Deformations of symplectic vortices

Eduardo Gonzalez, Chris Woodward

We prove a gluing theorem for a symplectic vortex on a compact complex curve and a collection of holomorphic sphere bubbles. Using the theorem we show that the moduli space of regu…

Engineering Giant Nonlinearities in Quantum Nanosystems

Kurt Jacobs, Andrew Landahl

We describe a method to engineer giant nonlinearities in, and probes to measure nonlinear observables of, mesoscopic quantum resonators. This involves tailoring the Hamiltonian of…

Ultra-Thin Silver Films obtained by Sequential Quench-Anneal Processing

S. B. Arnason, A. F. Hebard

We have used the two-step growth technique, quench condensing followed by an anneal, to grow ultra thin films of silver on glass substrates. As has been seen with semiconductor sub…

Engineering Superposition States and Tailored Probes for Nano-resonators Via Open-Loop Control

Kurt Jacobs, Lin Tian, Justin Finn

We show that a nano-resonator can be prepared in mesoscopic-superposition states merely by monitoring a qubit coupled to the square of the resonators position. This works for therm…

Effect of pressure on the anomalous response functions of a confined water monolayer at low temperature

Marco G. Mazza, Kevin Stokely, H. Eugene Stanley +1

We study a coarse-grained model for a water monolayer that cannot crystallize due to the presence of confining interfaces, such as protein powders or inorganic surfaces. Using both…

A Monte Carlo Method for Modeling Thermal Damping: Beyond the Brownian-Motion Master Equation

Kurt Jacobs

The "standard" Brownian motion master equation, used to describe thermal damping, is not completely positive, and does not admit a Monte Carlo method, important in numerical simula…

Cohomology of GKM Fiber Bundles

Victor Guillemin, Silvia Sabatini, Catalin Zara

The equivariant cohomology ring of a GKM manifold is isomorphic to the cohomology ring of its GKM graph. In this paper we explore the implications of this fact for equivariant fibe…

Threshold for Chaos and Thermalization in One-Dimensional Mean-Field Bose-Hubbard Model

Amy C. Cassidy, Douglas Mason, Vanja Dunjko +1

We study the threshold for chaos and its relation to thermalization in the 1D mean-field Bose-Hubbard model, which in particular describes atoms in optical lattices. We identify th…

Mixed Hodge Structures and Renormalization in Physics

Spencer Bloch, Dirk Kreimer

We relate renormalization in perturbative quantum field theory to the theory of limiting mixed Hodge structures using parametric representations of Feynman graphs.

On Halo Formation Times and Assembly Bias

Yun Li, H. J. Mo, L. Gao

In this paper we use the ``Millennium Simulation'' to re-examine the mass assembly history of dark matter halos and the age dependence of halo clustering. We use eight different de…

Locally Optimal Control of Quantum Systems with Strong Feedback

Alireza Shabani, Kurt Jacobs

For quantum systems with high purity, we find all observables that, when continuously monitored, maximize the instantaneous reduction in the von Neumann entropy. This allows us to…

Back-action evasion and squeezing of a mechanical resonator using a cavity detector

A. A. Clerk, F. Marquardt, K. Jacobs

We study the quantum measurement of a cantilever using a parametrically-coupled electromagnetic cavity which is driven at the two sidebands corresponding to the mechanical motion.…
