description: Tunnel-coupled pairs of optically active quantum dots—quantum dot molecules (QDMs)—offer the possibility to combine excellent optical properties such as strong light-matter coupling with two-spin singlet–triplet (S-T0) qubits having extended coherence times. The S-T0 basis formed using two spins is inherently protected against electric and magnetic field noise. However, since a single gate voltage is typically used to stabilize the charge occupancy of the dots and control the inter-dot orbital couplings, operation of the S-T0 qubits under optimal conditions remains challenging. Here, an electric field tunable QDM that can be optically charged with one (1h) or two holes (2h) on demand is presented. A four-phase optical and electric field control sequence facilitates the sequential preparation of the 2h charge state and subsequently allows flexible control of the inter-dot coupling. Charges are loaded via optical pumping and electron tunnel ionization. One- and two-hole charging efficiencies of (93.5 ± 0.8)% and (80.5 ± 1.3)% are achieved, respectively. Combining efficient charge state preparation and precise setting of inter-dot coupling allows for the control of few-spin qubits, as would be required for the on-demand generation of 2D photonic cluster states or quantum transduction between microwaves and photons.
Quantum Theory of Cold Dark Matter Halos

Subjects: subject: General Physics (physics.gen-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: A nonrelativistic quantum theory of dark matter particles in a spherical halo is developed by using a new asymmetric equation, which is complementary to the Schrödinger equation. The theory predicts that each dark matter halo has its core and envelope with very distinct physical properties. The core is free of any quantum structure and its dark matter particles are in random motion and frequently collide with each other. However, the envelope has a global quantum structure that contains quantized orbits populated by the particles. Applications of the theory to dark matter halos with given density profiles are described, and physical implications and predictions of the theory are discussed.

description: We present a femtosecond optical pump-probe study of the multiferroic manganite Eu$_{0.75}$Y$_{0.25}$MnO$_3$. The optical response of the material at pump energies of 1.55 and 3.1 eV is dominated by the $d$-$d$ and $p$-$d$ transitions of the Mn$^{3+}$ ions. The relaxation of photoexcited electrons includes the relaxation of the Jahn-Teller distortion and polaron trapping at Mn$^{2+}$ and Mn$^{4+}$ sites. Ultrafast switching of superexchange interactions due to modulated $e_g$ orbital occupancy creates a localized spin excitation, which then decays on a time scale of tens of picoseconds at low temperatures. The localized spin state decay appears as a tremendous increase in the amplitude of the photoinduced reflectance, due to the strong coupling of optical transitions to the spin-spin correlations in the crystalline $a$-$b$ plane.

description: DNA amplification is the process of replication of a specified DNA sequence \emph{in vitro} through time-dependent manipulation of its external environment. A theoretical framework for determination of the optimal dynamic operating conditions of DNA amplification reactions, for any specified amplification objective, is presented based on first-principles biophysical modeling and control theory. Amplification of DNA is formulated as a problem in control theory with optimal solutions that can differ considerably from strategies typically used in practice. Using the Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) as an example, sequence-dependent biophysical models for DNA amplification are cast as control systems, wherein the dynamics of the reaction are controlled by a manipulated input variable. Using these control systems, we demonstrate that there exists an optimal temperature cycling strategy for geometric amplification of any DNA sequence and formulate optimal control problems that can be used to derive the optimal temperature profile. Strategies for the optimal synthesis of the DNA amplification control trajectory are proposed. Analogous methods can be used to formulate control problems for more advanced amplification objectives corresponding to the design of new types of DNA amplification reactions.

