description: Resource consumption of the conventional surface code is expensive, in part due to the need to separate the defects that create the logical qubit far apart on the physical qubit lattice. We propose that instantiating the deformation-based surface code using superstabilizers makes it possible to detect short error chains connecting the superstabilizers, allowing us to place logical qubits close together. Additionally, we demonstrate the process of conversion from the defect-based surface code, which works as arbitrary state injection, and a lattice surgery-like CNOT gate implementation that requires fewer physical qubits than the braiding CNOT gate. Finally we propose a placement design for the deformation-based surface code and analyze its resource consumption; large scale quantum computation requires $\frac{25}{4}d^2 +5d + 1$ physical qubits per logical qubit where $d$ is the code distance, whereas the planar code requires $16d^2 -16d + 4$ physical qubits per logical qubit, for a reduction of about 55%.

description: Photoreceptors are signaling proteins that perceive light signals and convert them into biological signals that regulate a wide range of physiological processes. Several photoreceptor proteins have been applied to synthetic biology and cell imaging for biomedical research and optogenetics applications. My dissertation work has been focused on structural studies on two distinct novel photoreceptors from cyanobacteria: orange carotenoid protein (OCP) and a bilin-based far-red light photoreceptor. First, orange carotenoid protein is a blue light photoreceptor involved in the protection of the photosynthetic reaction apparatuses in cyanobacteria under high light conditions. We were able to directly observe the light-induced structural changes of OCP at atomic resolution using dynamic crystallography, which suggests a new type of photochemistry exploited by biological systems. Second, the far-red absorbing cyanobacteriochromes (FR-CBCRs) belong to a recently discovered family of bilin-based photoreceptors. Since these modular and compact FR-CBCRs display the action spectra in the far-red light region that overlaps with the therapeutic optical window, they are highly desirable for optogenetics and deep tissue imaging. We have determined the first crystal structure for the FR-CBCR family, which reveals highly unusual structural features in the chromophore and protein moiety. These structural findings, together with site-directed mutagenesis, provide mechanistic insights into the far-red spectral tuning and photoconversion in bilin-based photoreceptors.

Individual ThoughtChart Shows Task Differences in EEG of Meditators and Healthy Individuals

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago
Year: 2020
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: Experienced meditators can be a promising group of healthy subjects for brain connectivity analysis due to their demonstrable differences in resting state dynamics, and altered brain connectivity has been implicated as a potential factor in several psychiatric disorders. Three distinct techniques of meditation are explored: Isha Yoga, Himalayan Yoga, and Vipassana, as well as a meditation-naïve group of individuals. All individuals participated in a breath awareness task, a autobiographical thinking task, a counting task, and their own form of meditation if they had one, while being recording by a 64-electrode electroencephalogram (EEG). The brain connectivity was estimated using weighted phase lag index (WPLI) and the connectivity dynamics were investigated using a novel individual form of ThoughtChart, a previously reported dimensionality reduction method which utilizes manifold learning. The breath awareness task in all groups was found to have consistently different functional connectivity patterns than the autobiographical thinking tasks in each individual. The meditation task was found to be most similar to the breath awareness task in all groups, as expected in meditation traditions which incorporate breath awareness in their practice. Finally, the speed of connectivity changes, conceived of here as the speed of thought, in Vipassana practitioners correlated with their Toronto Mindfulness Scale score. These results demonstrate that the individual form of ThoughtChart consistently and reliably separates similar tasks among healthy meditators and non-meditators during resting state-like EEG recordings.
Localization, quantum resonances and ratchet acceleration in a periodically-kicked $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric quantum rotator

description: We consider wave transport phenomena in a $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric extension of the periodically-kicked quantum rotator model and reveal that dynamical localization assists the unbroken $\mathcal{PT}$ phase. In the delocalized (quantum resonance) regime, $\mathcal{PT}$ symmetry is always in the broken phase and ratchet acceleration arises as a signature of unidirectional non-Hermitian transport. An optical implementation of the periodically-kicked $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric Hamiltonian, based on transverse beam propagation in a passive optical resonator with combined phase and loss gratings, is suggested to visualize acceleration modes in fractional Talbot cavities.

