In a recent work (Borras et al., Phys. Rev. A79 (2009) 022108), we have determined, for various decoherence channels, four-qubit initial states exhibiting the most robust possible entanglement. Here, we explore some geometrical features of the trajectories in state space generated by the decoherence process, connecting the initially robust pure state with the completely decohered mixed state obtained at the end of the evolution. We characterize these trajectories by recourse to the distance between the concomitant time-dependent mixed state and different reference states.

We consider an individual which ultimately dies or divides, and whose state is subject to drift and jumps caused by external perturbations. The mortality and division rates being state-dependent, the present paper deals with the time-dependent distribution of the individual's position in the state-space and with its lifetime distribution. The results are applied to a model of a biological cell which is exposed to ionizing radiation. Under certain conditions on the parameters of the type of perturbation one can show that the division probability decreases and the mean regeneration time increases with increasing frequency and ‘effect' of the perturbations.

AbstractWe investigate the existence of classical solutions to second-order quadratic Mean-Field Games systems with local and strongly decreasing couplings of the form $$-\sigma m^\alpha $$ - σ m α ,$$\alpha \ge 2/N$$ α ≥ 2 / N , where m is the population density and N is the dimension of the state space. We prove the existence of solutions under the assumption that $$\sigma $$ σ is small enough. For large $$\sigma $$ σ , we show that existence may fail whenever the time horizon T is large.

Adding the maximally mixed state with some weight to the entanglement system leads to disentanglement of the latter. For each predefined entangled state there exists a minimal value of this weight for which the system loses its entanglement properties. These values were proposed to be used as a quantitative measure of entanglement called robustness [G. Vidal and R. Tarrach, Phys. Rev. A 59, 141 (1999)]. Using the concurrence, we propose the derivation of this measure for the system of two-qubit. Namely, for a two-qubit pure state, an exact expression of robustness is obtained. Finally, in the same way, the robustness of special cases of mixed two-qubit states is calculated.

Using the non-standard geometric structure proposed by Loos, we present a coordinate-free formulation of the theory for time-dependent finite-dimensional mechanical systems with n degrees of freedom. The state space containing the system’s information on time, position and velocity is defined as a (2 n+1)-dimensional affine bundle over an ( n+1)-dimensional generalized space-time. The main goal is to present a geometric postulate that characterizes a second-order vector field whose integral curves describe the motions of a time-dependent finite-dimensional mechanical system. The core objects of the postulate are differential two-forms on the state space, called action forms, which are in a bijective relation with second-order vector fields. The requirements for a differential two-form to be an action form allow for a coordinate-free definition of non-potential forces, which may depend on time, position and velocity. Finally, we show that not only Lagrange’s equations but also Hamilton’s equations follow directly as mere coordinate representations of the same coordinate-free postulate.

It is often suggested that, since the state of affairs in which God creates a good universe is better than the state of affairs in which He creates nothing, a perfectly good God would have to create that good universe. Making use of recent work by Christine Korgaard on the relational nature of the good, I argue that the state of affairs in which God creates is actually not better, due to the fact that it is not better for anyone or anything in particular. Hence, even a perfectly good God would not be compelled to create a good universe.

Abstract Bayesian analysis has emerged as a rapidly expanding frontier in qualitative methods. Recent work in this journal has voiced various doubts regarding how to implement Bayesian process tracing and the costs versus benefits of this approach. In this response, we articulate a very different understanding of the state of the method and a much more positive view of what Bayesian reasoning can do to strengthen qualitative social science. Drawing on forthcoming research as well as our earlier work, we focus on clarifying issues involving mutual exclusivity of hypotheses, evidentiary import, adjudicating among more than two hypotheses, and the logic of iterative research, with the goal of elucidating how Bayesian analysis operates and pushing the field forward.

Abstract The modeling of counter-current leaching plant (CCLP) in Koryo Extract Production is presented in this paper. Koryo medicine is a natural physic to be used for a diet and the medical care. The counter-current leaching method is mainly used for producing Koryo medicine. The purpose of the modeling in the previous works is to indicate the concentration distributions, and not to describe the model for the process control. In literature, there are no nearly the papers for modeling CCLP and especially not the presence of papers that have described the issue for extracting the effective components from the Koryo medicinal materials. First, this paper presents that CCLP can be shown like the equivalent process consisting of two tanks, where there is a shaking apparatus, respectively. It allows leachate to flow between two tanks. Then, this paper presents the principle model for CCLP and the state space model on based it. The accuracy of the model has been verified from experiments made at CCLP in the Koryo Extract Production at the Gang Gyi Koryo Manufacture Factory.
