Determination of f0−σf_0-\sigma mixing angle through Bs0→J/Ψ f0(980)(σ)B_s^0 \to J/\Psi~f_0(980)(\sigma) decays

We study $B_s^0 \to J/\psi f_0(980)$ decays, the quark content of $f_0(980)$ and the mixing angle of $f_0(980)$ and $\sigma(600)$. We calculate not only the factorizable contribution in QCD facorization scheme but also the nonfactorizable hard spectator corrections in QCDF and pQCD approach. We get consistent result with the experimental data of $B_s^0 \to J/\psi f_0(980)$ and predict the branching ratio of $B_s^0 \to J/\psi \sigma$. We suggest two ways to determine $f_0-\sigma$ mixing angle $\theta$. Using the experimental measured branching ratio of $B_s^0 \to J/\psi f_0(980)$, we can get the $f_0-\sigma$ mixing angle $\theta$ with some theoretical uncertainties. We suggest another way to determine $f_0-\sigma$ mixing angle $\theta$ using both of experimental measured decay branching ratios $B_s^0 \to J/\psi f_0(980) (\sigma)$ to avoid theoretical uncertainties.Comment: arXiv admin note: substantial text overlap with arXiv:0707.263

Experimental Observation of a Topological Phase in the Maximally Entangled State of a Pair of Qubits

Quantum mechanical phase factors can be related to dynamical effects or to the geometrical properties of a trajectory in a given space - either parameter space or Hilbert space. Here, we experimentally investigate a quantum mechanical phase factor that reflects the topology of the SO(3) group: since rotations by $\pi$ around antiparallel axes are identical, this space is doubly connected. Using pairs of nuclear spins in a maximally entangled state, we subject one of the spins to a cyclic evolution. If the corresponding trajectory in SO(3) can be smoothly deformed to a point, the quantum state at the end of the trajectory is identical to the initial state. For all other trajectories the quantum state changes sign
