description: The classical transverse field Ising spin- glass model with short-range interactions is investigated beyond the mean- field approximation for a real d- dimensional lattice. We use an appropriate nontrivial modification of the Bethe- Peierls method recently formulated for the Ising spin- glass. The zero- temperature critical value of the transverse field and the linear susceptibility in the paramagnetic phase are obtained analytically as functions of dimensionality d. The phase diagram is also calculated numerically for different values of d. In the limit d -> infinity, known mean- field results are consistently reproduced.

description: The B-T phase diagram for thin film YBa_2Cu_3O_7-d with B parallel to the superconducting layers has been constructed from GHz transport measurements to 150T. Evidence for a transition from a high T regime dominated by orbital effects, to a low T regime where paramagnetic limiting drives the quenching of superconductivity, is seen. Up to 110T the upper critical field is found to be linear in T and in remarkable agreement with extrapolation of the longstanding result of Welp et al arising from magnetisation measurements to 6T. Beyond this a departure from linear behaviour occurs at T=74K, where a 3D-2D crossover is expected to occur.

Interaction-Driven Topological Switch in a $P$-Band Honeycomb Lattice

description: The non-interacting band structure of spinless fermions in a two-dimensional ($d=2$) $p$-band honeycomb lattice exhibits two quadratic band touching points (QBTPs), which lie at the Fermi levels of filling $ν=1/4$ and its particle-hole conjugated filling $ν=3/4$. A weak Hubbard interaction $U$ spontaneously breaks the time-reversal symmetry and removes the QBTP, rendering the system into a quantum anomalous Hall insulator (QAHI). The first-order topological nature of QAHI is characterized by a nontrivial Chern number and supports ($d-1$)-dimensional chiral edge modes. With increasing the interaction $U$, the system is driven into a Dirac semimetal by breaking the crystal symmetry through a discontinuous quantum phase transition. The emergent Dirac points each with Berry flux $π$ are generated in pairs, originating from the $2π$ Berry flux of QBTP. A sufficiently large $U$ ultimately drives the system into a dimerized insulator (DI) by simultaneously annihilating the Dirac points at the Brillouin zone boundary. The second-order topological nature of DI is characterized by the quantized polarizations and supports ($d-2$)-dimensional corner states. Our study provides a unique setting for exploring the topological switch between the first-order and second-order topological insulators.

description: The paper gives an introduction to the gravitational radiation theory of isolated sources and to the propagation properties of light rays in radiative gravitational fields. It presents a theoretical study of the generation, propagation, back-reaction, and detection of gravitational waves from astrophysical sources. After reviewing the various quadrupole-moment laws for gravitational radiation in the Newtonian approximation, we show how to incorporate post-Newtonian corrections into the source multipole moments, the radiative multipole moments at infinity, and the back-reaction potentials. We further treat the light propagation in the linearized gravitational field outside a gravitational wave emitting source. The effects of time delay, bending of light, and moving source frequency shift are presented in terms of the gravitational lens potential. Time delay results are applied in the description of the procedure of the detection of gravitational waves.

Density-functional theory and the v-representability problem for model strongly correlated electron systems

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: Inspired by earlier work on the band-gap problem in insulators, we reexamine the treatment of strongly correlated Hubbard-type models within density-functional theory. In contrast to previous studies, the density is fully parametrized by occupation numbers and overlap of orbitals centered at neighboring atomic sites, as is the local potential by the hopping matrix. This corresponds to a good formal agreement between density-functional theory in real space and second quantization. It is shown that density-functional theory is formally applicable to such systems and the theoretical framework is provided. The question of noninteracting v representability is studied numerically for finite one-dimensional clusters, for which exact results are available, and qualitatively for infinite systems. This leads to the conclusion that the electron density corresponding to interacting systems of the type studied here is in fact not noninteracting v representable because the Kohn-Sham electrons are unable to reproduce the correlation-induced localization correctly.

description: In this paper we define and investigate a class of groups characterized by a representation-theoretic property we call purely noncommuting or PNC. This property guarantees that the group has an action on a smooth projective variety with mild quotient singularities. It has intrinsic group-theoretic interest as well. The main results are as follows. (i) All supersolvable groups are PNC. (ii) No nonabelian finite simple groups are PNC. (iii) A metabelian group is guaranteed to be PNC if its commutator subgroup's cyclic prime-power-order factors are all distinct, but not in general. We also give a criterion guaranteeing a group is PNC if its nonabelian subgroups are all large, in a suitable sense, and investigate the PNC property for permutations.

Both numerical and analytical investigations show that the dynamical growth of the characteristic length scale in both systems is described by the same growth exponents, thus suggesting that both systems are members of the same universality class.

