The targum (1950:Dec. 1 - 1950:Dec. 19)
Creators: name: No Name Supplied
Publisher: name: Targum Association
Year: 1950

description: Some University historians indicate that the Targum was first published as an annual in 1867, but of this we have no extant evidence. In January 1869, the Targum as we now know it, made its appearance as a monthly paper that concerned itself with student “literary contributions” and college news as well as serving as a vehicle for bringing news to alumni and the general public. The newspaper, which originally was for sale, varied in frequency over the years as did its title (The Targum, Rutgers Targum, Rutgers Daily Targum, and Daily Targum). The newspaper has continuously been published since 1869 with the exception of 19 months during the second world war, between February 1944 and October 1945. The Targum was published by the students of Rutgers College, and later Rutgers University—New Brunswick represented through the years as the Targum Association, Rutgers Targum Association, and Rutgers College Targum. As a student organization, the Targum operated under the oversight of the dean of students and student government but in October 1980, the Targum became an independent college paper.

description: Η συγκεκριμένη εργασία πραγματεύεται τις αισθητικές θεωρίες, αξίες και αντιλήψεις οι οποίες, ξεπηδώντας μέσα από τη νέα πραγματικότητα του Ελληνιστικού κόσμου, διαμόρφωσαν την ιδιαίτερη «ταυτότητα» της τέχνης της περιόδου αλλά και άφησαν το «στίγμα» τους στις γενικότερες κοινωνικοπολιτικές και πολιτισμικές θεωρήσεις. Παράλληλα, προβάλλει και αναλύει τη φιλοσοφική προσέγγιση της έννοιας του ωραίου - όπως αυτή εκφράστηκε κυρίως μέσα από τις «νεότεγκτες» φιλοσοφικές σχολές των Στωικών και των Επικούρειων - καθώς και τη συμβολή της στην ανάδειξη μιας νέας κοσμοπολιτικής και οικουμενικής αντίληψης του κόσμου, η οποία προλείανε το έδαφος για την εμφάνιση του Χριστιανισμού.
description: The essay deals with the new aesthetic views and values which emerged in the Hellenistic world and influenced not only the art but also the social, political and cultural status of the era. Furthermore, it introduces the varied philosophical approaches on the notion of beauty - mainly the Stoic and the Epicurean - that played a decisive role in establishing a brand new universal view of the world, which eventually led to the emergence of Christianity.

description: Η θερμοδυναμική χορδών διέπεται κυρίως από την εκθετική αύξηση του αριθμού των κβαντικών καταστάσεων μιας χορδής συναρτήσει της ενέργειάς τους. Εκτιμούμε τέτοιους ρυθμούς αύξησης καταμετρώντας τον αριθμό των επιμερισμών μεγάλων ακεραίων. Η συμπεριφορά της εντροπίας υποδηλώνει ότι στις υψηλές ενέργειες η θερμοκρασία προσεγγίζει μια πεπερασμένη σταθερά, την θερμοκρασία Hagedorn. Υπολογίζεται η συνάρτηση επιμερισμού ανοιχτών μποζονικών χορδών. Χρησιμοποιήσαμε την mathematica για τον υπολογισμό μερικών ολοκληρωμάτων που εμφανίστηκαν στον παραπάνω υπολογισμό. Η θεωρία χορδών είναι στο σωστό δρόμο για μια ερμηνεία της εντροπίας μιας μελανής οπής με βάση την στατιστική μηχανική. Εξηγούμε πως η καταμέτρηση των καταστάσεων μιας χορδής μπορεί να χρησιμοποιηθεί στην παραγωγή της εντροπίας της στατιστικής μηχανικής. Οι υπολογισμοί δίνουν αποτελέσματα τα οποία συμπίπτουν ποιοτικά με την εντροπία μιας μελανής οπής Schwarzschild.
description: The thermodynamics of strings is governed largely by the exponential growth of the number of quantum states accessible to a string, as a function of its energy. We estimate such growth rates by counting the number of partitions of large integers. The behavior of the entropy indicates that at high energies the temperature approaches a finite constant, the Hagedorn temperature. The finite temperature single-string partition function for open bosonic strings is calculated. We used mathematica in order to compute some integrals arising from the above calculation. String theory has made good strides towards a statistical mechanics interpretation of black hole entropy. We explain how the counting of string states can be used to give a statistical mechanics derivation of the entropy of black holes. The calculations give results in qualitative agreement with the entropy of Schwarzschild black holes.

