Hamiltonian tomography of dissipative systems under limited access: A biomimetic case study
The identification of parameters in the Hamiltonian that describes complex
many-body quantum systems is generally a very hard task. Recent attention has
focused on such problems of Hamiltonian tomography for networks constructed
with two-level systems. For open quantum systems, the fact that injected
signals are likely to decay before they accumulate sufficient information for
parameter estimation poses additional challenges. In this paper, we consider
use of the gateway approach to Hamiltonian tomography
\cite{Burgarth2009,Burgarth2009a} to complex quantum systems with a limited set
of state preparation and measurement probes. We classify graph properties of
networks for which the Hamiltonian may be estimated under equivalent conditions
on state preparation and measurement. We then examine the extent to which the
gateway approach may be applied to estimation of Hamiltonian parameters for
network graphs with non-trivial topologies mimicking biomolecular systems.Comment: 6 page

Indirect Hamiltonian Identification through a small gateway
Identifying the nature of interactions in a quantum system is essential in
understanding any physical phenomena. Acquiring information on the Hamiltonian
can be a tough challenge in many-body systems because it generally requires
access to all parts of the system. We show that if the coupling topology is
known, the Hamiltonian identification is indeed possible indirectly even though
only a small gateway to the system is used. Surprisingly, even a degenerate
Hamiltonian can be estimated by applying an extra field to the gateway.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure; see Video Abstract at

Indirect quantum tomography of quadratic Hamiltonians
A number of many-body problems can be formulated using Hamiltonians that are
quadratic in the creation and annihilation operators. Here, we show how such
quadratic Hamiltonians can be efficiently estimated indirectly, employing very
few resources. We find that almost all properties of the Hamiltonian are
determined by its surface, and that these properties can be measured even if
the system can only be initialised to a mixed state. Therefore our method can
be applied to various physical models, with important examples including
coupled nano-mechanical oscillators, hopping fermions in optical lattices, and
transverse Ising chains
Characterizing Communication Networks Associated with Political Hashtags.
Among the diverse forms of communication and information networks found in the Web 2.0 environment, âsocialâ and âinformationalâ communication networks have been characterized in terms of their network metrics. Although Twitter is partly based on relationships between actors, activity has been shown to reflect characteristics of
information networks. This study examines activity in Twitter within spaces defined by hashtags on political topics. We gathered our own data on a hashtag associated with the 2012 Hawaii senatorial race and compared our results to those from other political
hashtag networks, and to typical social and information networks as well as random graphs. Results show that hashtag-centered reply and retweet networks in this domain do not fall clearly into the social or informational categories. There appears to be a third kind of network associated with political debate. More generally, it may be productive to
conceive of communication networks in terms of multidimensional characteristics rather than categories
Estimation of coupling constants of a three-spin chain: a case study of Hamiltonian tomography with nuclear magnetic resonance
It has been shown that inter-spin interaction strengths in a spins-1/2 chain
can be evaluated by accessing one of the edge spins only. We demonstrate this
experimentally for the simplest case, a three-spin chain, with nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR) technique. The three spins in the chain interact through
nearest-neighbor Ising interactions under site-dependent transverse fields. The
employed molecule is an alanine containing three C nuclei, each of which
has spin-1/2.Comment: 7 pages, 18 figure
