description: Search results are presented for physics beyond the standard model in final states with two opposite-charge, same-flavor leptons, jets, and missing transverse momentum. The data sample corresponds to an integrated luminosity of 35.9 fb$^{-1}$ of proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s} = $ 13 TeV collected with the CMS detector at the LHC in 2016. The analysis uses the invariant mass of the lepton pair, searching for a kinematic edge or a resonant-like excess compatible with the Z boson mass. The search for a kinematic edge targets production of particles sensitive to the strong force, while the resonance search targets both strongly and electroweakly produced new physics. The observed yields are consistent with the expectations from the standard model, and the results are interpreted in the context of simplified models of supersymmetry. In a gauge mediated supersymmetry breaking (GMSB) model of gluino pair production with decay chains including Z bosons, gluino masses up to 1500-1770 GeV are excluded at the 95% confidence level depending on the lightest neutralino mass. In a model of electroweak chargino-neutralino production, chargino masses as high as 610 GeV are excluded when the lightest neutralino is massless. In GMSB models of electroweak neutralino-neutralino production, neutralino masses up to 500-650 GeV are excluded depending on the decay mode assumed. Finally, in a model with bottom squark pair production and decay chains resulting in a kinematic edge in the dilepton invariant mass distribution, bottom squark masses up to 980-1200 GeV are excluded depending on the mass of the next-to-lightest neutralino.

Hormonal regulation of male reproductive phenotype in a cooperatively breeding tropical bird

Subjects: Fairy wrens -- Reproduction -- Endocrine aspects

description: Androgens regulate male reproductive behaviour and may be a mechanistic link between sexual signals and physiological condition. However, the role of these hormones in regulating pre-nuptial moult and male plumage signals of passerine birds is unclear. In the red-backed fairy-wren (Malurus melanocephalus), plumage colour is a sexually selected trait and males exhibit three reproductive phenotypes. Males can breed in red and black plumage, breed in brown plumage, or assume brown plumage and act as non-breeding auxiliaries: each phenotype differs in parental and reproductive behaviour. We found that both plasma androgen concentrations and body condition differed significantly among male phenotypes, with red/black breeding males having the highest androgen levels and best condition and auxiliaries the lowest levels and poorest condition. These differences were present during the pre-nuptial moult when nuptial plumage is acquired and androgen concentrations were positively correlated with body condition at that time. While androgens appear to be involved in regulating these alternative reproductive phenotypes, their function may be mediated by the avian glucocorticoid stress hormone, corticosterone (CORT). We tested the hypothesis that CORT regulates breeding status by suppressing breeding in auxiliary males and mediating the relationship between body condition, testosterone, and production of plumage signals. Contrary to our predictions, subordinate auxiliary males and dominant red/black breeding males had similar levels of baseline CORT. Additionally, we found no correlation between CORT and body condition and a positive rather than negative association between molting male CORT and androgens. Thus, honesty of male red-backed fairy-wren plumage signals may be enforced by the relationship between body condition and androgens without the mediating influence of CORT. Finally, we experimentally tested the hypothesis that red/black plumage color is testosterone (T: androgen) dependent using T, control, and anti-T implants. We found that, relative to controls, both T and anti-T treatment stimulated early onset of the pre-nuptial molt, lead to the production of bright plumage, influenced feather length, and differentially effected body morphology. Across all combined characters, anti-T males produced an intermediate phenotype to T and control males. Thus, bright plumage production is T dependent but T may not be the only hormonal mechanism functioning.

title: Transnational cultural market

Publisher: name: Washington State University

Subjects: Cross-cultural orientation

description: Between 1920 and 1946, the national cultures of Mexico and the United States entered upon a general path of convergence. This dissertation argues that three major agents were responsible for accelerating the transmission of culture across the border. Government officials, private businessmen, and common migrants usually pursued their country's or their own economic betterment, but as they did so they pushed or pulled culture into a new national setting. Often a combination of two or more of the group's efforts was necessary for cultural transmission to occur. Mexico's government, for example, contracted American corporate capital and construction expertise in the 1930s to develop the national highway system, which then enabled Mexican migrants to travel northbound and American tourists to come south. In the early 1940s, the American government welcomed Mexican "bracero" workers, who frequently then transformed the culture of their new localities. These confluences of government, corporate, and migrant activities produced a broad transnational cultural market in which people exchanged goods, practices, and ideas that originated from abroad. The cultural market concept emphasizes the interplay of state and market forces for transmitting foreign culture in this case study of Mexico and the United States. As the governments and peoples of both countries began to shed their historical mistrust of each other, more cultural interaction transpired within an increasingly connected bi-national capitalistic system. The concept also notes, however, the agency of individuals in the story. Ambassadors and presidents advanced or retarded cultural relations by showing more or less understanding of and respect for their counterparts' culture throughout the decades. Common individuals, meanwhile, often had the capability to accept or reject the cultural offerings advanced to them by government or corporate representatives. This freedom to act and thus exchange within a transnational cultural market seems generally to apply when societies are for the most part capitalistic and democratic.

