description: Generating large multiphoton entangled states is of main interest due to enabling universal photonic quantum computing and all-optical quantum repeater nodes. These applications exploit measurement-based quantum computation using cluster states. Remarkably, it was shown that photonic cluster states of arbitrary size can be generated by using feasible heralded linear optics fusion gates that act on heralded three-photon Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger (GHZ) states as the initial resource state. Thus, the capability of generating heralded GHZ states is of great importance for scaling up photonic quantum computing. Here, we experimentally demonstrate this required building block by reporting a polarisation-encoded heralded GHZ state of three photons, for which we build a high-rate six-photon source ($547{\pm}2$ Hz) from a solid-state quantum emitter and a stable polarisation-based interferometer. The detection of three ancillary photons heralds the generation of three-photon GHZ states among the remaining particles with fidelities up to $\mathcal{F}=0.7278{\pm}0.0106$. Our results initiate a path for scalable entangling operations using heralded linear-optics implementations.

description: We present the results from a $\sim500$ ks Chandra observation of the $z=6.31$ QSO SDSS J1030+0524. This is the deepest X-ray observation to date of a $z\sim6$ QSO. The QSO is detected with a total of 125 net counts in the full ($0.5-7$ keV) band and its spectrum can be modeled by a single power-law model with photon index of $Γ= 1.81 \pm 0.18$ and full band flux of $f=3.95\times 10^{-15}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$. When compared with the data obtained by XMM-Newton in 2003, our Chandra observation in 2017 shows a harder ($ΔΓ\approx -0.6$) spectrum and a 2.5 times fainter flux. Such a variation, in a timespan of $\sim2$ yrs rest-frame, is unexpected for such a luminous QSO powered by a $> 10^9 \: M_{\odot}$ black hole. The observed source hardening and weakening could be related to an intrinsic variation in the accretion rate. However, the limited photon statistics does not allow us to discriminate between an intrinsic luminosity and spectral change, and an absorption event produced by an intervening gas cloud along the line of sight. We also report the discovery of diffuse X-ray emission that extends for 30"x20" southward the QSO with a signal-to-noise ratio of $\sim$6, hardness ratio of $HR=0.03_{-0.25}^{+0.20}$, and soft band flux of $f_{0.5-2 \: keV}= 1.1_{-0.3}^{+0.3} \times 10^{-15}$ erg s$^{-1}$ cm$^{-2}$, that is not associated to a group or cluster of galaxies. We discuss two possible explanations for the extended emission, which may be either associated with the radio lobe of a nearby, foreground radio galaxy (at $z \approx 1-2$), or ascribed to the feedback from the QSO itself acting on its surrounding environment, as proposed by simulations of early black hole formation.

Two Stellar Mass Functions Combined into One by the Random Sampling Model of the IMF
Creators: name: Elmegreen, Bruce
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The turnover in the stellar initial mass function (IMF) at low mass suggests the presence of two independent mass functions that combine in different ways above and below a characteristic mass given by the thermal Jeans mass in the cloud. In the random sampling model introduced earlier, the Salpeter IMF at intermediate to high mass follows primarily from the hierarchical structure of interstellar clouds, which is sampled by various star formation processes and converted into stars at the local dynamical rate. This power law part is independent of the details of star formation inside each clump and therefore has a universal character. The flat part of the IMF at low mass is proposed here to result from a second, unrelated, physical process that determines only the probability distribution function for final star mass inside a clump of a given mass, and is independent of both this clump mass and the overall cloud structure. Both processes operate for all potentially unstable clumps in a cloud, regardless of mass, but only the first shows up above the thermal Jeans mass, and only the second shows up below this mass. Analytical and stochastic models of the IMF that are based on the uniform application of these two functions for all masses reproduce the observations well.

