networks

description: This essay and the related computation delivers a comprehensive introduction into the concept of bipartite networks, a class of networks whose nodes are divided into two sets and only the connection between two nodes in different sets is allowed (Easley and Kleinberg, 2010). The analysis and visualization is done in the programming language Python and offers easy to understand first steps in both fields, network analyses and python programming. As data a collaboration network of github users and projects and an affiliation network of dbpedia entities with countries from KONECT are used. The analysis compares key measures like average shortest path, density, degree centrality and clustering. Also the topic of bipartite network projections to unipartite ones will be addressed on a practical and theoretical level. A specialty is, that the whole documentation and computation is done the open way in use of the Open Source Softwares LaTeX, Python and Git/GitHub to make it reproducible, freely accessible and useable for everyone.

description: We describe the fabrication and measurement of microwave coplanar waveguide resonators with internal quality factors above 10 million at high microwave powers and over 1 million at low powers, with the best low power results approaching 2 million, corresponding to ~1 photon in the resonator. These quality factors are achieved by controllably producing very smooth and clean interfaces between the resonators' aluminum metallization and the underlying single crystal sapphire substrate. Additionally, we describe a method for analyzing the resonator microwave response, with which we can directly determine the internal quality factor and frequency of a resonator embedded in an imperfect measurement circuit.

Subjects: subject: Mathematical Physics (math-ph)

description: A non-unitary version of quantum scattering is studied via an exactly solvable toy model. The model is merely asymptotically local since the smooth path of the coordinate is admitted complex in the non-asymptotic domain. At any real angular-momentum-like parameter the reflection R and transmission T are shown to change with the winding number (i.e., topology) of the path. The points of unitarity appear related to the points of existence of quantum-knot bound states.

description: In this paper we study the geometric discrepancy of explicit constructions of uniformly distributed points on the two-dimensional unit sphere. We show that the spherical cap discrepancy of random point sets, of spherical digital nets and of spherical Fibonacci lattices converges with order $N^{-1/2}$. Such point sets are therefore useful for numerical integration and other computational simulations. The proof uses an area-preserving Lambert map. A detailed analysis of the level curves and sets of the pre-images of spherical caps under this map is given.

Photon condensation in circuit QED by engineered dissipation

subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We study photon condensation phenomena in a driven and dissipative array of superconducting microwave resonators. Specifically, we show that by using an appropriately designed coupling of microwave photons to superconducting qubits, an effective dissipative mechanism can be engineered, which scatters photons towards low-momentum states while conserving their number. This mimics a tunable coupling of bosons to a low temperature bath, and leads to the formation of a stationary photon condensate in the presence of losses and under continuous-driving conditions. Here we propose a realistic experimental setup to observe this effect in two or multiple coupled cavities, and study the characteristics of such an out-of-equilibrium condensate, which arise from the competition between pumping and dissipation processes.

We also discuss briefly the energy dependence of the staggering parameter.

description: The Voigt profile - a convolution of a Gaussian and a Lorentzian - accurately describes the absorption lines of atomic and molecular gases at low probe powers. Fitting such to experimental spectra yields both the Lorentzian natural linewidth and the Gaussian Doppler broadening. However, as the probe power increases saturation effects introduce spurious power dependence into the fitted Doppler width. Using a simple atomic model, we calculate power-dependent corrections to the Voigt profile, which are parametrized by the Gaussian Doppler width, the Lorentzian natural linewidth, and the optical depth. We show numerically and experimentally that including the correction term substantially reduces the spurious power dependence in the fitted Gaussian width.

Neutrinos and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The discovery of neutrino oscillations provides a solid evidence for nonzero neutrino masses and leptonic mixing. The fact that neutrino masses are so tiny constitutes a puzzling problem in particle physics. From the theoretical viewpoint, the smallness of neutrino masses can be elegantly explained through the seesaw mechanism. Another challenging issue for particle physics and cosmology is the explanation of the matter-antimatter asymmetry observed in Nature. Among the viable mechanisms, leptogenesis is a simple and well-motivated framework. In this talk we briefly review these aspects, making emphasis on the possibility of linking neutrino physics to the cosmological baryon asymmetry originated from leptogenesis.

