Thermodynamics of Plasmaballs and Plasmarings in 3+1 Dimensions

We study localized plasma configurations in 3+1 dimensional massive field theories obtained by Scherk-Schwarz compactification of 4+1 dimensional CFT to predict the thermodynamic properties of localized blackholes and blackrings in Scherk-Schwarz compactified $AdS_6$ using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We present an exact solution to the relativistic Navier-Stokes equation in the thin ring limit of the fluid configuration. We also perform a thorough numerical analysis to obtain the thermodynamic properties of the most general solution. Finally we compare our results with the recent proposal for the phase diagram of blackholes in six flat dimensions and find some similarities but other differences.

Characteristics and benchmarks of entanglement of mixed states -- the two qubit case

We propose that the entanglement of mixed states is characterised properly in terms of a probability density function $\mathcal{P}_ρ(\mathcal{E})$. There is a need for such a measure since the prevalent measures (such as \textit{concurrence} and \textit{negativity}) for two qubit systems are rough benchmarks, and not monotones of each other. Focussing on the two qubit states, we provide an explicit construction of $\mathcal{P}_ρ(\mathcal{E})$ and show that it is characterised by a set of parameters, of which concurrence is but one particular combination. $\mathcal{P}_ρ(\mathcal{E})$ is manifestly invariant under $SU(2) \times SU(2)$ transformations. It can, in fact, reconstruct the state up to local operations - with the specification of at most four additional parameters. Finally the new measure resolves the controversy regarding the role of entanglement in quantum computation in NMR systems.

A complete characterization of mixed state entanglement using probability density functions

We propose that the entanglement of mixed states is characterised properly in terms of a probability density function $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{E})$. There is a need for such a measure since the prevalent measures (such as \textit{concurrence} and \textit{negativity}) are rough benchmarks, and not monotones of each other. Considering the specific case of two qubit mixed states, we provide an explicit construction of $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{E})$ and show that it is characterised by a set of parameters, of which concurrence is but one particular combination. $\mathcal{P}(\mathcal{E})$ is manifestly invariant under $SU(2) \times SU(2)$ transformations.
