Quantum-improved phase estimation with a displacement-assisted SU(1,1) interferometer

By performing two local displacement operations (LDOs) inside an SU(1,1) interferometer, called as the displacement-assisted SU(1,1) [DSU(1,1)], both the phase sensitivity based on homodyne detection and quantum Fisher information (QFI) with and without photon losses are investigated in this paper. In this DSU(1,1) interferometer, we focus our attention on the extent to which the introduced LDO affects the phase sensitivity and the QFI, even in the realistic scenario. Our analyses show that the estimation performance of DSU(1,1) interferometer is always better than that of SU(1,1) interferometer without the LDO, especially the phase precision of the former in the ideal scenario gradually approaching to the Heisenberg limit via the increase of the LDO strength. More significantly, different from the latter, the robustness of the former can be enhanced markedly by regulating and controlling the LDO. Our findings would open an useful view for quantum-improved phase estimation of optical interferometers.

Transport properties of isospin asymmetric nuclear matter using TDHF

Background: The study of deep-inelastic reactions of nuclei provide a vehicle to investigate nuclear transport phenomena for a full range of equilibration dynamics. These inquires provide us the ingredients to model such phenomena and help answer important questions about the nuclear Equation of State (EOS) and its evolution as a function of neutron-to-proton $(N/Z)$ ratio. Purpose: The motivation is to examine the real-time dynamics of nuclear transport phenomena and its dependence on $(N/Z)$ asymmetry from a microscopic point of view to avoid any pre-conceived assumptions about the involved processes. Method: Time-dependent Hartree-Fock (TDHF) method in full 3D is employed to calculate deep-inelastic reactions of $^{78}$Kr+$^{208}$Pb and $^{92}$Kr+$^{208}$Pb systems at 8.5~MeV$/A$. The impact parameter and energy-loss dependence of relevant observables are calculated. In addition, density constrained TDHF method is used to compute excitation energies of the primary fragments. The statistical deexcitation code GEMINI is utilized to examine the final reaction products. Results: The kinetic energy loss and sticking times as a function of impact parameter are calculated. Final properties of the fragments (charge, mass, scattering angle, kinetic energy) are computed. Conclusions: We find a smooth dependence of the energy loss, $E_\mathrm{loss}$, on the impact parameter for both systems. On the other hand the transfer properties for low $E_\mathrm{loss}$ values are very different for the two systems but become similar in the higher $E_\mathrm{loss}$ regime. The mean life time of the charge equilibration process, obtained from the final $(N-Z)/A$ value of the fragments, is shown to be $\sim 0.5$~zs. This value is slightly larger (but of the same order) than the value obtained from reactions at Fermi energies.

Isoscaling in statistical fragment emission in an extended compound nucleus model

Based on an extended compound nucleus model, isospin effects in statistical fragment emission from excited nuclear systems are investigated. An experimentally observed scaling behavior of the ratio of isotope yields $Y_i(N,Z)$ from two similar emitting sources with different neutron-to-proton ratios is predicted theoretically, i.e., the relationship of $Y_2/Y_1 \propto exp(αN + βZ)$ is demonstrated. The symmetry energy coefficient $C_{sym}$ extracted from the simulation results is $\sim$ 27 MeV which is consistent with realistic theoretical estimates and recent experimental data. The influence of the surface entropy on the isoscaling behavior is discussed in detail. It is found that although the surface entropy increases the numercial values of isoscaling parameters $α$ and $β$, it does not affect the isoscaling behavior qualitatively and has only a minor effect on the extracted symmetry energy coefficient.
