A potential multipartide entanglement measure

Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: We discuss entanglement of multiparticle quantum systems. We propose a potential measure of a type of entanglement of pure states of n qubits, the n-tangle. For a system of two qubits the n-tangle is equal to the square of the concurrence, and for systems of three qubits it is equal to the ''residual entanglement''. We show that the n -tangle, is also equal to the generalization of concurrence squared for even n, and use this fact to prove that the n-tangle is an entanglement monotone. However, the n-tangle is undefined for odd n>3. Finally we propose a measure related to the n-tangle for mixed state systems of n qubits, and find an analytical formula for this measure for even n.

description: A subspecies of long-tailed macaques (Macaca fascicularis aurea; Mfa) has been reported to use stone tools and a specific technique to process nuts in Southeast Asia, a behaviour known as ‘pound-hammering’. The aim of this study was to examine the development of pound-hammering in long-tailed macaques: whether this behavioural form can be individually learnt or whether it has to rely on some forms of social learning. Given the absence of Mfa from captivity, long-tailed macaques of a highly related subspecies (Macaca fascicularis fascicularis; Mff) were experimentally tested by providing them with the ecological materials necessary to show pound-hammering. A baseline was first carried out to observe whether pound-hammering would emerge spontaneously without social information. As this was not the case, different degrees of social information, culminating in a full demonstration of the behaviour, were provided. None of the subjects (n = 31) showed pound-hammering in any of the individual or social learning conditions. Although these data do not support the hypothesis that individual learning underlies this behaviour, no evidence was found that (at least) Mff learn pound-hammering socially either. We propose that other—potentially interacting—factors may determine whether this behaviour emerges in the various subspecies of long-tailed macaques, and provide a novel methodology to test the role of social and individual learning in the development of animal tool-use.

description: In this review, we describe the potentialities offered by the nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique to explore at a microscopic level new quantum states of condensed matter induced by high magnetic fields. We focus on experiments realised in resistive (up to 34~T) or hybrid (up to 45~T) magnets, which open a large access to these quantum phase transitions. After an introduction on NMR observable, we consider several topics: quantum spin systems (spin-Peierls transition, spin ladders, spin nematic phases, magnetisation plateaus and Bose-Einstein condensation of triplet excitations), the field-induced charge density wave (CDW) in high $T_c$~superconductors, and exotic superconductivity including the Fulde-Ferrel-Larkin-Ovchinnikov superconducting state and the field-induced superconductivity due to the Jaccarino-Peter mechanism.

The B-field soft theorem and its unification with the graviton and dilaton

Year: 2017

description: In theories of Einstein gravity coupled with a dilaton and a two-form, a soft theorem for the two-form, known as the Kalb-Ramond B-field, has so far been missing. In this work we fill the gap, and in turn formulate a unified soft theorem valid for gravitons, dilatons and B-fields in any tree-level scattering amplitude involving the three massless states. The new soft theorem is fixed by means of on-shell gauge invariance and enters at the subleading order of the graviton's soft theorem. In contrast to the subsubleading soft behavior of gravitons and dilatons, we show that the soft behavior of B-fields at this order cannot be fully fixed by gauge invariance. Nevertheless, we show that it is possible to establish a gauge invariant decomposition of the amplitudes to any order in the soft expansion. We check explicitly the new soft theorem in the bosonic string and in Type II superstring theories, and furthermore demonstrate that, at the next order in the soft expansion, totally gauge invariant terms appear in both string theories which cannot be factorized into a soft theorem.

description: Energetic particles that undergo strong pitch-angle scattering and diffuse through a plasma containing strong compressible MHD turbulence undergo diffusion in momentum space with diffusion coefficient Dp. In this paper, the contribution of slow modes to Dp is calculated assuming the rms turbulent velocity is of order the Alfven speed. The energy spectrum of accelerated particles is derived assuming slow modes make the dominant contribution to Dp, taking into account Coulomb losses and particle escape from the acceleration region with an energy-independent escape time. The results are applied to solar flares.

