title: The Influence of Physiological State on Feeding Behaviour of Bactrocera tryoni(Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae)
Creators: name: Howie, Lynita Joy
Publisher: name: Griffith University

Subjects: subject: Bactrocera tryoni
subject: Fruit flies

description: This thesis examined the feeding behaviour of B. tryoni relative to the physiological state (sex, maturity, mated state and nutritional condition) of the fly. I particularly focused on the attraction of B. tryoni to proteinaceous food types with the intention of explaining fly response as a function of physiological state. All B. tryoni, irrespective of age, sex or mated state, preferentially feed in the first few hours after sunrise, both in the laboratory and field cage environment. Sugar feeding was greatest by mature mated females, followed closely by immature flies (both sexes). Protein feeding was greatest in immature flies, while mature unmated females spent very little time in protein feeding. Thus, proteinaceous baits used for B. tryoni control would be least effective over mature unmated females. Fly hunger is also relevant in determining how a fly will respond to food types. Some results with A. ludens suggested that sugar hungry flies had a reduced attraction to proteinaceous odours, a relevant consequence that significantly reduces the success of proteinaceous baits. Indeed, gravid female B. tryoni had a much decreased attraction to bacteria when sugar hungry, but the effect was not significant for immature flies (both sexes). Therefore, I tested B. tryoni attraction to sugar food (open fruit) and protein food (bacteria) combined, but the combined odours did not appear to be significantly more attractive than one food source alone. Gravid females were primarily attracted to fruit odour as an oviposition resource, independent of their nutritional condition. Further, gravid females were only significantly attracted bacterial odour when protein hungry and were repelled when fed. These results then lead me to a further examination of fly attraction to bacterial odours. Common phyllosphere bacteria are a known protein source for B. tryoni. Anecdotal evidence suggests that fly attraction to bacteria increases as the bacterial culture ages. However this was only found true for immature flies. Gravid females that were protein hungry initially had a strong response to bacterial odours in the exponential growth phase, but had a much reduced response to stronger bacterial odours in the stationary / death phase. This supports the theory that bacterial odours represent an ovipositional deterrent to B. tryoni. A common volatile released by phyllosphere bacteria, 2-butanone, is also thought to be the attractive volatile in cue lure (a male B. tryoni sex attractant). However, mature males had a relatively low response to bacteria, suggesting that bacterial odours do not act as a sex attractant in the same way as cue lure. My findings help explain why protein baits may or may not be effective in controlling B. tryoni and will improve the decision making process when considering how best to control B. tryoni.

description: We derive a general expression for the conductivity of a disordered conductor with electron-electron interactions (treated within the standard model) and evaluate the weak localization correction delta sigma_{wl} employing no approximations beyond the accuracy of the definition of delta sigma_{wl}. Our analysis applies to all orders in the interaction and extends our previous calculation by explicitly taking into account quantum fluctuations around the classical paths for interacting electrons (pre-exponent). We specifically address the most interesting low temperature limit and demonstrate that such fluctuations can only be important in the perturbative regime of short times while they are practically irrelevant for the Cooperon dynamics at longer times. We fully confirm our conclusion about the existence of interaction-induced decoherence of electrons at zero temperature for the problem in question. We also demonstrate irrelevance of a perturbative calculation by Aleiner et al. (AAV) [J. Low Temp. Phys. 126, 1377 (2002) and cond-mat/0110545] and discard AAV's critique of our earlier analysis.

description: We consider the helical edge state of a Quantum Spin Hall insulator, connected between two leads, and irradiated by a monochromatic and circularly polarized electromagnetic wave. The photocurrent generated within the helical edge state is studied as function of the characteristics of the electromagnetic radiation and electronic doping of the edge state. We focus on the effect of the leads on the photocurrent. We also investigate the photoconductance of the helical edge state in presence of a voltage bias between the leads.

