Manipulation And Control

Quantum computation strongly relies on the realization, manipulation, and control of qubits. A central method for realizing qubits is by creating a double-well potential system with a significant gap between the first two eigenvalues and the rest. In this work, we first revisit the theoretical grounds underlying the double-well qubit dynamics, then proceed to suggest novel extensions of these principles to a triple-well qutrit with periodic boundary conditions, followed by a general [Formula: see text]-well analysis of qudits. These analyses are based on representations of the special unitary groups SU[Formula: see text] which expose the systems’ symmetry and employ them for performing computations. We conclude with a few notes on coherence and scalability of [Formula: see text]-well systems.

Lecture Notes

This is a lecture notes for undergraduate students. We try to tackle the single valuedness of spatial and double valuedness of spin functions. Also, we adress the need of spinors to accommodate spin functions with some parallelism to the need of axial vectors (or antisymmetric traceless tensors) to accommodate angular momentum. Finally, we revisit the Dirac and Weyl tricks on the non-equivalence of a 2 pi and a 4 pi rotation related the topology of rotation and unitary groups.

AbstractIn this work, we establish optimal Lyapunov-type inequalities for the second-order difference equation with p-Laplacian $$\begin{aligned} \Delta (\left| \Delta u(k-1)\right| ^{p-2}\Delta u(k-1))+a(k)\left| u(k)\right| ^{p-2}u(k)=0 \end{aligned}$$ Δ ( Δ u ( k - 1 ) p - 2 Δ u ( k - 1 ) ) + a ( k ) u ( k ) p - 2 u ( k ) = 0 with Dirichlet, Neumann, mixed, periodic and anti-periodic boundary conditions.
