In Quantum Chaotic Systems, The Spectral Form Factor (SFF), Defined As The Fourier Transform Of Two-Level Spectral Correlation Function, Is Known To Follow Random Matrix Theory (RMT), Namely A 'ramp' Followed By A 'plateau' In Late Times. Recently, A Generic Early-Time Deviation From RMT, So-Called The 'bump', Was Shown To Exist In Random Quantum Circuits As Toy Models For Many-Body Quantum Systems. We Demonstrate The Existence Of 'bump-Ramp-Plateau' Behavior In The SFF For A Number Of Paradigmatic And Stroboscopically-Driven 1D Cold-Atom Models: Spinless And Spin-1/2 Bose-Hubbard Models, And Nonintegrable Spin-1 Condensate With Contact Or Dipolar Interactions. We Find That The …

We Demonstrate That An Interferometer Based On Modulated Magnetic Field Pulses Enables Precise Characterization Of The Energies And Lifetimes Of Efimov Trimers Irrespective Of The Magnitude And Sign Of The Interactions In Rb85 Thermal Gases. Despite Thermal Effects, Interference Fringes Develop When The Dark Time Between The Pulses Is Varied. This Enables The Selective Excitation Of Coherent Superpositions Of Trimer, Dimer, And Free-Atom States. The Interference Patterns Possess Two Distinct Damping Timescales At Short And Long Dark Times That Are Either Equal To Or Twice As Long As The Lifetime Of Efimov Trimers, Respectively. Specifically, This Behavior At Long Dark …

Doubly Differential Ionization In Proton-Helium Collisions At Intermediate Energies: Energy Distribution Of Emitted Electrons As A Function Of Scattered-Projectile Angle, K. H. Spicer, C. T. Plowman, Michael Schulz, A. S. Kadyrov

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Differential studies of the proton-helium scattering problem using the two-center wave-packet convergent close-coupling approach is extended to the calculation of the ionization cross section differential in the electron emission energy and the projectile scattering angle. The results obtained using the correlated two-electron and effective one-electron methods are in reasonably good agreement with experiment. While the shape of the doubly differential cross section generally agrees with the results of the experiment, at some emission energies its magnitude does not. This appears consistent with similar disagreement seen in the singly differential cross section at the same emission energies.


Quantum Electrodynamic Corrections To Cyclotron States In A Penning Trap, Ulrich D. Jentschura, Christopher Moore Aug 2023

Quantum Electrodynamic Corrections To Cyclotron States In A Penning Trap, Ulrich D. Jentschura, Christopher Moore

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We analyze the leading and higher-order quantum electrodynamic corrections to the energy levels for a single electron bound in a Penning trap, including the Bethe logarithm correction due to virtual excitations of the reference quantum cyclotron state. The effective coupling parameter αc in the Penning trap is identified as the square root of the ratio of the cyclotron frequency, converted to an energy via multiplication by the Planck constant, to the electron rest mass energy. We find a large, state-independent, logarithmic one-loop self-energy correction of order α αc4mc2ln(αc-2), where m is the …


Algebraic Approach To Relativistic Landau Levels In The Symmetric Gauge, Ulrich D. Jentschura Jul 2023

Algebraic Approach To Relativistic Landau Levels In The Symmetric Gauge, Ulrich D. Jentschura

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We use an algebraic approach to the calculation of Landau levels for a uniform magnetic field in the symmetric gauge with a vector potential A→=12(B→xr→), where B→ is assumed to be constant. The magnetron quantum number constitutes the degeneracy index. An overall complex phase of the wave function, given in terms of Laguerre polynomials, is a consequence of the algebraic structure. The relativistic generalization of the treatment leads to fully relativistic bispinor Landau levels in the symmetric gauge, in a representation which writes the relativistic states in terms of their nonrelativistic limit, and an algebraically accessible lower bispinor component. Negative-energy …

We construct accurate emulators for the projected and redshift space galaxy correlation functions and excess surface density as measured by galaxy-galaxy lensing, based on halo occupation distribution modeling. Using the complete Mira-Titan suite of 111 N-body simulations, our emulators vary over eight cosmological parameters and include the effects of neutrino mass and dynamical dark energy. We demonstrate that our emulators are sufficiently accurate for the analysis of the Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey DR12 CMASS galaxy sample over the range 0.5 ≤ r ≤ 50 h −1 Mpc. Furthermore, we show that our emulators are capable of recovering unbiased cosmological constraints …


Logarithmic Terms In Atom-Surface Potentials: Limited Applicability Of Rational Approximations For Intermediate Distance, Ulrich D. Jentschura, C. Moore Jul 2023

Logarithmic Terms In Atom-Surface Potentials: Limited Applicability Of Rational Approximations For Intermediate Distance, Ulrich D. Jentschura, C. Moore

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

It is usually assumed that interaction potentials, in general, and atom-surface potential, in particular, can be expressed in terms of an expansion involving integer powers of the distance between the two interacting objects. Here, we show that, in the short-range expansion of the interaction potential of a neutral atom and a dielectric surface, logarithms of the atom-wall distance appear. These logarithms are accompanied with logarithmic sums over virtual excitations of the atom interacting with the surface in analogy to Bethe logarithms in quantum electrodynamics. We verify the presence of the logarithmic terms in the short-range expansion using a model problem …

