Observation of sub-Doppler absorption in the /Lambda-type three-level Doppler-broadened cesium system
Thanks to the atomic coherence in coupling laser driven atomic system,
sub-Doppler absorption has been observed in Doppler-broadened cesium vapor cell
via the /Lambda-type three-level scheme. The linewidth of the sub-Doppler
absorption peak become narrower while the frequency detuning of coupling laser
increases. The results are in agreement with the theoretical prediction by G.

Generalized Second Price Auction with Probabilistic Broad Match
Generalized Second Price (GSP) auctions are widely used by search engines
today to sell their ad slots. Most search engines have supported broad match
between queries and bid keywords when executing GSP auctions, however, it has
been revealed that GSP auction with the standard broad-match mechanism they are
currently using (denoted as SBM-GSP) has several theoretical drawbacks (e.g.,
its theoretical properties are known only for the single-slot case and
full-information setting, and even in this simple setting, the corresponding
worst-case social welfare can be rather bad). To address this issue, we propose
a novel broad-match mechanism, which we call the Probabilistic Broad-Match
(PBM) mechanism. Different from SBM that puts together the ads bidding on all
the keywords matched to a given query for the GSP auction, the GSP with PBM
(denoted as PBM-GSP) randomly samples a keyword according to a predefined
probability distribution and only runs the GSP auction for the ads bidding on
this sampled keyword. We perform a comprehensive study on the theoretical
properties of the PBM-GSP. Specifically, we study its social welfare in the
worst equilibrium, in both full-information and Bayesian settings. The results
show that PBM-GSP can generate larger welfare than SBM-GSP under mild
conditions. Furthermore, we also study the revenue guarantee for PBM-GSP in
Bayesian setting. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work on
broad-match mechanisms for GSP that goes beyond the single-slot case and the
full-information setting
Electronic structures and magnetic orders of Fe-vacancies ordered ternary iron selenides TlFeSe and AFeSe (A=K, Rb, or Cs)
By the first-principles electronic structure calculations, we find that the
ground state of the Fe-vacancies ordered TlFeSe is a
quasi-two-dimensional collinear antiferromagnetic semiconductor with an energy
gap of 94 meV, in agreement with experimental measurements. This
antiferromagnetic order is driven by the Se-bridged antiferromagnetic
superexchange interactions between Fe moments. Similarly, we find that crystals
AFeSe (A=K, Rb, or Cs) are also antiferromagnetic semiconductors
but with a zero-gap semiconducting state or semimetallic state nearly
degenerated with the ground states. Thus rich physical properties and phase
diagrams are expected.Comment: Add results about AFeSe (A=K, Rb, or Cs);4 pages and 7

Correlation evolution and monogamy of two geometric quantum discords in multipartite systems
We explore two different geometric quantum discords defined respectively via
the trace norm (GQD-1) and Hilbert-Schmidt norm (GQD-2) in multipartite
systems. A rigorous hierarchy relation is revealed for the two GQDs in a class
of symmetric two-qubit -shape states. For multiqubit pure states, it is
found that both GQDs are related to the entanglement concurrence, with the
hierarchy relation being saturated. Furthermore, we look into a four-partite
dynamical system consisting of two cavities interacting with independent
reservoirs. It is found that the GQD-2 can exhibit various sudden change
behaviours, while the GQD-1 only evolves asymptotically, with the two GQDs
exhibiting different monogamous properties.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
