (1.5) (in the central rapidity region) for {\em free streaming} ({\em collisionally-broadened}) {\em interpolating} model if we assume fixed initial condition. On the other hand, enforcing the fixed final multiplicity significantly reduces the enhancement of medium photon production.Comment: 15 pages, 19 figures, few refs added, one new paragraph is added in introduction, published in Physical Rev.

    Bright solitons in asymmetrically trapped Bose-Einstein condensate

    Full text link
    We study the dynamics of bright solitons in a Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) confined in a highly asymmetric trap. While working within the f ramework of a variational approach we carry out the stability analysis o f BEC solitons against collapse. When the number of atoms in the soliton exceeds a critical number NcN_c, it undergoes the so called primary col lapse. We find an analytical expression for NcN_c in terms of appropriat e experimental quantities that are used to produce and confine the conde nsate. We further demonstrate that, in the geometry of the problem consi dered, the width of the soliton varies inversely as the number of consti tuent atoms.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure
