description: A metallic ring based, diode-integrated, low-profile, power-dependent, reflective metasurface working from 3 GHz to 3.6 GHz is proposed in this letter. Unlike the previous study which shifts a band up and down to change the impedance of the surface, the triggering of the diodes directly transforms the structure from a surface wave supportive state to a self-induced bandgap topology if exposed to high power RF illumination. We demonstrate the concept by conducting the EM-circuit co-simulation and measurements for a 6 by 8 unit 2D prototype. Near field scan experiments verify that the proposed topology works in two distinct states, the ON and OFF state, and high-power measurements prove that the reflection varies with the incident signal power. The highest 10 dB decrement in transmission occurs at 3.3 GHz with 52 dBm illumination. This structure can be used to protect sensitive devices from large signals while otherwise supporting a communication channel for small signals.

description: The majority of high energy physics experiments rely on data acquisition and hardware-based trigger systems performing a number of stringent selections before storing data for offline analysis. The online reconstruction and selection performed at the trigger level are bound to the synchronous nature of the data acquisition system, resulting in a trade-off between the amount of data collected and the complexity of the online reconstruction performed. Exotic physics processes, such as long-lived and slow-moving particles, are rarely targeted by online triggers as they require complex and nonstandard online reconstruction, usually incompatible with the time constraints of most data acquisition systems. The online trigger selection can thus impact as one of the main limiting factors to the experimental reach for exotic signatures. Alternative data acquisition solutions based on the continuous and asynchronous processing of the stream of data from the detectors are therefore foreseeable. Trigger-less data readout systems, paired with efficient streaming data processing solutions, can provide a viable alternative. In this document, an end-to-end implementation of a fully trigger-less data acquisition and online processing system is discussed. An easily scalable and deployable implementation of such an architecture is proposed, based on open-source distributed computing frameworks capable of performing asynchronous online processing of streaming data. The proposed schema can be suitable for deployment as a fully integrated system for small-scale experimental apparatus, or to complement the trigger-based data acquisition systems of larger experiments. A muon telescope setup consisting of a set of gaseous detectors is used as the experimental development testbed in this work, and a fully integrated online processing pipeline deployed on cloud computing resources is implemented and described.

description: Infrared dark clouds (IRDCs) are cold, dense regions of the interstellar medium (ISM) that are likely to represent the initial conditions for massive star formation. It is thus important to study the physical and chemical conditions of IRDCs to provide constraints and inputs for theoretical models of these processes. We aim to determine the astrochemical conditions, especially cosmic ray ionisation rate (CRIR) and chemical age, in different regions of the massive IRDC G28.37+00.07 by comparing observed abundances of multiple molecules and molecular ions with the predictions of astrochemical models. We have computed a series of single-zone astrochemical models with a gas-grain network that systematically explores the parameter space of density, temperature, CRIR, and visual extinction. We have also investigated the effects of choices of CO ice binding energy and temperatures achieved in transient heating of grains when struck by cosmic rays. We selected 10 positions across the IRDC that are known to have a variety of star formation activity. We utilised mid-infrared (MIR) extinction maps and sub-mm emission maps to measure the mass surface densities of these regions, needed for abundance and volume density estimates. The sub-mm emission maps were also used to measure temperatures. We then used IRAM-30m observations of various tracers to estimate column densities and thus abundances. Using estimates of the abundances of CO, HCO$^+$ and N$_2$H$^+$ we find consistency with astrochemical models that have relatively low CRIRs of $ζ\sim10^{-18}$ to $\sim10^{-17}\:{\rm s}^{-1}$, with no evidence for systematic variation with the level of star formation activity. Astrochemical ages are found to be < 1 Myr. We discuss potential sources of systematic uncertainties in these results and the overall implications for IRDC evolutionary history and astrochemical models.(abridged for arXiv)

Year: 2021

description: Exploring the lowest energy configurations of a quantum system is consistent with the counting statistics of the frequently appeared states from quenching dynamics. By studying the Little-Parks periodicities in a multiply-connected ring-shaped geometry from the holographic technique, it is found that the frequently appeared states from dynamics incline to have lower free energies. In particular, the resulting winding numbers from quenched dynamics are constrained in a normal distribution for a fixed magnetic flux threading the ring. Varying the magnetic fluxes, Little-Parks periodicities will take place with periods identical to the flux quantum $Φ_0$. Favorable solutions with lowest free energies perform first order phase transitions which transform between distinct winding numbers as the magnetic flux equals half-integers multiplying $Φ_0$.

