description: The Australian Space Eye is a proposed astronomical telescope based on a 6U CubeSat platform. The Space Eye will exploit the low level of systematic errors achievable with a small space based telescope to enable high accuracy measurements of the optical extragalactic background light and low surface brightness emission around nearby galaxies. This project is also a demonstrator for several technologies with general applicability to astronomical observations from nanosatellites. Space Eye is based around a 90 mm aperture clear aperture all refractive telescope for broadband wide field imaging in the i and z bands.

description: State preparation and measurement errors are commonly regarded as indistinguishable. The problem of distinguishing state preparation (SPAM) errors from measurement errors is important to the field of characterizing quantum processors. In this work, we propose a method to separately characterize SPAM errors using a novel type of algorithmic cooling protocol called measurement-based algorithmic cooling (MBAC). MBAC assumes the ability to perform (potentially imperfect) projective measurements on individual qubits, which is available on many modern quantum processors. We demonstrate that MBAC can significantly reduce state preparation error under realistic assumptions, with a small overhead that can be upper bounded by measurable quantities. Thus, MBAC can be a valuable tool not only for benchmarking near-term quantum processors, but also for improving the performance of quantum processors in an algorithmic manner.

Emanzipation in patriarchal strukturierten Familien durch Sozialpädagogische Familienbegleitung: Systemische Handlungsansätze in geschlechterdiskriminierenden Beziehungsdynamiken
Creators: name: Rebmann, Sindy Raffaella
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Die vorliegende Arbeit beschäftigt sich mit den Emanzipationspotenzialen der Sozialpädagogischen Familienbegleitung (SPF) in patriarchal strukturierten Familien. SPF als systemisches Hilfeangebot begleitet Familien in herausfordernden Situationen, analysiert partizipativ Beziehungsdynamiken und plant einzelfallspezifische Interventionen. Das Patriarchat, welches sich im Mikrosystem der Familie reproduziert, wird als gesellschaftliches Phänomen verstanden, welches auf struktureller Gewalt basiert. Anhand einer Literaturrecherche und -analyse wird untersucht, inwiefern sich allgemeine Emanzipationspotenziale der Sozialen Arbeit auf das Arbeitsfeld der SPF übertragen lassen. Auf gesellschaftlicher Makroebene setzt sich die Autorin mit den noch immer vorhandenen Geschlechterungleichheiten und den patriarchalen Strukturen auseinander. Die gesellschaftliche Gewordenheit der heutigen Rollen (-erwartungen) von Mutter- und Vaterschaft leiten in das Mikrosystem der Familie über. Mit dem Fokus auf das Kindeswohl, werden empirisch erhobene Daten und Literaturrecherchen des aktuellen Fachdiskurses verknüpft und die Emanzipationspotenziale der SPF herausgestellt. Phasisch zeigt die Autorin auf der Handlungsebene Hauptmerkmale und potenzielle methodische Ansätze zur systemischen Emanzipationsarbeit auf.

description: Mutually unbiased bases correspond to highly useful pairs of measurements in quantum information theory. In the smallest composite dimension, six, it is known that between three and seven mutually unbiased bases exist, with a decades-old conjecture, known as Zauner's conjecture, stating that there exist at most three. Here we tackle Zauner's conjecture numerically through the construction of Bell inequalities for every pair of integers $n,d \ge 2$ that can be maximally violated in dimension $d$ if and only if $n$ MUBs exist in that dimension. Hence we turn Zauner's conjecture into an optimisation problem, which we address by means of three numerical methods: see-saw optimisation, non-linear semidefinite programming and Monte Carlo techniques. All three methods correctly identify the known cases in low dimensions and all suggest that there do not exist four mutually unbiased bases in dimension six, with all finding the same bases that numerically optimise the corresponding Bell inequality. Moreover, these numerical optimisers appear to coincide with the "four most distant bases" in dimension six, found through numerically optimising a distance measure in [P. Raynal, X. Lü, B.-G. Englert, Phys. Rev. A, 83 062303 (2011)]. Finally, the Monte Carlo results suggest that at most three MUBs exist in dimension ten.

description: Magnetic skyrmions are promising candidates for next-generation information carriers, owing to their small size, topological stability, and ultralow depinning current density. A wide variety of skyrmionic device concepts and prototypes have been proposed, highlighting their potential applications. Here, we report on a bioinspired skyrmionic device with synaptic plasticity. The synaptic weight of the proposed device can be strengthened/weakened by positive/negative stimuli, mimicking the potentiation/depression process of a biological synapse. Both short-term plasticity(STP) and long-term potentiation(LTP) functionalities have been demonstrated for a spiking time-dependent plasticity(STDP) scheme. This proposal suggests new possibilities for synaptic devices for use in spiking neuromorphic computing applications.