description: Obesity, air pollution, and exercise induce alterations in the heat shock response (HSR), in both intracellular 70 kDa heat shock proteins (iHSP70) and the plasmatic extracellular form (eHSP72). Extra-to-intracellular HSP70 ratio (H-index = eHSP70/ iHSP70 ratio) represents a candidate biomarker of subclinical health status. This study investigated the effects of moderate- and high-intensity exercise in the HSR and oxidative stress parameters, in obese mice exposed to fine particulate matter (PM 2.5 ). Thirty-day-old male isogenic B6 129 F 2 /J mice were maintained for 16 weeks on standard chow or high-fat diet (HFD). Then, mice were exposed to either saline or 50 μg of PM 2.5 by intranasal instillation and subsequently maintained at rest or subjected to moderate- or high-intensity swimming exercise. HFD mice exhibited high adiposity and glucose intolerance at week 16th. HFD mice submitted to moderate- or high-intensity exercise were not able to complete the exercise session and showed lower levels of eHSP70 and H-index, when compared to controls. PM 2.5 exposure modified the glycaemic response to exercise and modified hematological responses in HFD mice. Our study suggests that obesity is a critical health condition for exercise prescription under PM 2.5 exposure.

description: Background: Hospital Emergency Departments (EDs) experience high presentation rates from older adults residing in Aged Care Facilities (ACFs), yet very few intervention studies have addressed the care needs of this population group. We designed and implemented a nurse-led model of care for older adults from ACFs, and determined its impact on patient outcomes. Methods: This 12-month pre–post intervention study was conducted during 2013–2014, with follow-up during 2015–2016. Participants included all older adults presenting from ACFs to the ED of Mater Hospital Brisbane (MHB), Australia. Frailty status was determined using the Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS). Results: All participants were frail (n = 1130), with 19% severely frail, 55% very-severely frail, and 26% terminally ill. The intervention resulted in several improvements in patient outcomes, including significant reductions in ward admissions and 28-day representation rates. Conclusion: Significant improvements can be achieved by integration of an acute frail older person service into an ED.

description: In this paper, a new method, named the Fragile Points Method (FPM), is developed for computer modeling in engineering and sciences. In the FPM, simple, local, polynomial, discontinuous and Point-based trial and test functions are proposed based on randomly scattered points in the problem domain. The local discontinuous polynomial trial and test functions are postulated by using the Generalized Finite Difference method. These functions are only piece-wise continuous over the global domain. By implementing the Point-based trial and test functions into the Galerkin weak form, we define the concept of Point Stiffnesses as the contribution of each Point in the problem domain to the global stiffness matrix. However, due to the discontinuity of trial and test functions in the domain, directly using the Galerkin weak form leads to inconsistency. To resolve this, Numerical Flux Corrections, which are frequently used in Discontinuous Galerkin methods are further employed in the FPM. The resulting global stiffness matrix is symmetric and sparse, which is advantageous for large-scale engineering computations. Several numerical examples of 1D and 2D Poisson equations are given in this paper to demonstrate the high accuracy, robustness and convergence of the FPM. Because of the locality and discontinuity of the Point-based trial and test functions, this method can be easily extended to model extreme problems in mechanics, such as fragility, rupture, fracture, damage, and fragmentation. These extreme problems will be discussed in our future studies.

description: We investigate the effect of the environment on a Berry phase measurement involving a spin-half. We model the spin+environment using a biased spin-boson Hamiltonian with a time-dependent magnetic field. We find that, contrary to naive expectations, the Berry phase acquired by the spin can be observed, but only on timescales which are neither too short nor very long. However this Berry phase is not the same as for the isolated spin-half. It does not have a simple geometric interpretation in terms of the adiabatic evolution of either bare spin-states or the dressed spin-resonances that remain once we have traced out the environment. This result is crucial for proposed Berry phase measurements in superconducting nanocircuits as dissipation there is known to be significant.

description: With an ageing population there is a growing need for technology that enables older adults to live independently for longer. The EU Horizon2020 funded MATUROLIFE project is focused on developing solutions that embed smart textiles to support well-being and independence in older adults. The study described here aimed to explore and initiate development of ‘smart’ footwear embedding assistive technology. A qualitative research strategy was employed including interviews with 37 older adults and co-creation activities with 56 older adults. Participants were recruited from eight European countries (Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain, Turkey, and United Kingdom). The results detail the specific needs that older adults have in relation to footwear based on the daily activities they take part in. Participants shared their footwear fashion preferences, as well as their priorities for assistive functionality. A set-of co-created priorities and concept ideas are presented that consider how footwear might enable independent ageing.

