Generalized transitionless quantum driving for open quantum systems

description: A general approach for transitionless quantum driving in open quantum systems is introduced. Under the assumption of adiabatic evolution for time-local master equations, we derive the generalized transitionless Lindbladian required to implement a shortcut to adiabaticity in an open system scenario. The general counter-diabatic Lindbladian obtained accounts for a phase freedom, which translates into a set of free parameters throughout the dynamics. We then discuss how our generalized approach allows us to recover the transitionless Lindbladian introduced by G. Vacanti et al. [New J. Phys. 16, 053017 (2014)]. We then show how to engineer time-independent master equations that provide the same dynamics as the time-dependent master equation provided by the standard transitionless quantum driving in open systems. We illustrate our results by applying them both to the adiabatic Deutsch algorithm under dephasing and to the Landau-Zener Hamiltonian under bit-phase-flip.

SDSS J080531.84+481233.0: An Unresolved L Dwarf/T Dwarf Binary
Creators: name: Burgasser, Adam J.
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2007
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: SDSS J080531.84+481233.0 is a peculiar L-type dwarf that exhibits unusually blue near-infrared and mid-infrared colors and divergent optical (L4) and near-infrared (L9.5) spectral classifications. These peculiar spectral traits have been variously attributed to condensate cloud effects or subsolar metallicity. Here I present an improved near-infrared spectrum of this source which further demonstrates the presence of weak CH4 absorption at 1.6 micron but no corresponding band at 2.2 micron. It is shown that these features can be collectively reproduced by the combined light spectrum of a binary with L4.5 and T5 components, as deduced by spectral template matching. Thus, SDSS J080531.84+481233.0 appears to be a new low-mass binary straddling the L dwarf/T dwarf transition, an evolutionary phase for brown dwarfs that remains poorly understood by current theoretical models. The case of SDSS J080531.84+481233.0 further illustrates how a select range of L dwarf/T dwarf binaries could be identified and characterized without the need for high angular resolution imaging or radial velocity monitoring, potentially alleviating some of the detection biases and limitations inherent to such techniques.

$SLE(κ,ρ)$ processes, hiding exponents and self-avoiding walks in a wedge

description: This article employs Schramm-Loewner Evolution to obtain intersection exponents for several chordal $SLE_{8/3}$ curves in a wedge. As $SLE_{8/3}$ is believed to describe the continuum limit of self-avoiding walks, these exponents correspond to those obtained by Cardy, Duplantier and Saleur for self-avoiding walks in an arbitrary wedge-shaped geometry using conformal invariance based arguments. Our approach builds on work by Werner, where the restriction property for $SLE(κ,ρ)$ processes and an absolute continuity relation allow the calculation of such exponents in the half-plane. Furthermore, the method by which these results are extended is general enough to apply to the new class of hiding exponents introduced by Werner.

Three essays in the dynamic analysis of demand for factors of production
Creators: name: Morrison, Catherine J.
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: This dissertation consists of three essays focussing on various theoretical extensions and empirical implementations of a model characterizing the dynamic input demand behavior of the firm. The analysis is based on recent developments on optimal investment decisions over time subject to increasing marginal costs of adjustment. Theoretical extensions to the model include the incorporation of (i) monopoly behavior based on profit maximization with both internal and external costs of adjustment on gross investment (Essay 1) and (ii) non-static output and price expectations (Essay 2). Both theoretical models are empirically implemented using annual U.S. manufacturing data, 1948-77. Results from the various specifications can therefore be analyzed and contrasted. Essay 3 consists of an application of the alternative models to measures of capacity utilization specified in terms of the explicit dynamic optimization model of the firm's behavior. Various derivations and interpretations of these measures for alternative theoretical specifications are developed and compared, both analytically and empirically. The three essays are linked by a common structural model which provides a basis for incorporation of different behavioral assumptions, and for examination and comparison of the various models in terms of demand elasticities, cyclical indicators such as multifactor productivity and Tobin's "q", and capacity utilization.