description: Topology-linked binary degrees of freedom of guided waves have been used to expand the channel capacity of and to ensure robust transmission through photonic waveguides. However, selectively exciting optical modes associated with the desired degree of freedom is challenging and typically requires spatially extended sources or filters. Both approaches are incompatible with the ultimate objective of developing compact mode-selective sources powered by single emitters. In addition, the implementation of highly desirable functionalities, such as controllable distribution of guided modes between multiple detectors, becomes challenging in highly-compact devices due to photon loss to reflections. Here, we demonstrate that a linearly-polarized dipole-like source can selectively excite a topologically robust edge mode with the desired valley degree of freedom. Reflection-free routing of valley-polarized edge modes into two spatially-separated detectors with reconfigurable splitting ratios is also presented. An optical implementation of such a source will have the potential to broaden the applications of topological photonic devices.

description: Non-isolated systems have diverse coupling relations with the external environment. These relations generate complex thermodynamics and information transmission between the system and its environment. The framework depicted in the current research attempts to glance at the critical role of the internal orders inside the non-isolated system in shaping the information thermodynamics coupling. We characterize the coupling as a generalized encoding process, where the system acts as an information thermodynamics encoder to encode the external information based on thermodynamics. We formalize the encoding process in the context of the nonequilibrium second law of thermodynamics, revealing an intrinsic difference in information thermodynamics characteristics between information thermodynamics encoders with and without internal correlations. During the information encoding process of an external source $\mathsf{Y}$, specific sub-systems in an encoder $\mathsf{X}$ with internal correlations can exceed the information thermodynamics bound on $\left(\mathsf{X},\mathsf{Y}\right)$ and encode more information than system $\mathsf{X}$ works as a whole. We computationally verify this theoretical finding in an Ising model with a random external field and a neural data set of the human brain during visual perception and recognition. Our analysis demonstrates that the stronger internal correlation inside these systems implies a higher possibility for specific sub-systems to encode more information than the global one. These findings may suggest a new perspective in studying information thermodynamics in diverse physical and biological systems.

description: With the proliferation of Lidar sensors and 3D vision cameras, 3D point cloud analysis has attracted significant attention in recent years. After the success of the pioneer work PointNet, deep learning-based methods have been increasingly applied to various tasks, including 3D point cloud segmentation and 3D object classification. In this paper, we propose a novel 3D point cloud learning network, referred to as Dynamic Point Feature Aggregation Network (DPFA-Net), by selectively performing the neighborhood feature aggregation with dynamic pooling and an attention mechanism. DPFA-Net has two variants for semantic segmentation and classification of 3D point clouds. As the core module of the DPFA-Net, we propose a Feature Aggregation layer, in which features of the dynamic neighborhood of each point are aggregated via a self-attention mechanism. In contrast to other segmentation models, which aggregate features from fixed neighborhoods, our approach can aggregate features from different neighbors in different layers providing a more selective and broader view to the query points, and focusing more on the relevant features in a local neighborhood. In addition, to further improve the performance of the proposed semantic segmentation model, we present two novel approaches, namely Two-Stage BF-Net and BF-Regularization to exploit the background-foreground information. Experimental results show that the proposed DPFA-Net achieves the state-of-the-art overall accuracy score for semantic segmentation on the S3DIS dataset, and provides a consistently satisfactory performance across different tasks of semantic segmentation, part segmentation, and 3D object classification. It is also computationally more efficient compared to other methods.

