description: In the limit when the two-body scattering length $a$ is negative and much larger than the effective two-body interaction radius the contribution to the ground state energy due to the three-body correlations is given by the Efimov effect. For particular values of the diluteness parameter $ρ|a|^3$ the three-body contribution can become the dominant term of the energy density functional. Under these conditions both Bose-Einstein and Fermi-Dirac systems could become self-bound and either boson droplets or fermion ``designer nuclei'' of various sizes and densities could be manufactured.

description: The EGRET telescope has repeatedly observed 3EG J1835+5918 as a bright and steady source of high-energy gamma-ray radiation which has not yet been indentified. EGRET data from CGRO observation cycle 1 to 7 have been reanalysed above 100 MeV and above 1 GeV. The gamma-ray source location represents the latest and probably final positional assessment based on EGRET data. We especially adress the question of flux variability and spectral variability. The results of a X-ray/optical identification campaign towards 3EG J1835+5918 are given. The one object which might be associated with the gamma-ray source 3EG J1835+5918 has the characteristics of an isolated neutron star and possible of a radio-quiet pulsar.

description: The two-step dehydroxylation of illite is studied using the differential scanning calorimetry on powder samples with heating rates from 1 to 10 $°$C min$^{-1}$ in a dynamic argon atmosphere. The values of apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor are calculated using the Kissinger method. The determined values of apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor of trans-vacant layer dehydroxylation are $(227 \pm 6)$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ and $(2.87 \pm 0.09) \times 10^{13}$ min$^{-1}$, respectively. The results also show that this process can be characterized by 1D diffusion controlled reaction with instantaneous nucleation rate. For the cis-vacant layer dehydroxylation, the values of apparent activation energy and pre-exponential factor are $(242 \pm 10)$ kJ mol$^{-1}$ and $(5.37 \pm 0.23) \times 10^{12}$ min$^{-1}$, respectively. The value of Avrami peak factor for this step indicates diffusion controlled growth of the new phase with zero or decreasing nucleation rate.

description: 3.1.3. Trypanoxyuris kemuimae n. sp. (Fig. 3)
Description based on 17 specimens. Buccal aperture delimited by three lips, dorsal and left ventral lip are bilobulated; right ventral lip elongated; lobes in the left ventral lip asymmetrical with upper lobe larger than lower lobe (Fig. 3).
Females (n = 10): Lips show discrete lateral indentations in the upper border. Lateral alae double crested (Fig. 3). Measurements are given in Table 2.
 Males (n = 7). Measurements are given in Table 3. 3.1.3.1. Taxonomic summary. Type-host: A. seniculus (Linneus, 1766), red howler monkey. Site of infection: Not determined (samples were obtained from faeces).
 Type-locality: San Juan del Carare, Santander Department, Colombia (06̊ 43 N, 74̊ 09′W; 150 m. a.s.l.). Type material: Holotype: CNHE: No 11214, paratypes CNHE: No. 11215. No of individuals: 17/99 (17.2%) of the recovered specimens of Trypanoxyuris belong to this species.
 Etymology: The specific epithet derives from the Bora dialect for howler monkey “kemuime ”.
 3.1.3.2. Remarks. This species is distinguished from T. seunimii n. sp. and T. kotudoi n. sp. by the absence of notches in the lips; however, it is morphologically similar to T. minutus (Fig. 4), which can be found in mixed infections in red howler monkeys. The main feature to discriminate between these species is the elongated shape of the right ventral lip in T. kemuimae n. sp., rather than a more circular shape of this lip showed by T. minutus (Fig. 4). Caudal structures among males are similar, as well as egg size and shape, making these characters not useful for discriminating among species.