In addition to providing an introduction to interferometer physics and optical hardware, the experiment also focuses on precision measurement techniques including servo control, signal modulation, phase-sensitive detection, and different types of signal averaging. After students assemble, align, and characterize the interferometer, they then use it to measure nanoscale motions of a simple harmonic oscillator system, as a substantive example of how laser interferometry can be used as an effective tool in experimental science.
Heavy-traffic analysis of k-limited polling systems

description: In this paper we study a two-queue polling model with zero switch-over times and $k$-limited service (serve at most $k_i$ customers during one visit period to queue $i$, $i=1,2$) in each queue. The arrival processes at the two queues are Poisson, and the service times are exponentially distributed. By increasing the arrival intensities until one of the queues becomes critically loaded, we derive exact heavy-traffic limits for the joint queue-length distribution using a singular-perturbation technique. It turns out that the number of customers in the stable queue has the same distribution as the number of customers in a vacation system with Erlang-$k_2$ distributed vacations. The queue-length distribution of the critically loaded queue, after applying an appropriate scaling, is exponentially distributed. Finally, we show that the two queue-length processes are independent in heavy traffic.
Allowed $β^-$ decay of bare atoms with A$\sim$ 60-80 in stellar environments

description: We have calculated $β^-$ decay rates to the continuum and bound states of some fully ionized atoms in the stellar s-process environment having free electron density and temperature in the range $n_e = 10^{26} $ cm$^{-3} - 10^{27} $ cm$^{-3}$ and $T = 10^8$ K - $5 \times 10^{8}$ K, respectively. The presence of bare atoms in these particular situations has been confirmed by solving Saha ionization equation taking into account the ionization potential depression (IPD). At these temperatures, low lying excited energy levels of parent nuclei may have thermal equilibrium population and those excited levels may also decay via $β^-$ emission. The Nuclear Matrix Element (NME) of all the transitions of the set of 15 nuclei is calculated using nuclear shell-model. These NME are then used to calculate the comparative half-life ($ft_{1/2}$) of the transitions. Calculated terrestrial half-lives of the $β^-$ decays are in good agreement with the experimental results in most of the cases. Decay to bound and continuum states of bare atoms from ground/isomeric levels and excited nuclear levels have been calculated separately. The ratio of bound state to continuum state decay rates as a function of IPD modified $Q$-value reveals that bound state $β^-$ decay rate may compete and even dominate for $Q$-value $<$ 100 keV. The importance of the bound state $β^-$ decay in stellar situations has been shown explicitly. We have calculated total $β^-$ decay rates (bound state plus continuum state) taking into account IPD corrected neutral atom $Q$-value as a function of density and temperature. We have also presented results for the stellar $β^-$ half-lives and compared the ratio of neutral atom to bare atom half-lives for different density and temperature combinations. These results may be useful for s-process nucleosynthesis calculations.

description: We demonstrate an asymmetry between the beneficial effects one can obtain using non-local operations and non-local states to mitigate the detrimental effects of environmental noise in the work extraction from quantum battery models. Specifically, we show that using non-local recovery operations after the noise action can in general increase the amount of work one can recover from the battery even with separable (i.e. non entangled) input states. On the contrary, employing entangled input states with local recovery operations will not generally improve the battery performances.

Exclusive central diffractive production of scalar, pseudoscalar and vector mesons

description: We discuss exclusive central diffractive production of scalar ($f_{0}(980)$, $f_{0}(1370)$, $f_{0}(1500)$), pseudoscalar ($η$, $η'(958)$), and vector ($ρ^{0}$) mesons in proton-proton collisions. The amplitudes are formulated in terms of effective vertices required to respect standard rules of Quantum Field Theory and propagators for the exchanged pomeron and reggeons. Different pomeron-pomeron-meson tensorial (vectorial) coupling structures are possible in general. In most cases two lowest orbital angular momentum - spin couplings are necessary to describe experimental differential distributions. For the $f_{0}(980)$ and $η$ production the reggeon-pomeron, pomeron-reggeon, and reggeon-reggeon exchanges are included in addition, which seems to be necessary at relatively low energies. The theoretical results are compared with the WA102 experimental data, in order to determine the model parameters. For the $ρ^{0}$ production the photon-pomeron and pomeron-photon exchanges are considered. The coupling parameters of tensor pomeron and/or reggeon are fixed from the H1 and ZEUS experimental data of the $γp \to ρ^{0} p$ reaction. We present first predictions of this mechanism for $pp \to pp π^{+} π^{-}$ reaction being studied at COMPASS, RHIC, Tevatron, and LHC. Correlation in azimuthal angle between outgoing protons and distribution in pion rapidities at $\sqrt{s} = 7$TeV are presented. We show that high-energy central production of mesons could provide crucial information on the spin structure of the soft pomeron.

