Gravitational Wave Polarization Detection with Tetrahedron Constellation of Gravitational Wave Observatory

For the first time, we have introduced the Tetrahedron Constellation of Gravitational Wave Observatory (TEGO) composed of four identical spacecrafts (S/Cs). The laser telescopes and their pointing structures are mounted on the S/C platform and are evenly distributed at three locations 120 degrees apart. These structures form automatically a stable mass center for the platform. The time delay interferometry (TDI) are used to suppress the frequency noise of Gravitational Wave (GW) detector. The unequal arm Michelson TDI configuration and the Sagnac TDI configuration are equally effective at eliminating the laser frequency noise based on the TEGO configuration. Furthermore, comparing to the configurations of LISA, Taiji, and TianQin, the TEGO has more combinations of optical paths in its TDI system sensitive to GW signals. The six arms of TEGO are simultaneously sensitive to the six polarization modes of GWs. The sensitivity implies that GW modes beyond the predictions of general relativity (GR) can be detected directly. For instance, a scalar longitudinal mode of GWs, which is not predicted by GR, has been identified as a dominant polarization component. This mode is found to be evident in the response amplitudes of the TEGO arms, such as between S/C1 and S/C4, and S/C3 and S/C4, at certain orbital positions.

Two-loop electroweak corrections to the Higgs boson rare decay process $H\to Zγ$

Recently, the ATLAS and CMS collaborations jointly announced the first evidence of the rare Higgs boson decay channel $H\to Zγ$, with a ratio of $2.2\pm 0.7$ times the leading order standard model (SM) prediction. In order to face this challenge, it is urgent to produce an even more accurate calculation within the SM. To this end, we calculate in this paper the next-to-leading order (NLO) electroweak (EW) corrections to the $H\to Zγ$ process, in which the NLO quantum chromodynamics (QCD) corrections were found tiny. Our calculation finds that the inclusion of NLO EW corrections greatly enhances the prediction reliability. To tame the theoretical uncertainty, we adopt five different renormalization schemes. Combining our result with previous NLO QCD corrections and the signal-background interference, we conclude that the excess in $H\to Zγ$ cannot be explained within the SM. In fact, the incompatibility between the SM prediction and the LHC measurement of the concerned process is exacerbated upon considering the higher order EW corrections, which implies that something beyond the SM could be involved.

Hyperon semileptonic decays in QCD sum rules

We investigate the hyperon semileptonic decays within the framework of QCD sum rules. The flavor $ SU(3) $ symmetry breaking effects are analyzed via the relevant form factors and corresponding branching fractions. Employing the $ z $-series parameterization to capture the $ q^2 $ dependence of form factors, we calculate the hyperon semileptonic decay rates and confront them with the recent experimental measurements. Moreover, we calculate as well the non-standard tensor form factors, which involve certain new physics beyond the standard model.

NLO corrections to $J/ψ+c+\bar{c}$ photoproduction

Based on the factorization framework of nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics, we study the associated $J/ψ+c+\bar{c}$ photoproduction process at next-to-leading order in $α_s$ and leading order in the velocity expansion. The total cross section and differential cross section in $p_T^2$, $W$ and $z$ are presented. The results indicate that the next-to-leading order corrections are substantial, and testable in experiment.

Sky location of Galactic white dwarf binaries in space-based gravitational wave detection

