description: If the Electroweak Symmetry Breaking Sector turns out to be strongly interacting, the actively investigated effective theory for longitudinal gauge bosons plus Higgs can be efficiently extended to cover the regime of saturation of unitarity (where the perturbative expansion breaks down). This is achieved by dispersion relations, whose subtraction constants and left cut contribution can be approximately obtained in different ways giving rise to different unitarization procedures. We illustrate the ideas with the Inverse Amplitude Method, one version of the N/D method and another improved version of the K-matrix. In the three cases we get partial waves which are unitary, analytical with the proper left and right cuts and in some cases poles in the second Riemann sheet that can be understood as dynamically generated resonances. In addition they reproduce at Next to Leading Order (NLO) the perturbative expansion for the five partial waves not vanishing (up to J=2) and they are renormalization scale ($μ$) independent. Also the unitarization formalisms are extended to the coupled channel case. Then we apply the results to the elastic scattering amplitude for the longitudinal components of the gauge bosons $V=W, Z$ at high energy. We also compute $h h \rightarrow h h$ and the inelastic process $VV\rightarrow h h$ which are coupled to the elastic $VV$ channel for custodial isospin $I=0$. We numerically compare the three methods for various values of the low-energy couplings and explain the reasons for the differences found in the $I=J=1$ partial wave. Then we study the resonances appearing in the different elastic and coupled channels in terms of the effective Lagrangian parameters.

description: We design a quantum battery made up of bosons or fermions in an ultracold-atom setup, described by Fermi-Hubbard and Bose-Hubbard models, respectively. We compare the performance of bosons and fermions to determine which can function as a quantum battery more effectively given a particular on-site interaction and initial state temperature. The performance of a quantum battery is quantified by the maximum energy stored per unit time over the evolution under an on-site charging Hamiltonian. We report that when the initial battery state is in the ground state, fermions outperform bosons in a certain configuration over a large range of on-site interactions which are shown analytically for a smaller number of lattice sites and numerically for a considerable number of sites. Bosons take the lead when the temperature is comparatively high in the initial state for a longer range of on-site interaction. We study a number of up and down fermions as well as the number of bosons per site to find the optimal filling factor for maximizing the average power of the battery. We also introduce disorder in both on-site and hopping parameters and demonstrate that the maximum average power is robust against impurities. Moreover, we identify a range of tuning parameters in the fermionic and bosonic systems where the disorder-enhanced power is observed.

description: The surface chemistry and thus in turn the oxygen exchange kinetics of perovskite-type electrode materials for solid oxid fuel cells (SOFCs) and solid oxid electrolysis cells (SOECs) is strongly affected by segregation phenomena. Typically, B-site cations segregate in form of catalytically active metal nanoparticles in reducing conditions, while A-site cations tend to segregate in oxidizing conditions and lead to performance loss. One possible way to enhance the desired segregation of B-site cations while simultaneously decreasing the undesired segregation of A-site cations is to employ A-site deficient materials. For a detailed understanding of the underlying mechanisms, precise knowledge of the oxygen vacancy concentration is of importance. In this study, A-site deficient La0.6Sr0.4FeO3-δ (LSF) and SrTi0.6Fe0.4O3-δ (STF) serve as model materials.We present a new miniature coulometric titration cell that allows for precise measurements of changes in the oxygen non-stoichiometry of LSF and STF powder samples over a wide pO2 range. Additionally, we applied the same principle to electrochemical cells with thin film STF electrodes, on which irreversible processes could be determined more precisely. The presented methods not only allow for the quantification of changes in oxygen stoichiometry, but also for the quantification of easily reducible secondary phases that either come from synthesis, or form in-situ during electrochemical reduction. Moreover, we can show how the bulk oxygen vacancy concentration is linked to transition metal oxidation states on the surface that were determined by in-situ X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurements on electrochemically polarized model cells.

