Quantum Weakly Nondeterministic Communication Complexity
We study the weakest model of quantum nondeterminism in which a classical
proof has to be checked with probability one by a quantum protocol. We show the
first separation between classical nondeterministic communication complexity
and this model of quantum nondeterministic communication complexity for a total
function. This separation is quadratic.Comment: 12 pages. v3: minor correction

Anomalous Lattice Response at the Mott Transition in a Quasi-2D Organic Conductor
Discontinuous changes of the lattice parameters at the Mott metal-insulator
transition are detected by high-resolution dilatometry on deuterated crystals
of the layered organic conductor -(BEDT-TTF)Cu[N(CN)]Br.
The uniaxial expansivities uncover a striking and unexpected anisotropy,
notably a zero-effect along the in-plane c-axis along which the electronic
interactions are relatively strong. A huge thermal expansion anomaly is
observed near the end-point of the first-order transition line enabling to
explore the critical behavior with very high sensitivity. The analysis yields
critical fluctuations with an exponent 0.8 0.15
at odds with the novel criticality recently proposed for these materials
[Kagawa \textit{et al.}, Nature \textbf{436}, 534 (2005)]. Our data suggest an
intricate role of the lattice degrees of freedom in the Mott transition for the
present materials.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure
Fundamental limitations in the purifications of tensor networks
We show a fundamental limitation in the description of quantum many-body
mixed states with tensor networks in purification form. Namely, we show that
there exist mixed states which can be represented as a translationally
invariant (TI) matrix product density operator (MPDO) valid for all system
sizes, but for which there does not exist a TI purification valid for all
system sizes. The proof is based on an undecidable problem and on the
uniqueness of canonical forms of matrix product states. The result also holds
for classical states.Comment: v1: 11 pages, 1 figure. v2: very minor changes. About to appear in
