description: To achieve high degree of quantum noise squeezing, an optical cavity is often employed to enhance the interaction time between light and matter. Here, we propose to utilize the effect of coherent population trapping (CPT) to directly generate squeezed light without any optical cavity. Combined with the slow propagation speed of light in a CPT medium, a coherent state passing through an atomic ensemble with a high optical density (OD) can evolve into a highly squeezed state even in a single passage. Our study reveals that noise squeezing of more than $10$ dB can be achieved with an OD of 1,000, which is currently available in experiments. A larger OD can further increase the degree of squeezing. As the light intensity and two-photon detuning are key factors in the CPT interaction, we also demonstrate that the minimum variance at a given OD can be reached for a wide range of these two factors, showing the proposed scheme is flexible and robust. Furthermore, there is no need to consider the phase-matching condition in the CPT scheme. Our introduction of high OD in atomic media not only brings a long light-matter interaction time comparable to optical cavities, but also opens new avenue in the generation of squeezed light for quantum interface.

description: Doubly-selective channels, such as those that occur when the transmitter and the receiver move relative to each other at high speeds, are a key scenario for fifth generation (5G) cellular systems, which are mostly based in the use of the orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulation. In this paper, we consider an OFDM system using quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbols and we show that, when transmitting over deterministic doubly-selective channels, the inter-carrier interference (ICI) affecting a symbol can be well approximated by a complex-valued normal distribution. Based on this, we derive a lower bound for the link capacity using the Shannon-Hartley theorem. Finally, we provide an approximation of the bit error probability (BEP) using the well-known BEP expressions for Gray-coded QAM constellations over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) channels, and show numerical results that confirm that the proposed BEP expression approximates accurately the bit error ratio (BER) of the OFDM system for standardized channel models. The proposed closed-form analytical expressions for the capacity and the BEP do not only allow for discarding the need of computationally-costly Monte-Carlo system simulations, but also provide a theoretical framework to optimize the system parameters directly impacting on the achievable performance.

description: Time-modulated arrays (TMAs) are able to improve the side-lobe level of the radiation pattern at the fundamental mode but cannot steer the beam at such a mode towards a given direction. Beam-steering is possible in a TMA, but only at the harmonic patterns and at the expense of a severe TMA efficiency reduction. In this work we propose a TMA approach that simultaneously performs both features over the same beam by using two sets of switches: (1) single-pole four-throw switches to generate periodic stair-step pulses suitable for efficiently synthesizing a uniform steerable beam over the first positive harmonic, and (2) single-pole single-throw switches to reconfigure the side-lobe level of the previous beam. Performance, small size, cost-effectiveness, and performance invariability with the carrier frequency are features that make this TMA approach a competitive solution for analog beamforming. Accordingly, the structure is an attractive proposal for the design of multibeam transceivers.

description: We highlight how the existence of an ultraviolet completion for interacting Standard-Model type matter puts constraints on the viable microscopic dynamics of asymptotically safe quantum gravity within truncated Renormalization Group flows. A first constraint -- the weak-gravity bound -- is rooted in the destruction of quantum scale-invariance in the matter system by strong quantum-gravity fluctuations. A second constraint arises by linking Planck-scale dynamics to the dynamics at the electroweak scale. Specifically, we delineate how to extract a prediction of the top quark mass from asymptotically safe gravity and stress that a finite top mass could be difficult to accommodate in a significant part of the gravitational coupling space.

description: An individual's social group may be represented by their ego-network, formed by the links between the individual and their acquaintances. Ego-networks present an internal structure of increasingly large nested layers (or circles) of decreasing relationship intensity, whose size exhibits a precise scaling ratio. Starting from the notion of limited social bandwidth, and assuming fixed costs for the links in each layer, we propose a null model built on a grand-canonical ensemble that generates the observed hierarchical social structure. The observed internal structure of ego-networks becomes a natural outcome to expect when we assume the existence of layers demanding different amounts of resources. In the thermodynamic limit, reached when the number of ego-network copies is large, the specific layer degrees follow a Poisson distribution. We also find that, under certain conditions, equispaced layer costs are necessary to obtain a constant group size scaling. Our model presents interesting analogies to a Bose-Einstein gas, that we briefly discuss. Finally, we fit and compare the model with an empirical social network.

