Electron’s Position Expectation Values and Energy Spectrum of Lithium Ion (Li^(2+)) on Principal Quantum Number n≤3

The purpose of this study is to determine the electron’s position expectation values and energy spectrum on the Li2+ ion on the principal quantum number n≤3. This research using literature study methods on quantum mechanics. The expectation values of the electron position and the energy spectrum of the Li2+ ion uses numerical calculations using the Matlab 2019a program. The steps in this research method include: preparation; theory development; simulation; validation of the results of theory development; results of theory development; discussion and conclusion. The results obtained in this study are the electron’s position expectation values and energy of the Lithium ion. The electron’s position expectation values indicates the presence of electrons that often appear around the x-axis by relying on the interval used. The larger the interval, the more constant the electron’s position expectation values will be and towards an almost constant value. From the analysis results, the expectation value varies in positions from 0,0001a0 to 0,1637a0. The electron energy spectrum of the Li2+ ion is inversely proportional to the square of the principal quantum number (n),E1= -122,4 eV ; E2= -30,6 eV ; E3= -13,6 eV

Higher order RG flow on the Wilson line in $$ \mathcal{N} $$ = 4 SYM

Extending earlier work, we find the two-loop term in the beta-function for the scalar coupling ζ in a generalized Wilson loop operator of the $$ \mathcal{N} $$ N = 4 SYM theory, working in the planar weak-coupling expansion. The beta-function for ζ has fixed points at ζ = ±1 and ζ = 0, corresponding respectively to the supersymmetric Wilson-Maldacena loop and to the standard Wilson loop without scalar coupling. As a consequence of our result for the beta-function, we obtain a prediction for the two-loop term in the anomalous dimension of the scalar field inserted on the standard Wilson loop. We also find a subset of higher-loop contributions (with highest powers of ζ at each order in ‘t Hooft coupling λ) coming from the scalar ladder graphs determining the corresponding terms in the five-loop beta-function. We discuss the related structure of the circular Wilson loop expectation value commenting, in particular, on consistency with a 1d defect version of the F-theorem. We also compute (to two loops in the planar ladder model approximation) the two-point correlators of scalars inserted on the Wilson line.

Analyticity of the energy in an Ising spin glass with correlated disorder

The average energy of the Ising spin glass is known to have no singularity along a special line in the phase diagram although there exists a critical point on the line. This result on the model with uncorrelated disorder is generalized to the case with correlated disorder. For a class of correlations in disorder that suppress frustration, we show that the average energy in a subspace of the phase diagram is expressed as the expectation value of a local gauge variable of the Z2 gauge Higgs model, from which we prove that the average energy has no singularity although the subspace is likely to have a phase transition on it. Though it is difficult to obtain an explicit expression of the energy in contrast to the case of uncorrelated disorder, an exact closed-form expression of a physical quantity related to the energy is derived in three dimensions using a duality relation. Identities and inequalities are proved for the specific heat and correlation functions.

Theory and experiment for resource-efficient joint weak-measurement

Incompatible observables underlie pillars of quantum physics such as contextuality and entanglement. The Heisenberg uncertainty principle is a fundamental limitation on the measurement of the product of incompatible observables, a 'joint' measurement. However, recently a method using weak measurement has experimentally demonstrated joint measurement. This method [Lundeen, J. S., and Bamber, C. Phys. Rev. Lett. 108, 070402, 2012] delivers the standard expectation value of the product of observables, even if they are incompatible. A drawback of this method is that it requires coupling each observable to a distinct degree of freedom (DOF), i.e., a disjoint Hilbert space. Typically, this 'read-out' system is an unused internal DOF of the measured particle. Unfortunately, one quickly runs out of internal DOFs, which limits the number of observables and types of measurements one can make. To address this limitation, we propose and experimentally demonstrate a technique to perform a joint weak-measurement of two incompatible observables using only one DOF as a read-out system. We apply our scheme to directly measure the density matrix of photon polarization states.

