description: We investigate the compression of quantum information with respect to a given set $\mathcal{M}$ of high-dimensional measurements. This leads to a notion of simulability, where we demand that the statistics obtained from $\mathcal{M}$ and an arbitrary quantum state $ρ$ are recovered exactly by first compressing $ρ$ into a lower dimensional space, followed by some quantum measurements. A full quantum compression is possible, i.e., leaving only classical information, if and only if the set $\mathcal{M}$ is jointly measurable. Our notion of simulability can thus be seen as a quantification of measurement incompatibility in terms of dimension. After defining these concepts, we provide an illustrative examples involving mutually unbiased basis, and develop a method based on semi-definite programming for constructing simulation models. In turn we analytically construct optimal simulation models for all projective measurements subjected to white noise or losses. Finally, we discuss how our approach connects with other concepts introduced in the context of quantum channels and quantum correlations.

description: We revisit large field inflation models with modulations in light of the recent discovery of the primordial B-mode polarization by the BICEP2 experiment, which, when combined with the Planck + WP + highL data, gives a strong hint for additional suppression of the CMB temperature fluctuations at small scales. Such a suppression can be explained by a running spectral index. In fact, it was pointed out by two of the present authors (TK and FT) that the existence of both tensor mode perturbations and a sizable running of the spectral index is a natural outcome of large inflation models with modulations. We find that this holds also in the recently proposed multi-natural inflation, in which the inflaton potential consists of multiple sinusoidal functions and therefore the modulations are a built-in feature.

description: In order to offer a customized script tool and inspire professional scriptwriters, we present VScript. It is a controllable pipeline that generates complete scripts, including dialogues and scene descriptions, as well as presents visually using video retrieval. With an interactive interface, our system allows users to select genres and input starting words that control the theme and development of the generated script. We adopt a hierarchical structure, which first generates the plot, then the script and its visual presentation. A novel approach is also introduced to plot-guided dialogue generation by treating it as an inverse dialogue summarization. The experiment results show that our approach outperforms the baselines on both automatic and human evaluations, especially in genre control.

description: In this paper we explore how to describe a bulk moving particle in the dual conformal field theories (CFTs). One aspect of this problem is to construct the dual state of the moving particle. On the other hand one should find the corresponding operators associated with the particle. The dynamics of the particle, i.e., the geodesic equation, can be formulated as a Hamiltonian system with canonical variables. The achievements of our paper are to construct the dual CFT states and the operators corresponding to the canonical variables. The expectation values of the operators give the expected solutions of the geodesic line, and the quantum commutators reduce to the classical Poisson brackets to leading order in the bulk gravitational coupling. Our work provides a framework to understand the geodesic equation, that is gravitational attraction, in the dual CFTs.

We derive expressions for the DC voltage generation based on the drift-diffusion spin model and quantum mechanical boundary condition at the interface that reveal a spin torque ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR). We predict that ST-FMR experiments will reveal valuable information on the current-induced magnetization dynamics of magnetic insulators and AC spin Hall effect.

description: High-performance quantum transducers, which can faithfully convert quantum information between disparate physical carriers, are essential elements in quantum science and technology. To assess their ability to coherently transfer quantum information, quantum transducers are typically characterized by different figures of merit including conversion efficiency, bandwidth, and added noise. Here we utilize the concept of quantum capacity, the highest achievable qubit communication rate through a channel, to quantify the performance of a transducer. By evaluating the continuous-time quantum capacity across the conversion band, quantum capacity can serve as a single metric that unifies various desirable criteria of a transducer -- high efficiency, large bandwidth, and low noise. Moreover, using the quantum capacities of bosonic pure-loss channels as benchmarks, we investigate the optimal designs of generic quantum transduction schemes implemented by transmitting external signals through a coupled bosonic chain. Under the physical constraint of a bounded maximal coupling rate $g_{\rm max}$, the highest continuous-time quantum capacity $Q^{\rm max} \approx 31.4 g_{\rm max}$ is achieved by transducers with a maximally flat conversion frequency response, analogous to Butterworth electric filters. We further extend our method to include thermal noise by considering upper and lower bounds on the quantum capacities of transducers and characterize the performance of maximally flat transducers under the effect of thermal loss.