Combinatorial properties of nonnegative and eventually nonnegative matrices
Creators: name: Morris, Deanne
Publisher: name: Washington State University
Year: 2008
Subjects: Combinatorial analysis

description: Nonnegative and eventually nonnegative matrices are useful in many areas of mathematics and have been widely studied. Perhaps the most famous results pertaining to nonnegative matrices are due to Perron and Frobenius and have prompted much further research. In this thesis, we investigate the combinatorial structure of nonnegative and eventually nonnegative matrices as it relates to the (peripheral) Jordan form of the matrices. Information obtained from the level form of a nonnegative matrix is used to gain insight into the Jordan form of the matrix, and vice-versa. In this paper, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for a set of Jordan blocks to correspond to the peripheral spectrum of a nonnegative matrix. For each eigenvalue, [lambda], the [lambda]-level characteristic (with respect to the spectral radius) is defined. The necessary and sufficient conditions include a requirement that the [lambda]-level characteristic is majorized by the [lambda]-height characteristic. An algorithm which has been implemented in MATLAB is given to determine when a multiset of Jordan blocks corresponds to the peripheral spectrum of a nonnegative matrix. We also consider the Jordan form of an eventually nonnegative matrix. It is known that the necessary and sufficient conditions for a multiset of Jordan blocks to correspond to the peripheral Jordan form of an eventually nonnegative matrix coincide exactly with the necessary and sufficient conditions for a multiset of Jordan blocks to correspond to the peripheral Jordan form of a nonnegative matrix. We take a closer look at the Jordan blocks associated with eigenvalues of smaller magnitude. Multiple sufficient conditions on the Jordan form of an (eventually) nonnegative matrix are given. We also offer necessary and sufficient conditions on the Jordan form of an eventually nonnegative matrix.

description: We study the stabilization of an isolated magnetic skyrmion in a magnetic monolayer on a nonmagnetic conducting substrate via the Ruderman-Kittel-Kasuya-Yosida (RKKY) exchange interaction. Two different types of the substrate are considered, usual normal metal and single-layer graphene. While the full stability analysis for skyrmions in the presence of the RKKY coupling requires a separate effort that is outside the scope of this work, we are able to study the radial stability (stability of a skyrmion against collapse) using variational energy estimates obtained within first-order perturbation theory, with the unperturbed Hamiltonian describing the isotropic Heisenberg magnet, and the two perturbations being the RKKY exchange and the easy-axis anisotropy. We show that a proper treatment of the long-range nature of the RKKY interaction leads to a qualitatively different stabilization scenario compared to previous studies, where solitons were stabilized by the frustrated exchange coupling (leading to terms with the fourth power of the magnetization gradients) or by the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (described by terms linear in the magnetization gradients). In the case of a metallic substrate, the skyrmion stabilization is possible under restrictive conditions on the Fermi surface parameters, while in the case of a graphene substrate the stabilization is naturally achieved in several geometries with a lattice-matching of graphene and magnetic layer.

