The effects of disorder in dimerized quantum magnets in mean field approximations

We study theoretically the effects of disorder on Bose-Einstein condensates (BEC) of bosonic triplon quasiparticles in doped dimerized quantum magnets. The condensation occurs in a strong enough magnetic field Hc, where the concentration of bosons in the random potential is sufficient to form the condensate. The effect of doping is partly modeled by delta - correlated disorder potential, which (i) leads to the uniform renormalization of the system parameters and (ii) produces disorder in the system with renormalized parameters. These approaches can explain qualitatively the available magnetization data in the Tl_(1-x)K_(x)CuCl_3 compound taken as an example. In addition to the magnetization, we found that the speed of the Bogoliubov mode has a peak as a function of doping parameter, x. No evidence of the pure Bose glass phase has been obtained in the BEC regime.Comment: Includes 19 pages, 5 figure

Asymptotic energy profile of a wavepacket in disordered chains

We investigate the long time behavior of a wavepacket initially localized at a single site $n_0$ in translationally invariant harmonic and anharmonic chains with random interactions. In the harmonic case, the energy profile $\bar{< e_n(t)>}$ averaged on time and disorder decays for large $|n-n_0|$ as a power law $\bar{}\approx C|n-n_0|^{-\eta}$ where $\eta=5/2$ and 3/2 for initial displacement and momentum excitations, respectively. The prefactor $C$ depends on the probability distribution of the harmonic coupling constants and diverges in the limit of weak disorder. As a consequence, the moments $< m_{\nu}(t)>$ of the energy distribution averaged with respect to disorder diverge in time as $t^{\beta(\nu)}$ for $\nu \geq 2$, where $\beta=\nu+1-\eta$ for $\nu>\eta-1$. Molecular dynamics simulations yield good agreement with these theoretical predictions. Therefore, in this system, the second moment of the wavepacket diverges as a function of time despite the wavepacket is not spreading. Thus, this only criteria often considered earlier as proving the spreading of a wave packet, cannot be considered as sufficient in any model. The anharmonic case is investigated numerically. It is found for intermediate disorder, that the tail of the energy profile becomes very close to those of the harmonic case. For weak and strong disorder, our results suggest that the crossover to the harmonic behavior occurs at much larger $|n-n_0|$ and larger time.Comment: To appear in Phys. Rev.

A generalization of the q-Saalschutz sum and the Burge transform

A generalization of the q-(Pfaff)-Saalschutz summation formula is proved. This implies a generalization of the Burge transform, resulting in an additional dimension of the ``Burge tree''. Limiting cases of our summation formula imply the (higher-level) Bailey lemma, provide a new decomposition of the q-multinomial coefficients, and can be used to prove the Lepowsky and Primc formula for the A_1^{(1)} string functions.Comment: 18 pages, AMSLaTe

Regular-to-chaotic tunneling rates using a fictitious integrable system

We derive a formula predicting dynamical tunneling rates from regular states to the chaotic sea in systems with a mixed phase space. Our approach is based on the introduction of a fictitious integrable system that resembles the regular dynamics within the island. For the standard map and other kicked systems we find agreement with numerical results for all regular states in a regime where resonance-assisted tunneling is not relevant.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Generation of Total Angular Momentum Eigenstates in Remote Qubits

We propose a scheme enabling the universal coupling of angular momentum of $N$ remote noninteracting qubits using linear optical tools only. Our system consists of $N$ single-photon emitters in a $\Lambda$-configuration that are entangled among their long-lived ground-state qubits through suitably designed measurements of the emitted photons. In this manner, we present an experimentally feasible algorithm that is able to generate any of the $2^N$ symmetric and nonsymmetric total angular momentum eigenstates spanning the Hilbert space of the $N$-qubit compound.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figures, improved presentation.

Unquenching the Quark Model and Screened Potentials

The low-lying spectrum of the quark model is shown to be robust under the effects of `unquenching'. In contrast, the use of screened potentials is shown to be of limited use in models of hadrons. Applications to unquenching the lattice Wilson loop potential and to glueball mixing in the adiabatic hybrid spectrum are also presented.Comment: 6 pages, 3 ps figures, revtex.