description: With the commissioning of powerful, new-generation telescopes such as the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the ground-based Extremely Large Telescopes, the first characterization of a high molecular weight atmosphere around a temperate rocky exoplanet is imminent. Atmospheric simulations and synthetic observables of target exoplanets are essential to prepare and interpret these observations. Here we report the results of the first part of the TRAPPIST-1 Habitable Atmosphere Intercomparison (THAI) project, which compares 3D numerical simulations performed with four state-of-the-art global climate models (ExoCAM, LMD-Generic, ROCKE-3D, Unified Model) for the potentially habitable target TRAPPIST-1e. In this first part, we present the results of dry atmospheric simulations. These simulations serve as a benchmark to test how radiative transfer, subgrid-scale mixing (dry turbulence and convection), and large-scale dynamics impact the climate of TRAPPIST-1e and consequently the transit spectroscopy signature as seen by JWST. To first order, the four models give results in good agreement. The intermodel spread in the global mean surface temperature amounts to 7K (6K) for the N2-dominated (CO2-dominated) atmosphere. The radiative fluxes are also remarkably similar (intermodel variations less than 5%), from the surface (1 bar) up to atmospheric pressures around 5 mbar. Moderate differences between the models appear in the atmospheric circulation pattern (winds) and the (stratospheric) thermal structure. These differences arise between the models from (1) large-scale dynamics, because TRAPPIST-1e lies at the tipping point between two different circulation regimes (fast and Rhines rotators) in which the models can be alternatively trapped, and (2) parameterizations used in the upper atmosphere such as numerical damping.

description: An array of carbohydrates masks the HIV-1 surface protein Env, contributing to the evasion of humoral immunity. In most HIV-1 isolates ‘glycan holes’ occur due to natural sequence variation, potentially revealing the underlying protein surface to the immune system. Here we computationally design epitopes that mimic such surface features (carbohydrate-occluded neutralization epitopes or CONE) of Env through ‘epitope transplantation’, in which the target region is presented on a carrier protein scaffold with preserved structural properties. Scaffolds displaying the four CONEs are examined for structure and immunogenicity. Crystal structures of two designed proteins reflect the computational models and accurately mimic the native conformations of CONEs. The sera from rabbits immunized with several CONE immunogens display Env binding activity. Our method determines essential structural elements for targets of protective antibodies. The ability to design immunogens with high mimicry to viral proteins also makes possible the exploration of new templates for vaccine development. © 2019, The Author(s).

description: To identify promising exoplanets for atmospheric characterization and to make the best use of observational data, a thorough understanding of their atmospheres is needed. 3D general circulation models (GCMs) are one of the most comprehensive tools available for this task and will be used to interpret observations of temperate rocky exoplanets. Due to parameterization choices made in GCMs, they can produce different results, even for the same planet. Employing four widely-used exoplanetary GCMs -- ExoCAM, LMD-G, ROCKE-3D and the UM -- we continue the TRAPPIST-1 Habitable Atmosphere Intercomparison by modeling aquaplanet climates of TRAPPIST-1e with a moist atmosphere dominated by either nitrogen or carbon dioxide. Although the GCMs disagree on the details of the simulated regimes, they all predict a temperate climate with neither of the two cases pushed out of the habitable state. Nevertheless, the inter-model spread in the global mean surface temperature is non-negligible: 14 K and 24 K in the nitrogen and carbon dioxide dominated case, respectively. We find substantial inter-model differences in moist variables, with the smallest amount of clouds in LMD-Generic and the largest in ROCKE-3D. ExoCAM predicts the warmest climate for both cases and thus has the highest water vapor content and the largest amount and variability of cloud condensate. The UM tends to produce colder conditions, especially in the nitrogen-dominated case due to a strong negative cloud radiative effect on the day side of TRAPPIST-1e. Our study highlights various biases of GCMs and emphasizes the importance of not relying solely on one model to understand exoplanet climates.

description: The TRAPPIST-1 Habitable Atmosphere Intercomparison (THAI) is a community project that aims to quantify how dfferences in general circulation models (GCMs) could impact the climate prediction for TRAPPIST-1e and, subsequently its atmospheric characterization in transit. Four GCMs have participated in THAI so far: ExoCAM, LMD-Generic, ROCKE-3D and the UM. This paper, focused on the simulated observations, is the third part of a trilogy, following the analysis of two land planet scenarios (part I) and two aquaplanet scenarios (part II). Here, we show a robust agreement between the simulated spectra and the number of transits estimated to detect the land planet atmospheres. For the aquaplanet ones, using atmospheric data from any of the four GCMs would require at least 17 transits. This prediction corresponds to UM simulated data which produces the lowest and thinnest clouds. Between 35-40% more clouds are predicted by ExoCAM or LMD-G due to higher thick terminator clouds. For the first time this work provides "GCM uncertainty error bars" of 35-40% that need to be considered in future analyses of transmission spectra. We also analyzed the inter-transit variability induced by weather patterns and changes of terminator cloudiness between transits. Its magnitude differs significantly between the GCMs but its impact on the transmission spectra is within the measurement uncertainties. THAI has demonstrated the importance of model intercomparison for exoplanets and also paved the way for a larger project to develop an intercomparison meta-framework, namely the Climates Using Interactive Suites of Intercomparisons Nested for Exoplanet Studies (CUISINES).

