Weibel Instabilities in Dense Quantum Plasmas

Levan N. Tsintsadze, P. K. Shukla

The quantum effect on the Weibel instability in an unmagnetized plasma is presented. Our analysis shows that the quantum effect tends to stabilize the Weibel instability in the hyd…

Ferroelectric ordering in chiral smectic C^* liquid crystals determined by nonchiral intermolecular interactions

M. A. Osipov, M. V. Gorkunov

General microscopic mechanism of ferroelectric ordering in chiral smectic C* liquid crystals is considered. It is shown that if the mesogenic molecules have a sufficiently low symm…

Bifurcations in the regularized Ericksen bar model

M. Grinfeld, G. J. Lord

We consider the regularized Ericksen model of an elastic bar on an elastic foundation on an interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions as a two-parameter bifurcation problem. We e…

Dielectronic recombination and stability of warm gas in AGN

Susmita Chakravorty, Ajit K. Kembhavi, Martin Elvis +2

Understanding the thermal equilibrium (stability) curve may offer insights into the nature of the warm absorbers often found in active galactic nuclei. Its shape is determined by f…

Dynamic Control of Laser Produced Proton Beams

S. Kar, K. Markey, P. T. Simpson +16

The emission characteristics of intense laser driven protons are controlled using ultra-strong (of the order of 10^9 V/m) electrostatic fields varying on a few ps timescale. The fi…

Tunability of wire-grid metamaterial immersed into nematic liquid crystal

M. V. Gorkunov, M. A. Osipov

We propose electrically tunable hybrid metamaterial consisting of special wire grid immersed into nematic liquid crystal. The plasma-like permittivity of the structure can be subst…

No-Signalling Bound on Quantum State Discrimination

Sarah Croke, Erika Andersson, Stephen M. Barnett

Quantum correlations do not allow signalling, and any operation which may be performed on one system of an entangled pair cannot be detected by measurement of the other system alon…

Estimating the expectation values of spin 1/2 observables with finite resources

Thomas Brougham, Erika Andersson

We examine the problem of estimating the expectation values of two observables when we have a finite number of copies of an unknown qubit state. Specifically we examine whether it…
