Applications of the coupled cluster method to pairing problemsSnape, Christopher January 2010 (has links)
The phenomenon of pairing in atomic and nuclear many-body systems gives rise to a great number of different physical properties of matter, from areas as seemingly diverse as the shape of stable nuclei to superconductivity in metals and superfluidity in neutron stars. With the experimental realisation of the long sought BCS-BEC crossover observed in trapped atomic gases - where it is possible to fine tune the s-wave scattering length a of a many-fermion system between a dilute, correlated BCS-like superfluid of Cooper pairs and a densely packed BEC of composite bosons - pairing problems in atomic physics have found renewed interest in recent years. Given the high precision techniques involved in producing these trapped gas condensates, we would like to employ a suitably accurate many-body method to study such systems, preferably one which goes beyond the simple mean-field picture.The Coupled Cluster Method (CCM) is a widely applied and highly successful ab initio method in the realm of quantum many-body physics and quantum chemistry, known to be capable of producing extremely accurate results for a wide variety of different many-body systems. It has not found many applications in pairing problems however, at least not in a general sense. Our aim, therefore, is to study various models of pairing using a variety of CCM techniques - we are interested in studying the generic features of pairing problems and in particular, we are especially interested in probing the collective modes of a system which exhibits the BCS-BEC crossover, in either the BCS or BEC limit. The CCM seems a rather good candidate for the job, given the high precision results it can produce.

Implementace rekonstrukčních metod pro čtení čárového kódu / Implementation of restoring method for reading bar codeKadlčík, Libor January 2013 (has links)
Bar code stores information in the form of series of bars and gaps with various widths, and therefore can be considered as an example of bilevel (square) signal. Magnetic bar codes are created by applying slightly ferromagnetic material to a substrate. Sensing is done by reading oscillator, whose frequency is modulated by presence of the mentioned ferromagnetic material. Signal from the oscillator is then subjected to frequency demodulation. Due to temperature drift of the reading oscillator, the demodulated signal is accompanied by DC drift. Method for removal of the drift is introduced. Also, drift-insensitive detection of presence of a bar code is described. Reading bar codes is complicated by convolutional distortion, which is result of spatially dispersed sensitivity of the sensor. Effect of the convolutional distortion is analogous to low-pass filtering, causing edges to be smoothed and overlapped, and making their detection difficult. Characteristics of convolutional distortion can be summarized into point-spread function (PSF). In case of magnetic bar codes, the shape of the PSF can be known in advance, but not its width of DC transfer. Methods for estimation of these parameters are discussed. The signal needs to be reconstructed (into original bilevel form) before decoding can take place. Variational methods provide effective way. Their core idea is to reformulate reconstruction as an optimization problem of functional minimization. The functional can be extended by other functionals (regularizations) in order to considerably improve results of reconstruction. Principle of variational methods will be shown, including examples of use of various regularizations. All algorithm and methods (including frequency demodulation of signal from reading oscillator) are digital. They are implemented as a program for a microcontroller from the PIC32 family, which offers high computing power, so that even blind deconvolution (when the real PSF also needs to be found) can be finished in a few seconds. The microcontroller is part of magnetic bar code reader, whose hardware allows the read information to be transferred to personal computer via the PS/2 interface or USB (by emulating key presses on virtual keyboard), or shown on display.
