description: Quantum computers must meet extremely stringent qualitative and quantitative requirements on their qubits in order to solve real-life problems. Quantum circuit fragmentation techniques divide a large quantum circuit into a number of sub-circuits that can be executed on the smaller noisy quantum hardware available. However, the process of quantum circuit fragmentation involves finding an ideal cut that has exponential time complexity, and also classical post-processing required to reconstruct the output. In this paper, we represent a quantum circuit using a weighted graph and propose a novel classical graph partitioning algorithm for selecting an efficient fragmentation that reduces the entanglement between the sub-circuits along with balancing the estimated error in each sub-circuit. We also demonstrate a comparative study over different classical and quantum approaches of graph partitioning for finding such a cut. We present {\it FragQC}, a software tool that cuts a quantum circuit into sub-circuits when its error probability exceeds a certain threshold. With this proposed approach, we achieve an increase of fidelity by 14.83\% compared to direct execution without cutting the circuit, and 8.45\% over the state-of-the-art ILP-based method, for the benchmark circuits.

description: Hannah Arendts Idee von Pluralität ist untrennbar mit ihrem Verständnis freiheitlichen Handelns verbunden und berührt daher den Kern ihres politischen Denkens. Pluralität als Ausdruck für Interaktion und Ergebnisoffenheit markiert somit den Anspruch, den Arendt an eine gelingende Ausformung freiheitlich fundierter Gemeinschaften stellt. Mit dieser Perspektive kann nicht nur Arendts Kritik am nationalstaatlichen Modell, sondern auch eine alternative Facette aufgezeigt werden: Die Idee des Föderalismus und dessen Fähigkeit, den aus Pluralität hervorgehenden Anforderungen an eine permeable Gesellschaftsordnung standzuhalten.

description: Deconfined quantum critical points (DQCPs) have been proposed as a class of continuous quantum phase transitions occurring between two ordered phases with distinct symmetry-breaking patterns, beyond the conventional framework of Landau-Ginzburg-Wilson (LGW) theory. At the DQCP, the system exhibits emergent gauge fields, fractionalized excitations, and enhanced symmetries. Here we review recent theoretical and experimental progress on exploring DQCPs in condensed matter systems. We first introduce theoretical advancements in the study of DQCPs over the past twenty years, particularly in magnetic models on square lattices, honeycomb lattices, kagome lattices, and one-dimensional spin chains. We then discuss recent progress on experimental realization of DQCP in quantum magnetic systems. Experimentally, the Shastry-Sutherland model, realized in SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$, offers a particularly promising platform for realizing DQCPs. The magnetic frustration inherent to this model drives phase transitions between two distinct symmetry-breaking states: a valence bond solid (VBS) phase and a Néel antiferromagnetic phase. Remarkably, SrCu$_2$(BO$_3$)$_2$ has provided the first experimental evidence of a proximate DQCP through a field-induced Bose-Einstein condensation, transitioning from the VBS state to the Néel state. Nevertheless, the direct experimental realization of a DQCP remains a significant challenge. Despite this, it offers a promising platform for exploring emergent phenomena through quantum phase transition in low-dimensional quantum systems.

Pluralität als „Konstitutionsprinzip“ der Politik
Creators: name: Meints-Stender, Waltraud
Publisher: name: HannahArendt.net
Year: 2018

description: Arendts Begriff der Pluralität entspringt einer Kritik der Philosophie von Martin Heidegger und wird ex negativo aus ihrer Analyse der „Elemente und Ursprünge totaler Herrschaft“ entwickelt. Es wird argumentiert, dass sich Pluralität nicht nur auf die Welt und auf das Selbst bezieht, sondern dass es eines Vermittlungsprozesses zwischen Welt und Selbst bedarf. In Gegenüberstellung zum Verständnis des Politischen bei Aristoteles und Carl Schmitt zeigt die Autorin, wie bei Arendt der Begriff der Pluralität den Politikbegriff durch Macht bestimmt, deren Legitimität auf einem politischen Urteilsvermögen beruht, das mit dem Konzept der Pluralität korrespondiert und die Bedingung der Möglichkeit enthält, Fragen sozialer Gerechtigkeit zu thematisieren. Arendt's concept of plurality springs from a critique of Martin Heidegger's philosophy and is developed ex negativo from its analysis of the "elements and origins of total dominion." It is argued that plurality is not just about the world and the self, but that it requires a mediation process between the world and the self. In contrast to the understanding of the political in Aristotle and Carl Schmitt, the author shows how in Arendt the concept of plurality determines the concept of politics through power, whose legitimacy is based on a political judgment that corresponds to the concept of plurality and contains the condition of possibility, to address issues of social justice.

