Wave function collapses in a single spin magnetic resonance force microscopy
We study the effects of wave function collapses in the oscillating cantilever
driven adiabatic reversals (OSCAR) magnetic resonance force microscopy (MRFM)
technique. The quantum dynamics of the cantilever tip (CT) and the spin is
analyzed and simulated taking into account the magnetic noise on the spin. The
deviation of the spin from the direction of the effective magnetic field causes
a measurable shift of the frequency of the CT oscillations. We show that the
experimental study of this shift can reveal the information about the average
time interval between the consecutive collapses of the wave functionComment: 5 pages 2 figure
Shear and Vorticity in a Combined Einstein-Cartan-Brans-Dicke Inflationary Lambda-Universe
A combined BCDE (Brans-Dicke and Einstein-Cartan) theory with lambda-term is
developed through Raychaudhuri's equation, for inflationary scenario. It
involves a variable cosmological constant, which decreases with time, jointly
with energy density, cosmic pressure, shear, vorticity, and Hubble's parameter,
while the scale factor, total spin and scalar field increase exponentially. The
post-inflationary fluid resembles a perfect one, though total spin grows, but
the angular speed does not (Berman, 2007d). Keywords: Cosmology; Einstein;
Brans-Dicke; Cosmological term; Shear; Spin; Vorticity; Inflation;
Einstein-Cartan; Torsion. PACS: 04.20.-q ; 98.80.-k ; 98.80.Bp ; 98.80.JkComment: 8 pages including front one. Published versio
On the Machian Origin of Inertia
We examine Sciama's inertia theory: we generalise it, by combining rotation
and expansion in one unique model, we find the angular speed of the Universe,
and we stress that the theory is zero-total-energy valued. We compare with
other theories of the same null energy background. We determine the numerical
value of a constant which appears in the Machian inertial force expression
devised by Graneau and Graneau[2], by introducing the above angular speed. We
point out that this last theory is not restricted to Newtonian physics as those
authors stated but is, in fact, compatible with other cosmological and
gravitational theories. An argument by Berry[7] is shown in order to "derive"
Brans-Dicke relation in the present context.Comment: 10 pages including front one. New version was accepted to publication

A Quantum Full Adder for a Scalable Nuclear Spin Quantum Computer
We demonstrate a strategy for implementation a quantum full adder in a spin
chain quantum computer. As an example, we simulate a quantum full adder in a
chain containing 201 spins. Our simulations also demonstrate how one can
minimize errors generated by non-resonant effects.Comment: 15 pages RevTex including 2 figure
General Relativistic Singularity-Free Cosmological Model
We "explain", using a Classical approach, how the Universe was created out of
"nothing", i.e., with no input of initial energy nor mass. The inflationary
phase, with exponential expansion, is accounted for, automatically, by our
equation of state for the very early Universe. This is a Universe with
no-initial infinite singularity of energy density.Comment: Astrophysics and Space Science, 321,157 (2009
Entropy of the Universe
After a discussion on several limiting cases where General Relativity turns
into less sophisticated theories, we find that in the correct thermodynamical
and cosmological weak field limit of Einstein's field equations the entropy of
the Universe is R^(3/2) -- dependent, where R stands for the radius of the
causally related Universe. Thus, entropy grows in the Universe, contrary to
Standard Cosmology prediction.Comment: To be published by International Journal of Theoretical Physic
A General Relativistic Rotating Evolutionary Universe
We show that when we work with coordinate cosmic time, which is not proper
time, Robertson-Walker's metric, includes a possible rotational state of the
Universe. An exact formula for the angular speed and the temporal metric
coefficient, is found.Comment: 5 pages including front cover. Publishe
T-duality and non-geometric solutions from double geometry
Although the introduction of generalised and extended geometry has been
motivated mainly by the appearance of dualities upon reductions on tori, it has
until now been unclear how (all) the duality transformations arise from first
principles in extended geometry. A proposal for solving this problem is given
in the framework of double field theory. It is based on a clearly defined
extension of the definition of gauge symmetry by isometries of an underlying
pseudo-Riemannian manifold. The ensuing relation between transformations of
coordinates and fields, which is now derived from first principles, differs
from earlier proposals.Comment: 13 pp., plain te
Bergman kernels for weighted polynomials and weighted equilibrium measures of C^n
Various convergence results for the Bergman kernel of the Hilbert space of
all polynomials in \C^{n} of total degree at most k, equipped with a weighted
norm, are obtained. The weight function is assumed to be C^{1,1}, i.e. it is
differentiable and all of its first partial derivatives are locally Lipshitz
continuous. The convergence is studied in the large k limit and is expressed in
terms of the global equilibrium potential associated to the weight function, as
well as in terms of the Monge-Ampere measure of the weight function itself on a
certain set. A setting of polynomials associated to a given Newton polytope,
scaled by k, is also considered. These results apply directly to the study of
the distribution of zeroes of random polynomials and of the eigenvalues of
random normal matrices.Comment: v1: 11 pages v2: 19 pages. Substantial revision: regularity
