description: Randomized encoding is a powerful cryptographic primitive with various applications such as secure multiparty computation, verifiable computation, parallel cryptography, and complexity lower-bounds. Intuitively, randomized encoding $\hat{f}$ of a function $f$ is another function such that $f(x)$ can be recovered from $\hat{f}(x)$, and nothing except for $f(x)$ is leaked from $\hat{f}(x)$. Its quantum version, quantum randomized encoding, has been introduced recently [Brakerski and Yuen, arXiv:2006.01085]. Intuitively, quantum randomized encoding $\hat{F}$ of a quantum operation $F$ is another quantum operation such that, for any quantum state $ρ$, $F(ρ)$ can be recovered from $\hat{F}(ρ)$, and nothing except for $F(ρ)$ is leaked from $\hat{F}(ρ)$. In this paper, we show that if quantum randomized encoding of BB84 state generations is possible with an encoding operation $E$, then a two-round verification of quantum computing is possible with a classical verifier who can additionally do the operation $E$. One of the most important goals in the field of the verification of quantum computing is to construct a verification protocol with a verifier as classical as possible. This result therefore demonstrates a potential application of quantum randomized encoding to the verification of quantum computing: if we can find a good quantum randomized encoding (in terms of the encoding complexity), then we can construct a good verification protocol of quantum computing. We, however, also show that too good quantum randomized encoding is impossible: if quantum randomized encoding with a classical encoding operation is possible, then the no-cloning is violated. We finally consider a natural modification of blind quantum computing protocols in such a way that the server gets the output like quantum randomized encoding. We show that the modified protocol is not secure.

Particle image velocimetry around a wall-mounted hemisphere in supersonic flow
Creators: name: Rivero, Mario
Publisher: name: No Publisher Supplied
Year: 2020

description: The flow surrounding a wall mounted hemisphere in supersonic flow at Mach 3.4 was investigated experimentally using stereoscopic particle image velocimetry in the Rutgers University Emil Buhler supersonic wind tunnel. The aim of this investigation was to quantify the basic flow structures associated with a three-dimensional shock boundary layer interaction caused by a hemispherical disturbance. The flow velocity upstream and downstream of a 38 mm radius hemisphere was measured at the spanwise centerline. The flow velocity upstream of a 25 mm radius hemisphere was measured at three spanwise locations: centerline, 1.5 mm off center, and 3.0 mm off center. The velocity fields indicate a significant spanwise velocity component in the hemisphere wake in the separated shear layer. From the velocity fields, turbulent kinetic energy and Reynolds stresses were derived. These quantities indicate a significantly turbulent flow in the wake in the separated shear layer and show evidence of three-dimensional flow structures both upstream and downstream of the hemisphere. Velocity field measurements upstream of the separation shock wave were used to calculate an estimate for the undisturbed turbulent boundary layer on the ceiling of the Rutgers University Emil Buhler supersonic wind tunnel. Ten streamwise locations were sampled across two spanwise planes and the final boundary layer thickness estimate was δ_99=16.52 mm ± 1.26 mm.
Gender and information technologies : exploring performing bodies
Creators: name: Quenneville, Carmen
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This paper argues that since media or technologies are extensions or abstractions of ourselves, the technologies that we performatively produce simultaneously function to (re)produce us. Technologies are highly social spaces which have the performative power to (re)produce the very 'materiality' of that thing we call 'reality.' The performative powers of technologies manifest as the powerfully (re)productive meaningmaking paradigms and regulatory controls in operation in a given culture. After considering the predominant paradigms performed through typographic and computing technologies, this paper investigates 'gender' as a performative site of social interface (re)produced in relation to these predominating technological paradigms. This paper further argues that in the context of the cyborg, 'gender' is exposed to be a map with no territory: in a world increasingly exposed as simulation, the material reality of 'gender' is power's effect. Finally, this paper considers the theatre in relation to typographic and computing paradigms, arguing that 'play' and the imagination, in world that is all representation, are crucial sites of social practice. Indeed, 'performativity' provides a means for understanding the agency, subjectivity, materiality, and politics of construction (re)produced through this, our simulated world.

description: We give a protocol for ghost imaging in a way that is always counterfactual - while imaging an object, no light interacts with that object. This extends the idea of counterfactuality beyond communication, showing how this interesting phenomenon can be leveraged for metrology. Given, in the infinite limit, no photons ever go to the imaged object, it presents a method of imaging even the most light-sensitive of objects without damaging them. Even when not in the infinite limit, it still provides a many-fold improvement in visibility and signal-to-noise ratio over previous protocols, with over an order of magnitude reduction in absorbed intensity.

