Multilayer graphene under vertical electric field

We study the effect of vertical electric field (E-field) on the electronic properties of multilayer graphene. We show that the effective mass, electron velocity and density-of-state of a bilayer graphene are modified under the E-field. We also study the transformation of the band structure of multilayer graphenes. E-field induces finite (zero) bandgap in the even (odd)-layer ABA-stacking graphene. On the other hand, finite bandgap is induced in all ABC-stacking graphene. We also identify the optimum E-field to obtain the maximum bandgap in the multilayer graphenes. Finally we compare our results with the experimental results of a field-effect-transistor.Comment: 10 pag

Continuous-variable multipartite unlockable bound entangled Gaussian states

Continuous-variable (CV) multipartite unlockable bound-entangled states is investigated in this paper. Comparing with the qubit multipartite unlockable bound-entangled states, CV multipartite unlockable bound-entangled states present the new and different properties. CV multipartite unlockable bound-entangled states may serve as a useful quantum resource for new multiparty communication schemes. The experimental protocol for generating CV unlockable bound-entangled states is proposed with a setup that is at present accessible.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure

Chiral tunneling in trilayer graphene

We study the effect of chiral-tunneling in Bernal and Rombhohedral stacked trilayer-graphene (3LG). Based on the chirality of the electronic bands, at the K-point, (Rombhohedral) Bernal-3LG exhibits 100% (50%) transparency across a heterojunction. Utilizing this property, we further investigate the effect of electron collimation in 3LG. Due to the difference in the Berry's phase, we show that, Rombhohedral-3LG is a better electron collimator, compared to monolayer and Bernal-bilayer graphene. Since, Bernal-3LG can be decomposed into two separate channels consisting of a monolayer and a modified Bernal-bilayer graphene; the Bernal-3LG is weaker electron collimator, compared to Rombhohedral-3LG.Comment: APL, 2012; http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.370375

Eigenstates of Paraparticle Creation Operators

Eigenstates of the parabose and parafermi creation operators are constructed. In the Dirac contour representation, the parabose eigenstates correspond to the dual vectors of the parabose coherent states. In order $p=2$, conserved-charge parabose creation operator eigenstates are also constructed. The contour forms of the associated resolutions of unity are obtained.Comment: 14 pages, LaTex file, no macros, no figure

Graphical description of local Gaussian operations for continuous-variable weighted graph states

The form of a local Clifford (LC, also called local Gaussian (LG)) operation for the continuous-variable (CV) weighted graph states is presented in this paper, which is the counterpart of the LC operation of local complementation for qubit graph states. The novel property of the CV weighted graph states is shown, which can be expressed by the stabilizer formalism. It is distinctively different from the qubit weighted graph states, which can not be expressed by the stabilizer formalism. The corresponding graph rule, stated in purely graph theoretical terms, is described, which completely characterizes the evolution of CV weighted graph states under this LC operation. This LC operation may be applied repeatedly on a CV weighted graph state, which can generate the infinite LC equivalent graph states of this graph state. This work is an important step to characterize the LC equivalence class of CV weighted graph states.Comment: 5 pages, 6 figure

Quantum entropy of the Kerr black hole arising from gravitational perturbation

The quantum entropy of the Kerr black hole arising from gravitational perturbation is investigated by using Null tetrad and \'t Hooft\'s brick-wall model. It is shown that effect of the graviton\'s spins on the subleading correction is dependent of the square of the spins and the angular momentum per unit mass of the black hole, and contribution of the logarithmic term to the entropy will be positive, zero, and negative for different value of $a/r_+$.Comment: 8 pages, 1 figure, Latex. to appear in Phys.

Quantum optomechanics of a Bose-Einstein Antiferromagnet

We investigate the cavity optomechanical properties of an antiferromagnetic Bose-Einstein con- densate, where the role of the mechanical element is played by spin-wave excitations. We show how this system can be described by a single rotor that can be prepared deep in the quantum regime under realizable experimental conditions. This system provides a bottom-up realization of dispersive rotational optomechanics, and opens the door to the direct observation of quantum spin fluctuations.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figure, accepted for publication in Physical Review Letters (2011
