Inseparability inequalities for higher-order moments for bipartite systems
There are several examples of bipartite entangled states of continuous
variables for which the existing criteria for entanglement using the
inequalities involving the second order moments are insufficient. We derive new
inequalities involving higher order correlation, for testing entanglement in
non-Gaussian states. In this context we study an example of a non-Gaussian
state, which is a bipartite entangled state of the form .
Our results open up an avenue to search for new inequalities to test
entanglement in non-Gaussian states.Comment: 7 pages, Submitte
Finite-size effects on a lattice calculation
We study in this paper the finite-size effects of a non-periodic lattice on a
lattice calculation. To this end we use a finite lattice equipped with a
central difference derivative with homogeneous boundary conditions to calculate
the bosonic mass associated to the Schwinger model. We found that the
homogeneous boundary conditions produce absence of fermion doubling and chiral
invariance, but we also found that in the continuum limit this lattice model
does not yield the correct value of the boson mass as other models do. We
discuss the reasons for this and, as a result, the matrix which cause the
fermion doubling problem is identified.Comment: 8 pages, no figures, extended version, five references adde
Structural change in multipartite entanglement sharing: a random matrix approach
We study the typical entanglement properties of a system comprising two
independent qubit environments interacting via a shuttling ancilla. The initial
preparation of the environments is modeled using random-matrix techniques. The
entanglement measure used in our study is then averaged over many histories of
randomly prepared environmental states. Under a Heisenberg interaction model,
the average entanglement between the ancilla and one of the environments
remains constant, regardless of the preparation of the latter and the details
of the interaction. We also show that, upon suitable kinematic and dynamical
changes in the ancilla-environment subsystems, the entanglement-sharing
structure undergoes abrupt modifications associated with a change in the
multipartite entanglement class of the overall system's state. These results
are invariant with respect to the randomized initial state of the environments.Comment: 10 pages, RevTeX4 (Minor typo's corrected. Closer to published

Correlations in optically-controlled quantum emitters
We address the problem of optically controlling and quantifying the
dissipative dynamics of quantum and classical correlations in a set-up of
individual quantum emitters under external laser excitation. We show that both
types of correlations, the former measured by the quantum discord, are present
in the system's evolution even though the emitters may exhibit an early stage
disentanglement. In the absence of external laser pumping,we demonstrate
analytically, for a set of suitable initial states, that there is an entropy
bound for which quantum discord and entanglement of the emitters are always
greater than classical correlations, thus disproving an early conjecture that
classical correlations are greater than quantum correlations. Furthermore, we
show that quantum correlations can also be greater than classical correlations
when the system is driven by a laser field. For scenarios where the emitters'
quantum correlations are below their classical counterparts, an optimization of
the evolution of the quantum correlations can be carried out by appropriately
tailoring the amplitude of the laser field and the emitters' dipole-dipole
interaction. We stress the importance of using the entanglement of formation,
rather than the concurrence, as the entanglement measure, since the latter can
grow beyond the total correlations and thus give incorrect results on the
actual system's degree of entanglement.Comment: 11 pages, 10 figures, this version contains minor modifications; to

Disentanglement and decoherence in two-spin and three-spin systems under dephasing
We compare disentanglement and decoherence rates within two-spin and
three-spin entangled systems subjected to all possible combinations of local
and collective pure dephasing noise combinations. In all cases, the bipartite
entanglement decay rate is found to be greater than or equal to the
dephasing-decoherence rates and often significantly greater. This sharpens
previous results for two-spin systems [T. Yu and J. H. Eberly Phys. Rev. B 68,
165322 (2003)] and extends them to the three-spin context.Comment: 17 page
Environment assisted entanglement enhancement
We consider dissipative atom-cavity systems and show that their collective
dynamics leads to the maximization of entanglement for intermediate values of
the cavity leakage parameter . We discuss possible ways the reservoir
influences entanglement. We first consider the entanglement of a single
two-level atom with a microwave cavity that is coupled to another cavity. We
show that the atom-cavity entanglement can be made to increase with cavity
leakage. We next show that the entanglement between two atoms passing
successively through a cavity can be maximised for intermediate values of
. We finally consider the micromaser where the increase of two-atom
entanglement for stronger cavity-environment coupling is demonstrated for
experimentally attainable values of the micromaser parameters.Comment: 4 pages, Revtex, 1 eps figure; minor changes to match with published

Are all maximally entangled states pure?
We study if all maximally entangled states are pure through several
entanglement monotones. In the bipartite case, we find that the same conditions
which lead to the uniqueness of the entropy of entanglement as a measure of
entanglement, exclude the existence of maximally mixed entangled states. In the
multipartite scenario, our conclusions allow us to generalize the idea of
monogamy of entanglement: we establish the \textit{polygamy of entanglement},
expressing that if a general state is maximally entangled with respect to some
kind of multipartite entanglement, then it is necessarily factorized of any
other system.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure. Proof of theorem 3 corrected e new results

The B_{s0} meson and the B_{s0}B K coupling from QCD sum rules
We evaluate the mass of the scalar meson and the coupling constant
in the vertex in the framework of QCD sum rules. We consider the
as a tetraquark state to evaluate its mass. We get m_{B_s0}=(6.04\pm
0.08) \GeV, which is bigger than predictions supposing it as a
state or a bound state with . To evaluate the coupling we use the three point correlation functions of the vertex,
considering as a normal state. The obtained coupling
constant is: g_{B_{s0} B K} =(16.3 \pm 3.2) \GeV. This number is in agreement
with light-cone QCD sum rules calculation. We have also compared the decay
width of the \BS\to BK process considering the \BS to be a state
and a molecular state. The width obtained for the molecular state is
twice as big as the width obtained for the state. Therefore, we
conclude that with the knowledge of the mass and the decay width of the \BS
meson, one can discriminate between the different theoretical proposals for its
structure.Comment: revised version to appear in Phys. Rev.
The (11112) model on a 1+1 dimensional lattice
We study the chiral gauge model (11112) of four left-movers and one
right-mover with strong interactions in the 1+1 dimensional lattice. Exact
computations of relevant -matrix elements demonstrate a loophole that so
constructed model and its dynamics can possibly evade the ``no-go'' theorem of
Nielsen and Ninomiya.Comment: 15 pages, 1 fig. to appear in Phys. Rev.