Twisting instabilities in elastic ribbons with inhomogeneous pre-stress: a macroscopic analog of thermodynamic phase transition

Year: 2023

description: We study elastic ribbons subject to large, tensile pre-stress confined to a central region within the cross-section. These ribbons can buckle spontaneously to form helical shapes, featuring regions of alternating chirality (phases) that are separated by so-called perversions (phase boundaries). This instability cannot be described by classical rod theory, which incorporates pre-stress through effective natural curvature and twist; these are both zero due to the mirror symmetry of the pre-stress. Using dimension reduction, we derive a one-dimensional (1D) 'rod-like' model from a plate theory, which accounts for inhomogeneous pre-stress as well as finite rotations. The 1D model successfully captures the qualitative features of torsional buckling under a prescribed end-to-end displacement and rotation, including the co-existence of buckled phases possessing opposite twist, and is in good quantitative agreement with the results of numerical (finite-element) simulations and model experiments on elastomeric samples. Our model system provides a macroscopic analog of phase separation and pressure-volume-temperature state diagrams, as described by the classical thermodynamic theory of phase transitions.

description: We study a queueing network with a single shared server, that serves the queues in a cyclic order according to the gated service discipline. External customers arrive at the queues according to independent Poisson processes. After completing service, a customer either leaves the system or is routed to another queue. This model is very generic and finds many applications in computer systems, communication networks, manufacturing systems and robotics. Special cases of the introduced network include well-known polling models and tandem queues. We derive exact limits of the mean delays under both heavy-traffic and light-traffic conditions. By interpolating between these asymptotic regimes, we develop simple closed-form approximations for the mean delays for arbitrary loads.

The proto-neutron star inner crust in the liquid phase

description: The crust of a neutron star is known to melt at a temperature that increases with increasing matter density, up to about $10^{10}$ K. At such high temperatures and beyond, the crustal ions are put into collective motion and the associated entropy contribution can affect both the thermodynamic properties and the composition of matter. We studied the importance of this effect in different thermodynamic conditions relevant to the inner crust of the proto-neutron star, both at beta equilibrium and in the fixed-proton-fraction regime. To this aim, we solved the hydrodynamic equations for an ion moving in an incompressible, irrotational, and non-viscous fluid, with different boundary conditions, thus leading to different prescriptions for the ion effective mass. We then employed a compressible liquid-drop approach in the one-component plasma approximation, including the renormalisation of the ion mass to account for the influence of the surrounding medium. We show that the cluster size is determined by the competition between the ion centre-of-mass motion and the interface properties, namely the Coulomb, surface, and curvature energies. In particular, including the translational free energy in the minimisation procedure can significantly reduce the optimal number of nucleons in the clusters and lead to an early dissolution of clusters in dense beta-equilibrated matter. On the other hand, we find that the impact of translational motion is reduced in scenarios where the proton fraction is assumed constant and is almost negligible on the inner-crust equation of state. Our results show that the translational degrees of freedom affect the equilibrium composition of beta-equilibrated matter and the density and pressure of the crust-core transition in a non-negligible way, highlighting the importance of its inclusion when modelling the finite-temperature inner crust of the (proto-)neutron star.

description: Financial fraud and corporate scandals represent egregious breaches of trust in the financial ecosystem, undermining market integrity and investor confidence. Financial fraud includes a range of deceptive practices aimed at deceiving stakeholders for personal or organizational gain. These can include accounting manipulation, embezzlement, insider trading, and Ponzi schemes, among others. Corporate scandals are often the results of the disclosure of financial fraud, involving instances of unethical or illegal behavior within companies, and often resulting in significant financial losses, reputational damage, and regulatory scrutiny. Such scandals can arise from executive misconduct, fraudulent financial reporting, inadequate governance structures or lax oversight. These incidents not only affect shareholders and employees but also broader financial stability. Furthermore, they highlight the importance of strong control and regulatory oversight mechanisms to prevent and mitigate such risks. The purpose of this paper is to examine the different types of fraud that companies and their executives resort to, with an emphasis on financial statement fraud, as well as investigating the role that auditors play in fraud prevention and detection, as well as their responsibilities.

