Quantum Lower Bounds for Fanout

Maosen Fang, Stephen Fenner, Frederic Green +2

We prove several new lower bounds for constant depth quantum circuits. The main result is that parity (and hence fanout) requires log depth circuits, when the circuits are composed…

Variance fluctuations in nonstationary time series: a comparative study of music genres

Heather D. Jennings, Plamen Ch. Ivanov, A. M. Martins +2

An important problem in physics concerns the analysis of audio time series generated by transduced acoustic phenomena. Here, we develop a new method to quantify the scaling propert…

Finite Size Fluctuations in Interacting Particle Systems

E. Ben-Naim, P. L. Krapivsky

Fluctuations may govern the fate of an interacting particle system even on the mean-field level. This is demonstrated via a three species cyclic trapping reaction with a large, yet…

CMB Signals of Neutrino Mass Generation

Z. Chacko, Lawrence J. Hall, Takemichi Okui +1

We propose signals in the cosmic microwave background to probe the type and spectrum of neutrino masses. In theories that have spontaneous breaking of approximate lepton flavor sym…

Ghost Condensation and a Consistent Infrared Modification of Gravity

Nima Arkani-Hamed, Hsin-Chia Cheng, Markus A. Luty +1

We propose a theoretically consistent modification of gravity in the infrared, which is compatible with all current experimental observations. This is an analog of Higgs mechanism…

Neutrino mass limits from SDSS, 2dFGRS and WMAP

V. Barger, Danny Marfatia, Adam Tregre

We investigate whether cosmological data suggest the need for massive neutrinos. We employ galaxy power spectrum measurements from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Two D…

Uniform test of algorithmic randomness over a general space

Peter Gacs

The algorithmic theory of randomness is well developed when the underlying space is the set of finite or infinite sequences and the underlying probability distribution is the unifo…

Universal adiabatic dynamics across a quantum critical point

Anatoli Polkovnikov

We study temporal behavior of a quantum system under a slow external perturbation, which drives the system across a second order quantum phase transition. It is shown that despite…

Spatial Growth of Real-world Networks

Marcus Kaiser, Claus C. Hilgetag

Many real-world networks have properties of small-world networks, with clustered local neighborhoods and low average-shortest path (ASP). They may also show a scale-free degree dis…

Aging in short-ranged attractive colloids: A numerical study

G. Foffi, E. Zaccarelli, S. Buldyrev +2

We study the aging dynamics in a model for dense simple liquids, in which particles interact through a hard-core repulsion complemented by a short-ranged attractive potential, of t…

Extremal Properties of Random Structures

E. Ben-Naim, P. L. Krapivsky, S. Redner

The extremal characteristics of random structures, including trees, graphs, and networks, are discussed. A statistical physics approach is employed in which extremal properties are…

Entangled-Photon Imaging of a Pure Phase Object

Ayman F. Abouraddy, Patrick R. Stone, Alexander V. Sergienko +2

We demonstrate experimentally and theoretically that a coherent image of a pure phase object may be obtained by use of a spatially incoherent illumination beam. This is accomplishe…

Dynamical obstruction in a constrained system and its realization in lattices of superconducting devices

C. Castelnovo, P. Pujol, C. Chamon

Hard constraints imposed in statistical mechanics models can lead to interesting thermodynamical behaviors, but may at the same time raise obstructions in the thoroughfare to therm…