description: The recent advances in natural language processing (NLP) are linked to training processes that require vast amounts of corpora. Access to this data is commonly not a trivial process due to resource dispersion and the need to maintain these infrastructures online and up-to-date. New developments in NLP are often compromised due to the scarcity of data or lack of a shared repository that works as an entry point to the community. This is especially true in low and mid-resource languages, such as Portuguese, which lack data and proper resource management infrastructures. In this work, we propose PT-Pump-Up, a set of tools that aim to reduce resource dispersion and improve the accessibility to Portuguese NLP resources. Our proposal is divided into four software components: a) a web platform to list the available resources; b) a client-side Python package to simplify the loading of Portuguese NLP resources; c) an administrative Python package to manage the platform and d) a public GitHub repository to foster future collaboration and contributions. All four components are accessible using: https://linktr.ee/pt_pump_up

description: We propose a new approach to circumvent the sign problem in which the integration path is optimized to control the sign problem. We give a trial function specifying the integration path in the complex plane and tune it to optimize the cost function which represents the seriousness of the sign problem. We call it the path optimization method. In this method, we do not need to solve the gradient flow required in the Lefschetz-thimble method and then the construction of the integration-path contour arrives at the optimization problem where several efficient methods can be applied. In a simple model with a serious sign problem, the path optimization method is demonstrated to work well; the residual sign problem is resolved and precise results can be obtained even in the region where the global sign problem is serious.

description: Dark matter with momentum- or velocity-dependent interactions with nuclei has shown significant promise for explaining the so-called Solar Abundance Problem, a longstanding discrepancy between solar spectroscopy and helioseismology. The best-fit models are all rather light, typically with masses in the range of 3-5 GeV. This is exactly the mass range where dark matter evaporation from the Sun can be important, but to date no detailed calculation of the evaporation of such models has been performed. Here we carry out this calculation, for the first time including arbitrary velocity- and momentum-dependent interactions, thermal effects, and a completely general treatment valid from the optically thin limit all the way through to the optically thick regime. We find that depending on the dark matter mass, interaction strength and type, the mass below which evaporation is relevant can vary from 1 to 4 GeV. This has the effect of weakening some of the better-fitting solutions to the Solar Abundance Problem, but also improving a number of others. As a by-product, we also provide an improved derivation of the capture rate that takes into account thermal and optical depth effects, allowing the standard result to be smoothly matched to the well-known saturation limit.

description: 3D facial animation is often produced by manipulating facial deformation models (or rigs), that are traditionally parameterized by expression controls. A key component that is usually overlooked is expression 'style', as in, how a particular expression is performed. Although it is common to define a semantic basis of expressions that characters can perform, most characters perform each expression in their own style. To date, style is usually entangled with the expression, and it is not possible to transfer the style of one character to another when considering facial animation. We present a new face model, based on a data-driven implicit neural physics model, that can be driven by both expression and style separately. At the core, we present a framework for learning implicit physics-based actuations for multiple subjects simultaneously, trained on a few arbitrary performance capture sequences from a small set of identities. Once trained, our method allows generalized physics-based facial animation for any of the trained identities, extending to unseen performances. Furthermore, it grants control over the animation style, enabling style transfer from one character to another or blending styles of different characters. Lastly, as a physics-based model, it is capable of synthesizing physical effects, such as collision handling, setting our method apart from conventional approaches.

Random Walk Models of Network Formation and Sequential Monte Carlo Methods for Graphs

description: We introduce a class of generative network models that insert edges by connecting the starting and terminal vertices of a random walk on the network graph. Within the taxonomy of statistical network models, this class is distinguished by permitting the location of a new edge to explicitly depend on the structure of the graph, but being nonetheless statistically and computationally tractable. In the limit of infinite walk length, the model converges to an extension of the preferential attachment model---in this sense, it can be motivated alternatively by asking what preferential attachment is an approximation to. Theoretical properties, including the limiting degree sequence, are studied analytically. If the entire history of the graph is observed, parameters can be estimated by maximum likelihood. If only the final graph is available, its history can be imputed using MCMC. We develop a class of sequential Monte Carlo algorithms that are more generally applicable to sequential network models, and may be of interest in their own right. The model parameters can be recovered from a single graph generated by the model. Applications to data clarify the role of the random walk length as a length scale of interactions within the graph.