description: The effective on-site Coulomb interaction (Hubbard $U$) between 5$f$ electrons in actinide metals (Th-Cf) is calculated with the framework of density-functional theory (DFT) using linear response approach. The $U$ values seldom rely on the exchange-correlation functional, spin-orbital coupling, and magnetic states, but depend on the lattice volume and actinide element. Along the actinide series, the Coulomb parameter $U$ of $α$-phase first decreases slowly, followed by a jump in the vicinity of Pu and then a monotonous increase. For light actinides, the lattice volume has a sizeable influence on $U$ while the localization of 5$f$ electrons is almost constant. But for transplutonium metals, $U$ is almost independent of the lattice volume but the electronic localization increases rapidly. The calculated lattice parameters from DFT+$U$ with the Coulomb parameters as input are in better agreement with the experimental values than those from DFT within local density approximation or Perdew-Burke-Ernzerhof approximation for solids (PBEsol). In particular, the agreement between PBEsol+$U$ and experiment is remarkable. We show that PBEsol+$U$ also well reproduce the experimental bulk moduli and the transition from itinerancy to localization of 5$f$ electrons along the series. Therefore it is concluded that DFT+$U$ with $U$ calculated from linear response approach is suitable for a good description of actinide metals.

description: Recently we have shown that a one-parameter scaling, the Coherence Temperature, describes the physical behavior of several heavy fermions in a region of their phase diagram. In this paper we fully characterize this region, obtaining the uniform susceptibility, the resistivity and the specific heat. This allows for an explicit evaluation of the Wilson and the Kadowaki-Woods ratios in this regime. These quantities turn out to be independent of the distance to the critical point. The theory of the one-parameter scaling corresponds to a zero dimensional approach. Although spatial correlations are irrelevant in this case, time fluctuations are critically correlated and the quantum hyperscaling relation is satisfied for $d=0$. The crossover from $d=0$ to $d=3$ is smooth. It occurs at a lenght scale which is inversely related to the stiffness of the lifetime of the spin fluctuations.

description: Based on the spectral statistics obtained in numerical simulations on three dimensional disordered systems within the tight--binding approximation, a new superuniversal scaling relation is presented that allows us to collapse data for the orthogonal, unitary and symplectic symmetry ($β=1,2,4$) onto a single scaling curve. This relation provides a strong evidence for one-parameter scaling existing in these systems which exhibit a second order phase transition. As a result a possible one-parameter family of spacing distribution functions, $P_g(s)$, is given for each symmetry class $β$, where $g$ is the dimensionless conductance.

Design and Analysis of Quantum Algorithms for Quantum Computing and Communications
Creators: name: Zhang, Yao
Publisher: name: Lancaster University
Year: 2021

description: The quantum communication, from a conceptual point of view, is a technology that uses the information transmission of quantum media to communicate. It mainly includes technologies such as quantum key distribution (QKD) and quantum teleportation. This thesis proposes a potential application of QKD in multi-user networks. In this thesis, it focuses on Carrier-sense Multiple Access (CSMA) protocol, and analyses the use of carrier-sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) for QKD in the network. In addition, a multiple access QKD with channel detection protocol is also proposed. Quantum computing utilises the superposition and entanglement information of quantum states to operate and process, and its most significant advantage lies in the ”parallelism of operations”, that is, the quantum information of the superposition states is transformed once, which is equivalent to the simultaneous operation of the quantum information. Firstly, in this thesis, we propose a new quantum algorithm of calculating temporal difference to detect the moving objects in any videos. Our quantum algorithm has the complexity of calculating temporal difference in dynamic video object detection to be only O(1). Secondly, we propose a new method to encode classical input data into quantum states to represent a quantum neuron, which has a low-complexity form and can be easily utilised to construct a quantum neural network (QNN). QNN is a network which is to be composed of several quantum neurons. Thirdly, in this thesis, we re-formulate a quantum-classical hybrid model for QNN that proved to be effective, which is known as parameterised quantum circuit model, and explain it from the perspective of software design.

description: The ultrafast dynamic evolution of an atomic system under medium-strength laser fields is studied by performing transient absorption measurement. An analytical model developed from perturbation theory with a modified transition dipole moment is presented to explain the spectral features of the multilevel system. By fitting the measured absorption spectra to the model, the system's dynamic evolution is quantified by different amplitude and phase modulation factors in the pump--probe and probe--pump scenarios. This study provides a way to understand laser--matter interaction in the transition area between the strong-field and weak-field regimes.

