description: One of the most pressing issues in quantum key distribution (QKD) is the problem of detector side- channel attacks. To overcome this problem, researchers proposed an elegant "time-reversal" QKD protocol called measurement-device-independent QKD (MDI-QKD), which is based on time-reversed entanglement swapping. However, MDI-QKD is more challenging to implement than standard point- to-point QKD. Recently, an intermediary QKD protocol called detector-device-independent QKD (DDI-QKD) has been proposed to overcome the drawbacks of MDI-QKD, with the hope that it would eventually lead to a more efficient detector side-channel-free QKD system. Here, we analyze the security of DDI-QKD and elucidate its security assumptions. We find that DDI-QKD is not equivalent to MDI-QKD, but its security can be demonstrated with reasonable assumptions. On the more practical side, we consider the feasibility of DDI-QKD and present a fast experimental demonstration (clocked at 625 MHz), capable of secret key exchange up to more than 90 km.

description: High-energy behavior of R-ratio of electron-positron annihilation into hadrons is studied. In particular, it is argued that at any given order of perturbation theory the re-expansion of the R-ratio in the ultraviolet asymptotic can be reduced to the form of power series in the naive continuation of the strong running coupling into the timelike domain. The convergence range of the re-expanded R-ratio and the corresponding higher-order pi2-terms are discussed.

description: We report on the energy spectrum of electrons in twisted bilayer graphene (tBLG) obtained by the band-unfolding method in the tight-binding model. We find the band-gap opening at particular points in the reciprocal space, that elucidates the drastic reduction of the Fermi-level velocity with the tiny twisted angles in tBLGs. We find that Moirè pattern caused by the twist of the two graphene layers generates interactions among Dirac cones, otherwise absent, and the resultant cone-cone interactions peculiar to each point in the reciprocal space causes the energy gap and thus reduced the Fermi-level velocity.

Analytical studies of the complex Langevin equation with a Gaussian Ansatz and multiple solutions in the unstable region

description: We investigate a simple model using the numerical simulation in the complex Langevin equation (CLE) and the analytical approximation with the Gaussian Ansatz. We find that the Gaussian Ansatz captures the essential and even quantitative features of the CLE results quite well including unwanted behavior in the unstable region where the CLE converges to a wrong answer. The Gaussian Ansatz is therefore useful for looking into this convergence problem and we find that the exact answer in the unstable region is nicely reproduced by another solution that is naively excluded from the stability condition. We consider the Gaussian probability distributions corresponding to multiple solutions along the Lefschetz thimble to discuss the stability and the locality. Our results suggest a prescription to improve the convergence of the CLE simulation to the exact answer.

Song cycle as life cycle: Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco's The Divan of Moses Ibn Ezra and the persistence of memory
Creators: name: Leventhal, Paul M.
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Mario Castelnuovo-Tedesco was a prolific composer who gained reputation from the 1920s as a young writer of modern Italian music. Following implementation of Italy's antisemitic racial laws in 1939, Castelnuovo-Tedesco emigrat d to America. There, he became recognised within the Hollywood film-music industry and known as a major composer for the guitar, an instrument he did not play. Throughout his career Castelnuovo-Tedesco placed special emphasis on composing themes inspired by his Florentine background, by his Jewish roots, and by composing art song using great literary works. Connecting the visual to the aural, he was sometimes referred to as an ' impressionistic ' composer due to the highly visual atmospheres he depicted in his music, he utilised elements of ordered and clear Italian neoclassicism , emotional and melodic French neoromanticism, geometric German chromaticism, colourful chordal extensions, and dissonance in his music. This thesis takes as its focal point the last of his compositions that used culturally Jewish texts for its lyric and was written for guitar and voice. One of the great Jewish singer-poets of the Islamic period in Spain was Moses Ibn Ezra (c. 1055 - c.113 8), who was exiled from Granada. Castelnuovo-Tedesco used an English rendition of Ibn Ezra's secular poetry and in 1966 selected nineteen songs which became Opus 207, The Divan of Moses Ibn Ezra: A Cycle of Songs for Voice and Guitar. Themes that emerge in this sometimes dark song cycle are the pain of exile, love and friendship, morality, and mortality. Two lines of inquiry will be formed in this thesis. One line of inquiry focusses on the composition itself, to understand its musical and poetic significance. In doing so, it will arrive at some conclusions as to why Castelnuovo-Tedesco chose this poetic material, and in what respects it is a unique composition. The second major line of inquiry is contextualising the Divan as representative of a cultural continuum connecting medieval poet to the modern composer. Underpinning historical and musicological elements, use will be made of writings by philosophers, psychologists, cultural scientists, and historians to construct a theoretical framework highlighting the association that exiled Jewish diaspora populations maintained between their Jewishness and aesthetics, and highlighting the differentiation between commonality and connectivity in the Jewish historical experience. The goal of this research is to ascertain the socio-historical and cultural conditions that led Castelnuovo-Tedesco to the Divan and suggest some implications it has on the study of identity. The the oretical approach is cross-disciplinary and amplifies the conceptual frames of cultural identity, concepts of diaspora, and the transference of memory.