description: El suicidio en la población adolescente es uno de los problemas que afronta nuestra sociedad de manera creciente. Es un fenómeno multifactorial, que incluye factores causales biológicos, ambientales, psicológicos y sociales. El incremento de las tasas de muerte por suicidio pone en evidencia la necesidad de realizar programas de prevención, principalmente en adolescentes. La falta de recursos, formación, información y/o gestión de la conducta suicida en los centros educativos es evidente. Por estas razones, se lleva a cabo este proyecto en el que, primeramente, se expone la eficacia del único programa validado en España para la prevención del suicidio (SEYLE) y, a su vez, se propone un nuevo programa destinado a la prevención de la conducta suicida en la población adolescente. Los comportamientos suicidas son un problema importante de salud pública que involucra múltiples factores que deben ser abordados cuanto antes para hacer énfasis en los factores de riesgo que pueden impulsar a las personas a tomar esta decisión.

description: Half-maximal gauged supergravity in seven dimensions coupled to $n$ vector multiplets contains $n+3$ vectors and $3n+1$ scalars parametrized by $\mathbb{R}^+\times SO(3,n)/SO(3)\times SO(n)$ coset manifold. The two-form field in the gravity multiplet can be dualized to a three-form field which admits a topological mass term. Possible non-compact gauge groups take the form of $G_0\times H\subset SO(3,n)$ with a compact group $H$. $G_0$ is one of the five possibilities; $SO(3,1)$, $SL(3,\mathbb{R})$, $SO(2,2)$, $SO(2,1)$ and $SO(2,2)\times SO(2,1)$. We investigate all of these possible non-compact gauge groups and classify their vacua. Unlike the gauged supergravity without a topological mass term, there are new supersymmetric $AdS_7$ vacua in the $SO(3,1)$ and $SL(3,\mathbb{R})$ gaugings. These correspond to new $N=(1,0)$ superconformal field theories (SCFT) in six dimensions. Additionally, we find a class of $AdS_5\times S^2$ and $AdS_5\times H^2$ backgrounds with $SO(2)$ and $SO(2)\times SO(2)$ symmetries. These should correspond to $N=1$ SCFTs in four dimensions obtained from twisted compactifications of six-dimensional field theories on $S^2$ or $H^2$. We also study RG flows from six-dimensional $N=(1,0)$ SCFT to $N=1$ SCFT in four dimensions and RG flows from a four-dimensional $N=1$ SCFT to a six-dimensional SYM in the IR. The former are driven by a vacuum expectation value of a dimension-four operator dual to the supergravity dilaton while the latter are driven by vacuum expectation values of marginal operators.

description: This paper develops a novel unsupervised algorithm for belief representation learning in polarized networks that (i) uncovers the latent dimensions of the underlying belief space and (ii) jointly embeds users and content items (that they interact with) into that space in a manner that facilitates a number of downstream tasks, such as stance detection, stance prediction, and ideology mapping. Inspired by total correlation in information theory, we propose the Information-Theoretic Variational Graph Auto-Encoder (InfoVGAE) that learns to project both users and content items (e.g., posts that represent user views) into an appropriate disentangled latent space. To better disentangle latent variables in that space, we develop a total correlation regularization module, a Proportional-Integral (PI) control module, and adopt rectified Gaussian distribution to ensure the orthogonality. The latent representation of users and content can then be used to quantify their ideological leaning and detect/predict their stances on issues. We evaluate the performance of the proposed InfoVGAE on three real-world datasets, of which two are collected from Twitter and one from U.S. Congress voting records. The evaluation results show that our model outperforms state-of-the-art unsupervised models by reducing 10.5% user clustering errors and achieving 12.1% higher F1 scores for stance separation of content items. In addition, InfoVGAE produces a comparable result with supervised models. We also discuss its performance on stance prediction and user ranking within ideological groups.