 Description
The ovoid body is 7.5 ¥ 6.5 mm across, its naked dorsal side variably lumpy. The sessile siphons are 4 mm apart; they show four flat lobes. Around the equator of the body is a belt of nonramified rhizoids, 3–4 mm long, without adhering sediment. Just anterior to this belt, the tunic is covered with a thin layer of mud. On the ventral side of the specimen the rhizoids are shorter and fewer. The tunic itself is thin and transparent.
The body wall musculature is made of strong bundles, about 30 ribbons at each siphon. Those located near the cloacal aperture are the most developed. The radiating lateral muscles, coming from both siphons, are thinner and anastomosed. Between the siphons the muscular fibres are not gathered in bundles but rather make a network. There are no transverse fibres on the ventral side of the body.
The oral tentacles are planted at the base of a short velum, very anteriorly in the siphon. Twenty of them in four orders are obviously curved. The prepharyngeal band has two very close equal crests, and forms a dorsal V. The button-shaped dorsal tubercle opens by a straight but oblique slit. The neural ganglion is elongated. The dorsal lamina is long with a plain edge, and progressively increases in height to the oesophagus entrance. The branchial tissue is thin, with three folds on each side, but only the two first ones from the dorsal lamina are well formed. The formula is:

description: The modeling of atmospheric processes in the context of weather and climate simulations is an important and computationally expensive challenge. The temporal integration of the underlying PDEs requires a very large number of time steps, even when the terms accounting for the propagation of fast atmospheric waves are treated implicitly. Therefore, the use of parallel-in-time integration schemes to reduce the time-to-solution is of increasing interest, particularly in the numerical weather forecasting field. We present a multi-level parallel-in-time integration method combining the Parallel Full Approximation Scheme in Space and Time (PFASST) with a spatial discretization based on Spherical Harmonics (SH). The iterative algorithm computes multiple time steps concurrently by interweaving parallel high-order fine corrections and serial corrections performed on a coarsened problem. To do that, we design a methodology relying on the spectral basis of the SH to coarsen and interpolate the problem in space. The methods are evaluated on the shallow-water equations on the sphere using a set of tests commonly used in the atmospheric flow community. We assess the convergence of PFASST-SH upon refinement in time. We also investigate the impact of the coarsening strategy on the accuracy of the scheme, and specifically on its ability to capture the high-frequency modes accumulating in the solution. Finally, we study the computational cost of PFASST-SH to demonstrate that our scheme resolves the main features of the solution multiple times faster than the serial schemes.

description: Networks are natural but powerful structures that capture relationships between different entities in many domains, such as social networks, citation networks, bioinformatic networks. In many applications that require multiple networks analysis, network alignment, the task of recognizing node correspondence across different networks, plays an important role. A wellknown application of network alignment is to identify which accounts in different social networks belong to the same person. Given the appeal of network alignment, there is a rich body of researches that aims to tackle this problem. However, many research challenges still exist, such as enhancing the accuracy and improving the scalability due to the information explosion. With such motivation, in scope of our PhD work, we address the three crucial challenges in network alignment literature, namely (i) enhancing scalability of network alignment on large-scale graphs, (ii) enhancing the robustness of network alignment to adversarial conditions and (iii) multi-modal information integration for network aligners. To do so, we focus on proposing aligner frameworks for different types of input attributed networks from simple to complex. Each framework attempts to answer simultaneously all three research questions by leveraging embedding techniques, where the input networks are embedded into insightful, low-dimensional vector spaces. This helps to enrich the nodes’ individual context with multi-modal information, thus facilitates the distinction between nodes. The learnt embeddings also enables faster alignment retrieval by direct vector comparison. Our proposed techniques improve upon the state-of-the-art for different types of attributed networks and cover a large range of applications.

description: In this paper, we consider the problem of unsupervised video object segmentation via background subtraction. Specifically, we pose the nonsemantic extraction of a video's moving objects as a nonconvex optimization problem via a sum of sparse and low-rank matrices. The resulting formulation, a nonnegative variant of robust principal component analysis, is more computationally tractable than its commonly employed convex relaxation, although not generally solvable to global optimality. In spite of this limitation, we derive intuitive and interpretable conditions on the video data under which the uniqueness and global optimality of the object segmentation are guaranteed using local search methods. We illustrate these novel optimality criteria through example segmentations using real video data.

Middlebrow Spanish Cinema: The case of Mientras Dure La Guerra (2019) by Alejandro Amenábar
Creators: name: García Llaneza, Gabriel
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2024

description: It is by looking at cinema that we might be able to comprehend and understand the different political and economic contexts by the coded representation of these contexts on the big screen.