Bohmian trajectories for the half-line barrier

description: Bohmian trajectories are considered for a particle that is free (i.e. the potential energy is zero), except for a half-line barrier. On the barrier, both Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions are considered. The half-line barrier yields one of the simplest cases of diffraction. Using the exact time-dependent propagator found by Schulman, the trajectories are computed numerically for different initial Gaussian wave packets. In particular, it is found that different boundary conditions may lead to qualitatively different sets of trajectories. In the Dirichlet case, the particles tend to be more strongly repelled. The case of an incoming plane wave is also considered. The corresponding Bohmian trajectories are compared with the trajectories of an oil drop hopping on the surface of a vibrating bath.

description: The spin-orbit interaction in heavy hole gas formed at $p$-doped semiconductor heterojunctions and electron gas at {\mbox SrTiO}${}_3$ surfaces is cubic in momentum. Here we report magnetotransport properties of k-cubic Rashba spin-orbit coupled two-dimensional fermionic systems. We study longitudinal (Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations) and Hall component of the resistivity tensor analytically as well as numerically. The longitudinal resistivity shows beating pattern due to different SdH oscillation frequencies $ f_{\pm} $ for spin-up and spin-down fermions. We propose empirical forms of $ f_{\pm} $ as exact expressions are not available, which are being used to find location of the beating nodes. The beating nodes and the number of oscillations between any two successive nodes obtained from exact numerical results are in excellent agreement with those calculated from the proposed empirical form. In the Hall resistivity, an additional Hall plateau appears in between two conventional ones as spin-orbit coupling constant increases. The width of this additional plateau increases with spin-orbit coupling constant.

description: Biophysical modelling of the diffusion MRI signal provides estimates of specific microstructural tissue properties. Although nonlinear optimization such as non-linear least squares (NLLS) is the most widespread method for model estimation, it suffers from local minima and high computational cost. Deep Learning approaches are steadily replacing NL fitting, but come with the limitation that the model needs to be retrained for each acquisition protocol and noise level. The White Matter Tract Integrity (WMTI)-Watson model was proposed as an implementation of the Standard Model of diffusion in white matter that estimates model parameters from the diffusion and kurtosis tensors (DKI). Here we proposed a deep learning approach based on the encoder-decoder recurrent neural network (RNN) to increase the robustness and accelerate the parameter estimation of WMTI-Watson. We use an embedding approach to render the model insensitive to potential differences in distributions between training data and experimental data. This RNN-based solver thus has the advantage of being highly efficient in computation and more readily translatable to other datasets, irrespective of acquisition protocol and underlying parameter distributions as long as DKI was pre-computed from the data. In this study, we evaluated the performance of NLLS, the RNN-based method and a multilayer perceptron (MLP) on synthetic and in vivo datasets of rat and human brain. We showed that the proposed RNN-based fitting approach had the advantage of highly reduced computation time over NLLS (from hours to seconds), with similar accuracy and precision but improved robustness, and superior translatability to new datasets over MLP.

description: I consider how cell shape and environmental geometry affect the rate of nutrient capture and the consequent maximum growth rate of a cell, focusing on rod-like species like \textit{E.\ coli}. Simple modeling immediately implies that it is the elongated profiles of such cells that allows for them to grow -- as observed -- at exponential rates in nutrient-rich media. Growth is strongly suppressed when nutrient capture is diffusion-limited: In three dimensions, the length is bounded by $\log L \lesssim t^{1/2}$, and in lower dimensions growth is algebraic. Similar bounds are easily obtained for other cell geometries, groups of cells, \textit{etc}. Fits of experimental growth curves to such bounds can be used to estimate various quantities of interest, including generalized metabolic rates.

description: We consider brane gravity as described by the Regge-Teitelboim geometric model, in any codimension. In brane gravity our spacetime is modeled as the time-like world volume spanned by a space-like brane in its evolution, seen as a manifold embedded in an ambient background Minkowski spacetime of higher dimension. Although the equations of motion of the model are well known, apparently their linearization has not been considered before. Using a direct approach, we linearize the equations of motion about a solution, obtaining the Jacobi equations of the Regge- Teitelboim model. They take a formidable aspect. Some of their features are commented upon. By identifying the Jacobi equations, we derive an explicit expression for the Morse index of the model. To be concrete, we apply the Jacobi equations to the study of the stability of a four-dimensional Schwarzschild spacetime embedded in a six-dimensional Minkowski spacetime. We find that it is unstable under small linear deformations.

