description: Floquet codes are a novel class of quantum error-correcting codes with dynamically generated logical qubits arising from a periodic schedule of non-commuting measurements. We utilize the interpretation of measurements in terms of condensation of topological excitations and the rewinding of measurement sequences to engineer new examples of Floquet codes. In particular, rewinding is advantageous for obtaining a desired set of instantaneous stabilizer groups on both toric and planar layouts. Our first example is a Floquet code with instantaneous stabilizer codes that have the same topological order as 3D toric code(s). This Floquet code also exhibits a splitting of the topological order of the 3D toric code under the associated sequence of measurements, i.e., an instantaneous stabilizer group of a single copy of 3D toric code in one round transforms into an instantaneous stabilizer group of two copies of 3D toric codes up to nonlocal stabilizers in the following round. We further construct boundaries for this 3D code and argue that stacking it with two copies of 3D subsystem toric code allows for a transversal implementation of the logical non-Clifford $CCZ$ gate. We also show that the coupled-layer construction of the X-cube Floquet code can be modified by a rewinding schedule such that each of the instantaneous stabilizer codes is finite-depth-equivalent to the X-cube model up to toric codes; the X-cube Floquet code exhibits a splitting of the X-cube model into a copy of the X-cube model and toric codes under the measurement sequence. Our final 3D example is a generalization of the 2D Floquet toric code on the honeycomb lattice to 3D, which has instantaneous stabilizer codes with the same topological order as the 3D fermionic toric code.

description: The problems arising when quantizing systems with periodic boundary conditions are analysed, in an algebraic (group-) quantization scheme, and the ``failure" of the Ehrenfest theorem is clarified in terms of the already defined notion of {\it good} (and {\it bad}) operators. The analysis of ``constrained" Heisenberg-Weyl groups according to this quantization scheme reveals the possibility for new quantum (fractional) numbers extending those allowed for Chern classes in traditional Geometric Quantization. This study is illustrated with the examples of the free particle on the circumference and the charged particle in a homogeneous magnetic field on the torus, both examples featuring ``anomalous" operators, non-equivalent quantization and the latter, fractional quantum numbers. These provide the rationale behind flux quantization in superconducting rings and Fractional Quantum Hall Effect, respectively.

description: Websites utilize Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) to interact with other web services and applications, granting external access to their data for integration with various software systems. APIs offer a standardized means for programmers to retrieve and utilize this data, enabling the creation of diverse functional applications. Prior to API adoption, data transfer relied on memory drives, posing risks such as theft or loss. For organizations managing water-related challenges, real-time water data is crucial, but transmitting it effectively has been challenging. The Digital Water Lab at the University of Michigan addresses this by implementing the Digital Water Lab API (DWLAPI), empowering stakeholders to directly access and incorporate water data into their applications, enhancing efficiency and accessibility.
Analysis of Service-Retrieved TBC-Coated Industrial Gas Turbine Components
Creators: name: Feng, Steven Shih-Yu
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) have been widely used in gas turbine applications such as aerospace and power generation. TBC systems serve numerous purposes – the bond coat acts as a sacrificial layer for oxidation and the ceramic top coat works together with internal cooling systems to protect the superalloys from extreme temperature environments. With the rising demand for better fuel efficiency, the hot gas temperature within modern gas turbine engines has exceeded the working temperature of most advanced superalloys. The state-of-the-art TBCs have raised the high temperature capabilities of modern superalloys to a new level and have become an absolute necessity in modern gas turbine applications. While most research focus on the improvements of TBCs, the present study examines the environmental attacks which could lead to failures of TBCs. To be more exact, sand and dust particles often enter the mainstream hot gas flow path of gas turbines due to the powerful suction of its compressors, and internally generated particles, such as wear debris of the components, also could enter the mainstream hot gas flow path of the gas turbine. Once these particles (external and internal) pass through the combustion stage of the gas turbine engine, some of these particles become molten and adhere onto the surface of TBC-coated turbine components. These sand particles and debris gradually build-up in thickness and cause discoloration on the TBC surface. In some cases, the accumulated deposits could reduce the lifetime of TBCs. In other cases where particles carried by the mainstream hot gas flow path remain in solid state after passing through the hot combustion stage, such solid particles are very likely to impact the TBC coated turbine components, mainly the nozzle guide vanes and turbine blades right after the combustion chamber, damaging the TBCs. Since the gas stream inside the gas turbine engine travels at a high velocity, even micron size particles could build-up high kinetic energies. Upon striking the TBCs, these particles wear down the thickness of the TBCs, reducing its thermal insulation capability. Ex-service roll one (R1) turbine nozzle guide vanes and second stage turbine blades were retrieved from a land-based gas turbine for power generation and an aero-engine for transportation respectively, and the three nozzle guide vanes received were contaminated with surface deposits of various colours, while the turbine blades suffered from erosion and foreign object damage. These turbine components were analyzed using laboratory techniques, primarily by scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis and X-ray diffraction. In addition, heat treatment tests are also conducted to study the effect of these environmental attacks on the performance and lifetime of TBCs to determine the response of the deposit to prolonged thermal exposure.

