A coupled-channel analysis of $KΛ$ production in the nucleon resonance region
A unitary coupled-channel effective Lagrangian model is applied to the combined analysis of the $(\pi,\gamma) N \to K\Lambda$ reactions in the energy region up to 2 GeV. To constrain the resonance couplings to the $K\Lambda$ final state the recent photoproduction data obtained by the SAPHIR, SPring-8, and CLAS groups a...

Covariant theory of particle-vibrational coupling and its effect on the single-particle spectrum
The Relativistic Mean Field (RMF) approach describing the motion of independent particles in effective meson fields is extended by a microscopic theory of particle vibrational coupling.

On the sign of the pi-rho-omega coupling constant
It is shown that the relative sign between the $NN\omega$ and $\pi\rho\omega$ coupling constants can be determined most sensitively from $\omega$ production processes in $NN$ collisions. Recent data on these reactions clearly favor the sign of the $\pi\rho\omega$ coupling constant which is opposite to that inferred fro...

Berry's phase with quantized field driving: effects of inter-subsystem coupling
The effect of inter-subsystem couplings on the Berry phase of a composite system as well as that of its subsystem is investigated in this paper. We analyze two coupled spin-$\frac 1 2 $ particles with one driven by a quantized field as an example, the pure state geometric phase of the composite system as well as the mi...

Entanglement and the Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen paradox with coupled intracavity optical downconverters
We show that two evanescently coupled $\chi^{(2)}$ parametric downconverters inside a Fabry-Perot cavity provide a tunable source of quadrature squeezed light, Einstein-Podolsky-Rosen correlations and quantum entanglement. Analysing the operation in the below threshold regime, we show how these properties can be contro...

Unmodulated spin chains as universal quantum wires
We study a quantum state transfer between two qubits interacting with the ends of a quantum wire consisting of linearly arranged spins coupled by an excitation conserving, time-independent Hamiltonian. We show that if we control the coupling between the source and the destination qubits and the ends of the wire, the ev...

Mesoscopic continuous and discrete channels for quantum information transfer
We study the possibility of realizing perfect quantum state transfer in mesoscopic devices. We discuss the case of the Fano-Anderson model extended to two impurities. For a channel with an infinite number of degrees of freedom, we obtain coherent behavior in the case of strong coupling or in weak coupling off-resonance...

Possibility of Inhomogeneous Coupling Leading to Decoherence in an Electromagnetically-Induced-Transparency Quantum-Memory Process
The effect of inhomogeneous coupling between three-level atoms and external light fields is studied in the electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) quantum memory techqnique. By introducing a subensemble-atomic system to deal with present inhomogeneous coupling case, we find there is a non-symmetric dark-state su...

Dipole induced transparency in drop-filter cavity-waveguide systems
We show that a waveguide that is normally opaque due to interaction with a drop-filter cavity can be made transparent when the drop filter is also coupled to a dipole. A transparency condition is derived between the cavity lifetime and vacuum Rabi frequency of the dipole. This condition is much weaker than strong coupl...

Dephasing due to Intermode Coupling in Superconducting Stripline Resonators
The nonlinearity exhibited by the kinetic inductance of a superconducting stripline couples stripline resonator modes together in a manner suitable for quantum non-demolition measurement of the number of photons in a given resonator mode. Quantum non-demolition measurement is accomplished by coherently driving another ...

Coupled-channel version of PT-symmetric square well
Coupled pair of PT-symmetric square wells is studied as a prototype of a quantum system characterized by two manifestly non-Hermitian commuting observables. We demonstrate that there exists a domain of couplings where both the respective sets of eigenvalues (viz., energies and spin projections) remain real and where th...

Universal destabilization and slowing of spin transfer functions by a bath of spins
We investigate the effect of a spin bath on the spin transfer functions of a permanently coupled spin system. When each spin is coupled to a seperate environment, the effect on the transfer functions in the first excitation sector is amazingly simple: the group velocity is slowed down by a factor of two, and the fideli...

Multichannel coupling with supersymmetric quantum mechanics and exactly-solvable model for Feshbach resonance
A new type of supersymmetric transformations of the coupled-channel radial Schroedinger equation is introduced, which do not conserve the vanishing behavior of solutions at the origin. Contrary to usual transformations, these ``non-conservative'' transformations allow, in the presence of thresholds, the construction of...

Geometric phase in open systems: beyond the Markov approximation and weak coupling limit
Beyond the quantum Markov approximation and the weak coupling limit, we present a general theory to calculate the geometric phase for open systems with and without conserved energy. As an example, the geometric phase for a two-level system coupling both dephasingly and dissipatively to its environment is calculated. Co...

Finite-dimensional states and entanglement generation for a nonlinear coupler
We discuss a system comprising two nonlinear (Kerr-like) oscillators coupled mutually by a nonlinear interaction. The system is excited by an external coherent field that is resonant to the frequency of one of the oscillators. We show that the coupler evolution can be closed within a finite set of $n$-photon states, an...

Universal decoherence induced by an environmental quantum phase transition
Decoherence induced by coupling a system with an environment may display universal features. Here we demostrate that when the coupling to the system drives a quantum phase transition in the environment, the temporal decay of quantum coherences in the system is Gaussian with a width independent of the system-environment...

The Super-Strong Coupling Regime of Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics
We describe a qualitatively new regime of cavity quantum electrodynamics, the super strong coupling regime. This regime is characterized by atom-field coupling strengths of the order of the free spectral range of the cavity, resulting in a significant change in the spatial mode functions of the light field. It can be r...

Relaxation- and Decoherence-free subspaces in networks of weakly and strongly coupled resonators
We consider a network of interacting resonators and analyze the physical ingredients that enable the emergence of relaxation-free and decoherence-free subspaces. We investigate two different situations: i) when the whole network interacts with a common reservoir and ii) when each resonator, strongly coupled to each oth...

Spontaneous emergence of angular momentum Josephson oscillations in coupled annular Bose-Einstein condensates
We investigate the nonlinear dynamics of two coupled annular Bose-Einstein condensates (BECs). For certain values of the coupling strength the nonrotating ground state is unstable with respect to fluctuations in the higher angular momentum modes. The two branched Bogoliubov spectrum exhibits distinct regions of instabi...

Use of dynamical coupling for improved quantum state transfer
We propose a method to improve quantum state transfer in transmission lines. The idea is to localize the information on the last qubit of a transmission line, by dynamically varying the coupling constants between the first and the last pair of qubits. The fidelity of state transfer is higher then in a chain with fixed ...
