description: We analyze the general nonclassicality of correlations of a composite quantum systems as measured by the negativity of quantumness. The latter corresponds to the minimum entanglement, as quantified by the negativity, that is created between the system and an apparatus that is performing local measurements on a selection of subsystems. The negativity of quantumness thus quantifies the degree of nonclassicality on the measured subsystems. We demonstrate a number of possible different interpretations for this measure, and for the concept of quantumness of correlations in general. In particular, for general bipartite states in which the measured subsystem is a qubit, the negativity of quantumness acquires a geometric interpretation as the minimum trace distance from the set of classically correlated states. This can be further reinterpreted as minimum disturbance, with respect to trace norm, due to a local measurement or a nontrivial local unitary operation. We calculate the negativity of quantumness in closed form for Werner and isotropic states, and for all two-qubit states for which the reduced state of the system that is locally measured is maximally mixed---this includes all Bell diagonal states. We discuss the operational significance and potential role of the negativity of quantumness in quantum information processing.
description: 19 pages, 1 figure; v2 submitted: includes improvements in the presentation, updated references, and a clear statement and proof (Theorem V.5) of the equivalence between the trace-norm distance from CQ states and the minimum disturbance under projective measurements---again in trace-norm distance---when the system checked for classicality is a qubit

description: Several independent measurements have confirmed the existence of fluctuations ($δF_{\rm obs}\approx 0.1 \rm nW/m^{2}/sr$ at $3.6 \rm μm$) up to degree angular scales in the source-subtracted Near InfraRed Background (NIRB) whose origin is unknown. By combining high resolution cosmological N-body/hydrodynamical simulations with an analytical model, and by matching galaxy Luminosity Functions (LFs) and the constraints on reionization simultaneously, we predict the NIRB absolute flux and fluctuation amplitude produced by high-$z$ ($z > 5$) galaxies (some of which harboring Pop III stars, shown to provide a negligible contribution). This strategy also allows us to make an empirical determination of the evolution of ionizing photon escape fraction: we find $f_{\rm esc} = 1$ at $z \ge 11$, decreasing to $\approx 0.05$ at $z = 5$. In the wavelength range $1.0-4.5 \rm μm$, the predicted cumulative flux is $F =0.2-0.04 \rm nW/m^2/sr$. However, we find that the radiation from high-$z$ galaxies (including those undetected by current surveys) is insufficient to explain the amplitude of the observed fluctuations: at $l=2000$, the fluctuation level due to $z > 5$ galaxies is $δF = 0.01-0.002 \rm nW/m^2/sr$, with a relative wavelength-independent amplitude $δF/F = 4$%. The source of the missing power remains unknown. This might indicate that an unknown component/foreground, with a clustering signal very similar to that of high-$z$ galaxies, dominates the source-subtracted NIRB fluctuation signal.

description: The links in many real networks are evolving with time. The task of dynamic link prediction is to use past connection histories to infer links of the network at a future time. How to effectively learn the temporal and structural pattern of the network dynamics is the key. In this paper, we propose a graph representation learning model based on enhanced structure and temporal information (GRL\_EnSAT). For structural information, we exploit a combination of a graph attention network (GAT) and a self-attention network to capture structural neighborhood. For temporal dynamics, we use a masked self-attention network to capture the dynamics in the link evolution. In this way, GRL\_EnSAT not only learns low-dimensional embedding vectors but also preserves the nonlinear dynamic feature of the evolving network. GRL\_EnSAT is evaluated on four real datasets, in which GRL\_EnSAT outperforms most advanced baselines. Benefiting from the dynamic self-attention mechanism, GRL\_EnSAT yields better performance than approaches based on recursive graph evolution modeling.

