OUT-OF-TIME-ORDER CORRELATORS IN QUANTUM MECHANICS

Out-of-time-order correlators in quantum mechanics

Abstract The out-of-time-order correlator (OTOC) is considered as a measure of quantum chaos.We formulate how to calculate the OTOC for quantum mechanics with a general Hamiltonian.We demonstrate explicit calculations of OTOCs for a harmonic oscillator, a particle in a one-dimensional box, a circle billiard and stadium billiards.For the first two c

The Role of BTBD7 in Normal Development and Tumor Progression

BTB/POZ domain-containing protein 7 (BTBD7) has a relative molecular weight of 126KD and contains two conserved BTB/POZ protein sequences.BTBD7 has been shown to play an essential role in normal human development, precancerous lesions, heat-stress response, and tumor progression.BTBD7 promotes branching morphogenesis during development and particip

Look in the Mirror, Not Out the Window

Over the past few decades, institutions have developed complex systems to compare themselves to others with the goal of improving healthcare quality.This process of comparison to others, called external benchmarking, has Poly V Belt become the standard approach for quality improvement.However, external benchmarking is resource intensive, may not be

CRISPR loci reveal networks of gene exchange in archaea

Abstract Background CRISPR (Clustered, Regularly, Girls Christmas Sweater Interspaced, Short, Palindromic Repeats) loci provide prokaryotes with an adaptive immunity against viruses and other mobile genetic elements.CRISPR arrays can be transcribed and processed into small crRNA molecules, which are then used by the cell to target the foreign nucle
