Zero-energy Andreev surface bound states in the lattice model
The conditions for zero-energy Andreev surface bound states to exist are
found for the lattice model of d-wave superconductor with arbitrary surface
orientation. Both nearest neighbors and next nearest neighbors models are
considered. It is shown that the results are very sensitive to the surface
orientation. In particular, for half-filled -surface zero-energy Andreev
surface states only appear under the condition that and are odd

Total Reaction Cross Section in an Isospin-Dependent Quantum Molecular Dynamics (IDQMD) Model
The isospin-dependent quantum molecular dynamics (IDQMD) model is used to
study the total reaction cross section . The energy-dependent Pauli
volumes of neutrons and protons have been discussed and introduced into the
IDQMD calculation to replace the widely used energy-independent Pauli volumes.
The modified IDQMD calculation can reproduce the experimental well
for both stable and exotic nuclei induced reactions. Comparisons of the
calculated induced by with different initial density
distributions have been performed. It is shown that the calculation by using
the experimentally deduced density distribution with a long tail can fit the
experimental excitation function better than that by using the
Skyrme-Hartree-Fock calculated density without long tails. It is also found
that at high energy is sensitive to the long tail of density
distribution.Comment: 4 page, 4 fig
SO(1,1) dark energy model and the universe transition
We suggest a scalar model of dark energy with the SO(1,1) symmetry. The model
may be reformulated in terms of a real scalar field and the scale factor
so that the Lagrangian may be decomposed as that of the real quintessence
model plus the negative coupling energy term of to . The existence of
the coupling term leads to a wider range of and overcomes the
problem of negative kinetic energy in the phantom universe model. We propose a
power-law expansion model of univese with time-dependent power, which can
describe the phantom universe and the universe transition from ordinary
acceleration to super acceleration.Comment: 12 pages. submitted to CQ
Realistic Surface Scattering and Surface Bound State Formation in the High T_c Superconductor YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x}
Surface Umklapp scattering of quasiparticles, and surface roughness are shown
to play essential roles in the formation of the surface bound states in
realistic models for YBa_2Cu_3O_{6+x}. The results account for the shape, the
impurity dependence of the height, and for a proposed universal width of the
zero bias conductance peak.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
Quasinormal modes of gravitational perturbation around a Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by quintessence
In this paper, the quasinormal modes of gravitational perturbation around a
Schwarzschild black hole surrounded by quintessence were evaluated by using the
third-order WKB approximation. Due to the presence of quintessence, the
gravitational wave damps more slowly
Ratio of Hadronic Decay Rates of J\psi and \psi(2S) and the \rho\pi Puzzle
The so-called \rho\pi puzzle of J\psi and \psi(2S) decays is examined using
the experimental data available to date. Two different approaches were taken to
estimate the ratio of J\psi and \psi(2S) hadronic decay rates. While one of the
estimates could not yield the exact ratio of \psi(2S) to J\psi inclusive
hadronic decay rates, the other, based on a computation of the inclusive ggg
decay rate for
\psi(2S) (J\psi) by subtracting other decay rates from the total decay rate,
differs by two standard deviations from the naive prediction of perturbative
QCD, even though its central value is nearly twice as large as what was naively
expected. A comparison between this ratio, upon making corrections for specific
exclusive two-body decay modes, and the corresponding experimental data
confirms the puzzles in
J\psi and \psi(2S) decays. We find from our analysis that the exclusively
reconstructed hadronic decays of the \psi(2S) account for only a small fraction
of its total decays, and a ratio exceeding the above estimate should be
expected to occur for a considerable number of the remaining decay channels. We
also show that the recent new results from the BES experiment provide crucial
tests of various theoretical models proposed to explain the puzzle.Comment: 8 pages, no figure, 4 table
From Composite Fermions to Calogero-Sutherland Model: Edge of Fractional Quantum Hall Liquid and the Dimension Reduction
We derive a microscopic model describing the low-lying edge excitations in
the fractional quantum Hall liquid with .
For , it is found that the composite fermion model reduces to an
SU Calogero-Sutherland model in a dimension reduction, whereas it is
not exact soluble for . However, the ground states in both cases can
be found and the low-lying excitations can be shown the chiral Luttinger liquid
behaviors. On the other hand, we shows that the finite temperature behavior of
curve will deviate from the prediction of the chiral Luttinger liquid. We
also point out that the suppression of the `spin' degrees of freedom agrees
with very recent experiments by Chang et al. The two-boson model of Lee and Wen
is described microscopically.Comment: 4 pages, Revtex, accepted for publication by PR
Linear-response theory and lattice dynamics: a muffin-tin orbital approach
A detailed description of a method for calculating static linear-response
functions in the problem of lattice dynamics is presented. The method is based
on density functional theory and it uses linear muffin-tin orbitals as a basis
for representing first-order corrections to the one-electron wave functions. As
an application we calculate phonon dispersions in Si and NbC and find good
agreement with experiments.Comment: 18 pages, Revtex, 2 ps figures, uuencoded, gzip'ed, tar'ed fil
Dark energy problem: from phantom theory to modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity
The solution of dark energy problem in the models without scalars is
presented. It is shown that late-time accelerating cosmology may be generated
by the ideal fluid with some implicit equation of state. The universe evolution
within modified Gauss-Bonnet gravity is considered. It is demonstrated that
such gravitational approach may predict the (quintessential, cosmological
constant or transient phantom) acceleration of the late-time universe with
natural transiton from deceleration to acceleration (or from non-phantom to
phantom era in the last case).Comment: LaTeX 8 pages, prepared for the Proceedings of QFEXT'05, minor

Time-bin-encoded boson sampling with a single-photon device
This work was supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China, the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the National Fundamental Research Program, and the State of Bavaria.Boson sampling is a problem strongly believed to be intractable for classical computers, but can be naturally solved on a specialized photonic quantum simulator. Here, we implement the first time-bin-encoded boson sampling using a highly indistinguishable (âŒ94%) single-photon source based on a single quantum-dot-micropillar device. The protocol requires only one single-photon source, two detectors, and a loop-based interferometer for an arbitrary number of photons. The single-photon pulse train is time-bin encoded and deterministically injected into an electrically programmable multimode network. The observed three- and four-photon boson sampling rates are 18.8 and 0.2 Hz, respectively, which are more than 100 times faster than previous experiments based on parametric down-conversion.PostprintPeer reviewe