For this paper we are going to explore a genre that deals with what the majority of the population is, "middle-class", as argued by scholar Sarah Faulkner in the introduction of her book "Middlebrow Cinema"(2016) "…Middlebrow Cinema Hopes to contribute to the writing of film history."(Faulkner, 2016, pg.3). As we see, this serves a historical film perspective that explores historical moments though cinematic subgenres like the biopics.

As mentioned before, middlebrow cinema is elaborated for the middle-class population and attempts to, dynamically, discuss socially relevant topics.

As Faulkner argues “It is the middlebrow film (and, increasingly, TV), enjoyed by wide audiences, which anticipates change in advance and works through its impact in the aftermath.” (Faulkner, 2016, pg.3), this dynamism of middlebrow is for the previous discussion that we argue as middlebrow is a cinematic that “may tend to revise before and revise after” (Faulkner, 2016, pg.3).

Faulkner explores one of the most interesting cases of middlebrow culture cinema in Europe, which is the case of the Spanish middlebrow film industry and its aftermath, as the legacy that was left during those decades was carried on by auteur Spanish directors like Alejandro Amenabar (1972), whose films use a middlebrow perspective to discuss events from the past and relate them to the present.

This relationship between past and present Spanishness can be explored through the work of one of these directors. Although he was born in Chile, Alejandro Amenabar was raised in Madrid and started his career as a film director during the late 1990s with his film Tesis (Alejandro Amenábar, Sogepaq and Las Producciones del Escorpión S.L, 1996). one of his most recent films explores the atmosphere of the Spanish Civil War (1936-1939) through the eyes of the academic, philosopher and writer Miguel de Unamuno (1864-1936) as we see the rise of Francisco Franco (1892-1975) to power.

For this paper, we are going to explore not only the middlebrow character of contemporary middlebrow cinema in Spain but also going to use Mientras dure la Guerra (Amenabar,2019) as a study case and see how through dynamic storytelling, Amenabar reflects on the present situation of the Spanish political atmosphere.

description: In the context of stochastic continuum-armed bandits, we present an algorithm that adapts to the unknown smoothness of the objective function. We exhibit and compute a polynomial cost of adaptation to the H{ö}lder regularity for regret minimization. To do this, we first reconsider the recent lower bound of Locatelli and Carpentier [20], and define and characterize admissible rate functions. Our new algorithm matches any of these minimal rate functions. We provide a finite-time analysis and a thorough discussion about asymptotic optimality.

description: Daytime nap is associated with the risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). However, the contribution of platelet to the association of daytime nap with ASCVD remains unclear. We analyzed the mediation effect of abnormal platelet indices on the association between daytime nap and 10-year ASCVD risk. The participants of this study were 2445 adults aged 30 to 74 years without ASCVD from the baseline Wuhan residents (n = 3053) of the Wuhan-Zhuhai (WHZH) Cohort Study. Participants completed the questionnaire and physical examination (including blood pressure, height, weight, and blood biochemical indicators). We assessed the association of daytime nap or nocturnal sleep duration with 10-year ASCVD risk and mediation effects of platelet indices on the associations using generalized linear models (GLM). Individuals with daytime nap duration of 30 or 60 min had a 1.37- (95%CI: 1.05, 1.78) or 1.44- (95%CI: 1.17, 1.78) fold increased risk of 10-year ASCVD compared with non-nappers. As compared with non-nappers, MPV values or MPV/PLT ratio mediated 15.29% or 6.18% of the association of daytime nap duration of 30 min with 10-year ADCVD risk as well as 19.21% or 7.61% of the association of daytime nap duration of 60 min with 10-year ADCVD risk (all p < .05). Platelet might partially contribute to increased 10-year ASCVD risk in individuals with daytime nap duration of 30 or 60 min.

description: A Hubbard-like model with SU(4) symmetry for electrons with two-fold orbital degeneracy is studied extensively. Exact solution in one dimension is derived by means of Bethe ansatz, where the sites are supposed to be occupied by at most two electrons. The features of ground state and excited states for repulsive coupling are shown. For finite N number of electrons, the configurations of quantum numbers are given explicitly and the spectra of excitations are obtained by solving the Bethe-ansatz equation numerically. For infinite N, the ground state and various kinds of low-lying excitations are obtained on the basis of thermodynamics limit.