description: The quantum Liouville equation, which describes the phase space dynamics of a quantum system of fermions, is analyzed from statistical point of view as a particular example of the Kramers-Moyal expansion. Quantum mechanics is extended to the relativistic domain by generalizing the Wigner-Moyal equation. Thus, an expression is derived for the relativistic mass in the Wigner quantum phase space presentation. The diffusion with an imaginary diffusion coefficient is also discussed. An imaginary stochastic process is proposed as the origin of quantum mechanics.

description: The Universal Extra Dimension (UED) paradigm is particularly attractive as it not only includes a natural candidate for the Dark Matter particle but also addresses several issues related to particle physics. Non-observations at the Large Hadron Collider, though, has brought the paradigm into severe tension. However, a particular 5-dimensional UED model emerges from a six-dimensional space-time with nested warping. The $AdS_6$ bulk protects both the Higgs mass as well as the UED scale without invoking unnatural parameter values. The graviton excitations in the sixth direction open up new (co-)annihilation channels for the Dark Matter particle, thereby allowing for phenomenological consistency, otherwise denied to the minimal UED scenario. The model leads to unique signatures in both satellite-based experiments as well as the LHC.

description: Let $\mathcal{A}(R,S)$ denote the class of all matrices of zeros and ones with row sum vector $R$ and column sum vector~$S$. We introduce the notion of an inversion in a $(0,1)$--matrix. This definition extends the standard notion of an inversion of a permutation, in the sense that both notions agree on the class of permutation matrices. We prove that the number of inversions in a $(0,1)$--matrix is monotonic with respect to the secondary Bruhat order of the class $\mathcal{A}(R,S)$. We apply this result in establishing the maximum length of a chain in the Bruhat order of the class $\mathcal{A}(n,2)$ of $(0,1)$--matrices of order $n$ in which every row and every column has a sum of~$2$. We give algorithmic constructions of chains of maximum length in the Bruhat order of $\mathcal{A}(n,2)$.

description: Fish, birds, insects and robots frequently swim or fly in groups. During their 3 dimensional collective motion, these agents do not stop, they avoid collisions by strong short-range repulsion, and achieve group cohesion by weak long-range attraction. In a minimal model that is isotropic, and continuous in both space and time, we demonstrate that (i) adjusting speed to a preferred value, combined with (ii) radial repulsion and an (iii) effective long-range attraction are sufficient for the stable ordering of autonomously moving agents in space. Our results imply that beyond these three rules ordering in space requires no further rules, for example, explicit velocity alignment, anisotropy of the interactions or the frequent reversal of the direction of motion, friction, elastic interactions, sticky surfaces, a viscous medium, or vertical separation that prefers interactions within horizontal layers. Noise and delays are inherent to the communication and decisions of all moving agents. Thus, next we investigate their effects on ordering in the model. First, we find that the amount of noise necessary for preventing the ordering of agents is not sufficient for destroying order. In other words, for realistic noise amplitudes the transition between order and disorder is rapid. Second, we demonstrate that ordering is more sensitive to displacements caused by delayed interactions than to uncorrelated noise (random errors). Third, we find that with changing interaction delays the ordered state disappears at roughly the same rate, whereas it emerges with different rates. In summary, we find that the model discussed here is simple enough to allow a fair understanding of the modeled phenomena, yet sufficiently detailed for the description and management of large flocks with noisy and delayed interactions.

title: An investigation of sample survey methodologies, including the application of remote sensing, for the production of agricultural statistics in Tanzania.
Creators: name: Mussa, Abeidi Simba
Publisher: name: University of Kent
Year: 1992

description: One of the many applications of remote sensing data, acquired by earth-orbitting resource satellites on a regular basis, is the estimation of crop areas in agricultural statistics. The evaluation of crop area statistics for traditional farming in sub-Sahara African developing countries using the rapidly advancing remote sensing data is aptly under consideration. Because of operational problems in the developing countries in acquiring and exploiting images of all areas of interest, an approach has been proposed that combines remote sensing data, Landsat and SPOT, and ground sampling data in a flexible manner depending on materials, equipment available, expertise and experience of personnel involved. Under the prevailing circumstances of rather limited high-tech resources in the region, the visual interpretation of imagery has been used and emphasized. A ratio-type estimator for the mean has been proposed using information on auxiliary variables for improvement at the estimation stage. The exact as well as asymptotic bias and variances of the estimator have been obtained. Comparison on infinite and finite populations with several other ratio-type estimators is done on the properties of bias and efficiency. The simplicity and suitability of the estimators in practical situations were also taken into consideration. The performances of the estimators have been examined using both hypothetical values and the data collected in 1990 in the field work performed during the study period. Attention is turned to various methods of attaining yield rate. A crop-cut method and farmer’s statements are discussed and tests performed on them with the Tanzanian agricultural sample survey data of 1987/88. Finally a production estimate, that could easily be extrapolated over larger area, is obtained from the product of area estimate and yield rate as a result of integrating satellite data with the field ground sampling and farmers’ interview data respectively.

