چکیده

Abstract. In this paper we investigate the thermodynamic and the Stokes efficiency for a broad class of models for molecular motors. We use path-space formalism and time-symmetry breaking arguments to show that both efficiencies are smaller than 1. These arguments are model-independant and are thus applicable on a wide range of models. We also consider the motor as a ratchet which gives more bounds on the thermodynamic efficiency.

In this paper we obtain new bounds for the minimum output entropies of random quantum channels. These bounds rely on random matrix techniques arising from free probability theory. We then revisit the counterexamples developed by Hayden and Winter to get violations of the additivity equalities for minimum output Rényi entropies. We show that random channels obtained by randomly coupling the inpu...

A very preliminary study for a trigger for the PEP-N experiment is presented. Its aim is to show the feasibility of a very efficient trigger for multihadronic events based on energy releases in the electromagnetic calorimeter. Though the efficiency of such a trigger is very high and simple topology requirements can be applied to reduce cosmic background, an accurate study of machine background ...

For J/Ψ → ¯ ppπ 0 and ¯ ppπ + π − , the π 0 p and pπ + π − systems are limited to be pure isospin 1/2 due to isospin conservation. This is a big advantage in studying N * resonances from J/Ψ decays, compared with πN and γN experiments. The process J/Ψ → ¯ pN * or p ¯ N * provides a new way to probe the internal structure of the N * resonances. Here we report a quark model calculation for J/Ψ → ...
