Levy-Khintchine type representation of Dirichlet generators and Semi-Dirichlet forms

Let $U$ be an open set of $\mathbb{R}^n$, $m$ a positive Radon measure on $U$ such that ${\rm supp}[m]=U$, and $(P_t)_{t>0}$ a strongly continuous contraction sub-Markovian semigroup on $L^2(U;m)$. We investigate the structure of $(P_t)_{t>0}$. (i) Denote respectively by $(A,D(A))$ and $(\hat A,D(\hat A))$ the generator and the co-generator of $(P_t)_{t>0}$. Under the assumption that $C^{\infty}_0(U)\subset D(A)\cap D(\hat A)$, we give an explicit Lévy-Khintchine type representation of $A$ on $C^{\infty}_0(U)$. (ii) If $(P_t)_{t>0}$ is an analytic semigroup and hence is associated with a semi-Dirichlet form $({\cal E}, D({\cal E}))$, we give an explicit characterization of ${\cal E}$ on $C^{\infty}_0(U)$ under the assumption that $C^{\infty}_0(U)\subset D({\cal E})$. We also present a LeJan type transformation rule for the diffusion part of regular semi-Dirichlet forms on general state spaces.

Many-body \textit{T}-matrix theory of a strongly interacting spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas: Momentum-resolved radio-frequency spectroscopy and fermionic pairing

Interacting Fermi gases with spin-orbit coupling are responsible for many intriguing phenomena such as topological superfluids and Majorana fermions. Here we characterize theoretically fermionic pairing in a strongly interacting spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas, by using momentum-resolved radio-frequency spectroscopy. We develop a strong-coupling $T$-matrix theory and present a phase diagram near the unitary resonance limit. A smooth transition from atomic to molecular responses in the momentum-resolved spectroscopy is predicted, with a clear signature of anisotropic pairing at and below resonance. Our prediction with many-body pairing can be directly tested in a spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas of $^{40}$K or $^{6}$Li atoms near broad Feshbach resonances.

Radio-frequency spectroscopy of a strongly interacting spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas

We investigate experimentally and theoretically radio-frequency spectroscopy and pairing of a spin-orbit-coupled Fermi gas of $^{40}$K atoms near a Feshbach resonance at $B_{0}=202.2$ G. Experimentally, the integrated spectroscopy is measured, showing characteristic blue and red shifts in the atomic and molecular responses, respectively, with increasing spin-orbit coupling. Theoretically, a smooth transition from atomic to molecular responses in the momentum-resolved spectroscopy is predicted, with a clear signature of anisotropic pairing at and below resonance. Our many-body prediction agrees qualitatively well with the observed spectroscopy near the Feshbach resonance.

Spectral Analysis and Identification of Noises in Quantum Systems

In quantum information processing, knowledge of the noise in the system is crucial for high-precision manipulation and tomography of coherent quantum operations. Existing strategies for identifying this noise require the use of additional quantum devices or control pulses. We present a noise-identification method directly based on the system's non-Markovian response of an ensemble measurement to the noise. The noise spectrum is identified by reversing the response relationship in the frequency domain. For illustration, the method is applied to superconducting charge qubits, but it is equally applicable to any type of qubits. We find that the identification strategy recovers the well-known Fermi's golden rule under the lowest-order perturbation approximation, which corresponds to the Markovian limit when the measurement time is much longer than the noise correlation time. Beyond such approximation, it is possible to further improve the precision at the so-called optimal point by incorporating the transient response data in the non-Markovian regime. This method is verified with experimental data from coherent oscillations in a superconducting charge qubit.

A Literature Survey of Cooperative Caching in Content Distribution Networks

Content distribution networks (CDNs) which serve to deliver web objects (e.g., documents, applications, music and video, etc.) have seen tremendous growth since its emergence. To minimize the retrieving delay experienced by a user with a request for a web object, caching strategies are often applied - contents are replicated at edges of the network which is closer to the user such that the network distance between the user and the object is reduced. In this literature survey, evolution of caching is studied. A recent research paper [15] in the field of large-scale caching for CDN was chosen to be the anchor paper which serves as a guide to the topic. Research studies after and relevant to the anchor paper are also analyzed to better evaluate the statements and results of the anchor paper and more importantly, to obtain an unbiased view of the large scale collaborate caching systems as a whole.

Radio-frequency spectroscopy of weakly bound molecules in spin-orbit coupled atomic Fermi gases

We investigate theoretically radio-frequency spectroscopy of weakly bound molecules in an ultracold spin-orbit-coupled atomic Fermi gas. We consider two cases with either equal Rashba and Dresselhaus coupling or pure Rashba coupling. The former system has been realized very recently at Shanxi University [Wang et al., arXiv:1204.1887] and MIT [Cheuk et al., arXiv:1205.3483]. We predict realistic radio-frequency signals for revealing the unique properties of anisotropic molecules formed by spin-orbit coupling.