description: We consider a spin-s Heisenberg model coupled to two-dimensional quantum gravity. We quantize the model using the Feynman path integral, summing over all possible two-dimensional geometries and spin configurations. We regularize this path integral by starting with the R-matrices defining the spin-s Heisenberg model on a regular 2d Manhattan lattice. 2d quantum gravity is included by defining the R-matrices on random Manhattan lattices and summing over these, in the same way as one sums over 2d geometries using random triangulations in non-critical string theory. We formulate a random matrix model where the partition function reproduces the annealed average of the spin-s Heisenberg model over all random Manhattan lattices. A technique is presented which reduces the random matrix integration in partition function to an integration over their eigenvalues.

description: We have studied the chemical composition of NGC 1806, a massive, intermediate-age globular cluster that shows a double main sequence turnoff. We analyzed a sample of high-resolution spectra (secured with FLAMES at the Very Large Telescope) for 8 giant stars, members of the cluster, finding an average iron content of [Fe/H]=--0.60 +- 0.01 dex and no evidence of intrinsic star-to-star variations in the abundances of light elements (Na, O, Mg, Al). Also, the (m_(F814W); m_(F336W)-m_(F814W)) color-magnitude diagram obtained by combining optical and near-UV Hubble Space Telescope photometry exhibits a narrow red giant branch, thus ruling out intrinsic variations of C and N abundances in the cluster. These findings demonstrate that NGC 1806 does not harbor chemically distinct sub-populations, at variance with what was found in old globular clusters. In turn, this indicates that the double main sequence turnoff phenomenon cannot be explained in the context of the self-enrichment processes usually invoked to explain the chemical anomalies observed in old globulars. Other solutions (i.e., stellar rotation, merging between clusters or collisions with giant molecular clouds) should be envisaged to explain this class of globulars.

description: WTO membership has always been a key component of Afghanistan’s overarching strategic goals. Joining the WTO was seen as a chance for a post-conflict, landlocked, and least-developed economy to create economic stability, enhance regional security and cooperation, reduce poverty, and bring about peace. Afghanistan has been trying to join the multilateral trading system for eleven years. The article analyses the advantages and disadvantages of Afghanistan’s WTO membership while seeking to explain the difficulties that would arise after accession. Afghanistan’s development priorities will be met by the terms and conditions of its WTO membership. Among them include promoting domestic reforms for the country’s transition to a prosperous market economy, luring capital, and job-generating investments. The study employed a doctrinal method of research and was limited to the accession of Afghanistan to the WTO.

description: In this letter, we provide an experimental demonstration of amplitude-dependent dispersion tuning of surface acoustic waves interacting with nonlinear resonators. Leveraging the similarity between the dispersion properties of plate edge waves and surface waves propagating in a semi-infinite medium, we use a setup consisting of a plate with a periodic arrangement of bead-magnet resonators along one of its edges. Nonlinear contact between the ferromagnetic beads and magnets is exploited to realize nonlinear local resonance effects. First, we experimentally demonstrate the nonlinear softening nature and amplitude-dependent dynamics of a single bead-magnet resonator on both rigid and compliant substrates. Next, the dispersion properties of the system in the linear regime are investigated. Finally, we demonstrate how the interplay of nonlinear local resonances with plate edge waves gives rise to amplitude-dependent dispersion properties. The findings will inform the design of more versatile surface acoustic wave devices that can passively adapt to loading conditions.