description: A description is given of a three-dimensional box-shaped graphene (BSG) nanostructure formed/uncovered by mechanical cleavage of highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG). The discovered nanostructure is a multilayer system of parallel hollow channels located along the surface and having quadrangular cross-section. The thickness of the channel walls/facets is approximately equal to 1 nm. The typical width of channel facets makes about 25 nm, the channel length is 390 nm and more. The investigation of the found nanostructure by means of a scanning tunneling microscope (STM) allows us to draw a conclusion that it is possible to make spatial constructions of graphene similar to the discovered one by mechanical compression, bending, splitting, and shifting graphite surface layers. The distinctive features of such constructions are the following: simplicity of the preparation method, small contact area between graphene planes and a substrate, large surface area, nanometer cross-sectional sizes of the channels, large aspect ratio. Potential fields of application include: ultra-sensitive detectors, high-performance catalytic cells, nanochannels for DNA manipulation, nanomechanical resonators, electron multiplication channels, high-capacity sorbents for hydrogen storage.

description: The self-consistent GWΓ method satisfies the Ward-Takahashi identity (i.e., the gauge invariance or the local charge continuity) for arbitrary energy ($ω$) and momentum ($\bf q$) transfers. Its self-consistent first-principles treatment of the vertex $Γ=Γ_v$ or $Γ_W$ is possible to first order in the bare ($v$) or dynamically-screened ($W$) Coulomb interaction. It is developed within a linearized scheme and combined with the Bethe-Salpeter equation (BSE) to accurately calculate photoabsorption spectra (PAS) and photoemission (or inverse photoemission) spectra (PES) simultaneously. The method greatly improves the PAS of Na, Na$_3$, B$_2$, and C$_2$H$_2$ calculated using the standard one-shot $G_0W_0$ + BSE method that results in significantly redshifted PAS by 0.8-3.1 eV, although the PES are well reproduced already in $G_0W_0$.

description: The variation of the vector magnetic field along structures in the solar corona remains unmeasured. Using a unique combination of spectropolarimetry and stereoscopy, we infer and compare the vector magnetic field structure and three-dimensional morphology of an individuated coronal loop structure undergoing a thermal instability. We analyze spectropolarimetric data of the He I 10830 Å triplet ($1s2s{\ }^{3}S_{1} - 1s2p{\ }^{3}P_{2,1,0}$) obtained at the Dunn Solar Telescope with the Facility Infrared Spectropolarimeter on 19 September 2011. Cool coronal loops are identified by their prominent drainage signatures in the He I data (redshifts up to 185 km sec$^{-1}$). Extinction of EUV background radiation along these loops is observed by both the Atmospheric Imaging Assembly onboard the Solar Dynamics Observatory and the Extreme Ultraviolet Imager onboard spacecraft A of the Solar Terrestrial Relations Observatory, and is used to stereoscopically triangulate the loop geometry up to heights of 70 Mm ($0.1$ $R_{sun}$) above the solar surface. The He I polarized spectra along this loop exhibit signatures indicative of atomic-level polarization as well as magnetic signatures through the Hanle and Zeeman effects. Spectropolarimetric inversions indicate that the magnetic field is generally oriented along the coronal loop axis, and provide the height dependence of the magnetic field intensity. The technique we demonstrate is a powerful one that may help better understand the thermodynamics of coronal fine structure magnetism.

description: Motivated by the striking modifications of jets observed both at RHIC and the LHC, significant progress towards the understanding of jet dynamics within QGP has occurred over the last few years. In this talk, I review the recent theoretical developments in the study of medium-induced jet evolution and energy loss within a perturbative framework. The main mechanisms of energy loss and broadening will be firstly addressed with focus on leading particle calculations beyond the eikonal approximation. Then, I will provide an overview of the modifications of the interference pattern between the different parton emitters that build up the parton shower when propagating through an extended coloured medium. I will show that the interplay between color coherence/decoherence that arises from such effects is the main mechanism for the modification of the jet core angular structure. Finally, I discuss the possibility of a probabilistic picture of the parton shower evolution in the limit of a very dense or infinite medium.

