description: Description:

Presentation for the defense of my Bachelor's Thesis: "Development of an acoustic measurement system of the Modulus of Elasticity in trees, logs and boards".

The "full" presentation was defended in front of an academic panel in September 2022 at the ETSIIT - Escuela Técnica Superior de Ingeniería Informática y Telecomunicación (Higher Technical School of Computer Engineering and Telecommunications) of the University of Granada (UGR).

The "simplified" version was made to demonstrate the multiple applications that telecommunications have and to give an idea of what End-of-Degree Projects and their development process are like for first-year students.

 

Abstract:

Granada has one of the worst pollution levels in Spain, just behind Madrid and Barcelona. Contradictorily, poplar forestry in Granada has suffered a significant setback over the last two decades. Poplar trees have great environmental benefits including CO2 absorption. Now that innovative wood composites and manufacturing processes are being developed by research groups at the UGR, in addition to the European legislation, which promotes a more sustainable construction and more efficient buildings, an opportunity arises for this timber resource.

In order to take advantage of this resource it is necessary to develop tools capable of characterising the structural properties of wood. This is the main objective of this project: to create a device which measures the MOE of wood in a non-destructive way.

The velocity of an acoustic wave inside a material is related to its MOE. On thin and elongated shapes the longitudinal wave can be considered to propagate as a flat wavefront. To estimate the wave velocity we use the Time-of-Flight (ToF) method and the Akaike Information Criterion (AIC).

description: In the context of canonical quantum gravity, we study an alternative real quantisation scheme, which is arising by relating simpler Riemannian quantum theory to the more complicated physical Lorentzian theory - the generalised Wick transform. On the symmetry reduced models, homogenous Bianchi cosmology and 2+1 gravity, we investigate its generalised construction principle, demonstrate that the emerging quantum theory is equivalent to the one obtained from standard quantisation and how to obtain physical states in Lorentzian gravity from Wick transforming solutions of Riemannian quantum theory.

description: Intrinsically motivated reinforcement learning aims to address the exploration challenge for sparse-reward tasks. However, the study of exploration methods in transition-dependent multi-agent settings is largely absent from the literature. We aim to take a step towards solving this problem. We present two exploration methods: exploration via information-theoretic influence (EITI) and exploration via decision-theoretic influence (EDTI), by exploiting the role of interaction in coordinated behaviors of agents. EITI uses mutual information to capture influence transition dynamics. EDTI uses a novel intrinsic reward, called Value of Interaction (VoI), to characterize and quantify the influence of one agent's behavior on expected returns of other agents. By optimizing EITI or EDTI objective as a regularizer, agents are encouraged to coordinate their exploration and learn policies to optimize team performance. We show how to optimize these regularizers so that they can be easily integrated with policy gradient reinforcement learning. The resulting update rule draws a connection between coordinated exploration and intrinsic reward distribution. Finally, we empirically demonstrate the significant strength of our method in a variety of multi-agent scenarios.
Fermion contribution to the static quantities of arbitrarily charged vector bosons

description: We present an analysis of the one-loop contribution from left- and right-handed fermions to the static electromagnetic properties of an arbitrarily charged no self-conjugate vector boson $V$. Particular emphasis is given to the case of a no self-conjugate neutral boson $V^0$. Regardless the electric charge of the $V$ boson, a fermionic loop can induce the two CP-even form factors but only one CP-odd. As a result the corresponding electric dipole moment is directly proportional to the magnetic quadrupole moment. The CP-odd form factor might be severely suppressed since it requires the presence of both left- and right-handed fermions. The behavior of the form factors is analyzed for several scenarios of the fermion masses in the context of the decoupling theorem.

description: Imaging and spectra of the lensed QSO pair 0957+561 are presented and discussed. The data are principally those from the STIS NUV MAMA, and cover rest wavelengths from 850A to 1350A. The QSOs are both extended over about 1 arcsec, with morphology that matches with a small rotation, and includes one feature aligned with the VLBI radio jets. This is the first evidence of lensed structure in the host galaxy. The off-nuclear spectra arise from emission line gas and a young stellar population. The gas has velocity components with radial velocities at least 1000 km/s with respect to the QSO BLR, and may be related to the damped Ly alpha absorber in the nuclear spectra.

description: A programmable gate array is a circuit whose action is controlled by input data. In this letter we describe a special--purpose quantum circuit that can be programmed to evaluate the expectation value of any operator $O$ acting on a space of states of $N$ dimensions. The circuit has a program register whose state $|Ψ(O)>_P$ encodes the operator $O$ whose expectation value is to be evaluated. The method requires knowledge of the expansion of $O$ in a basis of the space of operators. We discuss some applications of this circuit and its relation to known instances of quantum state tomography.

