Quantum information storage and state transfer based on spin systems
The idea of quantum state storage is generalized to describe the coherent
transfer of quantum information through a coherent data bus. In this universal
framework, we comprehensively review our recent systematical investigations to
explore the possibility of implementing the physical processes of quantum
information storage and state transfer by using quantum spin systems, which may
be an isotropic antiferromagnetic spin ladder system or a ferromagnetic
Heisenberg spin chain. Our studies emphasize the physical mechanisms and the
fundamental problems behind the various protocols for the storage and transfer
of quantum information in solid state systems.Comment: 11 pages, 9 figures, Review article on the quantum spin based quantum

Dimerization-assisted energy transport in light-harvesting complexes
We study the role of the dimer structure of light-harvesting complex II (LH2)
in excitation transfer from the LH2 (without a reaction center (RC)) to the LH1
(surrounding the RC), or from the LH2 to another LH2. The excited and
un-excited states of a bacteriochlorophyll (BChl) are modeled by a quasi-spin.
In the framework of quantum open system theory, we represent the excitation
transfer as the total leakage of the LH2 system and then calculate the transfer
efficiency and average transfer time. For different initial states with various
quantum superposition properties, we study how the dimerization of the B850
BChl ring can enhance the transfer efficiency and shorten the average transfer
time.Comment: 11 pages, 6 figure

Two novel nonlinear companding schemes with iterative receiver to reduce PAPR in multi-carrier modulation systems
Companding transform is an efficient and simple method to reduce the Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) for Multi-Carrier Modulation (MCM) systems. But if the MCM signal is only simply operated by inverse companding transform at the receiver, the resultant spectrum may exhibit severe in-band and out-of-band radiation of the distortion components, and considerable peak regrowth by excessive channel noises etc. In order to prevent these problems from occurring, in this paper, two novel nonlinear companding schemes with a iterative receiver are proposed to reduce the PAPR. By transforming the amplitude or power of the original MCM signals into uniform distributed signals, the novel schemes can effectively reduce PAPR for different modulation formats and sub-carrier sizes. Despite moderate complexity increasing at the receiver, but it is especially suitable to be combined with iterative channel estimation. Computer simulation results show that the proposed schemes can offer good system performances without any bandwidth expansion
Warm Asymmetric Nuclear Matter and Proto-Neutron Star
Asymmetric nuclear matter equation of state at finite temperature is studied
in SU(2) chiral sigma model using mean field approximation. The effect of
temperature on effective mass, entropy, and binding energy is discussed.
Treating the system as one with two conserved charges the liquid-gas phase
transition is investigated. We have also discussed the effect of proton
fraction on critical temperature with and without -meson contribution. We
have extended our work to study the structure of proto-neutron star with
neutron free charge-neutral matter in beta-equilibrium. We found that the mass
and radius of the star decreases as it cools from the entropy per baryon S = 2
to S = 0 and the maximum temperature of the core of the star is about 62 MeV
for S = 2.Comment: 25 pages, 16 figure
Time Reversal Invariance Violation in Neutron Deuteron Scattering
Time reversal invariance violating (TRIV) effects for low energy elastic
neutron deuteron scattering are calculated for meson exchange and EFT-type of
TRIV potentials in a Distorted Wave Born Approximation, using realistic
hadronic strong interaction wave functions, obtained by solving three-body
Faddeev equations in configuration space. The relation between TRIV and parity
violating observables are discussed
Dissipative hydrodynamics for viscous relativistic fluids
Explicit equations are given for describing the space-time evolution of
non-ideal (viscous) relativistic fluids undergoing boost-invariant longitudinal
and arbitrary transverse expansion. The equations are derived from the
second-order Israel-Stewart approach which ensures causal evolution. Both
azimuthally symmetric (1+1)-dimensional and non-symmetric (2+1)-dimensional
transverse expansion are discussed. The latter provides the formal basis for
the hydrodynamic computation of elliptic flow in relativistic heavy-ion
collisions including dissipative effects.Comment: 12 pages, no figures. Submitted to Physical Review
Inversely Unstable Solutions of Two-Dimensional Systems on Genus-p Surfaces and the Topology of Knotted Attractors
In this paper, we will show that a periodic nonlinear, time-varying
dissipative system that is defined on a genus-p surface contains one or more
invariant sets which act as attractors. Moreover, we shall generalize a result
in [Martins, 2004] and give conditions under which these invariant sets are not
homeomorphic to a circle individually, which implies the existence of chaotic
behaviour. This is achieved by studying the appearance of inversely unstable
solutions within each invariant set.Comment: 19 pages with 20 figures, AMS La-TeX, to be published in

Unitary transformation for the system of a particle in a linear potential
A unitary operator which relates the system of a particle in a linear
potential with time-dependent parameters to that of a free particle, has been
given. This operator, closely related to the one which is responsible for the
existence of coherent states for a harmonic oscillator, is used to find a
general wave packet described by an Airy function. The kernel (propagator) and
a complete set of Hermite-Gaussian type wave functions are also given.Comment: Europhysics Letters (in press
