Probability representation and quantumness tests for qudits and two-mode light states
Using tomographic-probability representation of spin states, quantum behavior
of qudits is examined. For a general j-qudit state we propose an explicit
formula of quantumness witnetness whose negative average value is incompatible
with classical statistical model. Probability representations of quantum and
classical (2j+1)-level systems are compared within the framework of quantumness
tests. Trough employing Jordan-Schwinger map the method is extended to check
quantumness of two-mode light states.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures, PDFLaTeX, Contribution to the 11th International

Distances between quantum states in the tomographic-probability representation
Distances between quantum states are reviewed within the framework of the
tomographic-probability representation. Tomographic approach is based on
observed probabilities and is straightforward for data processing. Different
states are distinguished by comparing corresponding probability-distribution
functions. Fidelity as well as other distance measures are expressed in terms
of tomograms.Comment: 10 pages, Contribution to the 16th Central European Workshop on

Estimating the cutting force when skiving with a radius cutter
The paper considers the method of determining the components of the cutting force under cutting completed with a radius cutter. The authors provide the design of the experimental study. The authors provide the data on the cutting force change in the process of turning with a radius cutter according to the cutting edge inclination, cutting depth and supply obtained experimentally and calculated analytically. The paper also provides the results of experimental work approximation and theoretical error checking related to experimental data
Experimental Research Into Generation of Acoustic Emission Signals in the Process of Friction of Hadfield Steel Single Crystals
The results of experimental research into dry sliding friction of Hadfield steel single crystals involving registration of acoustic emission are presented in the paper. The images of friction surfaces of Hadfield steel single crystals and wear grooves of the counterbody surface made after completion of three serial experiments conducted under similar conditions and friction regimes are given. The relation of the acoustic emission waveform envelope to the changing friction factor is revealed. Amplitude-frequency characteristics of acoustic emission signal frames are determined on the base of Fast Fourier Transform and Short Time Fourier Transform during the run-in stage of tribounits and in the process of stable friction
Symmetric informationally complete positive operator valued measure and probability representation of quantum mechanics
Symmetric informationally complete positive operator valued measures
(SIC-POVMs) are studied within the framework of the probability representation
of quantum mechanics. A SIC-POVM is shown to be a special case of the
probability representation. The problem of SIC-POVM existence is formulated in
terms of symbols of operators associated with a star-product quantization
scheme. We show that SIC-POVMs (if they do exist) must obey general rules of
the star product, and, starting from this fact, we derive new relations on
SIC-projectors. The case of qubits is considered in detail, in particular, the
relation between the SIC probability representation and other probability
representations is established, the connection with mutually unbiased bases is
discussed, and comments to the Lie algebraic structure of SIC-POVMs are
presented.Comment: 22 pages, 1 figure, LaTeX, partially presented at the Workshop

MuSR method and tomographic probability representation of spin states
Muon spin rotation/relaxation/resonance (MuSR) technique for studying matter
structures is considered by means of a recently introduced probability
representation of quantum spin states. A relation between experimental MuSR
histograms and muon spin tomograms is established. Time evolution of muonium,
anomalous muonium, and a muonium-like system is studied in the tomographic
representation. Entanglement phenomenon of a bipartite muon-electron system is
investigated via tomographic analogues of Bell number and positive partial
transpose (PPT) criterion. Reconstruction of the muon-electron spin state as
well as the total spin tomography of composed system is discussed.Comment: 20 pages, 4 figures, LaTeX, submitted to Journal of Russian Laser
