We investigate the quantum discord in the thermal states for a spin-star model consisting of three parties which include one central spin and the other two outer spins. Our results imply that the quantum correlation can be established between the two outer spins both of which interacting with the central spin independently. From the analysis, we find that the quantum discord and entanglement depends not only on the external magnetic field and the interaction strength but also on the anisotropy parameter and the temperature. Specially, the quantum discord is more robust than the quantum entanglement in the sense that the quantum discord lasts for higher temperatures than the entanglement does.

The Magnetic Field

Radial oscillations are excited in a homogeneous infinite plasma cylinder in a homogeneous axial magnetic field by a surface current which is homogeneous in the axial and azimuthal directions. The modes of oscillations corresponding to the axial and azimuthal components of current are not coupled, and so they may be analysed separately. The magnetic field in the plasma and vacuum is obtained, and the indices of refraction for both types of oscillations are discussed thoroughly. When the currents are parallel to the external magnetic field, the oscillations are characterized by the refractive index of Eccles. On the other hand, when the current is perpendicular to the magnetic field two resonance frequencies exist, which depend on the density of the plasma and the magnetic field strength. — In the latter case the radial characteristic oscillations of the plasma cylinder in an external magnetic field are considered.

Nonlocal Correlation

In this paper, we investigate nonlocal correlation (beyond entanglement) captured by measurement induced nonlocality and geometric quantum discord for a pair of interacting spin-1/2 particles at thermal equilibrium. It is shown that both the measures are identical in measuring the correlation. We show that nonlocal correlation between the spins exist even without entanglement and the correlation vanishes only for maximal mixture of product bases. We also observe that while interaction between the spins is responsible for enhancement of correlation, this non-classicality decreases with the intervention of external magnetic field.

Entanglement Distillation

We study the quantum correlations between source and target pairs in different protocols of entanglement distillation of one kind of entangled states. We find that there does not exist any quantum correlation in the standard recurrence distillation protocol, while quantum discord and even quantum entanglement are always present in the other two cases of the improved distillation protocols. In the three cases, the distillation efficiency improved with the quantum correlations enhanced.

Mendelssohn and Babbitt observed that the induction in solid and hollow tin spheres which became supraconductive in an external magnetic field did not fall quite to zero, but that part of the magnetic flux was “frozen in” at the threshold value. This behaviour could be explained by considerations based on the shape of the specimen, although it was not certain if this was the only reason for the effect. It seemed therefore that it would be of interest to investigate specimens of a shape which assured simpler conditions, such as long rods in a longitudinal field, in addition to extending the experiments to a greater number of supraconducting substances. Method The same two helium liquefiers with which the previous experiments were carried out were used again. The specimens employed were in the form of long rods attached by a short thick wire of electrolytic copper to the helium container. The wire was autogenously welded to one end of the specimen, the other end of the copper wire being soldered to the helium container. In the case of mercury the metal was contained in a test tube held independently, into which a copper wire dipped and made thermal contact. A coil one layer thick of 47 s. w. g. copper wire was wound round the middle of each specimen, the ends being connected to a ballastic galvanometer.

Spin orbit torque (SOT) provides an efficient way to significantly reduce the current required for switching nanomagnets. However, SOT generated by an in-plane current cannot deterministically switch a perpendicularly polarized magnet due to symmetry reasons. On the other hand, perpendicularly polarized magnets are preferred over in-plane magnets for high-density data storage applications due to their significantly larger thermal stability in ultrascaled dimensions. Here, we show that it is possible to switch a perpendicularly polarized magnet by SOT without needing an external magnetic field. This is accomplished by engineering an anisotropy in the magnets such that the magnetic easy axis slightly tilts away from the direction, normal to the film plane. Such a tilted anisotropy breaks the symmetry of the problem and makes it possible to switch the magnet deterministically. Using a simple Ta/CoFeB/MgO/Ta heterostructure, we demonstrate reversible switching of the magnetization by reversing the polarity of the applied current. This demonstration presents a previously unidentified approach for controlling nanomagnets with SOT.

Spin adduct yields in the photoreduction of menadione (2-methylnaphthoquinone) in isotope labeled micellar solutions were measured as functions of the external magnetic field. As surfactants, ordinary SDS, perdeuteriated SDS, and a mixture of the two were employed. In a mixed micellar solution, a normal isotope effect on the spin adduct yield was observed. On the other hand, in the pure micellar solutions with each of the former two surfactants, a reversed isotope effect was observed. These two apparent isotope effects depend on the external magnetic field and were separated into two independent isotope effects: one is the primary isotope effect on the hydrogen abstraction step and the other is the secondary magnetic isotope effect on the intersystem crossing step of the intermediate radical pair.