The properties of nitrogen-vacancy centres in nanodiamond
Creators: name: Bradac, Carlo
Publisher: name: Macquarie University
Year: 2022
Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Diamond is unique. Whether mechanical, thermal, electrical or optical, its properties are within the most extreme compared to those of any other material. This, together with the fact that in the last fifty years the synthesis of artificial diamond has become a reality, makes it very attractive for engineering and technological purposes. The range of diamond-based applications is very diverse and, among the others, includes its use in mechanical machining, high-power high-frequency electronics and high transmissivity optics. -- Diamond is also host to a wide variety of crystallographic defects. Appropriately controlled, they can be used to tune the characteristics of the material, but even more interestingly they often possess attractive optical properties on their own. In particular, nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centres in diamond have been the subject of extensive study in the last few years. They possess unique room-temperature optical and spin properties which make them promising systems for solid-state qubits in quantum information technologies and for emerging applications in biotechnology, nanomedicine and high resolution magnetometry, such as drug delivery, fluorescent biomarking and spin imaging. -- This thesis is focused on NV centres in diamond. I first present an extensive review on diamond as a material, describing in detail its physical properties, the methods that have been developed to synthesise it and some of its possible applications. I then move the attention specifically to NV centres in nanodiamonds (NDs), i.e. diamond crystals in the nanometre size range (0-100 nm). They are a potential candidate for emerging technologies including high-resolution magnetometry and biomedical imaging. For these applications, specific material requirements, such as the small size of the diamond nanocrystals and the optical stability of the hosted NV centres, are crucial. The NV stability with respect to the nanodiamond size and surface is the central theme of this thesis. I analyse the optical behaviour of NV centres in nanodiamond while varying a number of key parameters such as size, surface termination and diamond origin. Based on the measurements, I conclude whether the nanodiamond size and the NV surface proximity are factors that must be taken into consideration in order to control the material and realise nanotechnologies based on NV centres in nanodiamonds.
Magnetic sublevel independent magic wavelengths: Application in the Rb and Cs atoms

description: A generic scheme to trap atoms at the magic wavelengths ($λ_{\rm{magic}}$s) that are independent of vector and tensor components of the interactions of the atoms with the external electric field is presented. The $λ_{\rm{magic}}$s for the laser cooling D2 lines in the Rb and Cs atoms are demonstrated and their corresponding polarizability values without vector and tensor contributions are given. Consequently, these $λ_{\rm{magic}}$s are independent of magnetic sublevels and hyperfine levels of the atomic states involved in the transition, thus, can offer unique approaches to carry out many high precision measurements with minimal systematics. Inevitably, the proposed technique can also be used for electronic or hyperfine transitions in other atomic systems.

description: We explore parabolic pre-shaping as a means of generating and amplifying ultrashort pulses. We develop a theoretical framework for modeling the technique and use its conclusions to design a femtosecond fiber amplifier. Starting from 9 ps pulses, we obtain 4.3 $μ$J, nearly transform-limited pulses 275 fs in duration, simultaneously achieving over 40 dB gain and 33-fold compression. Finally, we show that this amplification scheme is limited by Raman scattering, and outline a method by which the pulse duration and energy may be further improved and tailored for a given application.

description: We consider a linear precoder design for an underlay cognitive radio multiple-input multiple-output broadcast channel, where the secondary system consisting of a secondary base-station (BS) and a group of secondary users (SUs) is allowed to share the same spectrum with the primary system. All the transceivers are equipped with multiple antennas, each of which has its own maximum power constraint. Assuming zero-forcing method to eliminate the multiuser interference, we study the sum rate maximization problem for the secondary system subject to both per-antenna power constraints at the secondary BS and the interference power constraints at the primary users. The problem of interest differs from the ones studied previously that often assumed a sum power constraint and/or single antenna employed at either both the primary and secondary receivers or the primary receivers. To develop an efficient numerical algorithm, we first invoke the rank relaxation method to transform the considered problem into a convex-concave problem based on a downlink-uplink result. We then propose a barrier interior-point method to solve the resulting saddle point problem. In particular, in each iteration of the proposed method we find the Newton step by solving a system of discrete-time Sylvester equations, which help reduce the complexity significantly, compared to the conventional method. Simulation results are provided to demonstrate fast convergence and effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.