description: Federal policy-makers increasingly emphasize the Federal Crop Insurance Program as the primary federal risk management program for farmers. Farm leaders need to understand the underlying mechanics of insurance products if they are to effectively argue their interests and contribute constructively to future agricultural policy dialogue. Further they need to understand the unique circumstances created by the fact that the Federal Crop Insurance program functions as a public-private partnership between the U.S. government and private insurance companies. This manuscript describes both the fundamental features of insurance products and the political economy of the federal crop insurance program.

description: We study the scaling properties of the solid-on-solid front of the infinite cluster in two-dimensional gradient percolation. We show that such an object is self affine with a Hurst exponent equal to 2/3 up to a cutoff-length proportional to the gradient to the power (-4/7). Beyond this length scale, the front position has the character of uncorrelated noise. Importantly, the self-affine behavior is robust even after removing local jumps of the front. The previously observed multi affinity, is due to the dominance of overhangs at small distances in the structure function. This is a crossover effect.

description: We investigate several phenomena related to FCNCs in the $\text{3-3-1-1}$ model. The sources of FCNCs at the tree-level from both the gauge and Higgs sectors are clarified. Experiments on the oscillation of mesons most stringently constrain the tree-level FCNCs. The lower bound on the new physics scale is imposed more tightly than in the previous, $\text{M}_{\text{new}}>12 $ \text{TeV}. Under this bound, the tree-level FCNCs make a negligible contribution to the $\text{Br}(B_s \rightarrow μ^+ μ^-)$, $\text{Br}(B \rightarrow K^{*} μ^+ μ^-)$ and $\text{Br}(B^{+}\rightarrow K^{+}μ^{+}μ^{-})$. The branching ratio of radiative decay $b \rightarrow s γ$ is enhanced by the ratio $\frac{v}{u}$ via diagrams with the charged Higgs mediation. In contrast, the charged currents of new gauge bosons significantly contribute to the decay process $μ\rightarrow e γ$.

4d F(4) gauged supergravity and black holes of class $\mathcal{F}$

description: We perform a consistent reduction of 6d matter-coupled F(4) supergravity on a compact Riemann surface $Σ_\mathfrak{g}$ of genus $\mathfrak{g}$, at the level of the bosonic action. The result is an $\mathcal{N}=2$ gauged supergravity coupled to two vector multiplets and a single hypermultiplet. The four-dimensional model is holographically dual to the 3d superconformal field theories of class $\mathcal{F}$, describing different brane systems in massive type IIA and IIB wrapped on $Σ_\mathfrak{g}$. The naive reduction leads to a non-standard 4d mixed duality frame with both electric and magnetic gauge fields, as well as a massive tensor, that can be only described in the embedding tensor formalism. Upon a chain of electromagnetic dualities, we are able to determine the scalar manifolds and electric gaugings that uniquely specify the model in the standard supergravity frame. We then use the result to construct the first examples of static dyonic black holes in AdS$_6$ and perform a microscopic counting of their entropy via the 5d topologically twisted index. Finally, we show the existence of further subtruncations to the massless sector of the 4d theory, such as the Fayet-Iliopoulos gauged $T^3$ model and minimal gauged supergravity. We are in turn able to find new asymptotically AdS$_4$ solutions, providing predictions for the squashed $S^3$ partition functions and the superconformal and refined twisted indices of class $\mathcal{F}$ theories.

Nonfactorizable $B\toχ_{c0}K$ decay and QCD factorization

description: We study the unexpectedly large rate for the factorization-forbidden decay $B\to χ_{c0}K$ within the QCD factorization approach. We use a non-zero gluon mass to regularize the infrared divergences in vertex corrections. The end-point singularities arising from spectator corrections are regularized and carefully estimated by the off-shellness of quarks. We find that the contributions arising from the vertex and leading-twist spectator corrections are numerically small, and the twist-3 spectator contribution with chiral enhancement and linear end-point singularity becomes dominant. With reasonable choices for the parameters, the branching ratio for $B\toχ_{c0}K$ decay is estimated to be in the range $(2-4)\times 10^{-4}$, which is compatible with the Belle and BaBar data.
description: Appendix added; it is emphasized that in the dominant twist-3 spectator corrections the end-point singularity contributions may be estimated by the off-shellness of the charm quark (by the binding energy in charmonium) and the gluon (by the transverse momentum of the light quark in the kaon)

description: Reading out Majorana bound states (MBSs) is essential both to verify their non-Abelian property and to realize topological quantum computation. Here, we construct a protocol to measure the parity of two MBSs in a Majorana island coupled to double quantum dot (DQD). The parity information is mapped to the charge state of the DQD through Landau-Zener transition. The operation needed is sweeping the bias of the DQD, which is followed by charge sensing. In the case without fine-tuning, a single run of sweep-and-detection implement a weak measurement of the parity. We find that in general a sequence of about ten runs would completely project a superposition state to either parity, and the charge detection in each run records how the state of MBSs collapses step by step. Remarkably, this readout protocol is of non-demolition and robust to low frequency charge fluctuation.