description: The objective of this article is to address the discretisation of fractured/faulted poromechanical models using 3D polyhedral meshes in order to cope with the geometrical complexity of faulted geological models.
 A polytopal scheme is proposed for contact-mechanics, based on a mixed formulation combining a fully discrete space and suitable reconstruction operators for the displacement field with a face-wise constant approximation of the Lagrange multiplier accounting for the surface tractions along the fracture/fault network. To ensure the inf--sup stability of the mixed formulation, a bubble-like degree of freedom is included in the discrete space of displacements (and taken into account in the reconstruction operators). It is proved that this fully discrete scheme for the displacement is equivalent to a low-order Virtual Element scheme, with a bubble enrichment of the VEM space. This $\mathbb{P}^1$-bubble VEM--$\mathbb{P}^0$ mixed discretization is combined with an Hybrid Finite Volume scheme for the Darcy flow. All together, the proposed approach is adapted to complex geometry accounting for network of planar faults/fractures including corners, tips and intersections; it leads to efficient semi-smooth Newton solvers for the contact-mechanics and preserve the dissipative properties of the fully coupled model. Our approach is investigated in terms of convergence and robustness on several 2D and 3D test cases using either analytical or numerical reference solutions both for the stand alone static contact mechanical model and the fully coupled poromechanical model.

description: We present a new method to quantify the value of the escape fraction of ionizing photons, and the existence of ultra-faint galaxies clustered around brighter objects during the epoch of cosmic reionization, using the diffuse Ly$α$, continuum and H$α$ emission observed around galaxies at $z\sim6$. We model the surface brightness profiles of the diffuse halos considering the fluorescent emission powered by ionizing photons escaping from the central galaxies, and the nebular emission from satellite star-forming sources, by extending the formalisms developed in Mas-Ribas & Dijkstra (2016) and Mas-Ribas et al. (2017). The comparison between our predicted profiles and Ly$α$ observations at $z=5.7$ and $z=6.6$ favors a low ionizing escape fraction, $f_{\rm esc}^{\rm ion}\sim5\%$, for galaxies in the range $-19\gtrsim M_{\rm UV} \gtrsim -21.5$. However, uncertainties and possible systematics in the observations do not allow for firm conclusions. We predict H$α$ and rest-frame visible continuum observations with JWST, and show that JWST will be able to detect extended (a few tens of kpc) fluorescent H$α$ emission powered by ionizing photons escaping from a bright, $L\gtrsim 5L^*$, galaxy. Such observations can differentiate fluorescent emission from nebular emission by satellite sources. We discuss how observations and stacking of several objects may provide unique constraints on the escape fraction for faint galaxies and/or the abundance of ultra-faint radiation sources.

description: Massive fields can imprint unique oscillatory features on primordial correlation functions or inflationary correlators, which is dubbed the cosmological collider signal. In this work, we analytically investigate the effects of a time-dependent mass of a scalar field on inflationary correlators, extending previous numerical studies and implementing techniques developed in the cosmological bootstrap program. The time-dependent mass is in general induced by couplings to the slow-roll inflaton background, with particularly significant effects in the case of non-derivative couplings. By linearly approximating the time dependence, the mode function of the massive scalar is computed analytically, on which we derive analytic formulae for two-, three-, and four-point correlators with the tree-level exchange of the massive scalar. The obtained formulae are utilized to discuss the phenomenological impacts on the power spectrum and bispectrum, and it is found that the scaling behavior of the bispectrum in the squeezed configuration, i.e., the cosmological collider signal, is modified from a time-dependent Boltzmann suppression. By investigating the scaling behavior in detail, we are in principle able to determine the non-derivative couplings between the inflaton and the massive particle.

description: By using high pressure synthesis method, we have fabricated the potassium doped para-terphenyl. The temperature dependence of magnetization measured in both zero-field-cooled and field-cooled processes shows step like transitions at about 125 K. This confirms earlier report about the possible superconductivity like transition in the same system. However, the magnetization hysteresis loop exhibits a weak ferromagnetic background. After removing this ferromagnetic background, a Meissner effect like magnetic shielding can be found. A simple estimate on the diamagnetization of this step tells that the diamagnetic volume is only about 0.0427% at low temperatures, if we assume the penetration depth is much smaller than the size of possible superconducting grains. This magnetization transition does not shift with magnetic field but is suppressed and becomes almost invisible above 1.0 T. The resistivity measurements are failed because of an extremely large resistance. By using the same method, we also fabricated the potassium doped para-quaterphenyl. A similar step like transition at about 125 K was also observed by magnetization measurement. Since there is an unknown positive background and the diamagnetic volume is too small, it is insufficient to conclude that this step is derived from superconductivity although it looks like.