Publisher: name: HEPData

description: Final BDT weights for BDT_high for 'even' events; ROOT 6.04/16; TMVA 4.2.1
description: CERN-LHC. The results of a search for the direct pair production of stops, the supersymmetric partner of the top-quark, in final states with one isolated electron or muon, several energetic jets, and missing transverse momentum are reported. The search uses data from pp collisions delivered by the Large Hadron Collider in 2015 and 2016 at a center-of-mass energy of 13 TeV and recorded by the ATLAS detector, corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 36.1/fb. A wide range of signal scenarios with different mass splittings between the stop, the lightest neutralino and possible intermediate gauginos or higgsinos is considered, including cases where the W-bosons or the top-quarks are off-shell. The analysis also targets the production of dark matter in association with a pair of top-quarks using the same final state. No significant excess over the Standard Model prediction is observed. The null results are used to set exclusion limits at 95% confidence level in several benchmark models, which reach up to a stop mass of 940 GeV. Stringent exclusion limits are also derived for all other considered stop decay scenarios, and upper limits are set on the visible cross-section for processes beyond the Standard Model.

description: Identifying important nodes in complex networks is a fundamental problem in network analysis. Although a plethora of measures has been proposed to identify important nodes in static (i.e., time-invariant) networks, there is a lack of tools in the context of temporal networks (i.e., networks whose connectivity dynamically changes over time). The aim of this paper is to propose a system-theoretic approach for identifying important nodes in temporal networks. In this direction, we first propose a generalization of the popular Katz centrality measure to the family of Markovian temporal networks using tools from the theory of Markov jump linear systems. We then show that Katz centrality in Markovian temporal networks can be efficiently computed using linear programming. Finally, we propose a convex program for optimizing the Katz centrality of a given node by tuning the weights of the temporal network in a cost-efficient manner. Numerical simulations illustrate the effectiveness of the obtained results.

Impact of residual contamination on inclusive and direct photon flow

description: Direct photon flow is measured by subtracting the contribution of decay photon flow from the measured inclusive photon flow via the double ratio $R_{\rm γ}$, which defines the excess of direct over decay photons. The inclusive photon sample is affected by a modest contamination from different background sources, which is often ignored in measurements. However, due to the sensitivity of the direct photon measurement even a residual contamination may significantly bias the extracted direct photon flow. In particular, for measurements using photon conversions, which are very powerful at low transverse momentum, these effects can be substantial. Assuming three different types of correlated background contributions we demonstrate using the Therminator2 event generator that the impact of the contamination on the magnitude of direct photon flow can be on the level of $50\%$, even if the purity of the inclusive photon sample is about $97\%$. Future measurements should attempt to account for the contamination by measuring the background contributions and subtracting them from the inclusive photon flow.

Role of Technical Assistance and Relationships in Development of Initiatives to Address Precarious Work

description: Despite the recognized implications of precarious work on worker health, few interventions aimed at addressing the drivers of these adverse health outcomes are described in the literature. Research suggests that in order to be successful, interventions aimed at protecting and promoting worker health should consider and seek to address the determinants of population health at multiple socioecological levels. However, in many cases, organizations that are well-poised to design and implement multi-level interventions to address complex problems, like precarious work, lack the necessary knowledge and skills to translate their goals into practice. Knowledge exchange is especially necessary to catalyze the development of policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) change to address the drivers of complex problems at the societal level. Universities may be well-poised to support knowledge, skill, and capacity building efforts to foster the development of multi-level interventions to address complex problems. Researchers at the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC) engaged primarily health-focused organizations interested in developing policy- and systems-level initiatives to address the drivers of precarious work in a six-meeting Action Learning (AL) process. The UIC researchers served as technical assistance (TA) providers in this process, focused on facilitating learning and promoting critical thinking among participants. Representatives from labor expert organizations also served as TA providers, focused on sharing content knowledge with participants. This exploratory qualitative study examined the role, facilitators, challenges, and impacts of university facilitation and TA, provided by university researchers and labor experts, in this context. Results from the study highlight the utility of a university connecting organizations from disciplines that are not already working together to promote the development of PSE change to address precarious work and suggest that TA provided by both university researchers and labor experts facilitated movement from knowledge sharing to collaborative action development.