Threshold electronic structure at the oxygen K edge of 3d transition metal oxides: a configuration interaction approach

Publisher: name: arXiv

Subjects: subject: Strongly Correlated Electrons (cond-mat.str-el)

description: It has been generally accepted that the threshold structure observed in the oxygen K edge X-ray absorption spectrum in 3d transition metal oxides represents the electronic structure of the 3d transition metal. There is, however, no consensus about the correct description. We present an interpretation, which includes both ground state hybridization and electron correlation. It is based on a configuration interaction cluster calculation using a MO6 cluster. The oxygen K edge spectrum is calculated by annihilating a ligand hole in the ground state and is compared to calculations representing inverse photoemission experiments in which a 3d transition metal electron is added. Clear differences are observed related to the amount of ligand hole created in the ground state. Two "rules" connected to this are discussed. Comparison with experimental data of some early transition metal compounds is made and shows that this simple cluster approach explains the experimental features quite well.

description: A class of exact solutions of Einstein's equations is analysed which describes uniformly accelerating charged black holes in an asymptotically de Sitter universe. This is a generalisation of the C-metric which includes a cosmological constant. The physical interpretation of the solutions is facilitated by the introduction of a new coordinate system for de Sitter space which is adapted to accelerating observers in this background. The solutions considered reduce to this form of the de Sitter metric when the mass and charge of the black holes vanish.

description: We present results of our Chandra observation with the ACIS-I instrument centered on the position of Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), the compact nonthermal radio source associated with the massive black hole (MBH) at the dynamical center of the Milky Way Galaxy. We have obtained the first high-spatial-resolution (~1 arcsec), hard X-ray (0.5-7 keV) image of the central 40 pc (17 arcmin) of the Galaxy and have discovered an X-ray source, CXOGC J174540.0-290027, coincident with the radio position of Sgr A* to within 0.35 arcsec, corresponding to a maximum projected distance of 16 light-days for an assumed distance to the center of the Galaxy of 8.0 kpc. We received 222 +/-17 (1 sigma) net counts from the source in 40.3 ks. Due to the low number of counts, the spectrum is well fit either by an absorbed power-law model with photon index Gamma = 2.7 (1.8-4.0) and column density NH = (9.8 [6.8-14.2]) x 10^22 cm^-2 (90% confidence interval) or by an absorbed optically thin thermal plasma model with kT = 1.9 (1.4-2.8) keV and NH = (11.5 [8.4-15.9]) x 10^22 cm^-2. Using the power-law model, the measured (absorbed) flux in the 2-10 keV band is (1.3 [1.1-1.7]) x 10^-13 ergs cm^-2 s^-1, and the absorption-corrected luminosity is (2.4 [1.8-5.4]) x 10^33 ergs s^-1. We also briefly discuss the complex structure of the X-ray emission from the Sgr A radio complex and along the Galactic plane and present morphological evidence that Sgr A* and Sgr A West lie within the hot plasma in the central cavity of Sgr A East.

description: In order to study the effect of interaction and lattice distortion on quantum coherence in one-dimensional Fermi systems, we calculate the ground state energy and the phase sensitivity of a ring of interacting spinless fermions on a dimerized lattice. Our numerical DMRG (Density Matrix Renormalization Group) studies, in which we keep up to 1000 states for systems of about 100 sites, are supplemented by analytical considerations using bosonization techniques. We find a delocalized phase for an attractive interaction, which differs from that obtained for random lattice distortions. The extension of this delocalized phase depends strongly on the dimerization induced modification of the interaction. Taking into account the harmonic lattice energy, we find a dimerized ground state for a repulsive interaction only. The dimerization is suppressed at half filling, when the correlation gap becomes large.

description: We report a comprehensive study on the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity (SHC) of semimetals MoTe2 and WTe2 by ab initio calculation. Large SHC and desirable spin Hall angles have been discovered, due to the strong spin orbit coupling effect and low charge conductivity in semimetals. Diverse anisotropic SHC values, attributed to the unusual reduced-symmetry crystalline structure, have been revealed. We report an effective method on SHC optimization by electron doping, and exhibit the mechanism of SHC variation respect to the energy shifting by the spin Berry curvature. Our work provides insights into the realization of strong spin Hall effects in 2D systems.

