Evolution of Li, Be and B in the Galaxy
In this paper we study the production of Li, Be and B nuclei by Galactic
cosmic ray spallation processes. We include three kinds of processes: (i)
spallation by light cosmic rays impinging on interstellar CNO nuclei (direct
processes); (ii) spallation by CNO cosmic ray nuclei impinging on interstellar
p and 4He (inverse processes); and (iii) alpha-alpha fusion reactions. The
latter dominate the production of 6Li and 7Li. We calculate production rates
for a closed-box Galactic model, verifying the quadratic dependence of the Be
and B abundances for low values of Z. These are quite general results and are
known to disagree with observations. We then show that the multi-zone
multi-population model we used previously for other aspects of Galactic
evolution produces quite good agreement with the linear trend observed at low
metallicities without fine tuning. We argue that reported discrepancies between
theory and observations do not represent a nucleosynthetic problem, but instead
are the consequences of inaccurate treatments of Galactic evolution.Comment: 26 pages, 5 figures, LaTeX. The Astrophysical Journal, in pres

How Events Come Into Being: EEQT, Particle Tracks, Quantum Chaos, and Tunneling Time
In sections 1 and 2 we review Event Enhanced Quantum Theory (EEQT). In
section 3 we discuss applications of EEQT to tunneling time, and compare its
quantitative predictions with other approaches, in particular with
B\"uttiker-Larmor and Bohm trajectory approach. In section 4 we discuss quantum
chaos and quantum fractals resulting from simultaneous continuous monitoring of
several non-commuting observables. In particular we show self-similar,
non-linear, iterated function system-type, patterns arising from quantum jumps
and from the associated Markov operator. Concluding remarks pointing to
possible future development of EEQT are given in section 5.Comment: latex, 27 pages, 7 postscript figures. Paper submitted to Proc.

Epistemic and Ontic Quantum Realities
Quantum theory has provoked intense discussions about its interpretation since its pioneer days. One of the few scientists who have been continuously engaged in this development from both physical and philosophical perspectives is Carl Friedrich von Weizsaecker. The questions he posed were and are inspiring for many, including the authors of this contribution. Weizsaecker developed Bohr's view of quantum theory as a theory of knowledge. We show that such an epistemic perspective can be consistently complemented by Einstein's ontically oriented position
A Complexity Measure for Continuous Time Quantum Algorithms
We consider unitary dynamical evolutions on n qubits caused by time dependent
pair-interaction Hamiltonians and show that the running time of a parallelized
two-qubit gate network simulating the evolution is given by the time integral
over the chromatic index of the interaction graph. This defines a complexity
measure of continuous and discrete quantum algorithms which are in exact
one-to-one correspondence. Furthermore we prove a lower bound on the growth of
large-scale entanglement depending on the chromatic index.Comment: 6 pages, Revte
Optimized time-dependent perturbation theory for pulse-driven quantum dynamics in atomic or molecular systems
We present a time-dependent perturbative approach adapted to the treatment of
intense pulsed interactions. We show there is a freedom in choosing secular
terms and use it to optimize the accuracy of the approximation. We apply this
formulation to a unitary superconvergent technique and improve the accuracy by
several orders of magnitude with respect to the Magnus expansion.Comment: 4 pages, 2 figure
Resonances, Unstable Systems and Irreversibility: Matter Meets Mind
The fundamental time-reversal invariance of dynamical systems can be broken
in various ways. One way is based on the presence of resonances and their
interactions giving rise to unstable dynamical systems, leading to well-defined
time arrows. Associated with these time arrows are semigroups bearing time
orientations. Usually, when time symmetry is broken, two time-oriented
semigroups result, one directed toward the future and one directed toward the
past. If time-reversed states and evolutions are excluded due to resonances,
then the status of these states and their associated backwards-in-time oriented
semigroups is open to question. One possible role for these latter states and
semigroups is as an abstract representation of mental systems as opposed to
material systems. The beginnings of this interpretation will be sketched.Comment: 9 pages. Presented at the CFIF Workshop on TimeAsymmetric Quantum

Fragility of a class of highly entangled states of many quantum-bits
We consider a Quantum Computer with n quantum-bits (`qubits'), where each
qubit is coupled independently to an environment affecting the state in a
dephasing or depolarizing way. For mixed states we suggest a quantification for
the property of showing {\it quantum} uncertainty on the macroscopic level. We
illustrate in which sense a large parameter can be seen as an indicator for
large entanglement and give hypersurfaces enclosing the set of separable
states. Using methods of the classical theory of maximum likelihood estimation
we prove that this parameter is decreasing with 1/\sqrt{n} for all those states
which have been exposed to the environment.
Furthermore we consider a Quantum Computer with perfect 1-qubit gates and
2-qubit gates with depolarizing error and show that any state which can be
obtained from a separable initial state lies inbetween a family of pairs of
certain hypersurfaces parallel to those enclosing the separable ones.Comment: 9 Pages, RevTe