A panoramic virtual reality system for visual navigation studies in solitary foraging ants

Publisher: name: Macquarie University

Subjects: Other education not elsewhere classified

description: Solitary foraging ant species can employ an array of navigational tools to successfully return to the nest from foraging trips, including path integration and vision-based navigation. Species inhabiting cluttered environments that are visually rich, like Melophorus bagoti and multiple Myrmecia species, rely heavily on cues from these visual landmarks and the surrounding panorama. Additionally, these ant species can utilise the sky compass to orient by detecting both the sun’s position and the sky’s UV and polarised light gradients. Multiple characteristics of landmarks, the surrounding panorama and the sky compass cannot be realistically manipulated in the natural environment but can be readily manipulated by using a virtual reality (VR) environment under laboratory conditions. Here we present a novel virtual reality system that projects a visual panorama using commercially available projectors. This system provides a 300° visual panorama and includes a spherical treadmill system to record the individual’s movement and orientation. We present a thorough description of the virtual reality system and demonstrate the system’s performance by comparing the orientation in the virtual reality system and the natural environment. Individuals in virtual reality conditions did not orient towards the nest, suggesting the VR system is missing some crucial component for navigation.

description: Chemical substitution plays a key role in controlling the electronic and magnetic properties of complex materials. For instance, in EuO, carrier doping can induce a spin-polarized metallic state, colossal magnetoresistance, and significantly enhance the Curie temperature. Here, we employ a combination of molecular-beam epitaxy, angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy, and an effective model calculation to investigate and understand how semi-localized states evolve in lightly electron doped Eu$_{1-x}$Gd$_{x}$O above the ferromagnetic Curie temperature. Our studies reveal a characteristic length scale for the spatial extent of the donor wavefunctions which remains constant as a function of doping, consistent with recent tunneling studies of doped EuO. Our work sheds light on the nature of the semiconductor-to-metal transition in Eu$_{1-x}$Gd$_{x}$O and should be generally applicable for doped complex oxides.

description: The photon-ion merged-beams technique was used at a synchrotron light source for measuring absolute cross sections of double and triple photodetachment of O$^{-}$ ions. The experimental photon energy range of 524-543 eV comprised the threshold for K-shell ionization. Using resolving powers of up to 13,000, the position, strength and width of the below-threshold 1s 2s2 2p6 2S resonance as well as the positions of the 1s 2s2 2p5 3P and 1s 2s2 2p5 1P thresholds for K-shell ionization were determined with high precision. In addition, systematically enlarged multi-configuration Dirac-Fock calculations have been performed for the resonant detachment cross sections. Results from these ab-initio computations agree very well with the measurements for the widths and branching fractions for double and triple detachment, if double shake-up (and -down) of the valence electrons and the rearrangement of the electron density is taken into account. For the absolute cross sections, however, a previously found discrepancy between measurements and theory is confirmed.

STRANDED ASSETS AND EFFICIENT PRICING FOR REGULATED UTILITIES: A FEDERAL TAX SOLUTION
Creators: name: Roberts, Tracey
Publisher: name: Columbia Journal of Tax Law
Year: 2020

description: Most businesses recoup their investments in property, plant, and equipment from the income they earn from using those assets. When changes in markets, technology, or regulations reduce income from those assets or increase operating costs, businesses may not recover their full investments in those “stranded assets.” Unregulated firms generally contain these risks by diversifying assets and income streams, procuring insurance, or engaging in hedging transactions. Public utilities, however, must obtain a regulator’s permission both to manage these risks and to pass the costs of those assets forward to consumers. Globally, over $20 trillion in global fossil fuel assets may be stranded as countries pass climate change legislation. To date, investor and consumer concerns about stranded costs have delayed the adoption of carbon pricing schemes, spurred the rejection of greenhouse gas regulation altogether, and formed the basis for bankruptcy filings, takings litigation, and demands for relief. This article makes four contributions. First, it clarifies that under the existing tax and regulatory rules, the economic benefits of substantial tax subsidies are currently being passed forward to consumers, artificially reducing fossil fuel electricity rates, encouraging waste, and increasing emissions. Second, it quantifies the extent of stranded assets held by public utilities in the United States, pulling data on unrecovered capital from the securities filings of the fifteen largest firms in the country. Third, it argues that U.S. tax measures have left fewer assets to be stranded, identifying $110 billion in “accumulated deferred income taxes” or “ADIT,” the tax savings from deferral, as a source of recovery. Finally, the article proposes a change in tax and regulatory policy that will enhance efficiency, remove one of the supports for carbon lock-in, and help manage the threat of stranded assets, smoothing the transition to a carbon-neutral economy.