Calculation of 1/m^3 terms in the total semileptonic width of D mesons.

description: We calculate the 1/$m^3_c$ corrections in the inclusive semileptonic widths of $D$ mesons. We show that these are due to the novel penguin type operators that appear at this level in the transition operator. Taking into account the nonperturbative corrections leads to the predicted value of the semileptonic width significantly lower than the experimental value. The $1/m^3_c$ worsen the situation or at the very least, within uncertainty, give small contribution. We indicate possible ways out. It seems most probable that violations of duality are noticeable in the energy range characteristic to the inclusive decays in the charm family. Theoretically these deviations are related to divergence of the high-order terms in the power expansion in the inverse heavy quark mass.

description: The Quantum Max Cut (QMC) problem has emerged as a test-problem for designing approximation algorithms for local Hamiltonian problems. In this paper we attack this problem using the algebraic structure of QMC, in particular the relationship between the quantum max cut Hamiltonian and the representation theory of the symmetric group.
 The first major contribution of this paper is an extension of non-commutative Sum of Squares (ncSoS) optimization techniques to give a new hierarchy of relaxations to Quantum Max Cut. The hierarchy we present is based on optimizations over polynomials in the qubit swap operators. This is in contrast to the "standard" quantum Lasserre Hierarchy, which is based on polynomials expressed in terms of the Pauli matrices. To prove correctness of this hierarchy, we exploit a finite presentation of the algebra generated by the qubit swap operators. This presentation allows for the use of computer algebraic techniques to manipulate and simplify polynomials written in terms of the swap operators, and may be of independent interest. Surprisingly, we find that level-2 of this new hierarchy is numerically exact (up to tolerance 10^(-7)) on all QMC instances with uniform edge weights on graphs with at most 8 vertices.
 The second major contribution of this paper is a polynomial-time algorithm that computes (in exact arithmetic) the maximum eigenvalue of the QMC Hamiltonian for certain graphs, including graphs that can be "decomposed" as a signed combination of cliques. A special case of the latter are complete bipartite graphs with uniform edge-weights, for which exact solutions are known from the work of Lieb and Mattis. Our methods, which use representation theory of the symmetric group, can be seen as a generalization of the Lieb-Mattis result.

Cellulose nanopaper as two-dimensional reinforcement for polymers
Creators: name: Santmarti Sanz, Alba
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: This thesis investigates the use of cellulose nanopaper as two-dimensional reinforcement for polymers. It was found that the introduction of bacterial cellulose (BC) nanopaper into a poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) matrix increased its tensile modulus, fracture resistance and Charpy impact strength. Moreover, the obtained BC nanopaper-reinforced PMMA was optically transparent. This thesis also discusses the similarities and differences between BC nanopapers prepared from pristine and disintegrated BC pellicle and compares their reinforcing abilities. It was found that BC nanopaper prepared from pristine BC pellicle had superior tensile modulus and strength as well as better fracture resistance and resin impregnation than BC nanopaper prepared from disintegrated BC pellicle. However, BC nanopaper prepared from pristine BC pellicle was more brittle than its disintegrated counterpart. This thesis also found that BC nanopaper does not exhibit a strain hardening behaviour, with tensile properties decreasing significantly at strain rates equal or higher than 25% s-1. This anomalous tensile response of BC nanopaper was observed to be independent of the grammage of the nanopaper. Creep tests further showed that BC nanopapers showed little deformation under creep. Finally, this thesis also explores the use of low molecular weight poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) to prevent the hornification of cellulose nanofibres.

description: There is a long-standing discrepancy between different measurements of the electric and magnetic radii of the proton. Lattice QCD calculations are a well-suited tool for theoretical investigations of the structure of the nucleon from first principles. However, all previous lattice studies of the proton's electromagnetic radii have either neglected quark-disconnected contributions or were not extrapolated to the continuum and infinite-volume limit. Here, we present results for the electromagnetic form factors of the proton and neutron computed on the $(2 + 1)$-flavor Coordinated Lattice Simulations (CLS) ensembles including both quark-connected and -disconnected contributions. From simultaneous fits to the $Q^2$-, pion-mass, lattice-spacing, and finite-volume dependence of the form factors, we determine the electric and magnetic radii and the magnetic moments of the proton and neutron. For the proton, we obtain as our final values $\langle r_E^2 \rangle^p = (0.672 \pm 0.014$ (stat)${} \pm 0.018$ (syst)$)$ fm${}^2$, $\langle r_M^2 \rangle^p = (0.658 \pm 0.012$ (stat)${} \pm 0.008$ (syst)$)$ fm${}^2$, and $μ_M^p = 2.739 \pm 0.063$ (stat)${} \pm 0.018$ (syst). The magnetic moment is in good agreement with the experimental value, as is the one of the neutron. On the one hand, our result for the electric (charge) radius of the proton clearly points towards a small value, as favored by muonic hydrogen spectroscopy and the recent $ep$-scattering experiment by PRad. Our estimate for the magnetic radius, on the other hand, is well compatible with that inferred from the A1 $ep$-scattering experiment.

