{"title":"Asymptotic methods applied to integrals occurring in strong-laser-field processes","authors":"D B Milošević, A S Jašarević, D Habibović, E Hasović, A Čerkić and W Becker","doi":"10.1088/1751-8121/ad7212","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1088/1751-8121/ad7212","url":null,"abstract":"The quantum-mechanical transition amplitudes for atomic and molecular processes in strong laser fields are expressed in the form of multidimensional integrals of highly oscillatory functions. Such integrals are ideally suited for the evaluation by asymptotic methods for integrals. Furthermore, using these methods it is possible to identify, in the sense of Feynman’s path-integral formalism, the partial contributions of quantum orbits, which are related to particular solutions of the saddle-point equations. This affords insight into the physics of the problem, which would not have been possible by only solving these integrals numerically. We apply the saddle-point method to various quantum processes that are important in strong-field physics and attoscience. The special case of coalescing or near-coalescing saddle points requires application of the uniform approximation. We also present two modifications of the saddle-point method, for the cases where a singular point of the subintegral function exactly overlaps with a saddle point or is located in its close vicinity. Particular emphasis is on the classification of the saddle-point solutions. This problem is solved for the one-dimensional integral over the ionization time, relevant for above-threshold ionization (ATI), while for two-dimensional integrals a classification by the multi-index is introduced, which is particularly useful for the medium- and high-energy spectrum of high-order harmonic generation (HHG) and backward-scattered electrons (for high-order ATI). For the low-energy structures a classification using the multi-index is introduced for the forward-scattering quantum orbits. In addition to laser-induced processes such as ATI, HHG and high-order ATI, we consider laser-assisted scattering as an example of laser-assisted processes for which real solutions of the saddle-point equation exist. Particular attention is devoted to the quantum orbits that describe and visualize these processes. We also consider finite laser pulses, the semiclassical approximation, the role of the Coulomb field and the case of laser fields intense enough to lead into the relativistic regime.","PeriodicalId":16763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical","volume":"1960 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185945","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They provide an efficient description of many basic features of quantum theory and exhibit a rich structure. For prime dimensional systems, they may be defined by two quite different yet equivalent ways: The first is via stabilizer groups (maximal Abelian subgroups of the discrete Heisenberg–Weyl group). The second is via the orbits of the Clifford group acting on any computational basis state. However, in a general dimensional system, this equivalence breaks down, and consequently, it is desirable to clarify the difference and relation between the above two approaches to stabilizer states. In this work, we show that these two approaches are equivalent if and only if the system dimension is square-free (i.e. has no square factor). Furthermore, we completely reveal the relation between the Clifford orbits and stabilizer states in an arbitrary dimensional system, derive the explicit expressions of the Clifford orbits and determine their cardinalities.","PeriodicalId":16763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Beyond their fundamental significance in shaping our understanding of the quantum world, they also underpin crucial applications in quantum information theory. In this article, we investigate entropic uncertainty relations and entanglement detection with an emphasis on quantum measurements with design structures. On the one hand, we derive improved Rényi entropic uncertainty relations for design-structured measurements, exploiting the property that the sum of powered (e.g. squared) probabilities of obtaining different measurement outcomes is now invariant under unitary transformations of the measured system and can be easily computed. On the other hand, the above property essentially imposes a state-independent upper bound, which is achieved at all pure states, on one’s ability to predict local outcomes when performing a set of design-structured measurements on quantum systems. Realizing this, we also obtain criteria for detecting multipartite entanglement with design-structured measurements.","PeriodicalId":16763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical","volume":"25 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185946","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper explores the nature of NESS phase transitions (PTs) in a two-dimensional (2D) ferromagnetic Ising model on a square lattice under effective interactions using Monte Carlo (MC) algorithms. It requires extensive MC simulations using the modified Metropolis and Glauber update rules. Using an appropriate definition of an effective parameter h helps to qualify the modified update rules. For , the analytical solution shows that the nature of the PT (including the critical temperature) is independent of h. Furthermore, for , we study the steady-state properties of PTs using numerical methods. Therefore, we performed simulations for different lattice sizes and measured relevant physical quantities. From the data, we determined the numerical results of the transition temperature and relevant critical exponents for various values of h by applying finite-size scaling (FSS). We found that the FSS analysis of the exponents is consistent with the analytical values of the equilibrium 2D Ising model.","PeriodicalId":16763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical","volume":"67 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185948","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Typically, it is defined on the whole Euclidean space. The investigation of bounded domains, particularly in practical scenarios involving quantum-based simulations of dynamical systems, has received little attention so far. We consider the Koopman–von Neumann equation associated with an ordinary differential equation on a bounded domain whose trajectories are contained in the set’s closure. Our main results are the construction of a strongly continuous semigroup together with the existence and uniqueness of solutions of the associated initial value problem. To this end, a functional-analytic framework connected to Sobolev spaces is proposed and analyzed. Moreover, the connection of the Koopman–von Neumann framework to transport equations is highlighted.","PeriodicalId":16763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185971","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine the network-organized SIR model, incorporating the Matthew effect and double delays, to demonstrate how network structures directly impact critical delay values, providing insights into historical patterns of disease spread. The study reveals that both susceptible and infected individuals experience a latent period due to interactions between the Matthew effect and incubation, mirroring historical patterns observed in seasonal flu outbreaks. The emergence of chaotic states is observed when two delays intersect critical curves, highlighting the complex dynamics that can arise in historical epidemic models. A novel approach is introduced, utilizing eigenvalue ratios from minimum/maximum Laplacian matrices (excluding 0) and critical delay values, to identify stable regions within network-organized systems, providing a new tool for historical epidemiological analysis. The paper further explores dynamic and biological mechanisms, discussing how these findings can inform historical and contemporary strategies for managing infectious disease outbreaks.","PeriodicalId":16763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical","volume":"32 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The existing finite versions have simple definitions, but they are based only on the existence of a formal analogy with the continuous-variable Wigner function and do not allow an intuitive state analysis. The continuous versions have more complicated definitions, but they are closer to the original Wigner function and allow a visualization of the quantum states. The version based on the concept of tight frame we present is finite, but it has certain properties and applications similar to those of continuous versions. It allows us to present a new graphical representation of qubit states, and to define new parameters concerning them. An important advantage of frame representation follows from the use of redundant information. The values taken by the frame version of Wigner function are not independent. They have to satisfy a large number of mathematical relations, useful in error detection and correction.","PeriodicalId":16763,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics A: Mathematical and Theoretical","volume":"392 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142185976","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