description: Inspired by the chromo-natural inflation model of Adshead&Wyman, we reshape its scalar content to relax the tension with current observational bounds. Besides an inflaton, the setup includes a spectator sector in which an axion and SU(2) gauge fields are coupled via a Chern-Simons-type term. The result is a viable theory endowed with an alternative production mechanism for gravitational waves during inflation. The gravitational wave signal sourced by the spectator fields can be much larger than the contribution from standard vacuum fluctuations, it is distinguishable from the latter on the basis of its chirality and, depending on the theory parameters values, also its tilt. This production process breaks the well-known relation between the tensor-to-scalar ratio and the energy scale of inflation. As a result, even if the Hubble rate is itself too small for the vacuum to generate a tensor amplitude detectable by upcoming experiments, this model still supports observable gravitational waves.

I’m Upset, not Ashamed: An Investigation into Adolescent Shame Acknowledgement
Creators: name: Putnam, Olivia
name: Lake, Keely
Publisher: name: Columbia Undergraduate Science Journal
Year: 2020

description: Shame is a powerful and acutely painful “master emotion” that is strongly correlated with maladaptive behav- iors and a host of psychological symptoms. Concerningly, the affect remains under-researched and difficult to identify or address in a clinical setting. This may be caused, at least in part, by shame’s intrinsically hidden nature, which drives people to deny the emotion and express it through other means. This study aimed to understand the degree to which people fail to acknowledge their own shame and the psychological and behavioral implications of this shame. Participants completed both a self-report measure of shame and an empirical assessment of internalized shame, as well as measures of shame coping methods and emotional regulation. As expected, results showed no significant correlation between participants’ self-rated shame and measured shame. We also saw a significant correlation between assessed internalized shame and use of shame- coping methods as well as difficulty in emotion regulation – specifically, difficulty with clarity of emotion, acceptance of emotions, and strategies for coping with emotions. These findings indicate that people struggle to acknowledge their own shame and also speak to the maladaptive, dysregulated ways people manage their shame. Recognizing shame as a powerful emotion with implications in psychiatric disorders and understanding the factors that prevent people from acknowledging their own shame may help improve treatment for those who struggle with the emotion and reduce the likelihood that they will engage in maladaptive coping behaviors.

description: White island, the most active volcano in New Zealand, is a poorly studied environment that represents an ideal site for the investigation of acidophilic thermophiles. The microorganisms present on here are continually exposed to extreme environmental conditions as they are surrounded by steamy sulphurous fumaroles and acidic streams. The sediment temperature ranges from 38°C to 104°C whilst maintaining pH values below 3. A survey of the volcanic hydrothermal system of White Island was undertaken in order to gain insights onto the microbial diversity using culture-dependant techniques and molecular and phylogenetic analyses. A novel liquid medium based on "soil-extract" was designed which supported growth of bacterial and archaeal mixed cultures. Molecular analyses revealed that the dominant culturable bacterial species belong to the Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes and α-Proteobacteria groups. Several previously uncultured archaeal species were also present in the mixed cultures. The knowledge gained from these studies was intended to help in the development of a novel microbial detection technique suitable for community analysis. -- Conventional molecular techniques used to study microbial biodiversity in environmental samples are both time-consuming and expensive. A novel bead-based assay employing Quantum dots (QDs) was considered to have many advantages over standard molecular techniques. These include high detection speeds, sensitivity, specificity, flexibility and the capability for multiplexed analysis. QDs are inorganic semiconductor nanoparticles made up of crystals about the size of proteins. It has been claimed that the physical and chemical properties of the QDs have significant advantages compared to organic dyes, including brighter fluorescence and resistance to photo-bleaching. Their optical properties facilitate the simultaneous imaging of multiple colours due to their flexible excitation and narrow band emission. Functionalised QDs are able to bind to different biological targets such as DNA, allowing high-throughput analysis for rapid detection and quantification of genes and cells. -- The optical and physical characteristics of the QDs as well their interaction with biomolecules are shown to be suitable for the development of a novel bead-based technique able to target the key microbial species and identify them by flow cytometric measurements (FCM). The broad absorption and narrow emission spectra of the QDs, as well as their fluorescence intensity and specify to target biomolecules, was compared to other organic fluorophores. The potential advantages and limitations of QDs as a fluorophores for biological applications are discussed. -- The data acquired during this study provides a broad overview of the microbial diversity and ecology of the volcanically-active hydrothermal systems of White Island and constitutes the baseline for the development of a novel bead-based technique based on QDs.
