The pair coherent states for a two-mode radiation field are known to belong to a family of states with non-Gaussian wave function. The nature of quantum entanglement between the two modes and some features of non-classicality are studied for such states. The existing criteria for inseparability are examined in the context of pair coherent states. PACS numbers: 03.67.Mn, 42.50.Dv ‡ On leave of a...

The two quotes above suggest alternate ideas about the sources of happiness. The first (written around AD 180) is nn Aristotelian notion. Happiness is a way of living, not a state.

We present a new semantics for Description Logic programs [1] (dlprograms) that combine reasoning about ontologies in description logics with non-monotonic rules interpreted under answer set semantics. Our semantics is equivalent to that of [1], but is more logical in style, being based on the logic QHT of quantified here-and-there that provides a foundation for ordinary logic programs under an...

Although some theory suggests that it is impossible to increase one’s subjective well-being (SWB), our ‘sustainable happiness model’ (Lyubomirsky, Sheldon, & Schkade, 2005) specifies conditions under which this may be accomplished. To illustrate the three classes of predictor in the model, we first review research on the demographic/circumstantial, temperament/personality, and intentional/exper...
