description: We show how quantum-inspired 2d tensor networks can be used to efficiently and accurately simulate the largest quantum processors from IBM, namely Eagle (127 qubits), Osprey (433 qubits) and Condor (1121 qubits). We simulate the dynamics of a complex quantum many-body system -- specifically, the kicked Ising experiment considered recently by IBM in Nature 618, p. 500-505 (2023) -- using graph-based Projected Entangled Pair States (gPEPS), which was proposed by some of us in PRB 99, 195105 (2019). Our results show that simple tensor updates are already sufficient to achieve very large unprecedented accuracy with remarkably low computational resources for this model. Apart from simulating the original experiment for 127 qubits, we also extend our results to 433 and 1121 qubits, and for evolution times around 8 times longer, thus setting a benchmark for the newest IBM quantum machines. We also report accurate simulations for infinitely-many qubits. Our results show that gPEPS are a natural tool to efficiently simulate quantum computers with an underlying lattice-based qubit connectivity, such as all quantum processors based on superconducting qubits.

description: We present a next-to-leading-order (NLO) study of the process $pp \; ( \to \{ h_1, h_2 \}) \to t\bar{t} + X$ in the 1-Higgs-singlet extension of the Standard Model with an additional heavy Higgs boson $h_2$ that mixes with the light Higgs boson $h_1$. This process is subject to large interference effects between loop-induced Higgs-mediated amplitudes and the QCD continuum background which tend to overcompensate any resonance contributions. A reliable modelling of the resulting top-pair invariant mass shapes requires the inclusion of higher-order QCD corrections, which are presented here. The computation of these NLO corrections is exact in all contributions but in the class of non-factorisable two-loop diagrams which are included in an approximate way such that all infrared singular limits are preserved. We present numerical results for several benchmark points with heavy Higgs masses in the range $700$--$3000$ GeV considering the production of stable top quarks. We find that the interference effects dominate the BSM signal yielding sharp dip structures instead of resonance peaks. The significance and excludability of the BSM effect is explored for the LHC Run 2, Run 3 and HL-LHC.

Subjects: subject: High Energy Physics - Phenomenology (hep-ph)

description: We explore a connection between virtual particles of quantum electrodynamics and quantum chromodynamics (QCD) which is predicted to give rise to a residual attractive interaction measurable as a macroscopic force. We calculate the asymptotic behavior of relevant scattering amplitudes, perform their resummation, and analyze the sign of the resulting interaction. Then, we calculate the primary experimentally observable consequences of this Standard Model force. We discuss the impact of this force at terrestrial scales and at astrophysical scales. In particular, we quantify the impact of this force on the warm ionized medium present in galaxies and the intracluster medium present in cluster of galaxies.

description: Three refined and refined harmonic extraction-based Jacobi--Davidson (JD) type methods are proposed, and their thick-restart algorithms with deflation and purgation are developed to compute several generalized singular value decomposition (GSVD) components of a large regular matrix pair. The new methods are called refined cross product-free (RCPF), refined cross product-free harmonic (RCPF-harmonic) and refined inverse-free harmonic (RIF-harmonic) JDGSVD algorithms, abbreviated as RCPF-JDGSVD, RCPF-HJDGSVD and RIF-HJDGSVD, respectively. The new JDGSVD methods are more efficient than the corresponding standard and harmonic extraction-based JDSVD methods proposed previously by the authors, and can overcome the erratic behavior and intrinsic possible non-convergence of the latter ones. Numerical experiments illustrate that RCPF-JDGSVD performs better for the computation of extreme GSVD components while RCPF-HJDGSVD and RIF-HJDGSVD suit better for that of interior GSVD components.

