Effects of CO2 on H2O band profiles and band strengths in mixed H2O:CO2 ices

Karin I. Oberg, Helen J. Fraser, A. C. Adwin Boogert +4

H2O is the most abundant component of astrophysical ices. In most lines of sight it is not possible to fit both the H2O 3 um stretching, the 6 um bending and the 13 um libration ba…

Eigen modes for the problem of anomalous light transmission through subwavelength holes

B. Sturman, E. Podivilov, M. Gorkunov

We show that the wide-spread concept of optical eigen modes in lossless waveguide structures, which assumes the separation on propagating and evanescent modes, fails in the case of…

Maximum observable correlation for a bipartite quantum system

Michael J. W. Hall, Erika Andersson, Thomas Brougham

The maximum observable correlation between the two components of a bipartite quantum system is a property of the joint density operator, and is achieved by making particular measur…

Retrodictive fidelities for pure state postselectors

John Jeffers

Two measures of fidelity are proposed for postselecting devices, the retrodictive conditional probability that the state in the measurement arm is the one indicated by the detector…

Stylized facts from a threshold-based heterogeneous agent model

R. Cross, M. Grinfeld, H. Lamba +1

A class of heterogeneous agent models is investigated where investors switch trading position whenever their motivation to do so exceeds some critical threshold. These motivations…