As the mass is not an observable, a scaling relation is needed to link cluster masses to the integrated Compton parameters Y, i.e. the Sunyaev-Zeldovich observable (SZ). Planck cosmological results obtained with cluster number counts are based on a scaling relation measured with clusters at low redshift ($z$<0.5) observed in SZ and X-ray. In the SZ Large Program (LPSZ) of the NIKA2 collaboration, the scaling relation will be obtained with a sample of 38 clusters at intermediate to high redshift ($0.5

description: Inland waters play a crucial role in the global carbon cycle, with organic carbon (OC) burial in lake sediments constituting a removal of carbon from rapidly cycling Earth surface pools. However, the nature of sequestered OC has different climatic implications. The burial of recently synthesized terrestrial and aquatic biospheric OC represents a drawdown of atmospheric carbon. In contrast, the reburial of petrogenic OC exerts no net effect on atmospheric CO2  levels, while oxidation of petrogenic carbon releases CO2. Therefore, it is crucial to distinguish the origin of OC when quantifying lake sediment carbon budgets.
Radiocarbon (14C) is a powerful tool to distinguish between recent, pre-aged, and fossil carbon sources. Moreover, the 20th-Century radiocarbon “bomb spike” offers the possibility of constraining carbon dynamics and deconvolute inputs on decadal time scales through down-core investigation of lacustrine records including quantitatively disentangling different sources of OC, which exhibit contrasting susceptibilities to remineralization.
Switzerland hosts various lake catchments within different biogeographical ecoregions, experiencing contrasting degrees of climate change. We use these natural gradients to assess controls on the abundance, sources, and dynamics of OC accumulating within Swiss lake sediments over the last century. We combine 14C and stable δ13C isotope signatures of bulk OC from sediment cores from a range of lake systems to constrain the nature and dynamics of OC accumulation. These data form the foundation for more in-depth investigations using 14C measurements on source-specific biomarkers to constrain the temporal dynamics and transport pathways of biospheric carbon and to refine carbon stocktaking assessments.

description: Modular analysis is a mean to manage complexity in system design processes in order to achieve competitive advantage. It identifies highly interactive groups of components and/or functions which can potentially form good modules. Modularity has various virtues including deep understanding complex system, making complexity manageable, enabling parallel work and creating options etc. Baldwin and Clark claimed that the principles of modularity apply equally to social and legal institution as well as technologies in their book “Design rules: The power of Modularity”. Among various modular analysis approaches, Design Structure Matrix (DSM) method has proved to be an efficient matrix-based modelling and modularity analysis approach. It is a highly flexible, network modelling method with extensive applications in engineering management and many other fields. DSM has been a subject of research at the Capability Systems Centre in University New South of Wales, Canberra. We attempt to explain DSM methods and demonstrate a range of example applications (e.g. product modularity, multidisciplinary team organization, supply chain outsourcing, task sequencing), addressing a wide variety of problems in different industrial situations.

description: Compared to the wide array of advanced Monte Carlo methods supported by modern probabilistic programming languages (PPLs), PPL support for variational inference (VI) is less developed: users are typically limited to a predefined selection of variational objectives and gradient estimators, which are implemented monolithically (and without formal correctness arguments) in PPL backends. In this paper, we propose a more modular approach to supporting variational inference in PPLs, based on compositional program transformation. In our approach, variational objectives are expressed as programs, that may employ first-class constructs for computing densities of and expected values under user-defined models and variational families. We then transform these programs systematically into unbiased gradient estimators for optimizing the objectives they define. Our design enables modular reasoning about many interacting concerns, including automatic differentiation, density accumulation, tracing, and the application of unbiased gradient estimation strategies. Additionally, relative to existing support for VI in PPLs, our design increases expressiveness along three axes: (1) it supports an open-ended set of user-defined variational objectives, rather than a fixed menu of options; (2) it supports a combinatorial space of gradient estimation strategies, many not automated by today's PPLs; and (3) it supports a broader class of models and variational families, because it supports constructs for approximate marginalization and normalization (previously introduced only for Monte Carlo inference). We implement our approach in an extension to the Gen probabilistic programming system (genjax.vi, implemented in JAX), and evaluate on several deep generative modeling tasks, showing minimal performance overhead vs. hand-coded implementations and performance competitive with well-established open-source PPLs.