Catching Super Massive Black Hole Binaries Without a Net

description: The gravitational wave signals from coalescing Supermassive Black Hole Binaries are prime targets for the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA). With optimal data processing techniques, the LISA observatory should be able to detect black hole mergers anywhere in the Universe. The challenge is to find ways to dig the signals out of a combination of instrument noise and the large foreground from stellar mass binaries in our own galaxy. The standard procedure of matched filtering against a grid of templates can be computationally prohibitive, especially when the black holes are spinning or the mass ratio is large. Here we develop an alternative approach based on Metropolis-Hastings sampling and simulated annealing that is orders of magnitude cheaper than a grid search. We demonstrate our approach on simulated LISA data streams that contain the signals from binary systems of Schwarzschild Black Holes, embedded in instrument noise and a foreground containing 26 million galactic binaries. The search algorithm is able to accurately recover the 9 parameters that describe the black hole binary without first having to remove any of the bright foreground sources, even when the black hole system has low signal-to-noise.

description: Methods from computational topology are becoming more and more popular in computer vision and have shown to improve the state-of-the-art in several tasks. In this paper, we investigate the applicability of topological descriptors in the context of 3D surface analysis for the classification of different surface textures. We present a comprehensive study on topological descriptors, investigate their robustness and expressiveness and compare them with state-of-the-art methods including Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). Results show that class-specific information is reflected well in topological descriptors. The investigated descriptors can directly compete with non-topological descriptors and capture complementary information. As a consequence they improve the state-of-the-art when combined with non-topological descriptors.

We show that this also implies that the distillable entanglement is not a convex function. Our example consists of the tensor product of a bound entangled state based on an unextendible product basis with a Werner state which lies in the class of conjectured undistillable states.

description: Multi-epoch observations with ACS and WFC3 on HST provide a unique and comprehensive probe of stellar dynamics within 47 Tucanae. We confront analytic models of the globular cluster with the observed stellar proper motions that probe along the main sequence from just above 0.8 to 0.1M$_\odot$ as well as white dwarfs younger than one gigayear. One field lies just beyond the half-light radius where dynamical models (\eg lowered Maxwellian distributions) make robust predictions for the stellar proper motions. The observed proper motions in this outer field show evidence for anisotropy in the velocity distribution as well as skewness; the latter is evidence of rotation. The measured velocity dispersions and surface brightness distributions agree in detail with a rotating, anisotropic model of the stellar distribution function with mild dependence of the proper-motion dispersion on mass. However, the best fitting models under-predict the rotation and skewness of the stellar velocities. In the second field, centered on the core of the cluster, the mass segregation in proper motion is much stronger. Nevertheless the model developed in the outer field can be extended inward by taking this mass segregation into account in a heuristic fashion. The proper motions of the main-sequence stars yield a mass estimate of the cluster of $1.31 \pm 0.02 \times 10^6 \mathrm{M}_\odot$ at a distance of 4.7 kpc. By comparing the proper motions of a sample of giant and sub-giant stars with the observed radial velocities we estimate the distance to the cluster kinematically to be $4.29 \pm 0.47$ kpc.

description: Fast particles diffusing along magnetic field lines in a turbulent plasma can diffuse through and then return to the same eddy many times before the eddy is randomized in the turbulent flow.

Publisher: name: University of Limerick
Year: 2024
Subjects: classificationCode: 49
subject: Mathematical sciences

description: We provide a simple geometric theory of crystal growth which predicts the shape and fnal dihedral angle of three-grain junctions of an augite crystal with two plagioclase grains. The predicted dihedral angle Δ depends on the initial impingement angle formed by the plagioclase grains, and also on the relative growth rates of the augite and the plagioclase, and shows reasonable agreement with data obtained from natural samples. We show that the two augite-plagioclase grain boundaries will normally curve towards each other, which is consistent with the frst two types of junction described in the companion paper. However, the third type, the eagle’s beak, is formed by the meeting of grain boundaries which curve in the same direction. Although it is possible to account for this type of junction by invoking the localised dissolution of one of the plagioclase grains, this is unlikely to occur. A more plausible explanation involves the late impingement of the two plagioclase grains, consistent with the observation that eagles’ beaks are common in gabbros and strongly orthocumulate troctolites, in which the plagioclase framework has not been established by the time augite is growing in substantial quantities. An observed fattening of the curve of Δ values at high values of can be explained by taking into account the importance of interfacial energy in late-stage crystallisation.

