In this paper, we calculate theoretically the relaxation rates of hot, thermal and antinodal quasiparticles by using Fermi’s golden rule. The transition probabilities at low temperatures express in terms of Bogoliubov coefficients, singlet and triplet scattering amplitudes and dimensionless Landau parameters. The values of Landau parameters may be determined by comparison with the experimental ...

A standing problem in low-dimensional electron systems is the nature of the 5/2 fractional quantum Hall (FQH) state: Its elementary excitations are a focus for both elucidating the state's properties and as candidates in methods to perform topological quantum computation. Interferometric devices may be used to manipulate and measure quantum Hall edge excitations. Here we use a small-area edge s...

Inverse Fourier Transform of optical conductivity is used for studies of quasiparticle relaxation in Heavy Fermions in time domain. We demonstrate the usefulness of the procedure on model spectra and then use it to study quasiparticle relaxation in two Heavy Fermions YbFe4Sb12 and CeRu4Sb12. Optical conductivity in time domain reveals details of quasiparticle relaxation close to the Fermi level...

We have engineered the band gap profile of transmon qubits by combining oxygen-doped Al for tunnel junction electrodes and clean Al as quasiparticle traps to investigate energy relaxation due to quasiparticle tunneling. The relaxation time T1 of the qubits is shown to be insensitive to this band gap engineering. Operating at relatively low-E(J)/E(C) makes the transmon transition frequency disti...

We study leading-order many-body effects of longitudinal optical (LO) phonons on electronic properties of one-dimensional quantum wire systems. We calculate the quasiparticle properties of a weakly polar one dimensional electron gas in the presence of both electron-phonon and electron-electron interactions. The leading-order dynamical screening approximation (GW approximation) is used to obtain...

The recent interpretation of the phonon-roton excitations in superfluid He as a density mode at low wave vector and a quasiparticle excitation at higher Q proposed by Glyde and Griffin is developed. When there is a condensate, no( T ), the quasiparticle response of liquid He, becomes a component of the observed density dynamic structure factor, S(g, to). The quasiparticle and density response f...

The osmotic pressure of 3He-4He solutions is shown to follow in a natural way from the separation of the specific heat in a quasiparticle contribution and a 4He-contribution. Expressions for important thermodynamic properties such as the chemical potentials, the internal energy, the entropy, specific heat, osmotic pressure, etc. are given for the case the quasiparticle gas can be treated as a n...

The Josephson quasiparticle (JQP) cycle in a voltage-biased superconducting single-electron transistor (SSET) combines coherent Cooper pair tunneling with incoherent quasiparticle decay. We have measured the influence of current flow through an independently-biased SSET on the JQP cycle when the two SSET’s have a strong mutual capacitive coupling. We find, among other effects, that the JQP curr...

A method based on the consistent use of the Green function formalism has been developed to calculate the distribution of the single-particle strength in odd nuclei with pairing. The method takes into account the quasiparticle-phonon interaction, ground state correlations and a " refinement " of phenomenological single-particle energies and pairing gap values from the quasiparticle-phonon intera...

We have calculated low-lying quasiparticle excitation spectra of rotating three-dimensional Bose-Einstein condensates. We find, as opposed to the prediction of hydrodynamic continuum theories, a minimum in the Tkachenko mode spectrum at intermediate rotation frequencies of the harmonic trap. Such a minimum can harbour a Tkachenko quasiparticle with zero excitation energy. We discuss the experim...