description: Abstract Objectives: This study was designed to assess the effect of healthcare providers’ communication skills in the satisfaction and outcomes of cancer patients in cancer care centers in Lebanon. Methods: This cross sectional quantitative study was conducted in five different cancer care centers in Lebanon. Two hundred and twenty participants across all the five selected centers were asked to take part in the study by filling the 16-item questionnaire. Data was collected within two months, from May to July 2018. Results: Two hundred and nine questionnaires (95% response rate) were completed and used in the analysis. Out of the 47.4% of the cancer patients who expressed satisfactions with their consultations with the doctors, only 34% recognized that such consultations were useful. Further, more than 55% of the patients do not understand the medical terms used by doctors and are hence less satisfied with the consultations. This study has also confirmed that most cancer patients consider communication to be more significant at the pretreatment phase. Conclusion: We have established that the healthcare practitioners, especially doctors, still use technical language and terminologies that discomfort the cancer patients and thus hamper their satisfaction and better outcome. Moreover, the demographic factors such as level of education also contribute to patients’ satisfaction with caregivers’ communication skills.

description: We study a realistic Floquet topological superconductor, a periodically driven nanowire proximitized to an equilibrium s-wave superconductor. Due to both strong energy and density fluctuations caused from the superconducting proximity effect, the Floquet Majorana wire becomes dissipative. We show that the Floquet band structure is still preserved in this dissipative system. In particular, we find that both the Floquet Majorana zero and pi modes can no longer be simply described by the Floquet topological band theory. We also propose an effective model to simplify the calculation of the lifetime of these Floquet Majoranas, and find that the lifetime can be engineered by the external driving field.

description: Laser wakefield acceleration relies on the excitation of a plasma wave due to the ponderomotive force of an intense laser pulse. However, plasma wave trains in the wake of the laser have scarcely been studied directly in experiments. Here we use few-cycle shadowgraphy in conjunction with interferometry to quantify plasma waves excited by the laser within the density range of GeV-scale accelerators, i.e. a few 1e18 cm-3. While analytical models suggest a clear dependency between the non-linear plasma wavelength and the peak potential a_0, our study shows that the analytical models are only accurate for driver strength a_0<=1. Experimental data and systematic particle-in-cell simulations reveal that nonlinear lengthening of plasma wave train depends not solely on the laser peak intensity but also on the waist of the focal spot.

description: The effective design and delivery of assessments in a wide variety of evolving educational environments remains a challenging problem. Proposals have included the use of learning dashboards, peer learning environments, and grading support systems; these embrace visualisations to summarise and communicate results. In an on-going project, the investigation of graph based visualisation models for assessment design and delivery has yielded promising results. Here, an alternative graph foundation, a two-weighted hypergraph, is considered to represent the assessment material (e.g., questions) and their explicit mapping to one or more learning objective topics. The visualisation approach considers the hypergraph as a collection of levels; the content of these levels can be customized and presented according to user preferences. A case study on generating hypergraph models using commonly available assessment data and a flexible visualisation approach using historical data from an introductory programming course is presented

description: The low-lying isomeric state of $^{229}$Th provides unique opportunities for high-resolution laser spectroscopy of the atomic nucleus. We determine the energy of this isomeric state by taking the absolute energy difference between the excitation energy required to populate the 29.2-keV state from the ground-state and the energy emitted in its decay to the isomeric excited state. A transition-edge sensor microcalorimeter was used to measure the absolute energy of the 29.2-keV $γ$-ray. Together with the cross-band transition energy (29.2 keV$\to$ground) and the branching ratio of the 29.2-keV state measured in a recent study, the isomer energy was determined to be 8.30$\pm$0.92 eV. Our result is in agreement with latest measurements based on different experimental techniques, which further confirms that the isomeric state of $^{229}$Th is in the laser-accessible vacuum ultraviolet range.

 Remarks. Kuwayama (1964) firstly recorded this species from Ishigaki Island, Japan, and he identified it as N. sinensis. Hayashi (1989b) also recorded N. sinensis from Iriomote Island neighboring to Ishigaki Island. However, this species distinctly differs from N. sinensis by the wing patterns and the male tenth sternum with the apex strongly inflated in lateral view. In N. sinensis, the median transverse band on the forewing is long and narrow, and the apex of the male tenth sternum is not inflated. The prothorax in N. nigris from the Ishigaki and Iriomote Islands is bright yellow, while it is a little dull and marked with a pair of brownish vittae on the lateral margins in that from the Chinese mainland.

description: This paper studies optimal designs for linear regression models with correlated effects for single responses. We introduce the concept of rhombic design to reduce the computational complexity and find a semi-algebraic description for the D-optimality of a rhombic design via the Kiefer-Wolfowitz equivalence theorem. Subsequently, we show that the structure of an optimal rhombic design depends directly on the correlation structure of the random coefficients.

