Generalized uncertainty relations and coherent and squeezed states
Characteristic uncertainty relations and their related squeezed states are
briefly reviewed and compared in accordance with the generalizations of three
equivalent definitions of the canonical coherent states. The standard SU(1,1)
coherent states are shown to be the unique states that minimize the
Schroedinger uncertainty relation for every pair of the three generators and
the Robertson relation for the three generators. The characteristic uncertainty
inequalities are naturally extended to the case of several states. It is shown
that these inequalities can be written in the equivalent complementary form.Comment: 14 pages, two columns revtex, no figure
Dialectica Interpretation with Marked Counterexamples
Goedel's functional "Dialectica" interpretation can be used to extract
functional programs from non-constructive proofs in arithmetic by employing two
sorts of higher-order witnessing terms: positive realisers and negative
counterexamples. In the original interpretation decidability of atoms is
required to compute the correct counterexample from a set of candidates. When
combined with recursion, this choice needs to be made for every step in the
extracted program, however, in some special cases the decision on negative
witnesses can be calculated only once. We present a variant of the
interpretation in which the time complexity of extracted programs can be
improved by marking the chosen witness and thus avoiding recomputation. The
achieved effect is similar to using an abortive control operator to interpret
computational content of non-constructive principles.Comment: In Proceedings CL&C 2010, arXiv:1101.520
Real-time High Resolution Fusion of Depth Maps on GPU
A system for live high quality surface reconstruction using a single moving
depth camera on a commodity hardware is presented. High accuracy and real-time
frame rate is achieved by utilizing graphics hardware computing capabilities
via OpenCL and by using sparse data structure for volumetric surface
representation. Depth sensor pose is estimated by combining serial texture
registration algorithm with iterative closest points algorithm (ICP) aligning
obtained depth map to the estimated scene model. Aligned surface is then fused
into the scene. Kalman filter is used to improve fusion quality. Truncated
signed distance function (TSDF) stored as block-based sparse buffer is used to
represent surface. Use of sparse data structure greatly increases accuracy of
scanned surfaces and maximum scanning area. Traditional GPU implementation of
volumetric rendering and fusion algorithms were modified to exploit sparsity to
achieve desired performance. Incorporation of texture registration for sensor
pose estimation and Kalman filter for measurement integration improved accuracy
and robustness of scanning process
Efficient Interpolation in the Guruswami-Sudan Algorithm
A novel algorithm is proposed for the interpolation step of the
Guruswami-Sudan list decoding algorithm. The proposed method is based on the
binary exponentiation algorithm, and can be considered as an extension of the
Lee-O'Sullivan algorithm. The algorithm is shown to achieve both asymptotical
and practical performance gain compared to the case of iterative interpolation
algorithm. Further complexity reduction is achieved by integrating the proposed
method with re-encoding. The key contribution of the paper, which enables the
complexity reduction, is a novel randomized ideal multiplication algorithm.Comment: Submitted to IEEE Transactions on Information Theor
Comment on "On the uncertainty relations and squeezed states for the quantum mechanics on a circle"
It is shown by examples that the position uncertainty on a circle, proposed
recently by Kowalski and Rembieli\'nski [J. Phys. A 35 (2002) 1405] is not
consistent with the state localization. We argue that the relevant
uncertainties and uncertainty relations (UR's) on a circle are that based on
the Gram-Robertson matrix. Several of these generalized UR's are displayed and
related criterions for squeezed states are discussed.Comment: 5 pages, LaTex2e, 3 figures.ep
Remarks on the Extended Characteristic Uncertainty Relations
Three remarks concerning the form and the range of validity of the
state-extended characteristic uncertainty relations (URs) are presented. A more
general definition of the uncertainty matrix for pure and mixed states is
suggested. Some new URs are provided.Comment: LaTex, 4 pages, no figure
On the squeezed states for n observables
Three basic properties (eigenstate, orbit and intelligence) of the canonical
squeezed states (SS) are extended to the case of arbitrary n observables. The
SS for n observables X_i can be constructed as eigenstates of their linear
complex combinations or as states which minimize the Robertson uncertainty
relation. When X_i close a Lie algebra L the generalized SS could also be
introduced as orbit of Aut(L^C). It is shown that for the nilpotent algebra h_N
the three generalizations are equivalent. For the simple su(1,1) the family of
eigenstates of uK_- + vK_+ (K_\pm being lowering and raising operators) is a
family of ideal K_1-K_2 SS, but it cannot be represented as an Aut(su^C(1,1))
orbit although the SU(1,1) group related coherent states (CS) with symmetry are
contained in it.
Eigenstates |z,u,v,w;k> of general combination uK_- + vK_+ + wK_3 of the
three generators K_j of SU(1,1) in the representations with Bargman index k =
1/2,1, ..., and k = 1/4,3/4 are constructed and discussed in greater detail.
These are ideal SS for K_{1,2,3}. In the case of the one mode realization of
su(1,1) the nonclassical properties (sub-Poissonian statistics, quadrature
squeezing) of the generalized even CS |z,u,v;+> are demonstrated. The states
|z,u,v,w;k=1/4,3/4> can exhibit strong both linear and quadratic squeezing.Comment: 25 pages, LaTex, 4 .pic and .ps figures. Improvements in text,
