Single and Many Particle Correlation Functions and Uniform Phase Bases for Strongly Correlated Systems
The need for suitable many or infinite fermion correlation functions to
describe some low dimensional strongly correlated systems is discussed. This is
linked to the need for a correlated basis, in which the ground state may be
postive definite, and in which single particle correlations may suffice. A
particular trial basis is proposed, and applied to a certain quasi-1D model.
The model is a strip of the 2D square lattice wrapped around a cylinder, and is
related to the ladder geometries, but with periodic instead of open boundary
conditions along the edges. Analysis involves a novel mean-field approach and
exact diagonalisation. The model has a paramagnetic region and a Nagaoka
ferromagnetic region. The proposed basis is well suited to the model, and
single particle correlations in it have power law decay for the paramagnet,
where the charge motion is qualitatively hard core bosonic. The mean field also
leads to a BCS-type model with single particle long range order.Comment: 23 pages, in plain tex, 12 Postscript figures included. Accepted for

Analysis of Density Matrix reconstruction in NMR Quantum Computing
Reconstruction of density matrices is important in NMR quantum computing. An
analysis is made for a 2-qubit system by using the error matrix method. It is
found that the state tomography method determines well the parameters that are
necessary for reconstructing the density matrix in NMR quantum computations.
Analysis is also made for a simplified state tomography procedure that uses
fewer read-outs. The result of this analysis with the error matrix method
demonstrates that a satisfactory accuracy in density matrix reconstruction can
be achieved even in a measurement with the number of read-outs being largely
reduced.Comment: 7 pages, title slightly changed and references adde
Effect of pairing correlations on nuclear low-energy structure: BCS and general Bogoliubov transformation
Low-lying nuclear states of Sm isotopes are studied in the framework of a
collective Hamiltonian based on covariant energy density functional theory.
Pairing correlation are treated by both BCS and Bogoliubov methods. It is found
that the pairing correlations deduced from relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov
(RHB) calculations are generally stronger than those by relativistic mean-field
plus BCS (RMF+BCS) with same pairing force. By simply renormalizing the pairing
strength, the diagonal part of the pairing field is changed in such a way that
the essential effects of the off-diagonal parts of the pairing field neglected
in the RMF+BCS calculations can be recovered, and consequently the low-energy
structure is in a good agreement with the predictions of the RHB model.Comment: 5 figures, 5 page
Far-flung Filaments of Ejecta in the Young Supernova Remnant G292.0+1.8
New optical images of the young SNR G292.0+1.8, obtained from the 0.9-m
telescope at CTIO, show a more extensive network of filaments than had been
known previously. Filaments emitting in [O III] are distributed throughout much
of the 8 arcmin diameter shell seen in X-ray and radio images, including a few
at the very outermost shell limits. We have also detected four small complexes
of filaments that show [S II] emission along with [OIII]. In a single long-slit
spectrum we find variations of almost an order of magnitude in the relative
strengths of oxygen and sulfur lines, which must result from abundance
variations. None of the filaments, with or without [S II], shows any evidence
for hydrogen, so all appear to be fragments of pure SN ejecta. The [S II]
filaments provide the first evidence for undiluted products of oxygen burning
in the ejecta from the supernova that gave rise to G292.0+1.8. Some oxygen
burning must have occurred, but the paucity of [S II]-emitting filaments
suggests that either the oxygen burning was not extensive or that most of its
products have yet to be excited. Most of the outer filaments exhibit radial,
pencil-like morphologies that suggest an origin as Rayleigh-Taylor fingers of
ejecta, perhaps formed during the explosion. Simulations of core-collapse
supernovae predict such fingers, but these have never before been so clearly
observed in a young SNR. The total flux from the SNR in [OIII] 5007 is 5.4 *
10**-12 ergs/cm**2/s. Using a distance of 6 kpc and an extinction correction
corresponding to E(B-V) = 0.6 (lower than previous values but more consistent
both with our data and radio and X-ray estimates of NH), this leads to a
luminosity of 1.6 * 10**35 ergs/s in the 5007 Ang. line.Comment: 32 pages including 10 figures, and 3 tables, accepted for publication
