Controlling Entanglement Dynamics by Choosing Appropriate Ratio between Cavity-Fiber Coupling and Atom-Cavity Coupling
The entanglement characteristics including the so-called sudden death effect between two identical two-level atoms trapped in two separate cavities connected by an optical fiber are studied. The results show that the time evolution of entanglement is sensitive not only to the degree of entanglement of the initial state...

Synthetic spin-orbit coupling in ultracold $Λ$-type atoms
We consider the simulation of non-abelian gauge potentials in ultracold atom systems with atom-field interaction in the $\Lambda$ configuration where two internal states of an atom are coupled to a third common one with a detuning. We find the simulated non-abelian gauge potentials can have the same structures as those...

Weyl meson and its implications in collider physics and cosmology
Local scale invariant theory leads to the existence of a new particle called the Weyl vector meson. We study a generalized Standard Model, which displays local scale invariance. The model contains a real scalar field, besides the Higgs multiplet and coupling between the Higgs and Weyl meson. For certain range of coupli...

A proposal for realizing a 3-qubit controlled-phase gate with superconducting qubit systems coupled to a cavity
We present a way to realize a 3-qubit quantum controlled-phase gate with superconducting qubit systems coupled to a cavity. This proposal does not require adjustment of the qubit level spacings or identical qubit-cavity coupling constants. Moreover, since only a resonant interaction is applied, the gate can be performe...

Finite element modeling of coupled optical microdisk resonators for displacement sensing
We analyze normal mode splitting in a pair of vertically coupled microdisk resonators. A full vectorial finite element model is used to find the eigen frequencies of the symmetric and antisymmetric composite modes as a function of coupling distance. We find that the coupled microdisks can compete with the best Fabry-Pe...

Quantum nanostructures in strongly spin-orbit coupled two-dimensional systems
Recent progress in experimental studies of low-dimensional systems with strong spin-orbit coupling poses a question on the effect of this coupling on the energy spectrum of electrons in semiconductor nanostructures. It is shown in the paper that this effect is profound in the strong coupling limit. In circular quantum ...

A double-channel waveguide with gain and loss is addressed and the corresponding coupled-mode equations are established by employing the coupled mode approach. Based on the coupled-mode equations, the beam dynamics in the double-channel waveguide with gain and loss is investigated, and the results show that there exist...

Adiabatic pumping through an interacting quantum dot with spin-orbit coupling
We study adiabatic pumping through a two-level quantum dot with spin-orbit coupling. Using a diagrammatic real-time approach, we calculate both the pumped charge and spin for a periodic variation of the dot's energy levels in the limit of weak tunnel coupling. Thereby, we compare the two limits of vanishing and infinit...

We calculate the low temperature properties of an acoustic polaron in three dimensions in thermal equilibrium at a given temperature using a specialized path integral Monte Carlo method. In particular we find numerical evidence that the chosen Hamiltonian for the acoustic polaron describes a phase transition from a loc...

QED with chiral nonminimal coupling: aspects of the Lorentz-violating quantum corrections
An effective model for QED with the addition of a nonminimal coupling with a chiral character is investigated. This term, which is proportional to a fixed 4-vector $b_\mu$, violates Lorentz symmetry and may originate a CPT-even Lorentz breaking term in the photon sector. It is shown that this Lorentz breaking CPT-even ...

Thermal emission in the ultrastrong coupling regime
We study thermal emission of a cavity quantum electrodynamic system in the ultrastrong-coupling regime where the atom-cavity coupling rate becomes comparable the cavity resonance frequency. In this regime, the standard descriptions of photodetection and dissipation fail. Following an approach that was recently put forw...

New Two-Componet Coupled KdV Equation and its Connection with the Generalized Harry Dym Equation
It is shown that, two different Lax operators in the Dym hierarchy, produce two generalized coupled Harry Dym equations. These equations transform, via the reciprocal link, to the coupled two-component KdV system. The first equation gives us new integrable two-component KdV system while the second reduces to the known ...

We show anti-crossings due to strong in-plane coupling of plasmon modes in dielectric-metal-dielectric structure with top 2D dielectric pattern. Experimentally measured anti-crossing widths are compared with those calculated by coupled mode theory. It is shown that the coupling strength of the plasmon modes can be cont...

Coupling limit order books and branching random walks
We consider a model for a one-sided limit order book proposed by Lakner et al. We show that it can be coupled with a branching random walk and use this coupling to answer a non-trivial question about the long-term behavior of the price. The coupling relies on a classical idea of enriching the state-space by artificiall...

Heavy flavor research is a vigorous and active topic in high-energy QCD physics. Comparing theoretical predictions to data as a function of flavor provides a unique opportunity to tease out properties of quark-gluon plasma.

Faddeev-Popov ghosts in quantum gravity beyond perturbation theory
We study the Faddeev-Popov ghost sector of asymptotically safe quantum gravity, which becomes non-perturbative in the ultraviolet. We point out that nonzero matter-ghost couplings and higher-order ghost self-interactions exist at a non-Gaussian fixed point for the gravitational couplings, i.e., in the ultraviolet. Thus...

The Einstein tensor is usually assumed to be proportional to the stress tensor due to the divergence free property of both object. This is not the only consistent way to couple matter to gravity;...