Από τη μελέτη των υδάτων προέκυψε ότι είναι όλα ακατάλληλα για χρήση ως πόσιμα σύμφωνα με τη νομοθεσία της Ευρωπαϊκής Ένωσης αλλά κατάλληλα για άρδευση. Αντίστοιχα, από τη μελέτη των ιζημάτων προέκυψε ότι οι αυξημένες συγκεντρώσεις που παρουσιάζουν κυρίως τα μέταλλα Ni, Cr και Mn μπορούν να δικαιολογηθούν από τα πετρώματα της περιοχής. Οι συγκεντρώσεις αυτές ενδεχομένως να επιβαρύνονται ως ένα βαθμό και από ανθρωπογενείς παράγοντες όπως είναι η ύπαρξη ενός πρώην ανεξέλεγκτου χώρου απόθεσης απορριμμάτων.
description: Fourteen water and ten sediment samples from the Triadi Thessaloniki region were collected and studied in order to determine the concentrations of the main and some trace elements and furthermore to examine both, the probable encumbrance of the region by those elements and the most likely source of the metal elements. Laboratorial research included sieve, microscopic, chemical and X-ray analyses of the sediment samples and chemical analyses of the water samples. The study of the water samples indicated that they are unsuitable for drinking purposes according to the legislation of the European Union but suitable for irrigation. Respectively, the study of the sediment samples showed that the increased concentrations of the metals Ni, Cr and Mn can be justified by the ultramafic rocks of the region. The concentrations of these metals are potentially overloaded by anthropogenic factors such as a former uncontrolled area of litter deposition.

description: We present the first detailed study of the bipolar planetary nebula (PN) IPHASX J191104.8$+$060845 (PN G040.6$-$01.5) discovered as part of the Isaac Newton Telescope Photometric H$α$ Survey of the Northern Galactic plane (IPHAS). We present Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) narrow-band images to unveil its true morphology. This PN consists of a main cavity with two newly uncovered extended low-surface brightness lobes located towards the NW and SE directions. Using near-IR WISE images we unveiled the presence of a barrel like structure, which surrounds the main cavity, which would explain the dark lane towards the equatorial regions. We also use Gran Telescopio de Canarias (GTC) spectra to study the physical properties of this PN. We emphasise the potential of old PNe detected in IPHAS to study the final stages of the evolution of the circumstellar medium around solar-like stars.

description: In a series of well-known papers, Chi and Slotta (Chi, 1992; Chi & Slotta, 1993; Chi, Slotta & de Leeuw, 1994; Slotta, Chi & Joram, 1995; Chi, 2005; Slotta & Chi, 2006) have contended that a reason for students' difficulties in learning physics is that they think about concepts as things rather than as processes, and that there is a significant barrier between these two ontological categories. We contest this view, arguing that expert and novice reasoning often and productively traverses ontological categories. We cite examples from everyday, classroom, and professional contexts to illustrate this. We agree with Chi and Slotta that instruction should attend to learners' ontologies; but we find these ontologies are better understood as dynamic and context-dependent, rather than as static constraints. To promote one ontological description in physics instruction, as suggested by Slotta and Chi, could undermine novices' access to productive cognitive resources they bring to their studies and inhibit their transition to the dynamic ontological flexibility required of experts.

description: The earliest atmospheres of rocky planets originate from extensive volatile release during magma ocean epochs that occur during assembly of the planet. These establish the initial distribution of the major volatile elements between different chemical reservoirs that subsequently evolve via geological cycles. Current theoretical techniques are limited in exploring the anticipated range of compositional and thermal scenarios of early planetary evolution, even though these are of prime importance to aid astronomical inferences on the environmental context and geological history of extrasolar planets. Here, we present a coupled numerical framework that links an evolutionary, vertically-resolved model of the planetary silicate mantle with a radiative-convective model of the atmosphere. Using this method we investigate the early evolution of idealized Earth-sized rocky planets with end-member, clear-sky atmospheres dominated by either H$_2$, H$_2$O, CO$_2$, CH$_4$, CO, O$_2$, or N$_2$. We find central metrics of early planetary evolution, such as energy gradient, sequence of mantle solidification, surface pressure, or vertical stratification of the atmosphere, to be intimately controlled by the dominant volatile and outgassing history of the planet. Thermal sequences fall into three general classes with increasing cooling timescale: CO, N$_2$, and O$_2$ with minimal effect, H$_2$O, CO$_2$, and CH$_4$ with intermediate influence, and H$_2$ with several orders of magnitude increase in solidification time and atmosphere vertical stratification. Our numerical experiments exemplify the capabilities of the presented modeling framework and link the interior and atmospheric evolution of rocky exoplanets with multi-wavelength astronomical observations.

