Wehrl entropy of the state in a two-atom Tavis-Cummings model

Debraj Nath, P. K. Das (2011)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper we present an entropic description of quantum state obtained by interaction of one mode of quantized electromagnetic field with two two-level atoms inside a cavity, known as Tavis-Cumming model. Wehrl entropy has been calculated analytically and investigated as a function of the average value of the photon number operator. Husimi's Q function has been calculated and compared with the behaviour of the field entropy.

When some variational properties force convexity

M. Volle, J.-B. Hiriart-Urruty, C. Zălinescu (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The notion of adequate (resp. strongly adequate) function has been recently introduced to characterize the essentially strictly convex (resp. essentially firmly subdifferentiable) functions among the weakly lower semicontinuous (resp. lower semicontinuous) ones. In this paper we provide various necessary and sufficient conditions in order that the lower semicontinuous hull of an extended real-valued function on a reflexive Banach space is essentially strictly convex. Some new results on nearest...

Why minimax is not that pessimistic

Aurelia Fraysse (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

In nonparametric statistics a classical optimality criterion for estimation procedures is provided by the minimax rate of convergence. However this point of view can be subject to controversy as it requires to look for the worst behavior of an estimation procedure in a given space. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a new criterion based on generic behavior of estimators. We are here interested in the rate of convergence obtained with some classical estimators on almost every, in the sense...