description: Magnetoelectric phase diagrams of the rare-earth (R) Mn perovskites RMnO3 are theoretically studied by focusing on crucial roles of the symmetric magnetostriction or the Peierls-type spin-phonon coupling through extending our previous work [M. Mochizuki et al., Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 037205 (2010)]. We first construct a microscopic classical Heisenberg model for RMnO3 including the frustrated spin exchanges, single-ion anisotropy, and Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction. We also incorporate the lattice degree of freedom coupled to the Mn spins via the Peierls-type magnetostriction. By analyzing this model using the replica-exchange Monte-Carlo technique, we reproduce the entire phase diagram of RMnO3 in the plane of temperature and magnitude of the orthorhombic lattice distortion. Surprisingly it is found that in the ab-plane spiral spin phase, the (S.S)-type magnetostriction plays an important role for the ferroelectric order with polarization P//a whose contribution is comparable to or larger than the contribution from the (SxS)-type magnetostriction, whereas in the bc-plane spiral phase, the ferroelectric order with P//c is purely of (SxS) origin. This explains much larger P in the ab-plane spiral phase than the bc-plane spiral phase as observed experimentally, and gives a clue how to enhance the magnetoelectric coupling in the spin-spiral-based multiferroics. We also predict a noncollinear deformation of the E-type spin structure resulting in the finite (SxS) contribution to the ferroelectric order with P//a, and a wide coexisting regime of the commensurate E and incommensurate spiral states, which resolve several experimental puzzles.

description: Diagnosis is a profoundly social phenomenon which, while putatively identifying disease entities, also provides insights into how societies understand and explain health, illness and deviance. In this paper, we explore how diagnosis becomes part of popular culture through its use in many non-clinical settings. From historical diagnosis of long-deceased public personalities to media diagnoses of prominent politicians and even diagnostic analysis of fictitious characters, the diagnosis does meaningful social work, explaining diversity and legitimising deviance in the popular imagination. We discuss a range of diagnostic approaches from paleopathography to fictopathography, which all take place outside of the clinic. Through pathography, diagnosis creeps into widespread and everyday domains it has not occupied previously, performing medicalisation through popularisation. We describe how these pathographies capture, not the disorders of historical or fictitious figures, rather, the anxieties of a contemporary society, eager to explain deviance in ways that helps to make sense of the world, past, present and imaginary.

description: In thermal equilibrium the ground state of the plasma of Standard Model particles is determined by temperature and exactly conserved combinations of baryon and lepton numbers. We show that at non-zero values of the global charges a translation invariant and homogeneous state of the plasma becomes unstable and the system transits into a new state, containing a large-scale magnetic field. The origin of this effect is the parity-breaking character of weak interactions and chiral anomaly. This situation can occur in the early Universe and may play an important role in its subsequent evolution.

description: Transmedia design is a vital and growing practice in digital entertainment. In transmedia storytelling, a narrative is told across multiple physical and digital platforms. By taking inspiration from the interactive stories and emergent systems found in video games, I hypothesize that well-designed visual art, music, and interaction can deliver a compelling transmedia narrative. As a case study, I recount and analyze the conception, design, development, execution, and iteration of an original transmedia franchise, Rite of Passage. By drawing comparisons between pixel and ASCII art, trance music, the philosophy of the microcosm, and the dynamics of community gathering, I describe a personal process of worldbuilding for transmedia design. My collaborators and I then reveal the world of Rite of Passage through a cassette release, various forms of graphic design, and the production of an immersive audiovisual event. In order to develop the visual content for this production, I explore a media design workflow consisting of intertwined technical development and aesthetic curation. In this workflow, the technical development of generative visual systems and the curation of those systems result in a dialogue between the designer and the computer. A cohesive narrative is thus devised retroactively in accordance with the established worldbuilding. I consider this an emergent system, which is a system that experiences unique properties and behaviors that arise from the interactions of its individual elements.

We also demonstrate that foil-based schemes are not viable for positive particles.

description: Due to the importance of entanglement for quantum information purposes, a framework has been developed for its characterization and quantification as a resource based on the following operational principle: entanglement among $N$ parties cannot be created by local operations and classical communication, even when $N-1$ parties collaborate. More recently, nonlocality has been identified as another resource, alternative to entanglement and necessary for device-independent quantum information protocols. We introduce an operational framework for nonlocality based on a similar principle: nonlocality among $N$ parties cannot be created by local operations and allowed classical communication even when $N-1$ parties collaborate. We then show that the standard definition of multipartite nonlocality, due to Svetlichny, is inconsistent with this operational approach: according to it, genuine tripartite nonlocality could be created by two collaborating parties. We finally discuss alternative definitions for which consistency is recovered.