Beyond Gross-Pitaevskii:local density vs. correlated basis approach for trapped bosons

description: We study the ground state of a system of Bose hard-spheres trapped in an isotropic harmonic potential to investigate the effect of the interatomic correlations and the accuracy of the Gross-Pitaevskii equation. We compare a local density approximation, based on the energy functional derived from the low density expansion of the energy of the uniform hard sphere gas, and a correlated wave function approach which explicitly introduces the correlations induced by the potential. Both higher order terms in the low density expansion, beyond Gross-Pitaevskii, and explicit dynamical correlations have effects of the order of percent when the number of trapped particles becomes similar to that attained in recent experiments.

Model-free inverse method for transit imaging of stellar surfaces: Using transit surveys to map stellar spot coverage

description: Context. We present a model-free method for mapping surface brightness variations. Aims. We aim to develop a method that is not dependent on either stellar atmosphere models or limb-darkening equation. This method is optimized for exoplanet transit surveys such that a large database of stellar spot coverage can be created. Methods. The method uses light curves from several transit events of the same system. These light curves are phase-folded and median-combined to for a high-quality light curve without temporal local brightness variations. Stellar specific intensities are extracted from this light curve using a model-free method. We search individual light curves for departures from the median-combined light curve. Such departures are interpreted as brightness variations on the stellar surface. A map of brightness variations on the stellar surface is produced by finding the brightness distribution that can produce a synthetic light curve that fits observations well. No assumptions about the size, shape, or contrast of brightness variations are made. Results. We successfully reproduce maps of stellar disks from both synthetic data and archive observations from FORS2, the visual and near UV FOcal Reducer and low dispersion Spectrograph for the Very Large Telescope (VLT).

description: We numerically implement a quasi-spherical approximation scheme for computing gravitational waveforms for coalescing black holes, testing it against angular momentum by applying it to Kerr black holes. As error measures, we take the conformal strain and specific energy due to spurious gravitational radiation. The strain is found to be monotonic rather than wavelike. The specific energy is found to be at least an order of magnitude smaller than the 1% level expected from typical black-hole collisions, for angular momentum up to at least 70% of the maximum, for an initial surface as close as $r=3m$.

description: We revisit the question of universality in quantum computing and propose a new paradigm. Instead of forcing a physical system to enact a predetermined set of universal gates (e.g., single-qubit operations and CNOT), we focus on the intrinsic ability of a system to act as a universal quantum computer using only its naturally available interactions. A key element of this approach is the realization that the fungible nature of quantum information allows for universal manipulations using quantum information encoded in a subspace of the full system Hilbert space, as an alternative to using physical qubits directly. Starting with the interactions intrinsic to the physical system, we show how to determine the possible universality resulting from these interactions over an encoded subspace. We outline a general Lie-algebraic framework which can be used to find the encoding for universality and give several examples relevant to solid-state quantum computing.

description: We consider propagation of coupled waves (polaritons) formed by a scalar electromagnetic wave and excitations of a finite one dimensional chain of dipoles. It is shown that a microscopic defect (an impurity dipole) embedded in the chain causes resonance tunneling of the electromagnetic wave with the frequency within the forbidden band between two polariton branches. We demonstrate that resonance tunneling occurs due to local polariton states caused by the defect.

description: First principles electronic structure calculations, based upon density functional theory within the generalized gradient approximation and ultra-soft Vanderbilt pseudopotentials, have been used to simulate a liquid alloy of iron and sulfur at Earth's core conditions. We have used a sulfur concentration of $\approx 12 % $wt, in line with the maximum recent estimates of the sulfur abundance in the Earth's outer core. The analysis of the structural, dynamical and electronic structure properties has been used to report on the effect of the sulfur impurities on the behavior of the liquid. Although pure sulfur is known to form chains in the liquid phase, we have not found any tendency towards polymerization in our liquid simulation. Rather, a net S-S repulsion is evident, and we propose an explanation for this effect in terms of the electronic structure. The inspection of the dynamical properties of the system suggests that the sulfur impurities have a negligible effect on the viscosity of Earth's liquid core.

A Hartree-Fock Study of Persistent Currents in Disordered Rings

description: For a system of spinless fermions in a disordered mesoscopic ring, interactions can give rise to an enhancement of the persistent current by orders of magnitude. The increase in the current is associated with a charge reorganization of the ground state. The interaction strength for which this reorganization takes place is sample-dependent and the log-averages over the ensemble are not representative. In this paper we demonstrate that the Hartree-Fock method closely reproduces results obtained by exact diagonalization. For spinless fermions subject to a short-range Coulomb repulsion U we show that due to charge reorganization the derivative of the persistent current is a discontinuous function of U. Having established that the Hartree-Fock method works well in one dimension, we present corresponding results for persistent currents in two coupled chains.

