On the partner particles for moving mirror radiation and black hole evaporation

The partner mode with respect to a vacuum state for a given mode (like that corresponding to one of the thermal particles emitted by a black hole) is defined and calculated. The partner modes are explicitly calculated for a number of cases, in particular for the modes corresponding to a particle detector being excited by turn-on/turn-off transients, or with the thermal particles emitted by the accelerated mirror model for black hole evaporation. One of the key results is that the partner mode in general is just a vacuum fluctuation, and one can have the partner mode be located in a region where the state cannot be distinguished from the vacuum state by any series of local measurements, including the energy density. I.e., "information" (the correlations with the thermal emissions) need not be associated with any energy transport. The idea that black holes emit huge amounts of energy in their last stages because of all the information which must be emitted under the assumption of black-hole unitarity is found not necessarily to be the case.

N-body-extended Channel Estimation for Low-Noise Parameters

The notion of low-noise channels was recently proposed and analyzed in detail in order to describe noise-processes driven by environment [M. Hotta, T. Karasawa and M. Ozawa, Phys. Rev. A72, 052334 (2005)]. An estimation theory of low-noise parameters of channels has also been developed. In this report, we address the low-noise parameter estimation problem for the $N$-body extension of low-noise channels. We perturbatively calculate the Fisher information of the output states in order to evaluate the lower-bound of the mean-square error of the parameter estimation. We show that the maximum of the Fisher information over all input states can be attained by a factorized input state in the leading order of the low-noise parameter. Thus, to achieve optimal estimation, it is not necessary for there to be entanglement of the $N$ subsystems, as long as the true low-noise parameter is sufficiently small.

Impossibility of distant indirect measurement of the quantum Zeno effect

We critically study the possibility of quantum Zeno effect for indirect measurements. If the detector is prepared to detect the emitted signal from the core system, and the detector does not reflect the signal back to the core system, then we can prove the decay probability of the system is not changed by the continuous measurement of the signal and the quantum Zeno effect never takes place. This argument also applies to the quantum Zeno effect for accelerated two-level systems, unstable particle decay, etc.

Quantum Estimation by Local Observables

Quantum estimation theory provides optimal observations for various estimation problems for unknown parameters in the state of the system under investigation. However, the theory has been developed under the assumption that every observable is available for experimenters. Here, we generalize the theory to problems in which the experimenter can use only locally accessible observables. For such problems, we establish a Cram{é}r-Rao type inequality by obtaining an explicit form of the Fisher information as a reciprocal lower bound for the mean square errors of estimations by locally accessible observables. Furthermore, we explore various local quantum estimation problems for composite systems, where non-trivial combinatorics is needed for obtaining the Fisher information.

Complete Resolution of the Quantum Zeno Paradox for Outside Observers

The quantum Zeno paradox is fully resolved for purely indirect and incomplete measurements performed by the detectors outside the system. If the outside detectors are prepared to observe propagating signals of a decay event of an excited state in the core region, the survival probability of the state is not changed at all by the outside measurements, as long as the wavefunction of the signals does not have reflectional-wave contributions going back to the core by the outside detectors. The proof is independendent of the decay law of the survival probabilities. Just watching frequently from outside (observation) cannot be regarded as a measurement which yields the quantum Zeno effect.

Perturbative stability of the QCD analysis of DIS data

We perform pQCD analysis of the existing DIS data for charged leptons with account of corrections up to the NNLO. The parton distributions, value of strong coupling constant, and high-twist terms are extracted and their stability with respect to account of the NNLO corrections is analyzed. All the quantities are generally stable within their experimental errors. Obtained value of the strong coupling constant is $α_s^{\rm NNLO}(M_{\rm Z})=0.1143\pm 0.0014 ({\rm exp})$ with a guess $α_s^{\rm NNNLO}(M_{\rm Z})\sim 0.113$.

