Experimental realization of large-alphabet quantum key distribution protocol using orbital angular momentum entanglement

We experimentally demonstrate a quantum key distribution (QKD) protocol using photon pairs entangled in orbit angular momentum (OAM). In our protocol, Alice and Bob modulate their OAM states on each entangled pair with spatial light modulators (SLMs), respectively. Alice uses a fixed phase hologram in her SLM, while Bob designs $N$ different suitable phase holograms and uses them to represent his $N$-based information in his SLM. With coincidences, Alice can fully retrieve the key stream sent by Bob without information reconciliation or privacy amplification. We report the experiment results with N=3 and the sector states with OAM eigenmodes l=1 and l=-1. Our experiment shows that the coincidence rates are in relatively distinct value regions for the three different key elements. Alice could recover fully Bob's keys by the protocol. Finally, we discuss the security of the protocol both form the light way and against the general attacks.

Scaling properties in spatial networks and its effects on topology and traffic dynamics

Empirical studies on the spatial structures in several real transport networks reveal that the distance distribution in these networks obeys power law. To discuss the influence of the power-law exponent on the network's structure and function, a spatial network model is proposed. Based on a regular network and subject to a limited cost $C$, long range connections are added with power law distance distribution $P(r)=ar^{-δ}$. Some basic topological properties of the network with different $δ$ are studied. It is found that the network has the smallest average shortest path when $δ=2$. Then a traffic model on this network is investigated. It is found that the network with $δ=1.5$ is best for the traffic process. All of these results give us some deep understandings about the relationship between spatial structure and network function.

Measuring Significance of Community Structure in Complex Networks

Many complex systems can be represented as networks and separating a network into communities could simplify the functional analysis considerably. Recently, many approaches have been proposed for finding communities, but none of them can evaluate the communities found are significant or trivial definitely. In this paper, we propose an index to evaluate the significance of communities in networks. The index is based on comparing the similarity between the original community structure in network and the community structure of the network after perturbed, and is defined by integrating all the similarities. Many artificial networks and real-world networks are tested. The results show that the index is independent from the size of network and the number of communities. Moreover, we find the clear communities always exist in social networks, but don't find significative communities in proteins interaction networks and metabolic networks.

The correction of the littlest Higgs model to the Higgs production process $e^+e^-\to e^+e^-H$ at the ILC

The littlest Higgs model is the most economical one among various little Higgs models. In the context of the littlest Higgs model, we study the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to e^{+}e^{-}H$ at the ILC and calculate the correction of the littlest Higgs model to the cross section of this process. The results show that, in the favorable parameter spaces preferred by the electroweak precision data, the value of the relative correction is in the range from a few percent to tens percent. In most case, the correction is large enough to reach the measurement precision of the ILC. Therefore, the correction of the littlest Higgs model to the process $e^{+}e^{-}\to e^{+}e^{-}H$ might be detected at the ILC which will give an ideal way to test the model.

New gauge boson $B_{H}$ production associated with W boson pair via $γγ$ collision in the littlest Higgs model

The littlest Higgs model is the most economical little Higgs model. The observation of the new gauge bosons predicted by the littlest Higgs model could serve as a robust signature of the model. The ILC, with the high energy and luminosity, can open an ideal window to probe these new gauge bosons, specially, the lightest $B_H$. In the framework of the littlest Higgs model, we study a gauge boson $B_{H}$ production process $γγ\to W^{+}W^{-}B_H$. The study shows that the cross section of the process can vary in a wide range($10^{-1}-10^1$ fb) in most parameter spaces preferred by the electroweak precision data. The high c.m. energy(For example, $\sqrt{s}=1500$ GeV) can obviously enhance the cross section to the level of tens fb. For the favorable parameter spaces, the sufficient typical events could be assumed at the ILC. Therefore, our study about the process $γγ\to W^{+}W^{-}B_H$ could provide a useful theoretical instruction for probing $B_H$ experimentally at ILC. Furthermore, such process would offer a good chance to study the triple and quartic gauge couplings involving $B_H$ and the SM gauge bosons which shed important light on the symmetry breaking features of the littlest Higgs model.

Gauge and Lorentz Covariant Quark Propagator in an Arbitrary Gluon Field

The quark propagator in presence of an arbitrary gluon field is calculated gauge and Lorentz covariantly order by order in terms of powers of gluon field and its derivatives. The result is independent of path connecting ends of propagator and leading order result coincides with the exact propagator in the trivial case of vanishing gluon field.

On QCD Predictions for the Chiral Lagrangian Coefficients

Based on a previous study of deriving the chiral Lagrangian (CL) from QCD, we illustrate the main feature of QCD predictions for the CL coefficients (CLC) in certain approximations. We first show that, in the large-N(c) limit, the anomaly part contributions to the CLC are exactly cancelled by certain terms in the normal part contributions (NPC), so that the final results only concern the remaining NPC depending on QCD interactions. We then do the calculation in a simple approach with further approximations. The obtained CLC and quark condensate are consistent with the experiments.

Calculation of the Chiral Lagrangian Coefficients from the Underlying Theory of QCD: A Simple Approach

We calculate the coefficients in the chiral Lagrangian approximately from QCD based on a previous study of deriving the chiral Lagrangian from the first principles of QCD in which the chiral Lagrangian coefficients are defined in terms of certain Green's functions in QCD. We first show that, in the large N(c)-limit, the anomaly part contributions to the coefficients are exactly cancelled by certain terms in the normal part contributions, and the final results of the coefficients only concern the remaining normal part contributions depending on QCD interactions. We then do the calculation in a simple approach with the approximations of taking the large-N(c) limit, the leading order in dynamical perturbation theory, and the improved ladder approximation, thereby the relevant Green's functions are expressed in terms of the quark self energy. By solving the Schwinger-Dyson equation for the quark self energy, we obtain the approximate QCD predicted coefficients and the quark condensate which are consistent with the experimental values.

Fermion determinant with dynamical chiral symmetry breaking

One -loop fermion determinant is discussed for the case in which dynamical chiral symmetry breaking caused by momentum dependent fermion self energy $Σ(p^2)$ take place. The obtained series generalizes the heat kernel expansion for hard fermion mass.
