First-passage method for the study of the efficiency of a two-channel reaction on a lattice
E. Abad
We study the efficiency of a two-channel reaction between two walkers on a finite one-dimensional periodic lattice. The walkers perform a combination of synchronous and asynchronou…
Field-free two-direction alignment alternation of linear molecules by elliptic laser pulses
D. Daems, S. Guérin, E. Hertz +3
We show that a linear molecule subjected to a short specific elliptically polarized laser field yields postpulse revivals exhibiting alignment alternatively located along the ortho…
Efficient and long-lived field-free orientation of molecules by a single hybrid short pulse
D. Daems, S. Guérin, D. Sugny +1
We show that a combination of a half-cycle pulse and a short nonresonant laser pulse produces a strongly enhanced postpulse orientation. Robust transients that display both efficie…
Reduced randomness in quantum cryptography with sequences of qubits encoded in the same basis
L. -P. Lamoureux, H. Bechmann-Pasquinucci, N. J. Cerf +2
We consider the cloning of sequences of qubits prepared in the states used in the BB84 or 6-state quantum cryptography protocol, and show that the single-qubit fidelity is unaffect…
BRST-antifield Quantization: a Short Review
Andrea Fuster, Marc Henneaux, Axel Maas
Most of the known models describing the fundamental interactions have a gauge freedom. In the standard path integral, it is necessary to "fix the gauge" in order to avoid integrati…
Nonextensive diffusion as nonlinear response
James F. Lutsko, Jean Pierre Boon
The porous media equation has been proposed as a phenomenological ``non-extensive'' generalization of classical diffusion. Here, we show that a very similar equation can be derived…
