description: The emergence of the H3N2 influenza virus in 1968 marked a significant event as it crossed the species barrier. This shift led to a pandemic, resulting in the deaths of one million people globally and highlighting the virus’s severe impact on older individuals due to antigenic drift. This review comprehensively examines the virological characteristics, evolutionary trends, and global epidemiology of the Influenza A (H3N2) virus. It delves into vaccination strategies, antiviral interventions, and emerging diagnostic approaches. The impact of antigenic variation on vaccine design and effectiveness, seasonal outbreak patterns, and pandemic potential are explored. Additionally, the interplay between viral factors and host immune responses is assessed. Researchers are actively investigating innovative strategies to enhance vaccine efficacy against H3N2 mutations, such as precise antigenic material administration, controlled release patterns, understanding immune system mechanisms, and glycan engineering. The ongoing mutational dynamics of the H3N2 virus necessitate regular vaccine updates, as advocated by the WHO. Research in the Western Pacific region underscores the need for heightened awareness and effective control strategies. Evaluating antiviral therapies and addressing drug resistance requires multidisciplinary approaches involving researchers, healthcare professionals, and policymakers. This comprehensive understanding of H3N2 is vital for improving public health interventions and preparing for future influenza challenges.

description: CaloFlow is a new and promising approach to fast calorimeter simulation based on normalizing flows. Applying CaloFlow to the photon and charged pion Geant4 showers of Dataset 1 of the Fast Calorimeter Simulation Challenge 2022, we show how it can produce high-fidelity samples with a sampling time that is several orders of magnitude faster than Geant4. We demonstrate the fidelity of the samples using calorimeter shower images, histograms of high-level features, and aggregate metrics such as a classifier trained to distinguish CaloFlow from Geant4 samples.

description: Magic, or nonstabilizerness, characterizes how far away a state is from the stabilizer states, making it an important resource in quantum computing, under the formalism of the Gotteman-Knill theorem. In this paper, we study the magic of the $1$-dimensional Random Matrix Product States (RMPSs) using the $L_{1}$-norm measure. We firstly relate the $L_{1}$-norm to the $L_{4}$-norm. We then employ a unitary $4$-design to map the $L_{4}$-norm to a $24$-component statistical physics model. By evaluating partition functions of the model, we obtain a lower bound on the expectation values of the $L_{1}$-norm. This bound grows exponentially with respect to the qudit number $n$, indicating that the $1$D RMPS is highly magical. Our numerical results confirm that the magic grows exponentially in the qubit case.

Particle method and quantization-based schemes for the simulation of the McKean-Vlasov equation

Publisher: name: arXiv
Year: 2022
Subjects: subject: Numerical Analysis (math.NA)

description: In this paper, we study three numerical schemes for the McKean-Vlasov equation \[\begin{cases} \;dX_t=b(t, X_t, μ_t) \, dt+σ(t, X_t, μ_t) \, dB_t,\: \\ \;\forall\, t\in[0,T],\;μ_t \text{ is the probability distribution of }X_t, \end{cases}\] where $X_0$ is a known random variable. Under the assumption on the Lipschitz continuity of the coefficients $b$ and $σ$, our first result proves the convergence rate of the particle method with respect to the Wasserstein distance, which extends a previous work [BT97] established in one-dimensional setting. In the second part, we present and analyse two quantization-based schemes, including the recursive quantization scheme (deterministic scheme) in the Vlasov setting, and the hybrid particle-quantization scheme (random scheme, inspired by the $K$-means clustering). Two examples are simulated at the end of this paper: Burger's equation and the network of FitzHugh-Nagumo neurons in dimension 3.