Subjects: College students -- Religious life

description: This phenomenological study explores the spiritual development of 16 undergraduate students attending a public university. Student participants interviewed represented a wide range of spiritual backgrounds including: atheist, Christian, Buddhist, agnostic, Unitarian Universalist, and Jewish. Results indicate that participants entered the university environment as a certain type of spiritual seeker, which influenced how they perceived and engaged the general community, the campus climate, other students, the classroom, and social groups. Participants struggled to integrate their spiritual life with a campus climate and curriculum that emphasized a rational, empirical, modern, and scientific epistemology. As a result, participants lacked an understanding of how to fulfill their passions or purpose after graduation. Participants did not engage in authentic dialogue with much frequency due to a campus culture and societal norms that do not foster authentic dialogue. As a result, they often felt like minorities on campus and lacked mentoring relationships associated with the university. Conclusions and implications of the study concerning research, theory, and practice are reported.

Applying inversion techniques to conveniently simplified versions of the homogeneous Bethe-Salpeter equation, governing bound states in quantum field theory, enables us to get along a straightforward route a qualitative idea of how the underlying effective interaction might look like.

description: The local electric field gradients and magnetic dynamics of TaSb$_2$ have been studied using $^{121}$Sb, $^{123}$Sb, and $^{181}$Ta nuclear quadrupole resonance (NQR) with density functional theory (DFT) calculations using XRD-determined crystal structures. By measuring all structurally expected thirteen NQR lines, the nuclear quadrupole coupling constant ($ν_Q$) and asymmetric parameter ($η$) for Ta, Sb(1), and Sb(2) sites were obtained. These values are all in good agreement with the presented DFT calculations. Principal axes of the electric field gradients was determined for a single-crystal sample by measuring the angular dependencies of NMR frequency under a weak magnetic field. The unusual temperature dependence of $η$(T) of Sb(2) hints at the suppressed thermal expansion along the $a$-axis. Spin lattice relaxation rate ($1/T_1T$) measurements reveal an activated-type behavior and an upturn below 30 K. Neither the low temperature upturn nor the high temperature activation type behaviors are reproduced by the calculated $1/T_1T$ based on the calculated density of states (DOS). On the other hand, the agreement between the calculated DOS and specific heat measurements indicates that the band renormalization is small. This fact indicates that TaSb$_2$ deviates from the simple semimetal scenario, and magnetic excitations are not captured by Fermi liquid theory.

Defining and assessing academic advising for athletic training education programs

Subjects: Physical education and training

description: The purposes of this study were to describe and analyze the perceptions of students enrolled in athletic training education programs about their academic advising experiences, to develop an electronic survey instrument for collecting data about those perceptions, and to use the collected data as part of the validation of the instrument. The instrument was developed based on a review of the literature in academic advising, athletic training, and Personal Investment Theory (PIT). This theory provided the lens to begin to examine, resolve, and address weakness in research and theory pertaining to academic advising.
description: Two hundred and fifty-eight randomly selected athletic training students representing 3 7 CAAHEP (now CAATE) accredited programs in the western United States were invited to complete the Student Survey on Academic Advising (SSAA). Eighty one percent of the students responded to the SSAA. The mean for each of the items on the SSAA ranged from 1.3 -2.6 on a 5 point Likert scale indicating agreement. Generally, respondents indicated a favorable perception of their academic advising experiences. A factor analysis of the instrument identified three factors: Self, Behaviors, and Environment. The three factors were consistent with the three components of the theory and accounted for 63 % of the total variance. The alpha reliability for the three factors demonstrated internal consistency with observed coefficients of .95 (Self), .95 (Behaviors), and .92 (Environment). Correlations between the three factors were calculated and provided evidence of covariation: Selfto Behavior= .84, Environment to Self= .78; and Environment to Behavior = .83. The degree of observed overlap between the factors is consistent with PIT. The results of the data analysis obtained through this study provide increased knowledge and understanding for the role of academic advising in athletic training. In addition, the SSAA, based on Personal Investment Theory, is a statistically valid instrument by which assessment of athletic training students perceptions of their academic advising experience can be measured.

description: Police members can be exposed to morally transgressive events with potential for lasting psychosocial and spiritual harm. Through interviews with police members and police chaplains across Australia and New Zealand, this qualitative study explores the current role that police chaplains play in supporting members exposed to morally transgressive events. The availability of chaplains across police services and the close alignment between the support they offer, and the support sought by police, indicates they have an important role. However, a holistic approach should also consider organizational factors, the role of leaders, and access to evidence-based treatment in collaboration with mental health practitioners.