description: In this paper, we investigate the scalar quasinormal modes of Hořava-Lifshitz theory with $U(1)$ symmetry in static Anti-de Sitter spacetime. The static planar and spherical black hole solutions in lower energy limit are derived in non-projectable Hořava-Lifshitz gravity. The equation of motion of a scalar field is obtained, and is utilized to study the quasinormal modes of massless scalar particles. We find that the effect of Hořava-Lifshitz correction is to increase the quasinormal period as well as to slow down the decay of the oscillation magnitude. Besides, the scalar field could be unstable when the correction becomes too large.

description: Open clusters have been the focus of several exoplanet surveys but only a few planets have so far been discovered. The \emph{Kepler} spacecraft revealed an abundance of small planets around small, cool stars, therefore, such cluster members are prime targets for exoplanet transit searches. Kepler's new mission, K2, is targeting several open clusters and star-forming regions around the ecliptic to search for transiting planets around their low-mass constituents. Here, we report the discovery of the first transiting planet in the intermediate-age (800 Myr) Beehive cluster (Praesepe). K2-95 is a faint ($\mathrm{Kp = 15.5\,mag}$) $\mathrm{M3.0\pm0.5}$ dwarf from K2's Campaign 5 with an effective temperature of $\mathrm{3471 \pm 124\,K}$, approximately solar metallicity and a radius of $\mathrm{0.402 \pm 0.050 \,R_\odot}$. We detected a transiting planet with a radius of $\mathrm{3.47^{+0.78}_{-0.53} \, R_\oplus}$ and an orbital period of 10.134 days. We combined photometry, medium/high-resolution spectroscopy, adaptive optics/speckle imaging and archival survey images to rule out any false positive detection scenarios, validate the planet, and further characterize the system. The planet's radius is very unusual as M-dwarf field stars rarely have Neptune-sized transiting planets. The comparatively large radius of K2-95b is consistent with the other recently discovered cluster planets K2-25b (Hyades) and K2-33b (Upper Scorpius), indicating systematic differences in their evolutionary states or formation. These discoveries from K2 provide a snapshot of planet formation and evolution in cluster environments and thus make excellent laboratories to test differences between field-star and cluster planet populations.

description: The in-plane resistivity and uniform magnetic susceptibility anisotropies of $BaFe_{2}As_{2}$ are obtained with a new method, in which a large symmetry-breaking uniaxial strain is applied using a substrate with a very anisotropic thermal expansion. The resistivity anisotropy and its corresponding elastoresistivity exhibit very similar diverging behavior as those obtained from piezo-stack experiments. This suggests that the resistivity anisotropy is more a direct measure of magnetism than of nematicity, since the nematic transition is no longer well-defined under a large strain. In strong contrast to the large resistivity anisotropy above $T_{N}$, the anisotropy of the in-plane magnetic susceptibility develops largely below $T_{N}$. Using an itinerant model, we show that the observed anisotropy ($χ_{b}>χ_{a}$) is determined by spin-orbit coupling and the orientation of the magnetic moments in the antiferromagnetic phase, and that the anisotropy is dominated by intra-orbital ($yz,yz$) contributions of the Umklapp susceptibility.

description: We study metastability for Glauber spin-flip dynamics on the $N$-dimensional hierarchical lattice with $n$ hierarchical levels. Each vertex carries an Ising spin that can take the values $-1$ or $+1$. Spins interact with an external magnetic field $h>0$. Pairs of spins interact with each other according to a ferromagnetic pair potential $\vec{J}=\{J_i\}_{i=1}^n$, where $J_i>0$ is the strength of the interaction between spins at hierarchical distance $i$. Spins flip according to a Metropolis dynamics at inverse temperature $β$. In the limit as $β\to\infty$, we analyse the crossover time from the metastable state $\boxminus$ (all spins $-1$) to the stable state $\boxplus$ (all spins $+1$). Under the assumption that $\vec{J}$ is non-increasing, we identify the mean transition time up to a multiplicative factor $1+o_β(1)$. On the scale of its mean, the transition time is exponentially distributed. We also identify the set of configurations representing the gate for the transition. For the special case where $J_i = \tilde{J}/N^i$, $1 \leq i \leq n$, with $\tilde{J}>0$ the relevant formulas simplify considerably. Also the hierarchical mean-field limit $N\to\infty$ can be analysed in detail.