description: Hard spheres are ubiquitous in condensed matter: they have been used as models for liquids, crystals, colloidal systems, granular systems, and powders. Packings of hard spheres are of even wider interest, as they are related to important problems in information theory, such as digitalization of signals, error correcting codes, and optimization problems. In three dimensions the densest packing of identical hard spheres has been proven to be the FCC lattice, and it is conjectured that the closest packing is ordered (a regular lattice, e.g, a crystal) in low enough dimension. Still, amorphous packings have attracted a lot of interest, because for polydisperse colloids and granular materials the crystalline state is not obtained in experiments for kinetic reasons. We review here a theory of amorphous packings, and more generally glassy states, of hard spheres that is based on the replica method: this theory gives predictions on the structure and thermodynamics of these states. In dimensions between two and six these predictions can be successfully compared with numerical simulations. We will also discuss the limit of large dimension where an exact solution is possible. Some of the results we present here have been already published, but others are original: in particular we improved the discussion of the large dimension limit and we obtained new results on the correlation function and the contact force distribution in three dimensions. We also try here to clarify the main assumptions that are beyond our theory and in particular the relation between our static computation and the dynamical procedures used to construct amorphous packings.

description: Cosmic voids refer to the large empty regions in the universe with a very low number density of galaxies. Voids are likely to be severely disturbed by the tidal effect from the surrounding dark matter. We derive a completely analytic model for the void ellipticity distribution from physical principles. We use the spatial distribution of galaxies in a void as a measure of its shape, tracking the trajectory of the void galaxies under the influence of the tidal field using the Lagrangian perturbation theory. Our model implies that the void ellipticity distribution depends sensitively on the cosmological parameters. Testing our model against the high-resolution Millennium Run simulation, we find excellent quantitative agreement of the analytic predictions with the numerical results.

description: A survey is given summarizing the state of the art of describing information processing in Quantum Decision Theory, which has been recently advanced as a novel variant of decision making, based on the mathematical theory of separable Hilbert spaces. This mathematical structure captures the effect of superposition of composite prospects, including many incorporated intended actions. The theory characterizes entangled decision making, non-commutativity of subsequent decisions, and intention interference. The self-consistent procedure of decision making, in the frame of the quantum decision theory, takes into account both the available objective information as well as subjective contextual effects. This quantum approach avoids any paradox typical of classical decision theory. Conditional maximization of entropy, equivalent to the minimization of an information functional, makes it possible to connect the quantum and classical decision theories, showing that the latter is the limit of the former under vanishing interference terms.

description: We investigate the multi-domain structures in the tetragonal and orthorhombic phases of BaTiO$_3$ and the impact of the presence of domain walls on the intermediary phase transition. We focus on the change in the transition temperatures resulting from various types of domain walls and their coupling with an external electric field. We employ molecular dynamics simulations of an ab initio effective Hamiltonian in this study. After confirming that this model is applicable to multi-domain configurations, we show that the phase transition temperatures strongly depend on the presence of domains walls. Notably we show that elastic 90$^{\circ}$ walls can strongly reduce thermal hysteresis. Further analysis shows that the change in transition temperatures can be attributed to two main factors - long-range monoclinic distortions induced by walls within domains and domain wall widths. We also show that the coupling with the field further facilitates the reduction of thermal hysteresis for orthorhombic 90$^{\circ}$ walls making this configuration attractive for future applications.

An automatic-adaptivity stabilized finite element method via residual minimization for heterogeneous, anisotropic advection-diffusion-reaction problems

