Constraints on short-range spin-dependent interactions from scalar spin-spin coupling in deuterated molecular hydrogen
A comparison between existing measurements and calculations of the scalar spin-spin interaction (J-coupling) in deuterated molecular hydrogen (HD) yields stringent constraints on anomalous spin-dependent potentials between nucleons at the atomic scale (${\rm \sim 1 \AA}$). The dimensionless coupling constant $g_P^pg_P^...

Early Higgs Hints for Non-Minimal Supersymmetry
We discuss the role that Higgs coupling measurements can play in differentiating supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. Fitting current LHC data to the Higgs couplings, we find that the likelihood fit shows a preference in the direction of suppressed (enhanced) bottom (top) quark couplings. In the minimal sup...

Perturbative Critical Behavior from Spacetime Dependent Couplings
We find novel perturbative fixed points by introducing mildly spacetime-dependent couplings into otherwise marginal terms. In four-dimensional QFT, these are physical analogues of the small-$\epsilon$ Wilson-Fisher fixed point. Rather than considering $4-\epsilon$ dimensions, we stay in four dimensions but introduce co...

Effect of Monolayer Thickness Fluctuations on Coherent Exciton Coupling in Single Quantum Wells
Monolayer fluctuations in the thickness of a semiconductor quantum well (QW) lead to three types of excitons, located in the narrower, average and thicker regions of the QW, which are clearly resolved in optical spectra.

Fate of a Bose-Einstein Condensate in the Presence of Spin-Orbit Coupling

Weak electron-phonon coupling in the early alkali atomic wires
The structural, electronic and vibrational properties of atomic wires composed of the early alkali metals lithium and sodium are studied using density functional perturbation theory. The s-like electronic states near the Fermi level couple very weakly to longitudinal acoustic phonons and not at all to the transverse ac...

Attenuation of excitation decay rate due to collective effect
We study a series of $N$ oscillators each coupled to its nearest neighbours, and linearly to a phonon field through the oscillator's number operator. We show that the Hamiltonian of a pair of adjacent oscillators, or a dimer, within the series of oscillators can be transformed to a form in which they are collectively c...

Stable non-Fermi liquid phase of itinerant spin-orbit coupled ferromagnets
Direct coupling between gapless bosons and a Fermi surface results in the destruction of Landau quasiparticles and a breakdown of Fermi liquid theory. Such a non-Fermi liquid phase arises in spin-orbit coupled ferromagnets with spontaneously broken continuous symmetries due to strong coupling between rotational Goldsto...

The role of intermediaries in the synchronization of pulse-coupled oscillators
The role of intermediaries in the synchronization of small groups of light controlled oscillators (LCO) is addressed. A single LCO is a two-time-scale phase oscillator. When pulse-coupling two LCOs, the synchronization time decreases monotonously as the coupling strength increases, independent of the initial conditions...

Edge binding of sine-Gordon solitons in spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensates
In recent experiments with ultracold gases a Raman coupling scheme is used to produce both spin-orbit (SO) and Zeeman-type couplings [Y.-J. Lin et al., Nature 471, 83 (2011)]. Their competition drives a phase transition to a magnetized state with broken $Z_2$ symmetry. Using a hydrodynamic approach we study a confined ...

Atomic electronic states: the L-S and j-j coupling schemes and their correlation
In the first part of this paper, we review the assumption of the L-S coupling scheme, with which we derive the electronic states arising from a given atomic configuration. Then, with the aid of the spectral data of Group 15 elements, it becomes clear that the assumption of the L-S coupling scheme is no longer valid as ...

Kinetic mixing and symmetry breaking dependent interactions of the dark photon
We examine spontaneous symmetry breaking of a renormalisable U(1) x U(1) gauge theory coupled to fermions when kinetic mixing is present. We do not assume that the kinetic mixing parameter is small. A rotation plus scaling is used to remove the mixing and put the gauge kinetic terms in the canonical form. Fermion curre...

A high quality, efficiently coupled microwave cavity for trapping cold molecules
We characterize a Fabry-Perot microwave cavity designed for trapping atoms and molecules at the antinode of a microwave field. The cavity is fed from a waveguide through a small coupling hole. Focussing on the compact resonant modes of the cavity, we measure how the electric field profile, the cavity quality factor, an...