description: We investigate the chemical evolution of the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC) based on abundance data of planetary nebulae (PNe). The main goal is to investigate the time evolution of the oxygen abundance in this galaxy by deriving an age-metallicity relation. Such a relation is of fundamental importance as an observational constraint of chemical evolution models of the SMC. We have used high quality PNe data in order to derive the properties of the progenitor stars, so that the stellar ages could be estimated. We collected a large number of measured spectral fluxes for each nebula, and derived accurate physical parameters and nebular abundances. New spectral data for a sample of SMC PNe obtained between 1999 and 2002 are also presented. These data are used together with data available in the literature to improve the accuracy of the fluxes for each spectral line. We obtained accurate chemical abundances for PNe in the Small Magellanic Cloud, which can be useful as tools in the study of the chemical evolution of this galaxy and of Local Group galaxies. We present the resulting oxygen versus age diagram and a similar relation involving the [Fe/H] metallicity based on a correlation with stellar data. We discuss the implications of the derived age-metallicity relation for the SMC formation, in particular by suggesting a star formation burst in the last 2-3 Gyr.

description: We present the detection of an enormous disc of cool neutral hydrogen (HI) gas surrounding the S0 galaxy NGC 612, which hosts one of the nearest powerful radio sources (PKS 0131-36). Using the Australia Telescope Compact Array, we detect M_HI = 1.8 x 10^9 M_sun of HI emission-line gas that is distributed in a 140 kpc wide disc-like structure along the optical disc and dust-lane of NGC 612. The bulk of the gas in the disc appears to be settled in regular rotation with a total velocity range of 850 km/s, although asymmetries in this disc indicate that perturbations are being exerted on part of the gas, possibly by a number of nearby companions. The HI disc in NGC 612 suggests that the total mass enclosed by the system is M_enc ~ 2.9 x 10^12 sin^-2(i) M_sun, implying that this early-type galaxy contains a massive dark matter halo. We also discuss an earlier study by Holt et al. that revealed the presence of a prominent young stellar population at various locations throughout the disc of NGC 612, indicating that this is a rare example of an extended radio source that is hosted by a galaxy with a large-scale star-forming disc. In addition, we map a faint HI bridge along a distance of 400 kpc in between NGC 612 and the gas-rich (M_HI = 8.9 x 10^9 M_sun) barred galaxy NGC 619, indicating that likely an interaction between both systems occurred. From the unusual amounts of HI gas and young stars in this early-type galaxy, in combination with the detection of a faint optical shell and the system's high infra-red luminosity, we argue that either ongoing or past galaxy interactions or a major merger event are a likely mechanism for the triggering of the radio source in NGC 612. This paper is part of an ongoing study to map the large-scale neutral hydrogen properties of nearby radio galaxies. --abridged--

description: The largest tau neutrino dataset to date is IceCube's atmospheric tau neutrino appearance dataset containing $>1,000$ tau neutrino and antineutrino events as determined by a fit to a standard three-flavor oscillation framework. On an event-by-event basis, however, it is impossible to know that any given event is a tau neutrino as they are identical to either an electron neutrino charged-current event or a neutral-current interaction of any active flavor. Nonetheless, we conclusively show that, using only the cascade sample even without knowledge of the oscillation parameters and without assuming that the lepton mixing matrix is unitary, tau neutrino identification is still possible and there is no viable scenario in which all of the tau neutrino candidates are actually electron neutrinos. This is primarily due to the matter effect and the tau lepton production threshold, as well as the fact that tau neutrinos are systematically reconstructed at a lower energy than electron neutrinos due to one or more outgoing neutrinos. This conclusively shows that it is possible for an atmospheric neutrino oscillation experiment to confirm that $U_{\tau1}$, $U_{\tau2}$, and $U_{\tau3}$ are not all zero even with limited particle identification.

description: Cohesion policy has become the key EU policy based on its share in the EU budget. This policy is supposed to help the EU regions to develop and thus increase socio-economic cohesion among them. Yet, given the recent EU crises and still uncertain willingness of all its Member States to continue the common project, there is a question whether it should also support increasing citizens’ identification with the EU. The paper is based on the case studies conducted in two Polish regions within PERCEIVE, a Horizon 2020 project, and aims at presenting challenges of cohesion policy in Poland. The results show that Polish case study regions, despite the differences in the level of their socio-economic development, face the same challenges to the cohesion policy. Moreover, these challenges are a clear set of policy recommendation for the reform of the cohesion policy and they all concentrate around trust, both among citizens, between citizens and authorities, and among different levels of administration and political power.
Energy and magnetic moment of a quantum charged particle in time dependent magnetic and electric fields of circular and plane solenoids

