Published: October 2003

Perturbation theory for ocean acoustic modal group speed responses to small environmental changes is investigated with regard to its applicability to ocean acoustic tomography. Assuming adiabaticity, the inverse problem for each vertical eigenmode is an integral equation whose kernel involves the eigenfunction and its frequency derivative. A proof is given for the equivalence of two dissimilar forms of the integral equation. Numerical examples are given for the inversion kernel for four types of sound-speed profiles, and then the parameter range (amplitude and scale size) in which perturbation theory is accurate is examined. It is found that the range of validity is determined not only by the amplitude of the perturbations, but also by their vertical scale size.

We introduce an approach for analyzing the responses of dynamical systems to external perturbations that combines score-based generative modeling with the generalized fluctuation-dissipation theorem. The methodology enables accurate estimation of system responses, including those with non-Gaussian statistics. We numerically validate our approach using time-series data from three different stochastic partial differential equations of increasing complexity: an Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process with spatially correlated noise, a modified stochastic Allen-Cahn equation, and the 2D Navier-Stokes equations.

Relativistic Quantum Fields Are Universal Entanglement Embezzlers.

Phys Rev Lett

Embezzlement of entanglement refers to the counterintuitive possibility of extracting entangled quantum states from a reference state of an auxiliary system (the "embezzler") via local quantum operations while hardly perturbing the latter. We uncover a deep connection between the operational task of embezzling entanglement and the mathematical classification of von Neumann algebras. Our result implies that relativistic quantum fields are universal embezzlers: any entangled state of any dimension can be embezzled from them with arbitrary precision.

The phonon inverse Faraday effect describes the emergence of a dc magnetization due to circularly polarized phonons. In this work we present a microscopic formalism for the phonon inverse Faraday effect. The formalism is based on time-dependent second order perturbation theory and electron phonon coupling.

Optical Properties of Phenylthiolate-Capped CdS Nanoparticles.

Using many-body perturbation theory, we study the optical properties of phenylthiolate-capped cadmium sulfide nanoparticles to understand the origin of the experimentally observed blue shift in those properties with decreasing particle size. We show that the absorption spectra predicted by many-body perturbation theory agree well with the experimentally measured spectra. The results of our calculations demonstrate that all low-energy excited states correspond to a mixture of two fundamental types of excitations: intraligand and ligand-to-metal charge-transfer excitations.

Mechanism of the Non-Kasha Fluorescence in Pyrene.

J Comput Chem

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, 1102 Natural Sciences II, University of California Irvine, Irvine, California, USA.

The high-energy shoulder in the gas-phase fluorescence emission spectrum of pyrene is a well-known example of non-Kasha emission. We comparatively assess two approaches, vibronic perturbation theory and nonadiabatic dynamics, in their ability to predict and explain the gas-phase fluorescence spectrum of pyrene. While both methods qualitatively capture the non-Kasha emission, they differ in their computational requirements, accuracy, and physical interpretation.