description: In this paper, we describe a stable finite element formulation for advection-diffusion-reaction problems that allows for robust automatic adaptive strategies to be easily implemented. We consider locally vanishing, heterogeneous, and anisotropic diffusivities, as well as advection-dominated diffusion problems. The general stabilized finite element framework was described and analyzed in arXiv:1907.12605v3 for linear problems in general, and tested for pure advection problems. The method seeks for the discrete solution through a residual minimization process on a proper stable discontinuous Galerkin (dG) dual norm. This technique leads to a saddle-point problem that delivers a stable discrete solution and a robust error estimate that can drive mesh adaptivity. In this work, we demonstrate the efficiency of the method in extreme scenarios, delivering stable solutions. The quality and performance of the solutions are comparable to classical discontinuous Galerkin formulations in the respective discrete space norm on each mesh. Meanwhile, this technique allows us to solve on coarse meshes and adapt the solution to achieve a user-specified solution quality.
Analysing voice in the contemporary Canadian short story
Creators: name: Wilkshire, Claire
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: This thesis is about voice in short fiction. In particular, it is about the multiple voices at work in a series of contemporary Canadian short stories. Little attention has been paid to voice in Canadian fiction; the purpose of this study is to show that voice is important by examining the ways in which voices come into play in these texts. This dissertation will illustrate some of the ways in which voices may be listened to; it will provide a demonstration of the kinds of reading that may be done when voice is situated at the core of the interaction between reader and text. Because the subject of this dissertation is narrative voice, the first chapter is devoted to a consideration of what the narrator is: what the term implies, how narrators have been distinguished from authors, implied authors and characters, and where difficulties arise in making such distinctions. Each of the remaining chapters focusses on the short fiction of an individual author. Chapter Two highlights elements of repetition and surprise in Leon Rooke's story "Shut Up." Chapter Three addresses the interplay of voices in Terry Griggs' "Unfinished." The fourth chapter analyzes two short stories by Douglas Glover, "Red" and "Dog Attempts to Drown Man in Saskatoon"; these are both first-person narrations and the analysis reveals how the apparently singular "I" of each story plays host to a variety of competing voices and identities. The principal subject of Chapter Five is polyphony in Mavis Gallant's story "The Pegnitz Junction"; the discussion focusses on the complex interweaving of character-voices, and the role of the omniscient narrator. This dissertation comprises a series of analyses of Canadian short fiction, analyses which illustrate the techniques involved in identifying fictional voices. It argues that short story criticism in Canada has, for the most part, failed to address the issue of voice, and that voice-centred reading strategies make a significant contribution to the critical repertoire of readers of fiction.
Beyond the Standard Lore of the SZ effect

description: Multi-frequency (X-ray, optical and radio) observations of galaxy clusters indicate that the atmospheres of these cosmic structures consist of a complex structure of thermal (hot and warm) and non-thermal (with different origin and spectra) distribution of electrons (and protons) which is, therefore, far from its modelling as a single, thermal electronic gas. This evidence requires to go beyond the simple, standard lore of the SZ effect. This task is challenging for both the theoretical aspects of their modelling and for the experimental goals to be achieved, but it will return a large amount of physical information by using the SZ effect as a unique tool for astro-particle and cosmology.

description: The miRNA biogenesis is tightly regulated to avoid dysfunction and consequent disease development. Here, we describe modulation of miRNA processing as a novel noncanonical function of the 5‐lipoxygenase (5‐LO) enzyme in monocytic cells. In differentiated Mono Mac 6 (MM6) cells, we found an in situ interaction of 5‐LO with Dicer, a key enzyme in miRNA biogenesis. RNA sequencing of small noncoding RNAs revealed a functional impact, knockout of 5‐LO altered the expression profile of several miRNAs. Effects of 5‐LO could be observed at two levels. qPCR analyses thus indicated that (a) 5‐LO promotes the transcription of the evolutionarily conserved miR‐99b/let‐7e/miR‐125a cluster and (b) the 5‐LO‐Dicer interaction downregulates the processing of pre‐let‐7e, resulting in an increase in miR‐125a and miR‐99b levels by 5‐LO without concomitant changes in let‐7e levels in differentiated MM6 cells. Our observations suggest that 5‐LO regulates the miRNA profile by modulating the Dicer‐mediated processing of distinct pre‐miRNAs. 5‐LO inhibits the formation of let‐7e which is a well‐known inducer of cell differentiation, but promotes the generation of miR‐99b and miR‐125a known to induce cell proliferation and the maintenance of leukemic stem cell functions.

description: Superconductivity in the cuprates is characterized by spatial inhomogeneity and an anisotropic electronic gap of d-wave symmetry. The aim of this work is to understand how this anisotropy affects the non-equilibrium electronic response of high-Tc superconductors. We compare the nodal and antinodal non-equilibrium response to photo-excitations with photon energy comparable to the superconducting gap and polarization along the Cu-Cu axis of the sample. The data are supported by an effective d-wave BCS model indicating that the observed enhancement of the superconducting transient signal mostly involves an increase of pair coherence in the antinodal region, which is not induced at the node.

