Spin 1 inversion: a Majorana tensor force for deuteron alpha scattering
We demonstrate, for the first time, successful S-matrix to potential
inversion for spin one projectiles with non-diagonal yielding a
interaction. The method is a generalization of the
iterative-perturbative, IP, method. We present a test case indicating the
degree of uniqueness of the potential. The method is adapted, using established
procedures, into direct observable to potential inversion, fitting ,
, , and for d + alpha scattering over
a range of energies near 10 MeV. The interaction which we find is
very different from that proposed elsewhere, both real and imaginary parts
being very different for odd and even parity channels.Comment: 7 pages Revtex, 4 ps figure
Density waves and supersolidity in rapidly rotating atomic Fermi gases
We study theoretically the low-temperature phases of a two-component atomic
Fermi gas with attractive s-wave interactions under conditions of rapid
rotation. We find that, in the extreme quantum limit, when all particles occupy
the lowest Landau level, the normal state is unstable to the formation of
"charge" density wave (CDW) order. At lower rotation rates, when many Landau
levels are occupied, we show that the low-temperature phases can be
supersolids, involving both CDW and superconducting order.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, uses feynmp.st
2000-times repeated imaging of strontium atoms in clock-magic tweezer arrays
We demonstrate single-atom resolved imaging with a survival probability of
and a fidelity of , enabling us to perform repeated
high-fidelity imaging of single atoms in tweezers for thousands of times. We
further observe lifetimes under laser cooling of more than seven minutes, an
order of magnitude longer than in previous tweezer studies. Experiments are
performed with strontium atoms in tweezer arrays, which is at
a magic wavelength for the clock transition. Tuning to this wavelength is
enabled by off-magic Sisyphus cooling on the intercombination line, which lets
us choose the tweezer wavelength almost arbitrarily. We find that a single not
retro-reflected cooling beam in the radial direction is sufficient for
mitigating recoil heating during imaging. Moreover, this cooling technique
yields temperatures below K, as measured by release and recapture.
Finally, we demonstrate clock-state resolved detection with average survival
probability of and average state detection fidelity of .
Our work paves the way for atom-by-atom assembly of large defect-free arrays of
alkaline-earth atoms, in which repeated interrogation of the clock transition
is an imminent possibility.Comment: 6 pages, 5 figures, 1 vide
Optical sum rules that relate to the potential energy of strongly correlated systems
A class of sum rules for inelastic light scattering is developed. We show
that the first moment of the non-resonant response provides information about
the potential energy in strongly correlated systems. The polarization
dependence of the sum rules provide information about the electronic
excitations in different regions of the Brillouin zone. We determine the sum
rule for the Falicov-Kimball model, which possesses a metal-insulator
transition, and compare our results to the light scattering experiments in
SmB_6.Comment: (5 pages, 3 figures, typeset in ReVTeX
The Power of Two Choices in Distributed Voting
Distributed voting is a fundamental topic in distributed computing. In pull
voting, in each step every vertex chooses a neighbour uniformly at random, and
adopts its opinion. The voting is completed when all vertices hold the same
opinion. On many graph classes including regular graphs, pull voting requires
expected steps to complete, even if initially there are only two
distinct opinions.
In this paper we consider a related process which we call two-sample voting:
every vertex chooses two random neighbours in each step. If the opinions of
these neighbours coincide, then the vertex revises its opinion according to the
chosen sample. Otherwise, it keeps its own opinion. We consider the performance
of this process in the case where two different opinions reside on vertices of
some (arbitrary) sets and , respectively. Here, is the
number of vertices of the graph.
We show that there is a constant such that if the initial imbalance
between the two opinions is ?, then with high probability two sample voting completes in a random
regular graph in steps and the initial majority opinion wins. We
also show the same performance for any regular graph, if where is the second largest eigenvalue of the transition
matrix. In the graphs we consider, standard pull voting requires
steps, and the minority can still win with probability .Comment: 22 page