Diffeomorphism on Horizon as an Asymptotic Isometry of Schwarzschild Black Hole

It is argued that the diffeomorphism on the horizontal sphere can be regarded as a nontrivial asymptotic isometry of the Schwarzschild black hole. We propose a new boundary condition of asymptotic metrics near the horizon and show that the condition admits the local time-shift and diffeomorphism on the horizon as the asymptotic symmetry.

Toward Generalized Entropy Composition with Different q Indices and H-Theorem

An attempt is made to construct composable composite entropy with different $q$ indices of subsystems and address the H-theorem problem of the composite system. Though the H-theorem does not hold in general situations, it is shown that some composite entropies do not decrease in time in near-equilibrium states and factorized states with negligibly weak interaction between the subsystems.

Composability and Generalized Entropy

We address in this paper how tightly the composability nature of systems: $S_{A+B} =Ω(S_A, S_B)$ constrains definition of generalized entropies and investigate explicitly the composability in some ansatz of the entropy form.

Thermal Hair of Quantum Black Hole

We investigate the possibility of statistical explanation of the black hole entropy by counting quasi-bounded modes of thermal fluctuation in two dimensional black hole spacetime. The black hole concerned is quantum in the sense that it is in thermal equilibrium with its Hawking radiation. It is shown that the fluctuation around such a black hole obeys a wave equation with a potential whose peaks are located near the black hole and which is caused by quantum effect. We can construct models in which the potential in the above sense has several positive peaks and there are quai-bounded modes confined between these peaks. This suggests that these modes contribute to the black hole entropy. However it is shown that the entropy associated with these modes dose not obey the ordinary area law. Therefore we can call these modes as an additional thermal hair of the quantum black hole.

Dynamical Instability of a two-dimensional Quantum Black Hole

We investigate dynamical instability of a two-dimensional quantum black hole model considered by Lowe in his study of Hawking evaporation. The model is supposed to express a black hole in equilibrium with a bath of Hawking radiation. It turns out that the model has at least one instability modes for a wide range of parameters, and thus it is unstable.

A Comment on the Geometric Entropy and Conical Space

It has been recently pointed out that a definition of the geometric entropy using the partition function in a conical space does not in general lead to a positive definite quantity. For a scalar field model with a non-minimal coupling we clarify the origin of the anomalous behavior from the viewpoint of the canonical formulation.

Quantum System under Periodic Perturbation: Effect of Environment

In many physical situations the behavior of a quantum system is affected by interaction with a larger environment. We develop, using the method of influence functional, how to deduce the density matrix of the quantum system incorporating the effect of environment. After introducing characterization of the environment by spectral weight, we first devise schemes to approximate the spectral weight, and then a perturbation method in field theory models, in order to approximately describe the environment. All of these approximate models may be classified as extended Ohmic models of dissipation whose differences are in the high frequency part. The quantum system we deal with in the present work is a general class of harmonic oscillators with arbitrary time dependent frequency. The late time behavior of the system is well described by an approximation that employs a localized friction in the dissipative part of the correlation function appearing in the influence functional. The density matrix of the quantum system is then determined in terms of a single classical solution obtained with the time dependent frequency. With this one can compute the entropy, the energy distribution function, and other physical quantities of the system in a closed form. Specific application is made to the case of periodically varying frequency. This dynamical system has a remarkable property when the environmental interaction is switched off: Effect of the parametric resonance gives rise to an exponential growth of the populated number in higher excitation levels, or particle production in field theory models. The effect of the environment is investigated for this dynamical system and it is demonstrated that there exists

High Momentum Behavior of Geometric Bremsstrahlung in the Expanding Universe

We shall discuss various kinds of geometric bremsstrahlung processes in the spatially flat Robertson-Walker universe. Despite that the temperature of the universe is much higher than particle masses and the Hubble parameter, the transition probability of these processes do not vanish. It is also pointed out that explicit forms of the probability possess a new duality with respect to scale factor of background geometry.

Geometric Bremsstrahlung in the Early Universe

We discuss photon emission from particles decelerlated by the cosmic expansion. This can be interpretated as a kind of bremsstrahlung induced by the Universe geometry. In the high momentum limit its transition probability does not depend on detailed behavior of the expansion.
