Kinetics of information scrambling in correlated metals: Disorder-driven transition from shock wave to Fisher or Kolmogorov-Petrovsky-Piskunov dynamics

Camille Didier Georges Aron

Quenched disorder slows down the scrambling of quantum information. Using a bottom-up approach, we formulate a kinetic theory of scrambling in a correlated metal near a superconducting transition, following the scrambling dynamics as the impurity scatterin ...

The Impact of Changes in Resolution on the Persistent Homology of Images

Adélie Eliane Garin

Digital images enable quantitative analysis of material properties at micro and macro length scales, but choosing an appropriate resolution when acquiring the image is challenging. A high resolution means longer image acquisition and larger data requiremen ...

A methodology to design measurement systems when multiple model classes are plausible

Ian Smith, Numa Joy Bertola, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

The management of existing civil infrastructure is challenging due to evolving functional requirements, aging and climate change. Civil infrastructure often has hidden reserve capacity because of conservative approaches used in design and during constructi ...

Development of a monolithic near-field optomechanical system

Ryan Daniel Schilling

In the same year as Einstein's annus mirabilis, English engineer and physicist John Flemming patented the first rectifying diode, which he called the "Flemming valve". Einstein's work on the photoelectric effect would change our understanding of the nature ...

Social Interaction and the City: The Effect of Space on the Reduction of Entropy

João Vitor Meirelles de Miranda

How can individual acts amount to coherent systems of interaction? In this paper, we attempt to answer this key question by suggesting that there is a place for cities in the way we coordinate seemingly chaotic decisions. We look into the elementary proces ...

Wave Pipelining for Majority-based Beyond-CMOS Technologies

Giovanni De Micheli, Mathias Soeken, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Eleonora Testa, Luca Gaetano Amarù, Odysseas Zografos

The performance of some emerging nanotechnolo- gies benefits from wave pipelining. The design of such circuits re- quires new models and algorithms. Thus we show how Majority- Inverter Graphs (MIG) can be used for this purpose and we extend the related opt ...