description: Fundamental understanding of the light-matter interaction in the context of nano-particles is immensely bene- fited by the study of geometry dependent tunable Localized Surface Plasmon Resonance (LSPR) and has been demonstrated to have potential applications in various areas of science. The polarization characteristics of LSPR in addition to spectroscopic tuning can be suitably exploited in such systems as contrast enhancement mech- anisms and control parameters. Such polarization characteristics like diattenuation and retardance have been studied here using a novel combination of Muller-matrix polarimetry with the T-matrix matrix approach for silver nano-rods to show unprecedented control and sensitivity to local refractive index variations. The study carried out over various aspect ratios for a constant equal volume sphere radius shows the presence of longitu- dinal (dipolar and quadrupolar) and transverse (dipolar) resonances; arising due to differential contribution of polarizabilities in two directions. The overlap regions of these resonances and the resonances themselves exhibit enhanced retardance and diattenuation respectively. The spectral and amplitude tunability of these polarimetric parameters through the aspect ratios to span from the minimum to maximum ([0, 1] in the case of diattenuation and [0, π] in the case of retardance) presents a novel result that could be used to tailor systems for study of biological media. On the other hand, the high sensitivity of diattenuation dip (caused by equal contribution of polarizabilities) could be possibly used for medium characterization and bio-sensing or bio-imaging studies.

description: In today’s age, plastic waste is a major problem for our environment. The decomposition of plastic waste causes widespread contamination in all types of ecosystems worldwide. Micro-plastics in the lower micrometer size range and especially nano-plastics can become internalized by cells and thus become a threat to human health. To investigate the effects of internalized micro- and nano-plastics on human gene transcription, we used an in vitro assay to quantify CREB (cAMP response element binding protein) mediated transcription. Here we show that CREB mediated gene expression was mainly but not exclusively induced by phosphorylation. In addition, the amount of CREB affected transcription was also studied. We were also able to show that the strong CREB mediated stimulation of transcription was diminished by micro- and nano-plastics in any chosen setting. This indicates a threat to human health via the deregulation of transcription induced by internalized micro- and nano-plastics. However, this established quantifiable in vitro transcription test system could help to screen for toxic substances and non-toxic alternatives.

description: (Abridged) Estimating the uncertainty on the matter power spectrum internally (i.e. directly from the data) is made challenging by the simple fact that galaxy surveys offer at most a few independent samples. In addition, surveys have non-trivial geometries, which make the interpretation of the observations even trickier, but the uncertainty can nevertheless be worked out within the Gaussian approximation. With the recent realization that Gaussian treatments of the power spectrum lead to biased error bars about the dilation of the baryonic acoustic oscillation scale, efforts are being directed towards developing non-Gaussian analyses, mainly from N-body simulations so far. Unfortunately, there is currently no way to tell how the non-Gaussian features observed in the simulations compare to those of the real Universe, and it is generally hard to tell at what level of accuracy the N-body simulations can model complicated non-linear effects such as mode coupling and galaxy bias. We propose in this paper a novel method that aims at measuring non-Gaussian error bars on the matter power spectrum directly from galaxy survey data. We utilize known symmetries of the 4-point function, Wiener filtering and principal component analysis to estimate the full covariance matrix from only four independent fields with minimal prior assumptions. With the noise filtering techniques and only four fields, we are able to recover the Fisher information obtained from a large N=200 sample to within 20 per cent, for k < 1.0 h/Mpc. Finally, we provide a prescription to extract a noise-filtered, non-Gaussian, covariance matrix from a handful of fields in the presence of a survey selection function.

description: A thermal lattice Boltzmann model is constructed on the basis of the ellipsoidal statistical Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (ES-BGK) collision operator via the Hermite moment representation. The resulting lattice ES-BGK model uses a single distribution function and features an adjustable Prandtl number. Numerical simulations show that using a moderate discrete velocity set, this model can accurately recover steady and transient solutions of the ES-BGK equation in the slip-flow and early transition regimes in the small Mach number limit that is typical of microscale problems of practical interest. In the transition regime in particular, comparisons with numerical solutions of the ES-BGK model, direct Monte Carlo and low-variance deviational Monte Carlo simulations show good accuracy for values of the Knudsen number up to approximately 0.5. On the other hand, highly non-equilibrium phenomena characterized by high Mach numbers, such as viscous heating and force-driven Poiseuille flow for large values of the driving force, are more difficult to capture quantitatively in the transition regime using discretizations chosen with computational efficiency in mind such as the one used here, although improved accuracy is observed as the number of discrete velocities is increased.

