Four-state rock-paper-scissors games on constrained Newman-Watts networks
We study the cyclic dominance of three species in two-dimensional constrained
Newman-Watts networks with a four-state variant of the rock-paper-scissors
game. By limiting the maximal connection distance in Newman-Watts
networks with the long-rang connection probability , we depict more
realistically the stochastic interactions among species within ecosystems. When
we fix mobility and vary the value of or , the Monte Carlo
simulations show that the spiral waves grow in size, and the system becomes
unstable and biodiversity is lost with increasing or . These
results are similar to recent results of Reichenbach \textit{et al.} [Nature
(London) \textbf{448}, 1046 (2007)], in which they increase the mobility only
without including long-range interactions. We compared extinctions with or
without long-range connections and computed spatial correlation functions and
correlation length. We conclude that long-range connections could improve the
mobility of species, drastically changing their crossover to extinction and
making the system more unstable.Comment: 6 pages, 7 figure
The Schrodinger-like Equation for a Nonrelativistic Electron in a Photon Field of Arbitrary Intensity
The ordinary Schrodinger equation with minimal coupling for a nonrelativistic
electron interacting with a single-mode photon field is not satisfied by the
nonrelativistic limit of the exact solutions to the corresponding Dirac
equation. A Schrodinger-like equation valid for arbitrary photon intensity is
derived from the Dirac equation without the weak-field assumption. The
"eigenvalue" in the new equation is an operator in a Cartan subalgebra. An
approximation consistent with the nonrelativistic energy level derived from its
relativistic value replaces the "eigenvalue" operator by an ordinary number,
recovering the ordinary Schrodinger eigenvalue equation used in the formal
scattering formalism. The Schrodinger-like equation for the multimode case is
also presented.Comment: Tex file, 13 pages, no figur
High pressure effect on structure, electronic structure and thermoelectric properties of MoS
We systematically study the effect of high pressure on the structure,
electronic structure and transport properties of 2H-MoS, based on
first-principles density functional calculations and the Boltzmann transport
theory. Our calculation shows a vanishing anisotropy in the rate of structural
change at around 25 GPa, in agreement with the experimental data. A conversion
from van der Waals(vdW) to covalent-like bonding is seen. Concurrently, a
transition from semiconductor to metal occurs at 25 GPa from band structure
calculation. Our transport calculations also find pressure-enhanced electrical
conductivities and significant values of the thermoelectric figure of merit
over a wide temperature range. Our study supplies a new route to improve the
thermoelectric performance of MoS and of other transition metal
dichalcogenides by applying hydrostatic pressure.Comment: 6 pages, 6 figures; published in JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS 113, xxxx

State estimation from pair of conjugate qudits
We show that, for parallel input states, an anti-linear map with respect
to a specific basis is essentially a classical operator. We also consider the
information contained in phase-conjugate pairs , and prove
that there is more information about a quantum state encoded in phase-conjugate
pairs than in parallel pairs.Comment: 4 pages, 1 tabl
Realization of All-or-nothing-type Kochen-Specker Experiment with Single Photons
Using the spontaneous parametric down-conversion process in a type-I phase
matching BBO crystal as single photon source, we perform an all-or-nothing-type
Kochen-Specker experiment proposed by Simon \QTR{it}{et al}. [Phys. Rev. Lett.
\QTR{bf}{85}, 1783 (2000)] to verify whether noncontextual hidden variables or
quantum mechanics is right. The results strongly agree with quantum mechanics.Comment: 3 figure
Comment on "Quantum key distribution without alternative measurements"
In a recent paper [A. Cabello, Phys. Rev. A 61, 052312 (2000)], a quantum key
distribution protocol based on entanglement swapping was proposed. However, in
this comment, it is shown that this protocol is insecure if Eve use a special
strategy to attack.Comment: 2 Pages, 1 Figur