description: We determine the diffusion length of excess carriers in GaN by spatially resolved cathodoluminescence spectroscopy utilizing a single quantum well as carrier collector or carrier sink. Monochromatic intensity profiles across the quantum well are recorded for temperatures between 10 and 300 K. A classical diffusion model accounts for the profiles acquired between 120 and 300 K, while for temperatures lower than 120 K, a quantum capture process has to be taken into account in addition. Combining the diffusion length extracted from these profiles and the effective carrier lifetime measured by time-resolved photoluminescence experiments, we deduce the carrier diffusivity as a function of temperature. The experimental values are found to be close to theoretical ones for the ambipolar diffusivity of free carriers limited only by intrinsic phonon scattering. This agreement is shown to be fortuitous. The high diffusivity at low temperatures instead originates from an increasing participation of excitons in the diffusion process.

description: The variational autoregressive network is extended to the Euclidean path integral representation of quantum partition function. An essential challenge is adapting the sequential process of sample generation by an autoregressive network to a nonlocal constraint due to the periodic boundary condition in path integral. An add-on oracle is devised for this purpose, which accurately identifies and stalls unviable configurations as soon as they occur. The oracle enables rejection-free sampling conforming to the periodic boundary condition. As a demonstration, the oracle-guided autoregressive network is applied to obtain variational solutions of quantum spin chains at finite temperatures with relatively large system sizes and numbers of time slicing, and to efficiently compute thermodynamic quantities.

description: An analysis of a 1999 sample of 13 no-till producers indicates that over a reasonable range of cotton lint prices, ultra narrow cotton production may result in larger net returns per acre than conventional production practices. The largest percentage cost reduction is in fixed expenses. In general, total direct expenses per acre are also reduced, although UNRC usually results in higher seed and chemical expenses. UNRC has a lower total cost per pound compared to conventional cotton.

description: Studies of the strangeness changing hadronic weak interaction have produced a number of puzzles that have so far evaded a complete explanation within the Standard Model. Their origin may lie either in dynamics peculiar to weak interactions involving strange quarks or in more general aspects of the interplay between strong and weak interactions. In principle, studies of the strangeness conserving hadronic weak interaction using parity violating hadronic and nuclear observables provide a complementary window on this question. However, progress in this direction has been hampered by the lack of a suitable theoretical framework for interpreting hadronic parity violation measurements in a model-independent way. Recent work involving effective field theory ideas has led to the formulation of such a framework while motivating the development of a number of new hadronic parity violation experiments in few-body systems. In this article, we review these recent developments and discuss the prospects and opportunities for further experimental and theoretical progress.

description: Precision application technology has been an important topic in agriculture in recent years. This technology has the promise to improve farm management through improved information and control over in-field variability of soil characteristics and productivity. Despite this apparent promise, recent studies have shown that adoption has been low. However, little is known about the adoption of this technology in Mississippi or the reasons for or against adoption as seen through the eyes of the producer. This survey was designed to collect basic information on producer perceptions about precision agriculture technology and to assess potential reasons for or against adoption.

description: We explore nonequilibrium quantum heat transport in nonlinear bosonic systems in the presence of a non-Kerr-type interaction governed by hyper-parametric oscillation due to two-photon hopping between the two cavities. We estimate the thermodynamic response analytically by constructing the $su(2)$ algebra of the nonlinear Hamiltonian and predict that the system exhibits a negative excitation mode. Consequently, this specific form of interaction enables the cooling of the system by inducing a ground state transition when the number of particles increases, even though the interaction strength is small. We demonstrate a transition of the heat current numerically in the presence of symmetric coupling between the system and bath and show long relaxation times in the cooling phase. We compare with the Kerr-type Bose-Hubbard form of interaction induced via cross-phase modulation, which does not exhibit any such transition. We further compute the nonequilibrium heat current in the presence of two baths at different temperatures and observe that the cooling effect for the non-Kerr-type interaction persists. Our findings may help in the manipulation of quantum states using the system's interactions to induce cooling.

description: Cotton ginning represents an agribusiness that is heavily dependent on production agriculture. Recent changes in farm legislation and other government policies may have a long run impact on the variability of cotton production. This paper examines the potential impacts of increased production variability on the cotton ginning industry in Mississippi. A programming model is used to derive the optimal structure of the ginning industry under certainty. Potential implications of production variability are discussed and extensions to the model are proposed.