description: Gamma-ray burst (GRB) engines are probed most intimately during the prompt gamma-ray luminous phase when the expanding blast wave is closest to the explosion center. Using GRBs 990123 and 940217 as guides, we briefly review observations of high-energy emission from GRBs and summarize some problems in GRB physics. γγtransparency arguments imply relativistic beaming. The parameters that go into the external shock model are stated, and we show numerical simulation results of gamma-ray light curves from relativistic blast waves with different amounts of baryon loading. A distinct component due to the synchrotron self-Compton process produces significant emission at GeV and TeV energies. Predictions for spectral and temporal evolution at these energies are presented for a blast wave expanding into uniform surroundings. Observations of the slow decay of GeV-TeV radiation provide evidence for ultra-high energy cosmic ray acceleration in GRBs.

The result shows that a cut-off can be introduced naturally rather than taking by hand. Furthermore, if the minimal length is chosen to be a specific value, the statistical entropy will satisfy the conventional area law at the horizon, which might reveal some deep things of the minimal length.

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 1999
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We have performed TreeSPH simulations of disk galaxy formation in various warm dark matter (WDM) cosmologies. Our results indicate that for a range of WDM free-streaming masses, the disk galaxy formation angular momentum problem can be completely resolved by going to the WDM structure formation scenario, without having to invoke stellar feedback processes at all. We also confirm our previous suspicion, that part of the angular momentum problem is due to numerical effects, most likely related to the shock capturing, artificial viscosity used in SPH. Furthermore we find that we can match the observed I-band Tully-Fisher (TF) relation, provided that the I-band mass-to-light ratio of disk galaxies is about 0.8. We argue that this is quite a reasonable value in comparison with various dynamical and spectrophotometric estimates, including one given in this paper. We speculate that our success in matching the TF relation may be due to WDM halos being less centrally concentrated than CDM halos and suggest to check this exciting possibility with high resolution simulations, in particular in low Omega_M, WDM cosmologies. Finally, we discuss possible physical candidates for WDM particles extensively. We find that the most promising are neutrinos with weaker or stronger interactions than normal, majorons (light pseudogoldstone bosons) or mirror or shadow world neutrinos.

description: Our understanding of the mechanism by which topological defects are formed in symmetry breaking phase transitions has recently changed. We examine the non-equilibrium dynamics of defect formation for weakly-coupled global O(N) theories possessing vortices (strings) and monopoles. It is seen that, as domains form and grow, defects are swept along on their boundaries at a density of about one defect per coherence area (strings) or per coherence volume (monopoles).

The field was imaged in 4 bandpasses: a clear CCD bandpass for 156 ksec, a long-pass filter for 22-25 ksec per pixel typical exposure, a near-UV bandpass for 23 ksec, and a far-UV bandpass for 52 ksec. The clear visible image is the deepest observation ever made in the UV-optical wavelength region, reaching a 10 sigma AB magnitude of 29.4 for an object of area 0.2 square arcseconds. The field contains QSO J2233-606, the target of the STIS spectroscopy, and extends 50"x50" for the visible images, and 25"x25" for the ultraviolet images. We present the images, catalog of objects, and galaxy counts obtained in the field.

