Distinguishing between SUSY and Littlest Higgs Model using trileptons at the LHC

Littlest Higgs model with T-parity and Minimal Supersymmtric standard Model with R-parity both give similar signatures in collider experiment with a huge amount of missing energy depending upon mass of the lightest T-odd/R-odd particle. In this talk, I will discuss possibility of distinguishing the two models at the LHC in hadronically quiet signal where masses of R-odd particles are identical to masses of T-odd particles.Comment: To appear in the proceedings of Supersymmetry and the Unification of Fundamental Interactions (SUSY'09), Boston, US

Quantum seals

A quantum seal is a way of encoding a message into quantum states, so that anybody may read the message with little error, while authorized verifiers can detect that the seal has been broken. We present a simple extension to the Bechmann-Pasquinucci majority-voting scheme that is impervious to coherent attacks, and further, encompasses sealing quantum messages by means of quantum encryption. The scheme is relatively easy to implement, requiring neither entanglement nor controlled operations during the state preparation, reading or verification stages.Comment: To appear in Physica Scripta, 4 page
