Modified Maxwell equations from CPT-even Lorentz violation with Minimum Length

Here we discuss the presence of CPT-even Lorentz violation (LV) in the presence of a deformed Heisenberg algebra that leads to a minimum length (ML). We consider the case of a Maxwell lagrangian modified by the presence of a $K_{F}$ CPT-even LV theory and ML. We then derive a set of modified Maxwell equations in the cases of LV and ML and only ML. We verified that in the case of electromagnetic waves in the vacuum the presence of ML does not change the consequences of LV. On the other hand, in a material media ML changes the whole set of equations that can lead to important effects with respect to the usual equations. We also considered the more general case including LV and the modified equations in terms of matter fields. We then derived the refractive index as a function of the matter fields depending on LV and ML, and in particular we showed the behaviour of the refractive index with respect to the non-commutative parameter.

Metamaterials from modified CPT-odd standard model extension and minimum length

Here we discuss the standard model extension in the presence of CPT-odd Lorentz violation (LV) sector and of a deformed Heisenberg algebra that leads to a non-commutative theory with minimum length (ML). We derive the set of Maxwell equations emerging from this theory and considered the consequences with respect to the usual effects of electromagnetic waves and material media. We then considered the set of modified equations in material media and investigate the metamaterial behaviour as a consequence of LV and ML. We show that a negative index refraction can be derived from the presence of a non-commutativity suitably tuned by the $β$ parameter, while in the presence of LV, we obtained the set of modified Maxwell equation in terms of the corresponding material fields with terms depending explicitly from the terms of interaction between the material fields depending on non-commutativity with the background field due to CPT-odd LV. We conclude that a new set of metamaterials can be derived as a consequence of CPT-odd LV and non-commutativity with minimum length.

Thermofield qubits, generalized expectations and quantum information protocols

Thermofield dynamics (TFD) approach is a real time quantum field method for dealing with finite temperature quantum states in a purified version of usual density operator formalism at finite temperature. In the domain of quantum information, TFD represents a quite promising direction for dealing with qubits under thermal influence and can also be associated to Gaussian states. Here, we propose a generalized TFD mean expectation for the case of thermofield qubits considering the action of gate operators. We propose quantum teleportation protocols involving thermofield states, considering thermal-to-thermal and thermal-to-non-thermal transfering cases. In particular, we discuss the case in which Alice and Bob are at different temperatures. Action of gate operators on the result of the Mandel parameter for thermofields and on Gibbs-like density operators are also discussed. The no-cloning and non-broadcasting theorems in TFD are also considered and cases of superposed thermofield states and maps connecting thermofield vacua at different temperatures are also addressed and associated to metastable and non-equilibrium scenarios.
