description: Purpose: This study evaluated the effect of aided augmentative and alternative communication modeling (AAC-MOD) on the communication skills of children with Down syndrome (DS) during small group dialogic reading. Method: Four children with DS between 3;1 and 5;3 (years;months; M = 4;5) and 5 typically developing peers between 3;5 and 5;9 (M = 4;3) participated. Effects were examined using a multiple probe across behaviors design with 4 children with DS. To simulate typical dialogic reading routines in inclusive classrooms, a strategy called Read, Ask, Answer, Prompt (Binger, Kent-Walsh, Ewing, & Taylor, 2010) was applied during the baseline and intervention sessions.Results: A functional relation was demonstrated between (a) AAC-MOD and percentage of correctly identified symbols for 3 participants, (b) AAC-MOD and rate of symbolic communication for 2 participants, and (c) AAC-MOD and number of different words for 2 participants. Increases in number of multiple word combinations occurred for 2 participants. All 4 children maintained their percentage of correctly identified symbols. Increases in rate of symbolic communication did not generalize to thematic play contexts, a distal measure of response generalization.Conclusion: AAC-MOD is an effective strategy for teaching target vocabulary and increasing rate of symbolic communication in young children with DS.

Enhanced mass-loss rate evolution of stars with $\gtrsim 18 M_\odot$ and missing optically-observed type II core-collapse supernovae

description: We evolve stellar models with zero-age main sequence (ZAMS) mass of $M_{\rm ZAMS} \gtrsim 18 M_\odot$ under the assumption that they experience an enhanced mass-loss rate when crossing the instability strip at high luminosities and conclude that most of them end as type Ibc supernovae (SNe Ibc) or dust-obscured SNe II. We explore what level of enhanced mass-loss rate during the instability strip would be necessary to explain the `red supergiant (RSG) problem'. This problem refers to the dearth of observed core-collapse supernovae progenitors with $M_{\rm ZAMS} \gtrsim 18 M_\odot$. Namely, we examine what enhanced mass loss rate could make it possible for all these stars actually to explode as CCSNe. We find that the mass-loss rate should increase by a factor of at least about ten. We reach this conclusion by analyzing the hydrogen mass in the stellar envelope and the optical depth of the dusty wind at the explosion, and crudely estimate that under our assumptions only about a fifth of these stars explode as unobscured SNe II and SNe IIb. About 10-15 per cent end as obscured SNe II that are infrared-bright but visibly very faint, and the rest, about 65-70 per cent, end as SNe Ibc. However, the statistical uncertainties are still too significant to decide whether many stars with $M_{\rm ZAMS} \gtrsim 18M_\odot$ do not explode as expected in the neutrino driven explosion mechanism, or whether all of them explode as CCSNe, as expected by the jittering jets explosion mechanism.

A Generic Solver for Unconstrained Control Problems with Integral Functional Objectives

Year: 2019
Subjects: subject: Optimization and Control (math.OC)
subject: FOS: Mathematics

description: We present a generic solver for unconstrained control problems (UCPs) whose objectives take the form of an integral functional of the controllers. The solver generalizes and improves upon the algorithm proposed by Tseng and Tang for the Witsenhausen's counterexample, which provides the best-known results. In essence, we show that minimizing the objective implies minimizing the marginal cost functions almost everywhere, and we perform the latter task pointwisely by the adaptive minimization technique, which speeds up the computation. We implement single-threaded and parallelized versions of the proposed algorithm. Our implementation runs $30 \times$ faster than Tseng and Tang's algorithm on the Witsenhausen's counterexample, and we demonstrate the applicability of the solver and discuss the possible generalization to constrained problems through two more examples.

description: Recent neutrino data have been favourable to a nearly bimaximal mixing, which suggests a simple form of the neutrino mass matrix. Stimulated by this matrix form, a possibility that all the mass matrices of quarks and leptons have the same form as in the neutrinos is investigated. The mass matrix form is constrained by a discrete symmetry Z_3 and a permutation symmetry S_2. The model, of course, leads to a nearly bimaximal mixing for the lepton sectors, while, for the quark sectors, it can lead to reasonable values of the CKM mixing matrix and masses.