description: If the mass excess of neutron-deficient nuclei and their neutron-rich mirror partners are both known, it can be shown that deviations of the Isobaric Mass Multiplet Equation (IMME) in the form of a cubic term can be probed. Such a cubic term was probed by using the atomic mass of neutron-rich magnesium isotopes measured using the TITAN Penning trap and the recently measured proton-separation energies of $^{29}$Cl and $^{30}$Ar. The atomic mass of $^{27}$Mg was found to be within 1.6$σ$ of the value stated in the Atomic Mass Evaluation. The atomic masses of $^{28,29}$Mg were measured to be both within 1$σ$, while being 8 and 34 times more precise, respectively. Using the $^{29}$Mg mass excess and previous measurements of $^{29}$Cl we uncovered a cubic coefficient of $d$ = 28(7) keV, which is the largest known cubic coefficient of the IMME. This departure, however, could also be caused by experimental data with unknown systematic errors. Hence there is a need to confirm the mass excess of $^{28}$S and the one-neutron separation energy of $^{29}$Cl, which have both come from a single measurement. Finally, our results were compared to ab initio calculations from the valence-space in-medium similarity renormalization group, resulting in a good agreement.

description: Context : Highly-collimated outflows are believed to be the earliest stage in outflow evolution, so their study is essential for understanding the processes driving outflows. The BHR71 Bok globule is known to harbour such a highly-collimated outflow, which is powered by a protostar belonging to a protobinary system. Aims : We aimed at investigating the interaction of collimated outflows with the ambient molecular cloud by using molecular tracers. Methods : We mapped the BHR71 highly-collimated outflow in CO(3-2) with the APEX telescope, and observed several bright points of the outflow in the molecular transitions CO(4-3), 13CO(3-2), C18O(3-2), and CH3OH(7-6). We use an LVG code to characterise the temperature enhancements in these regions. Results : In our CO(3-2) map, the second outflow driven by IRS2, which is the second source of the binary system, is completely revealed and shown to be bipolar. We also measure temperature enhancements in the lobes. The CO and methanol LVG modelling points to temperatures between 30 and 50K in the IRS1 outflow, while the IRS2 outflow seems to be warmer (up to 300K).

Subjects: Educational leadership

description: In the current era of school reform, school district personnel are looking for decision making processes that lead to a transformation of both beliefs and practices. The purpose of this dissertation, then, is to describe and explain data gathered in two high schools implementing reform. Collection of evidence took place in two high schools with similar demographics. Data were gathered through observations of teacher collaborative sessions as well as formal and informal interviews. This qualitative study developed understandings around the following research questions: What did the work of leadership by administrators and teachers look like when implementing reform? How did administrators and teachers respond to the challenges of reform to their beliefs, values, and practices? What were the difficulties and obstacles to leadership around the work of reform? Two theories, Heifetz's model of Adaptive Leadership and March's Garbage Can Theory of Decision Making, were used to analyze data and describe how administrators and teachers were transitioning to new standardized expectations. Findings include an integrated typology for leadership that incorporates rational and non- rational decision making processes as well as the risk and work avoidance behaviors associated with the difficulties of educational reform evident in these two high schools.

description: We examine the internal structure of the $Λ(1670)$ through an analysis of lattice QCD simulations and experimental data within Hamiltonian effective field theory. Two scenarios are presented. The first describes the $Λ(1670)$ as a bare three-quark basis state, which mixes with the $πΣ$, $\bar{K}N$, $ηΛ$ and $KΞ$ meson-baryon channels. In the second scenario, the $Λ(1670)$ is dynamically generated from these isospin-0 coupled channels. The $K^-p$ scattering data and the pole structures of the $Λ(1405)$ and the $Λ(1670)$ can be simultaneously described well in both scenarios. However, a comparison of the finite-volume spectra to lattice QCD calculations reveals significant differences between these scenarios, with a clear preference for the first case. Thus the lattice QCD results play a crucial role in allowing us to distinguish between these two scenarios for the internal structure of the $Λ(1670)$.