Gauge Field Localization on the Brane Through Geometrical Coupling
In this paper we consider a geometrical Yukawa coupling as a solution to the problem of gauge field localization. We show that upon dimensional reduction the vector field component of the field is localized but the scalar component ($A_5$) is not. We show this for any smooth version of the Randall-Sundrum model. The co...

Phase separation in a spin-orbit coupled Bose-Einstein condensate
We study a spin-orbit (SO) coupled hyperfine spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) in a quasi-one-dimensional trap. For a SO-coupled BEC in a one-dimensional box, we show that in the absence of the Rabi term, any non-zero value of SO coupling will result in a phase separation among the components for a ferromagnetic BE...

Stable Coupling of Nonconforming, High-Order Finite Difference Methods
A methodology for handling block-to-block coupling of nonconforming, multiblock summation-by-parts finite difference methods is proposed. The coupling is based on the construction of projection operators that move a finite difference grid solution along an interface to a space of piecewise defined functions; we specifi...

Polarization of a quasi two-dimensional repulsive Fermi gas with Rashba spin-orbit coupling: a variational study
Motivated by the remarkable experimental control of synthetic gauge fields in ultracold atomic systems, we investigate the effect of an artificial Rashba spin-orbit coupling on the spin polarization of a two-dimensional repulsive Fermi gas. By using a variational many-body wavefunction, based on a suitable spinorial st...

Long-distance radiative coupling between quantum dots in photonic crystal dimers
We study the mutual interaction between two identical quantum dots coupled to the normal modes of two-site photonic crystal molecules in a planar waveguide geometry, i.e. photonic crystal dimers. We find that the radiative coupling between the two quantum emitters is maximized when they are in resonance with either the...

Strain dependence of antiferromagnetic interface coupling in La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrRuO3 superlattices
We have investigated the magnetic response of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3/SrRuO3 superlattices to biaxial in-plane strain applied in-situ. Superlattices grown on piezoelectric substrates of 0.72PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3-0.28PbTiO3(001) (PMN-PT) show strong antiferromagnetic coupling of the two ferromagnetic components. The coupling field of m...

Dissipative optomechanics of a single-layer graphene in a microcavity
We study the optomechanical coupling of a single-layer graphene with a high-Q Fabry-Perot microcavity in the membrane-in-the-middle configuration. In ordinary dissipative coupling systems, mechanical oscillators modulate the loss associated with the input coupling of the cavity mode; while in our system, the graphene o...

Striped Ferronematic ground states in a spin-orbit coupled $S=1$ Bose gas
We theoretically establish the mean-field phase diagram of a homogeneous spin-$1$, spin-orbit coupled Bose gas as a function of the spin-dependent interaction parameter, the Raman coupling strength and the quadratic Zeeman shift. We find that the interplay between spin-orbit coupling and spin-dependent interactions lea...

Thermal Boundary Conductance Across Metal-Nonmetal Interfaces: Effects of Electron-Phonon Coupling both in Metal and at Interface
We theoretically investigate the thermal boundary conductance across metal-nonmetal interfaces in the presence of the electron-phonon coupling not only in metal but also at interface. The thermal energy can be transferred from metal to nonmetal via three channels: (1) the phonon-phonon coupling at interface; (2) the el...

Long Distance Coupling of a Quantum Mechanical Oscillator to the Internal States of an Atomic Ensemble
We propose and investigate a hybrid optomechanical system consisting of a micro-mechanical oscillator coupled to the internal states of a distant ensemble of atoms. The interaction between the systems is mediated by a light field which allows to couple the two systems in a modular way over long distances. Coupling to i...

The Gauss-Bonnet Coupling Constant in Classically Scale-Invariant Gravity

A technique for determining the dependence of the Gauss-Bonnet coupling constant on the remaining couplings is explained, and consistency with the local form of...

Iterative LMMSE Channel Estimation, Multiuser Detection, and Decoding via Spatial Coupling
Spatial coupling is utilized to improve the performance of iterative channel estimation, multiuser detection, and decoding for multiple-input multiple-input (MIMO) bit-interleaved coded modulation (BICM). Coupling is applied to both coding and BICM---the encoder uses a protograph-based spatially-coupled low-density par...

Localized systems coupled to small baths: from A$_{nderson}$ to Z$_{eno}$
We investigate what happens if an Anderson localized system is coupled to a small bath, with a discrete spectrum, when the coupling between system and bath is specially chosen so as to never localize the bath. We find that the effect of the bath on localization in the system is a non-monotonic function of the coupling ...