description: Nowadays, automation not only dominates industry but becomes more and more a part of our private, everyday lives. Following the notion of increased convenience and more time for the "important things in life”, automation relieves us from many daily household chores – robots vacuum floors and automated coffeemakers produce supposedly barista-quality coffee on the press of a button. In many cases these offers are embraced by people without further questioning. Of course, automation frees us from many unloved activities, but we may also lose something by delegating more and more everyday activities to automation. In a series of four studies, we explored the experiential costs of everyday automation and strategies of how to design technology to reconcile experience with the advantages of ever more powerful automation.

description: In many atomically thin materials their optical absorption is dominated by excitonic transitions. It was recently found that optical selection rules in these materials are influenced by the band topology near the valleys. We propose that gate-controlled band ordering in a single atomic monolayer, through changes in the valley winding number and excitonic transitions, can be probed in helicity-resolved absorption and photoluminescence. This predicted tunable band topology is confirmed by combining an effective Hamiltonian and a Bethe-Salpeter equation for an accurate description of excitons, with first-principles calculations suggesting its realization in Sb-based monolayers.

We argue that some of the beautiful physics of the quantum Ising chain in a magnetic field survives in the ordered state of the quasi-one-dimensional model and can be observed experimentally by means of neutron scattering.

description: Purpose: Cognitive deficits are common in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and can have a detrimental effect on daily activities. To date, most cognitive treatments have had an impairment-based focus with primary outcome measures of formal neuropsychological test scores. Few, if any, studies have focused on functional improvement or patient-centered goals.Method: Three individuals with idiopathic PD participated in an 8-week pilot treatment program to train for the use of compensatory external aids to achieve personalized goals. Goal attainment scaling was the primary outcome measure, which was independently judged by multiple raters at baseline, postintervention, and 1 month posttreatment and analyzed via T-score analysis. Descriptive measures, including self-report and spouse-report rating scales of cognitive functioning, were employed.Results: All 3 participants improved in the majority of their laboratory and home goals posttreatment, as measured by goal attainment scaling, and maintained gains for the majority of goals 1 month posttreatment.Conclusions: This is the 1st known study to implement an external aids treatment program with patient-centered goals for individuals with cognitive deficits from PD. Positive outcomes were likely influenced by 3 factors: (a) a theoretically motivated focus on external aids; (b) a well-documented, systematic approach to instruction; and (c) the personalization of goals.

description: Genus Nicolea Malmgren, 1866
 Type species: Terebella zostericola Ørsted, 1844, designated by Malmgren (1866).
 Diagnosis. Terebellines with 2 pairs of branching branchiae, on segments 2–3. Lobes on anterior segments absent. Notopodia starting from segment 4, extending for 15–40 segments; notochaetae narrowly-winged. Neuropodia starting from segment 5, sessile on region with biramous parapodia, as raised pinnules after notopodia terminate; uncini short-handled throughout, arranged in completely intercalated double rows from segment 10–11 until segment on which notopodia terminate. Nephridial papillae on segment 3, genital papillae on segments 6–7, usually males with cylindrical, digitiform genital papillae, females with spherical papillae (Hessle 1917; McHugh 1995; Nogueira 2008).
 Remarks. Nicolea is a large genus, reported worldwide. The genus is conservative in regards to numbers of pairs of branchiae, morphology of notochaetae, arrangement of the double rows of uncini and the position of nephridial and genital papillae.
 On the other hand, Nicolea exhibits variation in the number of pairs of notopodia, the segment on which the double rows of uncini begin, the morphology of genital papillae and the presence of secondary sexual dimorphism.
 In Brazil, a single species of Nicolea has been reported prior to the present study, N. uspiana (Nogueira, 2003), from the state of São Paulo.

description: In this article, we studied the system of (2+1) dimensional Dirac equation in time-dependent noncommutative phase-space. Exactly, we investigated the analytical solution of the corresponding system by the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant method based on the construction of the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant. Knowing that we obtained the time-dependent Dirac Hamiltonian of the problem in question from a time-dependent Bopp-Shift translation, then it used to set the Lewis-Riesenfeld invariant operators. Thereafter, the obtained results used to express the eigenfunctions that lead to determining the general solution of the system.