description: A 3-manifold is Haken if it contains a topologically essential surface. The Virtual Haken Conjecture posits that every irreducible 3-manifold with infinite fundamental group has a finite cover which is Haken. In this paper, we study random 3-manifolds and their finite covers in an attempt to shed light on this difficult question. In particular, we consider random Heegaard splittings by gluing two handlebodies by the result of a random walk in the mapping class group of a surface. For this model of random 3-manifold, we are able to compute the probabilities that the resulting manifolds have finite covers of particular kinds. Our results contrast with the analogous probabilities for groups coming from random balanced presentations, giving quantitative theorems to the effect that 3-manifold groups have many more finite quotients than random groups. The next natural question is whether these covers have positive betti number. For abelian covers of a fixed type over 3-manifolds of Heegaard genus 2, we show that the probability of positive betti number is 0. In fact, many of these questions boil down to questions about the mapping class group. We are lead to consider the action of mapping class group of a surface S on the set of quotients pi_1(S) -> Q. If Q is a simple group, we show that if the genus of S is large, then this action is very mixing. In particular, the action factors through the alternating group of each orbit. This is analogous to Goldman's theorem that the action of the mapping class group on the SU(2) character variety is ergodic.

description: A generalization of the max-plus transformation, which is known as a method to derive cellular automata from integrable equations, is proposed for complex numbers. Operation rules for this transformation is also studied for general number of complex variables. As an application, the max-plus transformation is applied to the discrete Fourier transformation. Stretched coordinates are introduced to obtain the max-plus transformation whose imaginary part coinsides with a phase of the discrete Fourier transformation.
Parental reports of symptoms and treatment of sleep problems in children with autism or pervasive pevelopmental disorder
Creators: name: Russell, Rachel
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This study examined parental reports of sleep problems in children with autism or Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD) first purpose of this investigation was to describe, through parent report, the types of sleep symptoms experienced by children with autism or PDD. Secondly, this study investigated whether specific types of treatments were tried to treat particular sleep symptoms. In addition, through parent report, this study examined whether particular sleep symptoms were successfully treated by specific treatment types. Parent participants (N=52) who had children aged 3 to 11 with a diagnosis of autism or PDD completed a questionnaire regarding their child's sleep history, specific sleep symptoms, assessment and treatment history. Information was also gathered on parent reports of treatment effectiveness for specific sleep symptoms. Of the 52 participants, 40 (76.9%) reported their child had experienced a past or present sleep problem. The six main symptoms for children with a past or present sleep problem were, 'trouble falling asleep' (62.5%), 'waking to engage in disruptive or self-stimulatory behavior (60.0%) 'sleeps less than other children their age' (30.0%), 'gets less than 6 hours of sleep in a 24 hour period' (20.0%), 'sleeps in my room now' (17.5%) and requires medication to sleep (17.5%). The symptom, 'waking to engage in disruptive or self-stimulatory behavior' was revealed from information volunteered by parent participants during data collection. This symptom was not part of the initial assessment tool used in the questionnaire. As participants did not have an opportunity to select this symptom during the assessment of their child's sleep problem as it was volunteered by some parents, the frequency of this sleep symptom may be underreported. When treatment effectiveness for specific sleep symptoms was examined, the hormone melatonin was frequently reported by parents as an effective treatment for all of the six main sleep symptoms. The behavioral technique, 'extinction' was also reported by parents as an effective treatment for the symptom, 'waking to engage in disruptive and self-stimulatory behavior'. The behavioral technique, 'bedtime fading' was the next most effective treatment reported by parents for both of the symptoms, 'sleeps less than other children their age', and for, 'gets less than 6 hours sleep in a 24 hour period'. Results are discussed in relation to the literature on treatment effectiveness in conjunction with research areas that require future study.

description: Dirac semimetal PdTe2 single-crystal temperature-dependent ultrafast carrier and phonon dynamics were studied using ultrafast optical pump-probe spectroscopy. Two distinct carrier and coherent phonons relaxation processes were identified in the 5 K - 300 K range. Quantitative analysis revealed a fast relaxation process (τ_f) occurring on a subpicosecond time scale which originated from electron-phonon thermalization. This was followed by a slower relaxation process (τ_s) with a time scale of ~ 7-9.5 ps which originated from phonon-assisted electron-hole recombination. Two significant vibrational modes resolved at all measured temperatures and corresponded to Te atoms in-plane (E_g), and out-of-plane (A_1g), motion. As temperature increased both phonon modes softened markedly. A_1g mode frequency monotonically decreased as temperature increased. Its damping rate remained virtually unchanged. As expected, E_g decreased uniformly as temperatures rose. At temperatures above 80 K, there was insignificant change. Test results suggested that pure dephasing played an important role in the relaxation processes. PdTe2 phonon is thought responsible for its superconductive properties. Examining phonons behavior should improve the understanding of its complex superconductivity.