description: Two-dimensional (2D) semiconductors have attracted considerable interest for their unique physical properties. Here, we report the intrinsic cryogenic electronic transport properties in few-layer MoSe$_2$ field-effect transistors (FETs) that are simultaneously van der Waals contacted with gold electrodes and are fully encapsulated in ultraclean hexagonal boron nitride dielectrics. The FETs exhibit electronically favorable channel/dielectric interfaces with low densities of interfacial traps ($10^{10}\,$cm$^{-2}$), which lead to outstanding device characteristics at room temperature, including a near-Boltzmann-limit subthreshold swings ($\lt65\,$mV/dec), a high carrier mobility ($68\,$cm$^{2}\cdot$V$^{-1}\cdot$s$^{-1}$), and a negligible scanning hysteresis ($\lt15\,$mV). The dependence of various contact-related quantities on temperature and carrier density are also systematically characterized to understand the van der Waals contacts between gold and MoSe$_2$. The results provide insightful information on the device physics in van der Waals contacted and encapsulated 2D FETs.

description: In order to construct interconnected three-dimensional ion transport structures within anion exchange membranes (AEMs), we proposed the idea of preparing AEMs by filling the aerogel three-dimensional network skeleton by in-situ polymerization. First, quaternized branched polyethyleneimine (QBPEI) with a large number of quaternary ammonium groups was cross-linked with cellulose to construct an aerogel with a three-dimensional network. Then, poly(4-vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVBC) was filled into the aerogel network through in-situ polymerization. Finally, dense AEMs with internal three-dimensional ion transport networks were prepared by hot pressing PVBC/QBPEI@cellulose. The prepared AEMs have low ion exchange capacity (IEC) values and high ionic conductivities, with the membrane with the best overall performance (IEC value of 1.58 meq./g) having a maximum hydroxide conductivity of 38.88 mS/cm at 80 °C. In addition, the optimized membrane has good chemical and dimensional stability, and the maximum power density of the fuel cell assembled based on it is 46.32 mW/cm2. Although the performance of the prepared composite membranes needs to be further improved due to the preparation process, the design idea in this work provides a feasible solution for the construction of continuous ion fast transport channels in AEMs.

description: Hypochlorite anion has been widely used as a bleaching and disinfecting agent in daily life. Selective and sensitive identification ofOCl-ions from water is very important for researchers. For this purpose, monomeric (NPh), and polymeric (PNPh-Peg) novel fluorescent sensors have been established for the specific and excellently unique sensors that exhibit selective characteristics like excellent resistance to bleaching and a high fluorescence brightness. A multi-functional random polymer (PNPh-Peg) with ICT (intramolecular charge transfer) active para–amino phenol functionality and reactive oxygen species (ROS) responsive, PEG attached are readily prepared via ROMP (ring-opening metathesis polymerization).: An ICT-active random polymer (PNPh-Peg) exhibited an unexpectedly strong cyan blue emission in a water medium compared to that in other common organic solvents, which was dramatically increased by adding a trace amount of NaOCl.: Incorporating PEG moiety in the polymeric backbone increases the water solubility of a copolymer, and the ROS-responsive groups make the polymer a good ROS scavenger. Upon oxidation of the phenol group into carbonyl, both the monomeric (NPh) and polymeric (Norp-PEG oh) sensors showed a selective, noticeable, unusual fluorescence turn-on response towardsanalyteOCl-ions with a very fast response (within three minutes). The detection limit (59.14 nM) and (126.93 nM) were calculated for monomeric and polymeric sensors, respectively. This was a selective, specific oxidation reaction of the completely water-soluble random polymeric sensor (PNPh-Peg) for hypochlorite anions and can be applicable for quantitative measurement of aqueous OCl-. This ICT-active random polymeric molecule (PNPh-Peg) can also be used as a fluorescent sensor for unique OCl- detection from contaminated water by preparing a sensor-coated paper strip. Thus, these multi-functional monomeric (NPh) and polymeric (PNPh-Peg) sensors are anticipated to apply to the environment.