description: We consider a quantum spinless nonrelativistic charged particle moving in the $xy$ plane under the action of a time-dependent magnetic field, described by means of the linear vector potential ${\bf A}=B(t)\PG{-y(1+α),x(1-α)}/2$, with two fixed values of the gauge parameter $α$: $α=0$ (the circular gauge) and $α=1$ (the Landau gauge). Although the magnetic field is the same in all the cases, the systems with different values of the gauge parameter are not equivalent for nonstationary magnetic fields due to different structures of induced electric fields, whose lines of force are circles for $α=0$ and straight lines for $α=1$. We derive general formulas for the time-dependent mean values of the energy and magnetic moment, as well as for their variances, for an arbitrary function $B(t)$. They are expressed in terms of solutions to the classical equation of motion $\ddot\vep +ω_α^2(t) \vep=0$, with $ω_1=2ω_0$. Explicit results are found in the cases of the sudden jump of magnetic field, the parametric resonance, the adiabatic evolution, and for several specific functions $B(t)$, when solutions can be expressed in terms of elementary or hypergeometric functions. These examples show that the evolution of the mentioned mean values can be rather different for the two gauges, if the evolution is not adiabatic. It appears that the adiabatic approximation fails when the magnetic field goes to zero. Moreover, the sudden jump approximation can fail in this case, as well. The case of slowly varying field changing its sign seems especially interesting. In all the cases, fluctuations of the magnetic moment are very strong, frequently exceeding the square of the mean value.

description: Statistical signal processing applications usually require the estimation of some parameters of interest given a set of observed data. These estimates are typically obtained either by solving a multi-variate optimization problem, as in the maximum likelihood (ML) or maximum a posteriori (MAP) estimators, or by performing a multi-dimensional integration, as in the minimum mean squared error (MMSE) estimators. Unfortunately, analytical expressions for these estimators cannot be found in most real-world applications, and the Monte Carlo (MC) methodology is one feasible approach. MC methods proceed by drawing random samples, either from the desired distribution or from a simpler one, and using them to compute consistent estimators. The most important families of MC algorithms are Markov chain MC (MCMC) and importance sampling (IS). On the one hand, MCMC methods draw samples from a proposal density, building then an ergodic Markov chain whose stationary distribution is the desired distribution by accepting or rejecting those candidate samples as the new state of the chain. On the other hand, IS techniques draw samples from a simple proposal density, and then assign them suitable weights that measure their quality in some appropriate way. In this paper, we perform a thorough review of MC methods for the estimation of static parameters in signal processing applications. A historical note on the development of MC schemes is also provided, followed by the basic MC method and a brief description of the rejection sampling (RS) algorithm, as well as three sections describing many of the most relevant MCMC and IS algorithms, and their combined use.

The role of rotation on Petersen Diagrams. II The influence of near-degeneracy

description: In the present work, the effect of near-degeneracy on rotational Petersen diagrams (RPD) is analysed. Seismic models are computed considering rotation effects on both equilibrium models and adiabatic oscillation frequencies (including second-order near-degeneracy effects). Contamination of coupled modes and coupling strength on the first radial modes are studied in detail. Analysis of relative intrinsic amplitudes of near-degenerate modes reveals that the identity of the fundamental radial mode and its coupled quadrupole pair are almost unaltered once near-degeneracy effects are considered. However, for the first overtone, a mixed radial/quadrupole identity is always predicted. The effect of near-degeneracy on the oscillation frequencies becomes critical for rotational velocities larger than 15-20 km/s, for which large wriggles in the evolution of the period ratios are obtained (up $10^{-2}$). Such wriggles imply uncertainties, in terms of metallicity determinations using RPD, reaching up to 0.50 dex, which can be critical for Pop. I HADS (High Amplitude \dss). In terms of mass determinations, uncertainties reaching up to 0.5 M_sun are predicted. The location of such wriggles is found to be independent of metallicity and rotational velocity, and governed mainly by the avoided-crossing phenomenon.

description: This demonstrates two scenarios.

 

The first scenario demonstrates a hypothetical situation of a dilemma upon whether PhD students are eligible for publications in disciplines different from theirs, and the issues regarding research integrity when it comes to the heterogeneity or homogeneity between proofreading and real contribution.