description: It has been argued that expressive motivations are a crucial element in persuading people to vote, overcoming the “paradox of voting” and it has been demonstrated that in experimental situations, subjects behave in a manner consistent with expressive voting. However, there have been limited attempts at operationalizing expressive voting in a survey context and these have been unable to successfully separate the influence of outcome related benefits (instrumental pay-offs) from expressive pay-offs. In this paper, we use a web survey experiment to first identify citizens with a propensity to behave expressively and then assess the validity of the instrument.

description: In this paper, we prove that two integrals from Gradshteyn and Ryzhik (2014) [1] (namely, Eqs. 3.937 1 and 3.937 2) provide incorrect results in certain conditions. We derive those conditions herein and provide the corrections required for those two formulas. We furthermore derive improved formulas for the solutions to those integrals that are less complicated, avoid the errors of the original formulas, and work under a larger range of parameter values. The improved formulas are used to verify the results of a few other related integrals from [1]; the previous results need correction in some instances, or are correct but can be extended in other instances. Lastly, we also consider the extended case of complex-valued parameters and derive the resulting formulas.

description: The effect of quenched (frozen) orientational disorder on the collective motion of active particles is analyzed. We find that, as with annealed disorder (Langevin noise), active polar systems are far more robust against quenched disorder than their equilibrium counterparts. In particular, long ranged order (i.e., the existence of a non-zero average velocity $\langle {\bf v} \rangle$) persists in the presence of quenched disorder even in spatial dimensions $d=3$, while it is destroyed even by arbitrarily weak disorder in $d \le 4$ in equilibrium systems. Furthermore, in $d=2$, quasi-long-ranged order (i.e., spatial velocity correlations that decay as a power law with distance) occurs when quenched disorder is present, in contrast to the short-ranged order that is all that can survive in equilibrium. These predictions are borne out by simulations in both two and three dimensions.

The mycorrhizas of Europe’s pine forests in the context of nitrogen pollution
Creators: name: Cox, Filipa
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Most trees in temperate and boreal ecosystems form obligate associations with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi, but environmental change may alter ECM communities, potentially having major impacts on forest ecosystem functioning. Understanding the potential consequences of environmental change requires knowledge about current ECM fungal distributions, both to provide a baseline against which to measure changes in communities, and to establish the effects of current broad-scale environmental gradients on mycorrhizal biogeography. This study aims to assess the feasibility of a continental-scale survey of ECM fungal communities across a network of long-term forest monitoring plots, and provide insights into the community ecology of these important organisms. Using a spatially hierarchical sampling strategy and molecular identification of the fungi forming ECM root tips, the ECM fungal communities within 12 plots in the UK and Germany were characterised. In combination with measurements of a range of environmental variables at the 12 plots, the data indicate that nitrogen availability is a potentially important determinant of ECM fungal composition and richness across large spatial scales, but that other environmental variables may also act at large scales to influence ECM fungal communities. Evidence is also found to support a role of interspecific competition structuring ECM fungal communities within, but not across, plots, and a complex interplay between environmental gradients, co-occurrence patterns and phylogenetic relatedness is revealed. Within plots, microsatellite analysis indicates that pine roots from adjacent trees overlap, and do not have exclusive below-ground territories. Re-sampling plots, and reciprocal transplantation of pine seedlings between plots, indicates that pine mycorrhizas are stable both over time and on transplanted seedlings. This work increases our knowledge of the belowground ecology of ECM fungi, and highlights the value of identifying mycorrhizal abundance and distribution patterns - effects of global environmental change may already be significantly altering communities of this functionally critical group.
Interlayer Coupling Driven High-Temperature Superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ Under Pressure