It shows that Aryabhata's basic constant is closer to the Indian counterpart than to the Babylonian one. Sketching connections between Aryabhata's framework and earlier Indic astronomical ideas on yugas and cyclic calendar systems, it is argued that Aryabhata's system is an outgrowth of an earlier Indic tradition.

description: The abstract of Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 157001 (2018) claims to "demonstrate, using ab initio computations, a new trend suggesting that the cuprates with stronger out-of-CuO$_{2}$-plane chemical bonding between the apical anion (O, Cl) and apical cation (e.g., La, Hg, Bi, Tl) are generally correlated with higher $T_{c\,\max}$ in experiments". We point out that this trend is included in the long-known [Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 047003 (2001)] correlation of $T_{c\,\max}$ with the hopping range of the electrons at (the most interlayer-bonding sheet of) the Fermi-surface. Contrary to the impression given in Phys. Rev. Lett. 121, 157001 (2018), the correlation mentioned in Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 047003 (2001) is not simply with the distance, $d_{A},$ of apical oxygen from the nearest CuO$_{2}$ plane; but rather, as stated in the abstract of Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, 047003 (2001), "It is controlled by the energy of the axial orbital, a hybrid between Cu 4$s$, apical-oxygen 2$p_{z},$ and farther orbitals."

description: Work is a rich source of meaning. However, beyond organizational changes, most approaches in the research field of Meaningful Work neglected the power of work-related technology to increase meaning. Using two cases as examples, this paper proposes a wellbeing-driven approach to the design of work-related technology. Despite the positive results of our cases, we argue that the use of technology as a means of increasing meaning in the workplace is still in its infancy.
Turbulent Dynamo in Asymptotic Giant Branch Stars

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2001
Subjects: subject: Astrophysics (astro-ph)
subject: FOS: Physical sciences

description: Using recent results on the operation of turbulent dynamos, we show that a turbulent dynamo can amplify a large scale magnetic field in the envelopes of asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars. We propose that a slow rotation of the AGB envelope can fix the symmetry axis, leading to the formation of an axisymmetric magnetic field structure. Unlike solar-type alpha-omega dynamos, the rotation has only a small role in amplifying the toroidal component of the magnetic field. The large-scale magnetic field is strong enough for the formation of magnetic cool spots on the AGB stellar surface. The spots can regulate dust formation, hence mass loss rate, leading to axisymmetric mass loss and the formation of elliptical planetary nebulae (PNe). Despite its role in forming cool spots, the large scale magnetic field is too weak to play a dynamic role and directly influence the wind from the AGB star. We find other problems in models where the magnetic field plays a dynamic role in shaping the AGB winds, and argue that they cannot explain the formation of nonspherical PNe.

description: Congestion control in the current Internet is accomplished mainly by TCP/IP. To understand the macroscopic network behavior that results from TCP/IP and similar end-to-end protocols, one main analytic technique is to show that the the protocol maximizes some global objective function of the network traffic. Here we analyze a particular end-to-end, MIMD (multiplicative-increase, multiplicative-decrease) protocol. We show that if all users of the network use the protocol, and all connections last for at least logarithmically many rounds, then the total weighted throughput (value of all packets received) is near the maximum possible. Our analysis includes round-trip-times, and (in contrast to most previous analyses) gives explicit convergence rates, allows connections to start and stop, and allows capacities to change.

description: We investigated the association between severity of angina pectoris (AP) and subsequent late-life frailty among men with cardiovascular disease (CVD). A subset of 351 men (mean age at baseline 56.7 ± 6.5 years) who previously participated in the Bezafibrate Infarction Prevention, BIP trial (1990–1997) underwent a neurovascular evaluation as part of the BIP Neurocognitive study 15.0 ± 3.0 years after baseline (T1) and a frailty evaluation according to Fried 19.9 ± 1.0 years after baseline (T2). Severity of AP was assessed at baseline of the BIP trial using the Canadian Cardiovascular Society angina classification. We assessed the odds of being in the advanced rank of frailty status (robust, pre-frail, and frail) using ordered logistic regression. Among 351 participants, 134 (38.2%) were classified as pre-frail and 100 (28.5%) as frail. Frailty was found among 42% participants in the AP class ≥2 and among 26% participants in the AP class <2. Adjusting for demographic, health-related and cognitive variables, odds ratio (OR), and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) for advanced rank of frailty was 2.68 (95% CI: 1.29–5.59) comparing AP class ≥2 to AP class <2. Among men with CVD, severity of AP should be taken into risk consideration due to its strong association with late-life frailty, particularly among inactive participants and participants with cerebral microvascular damage.