Model-independent reconstruction of $f(T)$ teleparallel cosmology

description: We propose a model-independent formalism to numerically solve the modified Friedmann equations in the framework of $f(T)$ teleparallel cosmology. Our strategy is to expand the Hubble parameter around the redshift $z=0$ up to a given order and to adopt cosmographic bounds as initial settings to determine the corresponding $f(z)\equiv f(T(H(z)))$ function. In this perspective, we distinguish two cases: the first expansion is up to the jerk parameter, the second expansion is up to the snap parameter. We show that inside the observed redshift domain $z\leq1$, only the net strength of $f(z)$ is modified passing from jerk to snap, whereas its functional behavior and shape turn out to be identical. As first step, we set the cosmographic parameters by means of the most recent observations. Afterwards, we calibrate our numerical solutions with the concordance $Λ$CDM model. In both cases, there is a good agreement with the cosmological standard model around $z\leq 1$, with severe discrepancies outer of this limit. We demonstrate that the effective dark energy term evolves following the test-function: $f(z)=\mathcal A+\mathcal Bz^2e^{\mathcal Cz}$. Bounds over the set $\left\{\mathcal A, \mathcal B, \mathcal C\right\}$ are also fixed by statistical considerations, comparing discrepancies between $f(z)$ with data. The approach opens the possibility to get a wide class of test-functions able to frame the dynamics of $f(T)$ without postulating any model \emph{a priori}. We thus re-obtain the $f(T)$ function through a back-scattering procedure once $f(z)$ is known. We figure out the properties of our $f(T)$ function at the level of background cosmology, to check the goodness of our numerical results. Finally, a comparison with previous cosmographic approaches is carried out giving results compatible with theoretical expectations.

description: As an extension of the Robinson-Trautman solutions of D=4 general relativity, we investigate higher dimensional spacetimes which admit a hypersurface orthogonal, non-shearing and expanding geodesic null congruence. Einstein's field equations with an arbitrary cosmological constant and possibly an aligned pure radiation are fully integrated, so that the complete family is presented in closed explicit form. As a distinctive feature of higher dimensions, the transverse spatial part of the general line element must be a Riemannian Einstein space, but it is otherwise arbitrary. On the other hand, the remaining part of the metric is - perhaps surprisingly - not so rich as in the standard D=4 case, and the corresponding Weyl tensor is necessarily of algebraic type D. While the general family contains (generalized) static Schwarzschild-Kottler-Tangherlini black holes and extensions of the Vaidya metric, there is no analogue of important solutions such as the C-metric.

description: The adoption of voluntary conservation agreements for the dunes sagebrush lizard (DSL; Sceloporus arenicolus) in Texas in 2012 caused not change in the rate of oil and gas well approved each year inside the species' habitat (yellow) versus outside its habitat (purple).
The DSL is a small imperiled reptile found only in the shinnery oak sand dune habitats of eastern New Mexico and West Texas. In 2012, the Texas Conservation Plan (TCP) was adopted in Texas to protect the lizard and its habitat from activities including oil and gas development and agricultural expansion. We used data on oil and gas well approvals in Texas from before and after the agreements, inside and outside of DSL habitat, to check for an effect of the agreements. Well locations were mapped using ArcGIS to classify each as inside or outside of habitat based on the 2011 habitat map, then tallied across location and year using R. The data show that annual well approvals inside DSL habitat are no different after the agreements were adopted than the rate of approval outside the species' habitat.

description: Being able to resist temptation at a young age is crucial for successful functioning yet it can be challenging. According to the Selection, Optimization, and Compensation with Emotion Regulation (SOC-ER) framework, one central element of successful functioning is selection which involves choosing among regulatory options whose resource requirements fits with the amount of available resources an individual possesses. Although conceptually important, direct empirical evidence is lacking. Accordingly, the present study utilised performance based measures to examine the interactive effect of regulatory selection to resist temptation, and individual differences in executive resources, on functioning in young children. Specifically, 39 first grade children that varied in executive resources (working memory capacity, WMC), selected between two major regulatory strategies (reappraisal and distraction) to resist temptation, that varied in their resource demands, and were evaluated on successful functioning (via questionnaires completed by parents, that assess daily-life behaviours requiring executive functioning). Supporting SOC-ER predictions, we found that among children with low (but not high) WMC, choosing the less effortful distraction regulatory strategy was associated with adaptive functioning. Additionally, regulatory choice preferences previously obtained with adults were extended to children. Broad implications are discussed.