description: We investigate lateral p-n junctions, electrostatically defined in 14 nm-wide HgTe-based quantum wells (QWs) with inverted band structure. The p-n junctions resistances are close to $h/2e^2$, consistent with some previous experiments on 8-10 nm QWs, and the current-voltage characteristics are highly linear, indicating the transport via ballistic helical edge states. Shot noise measurements are performed in order to further verify the underlying transport mechanism. We discuss the role of unknown inelastic relaxation rates in the leads and in the edge channels for the correct interpretation of the noise data. Although the interpretation in favor of the helical edge states seems more consistent, a definite conclusion can not be drawn based on the present experiment. Our approach looks promising for the study of short quasi-ballistic edges in topological insulators (TIs) in suitable geometry.

description: We study the changes of opinions about vaccination together with the evolution of a disease. In our model we consider a multiplex network consisting of two layers. One of the layers corresponds to a social network where people share their opinions and influence others opinions. The social model that rules the dynamic is the M-model, which takes into account two different processes that occurs in a society: persuasion and compromise. This two processes are related through a parameter $r$, $r<1$ describes a moderate and committed society, for $r>1$ the society tends to have extremist opinions, while $r=1$ represents a neutral society. This social network may be of real or virtual contacts. On the other hand, the second layer corresponds to a network of physical contacts where the disease spreading is described by the SIR-Model. In this model the individuals may be in one of the following four states: Susceptible ($S$), Infected($I$), Recovered ($R$) or Vaccinated ($V$). A Susceptible individual can: i) get vaccinated, if his opinion in the other layer is totally in favor of the vaccine, ii) get infected, with probability $β$ if he is in contact with an infected neighbor. Those $I$ individuals recover after a certain period $t_r=6$. Vaccinated individuals have an extremist positive opinion that does not change. We consider that the vaccine has a certain effectiveness $ω$ and as a consequence vaccinated nodes can be infected with probability $β(1 - ω)$ if they are in contact with an infected neighbor. In this case, if the infection process is successful, the new infected individual changes his opinion from extremist positive to totally against the vaccine. We find that depending on the trend in the opinion of the society, which depends on $r$, different behaviors in the spread of the epidemic occurs. An epidemic threshold was found.

description: Discrete exterior calculus (DEC) offers a coordinate-free discretization of exterior calculus especially suited for computations on curved spaces. In this work, we present an extended version of DEC on surface meshes formed by general polygons that bypasses the need for combinatorial subdivision and does not involve any dual mesh. At its core, our approach introduces a new polygonal wedge product that is compatible with the discrete exterior derivative in the sense that it satisfies the Leibniz product rule. Based on the discrete wedge product, we then derive a novel primal-to-primal Hodge star operator. Combining these three `basic operators' we then define new discrete versions of the contraction operator and Lie derivative, codifferential and Laplace operator. We discuss the numerical convergence of each one of these proposed operators and compare them to existing DEC methods. Finally, we show simple applications of our operators on Helmholtz-Hodge decomposition, Laplacian surface fairing, and Lie advection of functions and vector fields on meshes formed by general polygons.

description: An inversion in a matrix of zeros and ones consists of two entries both of which equal $1$, and one of which is located to the top-right of the other. It is known that in the class $\mathcal{A}(R,S)$ of $(0,1)$--matrices with row sum vector $R$ and column sum vector $S$, the number of inversions in a matrix is monotonic with respect to the secondary Bruhat order. Hence any two matrices in the same class $\mathcal{A}(R,S)$ having the same number of inversions, are incomparable in the secondary Bruhat order. We use this fact to construct antichains in the Bruhat order of $\mathcal{A}(n,2)$, the class of all $n\times n$ binary matrices with common row and column sum~$2$.
 A product construction of antichains in the Bruhat order of $\mathcal{A}(R,S)$ is given. This product construction is applied in finding antichains in the Bruhat order of the class $\mathcal{A}(2k,k)$ of square $(0,1)$--matrices of order $2k$ and common row and column sum~$k$.