description: A simple pseudopotential model is proposed, which allows the phonon spectra and temperature dependence of the lattice heat capacity of Ir and Rh be described with a high enough accuracy. A careful comparison of the calculated and experimental values of the lattice heat capacity is carried out, with the procedure of the identification of the phonon contribution to the heat capacity and determination of the characteristics (momenta) of the phonon density of states from the experimental values of the total heat capacity of metal at a constant pressure being described in detail. The results of the theoretical calculations explain, in particular, such peculiar feature of Ir and Rh, unusual for cubic metals, as a sharp (more than by a factor of 1.5) decrease in the effective Debye temperature with increasing termperature. The temperature dependence of the mean square amplitude of atomic displacements in Ir and Rh has been calculated. Basing on the band calculations the manifestation of the Kohn singularities in the phonon spectra of Ir are discussed.

The Chinese government has implemented measures to reduce poverty in the country. Specifically, the Targeted Poverty Alleviation (2013–2020) policy is a set of unique, large-scale and precise poverty control measures undertaken by China in an effort to eliminate absolute poverty. Deeply impoverished areas in the mountainous regions of Southwest China are also particularly prone to geological disasters. A poverty control policy might reduce risk from natural disasters in this region by changing human behaviour. However, it is unclear how the risk might change under the government’s poverty control measures. This paper uses power-law relations and negative binomial regression to analyse primary economic losses from geological disasters in Yunnan Province between 2009 and 2017. The results of the analysis show that the relation between the level of economic development and disaster losses in Yunnan Province changed from an inverted-U shape to a U shape in this period. While direct economic losses from geological disasters are falling, we find that losses in wealthy counties Yunnan Province have not decreased significantly and might even be increasing. In impoverished areas, poverty alleviation policies reduce the economic losses of geological disasters by reducing the vulnerability and exposure, and increasing the resilience. On the contrary, poverty reduction measures promote a concentration of population and wealth in non-poor areas, increasing the vulnerability and exposure, which in turn lead to an increase in direct economic losses from geological disasters. Therefore, in order to consolidate the achievements of poverty alleviation projects, the government needs to pay attention to the transfer of geological disaster risk caused by the policy-driven transformation of human social behaviour.

description: An extensive body of modern scholarly work on mindfulness has focused on early Buddhist texts. However, such an approach by itself cannot explicate how mindfulness is practised in the present-day lived reality of various Buddhist traditions in the Buddhist monastic community. Based on an investigation of contemporary monastic life in Mainland China and Taiwan, this dissertation proposes that mindfulness is seen in Chan tradition as both the means and the goal of the perfect enlightenment of one’s true nature. As this implies, mindfulness is closely integrated into nearly every facet of Chan monastic life, as monks and nuns learn to unceasingly guard their minds against any unwholesomeness, and to dwell in the inherent tranquillity of the ‘true mind’, with the aim of attaining the state of wunian: the ultimate form of mindfulness. This ethnographic study is based on the author’s experience of living as a monastic in Chung Tai Chan Monastery in Taiwan between 2002 and 2012, and fieldwork data collected between 2015 and 2019 in Yunmen Dajue Chan Monastery in Mainland China. The thesis aims to establish that mindfulness is not a specific ‘exercise’, and that the phrase ‘mindfulness practice’ (zhengnian lianxi) is a misnomer in the lived context of these Chan monasteries. Rather, mindfulness is embedded in a broad array of these institutions’ moral rules, religious rituals, meditation practices, physical labour, and interpersonal interactions. It goes on to argue that the cultivation of mindfulness in these monastic settings is grounded in interpersonal webs of support, especially through two dynamics: living with and observing charismatic Chan masters, and mutual monitoring by peers. This reflects that mindfulness is not a practice that involves one’s inner mental progress alone, but is also supported and fostered by the awareness of and care for the mindfulness of others who share the monastic environment.