Year: 2018

description: Der Aufsatz skizziert, wie Hannah Arendt als Phänomenologin gelesen werden kann und legt die Grundzüge einer Interpretation ihres Werks als eine „Phänomenologie der Pluralität“ vor. Diese ist von zwei grundlegenden Thesen getragen: (1.) Arendts vielzitierter Begriff des „Politischen“ kann adäquat nur über eine Phänomenologie der Pluralität verständlich gemacht werden. (2.) Das Paradigma der Pluralität transformiert gleichzeitig klassische phänomenologische Methodologien und Grundbegriffe wie Intentionalität, Erscheinen, Erste-Person-Perspektive, Subjektivität, Intersubjektivität und Welt, und politisiert sie. Pluralität wird dabei verstanden als etwas, das wir tun, d.h. nicht als Substanz-, sondern als Vollzugsbegriff. Arendt geht es, phänomenologisch gesprochen, also um die Aktualisierung von Pluralität in einem Erscheinungsraum. Diese Interpretation betont die Vielfalt der irreduziblen Perspektiven auf eine gemeinsame Welt als interagierende Artikulation und als Sichtbarwerden / Erscheinen dieses je eigenen Perspektive-Seins und damit gleichzeitig als ständige Herstellung und Erhaltung einer gemeinsamen Welt. Dieses Bezugssystem konstituiert in mindestens ebensolcher Gewichtigkeit unsere Realität wie die gegenständliche Welt und wie die Bedingungsstrukturen unserer Existenz. Am Ende des Aufsatzes werden Grundthesen einer Ethik der Pluralität entwickelt.

description: Bound states in continuum (BICs) are localized states of a system possessing significantly large life times with applications across various branches of science. In this work, we propose an expedient protocol to engineer BICs which involves the use of Kerr nonlinearities in the system. The generation of BICs is a direct artifact of the nonlinearity and the associated expansion in the dimensionality of the system. In particular, we consider single and two mode anharmonic systems and provide a number of solutions apposite for the creation of BICs. In close vicinity to the BIC, the steady state response of the system is immensely sensitive to perturbations in natural frequencies of the system and we illustrate its propitious sensing potential in the context of experimentally realizable setups for both optical and magnetic nonlinearities.

Imaging noise sources: comparing and combining a matched-field processing technique with finite-frequency noise source inversions

Publisher: name: ETH Zurich
Year: 2021

description: Imaging the spatio-temporal variations of ambient seismic noise sources can provide important information to improve near real-time monitoring and noise tomography. Various methods have been developed to tackle this problem. For example, Matched-Field Processing (MFP) offers an efficient data-driven approach by testing different noise source locations and subsequently correlating and stacking. A more rigorous approach is treating it as a finite-frequency full-waveform inversion problem. In contrast to the MFP technique, an inversion framework allows for the incorporation of prior information and subsequent iterative updates of the noise source distribution by numerically modelling correlations and source sensitivity kernels. Bowden et al. (2020) discuss the similarities between these two methods and how one can be derived from the other. 

We aim to compare and contrast the two methods using real data from a regional to a global scale to locate the secondary microseismic sources in the ocean. Igel et al. (2021, in prep) use a logarithmic energy ratio as measurement for the sensitivity kernels, which is chosen due to its robustness with respect to unknown 3D Earth structures. However, some disadvantages of this type of measurement are not considering absolute amplitudes and discarding information outside of the expected surface wave arrival time window. By combining the two methods and first using MFP to create an initial model for the inversion, we are able to steer the inversion in the right direction, allowing us to use a more elaborate full-waveform measurement in the inversion and hence increasing the resolution and quality of the final model. 