description: We show the improvement to cosmological constraints from galaxy cluster surveys with the addition of CMB-cluster lensing data. We explore the cosmological implications of adding mass information from the 3.1$σ$ detection of gravitational lensing of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) by galaxy clusters to the Sunyaev-Zel'dovich (SZ) selected galaxy cluster sample from the 2500 deg$^2$ SPT-SZ survey and targeted optical and X-ray followup data. In the $Λ$CDM model, the combination of the cluster sample with the Planck power spectrum measurements prefers $σ_8 \left(Ω_m/0.3 \right)^{0.5} = 0.831 \pm 0.020$. Adding the cluster data reduces the uncertainty on this quantity by a factor of 1.4, which is unchanged whether or not the 3.1$σ$ CMB-cluster lensing measurement is included. We then forecast the impact of CMB-cluster lensing measurements with future cluster catalogs. Adding CMB-cluster lensing measurements to the SZ cluster catalog of the on-going SPT-3G survey is expected to improve the expected constraint on the dark energy equation of state $w$ by a factor of 1.3 to $σ(w) = 0.19$. We find the largest improvements from CMB-cluster lensing measurements to be for $σ_8$, where adding CMB-cluster lensing data to the cluster number counts reduces the expected uncertainty on $σ_8$ by factors of 2.4 and 3.6 for SPT-3G and CMB-S4 respectively.

description: Context: The timescale of a microlensing event scales as a square root of a lens mass. Therefore, long-lasting events are important candidates for massive lenses, including black holes. Aims: Here we present the analysis of the Gaia18cbf microlensing event reported by the Gaia Science Alerts system. It exhibited a long timescale and features that are common for the annual microlensing parallax effect. We deduce the parameters of the lens based on the derived best fitting model. Methods: We used photometric data collected by the Gaia satellite as well as the follow-up data gathered by the ground-based observatories. We investigated the range of microlensing models and used them to derive the most probable mass and distance to the lens using a Galactic model as a prior. Using known mass-brightness relation we determined how likely it is that the lens is a main-sequence (MS) star. Results: This event is one of the longest ever detected, with the Einstein timescale of $t_\mathrm{E}=491.41^{+128.31}_{-84.94}$ days for the best solution and $t_\mathrm{E}=453.74^{+178.69}_{-105.74}$ days for the second-best. Assuming Galaxy priors, this translates to the most probable lens mass of $M_\mathrm{L} = 2.65^{+5.09}_{-1.48} M_\odot$ and $M_\mathrm{L} = 1.71^{+3.78}_{-1.06} M_\odot$, respectively. The limits on the blended light suggest that this event was most likely not caused by a MS star, but rather by a dark remnant of stellar evolution.

description: Time dependent magnetic fields can be sourced by spinning neutron stars, orbiting binaries and merging neutron stars. We consider electromagnetic radiation from axion condensates in the background of an alternating magnetic field. We find that a resonant peak in radiation can occur when the frequency of the alternating magnetic field is comparable with the axion mass scale. More interestingly, in situations where the frequency of the alternating magnetic field itself changes with time, as can be the case in binary mergers due to steady increase in orbital frequency, the resonant peak in radiation may occur for a range of axion mass scales scanned by the time-varying magnetic field frequency.

description: We derive a universal nonperturbative bound on the distance between unitary evolutions generated by time-dependent Hamiltonians in terms of the difference of their integral actions. We apply our result to provide explicit error bounds for the rotating-wave approximation and generalize it beyond the qubit case. We discuss the error of the rotating-wave approximation over long time and in the presence of time-dependent amplitude modulation. We also show how our universal bound can be used to derive and to generalize other known theorems such as the strong-coupling limit, the adiabatic theorem, and product formulas, which are relevant to quantum-control strategies including the Zeno control and the dynamical decoupling. Finally, we prove generalized versions of the Trotter product formula, extending its validity beyond the standard scaling assumption.

