We show that spin-squeezing implies entanglement for the quantum tripartite state, where the subsystem of the bipartite state is identical. We study the relation between spin-squeezing parameters and entanglement through the quantum entropy of a system, starting initially in a pure state when the cavity is binomial. We show that spin-squeezing can be a convenient tool to give some insight into the subsystems entanglement dynamics when the bipartite subsystem interacts simultaneously with the cavity field subsystem, especially when the interaction occurs off-resonantly without and with a nonlinear medium contained in the cavity field subsystem. We illustrate that, in the case of large off-resonance interaction, spin-squeezing clarifies the properties of entanglement almost with full success. However, it is not a general rule when the cavity is assumed to be filled with a nonlinear medium. In this case, we illustrate that the insight into entanglement dynamics becomes more clear in the case of a weak nonlinear medium than in strong nonlinear medium. In parallel, the role of the phase-space distribution in quantifying entanglement is also studied. The numerical results of Husimi Q-function show that the integer strength of the nonlinear medium produces Schrödinger cat states, which is necessary for quantum entanglement.

AbstractQuantum walk is a synonym for multi-path interference and faster spread of a particle in a superposition of position space. We study the effects of a quantum mechanical interaction modeled to mimic quantum mechanical gravitational interaction between the two states of the walkers. The study has been carried out to investigate the entanglement generation between the two quantum walkers that do not otherwise interact. We see that the states do in fact get entangled more and more as the quantum walks unfold, and there is an interesting dependence of entanglement generation on the mass of the two particles performing the walks. With the introduction of noise into the dynamics, we also show the sensitivity of entanglement between the two walkers on the noise introduced in one of the walks. The signature of quantum effects due to gravitational interactions highlights the potential role of quantum systems in probing the nature of gravity.

AbstractWhitehouse adapts insights from evolutionary anthropology to interpret extreme self-sacrifice through the concept of identity fusion. The model neglects the role of normative systems in shaping behaviors, especially in relation to violent extremism. In peaceful groups, increasing fusion will actually decrease extremism. Groups collectively appraise threats and opportunities, actively debate action options, and rarely choose violence toward self or others.

AbstractIntuitions guide decision-making, and looking to the evolutionary history of humans illuminates why some behavioral responses are more intuitive than others. Yet a place remains for cognitive processes to second-guess intuitive responses – that is, to be reflective – and individual differences abound in automatic, intuitive processing as well.

Abstract Tomasello offers a compelling account of the emergence of humans’ sense of obligation. We suggest that more needs to be said about the role of affect in the creation of obligations. We also argue that positive emotions such as gratitude evolved to encourage individuals to fulfill cooperative obligations without the negative quality that Tomasello proposes is inherent in obligations.