description: The sine-Gordon field theory emerges as the low-energy description in a wealth of quantum many-body systems. Recent efforts have been directed towards realizing quantum simulators of the model, by interfering two weakly coupled one-dimensional cold atomic gases. The weak interactions within the atomic clouds provide a sine-Gordon realization in the semiclassical regime. Furthermore, the complex microscopic dynamics prevents a quantitative understanding of the effective sine-Gordon validity realm. In this work, we focus on a spin ladder realization and observe the emergent sine-Gordon dynamics deep in the quantum regime. We use matrix-product state techniques to numerically characterize the low-energy sector of the system and compare it with the exact field theory predictions. From this comparison, we obtain quantitative boundaries for the validity of the sine-Gordon description. We provide encompassing evidence for the emergent field theory by probing its rich spectrum and by observing the signatures of integrable dynamics in scattering events.

description: We consider the influence of photon-initiated processes on high-mass particle production. We discuss in detail the photon PDF at relatively high parton $x$, relevant to such processes, and evaluate its uncertainties. In particular we show that, as the dominant contribution to the input photon distribution is due to coherent photon emission, at phenomenologically relevant scales the photon PDF is already well determined in this region, with the corresponding uncertainties under good control. We then demonstrate the implications of this result for the example processes of high-mass lepton and $W$ boson pair production at the LHC and FCC. While for the former process the photon-initiated contribution is expected to be small, in the latter case we find that it is potentially significant, in particular at larger masses.

description: Background: Critical care bed capacity per capita in Ireland is among the lowest in Europe. The COVID‐19 pandemic has put additional strain on an over‐stretched healthcare system. COVID‐19 community assessment hubs (CAHs) were established to prevent unnecessary admission to acute hospitals and to reduce infection spread. Objective: The aim of this study was to assess the effectiveness and acceptability of CAHs and identify how the service might be improved or adapted for possible future use. Design: This was a mixed methods study, incorporating co‐design with clinical stakeholders. Data collection was via an online survey and semistructured telephone interviews with staff and patients conducted between January and May 2021. Setting and participants: Thirty‐one patients completed the survey and nine were interviewed. Twenty interviews were conducted with staff. Results: The findings suggest that the CAH model was successful in providing a dedicated pathway for assessing patients with COVID‐19 symptoms, whilst mitigating the risk of infection. Patients were particularly positive about the timely, comprehensive and holistic care they received, as well as the accessibility of the clinics and the friendly attitudes of the staff. Staff welcomed the training and clinical protocols which contributed to their feelings of safety and competency in delivering care to this cohort of patients. They also highlighted the benefits of working in a multidisciplinary environment. Both staff and patients felt that the hubs could be repurposed for alternative use, including the treatment of chronic diseases.
Steady states and coarsening in one-dimensional driven Allen-Cahn system

Subjects: subject: Statistical Mechanics (cond-mat.stat-mech)

description: We study the steady states and the coarsening dynamics in a one dimensional driven non-conserved system modelled by the so called driven Allen-Cahn equation, which is the standard Allen-Cahn equation with an additional driving force. In particular, we derive equations of motion for the phase boundaries in a phase ordering system obeying this equation using a nearest neighbour interaction approach. Using the equations of motion we explore kink binary and ternary interactions and analyze how the average domain size scale with respect to time. Further, we employ numerical techniques to perform a bifurcation analysis of the one-period stationary solutions of the equation. We then investigate the linear stability of the two-period solutions and thereby identify and study various coarsening modes.

Klimakrise und soziale Sicherheit: Handlungsoptionen für die Soziale Arbeit im Kontext des Klimawandels
Creators: name: Reist, Stephanie
Publisher: name: Zenodo
Year: 2023

