    Correlative light electron microscopy prefers single probes with stable performance in both optical and electron microscopy. Now researchers have shown how to harness gold nanoparticles featuring exceptional photostability and four-wave-mixing nonlinearity to realize a new correlation imaging approach

    Relativistic Theory of Infinite Statistics Fields

    Full text link
    Infinite statistics in which all representations of the symmetric group can occur is known as a special case of quon theory. However, the validity of relativistic quon theories is still in doubt. In this paper we prove that there exists a relativistic quantum field theory which allows interactions involving infinite statistics particles. We also give some consistency analysis of this theory such as conservation of statistics and Feynman rules.Comment: 7 pages, 3 figure

    The influence of Aharonov-Casher effect on the generalized Dirac oscillator in the cosmic string space-time

    Full text link
    In this manuscript we investigate the generalized Dirac oscillator in the simplest topological defect described by the cosmic string space-time under the effect of the external electromagnetic fields. The radial wave equation and energy eigenvalue of the Dirac oscillator considered as the Cornell potential function are derived via the Nikifornov-Uvarov method, we start with the initial analysis of the Aharonov-Casher frequency and phase, deficit angle, and potential parameters on energy spectrum. We also give two specific cases that Dirac oscillator with the Coulomb and Linear potential in this system. Note that the Coulomb strength N1 has non-negligible effect on the studied system

    Quantum Critical Spin-2 Chain with Emergent SU(3) Symmetry

    We study the quantum critical phase of a SU(2) symmetric spin-2 chain obtained from spin-2 bosons in a one-dimensional lattice. We obtain the scaling of the entanglement entropy and finite-size energies by exact diagonalization and density-matrix renormalization group methods. From the numerical results of the energy spectrum, central charge, and scaling dimension we identify the conformal field theory describing the whole critical phase to be the SU(3)1_1 Wess-Zumino-Witten model. We find that while in the whole critical phase the Hamiltonian is only SU(2) invariant, there is an emergent SU(3) symmetry in the thermodynamic limit

    No-reference Point Cloud Geometry Quality Assessment Based on Pairwise Rank Learning

    Full text link
    Objective geometry quality assessment of point clouds is essential to evaluate the performance of a wide range of point cloud-based solutions, such as denoising, simplification, reconstruction, and watermarking. Existing point cloud quality assessment (PCQA) methods dedicate to assigning absolute quality scores to distorted point clouds. Their performance is strongly reliant on the quality and quantity of subjective ground-truth scores for training, which are challenging to gather and have been shown to be imprecise, biased, and inconsistent. Furthermore, the majority of existing objective geometry quality assessment approaches are carried out by full-reference traditional metrics. So far, point-based no-reference geometry-only quality assessment techniques have not yet been investigated. This paper presents PRL-GQA, the first pairwise learning framework for no-reference geometry-only quality assessment of point clouds, to the best of our knowledge. The proposed PRL-GQA framework employs a siamese deep architecture, which takes as input a pair of point clouds and outputs their rank order. Each siamese architecture branch is a geometry quality assessment network (GQANet), which is designed to extract multi-scale quality-aware geometric features and output a quality index for the input point cloud. Then, based on the predicted quality indexes, a pairwise rank learning module is introduced to rank the relative quality of a pair of degraded point clouds.Extensive experiments demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed PRL-GQA framework. Furthermore, the results also show that the fine-tuned no-reference GQANet performs competitively when compared to existing full-reference geometry quality assessment metrics
