    Chiral topological excitonic insulator in semiconductor quantum wells

    Full text link
    We present a scheme to realize the chiral topological excitonic insulator in semiconductor heterostructures which can be experimentally fabricated with a coupled quantum well adjacent to twoferromagnetic insulating films. The different mean-field chiral topological orders, which are due to the change in the directions of the magnetization of the ferromagnetic films, can be characterized by the TKNN numbers in the bulk system as well as by the winding numbers of the gapless states in the edged system. Furthermore, we propose an experimental scheme to detect the emergence of the chiral gapless edge state and distinguish different chiral topological orders by measuring the thermal conductance.Comment: 14 pages, 4 figure

    Search for the signal of monotop production at the early LHC

    Full text link
    We investigate the potential of the early LHC to discover the signal of monotops, which can be decay products of some resonances in models such as R-parity violating SUSY or SU(5), etc. We show how to constrain the parameter space of the models by the present data of ZZ boson hadronic decay branching ratio, K0K0ˉK^0-\bar{K^0} mixing and dijet productions at the LHC. Then, we study the various cuts imposed on the events, reconstructed from the hadronic final states, to suppress backgrounds and increase the significance in detail. And we find that in the hadronic mode the information from the missing transverse energy and reconstructed resonance mass distributions can be used to specify the masses of the resonance and the missing particle. Finally, we study the sensitivities to the parameters at the LHC with s\sqrt{s}=7 TeV and an integrated luminosity of 1fb11 {\rm fb}^{-1} in detail. Our results show that the early LHC may detect this signal at 5σ\sigma level for some regions of the parameter space allowed by the current data.Comment: 25 pages, 18 figures, 3 tables, version published in Phys.Rev.

    Experimental preparation and verification of quantum money

    Full text link
    A quantum money scheme enables a trusted bank to provide untrusted users with verifiable quantum banknotes that cannot be forged. In this work, we report an experimental demonstration of the preparation and verification of unforgeable quantum banknotes. We employ a security analysis that takes experimental imperfections fully into account. We measure a total of 3.6×1063.6\times 10^6 states in one verification round, limiting the forging probability to 10710^{-7} based on the security analysis. Our results demonstrate the feasibility of preparing and verifying quantum banknotes using currently available experimental techniques.Comment: 12 pages, 4 figure

    Aiming at the management of internal control of tendering and procurement in colleges and universities, learning from the management experience of internal control of tendering and procurement in domestic universities, based on the establishment of the tendering and procurement information management system, through sorting and optimization process, a SBMN internal control matrix based on rendering and procurement and processing was proposed. An internal control program based on the TFSP dimension was also developed, achieving real-time monitoring, risk assessment and early warning of abnormal activities of the rendering and procurement and processing in colleges and universities. Currently, this research have been applied to the tendering and procurement management system of domestic universities and achieved good results.Aiming at the management of internal control of tendering and procurement in colleges and universities, learning from the management experience of internal control of tendering and procurement in domestic universities, based on the establishment of the tendering and procurement information management system, through sorting and optimization process, a SBMN internal control matrix based on rendering and procurement and processing was proposed.

    Anomalous boundary correspondence of topological phases

    Full text link
    Topological phases protected by crystalline symmetries and internal symmetries are shown to enjoy fascinating one-to-one correspondence in classification. Here we investigate the physics content behind the abstract correspondence in three or higher-dimensional systems. We show correspondence between anomalous boundary states, which provides a new way to explore the quantum anomaly of symmetry from its crystalline equivalent counterpart. We show such correspondence directly in two scenarios, including the anomalous symmetry-enriched topological orders (SET) and critical surface states. (1) First of all, for the surface SET correspondence, we demonstrate it by considering examples involving time-reversal symmetry and mirror symmetry. We show that one 2D topological order can carry the time reversal anomaly as long as it can carry the mirror anomaly and vice versa, by directly establishing the mapping of the time reversal anomaly indicators and mirror anomaly indicators. Besides, we also consider other cases involving continuous symmetry, which leads us to introduce some new anomaly indicators for symmetry from its counterpart. (2) Furthermore, we also build up direct correspondence for (near) critical boundaries. Again taking topological phases protected by time reversal and mirror symmetry as examples, the direct correspondence of their (near) critical boundaries can be built up by coupled chain construction that was first proposed by Senthil and Fisher. The examples of critical boundary correspondence we consider in this paper can be understood in a unified framework that is related to \textit{hierarchy structure} of topological O(n)O(n) nonlinear sigma model, that generalizes the Haldane's derivation of O(3)O(3) sigma model from spin one-half system.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figure
