Unambiguous discrimination between two unknown qudit states
We consider the unambiguous discrimination between two unknown qudit states
in -dimensional () Hilbert space. By equivalence of unknown
pure states to known mixed states and with the Jordan-basis method, we
demonstrate that the optimal success probability of the discrimination between
two unknown states is independent of the dimension . We also give a scheme
for a physical implementation of the programmable state discriminator that
unambiguously discriminate between two unknown states with optimal probability
of success.Comment: 8 pages, 3 figure
On Isotropic Turbulence in the Dark Fluid Universe
As first part of this work, experimental information about the decay of
isotropic turbulence in ordinary hydrodynamics, u^2(t) proportional to
t^{-6/5}, is used as input in FRW equations in order to investigate how an
initial fraction f of turbulent kinetic energy in the cosmic fluid influences
the cosmological development in the late, quintessence/phantom, universe. First
order perturbative theory to the first order in f is employed. It turns out
that both in the Hubble factor, and in the energy density, the influence from
the turbulence fades away at late times. The divergences in these quantities
near the Big Rip behave essentially as in a non-turbulent fluid. However, for
the scale factor, the turbulence modification turns out to diverge
logarithmically. As second part of our work, we consider the full FRW equation
in which the turbulent part of the dark energy is accounted for by a separate
term. It is demonstrated that turbulence occurrence may change the future
universe evolution due to dissipation of dark energy. For instance,
phantom-dominated universe becomes asymptotically a de Sitter one in the
future, thus avoiding the Big Rip singularity.Comment: 10 pages, no figures, significant revision. Matches published versio
Observational constraint on generalized Chaplygin gas model
We investigate observational constraints on the generalized Chaplygin gas
(GCG) model as the unification of dark matter and dark energy from the latest
observational data: the Union SNe Ia data, the observational Hubble data, the
SDSS baryon acoustic peak and the five-year WMAP shift parameter. It is
obtained that the best fit values of the GCG model parameters with their
confidence level are ()
, ()
. Furthermore in this model, we can see that the
evolution of equation of state (EOS) for dark energy is similar to quiessence,
and its current best-fit value is with the confidence
level .Comment: 9 pages, 5 figure
Universal procedure to cure future singularities of dark energy models
A systematic search for different viable models of the dark energy universe,
all of which give rise to finite-time, future singularities, is undertaken,
with the purpose to try to find a solution to this common problem. After some
work, a universal procedure to cure all future singularities is developed and
carefully tested with the help of explicit examples corresponding to each one
of the four different types of possible singularities, as classified in the
literature. The cases of a fluid with an equation of state which depends on
some parameter, of modified gravity non-minimally coupled to a matter
Lagrangian, of non-local gravity, and of isotropic turbulence in a dark fluid
universe theory are investigated in detail
Combined constraints on modified Chaplygin gas model from cosmological observed data: Markov Chain Monte Carlo approach
We use the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to investigate a global
constraints on the modified Chaplygin gas (MCG) model as the unification of
dark matter and dark energy from the latest observational data: the Union2
dataset of type supernovae Ia (SNIa), the observational Hubble data (OHD), the
cluster X-ray gas mass fraction, the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO), and the
cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. In a flat universe, the constraint

Notes on dark energy interacting with dark matter and unparticle in loop quantum cosmology
We investigate the behavior of dark energy interacting with dark matter and
unparticle in the framework of loop quantum cosmology. In four toy models, we
study the interaction between the cosmic components by choosing different
coupling functions representing the interaction. We found that there are only
two attractor solutions namely dark energy dominated and dark matter dominated
Universe. The other two models are unstable, as they predict either a dark
energy filled Universe or one completely devoid of it.Comment: 9 pages, 10 figures. v2: Minor revisions, matches published versio
Does accelerating universe indicates Brans-Dicke theory
The evolution of universe in Brans-Dicke (BD) theory is discussed in this
paper.
Considering a parameterized scenario for BD scalar field
which plays the role of gravitational "constant" ,
we apply the Markov Chain Monte Carlo method to investigate a global
constraints on BD theory with a self-interacting potential according to the
current observational data: Union2 dataset of type supernovae Ia (SNIa),
high-redshift Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) data, observational Hubble data (OHD),
the cluster X-ray gas mass fraction, the baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO), and
the cosmic microwave background (CMB) data. It is shown that an expanded
universe from deceleration to acceleration is given in this theory, and the
constraint results of dimensionless matter density and parameter
are, and
which is consistent with the
result of current experiment exploration, . In
addition, we use the geometrical diagnostic method, jerk parameter , to
distinguish the BD theory and cosmological constant model in Einstein's theory
of general relativity.Comment: 16 pages, 3 figure
Screening of cosmological constant for De Sitter Universe in non-local gravity, phantom-divide crossing and finite-time future singularities
We investigate de Sitter solutions in non-local gravity as well as in
non-local gravity with Lagrange constraint multiplier. We examine a condition
to avoid a ghost and discuss a screening scenario for a cosmological constant
in de Sitter solutions. Furthermore, we explicitly demonstrate that three types
of the finite-time future singularities can occur in non-local gravity and
explore their properties. In addition, we evaluate the effective equation of
state for the universe and show that the late-time accelerating universe may be
effectively the quintessence, cosmological constant or phantom-like phases. In
particular, it is found that there is a case in which a crossing of the phantom
divide from the non-phantom (quintessence) phase to the phantom one can be
realized when a finite-time future singularity occurs. Moreover, it is
demonstrated that the addition of an term can cure the finite-time future
singularities in non-local gravity. It is also suggested that in the framework
of non-local gravity, adding an term leads to possible unification of the
early-time inflation with the late-time cosmic acceleration.Comment: 42 pages, no figure, version accepted for publication in General