description: Rheological characterization of complex fluids subjected to cyclic shear-rate sweep often exhibits hysteresis. Since both viscoelastic and thixotropic materials show hysteresis loops, it is important to understand distinguishing features (if any) in the same shown by either. Lately, there has been substantial work that attempts to relate the area enclosed by the hysteresis loop with the manner in which shear rate is varied in the cycle, in order to infer thixotropic parameters of a material. In this work, we use the nonlinear Giesekus model to study its response to the application of cyclic shear-rate sweep. We find that this model produces each type of ualitatively similar hysteresis loop that has hitherto been ascribed to thixotropic materials. We also show that the area of the hysteresis loop for a viscoelastic material as a function of sweep rate shows bell-shaped/bi-modal curves as has been observed for thixotropic materials. This study illustrates that caution needs to be exercised while attributing hysteresis loops and associated features observed in a material exclusively to thixotropy. Another feature related to the hysteresis loop is the occurrence of shear banding instability. We find that viscoelastic hysteresis may not have any connection to shear banding instability.

description: Motivated by the LHCb's recent confirmation of $Z_1(4475)$ as the $J^P=1^+$ resonance, we investigate various exotic interpretations of $Z_1(4475)$, which may be an axial vector tetraquark state, the P-wave excitation of the S-wave $D_1 {\bar D}^\ast$ or $D_2 {\bar D}^\ast$ molecule, the S-wave molecule composed of a $D$ or $D^*$ meson and a D-wave vector $D$ meson, or the cousin molecular state of $Z_c(3900)$ and $Z_c(4020)$ composed of a $D$ or $D^*$ meson and their radial excitations. With the help of the heavy quark symmetry, we predict the typical radiative and hidden-charm and open-charm strong decay patterns of $Z_1(4475)$, which are crucial to further identify the molecular state assignment of $Z_1(4475)$.

description: We study a quantum quench in the Bose-Hubbard model where the tunneling rate $J$ is suddenly switched from zero to a finite value in the Mott regime. In order to solve the many-body quantum dynamics far from equlibrium, we consider the reduced density matrices for a finite number (one, two, three, etc.) of lattice sites and split them up into on-site density operators, i.e., the mean field, plus two-point and three-point correlations etc. Neglecting three-point and higher correlations, we are able to numerically simulate the time-evolution of the few-site density matrices and the two-point quantum correlations (e.g., their effective light-cone structure) for a comparably large number ${\cal O}(10^3)$ of lattice sites.

A fireball on the 1st April 2021 was observed over Western Australia by the Desert Fireball Network, for which a fall area was calculated for the predicted surviving mass. A search team arrived on site and surveyed 5.1 km2 area over a 4-day period. A convolutional neural network, trained on previously-recovered meteorites with fusion crusts, processed the images on our field computer after each flight. meteorite candidates identified by the algorithm were sorted by team members using two user interfaces to eliminate false positives. Surviving candidates were revisited with a smaller drone, and imaged in higher resolution, before being eliminated or finally being visited in-person. The 70 g meteorite was recovered within 50 m of the calculated fall line using, demonstrating the effectiveness of this methodology which will facilitate the efficient collection of many more observed meteorite falls.

description: We propose to study the mass spectrum of the heavy-light mesons to probe the structure of the spin-isospin correlation in the nuclear medium. We point out that the spin-isospin correlation in the nuclear medium generates a mixing among the heavy-light mesons carrying different spins and isospins such as $D^+$, $D^0$, $D^{\ast +}$, and $D^{\ast 0}$ mesons. We use two types of correlations motivated by the skyrmion crystal and the chiral density wave as typical examples to obtain the mass splitting caused by the mixing. Our result shows that the structure of the mixing reflects the pattern of the correlation, i.e., the remaining symmetry. Furthermore, the magnitude of the mass modification provides information of the strength of the correlation.