description: We study the variation of the gravitational Newton's constant on cosmological scales in scalar-tensor theories of gravity. We focus on the simplest models of scalar-tensor theories with a coupling to the Ricci scalar of the form $F(σ) = N_{pl}^2 + ξσ^2$, such as extended Jordan-Brans-Dicke ($N_{pl}=0$), or a non-minimally coupled scalar field with $N_{pl}=M_{pl}$, which permits the gravitational constant to vary self-consistently in time and space. In addition, we allow the gravitational constant to differ from the Newton's constant $G$, i.e. $G_{\rm eff}(z=0) = G(1+Δ)^2$. Combining the information from {\em Planck} 2018 CMB temperature, polarization and lensing, together with a compilation of BAO measurements from BOSS, we constrain the imbalance to $Δ= -0.022 \pm 0.023$ (68% CL) and the coupling to $10^3\, ξ< 0.82$ (95% CL) for JBD and for a non-minimally coupled scalar field we constrain the imbalance to $Δ> -0.018$ ($< 0.021$) and the coupling parameter to $ξ< 0.089$ ($ξ> - 0.041$) both at 95% CL. These constraints correspond to a variation of the gravitational constant now respect to the one in the radiation era to be smaller than 3% (95% CL) and to the ratio of the gravitational Newton's constant measured from cosmological scales and the one measured in a Cavendish-like experiment to be smaller than 4-15% (95% CL). With current data, we observe that the degeneracy between $Δ$, the coupling $ξ$, and $H_0$ allows for a larger value of the Hubble constant increasing the agreement between the measurement of the Hubble constant by the SH0ES team and its value inferred by CMB data. Future data such as the combination of CMB anisotropies from LiteBIRD and CMB-S4, and large-scale structures galaxy clustering from DESI and galaxy shear from LSST will reduce the uncertainty to $σ(Δ) = 0.004$.

description: Many interventional surgical procedures rely on medical imaging to visualise and track instruments. Such imaging methods not only need to be real-time capable, but also provide accurate and robust positional information. In ultrasound applications, typically only two-dimensional data from a linear array are available, and as such obtaining accurate positional estimation in three dimensions is non-trivial. In this work, we first train a neural network, using realistic synthetic training data, to estimate the out-of-plane offset of an object with the associated axial aberration in the reconstructed ultrasound image. The obtained estimate is then combined with a Kalman filtering approach that utilises positioning estimates obtained in previous time-frames to improve localisation robustness and reduce the impact of measurement noise. The accuracy of the proposed method is evaluated using simulations, and its practical applicability is demonstrated on experimental data obtained using a novel optical ultrasound imaging setup. Accurate and robust positional information is provided in real-time. Axial and lateral coordinates for out-of-plane objects are estimated with a mean error of 0.1mm for simulated data and a mean error of 0.2mm for experimental data. Three-dimensional localisation is most accurate for elevational distances larger than 1mm, with a maximum distance of 6mm considered for a 25mm aperture.

description: Tensor product states have proved extremely powerful for simulating the area-law entangled states of many-body systems, such as the ground states of gapped Hamiltonians in one dimension. The applicability of such methods to the \emph{dynamics} of many-body systems is less clear: the memory required grows exponentially in time in most cases, quickly becoming unmanageable. New methods reduce the memory required by selectively discarding/dissipating parts of the many-body wavefunction which are expected to have little effect on the hydrodynamic observables typically of interest: for example, some methods discard fine-grained correlations associated with $n$-point functions, with $n$ exceeding some cutoff $\ell_*$. In this work, we present a theory for the sizes of `backflow corrections', i.e., systematic errors due to discarding this fine-grained information. In particular, we focus on their effect on transport coefficients. Our results suggest that backflow corrections are exponentially suppressed in the size of the cutoff $\ell_*$. Moreover, the backflow errors themselves have a hydrodynamical expansion, which we elucidate. We test our predictions against numerical simulations run on random unitary circuits and ergodic spin-chains. These results lead to the conjecture that transport coefficients in ergodic diffusive systems can be captured to a given precision $ε$ with an amount of memory scaling as $\exp[\mathcal{O}(\log(ε)^2)]$, significantly better than the naive estimate of memory $\exp[\mathcal{O}(\mathrm{poly}(ε^{-1}))]$ required by more brute-force methods.

description: Ultracold polar molecules (UPMs) are emerging as a novel and powerful platform for fundamental applications in quantum science. Here, we report characterization of the coherence between nuclear spin levels of ultracold ground-state sodium-rubidium molecules loaded into a 3D optical lattice with a nearly photon scattering limited trapping lifetime of 9(1) seconds. After identifying and compensating the main sources of decoherence, we achieve a maximum nuclear spin coherence time of $T_2^* = 3.3(6)$~s with two-photon Ramsey spectroscopy. Furthermore, based on the understanding of the main factor limiting the coherence of the two-photon Rabi transition, we obtain a Rabi lineshape with linewidth below 0.8 Hz. The simultaneous realization of long lifetime and coherence time, and ultra-high spectroscopic resolution in our system unveils the great potentials of UPMs in quantum simulation, computation, and metrology.