We show that motion through ambient gas can strongly heat Stream clouds, driving mass loss and causing evaporation. If the ambient gas density is too high, then evaporation occurs on unreasonably short timescales. Since heating dominates drag, tidal stripping appears to be responsible for producing the Stream. Requiring the survival of the cloud MS IV for 500 Myr sets an upper limit on the halo gas density n_H< 10^{-5} cm^{-3} at 50 kpc, roughly a factor of 10 lower than that estimated from the drag model of Moore & Davis (1994). Implications for models of the evolution of gas in galaxy halos are discussed.

description: The difference of tau partial decay widths into even and odd number of pions may be considered as another important constraint on the hadronic spectral function, in addition to four classic sum rules of current algebra. Within certain reasonable assumptions its value may be used to test the factorization hypothesis and estimate the contribution of dimension 6 condensates into the tau hadronic decay width.

description: Ab initio molecular dynamics (AIMD) simulations have been performed on aqueous solutions of four simple sugars, α-D-glucose, \b{eta}-D-glucose, α-D-mannose and α-D-galactose. Hydrogen bonding (HB) properties, such as the number of donor and acceptor type HB-s, and the lengths and strengths of hydrogen bonds between sugar and water molecules, have been determined. Related electronic properties, such as the dipole moments of water molecules and partial charges of the sugar O-atoms, have also been calculated. The hydrophilic and hydrophobic shells were characterized by means of spatial distribution functions. \b{eta}-D-glucose has been found to form the highest number of hydrophilic and the smallest number of hydrophobic connections to neighboring water molecules. The average sugar-water H-bond length was the shortest for \b{eta}-D-glucose, which suggests that these are the strongest such H-bonds. Furthermore, \b{eta}-D-glucose appears to stand out in terms of symmetry properties of both its hydrophilic and hydrophobic hydration shells. In summary, in all aspects considered here, there seems to be a correlation between the distinct characteristics of \b{eta}-D-glucose and its outstanding solubility in water.

description: Using two-dimensional simulations of non-radiative viscous rotating black hole accretion flows, we show that the flows with alpha~0.1-0.3 self-organize to form stationary unipolar or bipolar outflows accompanied by global meridional circulations. The required energy comes, with efficiency \~0.001-0.01, from the matter directly accreted onto black hole. Observational implications are discussed.

description: We use the Dirac equation with a ``(asymptotically free) Coulomb + (Lorentz scalar) linear '' potential to estimate the light quark wavefunction for $ q\bar Q$ mesons in the limit $m_Q\to \infty$. We use these wavefunctions to calculate the Isgur-Wise function $ξ(v.v^\prime )$ for orbital and radial ground states in the phenomenologically interesting range $1\leq v.v^ \prime \leq 4$. We find a simple expression for the zero-recoil slope, $ξ^ \prime (1) =-1/2- ε^2 /3$, where $ε$ is the energy eigenvalue of the light quark, which can be identified with the $\barΛ$ parameter of the Heavy Quark Effective Theory. This result implies an upper bound of $-1/2$ for the slope $ξ^\prime (1)$. Also, because for a very light quark $q (q=u, d)$ the size $\sqrt {}$ of the meson is determined mainly by the ``confining'' term in the potential $(γ_\circ σr)$, the shape of $ξ_{u,d}(v.v^\prime )$ is seen to be mostly sensitive to the dimensionless ratio $\bar Λ_{u,d}^2/σ$. We present results for the ranges of parameters $150 MeV

description: The construction and the vibrational performance of a low vibration laboratory for microscopy applications comprising a 100 ton floating foundation supported by passive pneumatic isolators (air springs), which rest themselves on a 200 ton solid base plate is discussed. The optimization of the air spring system lead to a vibration level on the floating floor below that induced by an acceleration of 10 ng for most frequencies. Additional acoustic and electromagnetic isolation is accomplished by a room-in-room concept.