Results for noise source inversions in the ocean on a daily basis using the combination of the two methods will be presented. This work paves the way for publicly available, daily, multi-scale ambient noise source maps.

description: Due to the difficulty to retrieve direct measurements and observations in the field, we use  laboratory and numerical models to study and better understand localization processes prior to  mainshocks. We use a triaxial machine (LabQuake) to perform a failure test on an intact sample  of Berea sandstone confined at 20 MPa. Employing in-house developed conical-type piezo-  electric transducers (PZT), which are absolutely calibrated and exhibit a flat and broadband  response between 100 kHz and 1.5 MHz, we are able to investigate the acoustic emission (AE)  clouds by relocating the single events and by computing their focal mechanisms and scalar  seismic moments. The PZT sensors are also used actively to account for velocity and anisotropy  changes in the sample during the test. Further, we capture the heterogeneous spatial distribution  of the surface strain field by deploying fiber optics cables on the sample surface. All these  measurements are used to validate numerical simulations of the experiment using a two-  dimensional continuum-based and fully coupled seismo-hydro-mechanical poro-visco-elasto-  plastic modelling tool (H-MEC). By combining laboratory observations with numerical  models, we are able to study physical mechanisms (e.g., viscous compaction of pores and rock  damage) which potentially explain the observed localization processes that produces both  acoustic emissions and surface strain concentrations occurring prior to the main fracture of the  sample.

description: We proposed a formally exact, probabilistic method to assess the validity of the Thomas-Fermi potential for three-dimensional condensed matter systems where electron dynamics is constrained to the Fermi surface. Our method, which relies on accurate solutions of the radial Schrödinger equation, yields the probability density function for momentum transfer. This allows for the computation of its expectation values, which can be compared with unity to confirm the validity of the Thomas-Fermi approximation. We applied this method to three {\it n}-type direct-gap III-V model semiconductors (GaAs, InAs, InSb) and found that the Thomas-Fermi approximation is certainly valid at high electron densities. In these cases, the probability density function exhibits the same profile, irrespective of the material under scrutiny. Furthermore, we show that this approximation can lead to serious errors in the computation of observables when applied to GaAs at zero temperature for most electron densities under scrutiny.

description: With the Bedretto Underground Laboratory for Geoscience, ETH Zurich has an excellent opportunity to gain a deeper insight into underground processes relevant for hydro-seismo-mechanical fractured granitic rock mass behaviour and subsequent applications. Improvement of state-of-the art equipment and research progress in geothermal energy, earthquake physics and rock stability can be achieved by conducting essential experiments directly into the fractured crystalline underground.
In an unique research infrastructure, it is possible to overcome the challenging transfer from small laboratory experiments to large-scale reservoir projects.
Within this work, the in-situ stress was mapped and characterised along three inclined boreholes of varying lengths (2 x 40 m and 216.5 m) in the Bedretto tunnel using two different methods: Mini-frac tests and Ellipticity analysis. The two methods focus on the local in-situ stress estimation and complement each other to improve understanding of the in-situ stress state.
The Mini-frac experiments were conducted to infer the minimum principal stress magnitude from fracture closure, shut-in and jacking pressure. In summary, the minimum principal stress has been most accurately estimated from the shut-in pressure. Based on the pressure decay analysis after the shut-in, a minimum principal stress of 15.6 ± 2.8 MPa was measured using the inflection point
method inside the short boreholes. An increase of the pore pressure with the depth from 2.5 to 3.7 MPa was detected. In the Ellipticity analysis, the borehole deformation is investigated using Acoustic televiewer data (ATV). An elliptical fitting on the borehole shape allowed inferring a continuous stress orientation profile along the boreholes. Hence, a maximum stress orientation of 77° ± 29°N was measured along the short boreholes and 151° ± 23°N along the long borehole.
Significant spatial intra- and inter-borehole variations of the prevailing local in-situ stress were observed. Natural and induced fractures and fault zones reveal to decrease and locally rotate the in-situ stress. Further, a significant influence of tunnel-induced effects on the stress along the boreholes was observed up to a distance of 4 times the tunnel diameter.
Compared to previous stress measurements, the combination of the two chosen methods allows a profound description of the stress distribution and anomalies in the underground of the Bedretto tunnel. This leads to extended understanding of fault reactivation, tunnel-induced effects, in-situ stress variability from local heterogeneities and fracture behaviour inside the crystalline underground.

