A "Schrodinger cat"-like state of matter was generated at the single atom level. A trapped 9Be+ ion was laser-cooled to the zero-point energy and then prepared in a superposition of spatially separated coherent harmonic oscillator states. This state was created by application of a sequence of laser pulses, which entangles internal (electronic) and external (motional) states of the ion. The Schr...

We study the Oberbeck-Boussinesq approximation describing the motion of an incompressible, heat-conducting fluid occupying a general unbounded domain in R3. We provide a rigorous justification of the model by means of scale analysis of the full Navier-Stokes-Fourier system in the low Mach and Froude number regime on large domains, the diameter of which is proportional to the speed of sound. Fin...

Consideration is given to the influence of an underwater landslide on waves at the surface of a shallow body of fluid. The equations of motion which govern the evolution of the barycenter of the landslide mass include various dissipative effects due to bottom friction, internal energy dissipation, and viscous drag. The surface waves are studied in the Boussinesq scaling, with time-dependent bat...

In this paper, a high-order method for solving the Schrodinger equation is introduced. We apply a compact finite difference approximation for discretizing spatial derivatives and we use the C-cubic spline collocation method for the time integration of the resulting linear system of ordinary differential equations. The proposed method has fourth-order accuracy in both space and time variables. W...

A class of model equations that describe the bi-directional propagation of small amplitude long waves on the surface of shallow water is derived from two-dimensional potential flow equations at various orders of approximation in two small parameters, namely the amplitude parameter a 1⁄4 a=h0 and wavelength parameter b 1⁄4 ðh0=lÞ2, where a and l are the actual amplitude and wavelength of the sur...

Many simulation algorithms (chemical reaction systems, differential systems arising from the modeling of transient behavior in the process industries and etc.) contain the numerical solution of systems of differential equations. For the efficient solution of the above mentioned problems, linear multistep methods or Runge-Kutta technique are used. For the simulation of chemical procedures the ra...