Momentum-resolved Raman spectroscopy of bound molecules in ultracold Fermi gas

The binding energy of Feshbach molecules from a two component Fermi gas of $^{40}$K atoms has been experimentally measured with the momentum-resolved Raman spectroscopy. Comparing with the radio-frequency spectroscopy, in the present experiment the signal of unpaired (free atoms) and the bound molecules can be directly observed and the binding energy can be simultaneously determined in a single running experiment. The energy-momentum dispersion spectra of the strongly interacting ultracold Fermi gas in BEC side are also measured and reconstructed. The present experimental technology of the momentum-resolved Raman spectroscopy can be easily extended to perform spatially momentum-resolved Raman spectroscopy and to obtain the response spectra of a homogeneous system in the local density approximation.

Non-Markovian quantum input-output networks

Quantum input-output response analysis is a useful method for modeling the dynamics of complex quantum networks, such as those for communication or quantum control via cascade connections. Non-Markovian effects have not yet been studied in such networks. Here we extend the Markovian input-output network formalism developed in optical systems to non-Markovian cascaded networks which can be used, e.g., to analyze the input-output response of mesoscopic quantum networks. We use this formalism to explore the behavior of superconducting qubit networks, where we examine the effect of finite cavity bandwidths. We also discuss its application to open- and closed-loop control networks, and show how these networks create effective Hamiltonians for the controlled system.

Quantum Coherent Nonlinear Feedbacks with Applications to Quantum Optics on Chip

In the control of classical mechanical systems, the feedback has been successfully applied to the production of the desired nonlinear dynamics. However, how much this can be done is still an open problem in quantum mechanical systems. This paper proposes a scheme of generating strong nonlinear quantum effects via the recently developed coherent feedback techniques, which can be shown to outperform the measurement-based quantum feedback scheme that can only generate pseudo-nonlinear quantum effects. Such advancement is demonstrated by two application examples in quantum optics on chip. In the first example, we show that the nonlinear Kerr effect can be generated and amplified to be comparable with the linear effect in a transmission line resonator (TLR). In the second example, we show that by tuning the gains of the quantum amplifiers in a TLR coherent feedback network, non-Gaussian "light" (microwave field) can be generated and manipulated via the nonlinear effects which exhibits fully quantum sub-Poisson photoncount statistics and photon antibunching phenomenon. The scheme opens promising applications in demonstrating strong nonlinear quantum optics on chip, which is extremely weak and inflexible in traditional quantum optical devices.

Spin-orbit interaction in the k \cdot p theory for cubic crystals

Recent work by Elder, Ward and Zhang [Phys. Rev. B83. 165210 (2011)] has shown need for correction and modification of current implementation of the k.p method and operator ordering scheme using the interaction parameters defined under double group consideration. This manuscript examines the difference in treatment of spin-orbit interaction under the single and double group formulations. We show that the restriction to the adapted double group bases, brought about by the imposition of single group selection rule in calculating the k.p interaction, is not appropriate. In addition, the unitary transformation employed in the literature to diagonalise the intra-band spin orbit interaction in semiconductors with diamond lattice can not remove the inter-band terms. It leads to a bases set for valence band ordered differently from D_3/2^+ in the O(3) group thus invalidating any correlation of magnetic quantum number to the z component of angular momentum. Under the double group consideration, spin-orbit interaction affects all the zone centre states and offers a mechanism for changing the relative positions of various zone centre states in the conduction band. In addition to the mixing caused by k independent spin orbit terms, formation of hybridised orbitals under double group rules also produce mixing. This can lead to inversion in materials such as α-tin. The re-arrangement of conduction band zone centre states leads to a negative γ_2 in most materials with respect to the valence band bases having the same order as D_3/2^+ in the O(3) group. The double group formulation is also required in the description of Zeeman interaction, including the S.B term, for the mixed zone centre states. It provides a correspondence between second order interaction parameters and the Luttinger invariants. ...

We report the experiment on probing the one-body spectral function in a trapped non-interacting $^{40}$K Fermi gas by means of the momentum-resolved Raman spectroscopy The experimental result is in good agreement with the expected quadratic dispersion in the non-interacting regime. Through the comparison with the radio-frequency spectrum, we found that the Raman spectrum shows some new characteristics.

Spin-Orbit Coupled Degenerate Fermi Gases

Spin-orbit coupling plays an increasingly important role in the modern condensed matter physics. For instance, it gives birth to topological insulators and topological superconductors. Quantum simulation of spin-orbit coupling using ultracold Fermi gases will offer opportunities to study these new phenomena in a more controllable setting. Here we report the first experimental study of a spin-orbit coupled Fermi gas. We observe spin dephasing in spin dynamics and momentum distribution asymmetry in the equilibrium state as hallmarks of spin-orbit coupling. We also observe evidences of Lifshitz transition where the topology of Fermi surfaces change. This serves as an important first step toward finding Majorana fermions in this system.

