    People may encounter different stages of grief during the course of bereavement, and not everyone can achieve a positive state of mind. This study intended to analyze how the characters in Manchester by the Sea, mainly Lee Chandler, Patrick Chandler, and Randi, manage their emotional responses when they are facing the loss of a loved one. The study used Elisabeth Kübler-Ross’s five-stage model of grief and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to analyze how these characters transition through their grief and whether they are likely to suffer from mental illness. Some people, like Randi and Patrick in the film, may recover from bereavement; however, some people, like Lee, may not, eventually becoming afflicted with mental illness or PTSD

    Quantum Discord for Investigating Quantum Correlations without Entanglement in Solids

    Full text link
    Quantum systems unfold diversified correlations which have no classical counterparts. These quantum correlations have various different facets. Quantum entanglement, as the most well known measure of quantum correlations, plays essential roles in quantum information processing. However, it has recently been pointed out that quantum entanglement cannot describe all the nonclassicality in the correlations. Thus the study of quantum correlations in separable states attracts widely attentions. Herein, we experimentally investigate the quantum correlations of separable thermal states in terms of quantum discord. The sudden change of quantum discord is observed, which captures ambiguously the critical point associated with the behavior of Hamiltonian. Our results display the potential applications of quantum correlations in studying the fundamental properties of quantum system, such as quantum criticality of non-zero temperature.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

    Two observed structures with M=1868±8−57+40M=1868 \pm 8^{+ 40}_{- 57} MeV and M=2073±94−240+245M=2073 \pm 94^{+ 245}_{- 240} MeV are the same states (K2∗(1980)K_2^*(1980)) in PDG.The analysis of the mass spectrum and the calculation of the strong decay of K2∗K_2^* mesons support the low mass state of K2∗(1980)K_2^*(1980) as 23P22^3P_2 and the high mass state of K2∗(1980)K_2^*(1980) as 13F21^3F_2 in this letter. This analysis brings us very important criterion for the assignment of the observed K2∗(1980)K_2^* (1980) and experimental findings for this assignment is suggested. Additionally, prediction of some partial decay widths are made on the high excitations of K2∗K_2^* family. This study is crucial to establishing and searching for their higher excitations in the future.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figures. arXiv admin note: text overlap with arXiv:1810.0269

    QQˉ{Q} \bar{Q} (Q∈{b,c})({Q}\in{\{b,c}\}) spectroscopy using the modified Rovibrational model

    Full text link
    Mass spectra of quarkonium systems can be described by different phenomenological potentials. In the present work, the {\color{black}resonance} states of heavy quarkonium like (ccˉc\bar{c} and bbˉb\bar{b}) are considered as the rovibrational states. We study a parameterized rovibrational model derived from the empirical solution of the nonrelativistic Schr\"{o}dinger equation with Morse potential, the corrections are composed of colour hyperfine interaction and spin-orbit interaction of mesons. We {\color{black}obtain} the high excited state mass spectra of charmonium and bottomonium comparing the results in reasonable agreement with the present experimental data.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure

    Coherence-protected Quantum Gate by Continuous Dynamical Decoupling in Diamond

    Full text link
    To implement reliable quantum information processing, quantum gates have to be protected together with the qubits from decoherence. Here we demonstrate experimentally on nitrogen-vacancy system that by using continuous wave dynamical decoupling method, not only the coherence time is prolonged by about 20 times, but also the quantum gates is protected for the duration of controlling time. This protocol shares the merits of retaining the superiority of prolonging the coherence time and at the same time easily combining with quantum logic tasks. It is expected to be useful in task where duration of quantum controlling exceeds far beyond the dephasing time.Comment: 5 pages, 4 figure

    Near-threshold photoproduction of J/ψJ/\psi in two-gluon exchange model

    Full text link
    The near-threshold photoproduction of J/ψJ/\psi is regarded as one golden process to unveil the nucleon mass structure, pentaquark state involving the charm quarks, and the poorly constrained gluon distribution of the nucleon at large xx (>0.1>0.1). In this paper, we present an analysis of the current experimental data under a two-gluon exchange model, which shows a good consistency. Using a parameterized function form with three free parameters, we have determined the nucleonic gluon distribution at the J/ψJ/\psi mass scale. Moreover, we predict the differential cross section of the electroproduction of J/ψJ/\psi as a function of the invariant mass of the final hadrons WW, at EicC, as a practical application of the model and the obtained gluon distribution. According to our estimation, thousands of J/ψJ/\psi events can be detected per year on EicC near the threshold. Therefore, the relevant experimental measurements are suggested to be carried out on EicC.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