description: We describe a fully generic implementation of two-body partial decay widths at the full one-loop level in the SARAH and SPheno framework compatible with most supported models. It incorporates fermionic decays to a fermion and a scalar or a gauge boson as well as scalar decays into two fermions, two gauge bosons, two scalars or a scalar and a gauge boson. We present the relevant generic expressions for virtual and real corrections. Whereas wavefunction corrections are determined from on-shell conditions, the parameters of the underlying model are by default renormalised in a DR (or MS) scheme. However, the user can also define model-specific counter-terms. As an example we discuss the renormalisation of the electric charge in the Thomson limit for top-quark decays in the standard model. One-loop induced decays are also supported. The framework additionally allows the addition of mass and mixing corrections induced at higher orders for the involved external states. We explain our procedure to cancel infra-red divergences for such cases, which is achieved through an infra-red counter-term taking into account corrected Goldstone boson vertices. We compare our results for sfermion, gluino and Higgs decays in the minimal supersymmetric standard model (MSSM) against the public codes SFOLD, FVSFOLD and HFOLD and explain observed differences. Radiative induced gluino and neutralino decays are compared against the original implementation in SPheno in the MSSM. We exactly reproduce the results of the code CNNDecays for decays of neutralinos and charginos in R-parity violating models. The new version SARAH 4.11.0 by default includes the calculation of two-body decay widths at the full one-loop level. Current limitations for certain model classes are described.

description: Today's needs for monitoring and control of different devices in organizations require an Internet of Things (IoT) platform that can integrate heterogeneous elements provided by multiple vendors and using different protocols, data formats and communication technologies. This article provides a comprehensive review of all the architectures, technologies, protocols and data formats most commonly used by existing IoT platforms. On this basis, a comparative analysis of the most widely used open source IoT platforms is presented. This exhaustive comparison is based on multiple characteristics that will be essential to select the platform that best suits the needs of each organization.

description: In this paper we show that many projective Anosov representations act convex cocompactly on some properly convex domain in real projective space. In particular, if a non-elementary word hyperbolic group is not commensurable to a non-trivial free product or the fundamental group of a closed hyperbolic surface, then any projective Anosov representation of that group acts convex cocompactly on some properly convex domain in real projective space. We also show that if a projective Anosov representation preserves a properly convex domain, then it acts convex cocompactly on some (possibly different) properly convex domain. We then give three applications. First, we show that Anosov representations into general semisimple Lie groups can be defined in terms of the existence of a convex cocompact action on a properly convex domain in some real projective space (which depends on the semisimple Lie group and parabolic subgroup). Next, we prove a rigidity result involving the Hilbert entropy of a projective Anosov representation. Finally, we prove a rigidity result which shows that the image of the boundary map associated to a projective Anosov representation is rarely a $C^2$ submanifold of projective space. This final rigidity result also applies to Hitchin representations.

description: After decades of progress and effort, obtaining a phase diagram for a strongly-correlated topological system still remains a challenge. Although in principle one could turn to Wilson loops and long-range entanglement, evaluating these non-local observables at many points in phase space can be prohibitively costly. With growing excitement over topological quantum computation comes the need for an efficient approach for obtaining topological phase diagrams. Here we turn to machine learning using quantum loop topography (QLT), a notion we have recently introduced. Specifically, we propose a construction of QLT that is sensitive to quasi-particle statistics. We then use mutual statistics between the spinons and visons to detect a $\mathbb{Z}_{2}$ quantum spin liquid in a multi-parameter phase space. We successfully obtain the quantum phase boundary between the topological and trivial phases using a simple feed-forward neural network. Furthermore, we demonstrate advantages of our approach for the evaluation of phase diagrams relating to speed and storage. Such statistics-based machine learning of topological phases opens new efficient routes to studying topological phase diagrams in strongly correlated systems.

description: Entanglement in quantum mechanics contradicts local realism, and is a manifestation of quantum non-locality. Its presence can be detected through the violation of Bell, or CHSH inequalities. Paradigmatic quantum systems provide examples of both, non-entangled and entangled states. Here we consider a minimal complexity setup consisting of 6 Majorana bound states. We find that any allowed state in the degenerate Majorana space is non-locally entangled. We show how to measure (with available techniques) the CHSH-violating correlations, using either intermediate strength or weak measurement protocols.
