Quantum Protocols for ML, Physics, and Finance

In this thesis, we give new protocols that offer a quantum advantage for problems in ML, Physics, and Finance. Quantum mechanics gives predictions that are inconsistent with local realism. The experiment proving this fact (Bell, 1964) gives a quantum proto ...

Breakdown development in a nanosecond pulsed dielectric barrier discharge in humid air in plane-to-plane geometry

Ivo Furno, Xin Yang, Lorenzo Ibba

We used the ns electric field induced second harmonic (EFISH) generation diagnostic to measure the electric field evolution in a 200 ns pulse, dielectric barrier, plane-to-plane discharge in humid air, on the time scale shorter than the laser pulse duratio ...

Predictors and predictands of linear response in spatially extended systems

Umberto Maria Tomasini

The goal of response theory, in each of its many statistical mechanical formulations, is to predict the perturbed response of a system from the knowledge of the unperturbed state and of the applied perturbation. A new recent angle on the problem focuses on ...

Bell Diagonal and Werner State Generation: Entanglement, Non-Locality, Steering and Discord on the IBM Quantum Computer

Nicolas Macris, Su Yeon Chang, Marc-André Dupertuis, Chun Lam Chan, Samuel Bosch, Nicolas Schwaller, Frédéric Gessler

We propose the first correct special-purpose quantum circuits for preparation of Bell diagonal states (BDS), and implement them on the IBM Quantum computer, characterizing and testing complex aspects of their quantum correlations in the full parameter spac ...

Nonlocal Effects Reflect the Jamming Criticality in Frictionless Granular Flows Down Inclines

Matthieu Wyart, Hugo Robin Louis Perrin

The jamming transition is accompanied by a rich phenomenology such as hysteresis or nonlocal effects that is still not well understood. Here, we experimentally investigate a model frictionless granular layer flowing down an inclined plane as a way to disen ...

Non-classical photon-phonon correlations at room temperature

Santiago Tarrago Velez

With the development of quantum optics, photon correlations acquired a prominent role as a tool to test our understanding of physics, and played a key role in verifying the validity of quantum mechanics. The spatial and temporal correlations in a light fie ...

Advantageous nearsightedness of many-body perturbation theory contrasted with Kohn-Sham density functional theory

Christoph Leopold Talirz

For properties of interacting electron systems, Kohn-Sham (KS) theory is often favored over many-body perturbation theory (MBPT), owing to its low computational cost. However, the exact KS potential can be challenging to approximate, for example in the pre ...

Local Theory of the Insulating State

Antimo Marrazzo

An insulator differs from a metal because of a different organization of the electrons in their ground state. In recent years this feature has been probed by means of a geometrical property, the quantum metric tensor, which addresses the system as a whole, ...

Simulating Local Buckling-Induced Softening in Steel Members Using an Equivalent Nonlocal Material Model in Displacement-Based Fiber Elements

Dimitrios Lignos

Fiber-based elements are commonly used to simulate steel beam-columns because of their ability to capture P-M interactions and spread of plasticity. However, when mechanisms such as local buckling result in effective softening at the fiber scale, conventio ...

A kernel compression scheme for fractional differential equations

Jan Sickmann Hesthaven, Daniel Henri Baffet

The nonlocal nature of the fractional integral makes the numerical treatment of fractional dierential equations expensive in terms of computational eort and memory requirements. In this paper we propose a method to reduce these costs while controlling the ...

Nonlocal electromagnetic response of graphene nanostructures

Julien Perruisseau-Carrier, Michele Tamagnone

Nonlocal electromagnetic effects of graphene arise from its naturally dispersive dielectric response. We present semianalytical solutions of nonlocal Maxwell's equations for graphene nanoribbon arrays with features around 100 nm, where we found prominent d ...

Theoretical and experimental analysis of subwavelength bowtie-shaped antennas

Hatice Altug, Dordaneh Etezadi, Arif Engin Cetin, Serap Aksu

Recently, bowtie-shaped apertures have received significant attention due to their extraordinary ability to generate dramatic field enhancement and light confinement in nanometer scale. In this article, we investigate both experimentally and theoretically ...

Spatial Locality Speculation to Reduce Energy in Chip-Multiprocessor Networks-on-Chip

Boris Robert Grot

As processor chips become increasingly parallel, an efficient communication substrate is critical for meeting performance and energy targets. In this work, we target the root cause of network energy consumption through techniques that reduce link and route ...

Quantum entanglement in nanocavity arrays

Vincenzo Savona, Timothy Chi Hin Liew

We show theoretically how quantum interference between linearly coupled modes with weak local nonlinearity allows the generation of continuous variable entanglement. By solving the quantum master equation for the density matrix, we show how the entanglemen ...

Experienced Travel Time Prediction for Freeway Systems

Nikolaos Geroliminis, Mehmet Yildirimoglu

Travel time is considered as one of the most important performance measures for roadway systems, and dissemination of travel time information can help travelers to make reliable travel decisions such as route choice or time departure. Since the traffic dat ...

Experimental observation of an enhanced anisotropic magnetoresistance in non-local configuration

We compare non-local magnetoresistance measurements in multi-terminal Ni nanostructures with corresponding local experiments. In both configurations, the measured voltages show the characteristic features of anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR). However, th ...

Berry-phase theory of polar discontinuities at oxide-oxide interfaces

Massimiliano Stengel

In the framework of the modern theory of polarization, we rigorously establish the microscopic nature of the electric displacement field D. In particular, we show that the longitudinal component of D is preserved at a coherent and insulating interface. To ...