description: We present a test of the emission statistics of active galactic nuclei (AGN), probing the connection between red-noise temporal power spectra and multi-modal flux distributions known from observations. We simulate AGN lightcurves under the assumption of uniform stochastic emission processes for different power-law indices of their power spectra. For sufficiently shallow slopes (power-law indices beta < 1), the flux distributions (histograms) of the resulting lightcurves are approximately Gaussian. For indices corresponding to steeper slopes (beta > 1), the flux distributions become multi-modal. This finding disagrees systematically with results of recent mm/radio observations. Accordingly, we conclude that the emission from AGN does not necessarily originate from uniform stochastic processes even if their power spectra suggest this. Possible mechanisms are transitions between different activity states and/or the presence of multiple, spatially disconnected, emission regions.

description: Planetary and magnetohydrodynamic drift-wave turbulence is observed to self-organize into large scale structures such as zonal jets and coherent vortices. In this Letter we present a non-equilibrium statistical theory, the Stochastic Structural Stability theory (SSST), that can make predictions for the formation and finite amplitude equilibration of non-zonal and zonal structures (lattice and stripe patterns) in homogeneous turbulence. This theory reveals that the emergence of large scale structure is the result of an instability of the interaction between the coherent flow and the associated turbulent field. Comparison of the theory with nonlinear simulations of a barotropic flow in a beta-plane channel with turbulence sustained by isotropic random stirring, demonstrates that SSST predicts the threshold parameters at which the coherent structures emerge as well as the characteristics of the emerging structures (scale, amplitude, phase speed). It is shown that non-zonal structures (lattice states or zonons) emerge at lower energy input rates of the stirring compared to zonal flows (stripe states) and their emergence affects the dynamics of jet formation.

description: Previous research has found that people choose to reappraise low intensity images more often than high intensity images. However, this research does not account for image ambivalence, which is presence of both positive and negative cues in a stimulus. The purpose of this research was to determine differences in ambivalence in high intensity and low intensity images used in previous research (experiments 1–2), and if ambivalence played a role in emotion regulation choice in addition to intensity (experiments 3–4). Experiments 1 and 2 found that the low intensity images were more ambivalent than the high intensity images. Experiment 2 further found a positive relationship between ambivalence of an image and reappraisal affordances. Experiments 3 and 4 found that people chose to reappraise ambivalent images more often than non-ambivalent images, and they also chose to reappraise low intensity images more often than high intensity images. These experiments support the idea that ambivalence is a factor in emotion regulation choice. Future research should consider the impact ambivalent stimuli have on emotion regulation, including the potential for leveraging ambivalent stimuli to improve one’s emotion regulation ability.

description: After a careful analysis of the instrumental effects on the Poisson noise to demonstrate the feasibility of detailed stochastic variability studies with the Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT), we analyze the variability of the black hole X-ray binary SWIFT J1753.5-0127 in all XRT observations during 2005-2010. We present the evolution of the power spectral components along the outburst in two energy bands: soft (0.5-2 keV) and hard (2-10 keV), and in the hard band find results consistent with those from the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE). The advantage of the XRT is that we can also explore the soft band not covered by RXTE. The source has previously been suggested to host an accretion disk extending down to close to the black hole in the low hard state, and to show low frequency variability in the soft band intrinsic to this disk. Our results are consistent with this, with at low intensities stronger low-frequency variability in the soft than in the hard band. From our analysis we are able to present the first measurements of the soft band variability in the peak of the outburst and find it to be less variable than the hard band, especially at high frequencies, opposite to what is seen at low intensity. Both results can be explained within the framework of a simple two emission-region model where the hot flow is more variable in the peak of the outburst and the disk is more variable at low intensities.

