A study of the parity-odd nucleon-nucleon potential
We investigate the parity-violating nucleon-nucleon potential as obtained in
chiral effective field theory. By using resonance saturation we compare the
chiral potential to the more traditional one-meson exchange potential. In
particular, we show how parameters appearing in the different approaches can be
compared with each other and demonstrate that analyses of parity violation in
proton-proton scattering within the different approaches are in good agreement.
In the second part of this work, we extend the parity-violating potential to
next-to-next-to-leading order. We show that generally it includes both
one-pion- and two-pion-exchange corrections, but the former play no significant
role. The two-pion-exchange corrections depend on five new low-energy constants
which only become important if the leading-order weak pion-nucleon constant
turns out to be very small.Comment: Published versio
Spin and Current Variations in Josephson Junctions
We study the dynamics of a single spin embedded in the tunneling barrier
between two superconductors. As a consequence of pair correlations in the
superconducting state, the spin displays rich and unusual dynamics. To properly
describe the time evolution of the spin we derive the effective Keldysh action
for the spin. The superconducting correlations lead to an effective spin
action, which is non-local in time, leading to unconventional precession. We
further illustrate how the current is modulated by this novel spin dynamics
Spin Susceptibility of a 2D Electron System in GaAs towards the Weak Interaction Region
We determine the spin susceptibility in the weak interaction regime of
a tunable, high quality, two-dimensional electron system in a GaAs/AlGaAs
heterostructure. The band structure effects, modifying mass and g-factor, are
carefully taken into accounts since they become appreciable for the large
electron densities of the weak interaction regime. When properly normalized,
decreases monotonically from 3 to 1.1 with increasing density over our
experimental range from 0.1 to . In the high density
limit, tends correctly towards and compare well with recent
theory.Comment: Submitted to Physical Review
Spin entanglement induced by spin-orbit interactions in coupled quantum dots
We theoretically explore the possibility of creating spin quantum
entanglement in a system of two electrons confined respectively in two
vertically coupled quantum dots in the presence of Rashba type spin-orbit
coupling. We find that the system can be described by a generalized Jaynes -
Cummings model of two modes bosons interacting with two spins. The lower
excitation states of this model are calculated to reveal the underlying physics
of the far infrared absorption spectra. The analytic perturbation approach
shows that an effective transverse coupling of spins can be obtained by
eliminating the orbital degrees of freedom in the large detuning limit. Here,
the orbital degrees of freedom of the two electrons, which are described by two
modes of bosons, serve as a quantized data bus to exchange the quantum
information between two electrons. Then a nontrivial two-qubit logic gate is
realized and spin entanglement between the two electrons is created by virtue
of spin-orbit coupling.Comment: 7 pages, 5 figure