Patent data driven innovation logic
Creators: name: Dewulf, Simon
Publisher: name: Imperial College London
Year: 2020

description: Innovation research is conventionally conducted with creativity techniques such as TRIZ, Mind Mapping, Brainstorming, etc. (Dewulf, Baillie 1998). Patent research is typically used to research novelty or prior art, and legal studies. This thesis is at the intersection of creativity techniques, and patent data analysis. It describes how to utilise patent data for distilling Innovation Logic and conducting innovation research. Using the patent research tool PatentInspiration (© AULIVE Software NV), the 4 different stages of the Innovation Logic approach have been subjected to text analysis in patent literature. The specific text patterns were identified and documented on several case studies, with one case study across the whole thesis: the toothbrush. The opportunities and limitations of Patent Data Driven Innovation Research have been documented and discussed. This methodology has been demonstrated within a proposed structural approach to problem solving, technology marketing and innovation research. Furthermore, the potential of artificial idea generation and artificial creativity was examined and debated for the purpose of computer aided creativity. This thesis examines and confirms three claims: CLAIM 1: PROPERTIES AND FUNCTIONS CAN BE ADJECTIVES AND VERBS IN PATENT LITERATURE CLAIM 2: PATENT DATA ANALYSIS AUGMENTS THE FULL INNOVATION LOGIC PROCESS CLAIM 3: ARTIFICIAL INNOVATION METHODS CAN BE FUELED BY PATENT DATA Patent data can be text mined, acting as a global brain consisting of over 100 million invention documents. It is possible to use this existing data to reverse engineer thinking methodologies, allowing scientists and engineers to solve new problems, invent new products or processes, or find new markets for existing technologies. Patent Data Driven Innovation Logic will demonstrate a systematic innovation approach that combines the force of contemporary data mining methods on patent literature, with a structured innovation research methodology.

description: We describe a ground-based effort to find and study afterglows at centimeter and millimeter wavelengths. We have observed all well-localized gamma-ray bursts in the Northern and Southern sky since BeppoSAX first started providing rapid positions in early 1997. Of the 23 GRBs for which X-ray afterglows have been detected, 10 have optical afterglows and 9 have radio afterglows. A growing number of GRBs have both X-ray and radio afterglows but lack a corresponding optical afterglow.

description: We have used an Imaging Fabry-Perot Spectrophotometer with the Adaptive Optics Bonnette on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope to measure stellar radial velocities in the globular cluster M15. An average seeing of 0.15" full-width at half maximum, with the best-seeing image having 0.09", allowed us to measure accurately the velocities for five stars within 1" of the center of M15. Our estimate of the second moment of the velocity distribution inside a radius of 2" is 11.5 km/s, the same value we find out to a radius of about 6". However, the projected net rotation does increase dramatically at small radii, as our previous observations led us to suspect. The rotation amplitude inside a radius of 3.4" is v = 10.4 +- 2.7 km/s and the dispersion after removing the rotation is sigma = 10.3 +- 1.4 km/s, so v/sigma = 1 in this region. In addition, the position angle (PA) of the projected rotation axis differs by 100 degrees from that of the net cluster rotation at larger radii. Current theoretical models do not predict either this large an increase in the rotation amplitude or such a change in the PA. However, a central mass concentration, such as a black hole, could possibly sustain such a configuration. The rotation increase is consistent with the existence of a central dark mass concentration equal to 2500 M_solar.

description: SECCO1 is an extremely dark, low-mass (M_star=10^5 M_sun), star-forming stellar system lying in the Low Velocity Cloud (LVC) substructure of the Virgo cluster of galaxies, and hosting several HII regions. Here we review our knowledge of this remarkable system, and present the results of (a) additional analysis of our panoramic spectroscopic observations with MUSE, (b) the combined analysis of Hubble Space Telescope and MUSE data, and (c) new narrow-band observations obtained with OSIRIS@GTC to search for additional HII regions in the surroundings of the system. We provide new evidence supporting an age as young as 4 Myr for the stars that are currently ionising the gas in SECCO1. We identify only one new promising candidate HII region possibly associated with SECCO1, thus confirming the extreme isolation of the system. We also identify three additional candidate pressure-supported dark clouds in Virgo among the targets of the SECCO survey. Various possible hypotheses for the nature and origin of SECCO1 are considered and discussed, also with the help of dedicated hydrodynamical simulations showing that a hydrogen cloud with the characteristics of SECCO1 can likely survive for >1 Gyr while traveling within the LVC Intra Cluster Medium.