description: We show how the deposition of laser energy induces propulsion and strong deformation of an absorbing liquid body. Combining high speed with stroboscopic imaging, we observe that a millimeter-sized dyed water drop hit by a millijoule nanosecond laser pulse propels forward at several meters per second and deforms until it eventually fragments. The drop motion results from the recoil momentum imparted at the drop surface by water vaporization. We measure the propulsion speed and the time-deformation law of the drop, complemented by boundary-integral simulations. The drop propulsion and shaping are explained in terms of the laser-pulse energy, the drop size, and the liquid properties. These findings are, for instance, crucial for the generation of extreme ultraviolet light in nanolithography machines.

description: Alternative splicing of HIV-1 mRNAs increases viral coding potential and controls the levels and timing of gene expression. HIV-1 splicing is regulated in part by heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs) and their viral target sequences, which typically repress splicing when studied outside their native viral context. Here, we determined the location and extent of hnRNP binding to HIV-1 mRNAs and their impact on splicing in a native viral context. Notably, hnRNP A1, hnRNP A2, and hnRNP B1 bound to many dispersed sites across viral mRNAs. Conversely, hnRNP H1 bound to a few discrete purine-rich sequences, a finding that was mirrored in vitro. hnRNP H1 depletion and mutation of a prominent viral RNA hnRNP H1 binding site decreased the use of splice acceptor A1, causing a deficit in Vif expression and replicative fitness. This quantitative framework for determining the regulatory inputs governing alternative HIV-1 splicing revealed an unexpected splicing enhancer role for hnRNP H1 through binding to its target element. IMPORTANCE Alternative splicing of HIV-1 mRNAs is an essential yet quite poorly understood step of virus replication that enhances the coding potential of the viral genome and allows the temporal regulation of viral gene expression. Although HIV-1 constitutes an important model system for general studies of the regulation of alternative splicing, the inputs that determine the efficiency with which splice sites are utilized remain poorly defined. Our studies provide an experimental framework to study an essential step of HIV-1 replication more comprehensively and in much greater detail than was previously possible and reveal novel cis-acting elements regulating HIV-1 splicing. © 2019 American Society for Microbiology.

description: Sustainable research on computational models of neuronal networks requires published models to be understandable, reproducible, and extendable. Missing details or ambiguities about mathematical concepts and assumptions, algorithmic implementations, or parameterizations hinder progress. Such flaws are unfortunately frequent and one reason is a lack of readily applicable standards and tools for model description. Our work aims to advance complete and concise descriptions of network connectivity but also to guide the implementation of connection routines in simulation software and neuromorphic hardware systems. We first review models made available by the computational neuroscience community in the repositories ModelDB and Open Source Brain, and investigate the corresponding connectivity structures and their descriptions in both manuscript and code. The review comprises the connectivity of networks with diverse levels of neuroanatomical detail and exposes how connectivity is abstracted in existing description languages and simulator interfaces. We find that a substantial proportion of the published descriptions of connectivity is ambiguous. Based on this review, we derive a set of connectivity concepts for deterministically and probabilistically connected networks and also address networks embedded in metric space. Beside these mathematical and textual guidelines, we propose a unified graphical notation for network diagrams to facilitate an intuitive understanding of network properties. Examples of representative network models demonstrate the practical use of the ideas. We hope that the proposed standardizations will contribute to unambiguous descriptions and reproducible implementations of neuronal network connectivity in computational neuroscience.
General procedure for determining braiding and statistics of anyons using entanglement interferometry

description: Recently, it was argued that the braiding and statistics of anyons in a two-dimensional topological phase can be extracted by studying the quantum entanglement of the degenerate ground-states on the torus. This construction either required a lattice symmetry (such as $π/2$ rotation) or tacitly assumed that the `minimum entanglement states' (MESs) for two different bipartitions can be uniquely assigned quasiparticle labels. Here we describe a procedure to obtain the modular $\mathcal S$ matrix, which encodes the braiding statistics of anyons, which does not require making any of these assumptions. Our strategy is to compare MESs of three independent entanglement bipartitions of the torus, which leads to a unique modular $\mathcal S$. This procedure also puts strong constraints on the modular $\mathcal T$ and $\mathcal U$ matrices without requiring any symmetries, and in certain special cases, completely determines it. Our method applies equally to Abelian and non-Abelian topological phases.

