The connection between the Laplace method and soliton equations of hyperbolic type remains less studied. The article shows that the Laplace cascade also has important applications in the theory of hyperbolic equations of the soliton type. Laplace’s method provides a simple way to construct such fundamental objects related to integrability theory as the recursion operator, the Lax pair and Dubrovin-type equations, allowing one to find algebro-geometric solutions. As an application of this approach, previously unknown recursion operators and Lax pairs are found for two nonlinear integrable equations of the sine-Gordon type.

Adopting a histories-based (or ‘path integral’) framework, we relate RC to a condition we term ‘Persistence of Zero’ (PoZ), according to which an event E of measure zero remains forbidden if one forms its conjunction with any other event associated to a spacetime region that is later than or spacelike to that of E . We also relate PoZ to the Bell inequalities by showing that, in combination with a second, more technical condition it leads to the quantal counterpart of Fine’s patching theorem in much the same way as Bell’s condition of local causality leads to Fine’s original theorem. We then argue that RC per se has very little to say on the matter of which correlations can occur in nature and which cannot. From the point of view we arrive at, histories-based quantum theories are nonlocal in spacetime , and fully in compliance with RC .","PeriodicalId":16785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics A","volume":"74 8","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135088360","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, we show how, regardless of the surface geometry, the domain-walls locate along the lattice sites for which the (Euclidean) distances to nearest and next-nearest neighbors are equal. We analyze the response of the domain-walls to an external electric field and observe displacements and splittings thereof below and above a critical electric field, respectively.

The performance of control of systems often deteriorates due to systematic errors. In one-qubit control, the pulse length error (PLE) is a typical systematic error, which is often caused by deviation of the strength of the control field. A composite quantum gate (CQG) is a method for suppressing effects of such systematic errors at the cost of a long operation time. A longer operation time implies stronger decoherence, and thus a shorter CQG is preferable from the viewpoint of noise immunity. However, it has not been clear how short CQG can be implemented. This problem can be regarded as an optimization problem under constraints: optimizing the operation time while requiring the error robustness. In this paper, we find a lower bound on operation time of all CQGs with first-order robustness against the PLE, in which effects of the error are eliminated up to its first order. The derivation of this bound is based on a geometric property of robustness against the PLE. This can be used for search after high-performance CQGs.","PeriodicalId":16785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics A","volume":"67 5","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135087607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a case study, we demonstrate quantum contextuality associated with any nontrivial noncontextuality inequality for a class of useful scenarios by noticing a connection between the resource theory and measurement simulability. Additionally, we expose a formal composition rule that allows engineering complex scenarios from simpler ones. This approach provides insights into the noncontextual polytope structure for complex scenarios and facilitates the identification of possible quantum violations of noncontextuality inequalities.

A voter sits at each vertex in a hypercubic lattice (of dimension $d$) and is in one of two possible opinion states. The opinion state of each voter flips randomly, at a rate proportional to the fraction of the nearest neighbors that disagree with the voter. If the voters are initially independent and undecided, the model is known to lead to a consensus if and only if $dleq 2$. In this paper the model is subjected to stochastic resetting: the voters revert independently to their initial opinion according to a Poisson process of fixed intensity (the resetting rate). This resetting prescription induces kinetic equations for the average opinion state and for the two-point function of the model. For initial conditions consisting of undecided voters except for one decided voter at the origin, the one-point function evolves as the probability of presence of a diffusive random walker on the lattice, whose position is stochastically reset to the origin. The resetting prescription leads to a non-equilibrium steady state. For an initial state consisting of independent undecided voters, the density of domain walls in the steady state is expressed in closed form as a function of the resetting rate. This function is differentiable at zero if and only if $dgeq 5$.","PeriodicalId":16785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics A","volume":"88 18","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135091591","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In particular we will consider the minimum amount of energy density needed to ensure the existence of separable states between given spacelike separated regions. This is a first step towards improving our understanding of the balance between entanglement entropy and energy (density), which is of great physical interest in its own right and also in the context of black hole thermodynamics. We will focus concretely on a linear scalar quantum field in a topologically trivial, four-dimensional globally hyperbolic spacetime. For rather general spacelike separated regions A and B we prove the existence of a separable quasi-free Hadamard state. In Minkowski spacetime we provide a tighter construction for massive free scalar fields: given any R&gt;0 we construct a quasi-free Hadamard state which is stationary, homogeneous, spatially isotropic and separable between any two regions in an inertial time slice t= const. all of whose points have a distance &gt;R . We also show that the normal ordered energy density of these states can be made ≦10 31 m 4 (mR) -8 e -mR/4 (in Planck units).

Firstly, we study the energy correlations by calculating the density and 2nd moment of the Nearest Neighbor Spacing (NNS) and robustly quantify the crossover among various degrees of level repulsions. Secondly, the dynamical properties are determined from an exact calculation of the temporal evolution of the fidelity enabling an identification of the characteristic Thouless and the equilibration timescales. The relative depth of the correlation hole in the average fidelity serves as a dynamical signature of the crossover from chaos to integrability and enables us to construct the phase diagram of β-RPE in the γ-β plane. Our results are in qualitative agreement with numerically computed fidelity for N ≫ 2 matrix ensembles. Furthermore, we observe that for large N the 2nd moment of NNS and the relative depth of the correlation hole exhibit a second order phase transition at γ = 2.","PeriodicalId":16785,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Physics A","volume":" 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135192174","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