description: The rapid urbanisation and technological advancements have been endangering the human environment and exploiting natural resources. The Indian Government has provided some constitutional provisions and formulated various acts for the protection of natural resources and conservation of environment. However, partial implementation, limited monitoring, and violation of rules and regulations are major concern. Human interventions are not only deteriorating the environment but also depleting the natural resources. The conservation and preservation of natural resources are often ignored in the name of tourism and urban development. Lack of understanding about human-environment interaction within the ecosystems and poor resource management are posing serious threat to environmental health and ecosystem. Furthermore, the most complex planning problems faced by planners are rooted in the mismatch between land-use and environment at local and regional level. Many of the natural calamities are the outcomes of development against the nature. Therefore, there is a need to take legal proceeding against the competent authority responsible for degradation of environment as per Indian Penal Code, 1860.

description: Starting with a set of conditions for bipartite separability of arbitrary quantum states in any dimension and expressed in terms of arbitrary operators whose commutator is a $c$-number, we derive a hierarchy of conditions for tripartite separability of continuous-variable three-mode quantum states. These conditions have the form of inequalities for higher-order moments of linear combinations of the mode operators. They enable one to distinguish between all possible kinds of tripartite separability, while the strongest violation of these inequalities is a sufficient condition for genuine tripartite entanglement. We construct Gaussian states for which the violation of our conditions grows exponentially with the order of the moments of the mode operators. By going beyond second moments, our conditions are expected to be useful as well for the detection of tripartite entanglement of non-Gaussian states.

description: We study basic properties of scalar hadronic resonances within the so-called extended Linear Sigma Model (eLSM), which is an effective model of QCD based on chiral symmetry and dilatation invariance. In particular, we focus on the mass and decay width of the scalar isovector state $a_{0}(1450)$ and perform a numerical study of the propagator pole(s) on the unphysical Riemann sheets. In this work, this meson is understood as a seed state explicitly included in the eLSM. Our results show that the inclusion of hadronic loops does not modify much the previously obtained tree-level results. Moreover the $a_{0}(980)$ cannot be found as a propagator pole generated by hadronic loop contributions.

description: Understanding effects driven by rotation in the solar convection zone is essential for many problems related to solar activity, such as the formation of differential rotation, meridional circulation, and others. We analyze realistic 3D radiative hydrodynamics simulations of solar subsurface dynamics in the presence of rotation in a local domain 80 Mm wide and 25 Mm deep, located at 30 degrees latitude. The simulation results reveal the development of a shallow 10-Mm deep substructure of the Near-Surface Shear Layer (NSSL), characterized by a strong radial rotational gradient and self-organized meridional flows. This shallow layer ("leptocline") is located in the hydrogen ionization zone associated with enhanced anisotropic overshooting-type flows into a less unstable layer between the H and HeII ionization zones. We discuss current observational evidence of the presence of the leptocline and show that the radial variations of the differential rotation and meridional flow profiles obtained from the simulations in this layer qualitatively agree with helioseismic observations.

For the simple case containing only dry friction, a phase transition phenomenon in the spectrum is found which relates to the position of the exit point, and which affects the tail of the FPT distribution. For the model containing as well a driving force and viscous friction the impact of the corresponding stick-slip transition and of the transition to ballistic exit is evaluated quantitatively. The proposed model is one of the very few cases where FPT properties are accessible by analytical means.

description: BeeGOns! Electronic phase in Eagle sources
Abstract: The widespread deployment of sensors interconnected by wireless links, together with the management and exploitation of the data collected have given rise to the concept of Internet of Things (IoT). However, despite the large number of wireless sensor networks already available in the market, there are still many issues to be addressed on the development and deployment of wireless array of sensor nodes capable of responding to the demand and service requirements of Smart City applications. In this paper, we undertake the design and development of a wireless sensor node following the Fog Computing paradigm. Our design is based on the integration of various off-the-shelf sensors smartly packaged into an air-flow module and the use of low-power communications technologies. Our results include a comparative energy consumption study based on two different communication technologies.

