The (2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko—Dubrovsky equation is an important prototypic model in nonlinear physics, which can be applied to many fields. Various nonlinear excitations of the (2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko—Dubrovsky equation have been found by many methods. However, it is very difficult to find interaction solutions among different types of nonlinear excitations. In this paper, with the help of the Riccati equation, the (2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko—Dubrovsky equation is solved by the consistent Riccati expansion (CRE). Furthermore, we obtain the soliton-cnoidal wave interaction solution of the (2+1)-dimensional Konopelchenko—Dubrovsky equation.

In this paper, we establish exact solutions for five complex nonlinear Schrödinger equations. The semi-inverse variational principle (SVP) is used to construct exact soliton solutions of five complex nonlinear Schrödinger equations. Many new families of exact soliton solutions of five complex nonlinear Schrödinger equations are successfully obtained.

The bifurcations of traveling wave solutions of the Broer—Kaup system are investigated and all possible exact parametric representations of the smooth and peaked solitary waves are presented.

Using an improved approximate formula to the centrifugal term, we present arbitrary l-state scattering solutions of the hyperbolic potential. The approximate analytical formula of scattering phase shifts and normalized wavefunctions are presented. All data calculated by the above approximate analytical formula are compared with those obtained by using the numerical integration method in the scattering state cases. We find that this improved approximate formula is better than previous one since the calculated results are in good agreement with those exact ones.

As is well known, the macroscopic realism and the noninvasive measurability together lead to Leggett—Garg inequalities violated by quantum mechanics. We consider tests of the Leggett—Garg type with use of the q-entropies. For all q ≥ 1, quantum mechanics predicts violations of an entire family of q-entropic inequalities of the Leggett—Garg type. Violations are exemplified with a quantum spin-s system. In general, entropic Leggett—Garg inequalities give only necessary conditions that some probabilistic model is compatible with the macrorealism in the broader sense. The presented q-entropic inequalities allow to widen a class of situations, in which an incompatibility with the macrorealism can be tested. In the considered example, both the strength and range of violations are somehow improved by varying q. We also examine q-entropic inequalities of the Leggett—Garg type in the case of detection inefficiencies, when the no-click event may occur in each observation. With the use of the q-entropic inequalities, the required amount of efficiency may be reduced.

The fluctuation and relative fluctuation of entanglement entropy of a bipartite system for Dirac fields in noninertial frames are investigated. It is shown that the fluctuation and relative fluctuation of entanglement entropy are observer-dependent, which depend on their observed frames. It is found that both the fluctuation and relative fluctuation of entanglement entropy become more noticeable with the increasing of the subsystem's acceleration. We also find that the entanglement entropy always has fluctuation regardless of the initial state parameter and for any magnitude of the acceleration. We argue that the statistical mean for the measurement of entanglement entropy relates to the accelerated motion of the observer.

We study the mathematical characteristics of the super-universal associated-Legendre polynomials arising from a kind of double ring-shaped potentials and obtain their polar angular wave functions with certain parity. We find that there exists the even or odd parity for the polar angular wave functions when the parameter η is taken to be positive integer, while there exist both even and odd parities when η is taken as positive non-integer real values. The relations among the super-universal associated-Legendre polynomials, the hypergeometric polynomials, and the Jacobi polynomials are also established.

How to solve the information leakage problem has become the research focus of quantum dialogue. In this paper, in order to overcome the information leakage problem in quantum dialogue, a novel approach for sharing the initial quantum state privately between communicators, i.e., quantum encryption sharing, is proposed by utilizing the idea of quantum encryption. The proposed protocol uses EPR pairs as the private quantum key to encrypt and decrypt the traveling photons, which can be repeatedly used after rotation. Due to quantum encryption sharing, the public announcement on the state of the initial quantum state is omitted, thus the information leakage problem is overcome. The information-theoretical efficiency of the proposed protocol is nearly 100%, much higher than previous information leakage resistant quantum dialogue protocols. Moreover, the proposed protocol only needs single-photon measurements and nearly uses single photons as quantum resource so that it is convenient to implement in practice.