From measurements of the specific heat c and the linear thermal expansion alpha_i we calculate the Grueneisen parameter Gamma_i(T)=alpha_i/c. Close to H_{C0} we find a diverging Gamma_i(T->0, in qualitative agreement with theoretical predictions. However, the predicted individual temperature dependencies of alpha(T) and c(T) are not reproduced by our experimental data.

description: We use laser-based spin- and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (laser-SARPES) with high-resolution, and experimentally determine, for the first time, the Rashba-parameters of quantum well states (QWSs) systematically changing with the film thickness and the quantum numbers, through the observation of the Ag films grown on an Au(111) substrate. The data are very well reproduced by the theoretical calculations based on the density functional theory. Most importantly, we find a scaling law for the Rashba parameter ($α_{\rm R}$) that the magnitude of $α_{\rm R}$ is scaled by the charge density at the interface and the spin-orbit coupling ratio between the film and the substrate, and it is expressed by a single straight line regardless of the film thickness and the quantum numbers. The new finding not only is crucial to understand the Rashba effect in QWSs but also gives a foundation of film growth engineering to fine-tune the spin splitting in 2D heterostructure systems.

description: Fuzzy dark matter (FDM) consisting of ultra-light axions has been invoked to alleviate galactic-scale problems in the cold dark matter scenario. FDM fluctuations, created via the superposition of waves, can impact the motion of a central supermassive black hole (SMBH) immersed in an FDM halo. The SMBH will undergo a random walk, induced by FDM fluctuations, that can result in its ejection from the central region. This effect is strongest in dwarf galaxies, accounting for wandering SMBHs and the low detection rate of AGN in dwarf spheroidal galaxies. In addition, a lower bound on the allowed axion masses is inferred both for Sagittarius $A^*$ and heavier SMBH; to avoid ejection from the galactic centres, axion masses of the order of $10^{-22}{\rm eV}$ or lighter are excluded. Stronger limits are inferred for merging galaxies. We find that the event rate of SMBH mergers in FDM haloes and the associated SMBH growth rates can be reduced by at least an order of magnitude.

description: Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the kindergarten, first-, and second-grade predictors of reading comprehension in bilingual children. Specifically, we evaluated the role that Spanish and English skills play in predicting English reading comprehension in third grade.Method: As part of a longitudinal study, 248 bilingual children were followed from prekindergarten to third grade. Participants completed Spanish and English measures in the spring of each academic year. We reported results on measures of oral language, memory, and literacy skills that were administered in kindergarten, first, second, and third grade.Results: Analysis under the structural equation modeling framework indicated that English oral language and word reading are the strongest predictors of English reading comprehension in third grade. Furthermore, results supported previous evidence indicating that Spanish language skills make significant direct and indirect contributions to the English oral language and word reading skills that predict reading comprehension.Discussion: This study provides a comprehensive view of the language resources that Spanish–English bilinguals use for reading comprehension. In light of previous evidence, we discuss our findings and offer theoretical and practical implications.

Με τη βοήθεια διαφόρων μεθόδων, όπως περιθλασιμετρία ακτίνων Χ, ηλεκτρονική μικροσκοπία σάρωσης και διερχόμενης δέσμης, (SEM και TEM αντίστοιχα) εξετάζονται οι φάσεις του παραπάνω συστήματος.Με βάση τις μετρήσεις που έγιναν προκύπτουν τα εξής συμπεράσματα: ενώ αρχικά το WO3 έχει μονοκλινή φάση, στη συνέχεια και με τη βαθμιαία προσθήκη ψευδαργύρου, μεταβαίνει στη τετραγωνική και κατόπιν στην κυβική μέσω πάντα της αντίστοιχης διφασικής περιοχής.
description: Aim of the present work was to study the properties of bronze. More precisely was examined the influence of zinc when adding it in various concentrations in WO3 mixtures. By the implementation of several methods such as X-Ray diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Transmition Electron Microscopy (TEM) the phases of the above system were investigated.According to the measurements held, the following conclusions met: on the beginning of the phenomenon WO3 has only monoclinic phase. Adding zinc gradually the system transmits to the tetragonal and finally to the cubic phase. This took place through a respective two-phase area

description: The existence of radio pulsars having inferred magnetic fields in the magnetar regime suggests that possible transition objects could be found in the radio pulsar population. The discovery of such an object would contribute greatly to our understanding of neutron star physics. Here we report on unusual X-ray emission detected from the radio pulsar PSR J1119-6127 using XMM-Newton. The pulsar has a characteristic age of 1,700 yrs and inferred surface dipole magnetic field strength of 4.1x10^13 G. In the 0.5-2.0 keV range, the emission shows a single, narrow pulse with an unusually high pulsed fraction of ~70%. No pulsations are detected in the 2.0-10.0 keV range, where we derive an upper limit at the 99% level for the pulsed fraction of 28%. The pulsed emission is well described by a thermal blackbody model with a high temperature of 2.4x10^6 K. While no unambiguous signature of magnetar-like emission has been found in high-magnetic-field radio pulsars, the X-ray characteristics of PSR J1119-6127 require alternate models from those of conventional thermal emission from neutron stars. In addition, PSR J1119-6127 is now the radio pulsar with the smallest characteristic age from which thermal X-ray emission has been detected.

