Quantum state swapping via qubit network with Hubbard interaction
We study the quantum state transfer (QST) in a class of qubit network with
on-site interaction, which is described by the generalized Hubbard model with
engineered couplings. It is proved that the system of two electrons with
opposite spins in this quantum network of sites can be rigorously reduced
into one dimensional engineered single Bloch electron models with central
potential barrier. With this observation we find that such system can perform a
perfect QST, the quantum swapping between two distant electrons with opposite
spins. Numerical results show such QST and the resonant-tunnelling for the
optimal on-site interaction strengths.Comment: 4 pages, 3 figure
Tests of Functional Form and Heteroscedasticity
This paper considers tests of misspecification in a heteroscedastic transformation model. We derive Lagrange multiplier (LM) statistics for (i) testing functional form and heteroscedasticity jointly, (ii) testing functional form in the presence of heteroscedasticity, and (iii) testing heteroscedasticity in the presence of data transformation. We present LM statistics based on the expected information matrix. For cases (i) and (ii), this is done assuming the Box-Cox transformation. For case (iii), the test does not depend on whether the functional form is estimated or pre-specified. Small-sample properties of the tests are assessed by Monte Carlo simulation, and comparisons are made with the likelihood ratio test and other versions of LM test. The results show that the expected-information based LM test has the most appropriate finite-sample empirical sizeFunctional Form, Heterscedasticity, Lagrange Multiplier Test