description: The Slave River Delta (8,300 km2) is a long (170 km), narrow ( 42 km) alluvial plain which extends north from the Slave River Rapids at Fort Smith to the Great Slave Lake. The delta plain is flanked by the Talston River, Tethul River and Canadian Shield to the east and Little Buffalo River to the west. Analysis of 36 litho-stratigraphic logs from river cutbanks indicate a sandy wave-influenced delta inferred from the dominance of wave-associated sedimentary structures in the middle, upper shoreface and beach deposits. The cutbank exposures terminate approximately 235 km downriver from Fort Smith where mud dominates much of the surficial sediment. Receiving basin morphology, water depth and termination of rebound in the region appears to be accountable for the transition. Radiocarbon analysis of 11 wood samples from river cutbanks and a paleoshoreline reconstruction indicate that the delta prograded at an average rate of 20.76 metres per year from 8,070 to the present. A tilt rate of 21.2 cm/km due to isostatic rebound, normal to the retreating ice margin, has been calculated for the Slave Delta region. The subaqueous delta front exhibits several unique morphologic features including barrier islands, offshore bars, tensional cracks, subaqueous slumps and pressure ridges at 59 m lake depth. The barriers and off shore bars consist of medium sand while the slumps and pressure ridges are interpreted to be of mud.

description: The properties of the entanglement entropy (EE) in one-dimensional disordered interacting systems are studied. Anderson localization leaves a clear signature on the average EE, as it saturates on length scale exceeding the localization length. This is verified by numerically calculating the EE for an ensemble of disordered realizations using density matrix renormalization group (DMRG). A heuristic expression describing the dependence of the EE on the localization length, which takes into account finite size effects, is proposed. This is used to extract the localization length as function of the interaction strength. The localization length dependence on the interaction fits nicely with the expectations.

description: In clinical trials, missing data may lead to serious misinterpretation of trial results. To address this issue, it is important to collect post-randomization data (such as efficacy measurement data and adverse event onset data). Such post-randomization data are called auxiliary variables and they can be useful for constructing missingness and imputation models. A multiply robust estimator using an empirical likelihood method was previously proposed by Han and Wang (2013) and Han (2014). However, that estimator was developed for cross-sectional data and situations in which no auxiliary variables are missing. This is contrary to actual clinical trial settings, in which some auxiliary variables will invariably be missing. Consequently, to apply Han’s method to longitudinal data, missing auxiliary variables need to be imputed. This paper proposes a new method that extends Han’s method to a longitudinal outcome model by applying weighted generalized estimating equations with new weights. Monte Carlo simulations of a repeated binary response with missing at random dropouts demonstrated that the proposed estimator is multiply robust and exhibits better performance than that of augmented inverse probability weighted complete-case estimating equations under several simulation scenarios. We also successfully applied the proposed method to plaque psoriasis study data.

description: We present a fit to precision electroweak data in the standard model extended by an additional vector boson, Z', with suppressed couplings to the electron compared to the Z boson, with couplings to the b-quark, and with mass close to the mass of the Z boson. This scenario provides an excellent fit to forward-backward asymmetry of the b-quark measured on the Z-pole and \pm 2 GeV off the Z-pole, and to lepton asymmetry, A_e, obtained from the measurement of left-right asymmetry for hadronic final states, and thus it removes the tension in the determination of the weak mixing angle from these two measurements. It also leads to a significant improvement in the total hadronic cross section on the Z-pole and R_b measured at energies above the Z-pole. We explore in detail properties of the Z' needed to explain the data and present a model for Z' with required couplings. The model preserves standard model Yukawa couplings, it is anomaly free and can be embedded into grand unified theories. It allows a choice of parameters that does not generate any flavor violating couplings of the Z' to standard model fermions. Out of standard model couplings, it only negligibly modifies the left-handed bottom quark coupling to the Z boson and the 3rd column of the CKM matrix. Modifications of standard model couplings in the charged lepton sector are also negligible. It predicts an additional down type quark, D, with mass in a few hundred GeV range, and an extra lepton doublet, L, possibly much heavier than the D quark. We discuss signatures of the Z' at the Large Hadron Collider and calculate the Z'b production cross section which is the dominant production mechanism for the Z'.

