Abstract

We consider a pair of antiparallel spins polarized in a random direction to encode quantum information. We wish to extract as much information as possible on the polarization direction attainable by an unentangled measurement, i.e., by a measurement whose outcomes are associated with product states. We develop analytically the upper bound 0.7935 bits to the Shannon mutual information obtainable by an unentangled measurement, which is definitely less than the value 0.8664 bits attained by an entangled measurement. This proves our main result, that not every ensemble of product states can be optimally distinguished by an unentangled measurement, if the measure of distinguishability is defined in the sense of Shannon. We also present results from numerical calculations and discuss briefly the case of parallel spins.

Measurement of the differences in the total cross section for antiparallel and parallel longitudinal spins and a measurement of parity nonconservation with incident polarized protons and antiprotons at 200 GeV/c

E581 /704 Collaboration - Physical Review, D

The highest-energy measurement of {Delta}{sigma}{sub L}(pp) and the first ever measurement of {Delta}{sigma}{sub L}({bar p}p), the differences between proton-proton and antiproton-proton total cross sections for pure longitudinal spin states, are described. Data were taken using 200-GeV/c polarized beams incident on a polarized-proton target. The results are measured to be {Delta}{sigma}{sub L}(pp)={minus}42{plus_minus}48(stat){plus_minus}53(syst) {mu}b and {Delta}{sigma}{sub L}({bar p}p)={minus}256{plus_minus}124(stat){plus_minus}109(syst) {mu}b. Many tests of systematic effects were investigated and are described, and a comparison to theoretical predictions is also given. Measurements of parity nonconservation at 200 GeV/c in proton scattering and the first ever of antiproton scattering have also been derived from these data.more »« less
Momentum flow in black-hole binaries. II. Numerical simulations of equal-mass, head-on mergers with antiparallel spins

Lovelace, Geoffrey ; Chen Yanbei ; Cohen, Michael ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Research on extracting science from binary-black-hole (BBH) simulations has often adopted a 'scattering matrix' perspective: given the binary's initial parameters, what are the final hole's parameters and the emitted gravitational waveform? In contrast, we are using BBH simulations to explore the nonlinear dynamics of curved spacetime. Focusing on the head-on plunge, merger, and ringdown of a BBH with transverse, antiparallel spins, we explore numerically the momentum flow between the holes and the surrounding spacetime. We use the Landau-Lifshitz field-theory-in-flat-spacetime formulation of general relativity to define and compute the density of field energy and field momentum outside horizons and the energymore »« less

Sequence-specific sup 1 H-NMR assignments and identification of two small antiparallel. beta. -sheets in the solution structure of recombinant human transforming growth factor. alpha

Montelione, G.T. ; Wagner, G. ; Winkler, M.E. ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America; (USA)

Transforming growth factor {alpha} (TGF{alpha}) is a small mitogenic protein with about 35% sequence identity with epidermal growth factor (EGF). TGF{alpha}-like proteins have been proposed to play a role in oncogenesis and wound healing. This report describes sequence-specific {sup 1}H-NMR resonance assignments for recombinant human TGF{alpha} (hTGF{alpha}). These assignments provide the basis for interpreting NMR data which demonstrate that the solution structure of hTGF{alpha} includes an antiparallel {beta}-sheet involving residues Gly-19 to Leu-24 and Lys-29 to Cys-34 and a second, smaller, antiparallel {beta}-sheet involving residues Tyr-38 and Val-39 and His-45 and Ala-46. These data, together with constraints imposed by themore »« less

Structure of Rhodococcus equi virulence-associated protein B (VapB) reveals an eight-stranded antiparallel β-barrel consisting of two Greek-key motifs

Geerds, Christina ; Wohlmann, Jens ; Haas, Albert ; ... - Acta crystallographica. Section F, Structural biology communications

The structure of VapB, a member of the Vap protein family that is involved in virulence of the bacterial pathogen R. equi, was determined by SAD phasing and reveals an eight-stranded antiparallel β-barrel similar to avidin, suggestive of a binding function. Made up of two Greek-key motifs, the topology of VapB is unusual or even unique. Members of the virulence-associated protein (Vap) family from the pathogen Rhodococcus equi regulate virulence in an unknown manner. They do not share recognizable sequence homology with any protein of known structure. VapB and VapA are normally associated with isolates from pigs and horses, respectively.more »« less