description: We construct non-perturbatively exact four-dimensional Minkowski vacua of type IIB string theory with non-trivial fluxes. These solutions are found by gluing together, consistently with U-duality, local solutions of type IIB supergravity on $T^4 \times \mathbb{C}$ with the metric, dilaton and flux potentials varying along $\mathbb{C}$ and the flux potentials oriented along $T^4$. We focus on solutions locally related via U-duality to non-compact Ricci-flat geometries. More general solutions and a complete analysis of the supersymmetry equations are presented in the companion paper [1]. We build a precise dictionary between fluxes in the global solutions and the geometry of an auxiliary $K3$ surface fibered over $\mathbb{CP}^1$. In the spirit of F-theory, the flux potentials are expressed in terms of locally holomorphic functions that parametrize the complex structure moduli space of the $K3$ fiber in the auxiliary geometry. The brane content is inferred from the monodromy data around the degeneration points of the fiber.

They compute analytic expressions for the nonlinear matter power spectrum, to first order in the interaction, and at one-loop order in the linear power spectrum. The resulting power spectrum is well behaved even at large wavenumbers and seems in good agreement with results from numerical simulations. In this paper, we rederive their results concisely with a different approach, starting from the implicit integral solution to particle trajectories. We derive the matter power spectrum to first order in the interaction, but to arbitrary order in the linear power spectrum, from which the one-loop result follows. We also show that standard linear perturbation theory can only be recovered at infinite order in the gravitational interaction. At finite order in the interaction, we find that the linear power spectrum is systematically and significantly underestimated. A comprehensive study of the convergence of the theory with the order of the interaction for nonlinear scales will be the subject of future work.

description: Background: Uretric calculi was most commonly found associated with ureteric colic. It occurs due to low fluid
intake, frequent urinary tract infections and medicines that may crystallize within the urine. Ureteric calculi are
mostly composed of calcium which crystallizes in the kidney and moves down to ureter causing obstruction. The
prevalence of ureteric colic is increasing everyday. Over-utilization of Computed tomography is a growing
health concern because of the used of high radiation in computed tomography. Objective: To determine the
diagnostic accuracy of ultrasonography versus computed tomography for ureteric calculi among the adult
patients visiting Mayo hospital Lahore. Methods: This Cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted in the
Department of Radiology in Mayo hospital Lahore. All patients with ureteric colic (as per operational definition)
and with suspicion of ureteric calculus were included. The ct-scan machine of Hitachi (164 slices) and
Ultrasound machine Siemens was used to performing this research to determine the diagnostic accuracy of
ultrasonography versus computed tomography for ureteric calculi among the adult patients. Ureteric stones were
diagnosed on a trans-Abdominal scan by using of 5MHz frequency. Results: Total 78 patients with sign and
symptoms of ureteric calculi were imaged with ultrasonography and computed tomography, among them ureteric
calculi were found in 25 (34.2%) patients with ultrasound. Ureteric calculi were found in 52(71.2%) with
computed tomography scanning. The individuals of 17-75 years were mainly involved while most of them were
male patients. We observed that, computed tomography scanning is batter to diagnose ureteric calculi as
compared to ultrasonography.

description: Quantum transduction between the microwave and optical domains is an outstanding challenge for long-distance quantum networks based on superconducting qubits. For all transducers realized to date, the generally weak light-matter coupling does not allow high transduction efficiency, large bandwidth, and low noise simultaneously. Here we show that a large electric dipole moment of an exciton in an optically active self-assembled quantum dot molecule (QDM) efficiently couples to a microwave resonator field at a single-photon level. This allows for transduction between microwave and optical photons without coherent optical pump fields to enhance the interaction. With an on-chip device, we demonstrate a sizeable single-photon coupling strength of 16 MHz. Thanks to the fast exciton decay rate in the QDM, the transduction bandwidth between an optical and microwave resonator photon reaches several 100s of MHz.

description: This study investigates the efficiency and effectiveness of various grid steps in interpolating Digital Elevation Models (DEMs) and hillshades from LiDAR point clouds. Using SGIS v.R software, we explored different interpolation settings and compared the outcomes to assess the impact of grid step size on the quality of terrain representations.

