There are two types of decisions: given the estimated state of affairs, one decides to change oneself in a certain way (that is best suited for the given conditions); given what one is, one decides to change the state of affairs in a certain way (that is best suited for what one wants for oneself). Jaynes' approach to decision theory accounts only for the first type of decisions, the case when ...

Shows equilibrium always exists (Rothschild-Stiglitz-Wilson model) when firms enforce policy exclusivity via strategic (profit-maximizing) communication of client purchases. Strategic communication induces two equilibrium types: partial communication of purchase information or non-communication which exhibits a lemon effect (low-risk purchase no insurance). Nonetheless, Jaynes' configuration (J...

Entanglement of the excitonic states in the system of two coupled semiconductor microcrystallites, whose sizes are much larger than the Bohr radius of exciton in bulk semiconductor but smaller than the relevant optical wavelength, is quantified in terms of the entropy of entanglement. It is observed that the nonlinear interaction between excitons increases the maximum values of the entropy of t...

We explore the potential of direct spectroscopy of ultranarrow optical transitions of atoms localized in an optical cavity. In contrast to stabilization against a reference cavity, which is the approach currently used for the most highly stabilized lasers, stabilization against an atomic transition does not suffer from Brownian thermal noise. Spectroscopy of ultranarrow optical transitions in a...

The m-photon Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian is a natural generalization of the much studied Jaynes-Cummings Hamiltonian. In this short note we give the relevant operators for the time-dependent generalized m-photon JaynesCummings Hamiltonian. The dynamical equations for these operators are also given. These operators are needed and indeed are the basic building blocks for performing calculations i...

We explore how the Jaynes-Cummings ladder transpires in the emitted spectra of a twolevel system in strong coupling with a single mode of light. We focus on the case of very strong coupling, that would be achieved with systems of exceedingly good quality (very long lifetimes for both the emitter and the cavity). We consider the incoherent regime of excitation, that is realized with semiconducto...

We study the dynamics of an ultrafast single photon pulse in a one-dimensional waveguide two-point coupled with a Jaynes-Cummings system. We find that for any single photon input the transmissivity depends periodically on the separation between the two coupling points. For a pulse containing many plane wave components it is almost impossible to suppress transmission, especially when the width o...

This paper provides a scheme for generating maximally entangled qubit states in the anti-Jaynes-Cummings interaction mechanism, so called anti-polariton states. We demonstrate that an initial vacuum-field, Rabi oscillations cavity mode process, occur reverse sense relative to Jaynes-Cummings process and time evolution of entanglement takes same form as process. With generated state one qubits, ...
