Spectrum bandwidth narrowing of Thomson scattering X-rays with energy chirped electron beams from laser wakefield acceleration

Tong Xu, Min Chen, Fei-Yu Li +3

We study incoherent Thomson scattering between an ultrashort laser pulse and an electron beam accelerated from a laser wakefield. The energy chirp effects of the accelerated electr…

Self-truncated ionization injection and consequent monoenergetic electron bunches in laser wakefield acceleration

Ming Zeng, Min Chen, Zheng-Ming Sheng +2

The ionization-induced injection in laser wakefield acceleration has been recently demonstrated to be a promising injection scheme. However, the energy spread controlling in this m…

Communicability reveals a transition to coordinated behavior in multiplex networks

Ernesto Estrada, Jesus Gomez-Gardenes

We analyse the flow of information in multiplex networks by means of the communicability function. First, we generalize this measure from its definition from simple graphs to multi…

Observation of many-body long-range tunneling after a quantum quench

Florian Meinert, Manfred J. Mark, Emil Kirilov +5

Quantum tunneling constitutes one of the most fundamental processes in nature. We observe resonantly-enhanced long-range quantum tunneling in one-dimensional Mott-insulating Hubbar…

Quantum Optical State Comparison Amplifier

Electra Eleftheriadou, Stephen M. Barnett, John Jeffers

It is a fundamental principle of quantum theory that an unknown state cannot be copied or, as a consequence, an unknown optical signal cannot be amplified deterministically and per…

Entangling unitary gates on distant qubits with ancilla feedback

Kerem Halil Shah, Daniel K. L. Oi

By using an ancilla qubit as a mediator, two distant qubits can undergo a non-local entangling unitary operation. This is desirable for when attempting to scale up or distribute qu…

Frame patterns in n-cycles

Miles Jones, Sergey Kitaev, Jeffrey Remmel

In this paper, we study the distribution of the number of occurrences of the simplest frame pattern, called the pattern, in -cycles. Given an -cycle , we say that a pa…

Effective three-body interactions via photon-assisted tunneling in an optical lattice

Andrew J. Daley, Jonathan Simon

We present a simple, experimentally realizable method to make coherent three-body interactions dominate the physics of an ultracold lattice gas. Our scheme employs either lattice m…

A robust plasma-based laser amplifier via stimulated Brillouin scattering

Paulo Alves, Raoul Trines, Kathryn Humphrey +6

It is shown here that Brillouin amplification can be used to produce picosecond pulses of petawatt power. Brillouin amplification is far more resilient to fluctuations in the laser…
