    An open-boundary integrable model of three coupled XY spin chains

    No full text
    The integrable open-boundary conditions for the model of three coupled one-dimensional XY spin chains are considered in the framework of the quantum inverse scattering method. The diagonal boundary K-matrices are found and a class of integrable boundary terms is determined. The boundary model Hamiltonian is solved by using the coordinate space Bethe ansatz technique and Bethe ansatz equations are derived. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V

    Geometric entanglement and quantum phase transition in generalized cluster-XY models

    No full text
    In this work, we investigate quantum phase transition (QPT) in a generic family of spin chains using the ground-state energy, the energy gap and the geometric measure of entanglement (GE). In many of prior works, GE per site was used. Here, we also consider GE per block with each block size being two. This can be regarded as a coarse grain of GE per site. We introduce a useful parameterization for the family of spin chains that includes the XY models with n-site interaction, the GHZ-cluster model and a cluster antiferromagnetic model, the last of which exhibits QPT between a symmetry-protected topological (SPT) phase and a symmetry-breaking antiferromagnetic phase. As the models are exactly solvable, their ground-state wavefunctions can be obtained, and thus, their GE can be studied. It turns out that the overlap of the ground states with translationally invariant product states can be exactly calculated, and hence, the GE can be obtained via further parameter optimization. The QPTs exhibited in these models are detected by the energy gap and singular behavior of geometric entanglement. In particular, the XzY model exhibits transitions from the nontrivial SPT phase to a trivial paramagnetic phase. Moreover, the halfway XY model exhibits a first-order transition across the Barouch-McCoy circle, on which it was only a crossover in the standard XY model.Peer reviewe

    A model system for study of sex chromosome effects on sexually dimorphic neural and behavioral traits

    We tested the hypothesis that genes encoded on the sex chromosomes play a direct role in sexual differentiation of brain and behavior. We used mice in which the testis-determining gene (Sry) was moved from the Y chromosome to an autosome (by deletion of Sry from the Y and subsequent insertion of an Sry transgene onto an autosome), so that the determination of testis development occurred independently of the complement of X or Y chromosomes. We compared XX and XY mice with ovaries (females) and XX and XY mice with testes (males). These comparisons allowed us to assess the effect of sex chromosome complement (XX vs XY) independent of gonadal status (testes vs ovaries) on sexually dimorphic neural and behavioral phenotypes. The phenotypes included measures of male copulatory behavior, social exploration behavior, and sexually dimorphic neuroanatomical structures in the septum, hypothalamus, and lumbar spinal cord. Most of the sexually dimorphic phenotypes correlated with the presence of ovaries or testes and therefore reflect the hormonal output of the gonads. We found, however, that both male and female mice with XY sex chromosomes were more masculine than XX mice in the density of vasopressin-immunoreactive fibers in the lateral septum. Moreover, two male groups differing only in the form of their Sry gene showed differences in behavior. The results show that sex chromosome genes contribute directly to the development of a sex difference in the brain

    An XY-displacement device (1) with a four-fold symmetry comprises a reference frame (10); an object mount (20) for holding an object (22) to be displaced; an X-manipulator (100) coupled between the reference frame (10) and the object mount (20), which provides a rigid coupling between the object mount (20) and a piezoelectric X-actuator (140), allows a Y-displacement of the object mount (20) relative to the reference frame (10), and counteracts a Z-displacement of the object mount (20) relative to the reference frame (10); ; and a Y-manipulator (200) coupled between the reference frame (10) and the object mount (20), which provides a rigid coupling between the object mount (20) and a piezoelectric Y-actuator (240), allows an X-displacement of the object mount (20) relative to the reference frame (10), and counteracts a Z-displacement of the object mount (20) relative to the reference frame (10).Applied Science

    Comparative analysis of LLM capabilities and their implementation potential in business workflows

    No full text
    Company XY is still growing and the processes have changed over the last few years. Therefore, they have never been drawn and analyzed systematically to see if there is any potential for optimization. For this reason, the author was commissioned to do so, and the following research questions have emerged: Are large language models capable of optimizing internal processes? What processes can be optimized? How can they be implemented? And what is the impact of set implementations? The goal of this paper is to get insights into the state of the processes and possible optimizations with a LLM