Contrasting turbulence in stably stratified flows and thermal convection

description: In this paper, the properties of stably stratified turbulence (SST) and turbulent thermal convection are contrasted. A key difference between these flows is the sign of the kinetic energy feed by buoyancy, $\mathcal{F}_B$. For SST, $\mathcal{F}_B < 0$ due to its stable nature; consequently, the kinetic energy flux $Π_u(k)$ decreases with wavenumber $k$ that leads to a steep kinetic energy spectrum, $E_u(k) \sim k^{-11/5}$. Turbulent convection is unstable, hence $\mathcal{F}_B > 0$ that leads to an increase of $Π_u(k)$ with $k$; this increase however is marginal due to relatively weak buoyancy, hence $E_u(k) \sim k^{-5/3}$, similar to that in hydrodynamic turbulence.

description: We study the possibility of non-singular black hole solutions in the theory of general relativity coupled to a non-linear scalar field with a positive potential possessing two minima: a `false vacuum' with positive energy and a `true vacuum' with zero energy. Assuming that the scalar field starts at the false vacuum at the origin and comes to the true vacuum at spatial infinity, we prove a no-go theorem by extending a no-hair theorem to the black hole interior: no smooth solutions exist which interpolate between the local de Sitter solution near the origin and the asymptotic Schwarzschild solution through a regular event horizon or several horizons.

description: We propose probabilistic controlled-NOT and controlled-phase gates for qubits stored in the polarization of photons. The gates are composed of linear optics and photon detectors, and consume polarization entangled photon pairs. The fraction of the successful operation is only limited by the efficiency of the Bell-state measurement. The gates work correctly under the use of imperfect detectors and lossy transmission of photons. Combined with single-qubit gates, they can be used for producing arbitrary polarization states and for designing various quantum measurements.

A Review on Environmental Impact of Pesticide Usage and Its Agronomic Management Strategies

Publisher: name: trends in Agriculture Science
Year: 2024

description: The Sustainability and long-term welfare of farmers and lands depends on good quality water, soil, air and other natural resources available. Pesticides are crucial in agricultural production. This study provides an overview of negative effect of the pesticides on the environment, particularly when the pesticide escaped outside of the intended application area. The study clearly highlights the serious consequences of pesticide use on various environmental components and also ways to protect the environment by agronomic remedial practices. I intend to acknowledge that, there are some fine-tunings and adjustments are to be made to wean farmers from pesticide reliance. Also, Biopesticides should also be developed alongside synthetic pesticides to minimize farmers reliance on synthetic pesticides and the pollution caused in the environment. Subsequently, the environmental protection is a global concern, it is high time we need to understand the gravity of the situation and create awareness among the manufacturers, policy makers, government agencies, common men and farmers especially for safety pesticide handling and application.

Multipole fluctuation theory for heavy fermion systems: Application to multipole orders in CeB6
Creators: name: Tazai, Rina
name: Kontani, Hiroshi
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: In heavy fermion systems, multipole degrees of freedom make possible the emergence of rich phenomena, such as hidden orders and superconductivities. However, many of them remain unsolved since the origin of higher-rank multipole interaction is not well understood. Among these issues, we focus on the quadrupole order in CeB$_6$, which is a famous multipolar heavy fermion system actively studied for decades. We analyze the multiorbital periodic Anderson model for CeB$_6$, and find that both magnetic, quadrupole, and octupole fluctuations develop cooperatively due to the strong inter-multipole coupling given by higher-order many-body effects, called the vertex corrections. It is found that the antiferro-quadrupole order in CeB$_6$ is driven by the interference between magnetic-multipole fluctuations. The discovered inter-multipole coupling mechanism is a potential origin of various hidden orders in various heavy fermion systems.

description: We revise the applicability of the theory of self-organized criticality (SOC) to the process of magnetic relaxation in type-II superconductors. The driving parameter of self-organization of vortices is the energy barrier for flux creep and not the current density. The power spectrum of the magnetic noise due to vortex avalanches is calculated and is predicted to vary with time during relaxation.

description: In this paper we consider a microscopic model of a simple ecosystem. The basic ingredients of this model are individuals, and both the phenotypic and genotypic levels are taken in account. The model is based on a long range cellular automaton (CA); introducing simple interactions between the individuals, we get some of the complex collective behaviors observed in a real ecosystem. Since our fitness function is smooth, the model does not exhibit the error threshold transition; on the other hand the size of total population is not kept constant, and the mutational meltdown transition is present. We study the effects of competition between genetically similar individuals and how it can lead to species formation. This speciation transition does not depend on the mutation rate. We present also an analytical approximation of the model.

description: We perform a likelihood analysis of the recently released BOOMERanG and MAXIMA data, allowing for the possibility of a time-varying fine-structure constant. We find that in general this data prefers a value of $α$ that was smaller in the past (which is in agreement with measurements of $α$ from quasar observations). However, there are some interesting degeneracies in the problem which imply that strong statements about $α$ can not be made using this method until independent accurate determinations of $Ω_b h^2$ and $H_0$ are available. We also show that a preferred lower value of $α$ comes mainly from the data points around the first Doppler peak, whereas the main effect of the high-$\ell$ data points is to increase the preferred value for $Ω_b h^2$ (while also tightening the constraints on $Ω_0$ and $H_0$). We comment on some implications of our results.