description: Davemaoite, i.e., $CaSiO_3$ perovskite (CaPv), is the third most abundant phase in the lower mantle and exhibits a tetragonal-cubic phase transition at high pressures and temperatures. The phase boundary in CaPv has recently been proposed to be close to the cold slab adiabatic and cause mid-mantle seismic wave speed anomalies (Thomson et al., Nature 572, 643, 2019). In this study, we utilized accurate deep-learning-based simulations and thermodynamic integration techniques to compute free energies at temperatures ranging from 300 to 3,000 K and pressures up to 130 GPa. Our results indicate that CaPv exhibits a single cubic phase throughout lower-mantle conditions. This suggests that the phase diagram proposed by Thomson et al. requires revision, and mid-mantle seismic anomalies are likely attributable to other mechanisms.

description: This master's thesis investigates the feasibility and effectiveness of a gas sensor-based wound monitoring system. Specifically, it evaluates the BME688 gas sensor for detecting wound emissions. Chronic wounds, particularly those associated with diabetes, present a significant challenge in medical treatment due to their high risk of infection and difficulty in healing. Traditional methods for detecting wound infections, such as microbiological swabs and gas chromatography, are often costly and time-consuming.

In this study, the BME688 sensor, which incorporates four-in-one environmental sensors, the included gassensor was evaluated for its capability to detect bacterial volatile organic compounds (VOCs) emitted from wound sites. The research involved configuring the sensor using Bosch AI Studio, conducting microbiological experiments to simulate wound odors, and analyzing the sensor's performance in detecting specific VOCs indicative of infection.

The results demonstrated that the BME688 sensor could effectively identify bacterial growth associated with wound infections. The study highlights the potential for integrating this sensor into portable medical devices for real-time, non-invasive wound monitoring, thereby improving patient outcomes through timely detection and intervention. The findings contribute to the ongoing development of advanced sensor technologies in medical diagnostics.

This research was conducted at the Hochschule Stralsund – University of Applied Sciences in collaboration with the Competence Center for Diabetes at Karlsburg from Leibniz Institute for Plasma Research and Technology in Greifswald.

The benefits and costs of explainable artificial intelligence in visual quality control: Evidence from fault detection performance and eye movements

description: Visual inspection tasks often require humans to cooperate with AI-based image classifiers. To enhance this cooperation, explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) can highlight those image areas that have contributed to an AI decision. However, the literature on visual cueing suggests that such XAI support might come with costs of its own. To better understand how the benefits and cost of XAI depend on the accuracy of AI classifications and XAI highlights, we conducted two experiments that simulated visual quality control in a chocolate factory. Participants had to decide whether chocolate moulds contained faulty bars or not, and were always informed whether the AI had classified the mould as faulty or not. In half of the experiment, they saw additional XAI highlights that justified this classification. While XAI speeded up performance, its effects on error rates were highly dependent on (X)AI accuracy. XAI benefits were observed when the system correctly detected and highlighted the fault, but XAI costs were evident for misplaced highlights that marked an intact area while the actual fault was located elsewhere. Eye movement analyses indicated that participants spent less time searching the rest of the mould and thus looked at the fault less often. However, we also observed large interindividual differences. Taken together, the results suggest that despite its potentials, XAI can discourage people from investing effort into their own information analysis.

description: We present COIN-LIO, a LiDAR Inertial Odometry pipeline that tightly couples information from LiDAR intensity with geometry-based point cloud registration. The focus of our work is to improve the robustness of LiDAR-inertial odometry in geometrically degenerate scenarios, like tunnels or flat fields. We project LiDAR intensity returns into an intensity image, and propose an image processing pipeline that produces filtered images with improved brightness consistency within the image as well as across different scenes. To effectively leverage intensity as an additional modality, we present a novel feature selection scheme that detects uninformative directions in the point cloud registration and explicitly selects patches with complementary image information. Photometric error minimization in the image patches is then fused with inertial measurements and point-to-plane registration in an iterated Extended Kalman Filter. The proposed approach improves accuracy and robustness on a public dataset. We additionally publish a new dataset, that captures five real-world environments in challenging, geometrically degenerate scenes. By using the additional photometric information, our approach shows drastically improved robustness against geometric degeneracy in environments where all compared baseline approaches fail.