description: We present the methodology and performance of the new Lagrangian hydrodynamics code MAGMA2, a Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics code that benefits from a number of non-standard enhancements. By default it uses high-order smoothing kernels and wherever gradients are needed, they are calculated via accurate matrix inversion techniques, but a more conventional formulation with kernel gradients has also been implemented for comparison purposes. We also explore a matrix inversion formulation of SPH with a symmetrisation in the particle indices that is not frequently used. We find interesting advantages of this formulation in some of the tests, for example, a substantial reduction of surface tension effects for non-ideal particle setups and more accurate peak densities in Sedov blast waves. MAGMA2 uses artificial viscosity, but enhanced by techniques that are commonly used in finite volume schemes such as reconstruction and slope limiting. While simple to implement, this approach efficiently suppresses particle noise, but at the same time drastically reduces dissipation in locations where it is not needed and actually unwanted. We demonstrate the performance of the new code in a number of challenging benchmark tests including e.g. multi-dimensional vorticity creating Schulz-Rinne-type Riemann problems and more astrophysical tests such as a collision between two stars to demonstrate its robustness and excellent conservation properties.

description: The well known light filaments are obtained in various media whose index of refraction increases before a saturation with the electric field; adding a small perturbation which increases the index with the magnetic field, and neglecting the absorption, a filament curves and closes into a torus. This transformation of a (2+1)D soliton into a (3+0)D soliton shows the existence of those solitons, while a complete study, with a larger magnetic effect, would require numerical computations, the starting point being, possibly, the perturbed, curved filament. The flux of energy in the regular filaments is nearly a ''critical flux'', depending slightly on the external fields, so that the energy of the (3+0)D soliton is quantified, but may be slightly changed by external interactions. The nearly linear part of the soliton, an evanescent wave, is partly transmitted by Young holes, making transmitted and reflected interference patterns, thus index variations which guide the remainder of the soliton, just as de Broglie's pilot waves. The creation of electron positron pairs in the vacuum by purely electromagnetic fields shows a nonlinearity of vacuum at high energies; supposing this nonlinearity convenient, elementary particles may be (3+0)D solitons or light bullets, so that it may be a connection with the superstrings theory.

Most definitions of "sustainability" currently in use provide little guide for policy while some would in fact work against the process of development if they were to be operationalized. The difficulties in promoting "sustainable development" in the context of a growing economy where there is a large segment of the population living in absolute poverty are illustrated with the case of the Brazilian Amazon.

description: We study the effect of a uniform magnetic field $\vec B$ on the decays $π^-\to l^-\,\barν_l$, where $l^-\,=e^-,\,μ^-$, carrying out a general analysis that includes four $π^-$ decay constants. Taking the values of these constants from a chiral effective Nambu-Jona--Lasinio (NJL) model, it is seen that the total decay rate gets strongly increased with respect to the $B=0$ case, with an enhancement factor ranging from $\sim 10$ for $eB=0.1\,\mathrm{GeV}^2$ up to $\sim 10^3$ for $eB=1\,\mathrm{GeV}^2$. The ratio between electronic and muonic decays gets also enhanced, reaching a value of about $1:2$ for $eB=1\,\mathrm{GeV}^2$. In addition, we find that for large $B$ the angular distribution of outgoing antineutrinos shows a significant suppression in the direction of the magnetic field.

description: This paper documents an investigation into the microstructures and melt pool geometry features of Ti6Al4V + (0, 1, 2, 5, 10, wt%) B alloys processed by selective laser melting (SLM). Single laser-deposited tracks were made on powder-free surface of arc-melted Ti6Al4V-xB buttons. The applicability of powder-free results was supported by evaluation of Ti6Al4V melt pool geometry deposited with and without powder. For each Ti6Al4V-xB composition, melt pools were produced over wide ranges of laser beam power (P) and scan speed (V), with melt pool geometry and microstructure information gathered into mapping in P-V space to develop P-V process window. By varying wt% B and P-V parameter, a variety of microstructures were produced. A promising microstructure consisted of a TiB network with submicron spacing. Melt pool microhardness was characterized, showing evident enhancement from arc-melted baseline for all Ti6Al4V-xB composition. This work identified Ti6Al4V-xB with 2–5 wt% B as a promising composition range for SLM processing and showed the powder-free methodology can provide melt pool scale information for trial alloy composition evaluation.