Initially, hillshades were generated at grid steps of 0.25m, 0.5m, and 1m, revealing that finer grid steps (0.25m) produce more detailed and accurate terrain models compared to coarser steps (0.5m and 1m).

The analysis highlighted the importance of grid step selection based on point density, showing that a higher density point cloud (approximately 37 points per square meter) benefits from a finer grid step (0.1m) for optimal results, whereas a lower density point cloud (10.5 points per square meter) is adequately represented with a 0.25m grid step. 

Time efficiency was also assessed, with finer grid steps requiring more processing time. For instance, generating a hillshade with a 0.25m grid step took 10.545 seconds, compared to 21.714 seconds for a 0.1m grid step.

The findings emphasize that selecting the appropriate grid step based on dataset characteristics is crucial for achieving high-quality terrain models while balancing processing time.

description: Quantum mechanics is an outstandingly successful description of nature, underpinning fields from biology through chemistry to physics. At its heart is the quantum wavefunction, the central tool for describing quantum systems. Yet it is still unclear what the wavefunction actually is: does it merely represent our limited knowledge of a system, or is it an element of reality? Recent no-go theorems argued that if there was any underlying reality to start with, the wavefunction must be real. However, that conclusion relied on debatable assumptions, without which a partial knowledge interpretation can be maintained to some extent. A different approach is to impose bounds on the degree to which knowledge interpretations can explain quantum phenomena, such as why we cannot perfectly distinguish non-orthogonal quantum states. Here we experimentally test this approach with single photons. We find that no knowledge interpretation can fully explain the indistinguishability of non-orthogonal quantum states in three and four dimensions. Assuming that some underlying reality exists, our results strengthen the view that the entire wavefunction should be real. The only alternative is to adopt more unorthodox concepts such as backwards-in-time causation, or to completely abandon any notion of objective reality.

description: We study the one-dimensional totally asymmetric simple exclusion process in contact with two reservoirs including also a fugacity at one boundary. The eigenvectors and the eigenvalues of the corresponding Markov matrix are computed using the modified algebraic Bethe ansatz, method introduced recently to study the spin chain with non-diagonal boundaries. We provide in this case a proof of this method.

description: This article describes the “Wellbeing Process” model which is based on the Demands-Resources-Individual
Effects (DRIVE) approach developed in occupational stress research. This model requires measurement of many
variables and this is often not practical with established questionnaires due to their length. In order to remove
this problem a short questionnaire (the Wellbeing Process Questionnaire, WPQ) was developed and validated.
This enabled the well-being process to be evaluated and established predictors of positive and negative
appraisals and outcomes defined. Results using this measuring instrument in a range of samples from different
occupational sectors will be described. One issue with measures of wellbeing at work is that they may be
influenced by the extent to which the person aims to present a socially desirable profile or lie about their
wellbeing. This was examined in the study presented here. The results showed that measures related to negative
outcomes were associated with scores on the lie scale. In contrast, positive outcomes and “the good job score”
(the difference between positive appraisals/outcomes and negative appraisals/outcomes) were not correlated with
scores on the lie scale. This result demonstrates the suitability of the WPQ for investigating wellbeing at work

description: The book "Continuous-Time Markov Chains" by W. J. Anderson collects a large part of the development in the past thirty years. It is now a popular reference for the researchers on this subject or related fields. Unfortunately, due to a misunderstanding of the approximating methods, several results in the book are incorrectly stated or proved. Since the results are related to the present author's work, to whom it may be a duty to correct the mistakes in order to avoid further confusion. We emphasize the approximating methods because they are useful in many situations.
description: In the past twenty years or more, we have seen several times that some results from the book under review are either incorrectly used or cited. The uploaded older paper may be helpful to classify some confusions. Two footnotes are newly added

description: Current noise levels in physical realizations of qubits and quantum operations limit the applicability of conventional methods to characterize entanglement. In this adverse scenario, we follow a quantum variational approach to estimate the geometric measure of entanglement of multiqubit pure states. The algorithm requires only single-qubit gates and measurements, so it is well suited for NISQ devices. This is demonstrated by successfully implementing the method on IBM Quantum devices for Greenberger-Horne-Zeilinger states of $3$, $4$, and $5$ qubits. Numerical simulations with random states show the robustness and accuracy of the method. The scalability of the protocol is numerically demonstrated via matrix product states techniques up to $25$ qubits.