description: Der Klimawandel bringt unterschiedliche Klimagefahren wie Hitze, Wetterextreme und weiteren klimatische Veränderungen mit sich. Die Veränderungen bergen Risiken für die Menschen und führen zu einer erhöhten Vulnerabilität von Individuen und Gesellschaften. Diese Vulnerabilität zeigt sich in krisenhaftem Charakter und so wird der Klimawandel zur Klimakrise. Eine Art, sich vor Risiken zu schützen, ist, diese zu versichern. Materielle und soziale Sicherung helfen, die finanziellen Folgen von Schäden aufzufangen und vulnerable Personen zu stärken. Stephanie Reist geht in dieser Arbeit mit dem Titel Klimakrise und soziale Sicherheit der Frage nach, wie sich der Klimawandel auf die soziale Sicherheit in der Schweiz auswirkt. Anhand der Teilbereiche Krankenversicherung, Arbeitslosenversicherung und wirtschaftliche Sozialhilfe wird aufgezeigt, wie die klimatischen Veränderungen bereits heute spürbar sind und sich auf die Gesundheit und Arbeitsfähigkeit der Menschen auswirken. Ein Blick in die Zukunft zeigt auf, dass dies das System der sozialen Sicherheit belasten könnte. Nach einer Erörterung der Ursachen des Klimawandels werden Entwicklungspotentiale abgeleitet und Handlungsoptionen für die Soziale Arbeit vorgestellt. Die Handlungsoptionen adressieren auf der Mikro-, Meso-, und Makroebene sowohl Klimaschutzmassnahmen als auch Massnahmen zur Unterstützung bei der Anpassung an die veränderten Lebensbedingungen aufgrund der Klimaveränderungen.

description: General Relativity extensions based on Renormalization Group effects are motivated by a known physical principle and constitute a class of extended gravity theories that have some unexplored unique aspects. In this work we develop in detail the Newtonian and post Newtonian limits of a realisation called Renormalization Group extended General Relativity (RGGR). Special attention is taken to the external potential effect, which constitutes a type of screening mechanism typical of RGGR. In the Solar System, RGGR depends on a single dimensionless parameter $\bar ν_\odot$, and this parameter is such that for $\bar ν_\odot = 0$ one fully recovers GR in the Solar System. Previously this parameter was constrained to be $|\bar ν_\odot| \lesssim 10^{-21}$, without considering the external potential effect. Here we show that under a certain approximation RGGR can be cast in a form compatible with the Parametrised Post-Newtonian (PPN) formalism, and we use both the PPN formalism and the Laplace-Runge-Lenz technique to put new bounds on $\bar ν_\odot$, either considering or not the external potential effect. With the external potential effect the new bound reads $|\bar ν_\odot| \lesssim 10^{-16}$. We discuss the possible consequences of this bound to the dark matter abundance in galaxies.

description: The analytic structure of non-Gaussian correlators in inflationary cosmologies has recently been proposed as a test of the quantum origin of structure in the universe. To further understand this proposal, we explore the analogous equal-time in-in correlators in flat space and show they exhibit the same features as their cosmological counterparts. The quantum vacuum is uniquely identified by in-in correlators with a total energy pole and no additional poles at physical momenta. We tie this behavior directly to the S-matrix and show that poles at physical momenta always arise from scattering of particles present in the initial state. We relate these flat-space in-in correlators to the probability amplitude for exciting multiple Unruh-de Witt detectors. Localizing the detectors in spacetime, through the uncertainty principle, provides the energy and momentum needed to excite the vacuum and explains the connection to cosmological particle production. In addition, the entanglement of these detectors provides a probe of the entangled state of the underlying field and connects the properties of the correlators to the range of entanglement of the detectors.

description: As a result of their internal dynamical coherence, thin stellar streams formed by disrupting globular clusters (GCs) can act as detectors of dark matter (DM) substructure in the Galactic halo. Perturbations induced by close flybys amplify into detectable density gaps, providing a probe both of the abundance and of the masses of DM subhaloes. Here, we use N-body simulations to show that the Galactic population of giant molecular clouds (GMCs) can also produce gaps (and clumps) in GC streams, and so may confuse the detection of DM subhaloes. We explore the cases of streams analogous to the observed Palomar 5 and GD1 systems, quantifying the expected incidence of structure caused by GMC perturbations. Deep observations should detect such disturbances regardless of the substructure content of the Milky Way's halo. Detailed modelling will be needed to demonstrate that any detected gaps or clumps were produced by DM subhaloes rather than by molecular clouds.