Operator-Schmidt decompositions and the Fourier transform, with applications to the operator-Schmidt numbers of unitaries
Creators: name: Tyson, Jon E
Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2003
Subjects: subject: Quantum Physics (quant-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: The operator-Schmidt decomposition is useful in quantum information theory for quantifying the nonlocality of bipartite unitary operations. We construct a family of unitary operators on C^n tensor C^n whose operator-Schmidt decompositions are computed using the discrete Fourier transform. As a corollary, we produce unitaries on C^3 tensor C^3 with operator-Schmidt number S for every S in {1,...,9}. This corollary was unexpected, since it contradicted reasonable conjectures of Nielsen et al [Phys. Rev. A 67 (2003) 052301] based on intuition from a striking result in the two-qubit case. By the results of Dur, Vidal, and Cirac [Phys. Rev. Lett. 89 (2002) 057901 quant-ph/0112124], who also considered the two-qubit case, our result implies that there are nine equivalence classes of unitaries on C^3 tensor C^3 which are probabilistically interconvertible by (stochastic) local operations and classical communication. As another corollary, a prescription is produced for constructing maximally-entangled operators from biunimodular functions. Reversing tact, we state a generalized operator-Schmidt decomposition of the quantum Fourier transform considered as an operator C^M_1 tensor C^M_2 --> C^N_1 tensor C^N_2, with M_1 x M_2 = N_1 x N_2. This decomposition shows (by Nielsen's bound) that the communication cost of the QFT remains maximal when a net transfer of qudits is permitted. In an appendix, a canonical procedure is given for removing basis-dependence for results and proofs depending on the "magic basis" introduced in [S. Hill and W. Wootters, "Entanglement of a pair of quantum bits," Phys Rev. Lett 78 (1997) 5022-5025, quant-ph/9703041 (and quant-ph/9709029)].

description: Phase transitions in dissipative quantum systems are intriguing because they are induced by the interplay between coherent quantum and incoherent classical fluctuations. Here, we investigate the crossover from a quantum to a classical absorbing phase transition arising in the quantum contact process (QCP). The Lindblad equation contains two parameters, $ω$ and $κ$, which adjust the contributions of the quantum and classical effects, respectively. We find that in one dimension when the QCP starts from a homogeneous state with all active sites, there exists a critical line in the region $0 \le κ< κ_*$ along which the exponent $α$ (which is associated with the density of active sites) decreases continuously from a quantum to the classical directed percolation (DP) value. This behavior suggests that the quantum coherent effect remains to some extent near $κ=0$. However, when the QCP in one dimension starts from a heterogeneous state with all inactive sites except for one active site, all the critical exponents have the classical DP values for $κ\ge 0$. In two dimensions, anomalous crossover behavior does not occur, and classical DP behavior appears in the entire region of $κ\ge 0$ regardless of the initial configuration. Neural network machine learning is used to identify the critical line and determine the correlation length exponent. Numerical simulations using the quantum jump Monte Carlo technique and tensor network method are performed to determine all the other critical exponents of the QCP.

description: Constructing four six-dimensional mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) is an open problem in quantum physics and measurement. We investigate the existence of four MUBs including the identity, and a complex Hadamard matrix (CHM) of Schmidt rank three. The CHM is equivalent to a controlled unitary operation on the qubit-qutrit system via local unitary transformation $I_2\otimes V$ and $I_2\otimes W$. We show that $V$ and $W$ have no zero entry, and apply it to exclude examples as members of MUBs. We further show that the maximum of entangling power of controlled unitary operation is $\log_2 3$ ebits. We derive the condition under which the maximum is achieved, and construct concrete examples. Our results describe the phenomenon that if a CHM of Schmidt rank three belongs to an MUB then its entangling power may not reach the maximum.