description: Frustrated Lewis pairs (FLPs) composed of acidic alane and basic phosphane functions, separated by a xanthene linker, can be prepared through the corresponding Me3Sn derivative and methyl aluminum compounds with elimination of Me4Sn. This way MeClAl-, Cl2Al- and (C6F5)2Al- moieties could be introduced and the resulting FLPs are stabilized by a further equivalent of the alane precursors. In contact with the FLPs CO2 is bound via the C atom at the phosphane functions and the two O atoms at the Al centers. The residues at the latter determine the binding strength. Hence, in case of MeClAl CO2 capture occurs at higher pressure and under ambient conditions CO2 is released again, while for Cl2Al and (C6F5)2Al CO2 binding becomes irreversible. The results of DFT calculations rationalize these findings by the high thermodynamic stabilization in case of more electronegative residues, which concomitantly lead to higher barriers, and in case of (C6F5)2Al further stabilization is achieved through a low reorganization energy.

description: We study the problem of training a flow-based generative model, parametrized by a two-layer autoencoder, to sample from a high-dimensional Gaussian mixture. We provide a sharp end-to-end analysis of the problem. First, we provide a tight closed-form characterization of the learnt velocity field, when parametrized by a shallow denoising auto-encoder trained on a finite number $n$ of samples from the target distribution. Building on this analysis, we provide a sharp description of the corresponding generative flow, which pushes the base Gaussian density forward to an approximation of the target density. In particular, we provide closed-form formulae for the distance between the mean of the generated mixture and the mean of the target mixture, which we show decays as $Θ_n(\frac{1}{n})$. Finally, this rate is shown to be in fact Bayes-optimal.

As Sudden Infant Death Syndrome still holds many unknown etiopathogenetic aspects and as analytic chemical instruments and methods have appreciably improved in the past years, samples of 35 corpses, represented by fetuses and newborns dead for natural causes, have been subjected to analytical research for xenobiotic substances. Kidney, liver, lung, brain, skin, and sometimes small amounts of hair, have been collected during autopsy, for a total of 151 samples. All the samples have been analyzed first by screening tests for toxicological substances and then by ICP-MS analysis for 61 different metals. At last, all the 151 samples have been subjected to UPLC/MS-MS technique for the relief and dosage of nicotine and cotinine.

SINGLE AND DUAL-DOMAIN MODELS TO ASSESS THE EFFECTS OF HETEROGENEITY ON THE SOLUTE TRANSPORT IN ALLUVIAL AQUIFERS
Creators: name: BARATELLI, FULVIA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: Groundwater contamination is a fundamental environmental concern, since aquifers are a major source of drinking water in many regions of the world. The effects of different sources of pollutants on water quality can be investigated through the modeling of water flow and solute transport in the aquifers.

An important issue to be addressed in the development of such models is the heterogeneity of the aquifers, which can occur at different spatial scales. The fine scale heterogeneity significantly affects the transport of contaminants at the scales of interest for practical applications.

The primary objective of this thesis is to implement some models to effectively describe non-reactive solute transport in heterogeneous alluvial aquifers, by considering the porous medium as either an equivalent homogeneous volume (single-domain model) or a superposition of two domains (dual-domain models). Specifically, the dual-porosity model assumes that water flows in only one of the two domains, which can exchange solute by diffusion. The dual-permeability models assume that water flows in both domains, which have different hydrodispersive parameters and can be coupled, i.e., they can exchange solute, or uncoupled.

These models are applied for the interpretation of some numerical tracer tests performed in portions of aquifers with different degrees of heterogeneity and at different scales: from a laboratory test on a decimeter-scale sand column, to numerical transport experiments on meter- and decameter-scale blocks of sediments, to an hectometer-scale field tracer test performed at the Cape Cod site.

The effective model parameters are linked to the heterogeneity pattern of the different tests and the ability of the different models to describe the effects of structured heterogeneity on the solute transport is compared.

