Wigner Formulation of Thermal Transport in Solids

Two different heat-transport mechanisms are discussed in solids. In crystals, heat carriers propagate and scatter particlelike as described by Peierls's formulation of the Boltzmann transport equation for phonon wave packets. In glasses, instead, carriers ...

Spatial Isolation Implies Zero Knowledge Even in a Quantum World

Alessandro Chiesa

Zero knowledge plays a central role in cryptography and complexity. The seminal work of Ben-Or et al. (STOC 1988) shows that zero knowledge can be achieved unconditionally for any language in NEXP, as long as one is willing to make a suitable physical assu ...

Wigner Measures and Coherent Quantum Control

Tudor Ratiu

We introduce Wigner measures for infinite-dimensional open quantum systems; important examples of such systems are encountered in quantum control theory. In addition, we propose an axiomatic definition of coherent quantum feedback. ...

Amplitude analysis of e(+)e(-) -> Upsilon(nS)pi(+)pi(-) at root s=10.866 GeV

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Jun Yong Kim, Ji Hyun Kim, Donghyun Kim, Dipanwita Dutta, Xiao Wang

We report results on studies of the e(+)e(-) annihilation into three-body Upsilon(nS)pi(+)pi(-) (n = 1, 2, 3) final states including measurements of cross sections and the full amplitude analysis. The cross sections measured at root s = 10.866 GeV and corr ...

Initial or final values for semiclassical evolutions in the Weyl–Wigner representation

David Eduardo Zambrano Ramirez

Initial value representations are constructed to avoid the search for trajectories that are only defined in semiclassical approximations by their boundary conditions. We show how to incorporate these procedures within the full Weyl representation, so that ...

A Framework for Numerical Simulations of Structure Formation

Claude Becker

In the absence of a full analytical treatment of nonlinear structure formation in the universe, numerical simulations provide the critical link between the properties of the underlying model and the features of the observed structures. Currently N-body sim ...

Bounds on the width, mass difference and other properties of X(3872) -> pi(+)pi(-) J/psi decays

Olivier Schneider, Yiming Li, Aurelio Bay, Mingkui Wang, Chao Wang, Tagir Aushev, Sun Hee Kim, Jun Yong Kim, Remi Léandre Albert Louvot, Ji Hyun Kim, Xiao Wang, Jing Li, Xuan Li

We present results from a study of X(3872) -> pi pi J/psi decays produced via exclusive B -> KX(3872) decays. We determine the mass to be M-X(3872) = (3871.85 +/- 0.27(stat) +/- 0.19(syst)) MeV, a 90% confidence level upper limit on the natural width of Ga ...

Brownian motion studied with an optical trap

Branimir Lukic

This thesis describes measurements of Brownian motion of a colloidal particle using optical trapping. Two aspects are investigated: (i) influence of inertial effects on Brownian motion, and (ii) effect of the optical trap on Brownian motion. The first part ...

Dephasing representation of quantum fidelity for general pure and mixed states

Jiri Vanicek

A general semiclassical expression for quantum fidelity (Loschmidt echo) of arbitrary pure and mixed states is derived. It expresses fidelity as an interference sum of dephasing trajectories weighed by the Wigner function of the initial state, and does not ...

Matrix-based analysis of digital images: application to goniophotometric measurements with variable referential

Marilyne Andersen

Digital video-based luminance mapping systems require the establishment of a precise relation between the considered spatial referential and the associated pixel coordinates on the image. Such a relation may vary with the measurement conditions, and an adj ...