description: The newly discovered high-temperature superconductivity in La$_3$Ni$_2$O$_7$ under pressure has attracted a great deal of attentions. The essential ingredient characterizing the electronic properties is the bilayer NiO$_2$ planes coupled by the interlayer bonding of $3d_{z^2}$ orbitals through the intermediate oxygen-atoms. In the strong coupling limit, the low energy physics is described by an intralayer antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction $J_{\parallel}$ between $3d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbitals and an interlayer one $J_{\perp}$ between $3d_{z^2}$ orbitals. Taking into account Hund's rule on each site and integrating out the $3d_{z^2}$ spin degree of freedom, the system reduces to a single-orbital bilayer $t$-$J$ model based on the $3d_{x^2-y^2}$ orbital. By employing the slave-boson approach, the self-consistent equations for the bonding and pairing order parameters are solved. Near the physically relevant $\frac{1}{4}$-filling regime (doping $δ=0.3\sim 0.5$), the interlayer coupling $J_{\perp}$ tunes the conventional single-layer $d$-wave superconducting state to the $s$-wave one. A strong $J_{\perp}$ could enhance the inter-layer superconducting order, leading to a dramatically increased $T_c$. Interestingly, there could exist a finite regime in which an $s+id$ state emerges.

Anomalies and symmetries of the regularized action

description: We show that the Pauli-Villars regularized action for a scalar field in a gravitational background in 1+1 dimensions has, for any value of the cutoff M, a symmetry which involves non-local transformations of the regulator field plus (local) Weyl transformations of the metric tensor. These transformations, an extension to the regularized action of the usual Weyl symmetry transformations of the classical action, lead to a new interpretation of the conformal anomaly in terms of the (non-anomalous) Jacobian for this symmetry. Moreover, the Jacobian is automatically regularized, and yields the correct result when the masses of the regulators tend to infinity. In this limit the transformations, which are non-local in a scale of 1/M, become the usual Weyl transformation of the metric. We also present the example of the chiral anomaly in 1+1 dimensions.

Efficient Learning and Evaluation of Complex Concepts in Inductive Logic Programming
Creators: name: Santos, Jose Carlos Almeida Santos
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2010

description: Inductive Logic Programming (ILP) is a subfield of Machine Learning with foundations in logic programming. In ILP, logic programming, a subset of first-order logic, is used as a uniform representation language for the problem specification and induced theories. ILP has been successfully applied to many real-world problems, especially in the biological domain (e.g. drug design, protein structure prediction), where relational information is of particular importance. The expressiveness of logic programs grants flexibility in specifying the learning task and understandability to the induced theories. However, this flexibility comes at a high computational cost, constraining the applicability of ILP systems. Constructing and evaluating complex concepts remain two of the main issues that prevent ILP systems from tackling many learning problems. These learning problems are interesting both from a research perspective, as they raise the standards for ILP systems, and from an application perspective, where these target concepts naturally occur in many real-world applications. Such complex concepts cannot be constructed or evaluated by parallelizing existing top-down ILP systems or improving the underlying Prolog engine. Novel search strategies and cover algorithms are needed. The main focus of this thesis is on how to efficiently construct and evaluate complex hypotheses in an ILP setting. In order to construct such hypotheses we investigate two approaches. The first, the Top Directed Hypothesis Derivation framework, implemented in the ILP system TopLog, involves the use of a top theory to constrain the hypothesis space. In the second approach we revisit the bottom-up search strategy of Golem, lifting its restriction on determinate clauses which had rendered Golem inapplicable to many key areas. These developments led to the bottom-up ILP system ProGolem. A challenge that arises with a bottom-up approach is the coverage computation of long, non-determinate, clauses. Prolog’s SLD-resolution is no longer adequate. We developed a new, Prolog-based, theta-subsumption engine which is significantly more efficient than SLD-resolution in computing the coverage of such complex clauses. We provide evidence that ProGolem achieves the goal of learning complex concepts by presenting a protein-hexose binding prediction application. The theory ProGolem induced has a statistically significant better predictive accuracy than that of other learners. More importantly, the biological insights ProGolem’s theory provided were judged by domain experts to be relevant and, in some cases, novel.