description: When photons propagate in vacuum they may fluctuate into matter pairs thus allowing the vacuum to be polarised. This linear effect leads to charge screening and renormalisation. When exposed to an intense background field a nonlinear effect can arise when the vacuum is polarised by higher powers of the background. This nonlinearity breaks the superposition principle of classical electrodynamics, allowing for light-by-light scattering of probe and background photons mediated through virtual pairs dressed by the background. Vacuum polarisation is a strong-field effect when all orders of interaction between the virtual pair and the background must be taken into account. In this investigation we show that multiple scattering processes of this type may be observed by utilising high-energy laser pulses with long pulse duration, such as are available at facilities like ELI Beamlines. In combination with appropriate sources of high-energy probe photons, multiple probe-background light-by-light scattering allows for testing the genuine nonlinear regime of strong-field QED. This provides access to the uncharted nonperturbative regime beyond the weak-field limit.

description: Self-adjuvanting vaccines consisting of peptide epitopes conjugated to immune adjuvants are a powerful way of generating antigen-specific immune responses. We previously showed that a Plasmodium-derived peptide conjugated to a rearranged form of α-galactosylceramide (α-GalCer) could stimulate liver-resident memory T (TRM) cells that were effective killers of liver-stage Plasmodium berghei ANKA (Pba)-infected cells. To investigate if similar or even superior TRM responses can be induced by modifying the α-GalCer adjuvant, we created new conjugate vaccine cadidates by attaching an immunogenic Plasmodium-derived peptide antigen to 6″-substituted α-GalCer analogues. Vaccine synthesis involved developing an efficient route to α-galactosylphytosphingosine (α-GalPhs), from which the prototypical iNKT cell agonist, α-GalCer, and its 6″-deoxy-6″-thio and -amino analogues were derived. Attaching a cathepsin B-cleavable linker to the 6″-modified α-GalCer created pro-adjuvants bearing a pendant ketone group available for peptide conjugation. Optimized reaction conditions were developed that allow for the efficient conjugation of peptide antigens to the pro-adjuvants via oxime ligation to create new glycolipid-peptide (GLP) conjugate vaccines. A single dose of the vaccine candidates induced acute NKT and Plasmodium-specific CD8+ T cell responses that generated potent hepatic TRM responses in mice. Our findings demonstrate that attaching antigenic peptides to 6″-modifed α-GalCer generates powerful self-adjuvanting conjugate vaccine candidates that could potentially control hepatotropic infections such as liver-stage malaria.
Theory as an Analytic Tool, Approach, or Orientation?   Talking Past Each Other in SoTL
Creators: Michelle Yeo, Janice Miller-Young, Karen Manarin
Publisher: name: University of Alberta Library
Year: 2021

The three presenters (from engineering, education, and the humanities) have conducted SoTL work together for many years. Yet, in our current writing about SoTL methodologies, we found ourselves talking past each other around key concepts, like theory. As Huber and Morreale (2002) noted, SoTL “draws strength from being situated in a discipline and its particular style. But growth in knowledge also comes at the borders of disciplinary imagination” (p. 2). They introduced the now well-utilized metaphor of a “trading zone” between disciplinary territories where we encounter and learn from each other (p. 19). These conversations illuminate disciplinary assumptions and practices because “it is easier to see the shapes of disciplines in comparison to each other” (Middendorf and Shopkow, 2018, p.7).  However, while there has been much discussion of identity and methodology in the SoTL literature, there has been much less attention to the use of theory.

Some have suggested  SoTL researchers are often atheoretical; others have complained that theory breeds jargon (Kanuka, 2011; Geertsema, 2016). Miller-Young and Yeo (2015) describe how different disciplines and methodological approaches tend to align with certain categories of theoretical frameworks and paradigms of thought. In this presentation, we build upon this work by exploring how we became more aware of our own different ontological and epistemological expectations through cross-disciplinary conversations about SoTL methodologies. By presenting quotes and examples from our analysis of these conversations, we will share our exploration of the differences we encountered.

Grounding our exploration in the SoTL literature, we will share our own conversations around what theory means to each of us, and how we have come to understand each other. Disciplines not only train ways of thinking, but ways of being. This presentation intends to invite an inclusive conversation with audience members about “slippery theory” in their own SoTL work. It will have three parts: we’ll ask participants about their own understanding of theory in SoTL, we’ll share our own experiences with reference to the literature, and finally take time for discussion.

