Christophe Texier 1, 2, Pierre Delplace 2, Gilles Montambaux 2 Physical Review B 80 (2009) 205413 We have studied the quantum oscillations of the conductance for arrays of connected mesoscopic metallic rings, in the presence of an external magnetic field. Several geometries have been considered: a linear array of rings connected with short or long wires compared to the phase coherence length, […]

F. Zomer 1, Y. Fedala 1, N. Pavloff 2, V. Soskov 1, A. Variola 1 Applied Optics 48 (2009) 6651-6661 Various four-mirror optical resonators are studied in the perspective of realizing passive stacking cavities. A comparative study of the mechanical stability is provided. The polarization properties of the cavity eigenmodes are described and it is shown that the effect of mirror misalignments (or motions) induces

Aleksandra Petkovic 1, Thorsten Emig 1, 2, Thomas Nattermann 1 Physical Review B 79, 22 (2009) 224512 The influence of randomly distributed point impurities and planar defects on order and transport in type-II superconductors and related systems is studied. It is shown that the Bragg glass phase is unstable with respect to planar efects. Even a single weak defect plane oriented parallel

Celine Nadal 1, Satya N. Majumdar 1, Massimo Vergassola 2 Physical Review Letters 104 (2009) 110501 Using a Coulomb gas method, we compute analytically the probability distribution of the Renyi entropies (a standard measure of entanglement) for a random pure state of a large bipartite quantum system. We show that, for any order q>1 of the Renyi entropy, there are two

G. Moller 1, Th. Jolicoeur 2, N. Regnault 3 Physical Review A: Atomic, Molecular and Optical Physics 79 (2009) 033609 We study a rapidly rotating gas of unpolarized spin-1/2 ultracold fermions in the two-dimensional regime when all atoms reside in the lowest Landau level. Due to the presence of the spin degree of freedom both s-wave and p-wave interactions are allowed

Christophe Texier 1, Christian Hagendorf 2 Europhysics Letters (EPL) 86 (2009) 37011 A one-dimensional model of classical diffusion in a random force field with a weak concentration $\rho$ of absorbers is studied. The force field is taken as a Gaussian white noise with $\mean{\phi(x)}=0$ and $\mean{\phi(x)\phi(x’)}=g \delta(x-x’)$. Our analysis relies on the relation between the Fokker-Planck operator and a

Stephane Ouvry 1, Alexios P. Polychronakos 2 Journal of Physics A Mathematical and Theoretical 42 (2009) 275302 We consider the one-dimensional Lieb-Liniger model (bosons interacting via 2-body delta potentials) in the infinite coupling constant limit (the so-called Tonks-Girardeau model). This model might be relevant as a description of atomic Bose gases confined in a one-dimensional geometry. It is known

T. Fonseca 1, Paul Zinn-Justin 1 Journal of Statistical Mechanics (2009) P03025 We address a number of conjectures about the ground state O(1) loop model, computing in particular two infinite series of partial sums of its entries and relating them to the enumeration of plane partitions. Our main tool is the use of integral formulae for a polynomial solution