description: Yan Fu 嚴復 (1854-1921) is widely considered to be a seminal translator, enlightenment thinker and pioneer educator in modern China. Contemporary Yan Fu studies has explored his translations and translation theory, his thought influenced by Western liberal thinkers, as well as his educational thought and practices. The three principal perspectives on his work and its significance are represented by prominent Yan Fu scholars Benjamin Schwartz, Li Zehou and Huang Kewu. While these three perspectives diverge in contentions concerning the overall thrust of Yan Fu’s thought, they nevertheless converge on his focus on education. Schwartz argued that Yan Fu’s intellectual endeavour was directed to the quest for national wealth and power, to which individual liberty could be subordinated; Huang Kewu acknowledged Yan Fu’s contribution to liberalism with Western outer values and Chinese inner ones; Li Zehou regarded Yan Fu as an enlightenment thinker and pioneer educator. In none of these perspectives, however, is entailed close attention to the core of the relationship between Yan Fu’s notion of liberty per se, and the specific educational philosophy he developed throughout his career. Importantly, what may have received too little attention has been the influence of Herbert Spencer’s work on Yan Fu’s vision for the aims and practices of education.
This thesis aims to investigate this relationship by examining the dynamics among Yan Fu’s pursuit of liberty, Herbert Spencer’s liberal influences, and the San Min principle. Spencer’s influences were encapsulated in Yan Fu’s coinage of Spencerian Strategies, featuring tianyan 天演 (Heavenly Evolution), qun 群 (group, nation, or society), and education. In his life-long pursuit of liberty, for individuals and for the nation, Yan Fu proposed San Min 三民 (Three People) in 1896 and San Yu 三育 (Three Education) in 1906. San Min was a cultural strategy for reforming the society by enhancing people’s physical strength, intellectual capacity, and moral integrity. Yan Fu regarded San Min as the way to realise individual liberty, national independence, wealth and power. San Yu was the modern educational goal after the fall of keju, the imperial examination system. San Min focused on intellectual enhancement and San Yu on moral education. The research concludes that Yan Fu was a pioneering figure in Chinese liberal education on whose work the influence of western liberal thinkers, particularly Spencer, has not yet been fully explored.
This thesis uses translations of primary sources including Yan Fu’s original works, written in a particular type of classical Chinese language, and works by Yan Fu’s influencers, such as Herbert Spencer, Thomas Henry Huxley, and John Stuart Mill. Secondary sources include seminal monographs and articles by scholars in relevant fields of studies.
This thesis will contribute to further research on modern Chinese liberal education leading up to the end of the first half of the twentieth century.

description: Mountainous regions are some of the most biologically diverse places on Earth and have exceptionally high rates of endemism. Global biodiversity studies indicate that mountain biodiversity is only partially controlled by global climate drivers and is primarily the result of topographic relief, which amplifies habitat complexity by generating temperature and precipitation gradients. However, climate and relief alone do not fully explain observed patterns of species richness in mountainous regions.

Here, we investigate the plant diversity of the Hengduan Mountains of southwest China, the main biodiversity hotspot outside the tropics, to demonstrate that the generation of this hotspot goes beyond habitat complexity. We mapped species richness patterns for seed plants across the entire Hengduan region and compared them to geomorphic characteristics of the landscape calculated using standard methods of digital topographic (DEM) analysis, including elevation and local relief (5 km radius). As we hypothesized, there is a strong, positive correlation between local relief and species richness generally. We also find large spatial anomalies among different families that may be fingerprints of older geologic processes. We hypothesize that other drivers, such as glacier extent, tectonic faults, and river capture, may explain regions of exceptionally high (resp. low) species richness.