Subjects: subject: disability
subject: accessibility
subject: inclusivity
subject: Engineering

description: Disability, as an aspect of identity, is not often acknowledged or spoken about. DEI efforts often overlook the issue of ability and the need for inclusion of students with disabilities, thus inequities are not addressed and the voices of these students are not heard. Non-inclusive community culture, lack of accessibility and support, and negative attitudes toward students with disabilities greatly impact their ability to succeed as engineering students. Engineering culture is rigid and perfectionistic, presuming that �normal� physical and psychological ability is required for competency and capability. Discrimination, stigma and bias, accessibility issues, lack of knowledge, poor instruction and support, and lack of empathy are just some of the factors that reduce graduation rates, extend graduation time and increase student debt, and reduce retention of students with disabilities in engineering both as a major and as a career. Success for students with disabilities is linked to access to optimal support and inclusion. The overall goal of this project was to develop strategies to increase disability awareness and improve accessibility and support for students. Since the problem is both systemic and widespread, it goes beyond what a single student can accomplish. In designing this study, I used a small but representative sampling of students and faculty in the Civil and Environmental Engineering (CEE) department as a starting point for discussion and further work. With this project, I want to bring the experiences of students and faculty forward and identify what action items and solutions the CEE department should take to make the department more equitable, inclusive, and accessible for all students. I developed anonymous surveys for students and faculty as well as used one-on-one conversations with faculty, students, and administration to gain an understanding of the current experiences of the CEE department. I met with Services for Students with Disabilities (SSD) to be better informed on the legal and university-wide components and current practices. I spoke with CLRT-Engin to gain a better understanding of how to analyze and present this data in a way that would be meaningful while being sensitive to different backgrounds and social identities. From the survey and these conversations, I am synthesizing my findings to identify needs, action items, and possible creative solutions to make the CEE department more inclusive and accessible for all. It is in everyone's interest to build an inclusive and accepting environment. Supporting and empowering students with disabilities and eliminating barriers to their success is critical for progress.
Refining the anomaly consistency condition

description: In the extended antifield formalism, a quantum BRST differential for anomalous gauge theories is constructed. Local BRST cohomological classes are characterized, besides the form degree and the ghost number, by the length of their descents and of their lifts, and this both in the standard and the extended antifield formalism. It is shown that during the BRST invariant renormalization of a local BRST cohomological class, the anomaly that can appear is constrained to be a local BRST cohomological class with a shorter descent and a longer lift than the given class. As an application of both results, a simple approach to the Adler-Bardeen theorem for the non abelian gauge anomaly is proposed. It applies independently of the gauge fixing, of power counting restrictions and does not rely on the use of the Callan-Symanzik equation.

description: Monitored quantum dynamics -- unitary evolution interspersed with measurements -- has recently emerged as a rich domain for phase structure in quantum many-body systems away from equilibrium. Here we study monitored dynamics from the point of view of an eavesdropper who has access to the classical measurement outcomes, but not to the quantum many-body system. We show that a measure of information flow from the quantum system to the classical measurement record -- the informational power -- undergoes a phase transition in correspondence with the measurement-induced phase transition (MIPT). This transition determines the eavesdropper's (in)ability to learn properties of an unknown initial quantum state of the system, given a complete classical description of the monitored dynamics and arbitrary classical computational resources. We make this learnability transition concrete by defining classical shadows protocols that the eavesdropper may apply to this problem, and show that the MIPT manifests as a transition in the sample complexity of various shadow estimation tasks, which become harder in the low-measurement phase. We focus on three applications of interest: Pauli expectation values (where we find the MIPT appears as a point of optimal learnability for typical Pauli operators), many-body fidelity, and global charge in $U(1)$-symmetric dynamics. Our work unifies different manifestations of the MIPT under the umbrella of learnability and gives this notion a general operational meaning via classical shadows.

A Schrodinger-like equation valid for arbitrary photon intensity is derived from the Dirac equation without the weak-field assumption. The "eigenvalue" in the new equation is an operator in a Cartan subalgebra. An approximation consistent with the nonrelativistic energy level derived from its relativistic value replaces the "eigenvalue" operator by an ordinary number, recovering the ordinary Schrodinger eigenvalue equation used in the formal scattering formalism. The Schrodinger-like equation for the multimode case is also presented.

Array signal processing robust to pointing errors
Creators: name: Zhuang, Jie
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2011

description: The objective of this thesis is to design computationally efficient DOA (direction-of- arrival) estimation algorithms and beamformers robust to pointing errors, by harnessing the antenna geometrical information and received signals. Initially, two fast root-MUSIC-type DOA estimation algorithms are developed, which can be applied in arbitrary arrays. Instead of computing all roots, the first proposed iterative algorithm calculates the wanted roots only. The second IDFT-based method obtains the DOAs by scanning a few circles in parallel and thus the rooting is avoided. Both proposed algorithms, with less computational burden, have the asymptotically similar performance to the extended root-MUSIC. The second main contribution in this thesis is concerned with the matched direction beamformer (MDB), without using the interference subspace. The manifold vector of the desired signal is modeled as a vector lying in a known linear subspace, but the associated linear combination vector is otherwise unknown due to pointing errors. This vector can be found by computing the principal eigen-vector of a certain rank-one matrix. Then a MDB is constructed which is robust to both pointing errors and overestimation of the signal subspace dimension. Finally, an interference cancellation beamformer robust to pointing errors is considered. By means of vector space projections, much of the pointing error can be eliminated. A one-step power estimation is derived by using the theory of covariance fitting. Then an estimate-and-subtract interference canceller beamformer is proposed, in which the power inversion problem is avoided and the interferences can be cancelled completely.

