It would be pretty funny if a D-tilted environment
coupled with trying to dilute D votes by gerrymandering them into heavily red districts
resulted in a much bigger blowout than if they hadn’t gerrymandered

Tunable Magnetic Order in Chiral Coupled Spin Chains
We obtain the ground-state phase diagram of two spin chains consisting in a set two-level systems asymmetrically coupled to an XX chain through a chiral interaction. The interaction is parametrized by its magnitude and an angle defined by the relative orientation of the spins in different chains. From the entanglement spectrum, we identify the critical lines separating distinct magnetically ordered phases, with the interaction angle able to shift or fully suppress the transition. By increasing …

High-Gain Voltage-Multiplier Coupled Quadratic Boost Converter: A New Design for Small Scale PV Integration
This paper introduces a single-switch high-gain voltage-multiplier coupled quadratic boost converter (HGVM-QBC), developed from the conventional quadratic boost converter (QBC). The proposed topology is designed to achieve higher voltage gain, lower semiconductor voltage stress, and continuous current operation, making it particularly suitable for small-scale photovoltaic (PV) systems. By incorporating a voltage multiplier cell into the QBC, the converter significantly improves voltage boosting…

From Prompts to Packets: A View from the Network on ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini
Generative AI (GenAI) chatbots are now pervasive in digital ecosystems, yet their network traffic remains largely underexplored. This study presents an in-depth investigation of traffic generated by three leading chatbots (ChatGPT, Copilot, and Gemini) when accessed via Android mobile apps for both text and image generation. Using a dedicated capture architecture, we collect and label two complementary workloads: a 60-hour generic dataset with unconstrained prompts, and a controlled dataset bui…

Optimizing Inter-chip Coupler Link Placement for Modular and Chiplet Quantum Systems
Quantum computing offers unparalleled computational capabilities but faces significant challenges, including limited qubit counts, diverse hardware topologies, and dynamic noise and error rates, which hinder scalability and reliability. Distributed quantum computing, particularly chip-to-chip connections, has emerged as a solution by interconnecting multiple processors to collaboratively execute large circuits. While hardware advancements, such as IBM's Quantum Flamingo, focus on improving inte…
