Thermal Green Functions in Coordinate Space for Massless Particles of any Spin
The thermal Wightman functions for free, massless particles of spin 0, 1/2,
1, 3/2, and 2 are computed directly in coordinate space by solving the
appropriate differential equation and imposing the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger
condition. The solutions are valid for real, imaginary, or complex time. The
Wightman functions for spin 1 gauge bosons and for spin 2 gravitons are
directly related to the fundamental functions for spin 0. The Wightman
functions for spin 3/2 gravitinos is directly related to that for spin 1/2
fermions. Calculations for spin 1, 3/2, and 2 are done in covariant gauges. In
the deep space-like region the Wightman functions for bosons fall like
whereas those for the fermions fall exponentially. In the deep time-like region
all the Wightman functions fall exponentially.Comment: 8 pages, RevTex twocolum
Complete Separability and Fourier representations of n-qubit states
Necessary conditions for separability are most easily expressed in the
computational basis, while sufficient conditions are most conveniently
expressed in the spin basis. We use the Hadamard matrix to define the
relationship between these two bases and to emphasize its interpretation as a
Fourier transform. We then prove a general sufficient condition for complete
separability in terms of the spin coefficients and give necessary and
sufficient conditions for the complete separability of a class of generalized
Werner densities. As a further application of the theory, we give necessary and
sufficient conditions for full separability for a particular set of -qubit
states whose densities all satisfy the Peres condition