Cosmic Star Formation History from Local Observations and an Outline for Galaxy Formation and Evolution
Creators: name: Hartwick, F. D. A.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The goal of this investigation is to reconstruct the cosmic star formation rate density history from local observations and in doing so to gain insight into how galaxies might have formed and evolved. A new chemical evolution model is described which accounts for the formation of globular clusters as well as the accompanying field stars. When this model is used in conjunction with the observed age metallicity relations for the clusters and with input which allows for the formation of the nearly universally observed bimodal distribution of globular clusters, star formation rates are obtained. By confining attention to a representative volume of the local universe, these rates allow a successful reconstruction of the Madau plot while complementary results similtaneously satisfy many local cosmological constraints. A physical framework for galaxy formation is presented which incorporates the results from this chemical evolution model and assumes an anisotropic collapse. In addition to providing the `classical' halo, bulge and disk components, the model also predicts a new stellar halo component with peak [Fe/H] ~ -0.8 and disk-like angular momentum and allows for the formation of a thick disk as outlined by the group of metal rich globular clusters. Milky Way counterparts of the latter two components are identified.

description: Topological semimetal is a topic of general interest in material science. Recently, a new kind of topological semimetal called type-II Dirac semimetal with tilted Dirac cones is discovered in PtSe2 family. However, the further investigation is hindered due to the huge energy difference from Dirac points to Fermi level and the irrelevant conducting pockets at Fermi surface. Here we characterize the optimized type-II Dirac dispersions in a metastable 1T phase of IrTe2. Our strategy of Pt doping protects the metastable 1T phase in low temperature and tunes the Fermi level to the Dirac point. As demonstrated by angle-resolved photoemission spectra and first principle calculations, the Fermi surface of Ir1-xPtxTe2 is formed by only a single band with type-II Dirac cone which is tilted strongly along kz momentum direction. Interesting superconductivity is observed in samples for Dirac point close to Fermi level and even survives when Fermi level aligns with the Dirac point as finite density of states created by the tilted cone dispersion. This advantage offers opportunities for possible topological superconductivity and versatile Majorana devices in type-II Dirac semimetals.

description: Consider a continuous word embedding model. Usually, the cosines between word vectors are used as a measure of similarity of words. These cosines do not change under orthogonal transformations of the embedding space. We demonstrate that, using some canonical orthogonal transformations from SVD, it is possible both to increase the meaning of some components and to make the components more stable under re-learning. We study the interpretability of components for publicly available models for the Russian language (RusVectores, fastText, RDT).
Leading quantum gravitational corrections to QED

description: We consider the leading post-Newtonian and quantum corrections to the non-relativistic scattering amplitude of charged spin-1/2 fermions in the combined theory of general relativity and QED. The coupled Dirac-Einstein system is treated as an effective field theory. This allows for a consistent quantization of the gravitational field. The appropriate vertex rules are extracted from the action, and the non-analytic contributions to the 1-loop scattering matrix are calculated in the non-relativistic limit. The non-analytical parts of the scattering amplitude are known to give the long range, low energy, leading quantum corrections, are used to construct the leading post-Newtonian and quantum corrections to the two-particle non-relativistic scattering matrix potential for two massive fermions with electric charge.

description: Big Bang Nucleosynthesis can provide, via constraints on the expansion rate at that time, limits on possible variations in Newton's Constant, $G$. The original analyses were performed before an independent measurement of the baryon-to-photon ratio from the cosmic microwave background was available. Combining this with recent measurements of the primordial deuterium abundance in quasar absorption systems now allows one to derive a new tighter constraint on $G$ without recourse to considerations of helium or lithium abundances. We find that, compared to todays value, $G_0$, $G_{BBN}/G_0=1.01^{+0.20}_{-0.16}$ at the 68.3% confidence level. If we assume a monotonic power law time dependence, $G\propto t^{-α}$, then the constraint on the index is $-0.004 < α< 0.005$. This would translate into $-3\times10^{-13} \textrm{yr}^{-1} < (\dot G/G)_{\textrm{today}} < 4 \times 10^{-13} \textrm{yr}^{-1}$.

