Variational Monte Carlo Optimization of Topological Chiral Superconductors
We perform the variational Monte Carlo calculation for recently proposed chiral superconducting states driven by strong Coulomb interactions. We compare the resulting energetics of these electronic phases for the electron dispersion relation $E_k = c_2 k^2+c_4 k^4$. Motivated by the recent discovery of chiral superconductivity in rhombohedral graphene systems, we apply our analysis to relevant parameter regimes. We demonstrate that topological chiral superconducting phases (including a spin-unp…

Papanicolaou Stain Unmixing for RGB Image Using Weighted Nucleus Sparsity and Total Variation Regularization
The Papanicolaou stain, consisting of eosin Y, hematoxylin, light Green SF yellowish, orange G, and Bismarck brown Y, provides extensive color information essential for cervical cancer screening in cytopathology. However, the visual observation of these colors is subjective and difficult to characterize. In digital image analysis, the RGB intensities are affected by staining and imaging variations, hindering direct quantification of color in Papanicolaou-stained samples. Stain unmixing is a pro…

Latitudinal dependence of heat transport in turbulent geostrophic convection
Latitudinal variations in turbulent heat flux play a key role in the thermal and magnetic evolution of rapidly rotating planets and stars. Although global spherical-shell simulations have documented such variations, explicit latitude-dependent scaling relations for heat transport have remained elusive. Here we employ the rotating Rayleigh-Bénard convection (RRBC) framework with tilted rotation and gravity axes to model convection at different latitudes $φ$ in the geostrophic regime. We derive…

Protocol for Purifying Noisy Preparation and Measurements of Qubits
Noise affecting qubit preparation and measurements accounts for a significant fraction of errors in quantum information processing. This is especially critical in tasks like variational quantum algorithms, quantum error correction, and entanglement distribution through repeaters. In this work, we present a protocol to purify noisy SPAM, effectively suppressing these errors to an arbitrarily low level. For instance, in a realistic scenario where qubits contain error rates around $0.05$ in both p…

"Die Messungen an acht Bäumen im Lausanner Vorort Lancy ergaben, dass der Wasserfluss in den Stämmen auch bei großer Hitze nicht abnahm – im Gegenteil: Mit steigenden Temperaturen erhöhte sich die Verdunstung sogar. "Offensichtlich haben wir noch nicht vollständig verstanden, wie Bäume auf extreme Bedingungen reagieren" "Die tatsächliche kühlende Wirkung von Stadtbäumen während Hitzewellen könnte durch aktuelle Vorhersagen mit gängigen Modellen also erheblich unterschätzt…

Bäume kühlen bei Hitze besser als bisher geglaubt
Offenbar nimmt die Kühlwirkung von Platanen bei hohen Temperaturen langsamer ab als bisher geglaubt. Davon berichtet eine neue Studie

High Pressure Growth of Transition-Metal Monosilicide RhGe Single Crystals
Transition-metal monosilicide RhGe has been reported to exhibit weak itinerant ferromagnetism, superconductivity, and topological properties. In this study, we report the high-pressure growth of high-quality RhGe single crystals up to millimeter size using flux method. Transport measurements reveal the metallic behavior of RhGe between 2-300 K with Fermi liquid behavior at low temperature region. However, no superconductivity was observed with variations in Ge composition. Magnetic characteriza…

TOI-2322: two transiting rocky planets close to the stellar rotation period and its first harmonic
Context. Active regions on the stellar surface can induce quasi-periodic radial velocity (RV) variations that can mimic planets and mask true planetary signals. These spurious signals can be problematic for RV surveys such as those carried out by the ESPRESSO consortium. Aims. Using ESPRESSO and HARPS RVs and activity indicators, we aim to confirm and characterize two candidate transiting planets from TESS orbiting a K4 star with strong activity signals. Methods. From the ESPRESSO FWHM, TES…