description: Reflecting on stressors from a detached perspective – a strategy known as distancing – can facilitate emotional recovery. Researchers have theorised that distancing works by enabling reappraisals of negative events, yet few studies have investigated specifically how distancing impacts stressor appraisals. In this experiment, we investigated how participants’ (N = 355) emotional experience and appraisals of an interpersonal conflict differed depending on whether they wrote event-reflections from a linguistically immersed (first-person) or distanced (second/third-person) perspective. Partly replicating previous findings, distanced reflection predicted increases in positive affect, but not reductions in negative affect, relative to immersed reflection. Linguistic distancing also predicted increases in motivational congruence appraisals (i.e. perceived advantageousness of the event), but did not influence other appraisal dimensions. We discuss how linguistic distancing may facilitate emotional recovery by illuminating the benefits of stressful experiences, enabling people to “see the good in the bad”.

description: This paper starts by an investigation of nonlinear transmission in space-division multiplexed (SDM) systems using multimode fibers exhibiting a rapidly varying birefringence. A primary objective is to generalize the Manakov equations, well known in the case of single-mode fibers. We first investigate a reference case where linear coupling among the spatial modes of the fiber is weak and after averaging over birefringence fluctuations, we obtain new Manakov equations for multimode fibers. Such an averaging reduces the number of intermodal nonlinear terms drastically since all four-wave-mixing terms average out. Cross-phase modulation terms still affect multimode transmission but their effectiveness is reduced. We then verify the accuracy of our new Manakov equations by transmitting multiple PDM-QPSK signals over different modes of a multimode fiber and comparing the numerical results with those obtained by solving the full stochastic equation. The agreement is excellent in all cases studied. A great benefit of the new equations is to reduce the computation time by a factor of 10 or more. Another important feature observed is that birefringence fluctuations improve system performance by reducing the impact of fiber nonlinearities. Finally multimode fibers with strong random coupling among all spatial modes are considered. Linear coupling is modeled using the random matrix theory approach. We derive new Manakov equations for multimode fibers in that regime and show that such fibers can perform better than single-modes fiber for large number of propagating spatial modes.

description: We prove that some subquotient categories of exact categories are abelian. This generalizes a result by Koenig-Zhu in the case of (algebraic) triangulated categories. As a particular case, if an exact category B with enough projectives and injectives has a cluster tilting subcategory M, then B/M is abelian. More precisely, it is equivalent to the category of finitely presented modules over the stable category of M.

description: Immersiveness is the main characteristic of Virtual Reality(VR) applications. Precise integration between hardware design and software are necessary for providing a seamless virtual experience. Allowing the user to navigate the VR scene using locomotion techniques is crucial for making such experiences `immersive'. Locomotion in VR acts as a motion tracking unit for the user and simulates their movement in the virtual scene. These movements are commonly rotational, axial or translational based on the Degree-of-Freedom (DOF) of the application. To support effective locomotion, one of the primary challenges for VR practitioners is to transform their hardware from 3-DOF to 6-DOF or vice versa. We conducted a systematic review on different motion tracking methods employed in the Head-Mounted-Devices (HMD) to understand such hardware transformation. Our review discusses the fundamental aspects of the hardware-based transformation of HMDs to conduct virtual locomotion. Our observations led us to formulate a taxonomy of the tracking methods based on system design, which can eventually be used for the hardware transformation of HMDs. Our study also captures different metrics that VR practitioners use to evaluate the hardware based on the context, performance, and significance of its usage.

description: In this article it is shown analytically that the charge spectrum generated by ionizing particles in Resistive Plate Chambers under Townsend avalanche conditions, that is, for sufficiently small avalanches not affected by space-charge and considering single-electron ionization clusters follows closely the statistical gamma distribution. This distribution describes well comparable simulation data taken from the literature, but seems to describe as well experimental data measured beyond these assumptions, rising some interpretation issues.

description: We apply a fundamental definition of time delay, as the difference between the time a particle spends within a finite region of a potential and the time a free particle spends in the same region, to determine results for photoionization of an electron by an extreme ultraviolet (XUV) laser field using numerical simulations on a grid. Our numerical results are in good agreement with those of the Wigner-Smith time delay, obtained as the derivative of the phase shift of the scattering wave packet with respect to its energy, for the short-range Yukawa potential. In case of the Coulomb potential we obtain time delays for any finite region, while - as expected - the results do not converge as the size of the region increases towards infinity. The impact of an ultrashort near-infrared probe pulse on the time delay is analyzed for both the Yukawa as well as the Coulomb potential and is found to be small for intensities below $10^{13}$ W/cm$^2$.