description: Spiroborate anions based inorganic electrolytes and ionic liquids (ILs) have fascinating electrochemical and tribological properties, and have received widespread attention in industrial applications. Molecular chiralities of spiroborate anions have a significant effect on microstructures and macroscopic functionalities of these ionic materials in applications, and thus deserve a fundamental understanding. In current work, we performed quantum chemistry calculations to address binding strength and coordination structures of chiral bis(mandelato)borate ([BMB]) anions with representative alkali metal ions, as well as electronic properties of alkali metal ion-[BMB] ion pair complexes. The optimized [BMB] conformers are categorized into V-shaped, bent, and twisted structures with varied electrostatic potential contours, conformational energies, and distinct alkali metal ion-[BMB] binding structures. Alkali metal ions have additional associations with phenyl groups in V-shaped [BMB] conformers owing to preferential cation-$π$ interactions. Furthermore, effects of molecular chiralities of [BMB] anions on thermodynamics and microstructural properties of tetraalkylphosphonium [BMB] ILs were studied by performing extensive atomistic interactions. Oxygen atoms in [BMB] anions have competitive hydrogen bonding interactions with hydrogen atoms in cations depending on molecular chiralities and steric hindrance effects of [BMB] anions. However, molecular chiralities of [BMB] anions have negligible effect on liquid densities of tetraalkylphosphonium [BMB] ILs and spatial distributions of boron atoms in anions around phosphorous atoms in cations. Enlarging tetraalkylphosphonium cation sizes leads to enhanced cation-anion hydrogen bonding and Coulombic interactions due to enhanced segregation of polar groups in apolar networks in heterogeneous IL matrices.

Almost Global Solutions to the Three-dimensional Isentropic Inviscid Flows with Damping in Physical Vacuum Around Barenlatt Solutions

description: For the three-dimensional vacuum free boundary problem with physical singularity that the sound speed is $C^{ {1}/{2}}$-H$\ddot{\rm o}$lder continuous across the vacuum boundary of the compressible Euler equations with damping, without any symmetry assumptions, we prove the almost global existence of smooth solutions when the initial data are small perturbations of the Barenblatt self-similar solutions to the corresponding porous media equations simplified via Darcy's law. It is proved that if the initial perturbation is of the size of $ε$, then the existing time for smooth solutions is at least of the order of $\exp(ε^{-2/3})$. The key issue for the analysis is the slow {\em sub-linear} growth of vacuum boundaries of the order of $t^{1/(3γ-1)}$, where $γ>1$ is the adiabatic exponent for the gas. This is in sharp contrast to the currently available global-in-time existence theory of expanding solutions to the vacuum free boundary problems with physical singularity of compressible Euler equations for which the expanding rate of vacuum boundaries is linear. The results obtained in this paper is closely related to the open question in multiple dimensions since T.-P. Liu's construction of particular solutions in 1996 .
Local passivity and entanglement in shared quantum batteries

description: We identify the conditions for local passivity for shared quantum batteries with local Hamiltonians. For locally passive states of two-qubit batteries, we find the relation of their entanglement content with the amount of energy that can be globally extracted from them. Moreover, we obtain that the deficit in work extraction from pure battery states due to the restriction to local unitaries is equal to the amount of optimal global work extractable from the corresponding pure locally passive battery state, for the same entanglement supply. Furthermore, the pure battery state for which globally extractable work attains a maximum, among the set of all pure states with a fixed value of entanglement, also provides the maximum locally extractable work.

description: We study mutually unbiased bases (MUBs) in which all the bases are unextendible maximally entangled ones. We first present a necessary and sufficient condition of constructing a pair of MUBs in $C^2 \otimes C^4$. Based on this condition, an analytical and necessary condition for constructing MUBs is given. Moreover we illustrate our approach by some detailed examples in $C^2 \otimes C^4$. The results are generalized to $C^2 \otimes C^d$ $(d\geq 3)$ and a concrete example in $C^2 \otimes C^8$ is given.

On X-ray variability in narrow line and broad line AGNs

description: We assembled a sample of broad line and narrow lines AGNs observed by ASCA, whose excess variances have been determined. The central black hole masses in this sample can be obtained from the reverberation mapping method and the width of H$β$ emission line. Using the black hole masses and the bolometric luminosity, the Eddington ratio can also be obtained. We confirmed the strong anti-correlation between X-ray variability and the central black mass founded by Lu & Yu. We further found that narrow line Seyfert 1 galaxies (NLS1s) also follow this relation with a larger scatter and there is only a weak correlation between the X-ray variability and the Eddington ratio, which suggest that rapid variability and narrow lines in NLS1s are mainly due to small central black holes in NLS1s, not the difference of circumnuclear gas around NLS1s. A strong correlation was found between the hard X-ray photon index and the Eddington ratio. If the suggestion of two distinct accretion classes, namely ADAF and thin disk accretion, in AGNs (Lu & Yu) is correct, the strong photon index-Eddington ration correlation showed that there exists a kind of two zone accretion disk, in which the outer zone is a thin disk, and the inner zone is an ADAF disk. Otherwise, the accretion process is the thin disk accretion and the ADAF accretion is not required.
