A comparison of the Laplace and the alternative multipole expansion series for the Coulomb potential
(Research Gate, 2023)Multipole expansion is a powerful technique used in many-body physics to solve dynamical problems involving correlated interactions between constituent particles. The Laplace multipole expansion series of the Coulomb ... -
Anti-Jaynes-Cummings interaction of a two-level atom with squeezed light: A comparison with the Jaynes-Cummings interaction
(Maseno University, 2022)We considered the anti-Jaynes-Cummings (AJC) interaction of a two-level atom in an initial ground state interacting with a field mode in an initial squeezed coherent state at arbitrary values of squeeze parameter r and ... -
On atomic state purity operator, degree of state purity and concurrence in the JC and anti-JC models
(Maseno University, 2020)The state of an atom in a bipartite qubit, Jaynes-Cummings (JC) or anti-Jaynes-Cummings (aJC) interaction is described by a reduced density operator. The purity of the state has been measured by taking the trace of the ... -
Patient Characteristics from an Emergency Care Center in Rural Western Kenya
(Elsevier, 2019)Emergency care is a neglected area of focus in many low- and middle-income countries. There is a paucity of research on types and frequencies of acute illnesses and injuries in low-resource settings. -
Acoustics of fractal porous material and fractional calculus
(MDPI, 2021)In this paper, we present a fractal (self-similar) model of acoustic propagation in a porous material with a rigid structure. The fractal medium is modeled as a continuous medium of non-integer spatial dimension. The basic ... -