description: We construct a gravity dual to a system with multiple (2+1)-dimensional layers in a (3+1)-dimensional ambient theory. Following a top-down approach, we generate a geometry corresponding to the intersection of D3- and D5-branes along 2+1 dimensions. The D5-branes create a codimension one defect in the worldvolume of the D3-branes and are homogeneously distributed along the directions orthogonal to the defect. We solve the fully backreacted ten-dimensional supergravity equations of motion with smeared D5-brane sources. The solution is supersymmetric, has an intrinsic mass scale, and exhibits anisotropy at short distances in the gauge theory directions. We illustrate the running behavior in several observables, such as Wilson loops, entanglement entropy, and within thermodynamics of probe branes.

description: The asymmetric exclusion process on a ring in one-dimension is considered with a single defect particle. The steady state has previously been solved by a matrix product method. Here we use the Bethe ansatz to solve exactly for the long time limit behaviour of the generating function of the distance travelled by the defect particle. This allows us to recover steady state properties known from the matrix approach such as the velocity, and obtain new results such as the diffusion constant of the defect particle. In the case where the defect particle is a second class particle we determine the large deviation function and show that in a certain range the distribution of the distance travelled about the mean is Gaussian. Moreover the variance (diffusion constant) grows as L to the power 1/2 where is the system size. This behaviour can be related to the superdiffusive spreading of excess mass fluctuations on an infinite system. In the case where the defect particle produces a shock, our expressions for the velocity and the diffusion constant coincide with those calculated previously for an infinite system by Ferrari and Fontes.

description: Recently the energy emission from a naked singularity forming in spherical dust collapse has been investigated. This radiation is due to the particle creation in a curved spacetime. In this discussion, the central role is played by the mapping formula between the incoming and the outgoing null coordinates. For the self-similar model, this mapping formula has been derived analytically. But for the model with $C^{\infty}$ density profile, the mapping formula has been obtained only numerically. In the present paper, we argue that the singular nature of the mapping is determined by the local geometry around the point at which the singularity is first formed. If this is the case, it would be natural to expect that the mapping formula can be derived analytically. In the present paper, we analytically rederive the same mapping formula for the model with $C^{\infty}$ density profile that has been earlier derived using a numerical technique.

description: A quasi two-dimensional non-relativistic four-Fermi theory is studied at finite temperatures in the next-to-leading order approximation using the Coleman-Weinberg effective potential. The appearance of an imaginary part to the one-loop correction is discussed in the context of condensed matter theory where it is referred to as the Thouless criterion for superconductivity. By reference to the appropriate modified effective potential one may revise the Thouless criterion to obtain a critical temperature in next-to-leading order that, unlike the mean-field temperature, tends to zero in the two-dimensional limit in agreement with the Coleman theorem.

title: Numerical and experimental study on knocking combustion in turbocharged direct-injection engines for a wide range of operating conditions

description: A combined experimental and numerical study is conducted on knocking combustion in turbocharged direct-injection spark-ignition engines. The experimental study is based on parameter variations in the intake-manifold temperature and pressure, as well as the air-fuel equivalence ratio. The transition between knocking and non-knocking operating conditions is studied by conducting a spark timing sweep for each operating parameter. By correlating combustion and global knock quantities, the global knock trends of the mean cycles are identified. Further insight is gained by a detailed analysis based on single cycles. The extensive experimental data is then used as an input to support numerical investigations. Based on 0D knock modeling, the global knock trends are investigated for all operation points. Taking into consideration the influence of nitric oxide on auto-ignition significantly improves the knock model prediction. Additionally, the origin of the observed cyclic variability of knock is investigated. The crank angle at knock onset in 1000 consecutive single cycles is determined using a multi-cycle 0D knock simulation based on detailed single-cycle experimental data. The overall trend is captured well by the simulation, while fluctuations are underpredicted. As one potential reason for the remaining differences of the 0D model predictions local phenomena are investigated. Therefore, 3D CFD simulations of selected operating points are performed to explore local inhomogeneities in the mixture fraction and temperature. The previously developed generalized Knock Integral Method (gKIM), which considers the detailed kinetics and turbulence-chemistry interaction of an ignition progress variable, is improved and applied. The determined influence of spark timing on the mean crank angle at knock onset agrees well with experimental data. In addition, spatially resolved information on the expected position of auto-ignition is analyzed to investigate causes of knocking combustion.