The uncoupled dual-permeability model is shown to be the best one for alluvial aquifers characterized by the presence of preferential flow paths, which are connected bands of high-permeability sediments.

Thermodynamic and chemical properties of the intra-cluster medium in the outer regions of galaxy clusters
Creators: name: LECCARDI, ALBERTO
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2009

description: Clusters of galaxies are the most massive gravitationally bound systems in the universe.
They are permeated by a hot, X-ray emitting, intra-cluster medium (ICM), which represents
the dominant baryonic component. The key ICM observable quantities are its density, temperature, and chemical composition (in particular, the so-called metallicity).
Measuring the gas density is relatively simple, whereas measuring the temperature
and the metallicity of the ICM requires accumulating a spectrum and fitting it with
a plasma model. The aim of my thesis is the characterization of the radial properties
(especially temperature and metallicity) of the ICM, for a large sample of clusters of galaxies observed with XMM-Newton. Particular attention was paid to investigate and characterize the systematic effects that may affect measurements. I also employed simulations to examine how best to analyze spectra with poor statistical quality and find an unbiased estimator of the temperature (Leccardi & Molendi, 2007).
Finally, I reported some preliminary results obtained by investigating thermodynamic and
chemical properties of cluster cores for an enlarged sample from z = 0.02 to z = 0.25;
these results will be discussed in a forthcoming paper (Leccardi et al., in prep.).
The bulk of my thesis is based on two published papers, namely Leccardi & Molendi (2008a) and Leccardi & Molendi (2008b).

description: In double perovskite oxides (A$_2$BB$^\prime$O$_6$), magnetism often arises from diluted magnetic lattices, created by combining a perovskite structure with localized 3$d$ magnetic elements (B) alongside another perovskite lattice containing nearly nonmagnetic delocalized 4$d$/$5d$ elements (B$^\prime$). Alternatively, the magnetic lattice can consist entirely of 3$d$ elements, with one being completely nonmagnetic with $d^0$ state. La$_2$CoTiO$_6$ (LCTO), a representative double perovskite oxide, contains Ti in a nonmagnetic state with a $d^0$ electron configuration due to its $4^+$ oxidation state. Experimental evidence shows that LCTO possesses a monoclinic structure (space group $P2_1/n$) and behaves as an antiferromagnet with a Néel temperature of 14.6 K. Through first-principle electronic structure calculations, we uncover that adjusting external hydrostatic pressure induces a sequence of phase transitions: from antiferromagnetic insulator (AFM-I) to antiferromagnetic metal (AFM-M), and ultimately to itinerant nonmagnetic metal (NM-M). The transition from AFM-I to AFM-M at $\sim$ 42 GPa pressure coincides with a shift in spin states, moving from a high-spin (HS) state to a low-spin (LS) state, while Co retains a $d^7$ configuration. Distortion within the monoclinic structure under pressure plays a pivotal role in the spin-state transition. At the AFM-I to AFM-M transition, we observe a sharp decrease in the ratio of the octahedral volumes occupied by Co and Ti. Such change in ratio is linked to variations in octahedral volumes, akin to a breathing mode distortion. We explore the impact of the breathing mode distortion by examining a highly symmetric theoretical structure (space-group $I4/mmm$), achieved by optimizing the structure with all $\angle${Co-O-Ti} angles set to 180$^{\circ}$.
WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE AMONGST WOMEN. AN INVESTIGATION IN CONTEMPORARY NOVEL WRITING
Creators: name: BISCELLA, CHIARA
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: Aim of the dissertation is to investigate how Shakespearean drama has been appropriated by women writers through the centuries and how it still cross-fertilizes contemporary women?s fiction. The main argument is that the works of contemporary women writers move much beyond the simple concept of appropriation, which thus needs updating and revising. Although feminist and post-colonial perspectives could not be overlooked in the analysis of women?s writing, yet my research goes beyond these two critical approaches, which I believe do not really offer interesting critical and analytical tools to deeply examine the works of contemporary women novelists in relation to the Shakespearean corpus. The dissertation is structured into four chapters: the first one is an excursus in women?s appropriation of Shakespeare from the late sixteenth century to English modernism. From the second chapter onwards the focus is on four specific contemporary novels: Mama Day by Gloria Naylor (1988), Wise Children by Angela Carter (1991), Indigo by Marina Warner (1992), and The Children?s Book by Antonia Susan Byatt (2009). The second chapter maps the tangible presence of Shakespeare in the novels, looking at Shakespearean names and Shakespearean plays that continually crop up in all of them. The third chapter shows how all the narratives are informed by the concepts of matriarchy and utopia, whose relationship with Shakespearean drama has been explored in the lights of Foucault?s notion of heterotopia, Bakhtin?s idyllic chronotope and Aug�?s anthropological theory of non-places. An analysis of Shakespearean languages and themes has finally been conducted in the last chapter, which argues that Shakespearean drama not only shapes and modifies the very narrative framework of the four novels, challenging their belonging to a single literary genre, but also that specific Shakespearean themes are re-interpreted and re-read through a series of lenses: fantastic literature and its tropes, Freud?s essay on the uncanny, the Victorian culture as well as the African-American one, Greek and Latin literature.

