    Quantum control by effective counterdiabatic driving

    No full text
    We review a scheme for the systematic design of quantum control protocols based on shortcuts to adiabaticity in few-level quantum systems. The adiabatic dynamics is accelerated by introducing high-frequency modulations in the control Hamiltonian, which mimic a time-dependent counterdiabatic correction. We present a number of applications for the high-fidelity realization of quantum state transfers and quantum gates based on effective counterdiabatic driving, in platforms ranging from superconducting circuits to Rydberg atoms

    Typical features of the Mintert-Buchleitner lower bound for concurrence

    Despite the great importance of quantum entanglement, a computationally practical, physically motivated, and experimentally implementable way to estimate the amount of entanglement associated with a general mixed state of a bipartite quantum system is still lacking. An entanglement lower bound recently advanced by Mintert and Buchleitner Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 140505 2007 was proposed as a possible tool for the aforementioned task. Mintert and Buchleitner presented evidence indicating that, due to its tightness, in some important cases the alluded bound can be used as an entanglement measure. From the physical point of view, what makes this bound particularly appealing as an entanglement measure is that it is based on an observable quantity. For this last reason, and also because of its other attractive feature, mathematical simplicity, this promising bound and its possible use as an entanglement estimator certainly deserve to be the focus of careful attention. The usefulness of the bound as an entanglement measure, however, depends on its degree of tightness. Here we perform a systematic survey of the behavior of the alluded bound in state space, in order to determine its typical properties in particular its tightness and thus assess its value as an entanglement estimator.This work was partially supported by MEC Grant No. FIS2008-00781 Spain, EU , by Junta de Andalucia Programs No. FQM-2445 and No. FQM-207 Spain, EU , by FEDER EU , and by CONICET Argentine Agency .

    Das Ergebnis dieser Diplomarbeit ist ein System, das SGML/XML-kodierte Dokumente für die Veröffentlichung im World Wide Web aufbereitet. Der Benutzer, d.h. der Leser, hat die Möglichkeit, nach Stichworten in einer von mehreren Kategorien zu suchen. Suchbegriff und Suchkategorie ersetzen die häufig zu ungenaue Volltextsuche. Im Gegensatz zu den Ausgaben von herkömmlichen Suchfunktionen erhält er als Ergebnis keinen vorgefertigten Ausschnitt aus dem Dokument (z.B. ein Kapitel, einen Abschnitt usw.). Vielmehr wird der Ausschnitt in Abhängigkeit der Textstelle bestimmt, die bei der Suche als Treffer ermittelt wurde. Die Definition solcher Dokumentausschnitte und der Suchkategorie findet mit Bezug auf den Dokumenttyp, nicht bezüglich des konkreten Textes statt. Diese Herangehensweise besitzt den Vorteil, notwendige Konfigurationen nur einmal je Dokumenttyp machen zu müssen, die dann für sämtliche Dokumente dieses Typs anwendbar sind. Die Arbeit ist die elektronische Version der Diplomarbeit Mintert, Stefan: Automatisierte WWW-Veröffentlichung auf der Basis formaler Auszeichnungssprachen"

    Dynamical enhancement of spatial entanglement in massive particles

    We discuss dynamical enhancement of entanglement in a driven Bose-Hubbard model and find an enhancement of two orders of magnitude from the ground state value which is robust against fluctuations in experimental parameters

    Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis

    No full text
    The present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed

    Variations on the Author

    No full text
    “Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship

    Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis

    No full text
    We provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