description: We derive analyticity constraints on a nonlinear ghost-free effective theory of a massive spin-2 particle known as pseudo-linear massive gravity, and on a generalized theory of a massive spin-1 particle, both of which provide simple IR completions of Galileon theories. For pseudo-linear massive gravity we find that, unlike dRGT massive gravity, there is no window of parameter space which satisfies the analyticity constraints. For massive vectors which reduce to Galileons in the decoupling limit, we find that no two-derivative actions are compatible with positivity, but that higher derivative actions can be made compatible.

description: Users of web search engines are known to mostly focus on the top ranked results of the search engine result page. While many studies support this well known information seeking pattern only few studies concentrate on the question what users are missing by neglecting lower ranked results. To learn more about the relevance distributions in the so-called long tail we conducted a relevance assessment study with the Million Short long-tail web search engine. While we see a clear difference in the content between the head and the tail of the search engine result list we see no statistical significant differences in the binary relevance judgments and weak significant differences when using graded relevance. The tail contains different but still valuable results. We argue that the long tail can be a rich source for the diversification of web search engine result lists but it needs more evaluation to clearly describe the differences.

description: pseudocode illustrating the event and object selections for all the signal regions
description: CERN-LHC. This paper presents a search for direct electroweak gaugino or gluino pair production with a chargino nearly mass-degenerate with a stable neutralino. It is based on an integrated luminosity of 36.1 fb$^{-1}$ of $pp$ collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV collected by the ATLAS experiment at the LHC. The final state of interest is a disappearing track accompanied by at least one jet with high transverse momentum from initial-state radiation or by four jets from the gluino decay chain. The use of short track segments reconstructed from the innermost tracking layers significantly improves the sensitivity to short chargino lifetimes. The results are found to be consistent with Standard Model predictions. Exclusion limits are set at 95% confidence level on the mass of charginos and gluinos for different chargino lifetimes. For a pure wino with a lifetime of about 0.2 ns, chargino masses up to 460 GeV are excluded. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns. For the strong production channel, gluino masses up to 1.65 TeV are excluded assuming a chargino mass of 460 GeV and lifetime of 0.2 ns.

description: The desire to improve the energy density of lithium ion batteries requires the discovery of different battery chemistries. One such class of batteries could use magnesium, calcium, or zinc metal counter electrodes paired with a transition metal oxide working electrode to achieve higher energy densities than lithium ion ones. However, divalent cations of these metals have sluggish kinetics of mobility in solids. Manganese oxides with the spinel and post-spinel crystal structures are predicted to have low energy barriers of divalent cation mobility. Additionally, theorists predict that shortened pathways will improve ion transport in crystalline solids. So, in addition to structural effects, nanoscale electrode materials are predicted to overcome these barriers as well. This work describes the synthesis of nanoscale spinel and microscale post-spinel manganese oxides, using colloidal and high-pressure methods, respectively. These materials will have their electrochemical performance assessed in nonaqueous electrolyte in order to determine their potential for use in magnesium batteries. Lastly, the electrochemical properties of micrometric spinel manganese oxide under reductive conditions in aqueous calcium and zinc electrolytes were studied and reported.

description: In this work the low density regions of nuclear and neutron star matter are studied. The search for the existence of pasta phases in this region is performed within the context of the quark-meson coupling (QMC) model, which incorporates quark degrees of freedom. Fixed proton fractions are considered, as well as nuclear matter in beta equilibrium at zero temperature. We discuss the recent attempts to better understand the surface energy in the coexistence phases regime and we present results that show the existence of the pasta phases subject to some choices of the surface energy coefficient. We also analyze the influence of the nuclear pasta on some neutron star properties. The equation of state containing the pasta phase will be part of a complete grid for future use in supernova simulations.