description: In modern nonmarine settings, previous studies have demonstrated the importance of elevation-correlated ecological gradients, but such studies tend to focus on relatively small areas and only one higher taxon. Here, we analyze GBIF occurrence records from a wide variety of taxa across the southeastern United States coastal plain. Many taxa display ecological gradients (gradients in proportional or relative abundance) correlated with elevation, distance to the coast, and latitude. These gradients tend to be steepest within a few tens of kilometers near the coast and at elevations less than 25 m. Some taxa, notably terrestrial mammals, do not display gradients correlated with elevation and distance to the coast. The small sample sizes of these groups and their heterogeneous sampling raise concerns about whether sufficient data exists. Coupled with previous studies of these ecological gradients, their common presence over distances of tens to hundreds of kilometers and elevations of tens to hundreds of meters suggests they are likely important in the nonmarine fossil record. Because elevation and distance to the coast change predictably with cycles of accommodation and sediment flux, these ecological gradients are predicted to occur in the nonmarine stratigraphic record, especially through intervals that record transgression or regression. Such gradients will affect the local composition of species associations and occurrences, even in the absence of regional species origination, immigration, and extinction and in the absence of regional change in the structure of ecological gradients. The ordination of taxon counts in stratigraphically limited samples has great potential for establishing their existence.

description: Knowledge Management (KM) is an important issue in organizations. However there are several barriers to successful KM. In particular, knowledge hoarding, difficulties in identifying organizational knowledge, not understanding KM requirements, and technical difficulties of knowledge representation. In this work we focus on a connection between the managerial and technical aspects of knowledge management. We study the nature of organizational knowledge in order to derive knowledge management requirements to support the design of computerized Knowledge Management Systems. The work consists of three parts: 1) Defining organizational knowledge that needs to be managed. 2) Using the definition of organizational knowledge and its attributes to identify knowledge management requirements. This involves identifying the various facets of knowledge as well as the perceived meta- knowledge requirements of users. 3) Deriving guidelines for the efficient design of knowledge management systems.

description: A fundamental question in the study of memory is: Why do we remember some events but forget others? It has been proposed that people preferentially remember motivationally relevant information, as these memories may be useful in guiding choices in the future, a framework called adaptive memory. This dissertation examined the brain mechanisms that support adaptive memory, specifically focusing on how memory is shaped by rewards and dopamine, using a combination of pharmacological manipulations and behavioral assays. First, we found that rewards retroactively prioritize memory for preceding neutral events, and consistent with models of hippocampal replay, two periods of consolidation are necessary for this effect: a period of rest immediately following encoding and overnight consolidation. Second, motivated by research showing that neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, potentiate motivationally relevant memories to endure over long durations, we administered d-amphetamine (a dopamine agonist) before encoding. We found that when hippocampus dependent memory is tested after a short delay, working memory best accounts for memory performance, but when tested after a long delay, d-amphetamine level directly predicts memory performance. And third, we tested how d-amphetamine modulates different memory systems after a delay, using two different behavioral paradigms in which participants learned about overlapping associations using either stimulus-response learning or deliberate associative encoding. In both experiments, we found that d-amphetamine during encoding enhanced test performance on the trained items a week later; however, we did not detect any evidence that d-amphetamine modulates the integration of the overlapping pairs. Together, the work reported in this dissertation suggests that memory for motivationally relevant information is prioritized, dopamine enhances performance across different memory and learning systems, the effect of both reward and dopamine on memory and learning emerge after consolidation, and dopamine does not bias the hippocampus to encode memories in an integrated manner.
Framework supporting rapid information modelling

description: In this paper, we present a framework capable of supporting Rapid Information Modelling. The management of information is done at the conceptual level without the user having to define a data model for information organisation. We introduce the notion of heterogeneous collections together with a flexible notion of typing. One can easily define new typing constraints according to user needs and integrate them into the framework. To support the processing and querying of information, we provide algebra operations which can be evaluated with or without type checking. An initial version of the framework has been implemented as a web application offering flexible access to information.
Naturalness versus stringy naturalness (with implications for collider and dark matter searches)