Recently a new type of experiment, i.e., Bloch oscillations of ultracold atoms in honeycomb optical potential, realized Landau—Zener transition in the vicinity of Dirac point in 2D optical lattice. We show that the slope of Dirac cone is related to the transition probability of Landau—Zener transition. Therefore, it provides a new tool to directly detect the energy spectrum in the vicinity of Dirac point. Moreover, we numerically demonstrate that our scheme is feasible and effective in a large range of the parameter of anisotropy.

This paper is devoted to investigate non-vacuum solutions of cylindrically symmetric spacetime in the context of metric f(R) gravity. We take dust matter to find energy density of the universe. In particular, we find two exact solutions, which correspond to two f(R) models in each case. The first solution provides constant curvature while the second solution corresponds to non-constant curvature. The functions of the Ricci scalar and energy densities are evaluated in each case.

Based on the work of Ghosh and Pereze, who view the black hole entropy as the logarithm of the number of quantum states on the Quantum Isolated Horizon (QIH)^§ the entropy of Reissner—Nordström black hole is studied. According to the Unruh temperature, the statistical entropy of quantum fields under the background of Reissner—Nordström spacetime is calculated by means of quantum statistics. In the calculations we take the integral from the position of QIH to infinity, so the obtained entropy is the entanglement entropy outside the QIH. In Reissner—Nordström spacetime it is shown that if only the position of QIH is properly chosen the leading term of logarithm of the number of quantum states on the QIH is equal to the leading term of the entanglement entropy outside the black hole horizon, and both are the Bekenstein—Hawking entropy. The results reveal the relation between the entanglement entropy of black hole and the logarithm of the number of quantum states.

In this paper, we construct rotating charged hairy black hole in (2+1) dimensions for infinitesimal black hole charge and rotation parameters. Then we consider this black hole as particle accelerator and calculate the center-of-mass energy of two colliding test particles near the rotating charged hairy black hole in (2+1) dimensions. As we expected, the center-of-mass energy has infinite value.

In the present work, we examine the soliton excitations in the relativistic Toda lattice model using the rotational expansion method, where the coupling between the lattice sites is varied. For specific choices of the coupling strength we proceed to analyze the nonlinear wave excitations arising in the model which are found to be dark, singular and periodic solitary wave profiles. These solitary wave profiles are admitted to show possible modulation in its amplitude.

In this paper, the generalized Darboux transformation is constructed to variable coefficient nonlinear Schrödinger (NLS) equation. The N-th order rogue wave solution of this variable coefficient NLS equation is obtained by determinant expression form. In particular, we present rogue waves from first to third-order through some figures and analyze their dynamics.

The deuteron transverse charge density ρ_C(b) is the two-dimensional Fourier transform of its charge form factor in the impact space. We show that different parameterizations of the charge form factors provide different ρ_C(b), in particular at the central value of impact parameter (b = 0), although all the parameterizations can well reproduce the form factors in the region of small Q². In addition, we also check the explicit contributions from the different coordinate intervals of the deuteron wave function to its root-mean-square radius.

Considering the experimental constraints on the free parameters of the 331 model with a leptonic sector consistent of five triplets, we investigate the lepton flavor violation (LFV) tau decays τ → μM with M = P and V, where P and V denote a pseudoscalar meson (π, η or η') and a vector meson (ρ⁰, ω or φ), respectively. We find that the contributions of the 331 model to the LFV decays τ → μM mainly come from the new neutral gauge boson Z'. The 331 model considered in this paper can not make the values of the branching ratio Br(τ → μM) approach the corresponding experimental upper limits.

The optimal current difference lattice hydrodynamic model is extended to investigate the traffic flow dynamics on a unidirectional single lane gradient highway. The effect of slope on uphill/downhill highway is examined through linear stability analysis and shown that the slope significantly affects the stability region on the phase diagram. Using nonlinear stability analysis, the Burgers, Korteweg-deVries (KdV) and modified Korteweg-deVries (mKdV) equations are derived in stable, metastable and unstable region, respectively. The effect of reaction coefficient is examined and concluded that it plays an important role in suppressing the traffic jams on a gradient highway. The theoretical findings have been verified through numerical simulation which confirm that the slope on a gradient highway significantly influence the traffic dynamics and traffic jam can be suppressed efficiently by considering the optimal current difference effect in the new lattice model.