Quickly localizing the identified white dwarf (WD) binaries is the basic requirement for the space-based gravitational wave (GW) detection. In fact, the amplitude of GW signals are modulated by the periodic motion of GW detectors on the solar orbit. The intensity of the observed signals is enhanced according to the observation time beyond a year to enhance a high signal to noise ratio (SNR). As data gap exists, the completeness of the data observed for a long time depends on filling gaps in the data. Actually, in a year period, the GW sources have a best observation orbit position of GW detectors, where the detector response intensity of GW is maximum. Thus, the best positions, where the direction of GW source is perpendicular to the detection arms, can be searched for the verified GW sources of the sky map to enhance SNR too. For the three arms response intensity of the GW signals changing more clearly with the location of the GW sources relative to the detector, the noises and the suppression of noise by time delay interferometer are ignored. In the four chosen sources, the two verification WD binaries: J0806 and V407 Vul are observed at the best orbit positions by TAIJI for the short time of 2 and 3 days respectively. The intensities of those GWs are above the values of the TAIJI sensitivity curve, significantly. Compared with a single detector, the network of two detectors does not significantly improve the accuracy of location of the verification binaries. These results imply that the searching of GW signals and parameter estimation of GW sources from the experimental data of the space-based mission do not ignore the orbit positions relevant to GW sources.

Hunting for sterile neutrino with future collider signatures

We study the feasibility to observe sterile neutrino at the high energy colliders with direct production channels through $e^+e^-$, $ep$ collision, and indirect production channels through decays of heavy meson, baryon and Higgs. For $e^+e^-$ collision, the $e^+e^-\to\barν_e N$ channel is explored with new signal selection method which tends to be efficient for light $m_N$, the constraints of active-sterile mixing $|U_{eN}|^2$ at the SuperKEKB, CEPC and ILC are expected to reach better lower limits than current experiments. For $ep$ collision, We investigate the heavy sterile neutrino production through a new channel via proton bremsstrahlung, i.e., $e^-γ\to NW^-$, hundreds of GeV heavy sterile neutrino can be probe and new limit on mixing is given. For heavy hadrons decay, the lepton-number-violating decays of $Λ_c,\ Ξ_{c},\ Ξ_{cc}$ and $Λ_b$ are explored via an intermediate on-shell Majorana neutrino in GeV scale. The branching fractions and the constraints for $|U_{\ell N}|^2$ are given, and hence may put new limits on this mass region. The ${\rm Higgs} \to Wμμπ$ channel is also considered to test massive neutrino within Higgs sector.

NLO QCD corrections to the $B_c$-pair hadroproduction

The $B_c$ meson pair, including pairs of pseudoscalar states and vector states, productions in proton-proton collisions are investigated at the next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy in the nonrelativistic quantum chromodynamics factorization formalism. The corresponding cross sections at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) with $\sqrt{s}=14\; \text{TeV}$ are evaluated. Numerical results indicate that the NLO corrections are substantial, and even dominate over the leading order contributions. Considering the predicted cross sections are sizable, the $B_c$-pair production is expected to be observable at the High-Luminosity LHC experiment.

Probing a hybrid channel for the dynamics of non-local features

Effective information transmission is a central element in quantum information protocols, but the quest for optimal efficiency in channels with symmetrical characteristics remains a prominent challenge in quantum information science. In light of this challenge, we introduce a hybrid channel that encompasses thermal, magnetic, and local components, each simultaneously endowed with characteristics that enhance and diminish quantum correlations. To investigate the symmetry of this hybrid channel, we explore the quantum correlations of a simple two-qubit Heisenberg spin state, quantified using measures such as negativity, $\ell_1$-norm coherence, entropic uncertainty, and entropy functions. Our findings reveal that the hybrid channel can be adeptly tailored to preserve quantum correlations, surpassing the capabilities of its individual components. We also identify optimal parameterizations to attain maximum entanglement from mixed-entangled/separable states, even in the presence of local dephasing. Notably, various parameters and quantum features, including non-Markovianity, exhibit distinct behaviors in the context of this hybrid channel. Ultimately, we discuss potential experimental applications of this configuration.