 

The second scenario displays a hypothetical dilemma emerged in grey area of PhD funding. It depicts a situation in which scholarship students with less specified regulation face the decision-making of whether take part in projects and research other than the ones under their own supervisors.

description: Active speaker detection (ASD) seeks to detect who is speaking in a visual scene of one or more speakers. The successful ASD depends on accurate interpretation of short-term and long-term audio and visual information, as well as audio-visual interaction. Unlike the prior work where systems make decision instantaneously using short-term features, we propose a novel framework, named TalkNet, that makes decision by taking both short-term and long-term features into consideration. TalkNet consists of audio and visual temporal encoders for feature representation, audio-visual cross-attention mechanism for inter-modality interaction, and a self-attention mechanism to capture long-term speaking evidence. The experiments demonstrate that TalkNet achieves 3.5% and 2.2% improvement over the state-of-the-art systems on the AVA-ActiveSpeaker dataset and Columbia ASD dataset, respectively. Code has been made available at: https://github.com/TaoRuijie/TalkNet_ASD.

Regulation of rat hepatic phosphatidylcholine biosynthesis
Creators: name: Pelech, Steven
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2010

description: Several model systems were investigated to elucidate the mechanisms by which rat liver phosphatidylcholine synthesis is controlled. CTP: phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase was clearly the key regulatory enzyme for phosphatidylcholine formation from choline. This ambiquitous enzyme was detected in both the cytosolic and microsomal fractions of rat liver, although the majority of the cytidylyltransferase occurred in the soluble fraction. The distribution of cytidylyltransferase between these fractions was altered when the rate of phosphatidylcholine synthesis was perturbed. Translocation of cytidylyltransferase was observed in rat liver during early development, with starvation and during a diurnal rhythm. A redistribution of cytidylyltransferase was also detected in isolated hepatocytes which were treated with glucagon, cAMP analogues or fatty acids bound to albumin. The rate of phosphatidylcholine synthesis was found to reflect the amount of microsomal cytidylyltransferase activity. The inhibition of phosphatidylcholine synthesis by glucagon or cAMP analogues was likely due to phosphorylation and inhibition of the cytidylyltransferase. Several lines of evidence indicated that the cytidylyltransferase in fresh rat liver cytosol was probably phosphorylated and activated upon dephosphorylation by endogenous phosphoprotein phosphatases or alkaline phosphatase from hog intestine. Although the phosphorylation of cytidylyltransferase was apparently kinetically "silent", dephosphorylation resulted in an increased affinity of the enzyme for membranes. Fatty acids stimulated de novo phosphatidylcholine synthesis by acceleration of the cytidylyl-transferase-catalyzed reaction. Fatty acids and their CoA derivatives were shown to stimulate the cytosolic cytidylyltransferase activity. However, these compounds failed to activate partially purified cytidylyltransferase appreciably. Apparently, fatty acids, like dephosphorylation, enhanced the tenacity of cytidylyltransferase for membranes. Upon binding to membranes, cytidylyltransferase activity could be elevated up to 45-fold, and the affinity of the enzyme for the substrate, CTP, was increased 20-fold. The influence of glucagon, cAMP analogues and fatty acids on the synthesis of phosphatidylcholine by successive N-methylation was also examined in isolated rat hepatocytes. Glucagon and cAMP analogues inhibited the methylation pathway in these cells, but the activity of microsomal phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase was elevated. Fatty acids also reduced the formation of phosphatidylcholine from phosphatidylethanolamine. Fatty acids and their CoA derivatives directly inhibited the phosphatidylethanolamine methyltransferase in rat liver microsomes. The coordinate control of hepatic phosphatidylcholine synthesis by cAMP and fatty acids may be important during starvation when the intracellular levels of these compounds are increased.
Sparse expansions of multicomponent oxide configuration energy using coherency & redundancy

description: Compressed sensing has become a widely accepted paradigm to construct high dimensional cluster expansion models used for statistical mechanical studies of atomic configuration in complex multicomponent crystalline materials. However, strict sampling requirements necessary to obtain minimal coherence measurements for compressed sensing to guarantee accurate estimation of model parameters are difficult and in some cases impossible to satisfy due to the inability of physical systems to access certain configurations. Nevertheless, the dependence of energy on atomic configuration can still be adequately learned without these strict requirements by using compressed sensing by way of coherent measurements using redundant function sets known as frames. We develop a particular frame constructed from the union of all occupancy-based cluster expansion basis sets. We illustrate how using this highly redundant frame yields sparse expansions of the configuration energy of complex oxide materials that are competitive and often surpass the prediction accuracy and sparsity of models obtained from standard cluster expansions.