Expectation values of minimum-length Ricci scalar

In this paper, we consider a specific model, implementing the existence of a fundamental limit distance [Formula: see text] between (space or time separated) points in spacetime, which in the recent past has exhibited the intriguing feature of having a minimum-length Ricci scalar [Formula: see text] that does not approach the ordinary Ricci scalar [Formula: see text] in the limit of vanishing [Formula: see text]. [Formula: see text] at a point has been found to depend on the direction along which the existence of minimum distance is implemented. Here, we point out that the convergence [Formula: see text] in the [Formula: see text] limit is anyway recovered in a relaxed or generalized sense, which is when we average over directions, this suggesting we might be taking the expectation value of [Formula: see text] promoted to be a quantum variable. It remains as intriguing as before the fact that we cannot identify (meaning this is much more than simply equating in the generalized sense above) [Formula: see text] with [Formula: see text] in the [Formula: see text] limit, namely, when we get ordinary spacetime. Thing is like if, even when [Formula: see text] (read here the Planck length) is far too small to have any direct detection of it feasible, the intrinsic quantum nature of spacetime might anyway be experimentally at reach, witnessed by the mentioned special feature of Ricci, not fading away with [Formula: see text] (i.e. persisting when taking the [Formula: see text] limit).

Stochastic gravity and turbulence

We study the ensemble average of the thermal expectation value of an energy momentum tensor in the presence of a random external metric. In a holographic setup this quantity can be read off of the near boundary behavior of the metric in a stochastic theory of gravity. By numerically solving the associated Einstein equations and mapping the result to the dual boundary theory, we find that the non relativistic energy power spectrum exhibits a power law behavior as expected by the theory of Kolmogorov and Kraichnan.

Probability Analysis to Improve the Confidence in Profiling Accuracy

Performance profiling for the system is necessary and has already been widely supported by hardware performance counters (HPC). HPC is based on the registers to count the number of events in a time interval and uses system interruption to read the number from registers to a recording file. The profiled result approximates the actual running states and is not accurate since the profiling technique uses sampling to capture the states. We do not know the actual running states before, which makes the validation on profiling results complex. Jianwei YinSome experiments-based analysis compared the running results of benchmarks running on different systems to improve the confidence of the profiling technique. But they have not explained why the sampling technique can represent the actual running states. We use the probability theory to prove that the expectation value of events profiled is an unbiased estimation of the actual states, and its variance is small enough. For knowing the actual running states, we design a simulation to generate the running states and get the profiled results. We refer to the applications running on production data centers to choose the parameters for our simulation settings. Comparing the actual running states and the profiled results shows they are similar, which proves our probability analysis is correct and improves our confidence in profiling accuracy.

Reply to the comment by Amano on “Linear and bent triatomic molecules are not qualitatively different!”

In Amano’s comment on Jensen’s paper, we notice two important misconceptions: (i) Amano overlooks the fact that all features special for a linear molecule originate in the double degeneracy in the bending motion (i.e., in the fact that for a linear triatomic molecule, the description of the bending motion must necessarily also involve the rotation about the axis of least moment of inertia, the a axis, which becomes the molecular axis at equilibrium), and (ii) the expectation value generated from the wavefunction gives an “average” value of the relevant observable (coordinate); the expectation value can, in principle, be obtained experimentally as the average of very many repeated measurements of the observable. In our previous papers on this subject, in particular the paper by Jensen discussed here, we have attempted to explain our results as coherently and “pedagogically” as we can, starting with the fundamental principles of quantum mechanics, and we encourage interested readers to refer to our previous works on the subject. Thus, we maintain our assertion that the vibrationally averaged structure of a linear molecule is observed as being bent, as we have demonstrated previously from both theoretical and experimental viewpoints.

Comment on “Linear and bent triatomic molecules are not qualitatively different!”

Jensen (Can. J. Phys. 98, 506 (2020). doi: 10.1139/cjp-2019-0395 ) presents theoretical justification for the claim that linear triatomic molecules are necessarily observed to be bent. The basis of the assertion is that the expectation value of the supplement of the bending angle, [Formula: see text] used in Jensen’s paper, is calculated to be positive. In this comment, we examine the interpretation of the expectation values of [Formula: see text] in stationary states, and indicate that Jensen’s claim contradicts a basic principle of quantum mechanics that the energy and geometrical variables cannot have definite values at the same time.