$ Λ_c $ semileptonic decays

Motivated by the recent experimental progress in the $ Λ_c $ decay that contains a neutron in the final state, we analyze the semileptonic decay $ Λ_c \rightarrow n \ell ν_\ell $ in the framework of QCD sum rules. The transition form factors are analytically computed using three-point correlation functions and the Cutkosky cutting rules, which can be extrapolated into the physical region by employing the $ z $-series parametrization. The branching fractions of $ Λ_c \rightarrow n e^+ ν_e $ and $ Λ_c \rightarrow n μ^+ ν_μ $ are estimated to be $ (0.281\pm 0.056)\%$ and $ (0.275\pm 0.055)\% $, respectively. Furthermore, we calculate as well the relevant decay asymmetry observables sensitive to new physics beyond the standard model. The numerical results of semileptonic decays $ Λ_c \rightarrow Λ\ell ν_\ell $ are also given and confronted to the latest experimental data.

Polygamy relation of quantum correlations with equality

We provide a generalized definition of polygamy relations for any quantum correlation measures. Instead of the usual polygamy inequality, a polygamy relation with equality is given by introducing the polygamy weight. From the polygamy relation with equality, we present polygamy inequalities satisfied by the $β$th $(β>0)$ power of the quantum correlation measures. Taking concurrence of assistance as an example, we further illustrate the significance and advantages of these relations. We also obtain a polygamy relation with equality by considering the one-to-group entanglements for any quantum entanglement measures that do not satisfy the polygamy relations. We demonstrate that such relations for tripartite states can be generalized to multipartite systems.

An Effective Way of Characterizing the Quantum Nonlocality

Nonlocality is a distinctive feature of quantum theory, which has been extensively studied for decades. It is found that the uncertainty principle determines the nonlocality of quantum mechanics. Here we show that various degrees of nonlocalities in correlated system can be characterized by the generalized uncertainty principle, by which the complementarity is attributed to the mutual dependence of observables. Concrete examples for different kinds of non-classical phenomena pertaining to different orders of dependence are presented. We obtain the third order ``skewness nonlocality'', and find that the Bell nonlocality turns out to be merely the second order ``variance nonlocality'' and the forth order dependence contains the commutator squares, which hence is related to the quantum contextuality. More applications of the generalized uncertainty principle are expected.

Generalized Wigner-Yanase Skew Information and the Affiliated Inequality

A family of skew information quantities is obtained, in which the well-known Wigner-Yanase skew information and quantum Fisher information stand as special cases. A transparent proof of convexity of the generalized skew information is given, implying a simple proof of the Wigner-Yanase-Dyson conjecture. We find in this work an exact skew information inequality for qubit system, which may regard as the information counterpart of the uncertainty relation. A lower bound for generalized skew information of a pair of incompatible observables in arbitrary dimension and also the upper bound for qubit system are achieved.

Test of macroscopic realism with coherent light

Macro-realism is a fundamental feature of classical world that contradicts with the quantum theory. An elegant method of testing macrorealism is to apply the Leggett-Garg inequality (LGI), but the non-invasivity of measurement is challenging in practice. In this work, we report the LGI violation of path observable in a composite interference experiment with coherent light. Experiment results confirm the occurrence of destructive interference providing per se as evidence of macro-realism violation. And by using an exact weak measurement model in the present experiment, the advantage that the violation of realism is independent of the invasive strength allows the realization of direct measurement and strengthens the persuasion of verification at the macroscopic scale.

Concurrence triangle induced genuine multipartite entanglement measure

We study the quantification of genuine multipartite entanglement (GME) for general multipartite states. A set of inequalities satisfied by the entanglement of $N$-partite pure states is derived by exploiting the restrictions on entanglement distributions, showing that the bipartite entanglement between each part and its remaining ones cannot exceed the sum of the other partners with their remaining ones. Then a series of triangles, named concurrence triangles, are established corresponding to these inequalities. Proper genuine multipartite entanglement measures are thus constructed by using the geometric mean area of these concurrence triangles, which are non-increasing under local operation and classical communication. The GME measures classify which parts are separable or entangled with the rest ones for non genuine entangled pure states. The GME measures for mixed states are given via the convex roof construction, and a witness to detect the GME of multipartite mixed states is presented by an approach based on state purifications. Detailed examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of our GME measures.