description: We report disk-shaped silicon optomechanical resonators with frequency up to 1.75 GHz in the ultrahigh frequency band. Optical transduction of the thermal motion of the disks' in-plane vibrational modes yields a displacement sensitivity of 4.1 \times 10^(-17) m/Hz^(1/2). Due to the reduced clamping loss, these disk resonators possess high mechanical quality factors (Q), with the highest value of 4370 for the 1.47 GHz mode measured in ambient air. Numerical simulation on the modal frequency and mechanical Q for disks of varying undercut shows modal coupling and suggests a realistic pedestal size to achieve the highest possible Q.

description: The Detector Control System (DCS) of the COMPASS experiment at CERN is presented. The experiment has a high level of complexity and flexibility and a long time of operation, that constitute a challenge for its full monitorisation and control. A strategy to use a limited number of standardised, cost-effective, industrial solutions of hardware and software was pursued. When such solutions were not available or could not be used, customised solutions were developed.

The Blackbody Radiation Spectrum Follows from Zero-Point Radiation and the Structure of Relativistic Spacetime in Classical Physics
Creators: name: Boyer, Timothy H.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2011
Subjects: subject: Classical Physics (physics.class-ph)

description: The analysis of this article is entirely within classical physics. Any attempt to describe nature within classical physics requires the presence of Lorentz-invariant classical electromagnetic zero-point radiation so as to account for the Casimir forces between parallel conducting plates at low temperatures. Furthermore, conformal symmetry carries solutions of Maxwell's equations into solutions. In an inertial frame, conformal symmetry leaves zero-point radiation invariant and does not connect it to non-zero-temperature; time-dilating conformal transformations carry the Lorentz-invariant zero-point radiation spectrum into zero-point radiation and carry the thermal radiation spectrum at non-zero temperature into thermal radiation at a different non-zero-temperature. However, in a non-inertial frame, a time-dilating conformal transformation carries classical zero-point radiation into thermal radiation at a finite non-zero-temperature. By taking the no-acceleration limit, one can obtain the Planck radiation spectrum for blackbody radiation in an inertial frame from the thermal radiation spectrum in an accelerating frame. Here this connection between zero-point radiation and thermal radiation is illustrated for a scalar radiation field in a Rindler frame undergoing relativistic uniform proper acceleration through flat spacetime in two spacetime dimensions. The analysis indicates that the Planck radiation spectrum for thermal radiation follows from zero-point radiation and the structure of relativistic spacetime in classical physics.

description: In this paper we discuss two main problems associated with the analysis of the data from LISA Pathfinder (LPF): i) Excess noise detection and ii) Noise parameter identification. The mission is focused on the low frequency region ([0.1; 10] mHz) of the available signal spectrum. In such a region the signal is dominated by the force noise acting on test masses. Noise analysis is expected to deal with a limited amount of non-Gaussian data, since the spectrum statistics will be far from Gaussian and the lowest available frequency is limited by the data length. In this paper we analyze the details of the expected statistics for spectral data and develop two suitable excess noise estimators. One is based on the statistical properties of the integrated spectrum, the other is based on Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. The sensitivity of the estimators is discussed theoretically for independent data, then the algorithms are tested on LPF synthetic data. The test on realistic LPF data allows the effect of spectral data correlations on the efficiency of the different noise excess estimators to be highlighted. It also reveals the versatility of the Kolmogorov-Smirnov approach, which can be adapted to provide reasonable results on correlated data from a modified version of the standard equations for the inversion of the test statistic. Closely related to excess noise detection, the problem of noise parameter identification in non-Gaussian data is approached in two ways. One procedure is based on maximum likelihood estimator and another is based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov goodness of fit estimator. Both approaches provide unbiased and accurate results for noise parameter estimation and demonstrate superior performance with respect to standard weighted least-squares and Huber's norm.

description: We investigate analytically and numerically the spatial structure of the non-equilibrium stationary states (NESS) of a point particle moving in a two dimensional periodic Lorentz gas (Sinai Billiard). The particle is subject to a constant external electric field E as well as a Gaussian thermostat which keeps the speed |v| constant. We show that despite the singular nature of the SRB measure its projections on the space coordinates are absolutely continuous. We further show that these projections satisfy linear response laws for small E. Some of them are computed numerically. We compare these results with those obtained from simple models in which the collisions with the obstacles are replaced by random collisions.Similarities and differences are noted.