Cosmology of Theories beyond the SM
Effective Field Theories

description: Abstract: Gravitational interferometers and cosmological observations of the cosmic microwave background offer us the prospect to probe the laws of gravity in the primordial universe. To study and interpret these datasets we need to know the possible graviton non-Gaussianities. To this end, we derive the most general tree-level three-point functions (bispectra) for a massless graviton to all orders in derivatives, assuming scale invariance. Instead of working with explicit Lagrangians, we take a bootstrap approach and obtain our results using the recently derived constraints from unitarity, locality and the choice of vacuum. Since we make no assumptions about de Sitter boosts, our results capture the phenomenology of large classes of models such as the effective field theory of inflation and solid inflation. We present formulae for the infinite number of parity-even bispectra. Remarkably, for parity-odd bispectra, we show that unitarity allows for only a handful of possible shapes: three for graviton-graviton-graviton, three for scalar-graviton-graviton and one for scalar-scalar-graviton, which we bootstrap explicitly. These parity-odd non-Gaussianities can be large, for example in solid inflation, and therefore constitute a concrete and well-motivated target for future observations.
Critical behavior of the specific heat in Ti-Si amorphous alloys at the metal-insulator transition

description: In this paper, we report the measurements of specific heat of an amorphous $Ti_{9.5}Si_{90.5}$ alloy located very close to the critical point of the metal-insulator transition. In the presence of a magnetic field, the specific heat is dominated by the Schottky anomaly caused by magnetic moments associated with the dangling bonds in the matrix of amorphous Si. Subtraction of this contribution exposes the behavior of the electronic specific heat coefficient $γ$. The coefficient is temperature-independent above 2 K and is, in order of magnitude, close to the value expected in the absence of electron-electron interactions. In the temperature range 0.4-1.5 K, the coefficient $γ$ shows an anomalous downturn, which can be approximated by the dependence $γ\left(T\right)=γ_0ln{(T/T_0)}$, with $T_0\approx0.2$ K . In a companion paper, we found that the Hall coefficient in Ti-Si alloys is affected by the electron-electron interaction up to much higher temperature of 150 K and also varies critically across the metal-insulator transition. We compare our results with theoretical predictions for three models, which can potentially explain the anomalous behavior of the specific heat: generalized non-linear $σ$ model, Coulomb glass, and many-body localization.

description: We revisit the Haake-Lewenstein-Wilkens (HLW) approach to Edwards-Anderson (EA) model of Ising spin glass [Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 2606 (1985)]. This approach consists in evaluation and analysis of the probability distribution of configurations of two replicas of the system, averaged over quenched disorder. This probability distribution generates squares of thermal copies of spin variables from the two copies of the systems, averaged over disorder, that is the terms that enter the standard definition of the original EA order parameter, qEA. We use saddle point/steepest descent method to calculate the average of the Gaussian disorder in higher dimensions. This approximate result suggest that qEA >0 at 0

D-Branes
Brane Dynamics in Gauge Theories

description: Abstract: We will investigate a system of M2-M5 branes as a black M2-M5 bound state. The behavior of this system will be investigated at short distances. At such scales, we will have to incorporate quantum gravitational corrections to the supergravity solutions. We will study the non-equilibrium quantum thermodynamics of this black M2-M5 bound state. The quantum work for this solution will be obtained using the Jarzynski equality. We will also study the corrections to the thermodynamic stability of this system from quantum gravitational corrections. We will use the concept of a novel quantum mass to analyze the quantum gravitational corrections to the information geometry of this system. This will be done using effective quantum metrics for this system.

description: In this paper we consider soliton and breather gases for one dimensional integrable focusing Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation (fNLS). We derive average densities and fluxes for such gases by studying the thermodynamic limit of the fNLS finite gap solutions. Thermodynamic limits of quasimomentum, quasienergy and their connections with the corresponding $g$-functions were also established. We then introduce the notion of periodic fNLS gases and calculate for them the average densities, fluxes and thermodynamic limits of meromorphic differentials. Certain accuracy estimates of the obtained results are also included. Our results constitute another step towards the mathematical foundation for the spectral theory of fNLS soliton and breather gases that appeared in work of G. El and A. Tovbis, Phys. Rev. E, 2020.