description: Estimating model parameters of a general family of cure models is always a challenging task mainly due to flatness and multimodality of the likelihood function.

Posterior inference is carried out by constructing a Metropolis-coupled Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) sampler, which combines Gibbs sampling for the latent cure indicators and Metropolis-Hastings steps with Langevin diffusion dynamics for parameter updates. The main MCMC algorithm is embedded within a parallel tempering scheme by considering heated versions of the target posterior distribution. It is demonstrated via simulations that the proposed algorithm freely explores the multimodal posterior distribution and produces robust point estimates, while it outperforms maximum likelihood estimation via the Expectation-Maximization algorithm. A by-product of our Bayesian implementation is to control the False Discovery Rate when classifying items as cured or not. Finally, the proposed method is illustrated in a real dataset which refers to recidivism for offenders released from prison; the event of interest is whether the offender was re-incarcerated after probation or not.

MEASUREMENT OF HIGH-ENERGY GAMMA RAYS TO STUDY THE DYNAMICAL DIPOLE EMISSION AND THE ISOSPIN MIXING
Creators: name: GIAZ, AGNESE
Publisher: name: Universit� degli Studi di Milano
Year: 2013

description: The study of the collective properties of a nuclear system is a powerful tool to understand the structure which lies inside the nucleus. A successful technique which was used in this field is the measurement of the gamma decay of the collective Giant Dipole Resonance (GDR) as a probe to understand structural or dynamical aspect of the nucleus.
In this work, using fusion-evaporation reactions, it was possible to study i) the yield of the high-energy gamma-ray emission of the Dynamical Dipole (DD) for the system 16O + 116Sn at 12 MeV/u, which takes place during the compound nucleus formation process if there an N/Z asymmetry; and ii) the degree of isospin mixing at finite temperature in the decay of N=Z nucleus 80Zr at T=2.4 MeV using the 40Ca + 40Ca fusion-evaporation reaction. Both experiments were performed at the Laboratori Nazionali di Legnaro using the HECTOR and its upgraded version (HECTOR+) arrays coupled to the GARFIELD array and to the AGATA Demonstrator respectively.
The data on the measurement of the DD total yield shows that it has a weak but evident dependence on the beam energy, reproduced by theoretical calculations. These data does not confirm the rise and fall behavior present in previous work (not explained by theory).
The preliminary analysis (detector calibration, detector performance and data reduction) will be described for the isospin mixing experiment. In such experiment an array of large volume LaBr3:Ce detectors was used for the first time. A study of the in-beam performances of such array was carried out, together with a characterization of large volume LaBr3:Ce detectors.