Suppressing nano-scale stick-slip motion by feedback

When a micro cantilever with a nano-scale tip is manipulated on a substrate with atomic-scale roughness, the periodic lateral frictional force and stochastic fluctuations may induce stick-slip motion of the cantilever tip, which greatly decreases the precision of the nano manipulation. This unwanted motion cannot be reduced by open-loop control especially when there exist parameter uncertainties in the system model, and thus needs to introduce feedback control. However, real-time feedback cannot be realized by the existing virtual reality virtual feedback techniques based on the position sensing capacity of the atomic force microscopy (AFM). To solve this problem, we propose a new method to design real-time feedback control based on the force sensing approach to compensate for the disturbances and thus reduce the stick-slip motion of the cantilever tip. Theoretical analysis and numerical simulations show that the controlled motion of the cantilever tip tracks the desired trajectory with much higher precision. Further investigation shows that our proposal is robust under various parameter uncertainties. Our study opens up new perspectives of real-time nano manipulation.

Species Diversity in Rock-Paper-Scissors Game Coupling with Levy Flight

Rock-paper-scissors (RPS) game is a nice model to study the biodiversity in ecosystem. However, the previous studies only consider the nearest- neighbor- interaction among the species. In this paper, taking the long range migration into account, the effects of the interplay between nearest-neighbor-interaction and long-range-interaction of Levy flight obey the power law distance distribution with the exponent h (-0.3<h<-0.1) in spatial RPS game is investigated. Taking the probability of long range Levy flight and the power exponent as parameters, the coexistence conditions of three species are found. The critical curves for stable coexistence of three species in the parameters space are presented. It is also found that long-range-interaction with Levy flight has interesting effects on the final spatiotemporal pattern of the system. The results reveal that the long-range-interaction of Levy flight exhibit pronounced effects on biodiversity of ecosystem.

Block-based Bayesian epistasis association mapping with application to WTCCC type 1 diabetes data

Interactions among multiple genes across the genome may contribute to the risks of many complex human diseases. Whole-genome single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) data collected for many thousands of SNP markers from thousands of individuals under the case--control design promise to shed light on our understanding of such interactions. However, nearby SNPs are highly correlated due to linkage disequilibrium (LD) and the number of possible interactions is too large for exhaustive evaluation. We propose a novel Bayesian method for simultaneously partitioning SNPs into LD-blocks and selecting SNPs within blocks that are associated with the disease, either individually or interactively with other SNPs. When applied to homogeneous population data, the method gives posterior probabilities for LD-block boundaries, which not only result in accurate block partitions of SNPs, but also provide measures of partition uncertainty. When applied to case--control data for association mapping, the method implicitly filters out SNP associations created merely by LD with disease loci within the same blocks. Simulation study showed that this approach is more powerful in detecting multi-locus associations than other methods we tested, including one of ours. When applied to the WTCCC type 1 diabetes data, the method identified many previously known T1D associated genes, including PTPN22, CTLA4, MHC, and IL2RA.

An improved distributed routing algorithm for Benes based optical NoC

Integrated optical interconnect is believed to be one of the main technologies to replace electrical wires. Optical Network-on-Chip (ONoC) has attracted more attentions nowadays. Benes topology is a good choice for ONoC for its rearrangeable non-blocking character, multistage feature and easy scalability. Routing algorithm plays an important role in determining the performance of ONoC. But traditional routing algorithms for Benes network are not suitable for ONoC communication, we developed a new distributed routing algorithm for Benes ONoC in this paper. Our algorithm selected the routing path dynamically according to network condition and enables more path choices for the message traveling in the network. We used OPNET to evaluate the performance of our routing algorithm and also compared it with a well-known bit-controlled routing algorithm. ETE delay and throughput were showed under different packet length and network sizes. Simulation results show that our routing algorithm can provide better performance for ONoC.

Bose-Einstein Condensate in a light-induced vector potential using the 1064 $nm$ optical dipole trap lasers

We present a simple experiment of creating an effective vector gauge potential for Bose-Einstein condensed $^{87}$Rb in the F=2 hyperfine ground state using two crossed 1064 $nm$ optical dipole trap lasers as the Raman beams. Due to the far-detuning from the single-photon resonance with the electronically excited state, the spontaneous emission is strongly reduced, at the same time, the moderate strength of the Raman coupling still can be achieved. The atoms at the far detuning of the Raman coupling are loaded adiabatically into the dressed states by ramping the homogeneous bias magnetic field to resonance and the different energy dressed states are studied. This experiment is easily extended to produce synthetic magnetic or electric field from a spatial or time dependence of the effective vector potential.

Comparing with the qubit multipartite unlockable bound-entangled states, CV multipartite unlockable bound-entangled states present the new and different properties. CV multipartite unlockable bound-entangled states may serve as a useful quantum resource for new multiparty communication schemes. The experimental protocol for generating CV unlockable bound-entangled states is proposed with a setup that is at present accessible.
