Time Reversal Polarization and a Z2 Adiabatic Spin Pump
We introduce and analyze a class of one-dimensional insulating Hamiltonians that, when adiabatically varied in an appropriate closed cycle, define a “Z2 pump.” For an isolated system, a single closed cycle of the pump changes the expectation value of the spin at each end even when spin-orbit interactions violate the conservation of spin. A second cycle, however, returns the system to its origin...
متن کاملPolarization Reversal and Luminosity Gain by Spin Reversal of Stored Proton Beams
In conventional polarized beam experiments, the projectile is incident upon a target external to the accelerator. In this case, the direction of the polarization vector of the beam can be reversed at the polarized ion source without any loss in luminosity. In the Cooler, however, the polarization of the stored beam has been given by the polarization direction during injection. Reversal of the p...
متن کاملTime Reversal Invariance and the Transverse Spin Structure of Hadrons
where s is the particle’s spin, sz its third component, and an irrelevant phase has been omitted. An important point, with far-reaching consequences, is that T maps “in” states into “out” states: T : |in〉 → |out〉. In what follows, we shall discuss the rôle that TR plays in the transverse spin structure of hadrons . Before entering into the subject, it is worth recalling that the implementation ...
متن کاملSpin-Orbit Coupling and Time-Reversal Symmetry in Quantum Gates
We study the effect of spin-orbit coupling on quantum gates produced by pulsing the exchange interaction between two single electron quantum dots. Spin-orbit coupling enters as a small spin precession when electrons tunnel between dots. For adiabatic pulses the resulting gate is described by a unitary operator acting on the four-dimensional Hilbert space of two qubits. If the precession axis is...
متن کاملNon-Standard Time Reversal and Transverse Single-Spin Asymmetries
A system of quarks interacting with chiral fields is shown to provide a physical realization of a “non-standard” time reversal for particle multiplets which mixes the multiplet components. We argue that, if the internal structure of the nucleon is governed by a chiral dynamics, the so-called T -odd quark distribution functions are not forbidden by time-reversal invariance and hence might be non...
