Effective Hamiltonians in quantum physics: resonances and geometric phase

A. R. P. Rau, D. Uskov

Effective Hamiltonians are often used in quantum physics, both in time dependent and time independent contexts. Analogies are drawn between the two usages, the discussion framed pa…

Consistent discretizations as a road to quantum gravity

Rodolfo Gambini, Jorge Pullin

We present a brief description of the ``consistent discretization'' approach to classical and quantum general relativity. We exhibit a classical simple example to illustrate the ap…

Confined One Dimensional Harmonic Oscillator as a Two-Mode System

V. G. Gueorguiev, A. R. P. Rau, J. P. Draayer

The one-dimensional harmonic oscillator in a box problem is possibly the simplest example of a two-mode system. This system has two exactly solvable limits, the harmonic oscillator…

Numerical Simulations of the Onset and Stability of Dynamical Mass Transfer in Binaries

Mario C. R. D'Souza, Patrick M. Motl, Joel E. Tohline +1

Hydrodynamical simulations of semi-detached, polytropic binary stars are presented in an effort to study the onset and stability of dynamical mass transfer events. Initial, synchro…

Heisenberg limited measurements with superconducting circuits

Alexandre Guillaume, Jonathan P. Dowling

We describe an assembly of N superconducting qubits contained in a single-mode cavity. In the dispersive regime, the correlation between the cavity field and each qubit results in…

Review article: Linear optical quantum computing

Pieter Kok, W. J. Munro, Kae Nemoto +3

Linear optics with photon counting is a prominent candidate for practical quantum computing. The protocol by Knill, Laflamme, and Milburn [Nature 409, 46 (2001)] explicitly demonst…

Joint LIGO and TAMA300 Search for Gravitational Waves from Inspiralling Neutron Star Binaries

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, TAMA Collaboration

We search for coincident gravitational wave signals from inspiralling neutron star binaries using LIGO and TAMA300 data taken during early 2003. Using a simple trigger exchange met…

New, efficient, and accurate high order derivative and dissipation operators satisfying summation by parts, and applications in three-dimensional multi-block evolutions

Peter Diener, Ernst Nils Dorband, Erik Schnetter +1

We construct new, efficient, and accurate high-order finite differencing operators which satisfy summation by parts. Since these operators are not uniquely defined, we consider sev…

Cauchy-perturbative matching revisited: tests in spherical symmetry

Burkhard Zink, Enrique Pazos, Peter Diener +1

During the last few years progress has been made on several fronts making it possible to revisit Cauchy-perturbative matching (CPM) in numerical relativity in a more robust and acc…

Suppressed reflectivity due to spin-controlled localization in a magnetic semiconductor

F. P. Mena, J. F. DiTusa, D. van der Marel +4

The narrow gap semiconductor FeSi owes its strong paramagnetism to electron-correlation effects. Partial Co substitution for Fe produces a spin-polarized doped semiconductor. The s…