Gluonic nature of the newly observed state $X(2600)$

Motivated by the newly observed resonance $X(2600)$ by BESIII Collaboration, we examine the trigluon glueball interpretation for it in the framework of QCD sum rules. We evaluate the mass spectra of the trigluon glueballs with quantum numbers $0^{-+}$ and $2^{-+}$ up to dimension 8 condensate in the operator product expansion. Our numerical results indicate that the mass of the $2^{-+}$ trigluon glueball is about $2.66\pm 0.06$ GeV, which is consistent with the mass of the X(2600) within the uncertainties, while $0^{-+}$ has a mass of $2.01\pm0.14$ GeV. The possible decay channels of the $2^{-+}$ state are analyzed, which are crucial in decoding $X(2600)$'s internal structure and are hopefully measurable in BESIII, BEllEII, PANDA, and LHCb experiments.

Possible structure of the newly found exotic state $η_1(1855)$

Recently, a hadronic state named $η_1(1855)$, about 1.86 GeV, was observed in the BESIII experiment. This finding has a peculiar interest due to its exotic quantum number $J^{PC}=1^{-+}$. In this paper, we examine the tetraquark interpretation for the structure of $η_1(1855)$ in the configurations of $[1_c]_{\bar{s}s}\otimes[1_c]_{\bar{q}q}$ and $[1_c]_{\bar{s}q}\otimes[1_c]_{\bar{s}q}$, and perform a mass spectrum calculation in the framework of QCD sum rules. The results show that the observed $η_1(1855)$ could be embedded into the $[1_c]_{\bar{s}s}\otimes[1_c]_{\bar{q}q}$ configuration. The possible tetraquark and hybrid decay modes are analyzed, which are critical in decoding its inner structure. In the same way, we evaluate as well the $\bar{s}s\bar{s}s$ molecular state with $1^{-+}$ quantum number and find that there might exist two such ground states.

The tetra-heavy baryonium spectra

In this work, we investigate the spectra of the prospective tetracharm and tetrabottom baryonium, viz. the baryon-antibaryon states, in the framework of QCD sum rules. The non-perturbative contributions up to dimension 10 are taken into account. Numerical results indicate that there might exist 4 possible tetracharm baryonium states with masses $(7.33\pm0.12)$, $(7.42\pm0.13)$, $(7.68\pm0.17)$, and $(7.76\pm0.12)$ GeV for the quantum numbers of $0^{-+}$, $1^{--}$, $0^{++}$, and $1^{++}$, respectively. The corresponding tetrabottom partners are found lying respectively at $(19.41\pm 0.15)$, $(19.48\pm 0.15)$, $(19.77\pm 0.19)$ and $(19.84\pm 0.19)$ GeV. Additionally, we also analyze the spectra of the $\barΞ_{bc}Ξ_{bc}$ and $\barΞ_{cc}Ξ_{bb}$ baryonium states, which lie in the range of $13.77-14.40$ GeV and $13.39-14.14$ GeV, respectively. The possible baryonium decay modes are analyzed, which are hopefully measurable in LHC experiments.

General Schemes for Quantum Entanglement and Steering Detection

Separability problem is a long-standing tough issue in quantum information theory. In this paper, we propose a general method to detect entanglement via arbitrary measurement $\boldsymbol{X}$, by which several novel criteria are established. The new criteria are found incorporate many of the prevailing ones in the literatures. Our method is applicable as well to the steering detection, which possesses a merit of ignoring the knowledge of involved quantum states. A concept of measurement orbit, which plays an important role in the detection of entanglement and steering, is introduced, which enlightens our understanding of uncertainty relation. Moreover, an extension of symmetric informationally complete positive operator-valued measures (SIC-POVM), viz. symmetric complete measurements (SCM), is proposed, and employed to reconstruct the quantum state analytically.