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We propose a generalization of the widely used fractional Brownian motion (FBM), memory-multi-FBM (MMFBM), to describe viscoelastic or persistent anomalous diffusion with time-dependent memory exponent α(t) in a changing environment. In MMFBM the built-in, long-range memory is continuously modulated by α(t). We derive the essential statistical properties of MMFBM such as its response function, mean-squared displacement (MSD), autocovariance function, and Gaussian distribution. In contrast to existing forms of FBM with time-varying memory exponents but a reset memory structure, the instantaneous dynamic of MMFBM is influenced by the process history, e.g., we show that after a steplike change of α(t) the …

Anderson Localization Of Electromagnetic Waves In Three Dimensions, Alexey Yamilov, Sergey E. Skipetrov, Tyler W. Hughes, Momchil Minkov, Zongfu Yu, Hui Cao

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

Anderson localization is a halt of diffusive wave propagation in disordered systems. Despite extensive studies over the past 40 years, Anderson localization of light in three dimensions has remained elusive, leading to the question of its very existence. Recent advances have enabled finite-difference time-domain calculations to be sped up by orders of magnitude, allowing us to conduct brute-force numerical simulations of light transport in fully disordered three-dimensional systems with unprecedented dimension and refractive index difference. We show numerically three-dimensional localization of vector electromagnetic waves in random aggregates of overlapping metallic spheres, in sharp contrast to the absence of localization for …

Lagrangian Displacement Field Estimators In Cosmology, Atsuhisa Ota, Hee Jong Seo, Shun Saito, Florian Beutler

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

The late-time nonlinear Lagrangian displacement field is highly correlated with the initial field, so reconstructing it could enable us to extract primordial cosmological information. Our previous work [A. Ota et al., Phys. Rev. D 104, 123508 (2021)PRVDAQ2470-001010.1103/PhysRevD.104.123508] carefully studied the displacement field reconstructed from the late-time density field using the iterative method proposed by Schmittfull et al. [Phys. Rev. D 96, 023505 (2017)PRVDAQ2470-001010.1103/PhysRevD.96.023505] and found that it does not fully converge to the true, underlying displacement field (e.g., ∼8% offset at k∼0.2 h Mpc-1 at z=0.6). We also constructed the Lagrangian perturbation theory model for the reconstructed field, but the …

Physics Faculty Research & Creative Works

We revisit the derivation of the apparatus-dependent correction to the energy levels of quantum cyclotron states, as previously outlined [Boulware et al., Phys. Rev. D 32, 729 (1985)PRVDAQ0556-282110.1103/PhysRevD.32.729]. We evaluate the leading corrections to the axial, magnetron, cyclotron, and spin-projection-dependent energy levels due to the altered photon field quantization in the vicinity of a conducting wall. Our work significantly extends previous considerations. Quantum cyclotron states are used for the determination of the electron g factor in Penning traps. Our calculations show that the numerically largest apparatus-dependent corrections can be expected for the axial and magnetron frequencies, where they can be …

Waves propagate diffusively through disordered media, such as biological tissue, clouds, and paint, due to random scattering. Recent advances in optical wavefront shaping techniques have enabled controlling coherent light propagation in multiple-scattering samples. We overcome wave diffusion to deliver optical energy into a target region of arbitrary size and shape anywhere inside a strong-scattering system. This is particularly important for applications such as photoacoustic microscopy and optogenetics, where light needs to be deposited deep into biological tissue. For monochromatic light, we previously introduced the deposition matrix (DM) Z(ω), which maps its input wavefront to the field distribution in the target …

The wave-packet convergent close-coupling (WP-CCC) approach is applied to calculate the energy spectrum of electrons ejected in p+H2 collisions as a function of the scattering angle of the projectile. The calculations are performed for projectile energies of 75, 100, and 200 keV. At these incident energies there are many competing reaction channels that play an essential role in the collision dynamics. The target is modeled as an orientationally averaged effective one-electron system. The results are compared with available perturbative calculations and experimental data. Good agreement between the WP-CCC results and experimental data is found for small emission energies, especially when …

Our results lead to precise formulas for the distance-dependent enhancement and suppression of the decay rates of entangled superradiant and subradiant Dicke states (Bell states), as a function of the interatomic distance. The formulas include a long-range tail due to entanglement. We apply the result to an example calculation …

Waves remitted from a scattering medium carry information that can be used for non-invasive imaging and sensing. Such techniques are usually limited by a low photon budget. Recent progress in optical wavefront shaping has enabled coherent control with an order-of-magnitude enhancement of remission [1]. This experimental study necessitated increasingly demanding numerical simulations. Extending this line of research requires more sophisticated computational techniques capable of simulating multiple instances of even larger systems. Here, we demonstrate that remission geometry can be efficiently simulated using a novel open-source software package [2] Maxwell's Equations Solver with Thousands of Inputs (MESTI). To verify its numerical …