description: Lowered thiol (-SH) groups and glutathione (GSH) metabolism may be associated with prostate cancer (PCa) and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). The objectives of this study were to systematically review and meta-analyze the associations among -SH groups, GSH, GSH peroxidase (GPx), GSH reductase (GR), and GSH transferase (GST) and PCa/BPH. Four electronic databases were searched for studies that reported -SH and GSH variables in PCa/BPH and healthy controls (HC) and the data were meta-analyzed by calculating Hedges’s g with 95% confidence intervals. Twenty studies were included in this meta-analysis. Total -SH (g = −1.750, −2.341/−1.159), GPx (g = −0.789, −1.234/−0.344), GSH (g = −2.219, −4.132/−0.305), and the combination of -SH, GPx, and GSH (g = −1.271, −1.271/−0.800) were significantly lower in PCa patients than in HC. -SH (g = −1.752, −3.123/−0.381) and the combination of -SH, GPx, and GSH (g = −0.813, −1.298/−0.327) were significantly lower in BPH patients than in HC. GPx was significantly lower in PCa than in BPH patients (g = −0.455, −0.896/−0.014). Heterogeneity levels were very high, but Egger’s test showed that none of the biomarkers showed significant publication bias. Thiol/GPx antioxidant defenses are significantly attenuated in patients with PCa while patients with BPH occupy an intermediate risk group position between PCa patients and HC.

description: The modification and tailoring the characteristics of nanostructured materials are of great interest due to controllable and unusual inherent properties in such materials. A simple spray pyrolysis technique is used to prepare pure and La-doped ZnO films. The influence of La concentration (0, 0.33, 0.45, 0.66, 0.92 and 1.04 at. %) on the structural, optical, and magnetic properties of ZnO was investigated. The exact nominal compositions of the prepared films were determined from the field emission scanning electron microscope occupied with EDX. X-ray diffraction confirmed that the samples possessed single-phase hexagonal wurtzite structure. The main crystal size was decreased from 315.50 Å to 229.04 Å depending on La dopant concentration. This decrease is due to the small ionic radius of Zn ions in compared to La ions. The band gap values were found to be depend strongly on La3+ ion content. Introducing La into ZnO induces a clear magnetic moment without any distortion in the geometrical symmetry, it also reveals the ferromagnetic coupling. The saturation magnetic moment of 1.04 at% La-doped ZnO shows the highest value of 0.014 emu, which is ~23 times higher than pure ZnO sample. The obtained results were discussed and compared with other literature data and showed an acceptable agreement.

description: Purpose: Although language sample analysis is widely recommended for assessing children’s expressive language, few school-based speech-language pathologists routinely use it, citing a lack of time, resources, and training (Pavelko, Owens, Ireland, & Hahs-Vaughn, 2016). The purpose of this clinical tutorial is (a) to describe options for language sample analysis using computer programs and (b) to demonstrate a process of using language sample analysis focused on the assessment of 2 preschool children as case studies.Method: We provide an overview of collecting and analyzing child language samples and describe 3 programs for language sample analysis: 2 dedicated software programs (Computerized Language Analysis [MacWhinney, 2000] and Systematic Analysis of Language Transcripts [Miller & Iglesias, 2015]) and 1 protocol for using word processing software to analyze language samples (Sampling Utterances and Grammatical Analysis Revised; Pavelko & Owens, 2017). We also present analysis results from each program for play-based language samples from 2 preschool children and detailed analysis of the samples with potential treatment goals.Results: Each program offers different analyses, comparison databases, and sampling contexts. We present options for additional analysis, clinical interpretations, and potential treatment goals based on the 2 preschool cases.Conclusion: Clinicians can use computer programs for language sample analysis as part of a process to make naturalistic language assessment more feasible.

description: Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is a neurologic dis- order that typically presents with orthostatic headaches due to low cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure and/or CSF leakage, usu- ally accompanied by neck pain, tinnitus, disturbed hearing, photophobia and/or nausea. SIH symptoms disappear after cor- rec tion of CSF pres sure. Di ag no sis of spon ta ne ous intracra nial hypotension, de spite ex ten sive in ves ti ga ti on, re mains a sig nif i - cant challenge in daily clinical practice due to heterogeneous pre- sentation. It is estimated that the number of undiagnosed cases may be as high as 94%. Underdiagnosis and incorrect treatment of SIH negatively impact patients’ quality of life and cause nega- tive economic and social consequences. This article summarises recent data about SIH and presents a clinical case.

description: A scheme of laser wakefield acceleration, when a relatively rare and long bunch of non-relativistic or weakly-relativistic electrons is initially in front of the laser pulse, is suggested and considered. The motion of test electrons is studied both in the one-dimensional case (1D wakefield) and in the three-dimensional laser wakefield excited in a plasma channel. It is shown that the bunch is trapped, effectively compressed both in longitudinal and transverse directions and accelerated to ultra-relativistic energies in the region of first accelerating maximum of the wakefield. The accelerated bunch has sizes much less than the plasma wavelength and relatively small energy spread.

