Entanglement in quantum computers described by the XXZ model with defects.
(American Physical Society, 2003-06)We investigate on how to generate maximally entangled states in systems characterized by the Hamiltonian of the XXZ model with defects. Some proposed quantum computers are described by such a model. Defects embedded in ... -
Localization and the effects of symmetries in the thermalization properties of one-dimensional quantum systems.
(American Physical Society, 2010)We study how the proximity to an integrable point or to localization as one approaches the atomic limit, as well as the mixing of symmetries in the chaotic domain, may affect the onset of thermalization in finite one-dimensional ... -
Onset of quantum chaos in one-dimensional bosonic and fermionic systems and its relation to thermalization.
(American Physical Society, 2010)By means of full exact diagonalization, we study level statistics and the structure of the eigenvectors of one-dimensional gapless bosonic and fermionic systems across the transition from integrability to quantum chaos. ... -
Quantum chaos and thermalization in gapped systems.
(American Physical Society, 2010-07)We investigate the onset of thermalization and quantum chaos in finite one-dimensional gapped systems of hard-core bosons. Integrability in these systems is broken by next-nearest-neighbor repulsive interactions, which ... -
Betar and Aelia Capitolina: Symbols of Jewish suffering.
(Yeshiva University, 2011) -
Entropy of Isolated Quantum Systems after a Quench.
(American Physical Society, 2011-07-18)A diagonal entropy, which depends only on the diagonal elements of the system’s density matrix in the energy representation, has been recently introduced as the proper definition of thermodynamic entropy in out-of-equilibrium ... -
The 9th century BCE destruction layer at Tell es-Safi/Gath, Israel: integrating macro- and microarchaeology.
(Elsevier, 2011-12)Destruction events in multi-period sites are valuable marker horizons that represent time-synchronous events across the site and sometimes between sites. Destruction layers often preserve rich finds that provide insights ... -
Celebrating Pesach in the Land of the Pharaohs.
(Yeshiva University, 2012) -
The relationship between the Jewish people and Yerushalayim: A historical account of the first 400 years.
(Yeshiva University. Th, 2013) -
Social categories as markers of intrinsic interpersonal obligations.
(SAGE Publications, 2013-06)Social categorization is an early-developing feature of human social cognition, yet the role that social categories play in how children understand and predict human behavior has been unclear. These studies test whether ... -
Universal fractional map and cascade of bifurcations type attractors
(Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2013-09)We modified the way in which the Universal Map is obtained in the regular dynamics to derive the Universal α-Family of Maps depending on a single parameter α>0, which is the order of the fractional derivative in the nonlinear ... -
Preschoolers use social allegiances to predict behavior.
(Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2014) -
In pursuit of a wild patience
(Routledge / Taylor & Francis, 2014)This essay explores how the concept of wild patience informs our practice of teaching and learning in classrooms and in teacher education; how it crafts imaginative spaces in curriculum design, implementation, and evaluation ... -
Teaching Teacha! An exploration of culturally responsive pedagogy in Jewish education
(Routledge / Taylor & Francis, 2014)This case study examines the contours of culturally relevant pedagogy in an undergraduate preservice teacher education program for Jewish women. The case describes how the assigned reading of Albarelli’s (2000) narrative ... -
Caputo standard α-family of maps: Fractional difference vs. fractional
(Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2014-06)In this paper, the author compares behaviors of systems which can be described by fractional differential and fractional difference equations using the fractional and fractional difference Caputo standard α-Families of ... -
Children’s use of categories and mental states to predict social behavior.
(American Psychological Association, 2014-10)Integrating generic information about categories with knowledge of specific individuals is a critical component of successful inductive inferences. The present study tested whether children’s approach to this task ... -
On the fractional Eulerian numbers and equivalence of maps with long term power-law memory (integral Volterra equations of the second kind) to Grünvald-Letnikov fractional difference (differential) equations
(Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 2015)In this paper, we consider a simple general form of a deterministic system with power-law memory whose state can be described by one variable and evolution by a generating function. A new value of the system's variable is ... -
Religious persecution, civil war, and bureaucratic mischief: A Chanukah story fo the ages.
(Yeshiva University, 2015)The vagaries of the Jewish experience are all manifest in the story of Chanukah. Some, such as religious persecution and factional tensions, are so familiar that we are almost inured to them. Others may make us pause as ... -
Dynamics at the many-body localization transition.
(American Physical Society, 2015-07)The isolated one-dimensional Heisenberg model with static random magnetic fields has become paradigmatic for the analysis of many-body localization. Here, we study the dynamics of this system initially prepared in a ... -
The communication of naïve theories of the social world in parent–child conversation.
(Taylor & Francis, 2015-07-13)Three studies examined the communication of naïve theories of social groups in conversations between parents and their 4-year-old children (N=48). Parent-child dyads read and discussed a storybook in which they either ...