research integrity

description: Abstract Scholars need to be able to trust each other, because otherwise they cannot collaborate and use each other’s findings. Similarly trust is essential for research to be applied for individuals, society or the natural environment. The trustworthiness is threatened when researchers engage in questionable research practices or worse. By adopting Open Science practices, research becomes transparent and accountable. Only then it is possible to verify whether trust in research findings is justified. The magnitude of the issue is substantial with a prevalence of four percent for both fabrication and falsifica- tion, and more than 50% for questionable research practices. This implies that researchers regularly engage in behaviors that harm the validity and trustworthiness of their work. What is good for the quality and reliability of research is not always good for a scholarly career. Navigating this dilemma depends on how virtuous the researcher at issue is, but also on the local research climate and the perverse incentives in the way the research system functions. Research institutes, funding agencies and scholarly journals can do a lot to foster research integrity, first and foremost by improving the quality of peer review and reforming researcher assessment.

description: The uptake and accumulation of pathological α-synuclein aggregates in neuronal cells is thought to be a major underlying mechanism in the pathogenesis of Parkinson’s disease. This protocol describes an assay to quantify the uptake of these aggregates by neuronal cells by monitoring the uptake of fluorescently labelled α-synuclein preformed fibrils (PFFs) in dopaminergic (DA) neural progenitor cells (NPCs) derived from induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). This protocol provides the details and methods we used for other researchers to screen small molecule libraries for actives that modulate the uptake of fluorescently labelled PFFs uptake in NPCs. It describes the assay, subsequent image acquisition, and image analysis by high-content screening (HCS).

description: In this work we study electromagnetic properties of a resonator recently suggested for the search of axions - a hypothetical candidate to explain dark matter. A wire medium loaded resonator (called a plasma haloscope when used to search for dark matter) consists of a box filled with a dense array of parallel wires electrically connected to top and bottom walls. We show that the homogenization model of wire medium works for this resonator without mesoscopic corrections, and that the resonator quality $Q$ at the frequency of our interest drops versus the growth of the resonator volume $V$ until it is dominated by resistive losses in the wires. We find that even at room temperature metals like copper can give quality factors in the thousands, an order of magnitude higher than originally assumed. Our theoretical results for both loaded and unloaded resonator quality factors were confirmed by building an experimental prototype. We discuss ways to further improve WM loaded resonators.

description: Die vorliegende Masterarbeit, beschäftigt sich mit dem österreichischen Grundsatzerlass Sexualpädagogik (2015). Durch diesen sollen Themen, wie zum Beispiel sexuelle und geschlechtliche Vielfalt, schul- und fachübergreifend implementiert werden. Aufbauend auf Arbeiten im Bereich der sexualpädagogischen Aus- und Weiterbildung von Marion Thuswald (2022) sowie Theorien und Konzepten zur Beforschung von Diskriminierung, gibt diese Arbeit einen Einblick in Themen der Vielfalt an Bildungseinrichtungen. Anhand von Expert*inneninterviews und einer Schulbuchanalyse, werden die Inhalte der Unterstufe (AHS & Mittelschule) an österreichischen Schulen untersucht. Der Fokus liegt auf sexueller, geschlechtlicher und romantischer Vielfalt – eine Erweiterung welche auf Judith Butler (2002) aufbaut. Durch die Arbeit wird gezeigt, dass die Forderungen des Grundsatzerlass Sexualpädagogik (2015) durch Inhalte inner- sowie außerhalb des Unterrichts nicht eingehalten werden können.
description: This master's thesis deals with the Grundsatzerlass Sexualpädagogik (2015), which formulates standards for Austrian sex education. This decree aims to implement topics such as sexual and gender diversity in schools and across disciplines. Building on research in the area of sex education training by Marion Thuswald (2022) as well as theories and concepts for researching discrimination, this thesis provides an insight into diversity in institutional educational settings. On the basis of expert interviews and an analysis of textbooks/educational materials, the contents of the lower school education (AHS & Mittelschule) at Austrian schools are examined. The focus lies on sexual, gender and romantic diversity - an extension based on the theories of Judith Butler (2002). The work shows that the requirements stated by the Grundsatzerlass Sexualpädagogik (2015) cannot be met by the content in and outside of the classroom.

