Universal algebra and clone theory have proven to be a useful tool in the study of constraint satisfaction problems since the complexity, up to logspace reductions, is determined by the set of polymorphisms of the constraint language. For…
We consider a low $T_c$ metallic superconductor weakly coupled to the soft fluctuations associated with proximity to a nematic quantum critical point (NQCP). We show that: 1) a BCS-Eliashberg treatment remains valid outside of a…
The SIMPLE collaboration has recently claimed improved limits on WIMP-nucleus couplings (arXiv:1106.3014). The limited shelf-life of SIMPLE detectors and apparent deficiencies in the acoustic background discrimination method employed…
Quantum phase slips are traditionally considered in diffusive superconducting wires which are assumed homogeneous. We present a definite estimate for the amplitude of phase slips that occur at a weak inhomogeneity in the wire where local…
We study the conductance of a quantum wire in the presence of weak electron-electron scattering. In a sufficiently long wire the scattering leads to full equilibration of the electron distribution function in the frame moving with the…
We investigate the continuous weak measurement of a solid-state qubit by single electron transistors in nonlinear response regime. It is found that the signal-to-noise ratio can violate the universal upper bound imposed quantum mechanically…
We consider the numerical approximation of the mild solution to a semilinear stochastic wave equation driven by additive noise. For the spatial approximation we consider a standard finite element method and for the temporal approximation, a…
This is a study of phase-coherent conduction through a ballistic point contact with disordered leads. The disorder imposes mesoscopic (sample-to-sample) fluctuations and weak-localization corrections on the conductance, and also leads to…
A note on the property of weak contraction, which implies that all bounded solutions of a nonlinear system converge to a (possibly non-unique) equilibrium. We provide some simple results about interconnections of such systems, and a brief…
Weak measurements with mixed probe states were investigated in the presence of noise in the probe system. We show that the completely mixed state can be used as a probe state for weak measurements of imaginary weak values. The completely…
We present numerical evidence that a simple variational improvement of the ordinary perturbation theory of the quantum anharmonic oscillator can give a convergent sequence of approximations even in the extreme strong coupling limit, the…
We use resurgent extrapolation and continuation methods to extract detailed analytic information about the tilted cusp anomalous dimension solely from its weak coupling and strong coupling expansions. This enables accurate and smooth…
This talk reviewed some classic results and recent progress in the resummation of leading and nonleading enhancements in QCD cross sections and of poles in dimensionally-regularized hard-scattering amplitudes.
The use of nonstandard methods to characterize properties of weak, strong and mixed extensions of congruences to ultrafilters has been the main topic of several recent papers. We show that similar methods can be used to characterize the…
We consider charge transport through a nanoscopic object, e.g. single molecules, short nanotubes, or quantum dots, that is weakly coupled to metallic electrodes. We account for several levels of the molecule/quantum dot with level-dependent…
We provide upper and lower bounds on the semileptonic weak decay form factors for $B \to D^(*)$ and $\Lambda_b \to \Lambda_c$ decays by utilizing inclusive heavy quark effective theory sum rules. These bounds are calculated to second order…
This work is devoted to the six-gluon scattering amplitude in strongly coupled N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. At weak coupling, an appropriate high energy limit of the so-called remainder function, i.e. of the deviation from the BDS…
I describe the use of techniques based on composite rotations to develop controlled phase gates in which the effects of weak Ising couplings are suppressed. A tailored composite phase gate is described which both suppresses weak couplings…
It is possible to place constraints on non-Standard-Model gauge-boson self-couplings and other new physics by studying their one-loop contributions to precisely measured observables. We extend previous analyses which constrain such…
The renormalization group is extended to cases where several heavy particles are decoupled at the same time. This involves large logarithms which are scale-invariant and so cannot be eliminated by a change of renormalization scheme. A set…
