Structure of D Pair in Collective States of Nuclei

As a successive work a modified D pair independent of the S pair treated in our previous papers is introduced to avoid the seniority mixing problem. The structure amplitudes of this D pair and S pair are determined simultaneously and self-consistently by iteration,

Collective states and shape competition in ^126Te

High-spin states in ^126Te have been investigated by using in-beam γ ray spectroscopy with the ^124Sn（^7Li,1p4n）^126Te reaction at a beam energy of 48 MeV.The previously known level scheme has been enriched,and a new negative-parity sequence has been established.The yrast positive-parity band shows a shape change between triaxial shape and collective oblate shape as a function of spin.In particular,three competitive minima appear in the potential energy surface for the I^π=8^＋ states,with one aligned state at γ =-120° and two triaxial states atγ -30° and-45°,respectively.The signature splitting behavior of the negative-parity band is discussed.The shape change with increasing angular momentum and the signature splitting can be interpreted well in terms of the Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky-Bogoliubov and Cranked Nilsson-Strutinsky model calculations.

Collectively induced transparency and absorption in waveguide quantum electrodynamics with Bragg atom arrays

Collective quantum states, such as subradiant and superradiant states, are useful for controlling optical responses in many-body quantum systems. In this work, we study novel collective quantum phenomena in waveguide-coupled Bragg atom arrays with inhomogeneous frequencies.For atoms without free-space dissipation, collectively induced transparency is produced by destructive quantum interference between subradiant and superradiant states. In a large Bragg atom array, multi-frequency photon transparency can be obtained by considering atoms with different frequencies. Interestingly, we find collectively induced absorption(CIA) by studying the influence of free-space dissipation on photon transport. Tunable atomic frequencies nontrivially modify decay rates of subradiant states. When the decay rate of a subradiant state equals to the free-space dissipation, photon absorption can reach a limit at a certain frequency. In other words, photon absorption is enhanced with low free-space dissipation, distinct from previous photon detection schemes. We also show multi-frequency CIA by properly adjusting atomic frequencies. Our work presents a way to manipulate collective quantum states and exotic optical properties in waveguide quantum electrodynamics(QED) systems.

Proton-neutron symplectic model description of ^(20)Ne

A microscopic description of the low-lying positive-parity rotational bands in ^(20)Ne is given within the framework of the symplectic-based proton-neutron shell-model approach provided by the proton-neutron symplectic model(PNSM).For this purpose,a model Hamiltonian is adopted.This includes an algebraic interaction lying in the enveloping algebra of the Sp(12,R)dynamical group of the PNSM,which introduces both horizontal and vertical mixings of different SU(3)irreducible representations within the Sp(12,R)irreducible collective space of ^(20)Ne.A good overall description is obtained for the excitation energies of the ground and first two excited β bands,including the ground state intraband B(E2)quadrupole collectivity and the known interband B(E2)transition probabilities between the low-lying collective states,without utilizing an effective charge.

Robust QKD-based private database queries based on alternative sequences of single-qubit measurements

Quantum channel noise may cause the user to obtain a wrong answer and thus misunderstand the database holder for existing QKD-based quantum private query(QPQ) protocols. In addition, an outside attacker may conceal his attack by exploiting the channel noise. We propose a new, robust QPQ protocol based on four-qubit decoherence-free(DF) states. In contrast to existing QPQ protocols against channel noise, only an alternative fixed sequence of single-qubit measurements is needed by the user(Alice) to measure the received DF states. This property makes it easy to implement the proposed protocol by exploiting current technologies. Moreover, to retain the advantage of flexible database queries, we reconstruct Alice's measurement operators so that Alice needs only conditioned sequences of single-qubit measurements.

Low-lying spectra and E2 transition rates in ^(160-170)Er isotopes in the interaction boson model

Spectra and E2 transition rates for the 160-170Er isotopes are studied in the framework of the interaction boson model. A schematic Hamiltonian able to describe their spectra and B(E2) transition is used. It is found that the 160-170Er isotopes are in the transition from the vibrational limit to rotational limit.

The Construction of a Discourse System for Literature Research in Contemporary China

The construction of the literature research discourse in the seven decades since the foundation of the PRC has shown an upward spiral, from 'state/collective discourse' to 'society/individual discourse' and thence to 'world/human discourse.' These related but different discourses have worked together to facilitate literary writing and literature research. During the last 70 years of literature research, the Marxist theory of literature and art has always played a guiding role. Having close links with Chinese literary practice, Marxist theory has had a fundamental impact on the construction of the Chinese literature research discourse system. The emergence of 'state/collective discourse,' 'society/individual discourse' and 'world/human discourse' is an integral, historical, logical and dynamic process. Chinese literature research discourse should be constantly innovated and developed with a vision that looks to the world and the future, in order to contribute Chinese wisdom to dialogues between different academic discourses in the world and thus demonstrate the unique value of Chinese academic research in the humanities.