description: We develop a perturbative expansion of quantum Liouville theory on the pseudosphere around the background generated by heavy charges. Explicit results are presented for the one and two point functions corresponding to the summation of infinite classes of standard perturbative graphs. The results are compared to the one point function and to a special case of the two point function derived by Zamolodchikov and Zamolodchikov in the bootstrap approach, finding complete agreement. A partial summation of the conformal block is also obtained.

Carrier diffusion in GaN -- a cathodoluminescence study. III: Nature of nonradiative recombination at threading dislocations

description: We investigate the impact of threading dislocations with an edge component (a or a+c-type) on carrier recombination and diffusion in GaN(0001) layers close to the surface as well as in the bulk. To this end, we utilize cathodoluminescence imaging of the top surface of a GaN(0001) layer with a deeply buried (In,Ga)N quantum well. Varying the acceleration voltage of the primary electrons and comparing the signal from the layer and the quantum well enables us to probe carrier recombination at depths ranging from the close vicinity of the surface to the position of the quantum well. Our experiments are accompanied by fully three-dimensional Monte Carlo simulations of carrier drift, diffusion, and recombination in the presence of the surface, the quantum well, and the dislocation, taking into account the dislocation strain field and the resulting piezoelectric field at the dislocation outcrop. Near the surface, this field establishes an exciton dead zone around the dislocation, the extent of which is not related to the carrier diffusion length. However, reliable values of the carrier diffusion length can be extracted from the dipole-like energy shift observed in hyperspectral cathodoluminescence maps recorded around the dislocation outcrop at low acceleration voltages. For high acceleration voltages, allowing us to probe a depth where carrier recombination is unaffected by surface effects, we observe a much stronger contrast than expected from the piezoelectric field alone. This finding provides unambiguous experimental evidence for the strong nonradiative activity of edge threading dislocations in bulk GaN and hence also in buried heterostructures.

description: In this article we show that every closed oriented smooth 4-manifold can be decomposed into two codimension zero submanifolds (one with reversed orientation) so that both pieces are exact Kahler manifolds with strictly pseudoconvex boundaries and that induced contact structures on the common boundary are isotopic. Meanwhile, matching pairs of Lefschetz fibrations with bounded fibers are offered as the geometric counterpart of these structures. We also provide a simple topological proof of the existence of folded symplectic forms on 4-manifolds.

description: Human noroviruses (HuNoV) are the major cause of viral gastroenteritis worldwide. Similar to other positive-sense single-stranded RNA viruses, norovirus RNA replication requires the formation of a negative strand RNA intermediate. Methods for detecting and quantifying the viral positive or negative sense RNA in infected cells and tissues can be used as important tools in dissecting virus replication. In this study, we have established a sensitive and strand-specific Taqman-based quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) assay for both genogroups GI and GII HuNoV. This assay shows good reproducibility, has a broad dynamic range and is able to detect a diverse range of isolates. We used tagged primers containing a non-viral sequence for the reverse transcription (RT) reaction and targeted this tag in the succeeding qPCR reaction to achieve strand specificity. The specificity of the assay was confirmed by the detection of specific viral RNA strands in the presence of high levels of the opposing strands, in both RT and qPCR reactions. Finally, we further validated the assay in norovirus replicon-bearing cell lines and norovirus-infected human small intestinal organoids, in the presence or absence of small-molecule inhibitors. Overall, we have established a strand-specific qPCR assay that can be used as a reliable method to understand the molecular details of the human norovirus life cycle.

description: Coherent errors, which arise from collective couplings, are a dominant form of noise in many realistic quantum systems, and are more damaging than oft considered stochastic errors. Here, we propose integrating stabilizer codes with constant-excitation codes by code concatenation. Namely, by concatenating an $[[n,k,d]]$ stabilizer outer code with dual-rail inner codes, we obtain a $[[2n,k,d]]$ constant-excitation code immune from coherent phase errors and also equivalent to a Pauli-rotated stabilizer code. When the stabilizer outer code is fault-tolerant, the constant-excitation code has a positive fault-tolerant threshold against stochastic errors. Setting the outer code as a four-qubit amplitude damping code yields an eight-qubit constant-excitation code that corrects a single amplitude damping error, and we analyze this code's potential as a quantum memory.