description: We use a binary search tree and the simplex algorithm to measure the fraction of patterns that can be stored by an Ising perceptron. The algorithm is much faster than exhaustive search and allows us to obtain accurate statistics up to a system size of N=42. The results show that the finite size scaling ansatz Nadler and Fink suggest in [1] cannot be applied to estimate accurately the storage capacity from small systems.

Equivalent Constraints for Two-View Geometry: Pose Solution/Pure Rotation Identification and 3D Reconstruction

description: Two-view relative pose estimation and structure reconstruction is a classical problem in computer vision. The typical methods usually employ the singular value decomposition of the essential matrix to get multiple solutions of the relative pose, from which the right solution is picked out by reconstructing the three-dimension (3D) feature points and imposing the constraint of positive depth. This paper revisits the two-view geometry problem and discovers that the two-view imaging geometry is equivalently governed by a Pair of new Pose-Only (PPO) constraints: the same-side constraint and the intersection constraint. From the perspective of solving equation, the complete pose solutions of the essential matrix are explicitly derived and we rigorously prove that the orientation part of the pose can still be recovered in the case of pure rotation. The PPO constraints are simplified and formulated in the form of inequalities to directly identify the right pose solution with no need of 3D reconstruction and the 3D reconstruction can be analytically achieved from the identified right pose. Furthermore, the intersection inequality also enables a robust criterion for pure rotation identification. Experiment results validate the correctness of analyses and the robustness of the derived pose solution/pure rotation identification and analytical 3D reconstruction.

description: We study the current in a clean superconductor-normal-metal-superconductor junction of length d and width w in the presence of an applied magnetic field H. We show that both the geometrical pattern of the current density and the critical current as a function of the total flux in the junction, depend on the ratio of the Josephson vortex distance a_0 and the range r of the nonlocal electrodynamics. In particular, the critical current has the periodicity of the superconducting flux quantum only for ra_0. Comparing our results to recent experiments of Heida et al. [Phys. Rev. B 57, R5618 (1998)] we find good agreement.

description: The NEUT intranuclear cascade model is described and fit to a large body of \pipm--nucleus scattering data. Methods are developed to deal with deficiencies in the available historical data, and robust uncertainty estimates are produced. The results are compared to a variety of simulation packages, and the data itself. This work provides a method for tuning Final State Interaction models, which are of particular interest to neutrino experiments that operate in the few-GeV energy region, and provides results which can be used directly by the T2K and Super-Kamiokande collaborations, for whom NEUT is the primary simulation package.

description: We analyse here the gravitational collapse of directed null radiation in a background with a constant potential such as one produced by a star system like galaxy in which the collapsing object is immersed. Both naked singularities and black holes are shown to be developing as the final outcome of the collapse. An interesting feature that emerges is that a part of the naked singularity spectrum in collapsing Vaidya region gets covered in the corresponding dual-Vaidya region, which corresponds to the Vaidya directed null radiation sitting in constant potential bath. The implications of such a result towards the issue of stability of naked singularities are discussed.

description: The bulk of topological insulators is relatively unexplored due to excess contribution of conduction from native defects. Here we investigate the bulk conduction in a Bi2Te3 crystal having reduced defect induced conduction. Our results uncover the presence of three transport regimes which are dominated by thermal activation across bulk band gap, defect state charge conduction, and quantum coherent transport. The low temperature conductance and magnetoconductance reveal the presence of multichannel two dimensional quantum coherent transport in the bulk. The number of channels are of the order of quintuple layers, signifying each quintuple layer as a single transport channel. These transport channels exhibit two dimensional electron-electron interaction effect causing electron dephasing whereas the defect state bulk conduction exhibits three dimensional electron-electron interaction effect which vanishes on enhancement in defect induced charge carriers.