description: Aradus betulae (Linnaeus 1758)
(Photo 1)
 Material examined: 1♀ with following labels attached: Inner Mongolia / Hulunbaier, Genhe // 24 V 1983 / Guoxue Zhang lg. // Aradus / betulae (Linnaeus) / det. E. Heiss 2009 (CAU). The specimen is damaged and lacks the antennal segments III+IV at left, II–IV at right and left fore- and middle legs.
 Hsiao 1964 and Liu 1981a reported A. betulae from NE China. However, the photos of Liu 1981a (table 32: 323 ♂ and 326 ♀) showed,that this species is not betulae sensu Linnaeus and following authors. Vásárhelyi 1988 recognised the difference and described this taxon upon specimens from Tianjin as Aradus chinensis. Heiss 2007a discovered that chinensis shares all essential characters, e.g., habitus, structure of antennae, and male genitalia with hieroglyphicus Sahlberg 1878, which is widespread from the Russian Far East to Korea and Japan, and synonymised chinensis with the latter. A. hieroglyphicus is already reported from China (NE, NW) by Hsiao 1964 and Liu 1981a (as turkestanicus, see Heiss 2001b) and later confirmed from Sichuan by Heiss 2007a.
 This female represents the first confirmed record of betulae from China.
 Single females of betulae may be confounded with A. herculeanus Kiritshenko 1913, which was described from Primorsk Territory of Russian and the Far East of neighbouring NE China. Females of both taxa share a particular character, the posteriorly expanded and prolonged abdomen. However A. herculeanus is generally of larger size, its paranota are more rounded and not angularly expanded laterally (see Kanyukova 1984), its antennae are relatively longer (ratio length of antennae / width of head = 2.5 / 1.9 – 2.0 in betulae), and its antennal segment II is about 1.2 x as long as the width of the head (1.0 in betulae). It can be expected that herculeanus will also be recorded from the northeastern provinces of China.

description: The gravitational wave observations of colliding black holes have opened a new window into the unexplored extreme gravity sector of physics, where the gravitational fields are immensely strong, non-linear, and dynamical. 10 binary black hole merger events observed so far can be used to test Einstein's theory of general relativity, which has otherwise been proven to agree with observations from several sources in the weak- or static-field regimes. One interesting future possibility is to detect gravitational waves from GW150914-like stellar-mass black hole binaries with both ground-based and space-based detectors. We here demonstrate the power of testing extreme gravity with such multi-band gravitational-wave observations. In particular, we consider two theory-agnostic methods to test gravity using gravitational waves. The first test is the parameterized test where we introduce generic non-Einsteinian corrections to the waveform, which can easily be mapped to parameters in known example theories beyond general relativity. The second test is the inspiral-merger-ringdown consistency test where one derives the mass and spin of a merger remnant from the inspiral and merger-ringdown independently assuming general relativity is correct, and then check their consistency. In both cases, we use Fisher analyses and compare the results with Bayesian ones wherever possible. Regarding the first test, we find that multi-band observations can be crucial in probing certain modified theories of gravity, including those with gravitational parity violation. Regarding the second test, we show that future single-band detections can improve upon the current tests by roughly three orders of magnitude, and further 7-10 times improvement may be realized with multi-band observations.

description: Authentication is a well-studied area of classical cryptography: a sender S and a receiver R sharing a classical private key want to exchange a classical message with the guarantee that the message has not been modified by any third party with control of the communication line. In this paper we define and investigate the authentication of messages composed of quantum states. Assuming S and R have access to an insecure quantum channel and share a private, classical random key, we provide a non-interactive scheme that enables S both to encrypt and to authenticate (with unconditional security) an m qubit message by encoding it into m+s qubits, where the failure probability decreases exponentially in the security parameter s. The classical private key is 2m+O(s) bits. To achieve this, we give a highly efficient protocol for testing the purity of shared EPR pairs. We also show that any scheme to authenticate quantum messages must also encrypt them. (In contrast, one can authenticate a classical message while leaving it publicly readable.) This has two important consequences: On one hand, it allows us to give a lower bound of 2m key bits for authenticating m qubits, which makes our protocol asymptotically optimal. On the other hand, we use it to show that digitally signing quantum states is impossible, even with only computational security.