description: Any new vector boson with non-zero mass (a `dark photon' or `Proca boson') that is present during inflation is automatically produced at this time from vacuum fluctuations and can comprise all or a substantial fraction of the observed dark matter density, as shown by Graham, Mardon, and Rajendran. We demonstrate, utilising both analytic and numerical studies, that such a scenario implies an extremely rich dark matter substructure arising purely from the interplay of gravitational interactions and quantum effects. Due to a remarkable parametric coincidence between the size of the primordial density perturbations and the scale at which quantum pressure is relevant, a substantial fraction of the dark matter inevitably collapses into gravitationally bound solitons, which are fully quantum coherent objects. The central densities of these `dark photon star', or `Proca star', solitons are typically a factor $10^6$ larger than the local background dark matter density, and they have characteristic masses of $10^{-16} M_\odot (10^{-5}{\rm eV}/m)^{3/2}$, where $m$ is the mass of the vector. During and post soliton production a comparable fraction of the energy density is initially stored in, and subsequently radiated from, long-lived quasi-normal modes. Furthermore, the solitons are surrounded by characteristic `fuzzy' dark matter halos in which quantum wave-like properties are also enhanced relative to the usual virialized dark matter expectations. Lower density compact halos, with masses a factor of $\sim 10^5$ greater than the solitons, form at much larger scales. We argue that, at minimum, the solitons are likely to survive to the present day without being tidally disrupted. This rich substructure, which we anticipate also arises from other dark photon dark matter production mechanisms, opens up a wide range of new direct and indirect detection possibilities, as we discuss in a companion paper.

description: The structure of $^{83}$As, $^{85}$As and $^{87}$As have been studied in fusion-fission reaction $^{238}$U+$^9$Be. Fission fragments were identified in mass and atomic number using the VAMOS++ spectrometer and the coincident $γ$-rays were detected in the $γ$-ray tracking array AGATA. New transitions in $^{83}$As and $^{85}$As are reported and placed in the level schemes. A level scheme of the excited states in $^{87}$As is proposed for the first time. The data are interpreted in frame of Large-Scale Shell-Model calculations, SU3 symmetries and Beyond Mean-Field frameworks. A spherical regime at magic number $N$=50 is predicted and the location of the proton $g_{9/2}$ orbital is proposed for the first time. Development of collectivity in a prolate deformed, $γ$-soft regime in the open shell cases $^{85}$As and $^{87}$As, most neutron-rich isotopes beyond $N$=50, is concluded. Data and theoretical calculations give confidence to a relatively high extrapolated excitation energy about 4 MeV of the $9/2^+$ state in $^{79}$Cu, one proton above $^{78}$Ni.

description: Gravitational wave observations of large mass ratio compact binary mergers like GW190814 highlight the need for reliable, high-accuracy waveform templates for such systems. We present NRHybSur2dq15, a new surrogate model trained on hybridized numerical relativity (NR) waveforms with mass ratios $q\leq15$, and aligned spins $|χ_{1z}|\leq0.5$ and $χ_{2z}=0$. We target the parameter space of GW190814-like events as large mass ratio NR simulations are very expensive. The model includes the (2,2), (2,1), (3,3), (4,4), and (5,5) spin-weighted spherical harmonic modes, and spans the entire LIGO bandwidth (with $f_{\mathrm{low}}=20$ Hz) for total masses $M \gtrsim 9.5 \, M_{\odot}$. NRHybSur2dq15 accurately reproduces the hybrid waveforms, with mismatches below $\sim 2 \times 10^{-3}$ for total masses $10 \, M_{\odot} \leq M \leq 300 \, M_{\odot}$. This is at least an order of magnitude improvement over existing semi-analytical models for GW190814-like systems. Finally, we reanalyze GW190814 with the new model and obtain source parameter constraints consistent with previous work.

description: We present a novel approach to modeling the ground state mass of atomic nuclei based directly on a probabilistic neural network constrained by relevant physics. Our Physically Interpretable Machine Learning (PIML) approach incorporates knowledge of physics by using a physically motivated feature space in addition to a soft physics constraint that is implemented as a penalty to the loss function. We train our PIML model on a random set of $\sim$20\% of the Atomic Mass Evaluation (AME) and predict the remaining $\sim$80\%. The success of our methodology is exhibited by the unprecedented $σ_\textrm{RMS}\sim186$ keV match to data for the training set and $σ_\textrm{RMS}\sim316$ keV for the entire AME with $Z \geq 20$. We show that our general methodology can be interpreted using feature importance.

description: Based on the mathematics of noncommutative geometry, we model a 'classical' Dirac fermion propagating in a curved spacetime. We demonstrate that the inherent causal structure of the model encodes the possibility of Zitterbewegung - the 'trembling motion' of the fermion. We recover the well-known frequency of Zitterbewegung as the highest possible speed of change in the fermion's 'internal space'. Furthermore, we show that the latter does not change in the presence of an external electromagnetic field and derive its explicit analogue when the mass parameter is promoted to a Higgs-like field. We discuss a table-top experiment in the domain of quantum simulation to test the predictions of the model and outline the consequences of our model for quantum gauge theories.