To understand which geological events drove seed plant diversification in the Hengduan Mountains, we developed a generalized linear correlation model to determine the component of species richness explained by climate variables. We removed the component of species richness corresponding to contemporary climate and mapped the residuals to determine where climate underpredicts species richness. We correlated this spatial relationship to known geologic events, based on published thermochronological studies, fault displacement history, and glaciations. In particular, this allows the differentiation between diversification in response to late Quaternary climate change and older, tectono-geomorphic events. We examine patterns across different plant families (from lowland to alpine species) and observe similar adaptive patterns in response to landscape transience.

description: R is an open source statistical software that is used in many scientific disciplines. It can be used free of charge, offers a wide range of functions and packages for various fields of application, and is constantly being further developed by a dynamic community – so it is not surprising that R is also becoming increasingly popular among researchers. In this two-day workshop, participants will get an insight into working with R and RStudio and the possibilities these applications offer. Special emphasis will be placed on basic operations for processing tabular data (such as reading, editing, and saving) as well as on calculating descriptive statistical characteristics. Practical exercises, which will be discussed together, will round off the workshop. This should provide a starting point for participants to further deepen the acquired basic knowledge of R on their own.
Role of isotropic and anisotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction on skyrmions, merons and antiskyrmions in the $C_{nv}$ symmetric system

description: The lattice Hamiltonian with the presence of a chiral magnetic isotropic Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction (DMI) in a square and hexagonal lattice is numerically solved to give the full phase diagram consisting of skyrmions and merons in different parameter planes. The phase diagram provides the actual regions of analytically unresolved asymmetric skyrmions and merons, and it is found that these regions are substantially larger than those of symmetric skyrmions and merons. With magnetic field, a change from meron or spin spiral to skyrmion is seen. The complete phase diagram for the $C_{nv}$ symmetric system with anisotropic DMI is drawn and it is shown that this DMI helps to change the spin spiral propagation direction. Finally, the well-defined region of a thermodynamically stable antiskyrmion phase in the $C_{nv}$ symmetric system is shown.

description: Current self-supervised methods, such as contrastive learning, predominantly focus on global discrimination, neglecting the critical fine-grained anatomical details required for accurate radiographic analysis. To address this challenge, we propose an Anatomy-driven self-supervised framework for enhancing Fine-grained Representation in radiographic image analysis (AFiRe). The core idea of AFiRe is to align the anatomical consistency with the unique token-processing characteristics of Vision Transformer. Specifically, AFiRe synergistically performs two self-supervised schemes: (i) Token-wise anatomy-guided contrastive learning, which aligns image tokens based on structural and categorical consistency, thereby enhancing fine-grained spatial-anatomical discrimination; (ii) Pixel-level anomaly-removal restoration, which particularly focuses on local anomalies, thereby refining the learned discrimination with detailed geometrical information. Additionally, we propose Synthetic Lesion Mask to enhance anatomical diversity while preserving intra-consistency, which is typically corrupted by traditional data augmentations, such as Cropping and Affine transformations. Experimental results show that AFiRe: (i) provides robust anatomical discrimination, achieving more cohesive feature clusters compared to state-of-the-art contrastive learning methods; (ii) demonstrates superior generalization, surpassing 7 radiography-specific self-supervised methods in multi-label classification tasks with limited labeling; and (iii) integrates fine-grained information, enabling precise anomaly detection using only image-level annotations.
CFN-ESA: A Cross-Modal Fusion Network with Emotion-Shift Awareness for Dialogue Emotion Recognition

description: Multimodal emotion recognition in conversation (ERC) has garnered growing attention from research communities in various fields. In this paper, we propose a Cross-modal Fusion Network with Emotion-Shift Awareness (CFN-ESA) for ERC. Extant approaches employ each modality equally without distinguishing the amount of emotional information in these modalities, rendering it hard to adequately extract complementary information from multimodal data. To cope with this problem, in CFN-ESA, we treat textual modality as the primary source of emotional information, while visual and acoustic modalities are taken as the secondary sources. Besides, most multimodal ERC models ignore emotion-shift information and overfocus on contextual information, leading to the failure of emotion recognition under emotion-shift scenario. We elaborate an emotion-shift module to address this challenge. CFN-ESA mainly consists of unimodal encoder (RUME), cross-modal encoder (ACME), and emotion-shift module (LESM). RUME is applied to extract conversation-level contextual emotional cues while pulling together data distributions between modalities; ACME is utilized to perform multimodal interaction centered on textual modality; LESM is used to model emotion shift and capture emotion-shift information, thereby guiding the learning of the main task. Experimental results demonstrate that CFN-ESA can effectively promote performance for ERC and remarkably outperform state-of-the-art models.