description: Persistent homology typically studies the evolution of homology groups $H_p(X)$ (with coefficients in a field) along a filtration of topological spaces. $A_\infty$-persistence extends this theory by analysing the evolution of subspaces such as $V := \text{Ker}\, {Δ_n}_{| H_p(X)} \subseteq H_p(X)$, where $\{Δ_m\}_{m\geq1}$ denotes a structure of $A_\infty$-coalgebra on $H_*(X)$. In this paper we illustrate how $A_\infty$-persistence can be useful beyond persistent homology by discussing the topological meaning of $V$, which is the most basic form of $A_\infty$-persistence group. In addition, we explore how to choose $A_\infty$-coalgebras along a filtration to make the $A_\infty$-persistence groups carry more faithful information.

description: We identify a horseshoe-shaped ring (HSR) of diffuse emission in J1407+0453 from the Faint Images of Radio Sky at Twenty-cm (FIRST) survey using the Very Large Array telescope. An optical galaxy SDSSJ140709.01+045302.1 is present near the limb of the HSR of J1407+0453, with a spectroscopic redshift of $z=0.13360$. The total extent of the source, including the diffuse emission of J1407+0453, is 65 arcsec (with a physical extent of 160 kpc), whereas the diameter of the HSR is approximately 10 arcsec (25 kpc). The flux density of HSR is $\sim$47 mJy at 1400 MHz whereas the flux densities of whole diffuse emission of J1407+0453 at 1400 MHz and 150 MHz are 172 mJy and 763 mJy, respectively. We measure the radio luminosity of HSR J1407+0453 as 1.94 $\times 10^{24}$ W Hz$^{-1}$ with a spectral index $α_{150}^{1400}=-0.67$. The black hole mass of J1407+0453 is 5.8$\times10^8$ M$_{\odot}$. We compare the HSR of diffuse emission of J1407+0453 with other discovered diffused circular sources. The possible formation scenarios for J1407+0453 are discussed to understand the nature of the source. We present a spectral index map of J1407+0453 to study the spectral properties of the source.

description: Researchers have recently recognized the importance of social context for developing a more complete understanding of the sentencing process where community characteristics help to account for variation in sentencing practices from one legal jurisdiction to the next. Similar developments, however, have been nearly absent in the study of prosecutorial decision making. This is particularly important in light of recent sentencing reforms (e.g., sentencing guidelines) that have essentially acted to reduce judicial discretion while simultaneously increasing prosecutorial discretion. Given the fact that prosecutors have the authority to determine whether defendants will face criminal charges, what those charges will be, the number of charges to pursue, and whether charges will be discontinued, it is critical to expand our understanding of how social context might influence not only judicial discretion, but also prosecutorial discretion. To accomplish this task, the current research has identified several connections between prosecutorial decision making and community context. Each connection was derived from existing theoretical frameworks, including racial and economic threat theories, the crime control hypothesis, the organizational efficiency hypothesis, the political conservatism hypothesis, and the southern subculture of punitiveness hypothesis. The potential links between prosecutorial discretion and community context were tested using a sample of 15,669 felony defendants processed in 39 of the nation's 75 largest counties; specific measures of community context were provided by a county-level data set with relevant information for each of the 39 jurisdictions. The results of hierarchical generalized linear models indicate that an important prosecutorial outcome--case dismissal--varies across the counties included in the analysis and community context is, in fact, important for understanding this variation. Theoretical, research, and policy implications of the current findings are discussed at length.
3d N=4 Super-Yang-Mills on a Lattice

description: In this paper we explore a new approach to studying three-dimensional N=4 super-Yang-Mills on a lattice. Our strategy is to complexify the Donaldson-Witten twist of four-dimensional N=2 super-Yang-Mills to make it amenable to a lattice formulation and we find that lattice gauge invariance forces the model to live in at most three dimensions. We analyze the renormalization of the lattice theory and show that uncomplexified three-dimensional N=4 super-Yang-Mills can be reached in the continuum limit by supplementing the lattice action with appropriate mass terms.

description: We investigate the problem of factorization of large numbers on a quantum computer which we imagine to be realized within a linear ion trap. We derive upper bounds on the size of the numbers that can be factorized on such a quantum computer. These upper bounds are independent of the power of the applied laser. We investigate two possible ways to implement qubits, in metastable optical transitions and in Zeeman sublevels of a stable ground state, and show that in both cases the numbers that can be factorized are not large enough to be of practical interest. We also investigate the effect of quantum error correction on our estimates and show that in realistic systems the impact of quantum error correction is much smaller than expected. Again no number of practical interest can be factorized.