Distinguishing cosmological models through quantum signatures of primordial perturbations

description: We study the evolution of various measures of quantumness of the curvature perturbation by integrating out the inaccessible entropic fluctuations in the multi-field models of inflation. In particular, we discuss the following measures of quantumness, namely purity, entanglement entropy and quantum discord. The models being considered in this work are ones that produce large scale curvature power spectra similar to those produced by single-field models of inflation. More specifically, we consider different multi-field models which generate nearly scale invariant and oscillatory curvature power spectrum and compare their quantum signatures in the perturbations with the corresponding single-field models. We find that, even though different models of inflation may produce the same observable power spectrum on large scales, they have distinct quantum signatures arising from the perturbation modes. This may allow for a way to distinguish between different models of inflation based on their quantum signatures. Intriguingly, this result generalizes to bouncing scenarios as well.

description: Generalized eigenvalue problems (GEPs) play an important role in the variety of fields including engineering, machine learning and quantum chemistry. Especially, many problems in these fields can be reduced to finding the minimum or maximum eigenvalue of GEPs. One of the key problems to handle GEPs is that the memory usage and computational complexity explode as the size of the system of interest grows. This paper aims at extending sequential quantum optimizers for GEPs. Sequential quantum optimizers are a family of algorithms that iteratively solve the analytical optimization of single-qubit gates in a coordinate descent manner. The contribution of this paper is as follows. First, we formulate the GEP as the minimization/maximization problem of the fractional form of the expectations of two Hermitians. We then showed that the fractional objective function can be analytically minimized or maximized with respect to a single-qubit gate by solving a GEP of a 4 $\times$ 4 matrix. Second, we show that a system of linear equations (SLE) characterized by a positive-definite Hermitian can be formulated as a GEP and thus be attacked using the proposed method. Finally, we demonstrate two applications to important engineering problems formulated with the finite element method. Through the demonstration, we have the following bonus finding; a problem having a real-valued solution can be solved more effectively using quantum gates generating a complex-valued state vector, which demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Final 581 bp partial COI and 443 bp partial 16S sequences were obtained after removing ambiguous aligned sites and successfully used in reconstructing a Maximum Likelihood (ML) tree from 16S (8 specimens) and COI (7 specimens), respectively (Fig. 43). In the 16S ML tree, species of Asteronyx were divided into two subclades (Sub-Clades 01 and 02). Sub-Clade 01 consists of A. loveni (Japan, East China Sea and South China Sea) and A. longifissus Döderlein, 1927 (California). Sub-Clade 02 consists of A. reticulata (East China Sea and Japan) and A. luzonicus (South China Sea) (Fig. 43A). Similar results were found in the COI ML tree (Fig. 43B). Genetic distance values are provided in Suppl. file 1 and Suppl. file 2. Two samples of A. reticulata from Japan and the East China Sea had identical sequences and three samples of A. loveni from Japan, the East China Sea and the South China Sea also showed no sequence variation (Suppl. file 1).

description: Electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy (EPR) is one of the most powerful and versatile tools for investigating the local structure and dynamics of paramagnetic substances. In this work, dipolar spectroscopy (PDS) and hyper fine spectroscopy (HFS) are used to investigate the binding and coordination of metal ions such as gadolinium (Gd(III)) and copper (Cu(II)) to de novo coiled-coil (Cc) peptides to characterise their local environment, and probe the nature of the binding site. This work highlights the versatility of designer miniature protein frameworks, which give access to unique and functional binding sites. This flexibility is seen through investigations of the miniature protein Cc MB1-2, presenting the characterisation of a novel oxophilic Cu(II) binding site, within a protein scaffold and a series of Cc's based on modi cation of this binding site. Mutation and translation of this site shows how the EPR parameters of the Cu(II) ion can be tuned depending on the nature of the available amino acids. High-spin EPR spin labels such as Gd(III) are of interest owing to their stability within cellular environments. However, PDS measurements using Gd(III) are known to be inaccurate at short distances (<4 nm) when excitation of the central transition (CT) often leads to unwanted excitation of flip-flop transitions causing spectral distortions. New PDS techniques are detailed that can provide high-sensitivity, artefact free data in high-spin systems by avoiding the CT at W-band. RIDME measurements show when measuring short-distances, RIDME is preferred over DEER and provides higher quality data. Amplitude and phase modulated chirp pulses are also compared against standard rectangular pulses in a variety of PDS experiments. Finally, translation of a double Gd(III) binding Cc with known distances, shows promise as a ruler system for PDS measurements, moving away from purely synthetic model rulers whose flexibility do not mirror those of native biological systems.
