An equivalent expression of Z2 Topological Invariant for band insulators using Non-Abelian Berry's connection

We introduce a new expression for the Z2 topological invariant of band insulators using non- Abelian Berry's connection. Our expression can identify the topological nature of a general band insulator without any of the gauge fixing problems that plague the concrete implementation of previous invariants. The new expression can be derived from the "partner switching" of the Wannier function center during time reversal pumping and is thus equivalent to the Z2 topological invariant proposed by Kane and Mele.Comment: 14 pages, 8 figure

A Multiple Kernel Learning Model Based on p

By utilizing kernel functions, support vector machines (SVMs) successfully solve the linearly inseparable problems. Subsequently, its applicable areas have been greatly extended. Using multiple kernels (MKs) to improve the SVM classification accuracy has been a hot topic in the SVM research society for several years. However, most MK learning (MKL) methods employ L1-norm constraint on the kernel combination weights, which forms a sparse yet nonsmooth solution for the kernel weights. Alternatively, the Lp-norm constraint on the kernel weights keeps all information in the base kernels. Nonetheless, the solution of Lp-norm constraint MKL is nonsparse and sensitive to the noise. Recently, some scholars presented an efficient sparse generalized MKL (L1- and L2-norms based GMKL) method, in which L1  L2 established an elastic constraint on the kernel weights. In this paper, we further extend the GMKL to a more generalized MKL method based on the p-norm, by joining L1- and Lp-norms. Consequently, the L1- and L2-norms based GMKL is a special case in our method when p=2. Experiments demonstrated that our L1- and Lp-norms based MKL offers a higher accuracy than the L1- and L2-norms based GMKL in the classification, while keeping the properties of the L1- and L2-norms based on GMKL

The linear and nonlinear Jaynes-Cummings model for the multiphoton transition

With the Jaynes-Cummings model, we have studied the atom and light field quantum entanglement of multiphoton transition, and researched the effect of initial state superposition coefficient $C_{1}$, the transition photon number $N$, the quantum discord $\delta$ and the nonlinear coefficient $\chi$ on the quantum entanglement degrees. We have given the quantum entanglement degrees curves with time evolution, and obtained some results, which should have been used in quantum computing and quantum information.Comment: arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1404.0821, arXiv:1205.0979 by other author