Density of states of tight-binding models in the hyperbolic plane

description: We study the energy spectrum of tight-binding Hamiltonian for regular hyperbolic tilings. More specifically, we compute the density of states using the continued-fraction expansion of the Green function on finite-size systems with more than $10^9$ sites and open boundary conditions. The coefficients of this expansion are found to quickly converge so that the thermodynamical limit can be inferred quite accurately. This density of states is in stark contrast with the prediction stemming from the recently proposed hyperbolic band theory. Thus, we conclude that the fraction of the energy spectrum described by the hyperbolic Bloch-like wave eigenfunctions vanishes in the thermodynamical limit.

description: We derive the fermion loop formulation of N=4 supersymmetric SU(N) Yang-Mills quantum mechanics on the lattice. The loop formulation naturally separates the contributions to the partition function into its bosonic and fermionic parts with fixed fermion number and provides a way to control potential fermion sign problems arising in numerical simulations of the theory. Furthermore, we present a reduced fermion matrix determinant which allows the projection into the canonical sectors of the theory and hence constitutes an alternative approach to simulate the theory on the lattice.

Momentum-dependent local ansatz approach to correlated electrons

description: The wavefunction method provides us with a useful tool to describe electron correlations in solids at the ground state. In this paper we review the recent development of the momentum-dependent local ansatz wavefunction (MLA). It is constructed by taking into account two-particle excited states projected onto the local orbitals, and the momentum-dependent amplitudes of these states are chosen as variational parameters. The MLA describes accurately correlated electron states from the weak to the intermediate Coulomb interaction regime in infinite dimensions, and works well even in the strongly correlated region by introducing a new starting wavefunction called the hybrid (HB) wavefunction. The MLA-HB is therefore shown to overcome the limitation of the original local ansatz (LA) wavefunction as well as the Gutzwiller wavefunction. In particular, the calculated quasiparticle weight vs Coulomb interaction curve is shown to be close to that obtained by the numerical renormalization group approach. It is also shown that the MLA is applicable to the first-principles Hamiltonian.

description: We consider a point particle coupled to 2+1 gravity, with de Sitter gauge group SO(3,1). We observe that there are two contraction limits of the gauge group: one resulting in the Poincare group, and the second with the gauge group having the form AN(2) \ltimes \an(2)^*. The former case was thoroughly discussed in the literature, while the latter leads to the deformed particle action with de Sitter momentum space, like in the case of kappa-Poincare particle. However, the construction forces the mass shell constraint to have the form p_0^2 = m^2, so that the effective particle action describes the deformed Carroll particle.

description: Energy harvesting for wireless communication networks is a new paradigm that allows terminals to recharge their batteries from external energy sources in the surrounding environment. A promising energy harvesting technology is wireless power transfer where terminals harvest energy from electromagnetic radiation. Thereby, the energy may be harvested opportunistically from ambient electromagnetic sources or from sources that intentionally transmit electromagnetic energy for energy harvesting purposes. A particularly interesting and challenging scenario arises when sources perform simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT), as strong signals not only increase power transfer but also interference. This paper provides an overview of SWIPT systems with a particular focus on the hardware realization of rectenna circuits and practical techniques that achieve SWIPT in the domains of time, power, antennas, and space. The paper also discusses the benefits of a potential integration of SWIPT technologies in modern communication networks in the context of resource allocation and cooperative cognitive radio networks.

description: Open quantum systems that interact with a Markovian environment can be described by a Lindblad master equation. The generator of time-translation is given by a Liouvillian superoperator $\mathcal{L}$ acting on the density matrix of the system. As the Fock space for a single bosonic mode is already infinite-dimensional, the diagonalization of the Liouvillian has to be done on the creation- and annihilation-superoperators, a process called `third quantization'. We propose a method to solve the Liouvillian for quadratic systems using a single symplectic transformation. We show that the non-Hermitian effective Hamiltonian of the system, next to incorporating the dynamics of the system, is a tool to analyze its symmetries. As an example, we use the effective Hamiltonian to formulate a $\mathcal{PT}$-`symmetry' of an open system. We describe how the inclusion of source terms allows us to obtain the cumulant generating function for observables such as the photon current.
