Quantum state transfer for multi-input linear quantum systems
Effective state transfer is one of the most important problems in quantum
information processing. Typically, a quantum information device is composed of
many subsystems with multi-input ports. In this paper, we develop a general
theory describing the condition for perfect state transfer from the multi-input
ports to the internal system components, for general passive linear quantum
systems. The key notion used is the zero of the transfer function matrix.
Application to entanglement generation and distribution in a quantum network is
also discussed.Comment: 6 pages, 3 figures. A preliminary condensed version of this work will

Efficient spin control in high-quality-factor planar micro-cavities
A semiconductor microcavity embedding donor impurities and excited by a laser
field is modelled. By including general decay and dephasing processes, and in
particular cavity photon leakage, detailed simulations show that control over
the spin dynamics is significally enhanced in high-quality-factor cavities, in
which case picosecond laser pulses may produce spin-flip with high-fidelity
final states.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure
Faster Compact On-Line Lempel-Ziv Factorization
We present a new on-line algorithm for computing the Lempel-Ziv factorization
of a string that runs in time and uses only bits
of working space, where is the length of the string and is the
size of the alphabet. This is a notable improvement compared to the performance
of previous on-line algorithms using the same order of working space but
running in either time (Okanohara & Sadakane 2009) or
time (Starikovskaya 2012). The key to our new algorithm is in the
utilization of an elegant but less popular index structure called Directed
Acyclic Word Graphs, or DAWGs (Blumer et al. 1985). We also present an
opportunistic variant of our algorithm, which, given the run length encoding of
size of a string of length , computes the Lempel-Ziv factorization
on-line, in time
and bits of space, which is faster and more space efficient when
the string is run-length compressible
Polarization entanglement visibility of photon pairs emitted by a quantum dot embedded in a microcavity
We study the photon emission from a quantum dot embedded in a microcavity.
Incoherent pumping of its excitons and biexciton provokes the emission of leaky
and cavity modes. By solving a master equation we obtain the correlation
functions required to compute the spectrum and the relative efficiency among
the emission of pairs and single photons. A quantum regime appears for low
pumping and large rate of emission. By means of a post-selection process, a two
beams experiment with different linear polarizations could be performed
producing a large polarization entanglement visibility precisely in the quantum
regime.Comment: 13 pages and 6 figure
Competing Ground States of the New Class of Halogen-Bridged Metal Complexes
Based on a symmetry argument, we study the ground-state properties of
halogen-bridged binuclear metal chain complexes. We systematically derive
commensurate density-wave solutions from a relevant two-band Peierls-Hubbard
model and numerically draw the the ground-state phase diagram as a function of
electron-electron correlations, electron-phonon interactions, and doping
concentration within the Hartree-Fock approximation. The competition between
two types of charge-density-wave states, which has recently been reported
experimentally, is indeed demonstrated.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures embedded, to appear in J. Phys. Soc. Jp
Elementary Excitations of Heisenberg Ferrimagnetic Spin Chains
We numerically investigate elementary excitations of the Heisenberg
alternating-spin chains with two kinds of spins 1 and 1/2 antiferromagnetically
coupled to each other. Employing a recently developed efficient Monte Carlo
technique as well as an exact diagonalization method, we verify the spin-wave
argument that the model exhibits two distinct excitations from the ground state
which are gapless and gapped. The gapless branch shows a quadratic dispersion
in the small-momentum region, which is of ferromagnetic type. With the
intention of elucidating the physical mechanism of both excitations, we make a
perturbation approach from the decoupled-dimer limit. The gapless branch is
directly related to spin 1's, while the gapped branch originates from
cooperation of the two kinds of spins.Comment: 7 pages, 7 Postscript figures, RevTe
Hybrid TLC-pair meter for the Sphinx Project
The chief aims in THE SPHINX PROJECT are research of super lepton physics and new detector experiments. At the second phase of THE SPHINX PROJECT, a hybrid TLC-PAIR METER was designed for measuring high energy neutrino sources (E upsilon * TeV), searching high energy muon sources (E mu TeV) and measuring muon group (E mu 1 TeV). The principle of PAIR METER has been already proposed. In this TLC-PAIR METER, electromagnetic shower induced by cosmic ray muons are detected using TL (Thermoluminescence) sheets with position counters