description: When an electronic system is subjected to a sufficiently strong magnetic field that the cyclotron energy is much larger than the Fermi energy, the system enters the "extreme quantum limit" (EQL) and becomes susceptible to a number of instabilities. Bringing a three-dimensional electronic system deeply into the EQL can be difficult, however, since it requires a small Fermi energy, large magnetic field, and low disorder. Here we present an experimental study of the EQL in lightly-doped single crystals of strontium titanate, which remain good bulk conductors down to very low temperatures and high magnetic fields. Our experiments probe deeply into the regime where theory has long predicted electron-electron interactions to drive the system into a charge density wave or Wigner crystal state. A number of interesting features arise in the transport in this regime, including a striking re-entrant nonlinearity in the current-voltage characteristics and a saturation of the quantum-limiting field at low carrier density. We discuss these features in the context of possible correlated electron states, and present an alternative picture based on magnetic-field induced puddling of electrons.

Testing statistics of the CMB B-mode polarization toward unambiguously establishing quantum fluctuation of vacuum

description: The B-mode polarization in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies at large angular scales provides a smoking-gun evidence for the primordial gravitational waves (GWs). It is often stated that a discovery of the GWs establishes the quantum fluctuation of vacuum during the cosmic inflation. Since the GWs could also be generated by source fields, however, we need to check if a sizable signal exists due to such source fields before reaching a firm conclusion when the B-mode is discovered. Source fields of particular types can generate non-Gaussianity (NG) in the GWs. Testing statistics of the B-mode is a powerful way of detecting such NG. As a concrete example, we show a model in which a gauge field sources chiral GWs via a pseudoscalar coupling, and forecast the detection significance at the future CMB satellite LiteBIRD. Effects of residual foregrounds and lensing B-mode are both taken into account. We find the B-mode bispectrum "BBB" is in particular sensitive to the source-field NG, which is detectable at LiteBIRD with a $> 3 σ$ significance. Therefore the search for the "BBB" will be indispensable toward unambiguously establishing quantum fluctuation of vacuum when the B-mode is discovered. We also introduced the Minkowski functional to detect the NGs. While we find that the Minkowski functional is less efficient than the harmonic-space bispectrum estimator, it still serves as a useful cross check. Finally, we also discuss the possibility of extracting clean information on parity violation of GWs, and new types of parity-violating observables induced by lensing.

Rainfall and Turbidity as Simple Alternative Predictors of Beach Water Quality in Chicago

Publisher: name: University of Illinois at Chicago

description: Monitoring beach water quality is an essential component in protecting recreator health and preventing gastrointestinal illness at beaches. Historically, laboratory methods used for monitoring bacteria required at least 18-24 hours before the public could be notified of water quality conditions. This gap period of 18-24 hours led to inaccuracies of current water quality conditions at beaches, as these methods assessed conditions of the day prior. These methods are still used by monitoring programs across the United States and, until recently, Chicago. Starting in 2015, the Chicago Park District switched to new DNA-based methods that produce reportable results within approximately four hours. Despite this, DNA-testing is prohibitively expensive and a gap period of four hours still remains between sample collection and notification. This study of Chicago beach water quality was conducted using turbidity and rainfall as simple alternatives for predicting beach action value exceedance. This study used 4,624 sampling days the from 2015-2018 Chicago beach seasons to develop beach-specific decision trees using turbidity and precipitation nodes to produce near real time probabilities of beach action value exceedances. The goal of this study was to develop decision trees that predict beach status more accurately than using an always-open approach where 90% of sampling days are correctly non-exceeding. The final low-turbidity decision tree design has approximately half the error rate (5.04% and 9.31%) compared to the always-open approach (9.68% and 14.72%) at predicting no exceedances during dry and wet conditions, respectfully. During high-turbidity conditions, a conservative tree for predicting an exceedance (≥33% accuracy) application could be applied to 7 out of 19 beaches during wet conditions only.