CRITERIA: a New Benchmarking Paradigm for Evaluating Trajectory Prediction Models for Autonomous Driving

description: Benchmarking is a common method for evaluating trajectory prediction models for autonomous driving. Existing benchmarks rely on datasets, which are biased towards more common scenarios, such as cruising, and distance-based metrics that are computed by averaging over all scenarios. Following such a regiment provides a little insight into the properties of the models both in terms of how well they can handle different scenarios and how admissible and diverse their outputs are. There exist a number of complementary metrics designed to measure the admissibility and diversity of trajectories, however, they suffer from biases, such as length of trajectories.
 In this paper, we propose a new benChmarking paRadIgm for evaluaTing trajEctoRy predIction Approaches (CRITERIA). Particularly, we propose 1) a method for extracting driving scenarios at varying levels of specificity according to the structure of the roads, models' performance, and data properties for fine-grained ranking of prediction models; 2) A set of new bias-free metrics for measuring diversity, by incorporating the characteristics of a given scenario, and admissibility, by considering the structure of roads and kinematic compliancy, motivated by real-world driving constraints. 3) Using the proposed benchmark, we conduct extensive experimentation on a representative set of the prediction models using the large scale Argoverse dataset. We show that the proposed benchmark can produce a more accurate ranking of the models and serve as a means of characterizing their behavior. We further present ablation studies to highlight contributions of different elements that are used to compute the proposed metrics.

description: We study Anderson localization in disordered tight-binding models on hyperbolic lattices. Such lattices are geometries intermediate between ordinary two-dimensional crystalline lattices, which localize at infinitesimal disorder, and Bethe lattices, which localize at strong disorder. Using state-of-the-art computational group theory methods to create large systems, we approximate the thermodynamic limit through appropriate periodic boundary conditions and numerically demonstrate the existence of an Anderson localization transition on the $\{8,3\}$ and $\{8,8\}$ lattices. We find unusually large critical disorder strengths, determine critical exponents, and observe a strong finite-size effect in the level statistics.

description: Dynamic behaviors of a physical system often originate from its spectral properties. In open systems, where the effective non-Hermitian description enables a wealth of spectral structures on the complex plane, the concomitant dynamics is significantly enriched, whereas the identification and comprehension of the underlying connections are challenging. Here we experimentally demonstrate the correspondence between the transient self acceleration of local excitations and the non-Hermitian spectral topology using lossy photonic quantum walks. Focusing first on one-dimensional quantum walks, we show that the measured short-time acceleration of the wave function is proportional to the area enclosed by the eigenspectrum. We then reveal similar correspondence in two-dimension quantum walks, where the self acceleration is proportional to the volume enclosed by the eigenspectrum in the complex parameter space. In both dimensions, the transient self acceleration crosses over to a long-time behavior dominated by a constant flow at the drift velocity. Our results unveil the universal correspondence between spectral topology and transient dynamics, and offer a sensitive probe for phenomena in non-Hermitian systems that originate from spectral geometry.

description: In this paper, we investigate the topological numbers of the four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole, $d$-dimensional Reissner-Nordström (RN) black hole, $d$-dimensional singly rotating Kerr black hole and five-dimensional Gauss-Bonnet black hole via the Rényi statistics. We find that the topological number calculated via the Rényi statistics is different from that obtained from the Gibbs-Boltzmann (GB) statistics. However, what is interesting is that the topological classifications of different black holes are consistent in both the Rényi and GB statistics: the four-dimensional RN black hole, four-dimensional and five-dimensional singly rotating Kerr black holes, five-dimensional charged and uncharged Gauss-Bonnet black holes belong to the same kind of topological class, and the four-dimensional Schwarzschild black hole and $d(>5)$-dimensional singly rotating Kerr black holes belong to another kind of topological class. In addition, our results suggest that the topological numbers calculated via the Rényi statistics in asymptotically flat spacetime background are equal to those calculated from the standard GB statistics in asymptotically AdS spacetime background, which provides more evidence for the connection between the nonextensivity of the Rényi parameter $λ$ and the cosmological constant $Λ$.