Relevance of the weak equivalence principle and experiments to test it: lessons from the past and improvements expected in space

description: Tests of the Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP) probe the foundations of physics. Ever since Galileo in the early 1600s, WEP tests have attracted some of the best experimentalists of any time. Progress has come in bursts, each stimulated by the introduction of a new technique: the torsion balance, signal modulation by Earth rotation, the rotating torsion balance. Tests for various materials in the field of the Earth and the Sun have found no violation to the level of about 1 part in 1e13. A different technique, Lunar Laser Ranging (LLR), has reached comparable precision. Today, both laboratory tests and LLR have reached a point when improving by a factor of 10 is extremely hard. The promise of another quantum leap in precision rests on experiments performed in low Earth orbit. The Microscope satellite, launched in April 2016 and currently taking data, aims to test WEP in the field of Earth to 1e-15, a 100-fold improvement possible thanks to a driving signal in orbit almost 500 times stronger than for torsion balances on ground. The `Galileo Galilei' (GG) experiment, by combining the advantages of space with those of the rotating torsion balance, aims at a WEP test 100 times more precise than Microscope, to 1e-17. A quantitative comparison of the key issues in the two experiments is presented, along with recent experimental measurements relevant for GG. Early results from Microscope, reported at a conference in March 2017, show measurement performance close to the expectations and confirm the key role of rotation with the advantage (unique to space) of rotating the whole spacecraft. Any non-null result from Microscope would be a major discovery and call for urgent confirmation; with 100 times better precision GG could settle the matter and provide a deeper probe of the foundations of physics.

Ceding to the 'Other': A Search for Relational Teaching Praxis
Creators: name: JESSICA MAREE GANNAWAY
Publisher: name: Monash University
Year: 2018
Subjects: Education

description: This thesis focuses on a beginning teacher's first four years of practice in an Indigenous community in Australia. An auto-ethnographic study was conducted to explore teaching practice in such a context, focusing on my evolving dispositions toward 'social justice' and seeking to 'do good' through a teaching role. Through the work of Karen Martin's work 'Please Knock Before You Enter' and the notion of Third Space, four aspects of relational praxis are proposed as beginning points for non-Indigenous teachers seeking to decolonise their own practice and reduce the othering in the classroom.
Quantization of diffeomorphism invariant theories of connections with a non-compact structure group - an example

description: A simple diffeomorphism invariant theory of connections with the non-compact structure group R of real numbers is quantized. The theory is defined on a four-dimensional 'space-time' by an action resembling closely the self-dual Plebanski action for general relativity. The space of quantum states is constructed by means of projective techniques by Kijowski. Except this point the applied quantization procedure is based on Loop Quantum Gravity methods.

description: We introduce a simple and linear SNR (strictly speaking, periodic to random power ratio) estimator (0dB to 80dB without additional calibration/linearization) for providing reliable descriptions of aperiodicity in speech corpus. The main idea of this method is to estimate the background random noise level without directly extracting the background noise. The proposed method is applicable to a wide variety of time windowing functions with very low sidelobe levels. The estimate combines the frequency derivative and the time-frequency derivative of the mapping from filter center frequency to the output instantaneous frequency. This procedure can replace the periodicity detection and aperiodicity estimation subsystems of recently introduced open source vocoder, YANG vocoder. Source code of MATLAB implementation of this method will also be open sourced.

description: Objectives: Research has shown a fall of research productivity of faculty after their promotion to professor rank. This study explores the factors that lead to this decline in research productivity of professors in medical discipline. Methods: A 20-item questionnaire was distributed online to medical professors of a Saudi, Malaysian and a Pakistani medical school. The participants were instructed to select their responses on a 5-point Likert’s scale and the collected data was analyzed for quantitative and qualitative results. Results: Of 161, 110 responded; response rate of 68.3%. About 35% professors spent 1–4 hours and 2% spent 19–25 hours per week for research. As many as 7% did not publish a single article and 29% had published 10 or more articles after attaining professor rank. During the last two years, 44% professors had published 5 or more research articles. Majority pointed out a lack of research support and funds, administrative burden and difficulty in data collection as the main obstacles to their research. Conclusions: This research has identified time constraints and insufficient support for research as key barriers to medical professors’ research productivity. Financial and technical support and lesser administrative work load are some suggested remedies to foster the professors’ research output.
