We present an analytical study of the loss of quantum coherence at absolute zero. Our model consists of a harmonic oscillator coupled to an environment of harmonic oscillators at absolute zero. We find that for an Ohmic bath, the offdiagonal elements of the density matrix in the position representation decay as a power law in time at late times. This slow loss of coherence in the quantum domain...

We show that the proportionately spaced emission bands in the dynamic spectrum of the Crab pulsar (Hankins T. H. & Eilek J. A., 2007, ApJ, 670, 693) fit the oscillations of the square of a Bessel function whose argument exceeds its order. This function has already been encountered in the analysis of the emission from a polarization current with a superluminal distribution pattern: a current who...

The MEMS gyroscope zero drifts dominantly affects measurement accuracy of gyroscope. For the nonlinear problem that MEMS gyro zero drift varying with the temperature changes, the wavelet transform was performed to filter the static experiment zero drift data, then the zero drift was investigate by combing with the improved grey prediction theory. Finally a temperature compensation model based o...