description: A theory is proposed that views emotional feelings as pivotal for action control. Feelings of emotions are valued interoceptive signals from the body that become multimodally integrated with perceptual contents from registered and mentally simulated events. During the simulation of a perceptual change from one event to the next, a conative feeling signal is created that codes for the wanting of a specific perceptual change. A wanted perceptual change is weighted more strongly than alternatives, increasing its activation level on the cognitive level and that of associated motor structures that produced this perceptual change in the past. As a consequence, a tendency for action is generated that is directed at the production of the wanted perception.
Quantum simulation via filtered Hamiltonian engineering: application to perfect quantum transport in spin networks

description: We propose a method for Hamiltonian engineering in quantum information processing architectures that requires no local control, but only relies on collective qubit rotations and field gradients. The technique achieves a spatial modulation of the coupling strengths via a dynamical construction of a weighting function combined with a Bragg grating. As an example, we demonstrate how to generate the ideal Hamiltonian for perfect quantum information transport between two separated nodes of a large spin network. We engineer a spin chain with optimal couplings from a large spin network, such as naturally occurring in crystals, while decoupling all unwanted interactions. For realistic experimental parameters, our method can be used to drive perfect quantum information transport at room-temperature. The Hamiltonian engineering method can be made more robust under coherence and coupling disorder by a novel apodization scheme. Thus the method is quite general and can be used engineer the Hamiltonian of many complex spin lattices with different topologies and interactions.

description: We present a very sensitive and scalable method to measure the population of highly excited Rydberg states in a thermal vapor cell of rubidium atoms. We detect the Rydberg ionization current in a 5 mm electrically contacted cell. The measured current is found to be in excellent agreement with a theory for the Rydberg population based on a master equation for the three level problem including an ionization channel and the full Doppler distributions at the corresponding temperatures. The signal-to-noise ratio of the current detection is substantially better than purely optical techniques.

description: When looking at mass shooting incidents, suicidal shooters seem to carry an even more extreme sense of terror and brutality. The current study aimed to examine how mass shooters suicidality and suicide behavioral threshold influence the severity of the mass shooting. We employed Bayesian Mindsponge Framework (BMF) analytics on a dataset of 194 mass shooters (incidents with four or more victims killed) from 1966 to 2023 in the United States (U.S.). The data were retrieved from The Violence Project Database, originally supported by the National Institute of Justice, U.S. Department of Justice. Based on the statistical analysis, we discovered that mass shooters with suicidal ideation were more likely to kill two more victims on average than their non-suicidal counterparts. For suicidal mass shooters found dead on the scene (either by self-killing or suicide by cop), their victim count rises by around four on average when compared to non-suicidal mass shooters. The findings were reasoned through the information-processing perspective of the Mindsponge Theory. Based on the findings and reasoning, we suggest that mass shootings should be considered within larger socio-cultural settings instead of attributing it to be driven primarily by diagnosable psychopathology. Also, promoting an appropriate interpretation of the values of life and death can be an effective way to alleviate the effects of suicidality on mass shooting severity.

description: Recently a duality between a family of \mathcal{N}=2 supersymmetric higher spin theories on AdS3, and the 't Hooft like limit of a class of Kazama-Suzuki models (that are parametrised by N and k) was proposed. The higher spin theories can be described by a Chern-Simons theory based on the infinite-dimensional Lie algebra shs[μ], and under the duality, μis to be identified with λ=N/(N+k+1). Here we elucidate the structure of the (quantum) asymptotic symmetry algebra sW_{\infty}[μ] for arbitrary μand central charge c. In particular, we show that for each value of the central charge, there are generically four different values of μthat describe the same sW_{\infty} algebra. Among other things this proves that the quantum symmetries on both sides of the duality agree; this equivalence does not just hold in the 't Hooft limit, but even at finite N and k.