description: The notion of stringy naturalness-- that an observable O_2 is more natural than O_1 if more (phenomenologically acceptable) vacua solutions lead to O_2 rather than O_1-- is examined within the context of the Standard Model (SM) and various SUSY extensions: CMSSM/mSUGRA, high-scale SUSY and radiatively-driven natural SUSY (RNS). Rather general arguments from string theory suggest a (possibly mild) statistical draw towards vacua with large soft SUSY breaking terms. These vacua must be tempered by an anthropic veto of non-standard vacua or vacua with too large a value of the weak scale m(weak). We argue that the SM, the CMSSM and the various high-scale SUSY models are all expected to be relatively rare occurances within the string theory landscape of vacua. In contrast, models with TeV-scale soft terms but with m(weak)~100 GeV and consequent light higgsinos (SUSY with radiatively-driven naturalness) should be much more common on the landscape. These latter models have a statistical preference for m_h~ 125 GeV and strongly interacting sparticles beyond current LHC reach. Thus, while conventional naturalness favors sparticles close to the weak scale, stringy naturalness favors sparticles so heavy that electroweak symmetry is barely broken and one is living dangerously close to vacua with charge-or-color breaking minima, no electroweak breaking or pocket universe weak scale values too far from our measured value. Expectations for how landscape SUSY would manifest itself at collider and dark matter search experiments are then modified compared to usual notions.

description: We use a relative Fourier-Mukai transform on elliptic K3 surfaces $X$ to describe mirror symmetry. The action of this Fourier-Mukai transform on the cohomology ring of $X$ reproduces relative T-duality and provides an infinitesimal isometry of the moduli space of algebraic structures on $X$ which, in view of the triviality of the quantum cohomology of K3 surfaces, can be interpreted as mirror symmetry.

description: This is a study of the composition and qualitative nature of university teachers’ pedagogical thinking, reasoning and intention. It extends current framings of pedagogical content knowledge and reasoning, and brings into view the epistemological and pedagogical dimensions that teachers’ orient to, as they constitute subject matter for learning. Because the constitution of subject matter for learning entails the translation of disciplinary knowledge and knowing into accessible learning experiences, the pedagogical thinking and deliberation that informs teaching activity can be highly implicit and specific. A constructivist grounded theory approach was employed because it affords a methodological framework from which to consider and portray the ways in which the teachers themselves think about, construct and present their pedagogical intentions and deliberations. Six university teachers from six different disciplinary settings provided a detailed account of their pedagogical content knowledge and deliberations. In doing so they selected a specific threshold concept from within their teaching context as the focus of their account. Threshold concepts are significant components of subject areas that entail disciplinary-specific ways of knowing. They are transformative in nature, and hence, troublesome to learn. The selection of a specific threshold concept as the focus for each teacher’s account enabled the teachers to talk in a specific, detailed and disciplinary-oriented manner about their pedagogical thinking and intentions...
Asymmetric LOCO Codes: Constrained Codes for Flash Memories

description: In data storage and data transmission, certain patterns are more likely to be subject to error when written (transmitted) onto the media. In magnetic recording systems with binary data and bipolar non-return-to-zero signaling, patterns that have insufficient separation between consecutive transitions exacerbate inter-symbol interference. Constrained codes are used to eliminate such error-prone patterns. A recent example is a new family of capacity-achieving constrained codes, named lexicographically-ordered constrained codes (LOCO codes). LOCO codes are symmetric, that is, the set of forbidden patterns is closed under taking pattern complements. LOCO codes are suboptimal in terms of rate when used in Flash devices where block erasure is employed since the complement of an error-prone pattern is not detrimental in these devices. This paper introduces asymmetric LOCO codes (A-LOCO codes), which are lexicographically-ordered constrained codes that forbid only those patterns that are detrimental for Flash performance. A-LOCO codes are also capacity-achieving, and at finite-lengths, they offer higher rates than the available state-of-the-art constrained codes designed for the same goal. The mapping-demapping between the index and the codeword in A-LOCO codes allows low-complexity encoding and decoding algorithms that are simpler than their LOCO counterparts.

description: Time-domain observations of coherent oscillations between quantum states in mesoscopic superconducting systems were so far restricted to restoring the time-dependent probability distribution from the readout statistics. We propose a new method for direct observation of Rabi oscillations in a phase qubit. The external source, typically in GHz range, induces transitions between the qubit levels. The resulting Rabi oscillations of supercurrent in the qubit loop are detected by a high quality resonant tank circuit, inductively coupled to the phase qubit. Detailed calculation for zero and non-zero temperature are made for the case of persistent current qubit. According to the estimates for dephasing and relaxation times, the effect can be detected using conventional rf circuitry, with Rabi frequency in MHz range.
