    Population-only decay map for n-qubit n-partite inseparability detection

    Get PDF
    We introduce a new positive linear map for a single qubit. This map is a decay only in populations of a single-qubit density operator. It is shown that an n-fold product of this map may be used for a detection of n-partite inseparability of an n-qubit density operator (i.e., detection of impossibility of representing a density operator in the form of a convex combination of products of density operators of individual qubits). This product map is also investigated in relation to a variant of the entanglement detection method mentioned by Laskowski and Zukowski.Comment: 5 pages, 1 figure, RevTex4, v2 minor grammatical changes, typos correcte

    On conformal Jordan cells of finite and infinite rank

    Full text link
    This work concerns in part the construction of conformal Jordan cells of infinite rank and their reductions to conformal Jordan cells of finite rank. It is also discussed how a procedure similar to Lie algebra contractions may reduce a conformal Jordan cell of finite rank to one of lower rank. A conformal Jordan cell of rank one corresponds to a primary field. This offers a picture in which any finite conformal Jordan cell of a given conformal weight may be obtained from a universal covering cell of the same weight but infinite rank.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX, v2: typo corrected, comments added, version to be publishe

    Stress Energy tensor in LCFT and the Logarithmic Sugawara construction

    Get PDF
    We discuss the partners of the stress energy tensor and their structure in Logarithmic conformal field theories. In particular we draw attention to the fundamental differences between theories with zero and non-zero central charge. However they are both characterised by at least two independent parameters. We show how, by using a generalised Sugawara construction, one can calculate the logarithmic partner of T. We show that such a construction works in the c=-2 theory using the conformal dimension one primary currents which generate a logarithmic extension of the Kac-Moody algebra.Comment: 19 pages.

    Quantum process tomography with coherent states

    Full text link
    We develop an enhanced technique for characterizing quantum optical processes based on probing unknown quantum processes only with coherent states. Our method substantially improves the original proposal [M. Lobino et al., Science 322, 563 (2008)], which uses a filtered Glauber-Sudarshan decomposition to determine the effect of the process on an arbitrary state. We introduce a new relation between the action of a general quantum process on coherent state inputs and its action on an arbitrary quantum state. This relation eliminates the need to invoke the Glauber-Sudarshan representation for states; hence it dramatically simplifies the task of process identification and removes a potential source of error. The new relation also enables straightforward extensions of the method to multi-mode and non-trace-preserving processes. We illustrate our formalism with several examples, in which we derive analytic representations of several fundamental quantum optical processes in the Fock basis. In particular, we introduce photon-number cutoff as a reasonable physical resource limitation and address resource vs accuracy trade-off in practical applications. We show that the accuracy of process estimation scales inversely with the square root of photon-number cutoff.Comment: 18 pages, 2 figure

    Social Networking Individual vs. Crowd Behavior (Connected Intelligence)

    Full text link
    The study of Human behavior is much more complicated in various situations, especially on the spectrum of Social Networks. The study of individual behavior cannot be replicated for a group/crowd behavior which can have many social and behavioral dimensions. In the connected world where intelligence is shared among individuals and groups, there exists another kind of complexity which needs to be examined.The complexity of human behaviors as an individual or as a group on the social networks is much more versatile and erratic. The research work studies and analyzes these behaviors in a connected networked intelligent environment and as to how these behaviors are reflected towards Connected Intelligence. Consequently it defines how they can affect the intelligent analytical outcomes. Finally it comes up with a generic model which can be applied in any setup

    Interplay of packing and flip-flop in local bilayer deformation. How phosphatidylglycerol could rescue mitochondrial function in a cardiolipin-deficient yeast mutant

    Get PDF
    In a previous work, we have shown that a spatially localized transmembrane pH gradient, produced by acid micro-injection near the external side of cardiolipin-containing giant unilamellar vesicles, leads to the formation of tubules that retract after the dissipation of this gradient. These tubules have morphologies similar to mitochondrial cristae. The tubulation effect is due to direct phospholipid packing modification in the outer leaflet that is promoted by protonation of cardiolipin headgroups. Here we compare the case of cardiolipin-containing giant unilamellar vesicles with that of phosphatidylglycerol-containing giant unilamellar vesicles. Local acidification also promotes formation of tubules in the latter. However, compared to cardiolipin-containing giant unilamellar vesicles the tubules are longer, exhibit a visible pearling and have a much longer lifetime after acid micro-injection is stopped. We attribute these differences to an additional mechanism that increases monolayer surface imbalance, namely inward PG flip-flop promoted by the local transmembrane pH-gradient. Simulations using a fully non-linear membrane model as well as geometrical calculations are in agreement with this hypothesis. Interestingly, among yeast mutants deficient in cardiolipin biosynthesis, only the crd1-null mutant, which accumulates phosphatidylglycerol, displays significant mitochondrial activity. Our work provides a possible explanation of such a property and further emphasizes the salient role of specific lipids in mitochondrial function.Comment: 28 pages, 10 figure

    Origin of Logarithmic Operators in Conformal Field Theories

    Get PDF
    We study logarithmic operators in Coulomb gas models, and show that they occur when the ``puncture'' operator of the Liouville theory is included in the model. We also consider WZNW models for SL(2,R)SL(2,R), and for SU(2) at level 0, in which we find logarithmic operators which form Jordan blocks for the current as well as the Virasoro algebra.Comment: 22 pages Latex.

    Aquaponics system is a farming system which saving land use and improving the efficiency of nutrient utilization of residual feed and fish metabolism. This system is environmentally friendly fish farming. This research was aimed to measure the growth and survival rate of tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus) on the use of Aquaponics system with different plant species. The difference treatment consisted of four treatments and three repetitions which used plant kale, collards, lettuce and control. Research results for the 30 days of maintenance showed that the increase in the absolute highest weight value by 7.16 ± 0.94 g, the length was 4.53 ± 0.78 cm, the specific growth rate (SGR) was 2.36 ± 0.079 g / day and the survival rate of fish was 95 ± 5.00 % found in treatment plants using kale, while the lowest value was in the control treatment. ANOVA test results showed that the maintenance of the Aquaponics system with different plants did not significantly affect the growth of absolute weight, the length, the specific growth rate (SGR) and survival rates of tilapia agile (P> 0.05). The quality of water in all treatments generally described that the range were still running in tolerance limit and were not harmful to the growth of tilapia

    The objective of the present study was to analyze the effect of combination of horse manure fertilizers with fertilizer waste coffee leather towards growth and biomass production of Azolla microphylla as well as to analyze the protein contained in the A. microphylla. This research was conducted in the Unit Pelaksana Teknis Balai Benih Ikan Lukup Badak, Dinas Peternakan dan Perikanan, Kabupaten Aceh Tengah in February to March 2016.