description: Antibody conjugates have taken a great leap forward as tools in basic and applied molecular life sciences that was enabled by the development of chemoselective reactions for the site‐specific modification of proteins. Antibody‐oligonucleotide conjugates combine the antibody's target specificity with the reversible, sequence‐encoded binding properties of oligonucleotides like DNAs or peptide nucleic acids (PNAs), allowing sequential imaging of large numbers of targets in a single specimen. In this report, we use the Tub‐tag® technology in combination with Cu‐catalyzed azide‐alkyne cycloaddition for the site‐specific conjugation of single DNA and PNA strands to an eGFP‐binding nanobody. We show binding of the conjugate to recombinant eGFP and subsequent sequence‐specific annealing of fluorescently labelled imager strands. Furthermore, we reversibly stain eGFP‐tagged proteins in human cells, thus demonstrating the suitability of our conjugation strategy to generate antibody‐oligonucleotides for reversible immunofluorescence imaging.
Change and continuity on the margins : livelihood transformation in Routa Southeast Sulawesi, Indonesia

description: My thesis studies the formation and transformation of livelihoods in the remote Routa sub-district. The findings arise from my experience living with people and engaging in their everyday lives. Through the perspective of households, I show how people diversify their livelihoods, to include forest gathering, swidden farming, staple food cultivation (particularly rice) and cultivating commercial food crops. I discuss the pathways of informal decisions that households use to negotiate inevitable change. The abundance of forest products attracts people from surrounding areas to migrate into Routa. The migrants, traders and local people all have their roles to play as agents of change on the frontier. Environmental change indicated by the dwindling availability of forest products, and the inevitable fluctuation of commodity market have driven the transformation of livelihoods in Routa. Migrants and traders disseminate information about livelihoods. Traders often become patrons who supply the provisions that enable households to adapt to the gradual transformation of their livelihoods. Low population density has led to the problem of seasonal labour shortages that to date have prevented people from obtaining sufficient income from any one particular livelihood. As a result, people have to utilise the labour of all household members and invited migrants to overcome labour shortages. To meet everyday needs and insufficient income, people diversify. A few still maintain their livelihoods as forest gatherers and swidden farmers. Change is also felt in the coming of the palm oil plantation in Lalomerui village. The palm oil company introduces a new working culture that few people can negotiate. A large multi-national mining company is also offering opportunities for local people. They established local criteria for employment, formed consultative groups and established a micro-finance institution in each village. But the success of pepper makes the presence of both big investments less meaningful in the lives and livelihoods of the local people.

description: As superconducting quantum circuits scale to larger sizes, the problem of frequency crowding proves a formidable task. Here we present a solution for this problem in fixed-frequency qubit architectures. By systematically adjusting qubit frequencies post-fabrication, we show a nearly ten-fold improvement in the precision of setting qubit frequencies. To assess scalability, we identify the types of 'frequency collisions' that will impair a transmon qubit and cross-resonance gate architecture. Using statistical modeling, we compute the probability of evading all such conditions, as a function of qubit frequency precision. We find that without post-fabrication tuning, the probability of finding a workable lattice quickly approaches 0. However with the demonstrated precisions it is possible to find collision-free lattices with favorable yield. These techniques and models are currently employed in available quantum systems and will be indispensable as systems continue to scale to larger sizes.

description: We use a new technique to directly extract an estimate of the quasiparticle self-energy from the optical conductivity which can be easily related to both theory and angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (ARPES) experiments. In the high Tc cuprate Bi-2212 we find evidence for a new high energy scale at 900 meV in addition to the two previously well known ones at roughly 50 and 400 meV. The intermediate scale at 400 meV has been recently seen in ARPES as a large kink which optics finds to be weaker and shifted. In YBCO, the three energy scales are shifted to lower energy relative to Bi-2212 and we observe the emergence of a possible fourth high energy feature at 600 meV.