Potential energy surfaces of uranium nuclei in the range of mass numbers 229 through 244 are investigated in the framework of the macroscopic-microscopic model and the heights of static fission barriers are obtained in terms of a double-humped structure. The macroscopic part of the nuclear energy is calculated according to Lublin—Strasbourg-drop (LSD) model. Shell and pairing corrections as the microscopic part are calculated with a folded-Yukawa single-particle potential. The calculation is carried out in a five-dimensional parameter space of the generalized Lawrence shapes. In order to extract saddle points on the potential energy surface, a new algorithm which can effectively find an optimal fission path leading from the ground state to the scission point is developed. The comparison of our results with available experimental data and others' theoretical results confirms the reliability of our calculations.

A four-level N-type atomic medium is considered to study the effect of spontaneous generated coherence (SGC) and Kerr nonlinearity on light pulse propagation. A light pulse is propagating inside the medium where each atom follows four-level N-type atom-field configuration of rubidium (⁸⁵Rb) atom. The atom-field interaction leads to electromagnetically induced transparency (EIT) process. The atom-field interaction is accompanied by normal dispersion and in the presence of SGC and Kerr nonlinearity the dispersion property of the proposed atomic medium is modified, which leads to enhancement of positive group index of the medium. The enhancement of positive group index then leads to slow group velocity inside the medium. A more slow group velocity is also investigated by incorporated the collective effect of SGC and Kerr nonlinearity. The control of group velocity inside a four-level N-type atomic medium via collective effect of SGC and Kerr nonlinearity is the major part of this work.

We have studied the thermoelectric properties through ferromagnetic leads-QD coupled system (F-QD-F) in the Kondo regime by nonequilibrium Green's functions method. The spin-flip effect induced by ferromagnetic leads and Kondo effect influence the thermoelectric properties significantly. The peak-valley structure emerges at the low temperature due to Kondo resonance, and the peak-valley structure also relies on the polarization angle θ, the spin-dependent linewidth function Γ_γσ and the energy level of QD ∈_d. Novel resonant peak also emerges in the curve of ZT_c versus polarization angle θ. The Kondo effect suppresses the figure of merit ZT_c and the spin-dependent figure of merit ZT_s. In addition, the spin-dependent figure of merit ZT_s is relate with the gap between Γ_γ↑ and Γ_γ↓.

We study the properties of the heat flow generated by electric current in a quantum dot (QD) molecular sandwiched between two ferromagnetic leads. The heat is exchanged between the QD and the phonon reservoir coupled to it. We find that when the leads' magnetic moments are in parallel configuration, the total heat generation is independent on the leads' spin-polarization regardless of the magnitude of the intradot Coulomb interaction. This behavior is similar to that of the electronic current. In the antiparallel configuration, however, the influences of the leads' ferromagnetism on the heat generation are quite different from those on the electric current. Under the conditions of weak intradot Coulomb interaction and small bias voltage, the heat generation is monotonously suppressed by increasing leads' spin-polarization. Whereas for sufficient large intradot Coulomb interaction and bias voltage, the heat generation shows non-monotonous behavior due to the electron-phonon interaction and the spin accumulation induced on the dot. Furthermore, the magnitude of the negative differential of the heat generation previously found in a QD connected to nonmagnetic leads can be weakened by the increase of the spin-polarization of the ferromagnetic leads.

The interaction between a ◊-type four-level atom and a single-mode field in the presence of Kerr medium with intensity-dependent coupling involving multi-photon processes has been studied. Using the generalized (nonlinear) Jaynes—Cummings model, the exact analytical solution of the wave function for the considered system under particular condition, has been obtained when the atom is initially excited to the topmost level and the field is in a coherent state. Some physical properties of the atom-field entangled state such as linear entropy showing the entanglement degree, Mandel parameter, mean photon number and normal squeezing of the resultant state have been calculated. The effects of Kerr medium, detuning and the intensity-dependent coupling on the temporal behavior of the latter mentioned nonclassical properties have been investigated. It is shown that by appropriately choosing the evolved parameters in the interaction process, each of the above nonclassicality features, which are of special interest in quantum optics as well as quantum information processing, can be revealed.
