Entanglement Effect on Off-diagonal Geometric Phase
The effect of entanglement on off-diagonal geometric phases is investigated
in the paper. Two spin-1/2 particles in magnetic fields along the direction
are taken as an example. Three parameters (the purity of state , the mixing
angle and the relative phase ) are chosen to characterize the
initial states. The nodal points at which the usual geometric phases disappear
are calculated and illustrated as a function of the three parameters.Comment: final version; appearing in Europhys. Lett. 74, 757(2006
Berry's phase with quantized field driving: effects of inter-subsystem coupling
The effect of inter-subsystem couplings on the Berry phase of a composite
system as well as that of its subsystem is investigated in this paper. We
analyze two coupled spin- particles with one driven by a quantized
field as an example, the pure state geometric phase of the composite system as
well as the mixed state geometric phase for the subsystem is calculated and
discussed.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
Geometric Phase in Entangled Bipartite Systems
The geometric phase (GP) for bipartite systems in transverse external
magnetic fields is investigated in this paper. Two different situations have
been studied. We first consider two non-interacting particles. The results show
that because of entanglement, the geometric phase is very different from that
of the non-entangled case. When the initial state is a Werner state, the
geometric phase is, in general, zero and moreover the singularity of the
geometric phase may appear with a proper evolution time. We next study the
geometric phase when intra-couplings appear and choose Werner states as the
initial states to entail this discussion. The results show that unlike our
first case, the absolute value of the GP is not zero, and attains its maximum
when the rescaled coupling constant is less than 1. The effect of
inhomogeneity of the magnetic field is also discussed.Comment: 5 pages and to be published in Euro. Phys. J.
Ultra-broadband Light Absorption by a Sawtooth Anisotropic Metamaterial Slab
We present an ultra broadband thin-film infrared absorber made of saw-toothed
anisotropic metamaterial. Absorbtivity of higher than 95% at normal incidence
is supported in a wide range of frequencies, where the full absorption width at
half maximum is about 86%. Such property is retained well at a very wide range
of incident angles too. Light of shorter wavelengths are harvested at upper
parts of the sawteeth of smaller widths, while light of longer wavelengths are
trapped at lower parts of larger tooth widths. This phenomenon is explained by
the slowlight modes in anisotropic metamaterial waveguide. Our study can be
applied in the field of designing photovoltaic devices and thermal emitters.Comment: 12 pages, 4 picture
Measurement of the branching fractions of psi(2S) -> 3(pi+pi-) and J/psi -> 2(pi+pi-)
Using data samples collected at sqrt(s) = 3.686GeV and 3.650GeV by the BESII
detector at the BEPC, the branching fraction of psi(2S) -> 3(pi+pi-) is
measured to be [4.83 +- 0.38(stat) +- 0.69(syst)] x 10^-4, and the relative
branching fraction of J/psi -> 2(pi+pi-) to that of J/psi -> mu+mu- is measured
to be [5.86 +- 0.19(stat) +- 0.39(syst)]% via psi(2S) -> (pi+pi-)J/psi, J/psi
-> 2(pi+pi-). The electromagnetic form factor of 3(pi+pi-) is determined to be
0.21 +- 0.02 and 0.20 +- 0.01 at sqrt(s) = 3.686GeV and 3.650GeV, respectively.Comment: 17pages, 7 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.
Observation of p pbar pi^0 and p pbar eta in psi' decays
The processes psi'-->p pbar pi^0 and psi'-->p pbar eta are studied using a
sample of 14 million psi' decays collected with the Beijing Spectrometer at the
Beijing Electron-Positron Collider. The branching fraction of psi'-->p pbar
pi^0 is measured with improved precision as (13.2\pm 1.0\pm 1.5)\times 10^{-5},
and psi'-->p pbar eta is observed for the first time with a branching fraction
of (5.8\pm 1.1\pm 0.7)\times 10^{-5}, where the first errors are statistical
and the second ones are systematic.Comment: 15 pages, 8 figures and 3 table
Measurements of J/psi decays into phi pi^0, phi eta, and phi eta^prime
Based on 5.8x10^7 J/psi events detected in BESII, the branching fractions of
J/psi--> phi eta and phi eta^prime are measured for different eta and eta^prime
decay modes. The results are significantly higher than previous measurements.
An upper limit on B(J/psi--> phi pi^0) is also obtained.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figure