On Measuring the Variation of High Energy Cut-off in Active Galactic Nuclei

description: The variation in the high energy cut-off E_c in active galactic nuclei uniquely probes the corona physics. In this work we show that the ratio of two NuSTAR spectra (in analogy to difference imaging technique widely used in astronomy) is uniquely useful in studying E_c variations. The spectra ratio could directly illustrate potential E_c variation between two spectra. By comparing with the ratio of two spectral fitting models, it also examines the reliability of the spectral-fitting measured E_c variation. Assisted with this technique, we revisit the 5 AGNs in literature (MCG -5-23-16, 3C 382, NGC 4593, NGC 5548 and Mrk 335) for which E_c (kT_e) variations have been claimed with NuSTAR observations. We show the claimed E_c variations appear inconsistent with the spectra ratios in three of them, thus need to be revised, demonstrating the striking usefulness of spectra ratio. We present thereby improved spectral fitting results and E_c variations. We also report a new source with E_c variations based on NuSTAR observations (radio galaxy 4C +74.26). We find the corona tends to be hotter when it brightens (hotter-when-brighter) in 3C 382, NGC 5548, Mrk 335 and 4C +74.27, but MCG -5-23-16 and NGC 4593 show no evidence of significant E_c variations. Meanwhile all 6 sources in this small sample appear softer-when-brighter. Changes in corona geometry are required to explain the observed hotter-when-brighter trends.

description: This project looks to aid in short-term disaster relief efforts in areas that have lost access to clean water due to electrical outages. The proposed solution to this problem looks to design a desalination wave glider and piston pump system, which converts wave energy for use in this desalination process, as well as its propulsion. This overarching project looks to model the glider dynamics and associated control systems. This first step seeks to integrate models for the glider design alongside environmental wave characteristics, in the hopes of creating models that theoretically predict the glider's desalination efficiency based on its environment. This paper specifically focuses on an explanation of background information for the proposed piston pump model, an exploration of potential glider deployment sites, an example of data collection at similar sites, a generation of synthetic data based on this data collection, and a predicted model for desalination efficiency based on this simulation. As a result of these focuses, a synthetic data generation model that utilizes past wave data to simulate wave characteristics with variation both spatially and temporally was developed. With this synthetic data, a predictive model was then built that would give valuable insight into when and where the glider should be deployed to optimize its desalination efficiency.
Assessing quantum dot SWAP gate fidelity using tensor network methods

description: Advanced tensor network numerical methods are used to explore the fidelity of repeated SWAP operations on a system comprising 20-100 quantum dot spin qubits in the presence of valley leakage and electrostatic crosstalk. The fidelity of SWAP gates is largely unaffected by Zeeman splitting and valley splitting, except when these parameters come into resonance. The fidelity remains independent of the overall valley phase for valley eigenstates, while for generic valley states, some minor corrections arise. We analyze the fidelity scaling for long qubit chains without valley effects, where crosstalk represents the only error source.

description: In quantum physics there are well-known situations when measurements of the same property in different contexts (under different conditions) have the same probability distribution, but cannot be represented by one and the same random variable. Such systems of random variables are called contextual. More generally, true contextuality is observed when different contexts force measurements of the same property (in psychology, responses to the same question) to be more dissimilar random variables than warranted by the difference of their distributions. The difference in distributions is itself a form of context-dependence, but of another nature: it is attributable to direct causal influences exerted by contexts upon the random variables. The Contextuality-by-Default (CbD) theory allows one to separate true contextuality from direct influences in the overall context-dependence. The CbD analysis of numerous previous attempts to demonstrate contextuality in human judgments shows that all context-dependence in them can be accounted for by direct influences, with no true contextuality present. However, contextual systems in human behavior can be found. In this paper we present a series of crowdsourcing experiments that exhibit true contextuality in simple decision making.}{The design of these experiments is an elaboration of one introduced in the "Snow Queen" experiment (Decision 5, 193-204, 2018), where contextuality was for the first time demonstrated unequivocally.
