The climate crisis demands innovative solutions and quantum technologies are considered by some a potential solution (Berger et al., 2021; Calvin et al., 2023).

Preowned vehicles are disproportionally purchased by low-income households, a group that has long been unable to purchase electric vehicles. Yet, low-income households would disproportionally benefit from EV adoption given the operating costs savings offered by electrification. To help realize this benefit, provisions of the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act offer preowned EV purchasing incentives. How effective might these efforts be.

$q$-Congruences for Z.-W. Sun's generalized polynomials $w^{(α)}_k(x)$
In 2022, Z.-W. Sun defined \begin{equation*} w_k^{(α)}{(x)}=\sum_{j=1}^{k}w(k,j)^αx^{j-1}, \end{equation*} where $k,α$ are positive integers and $w(k,j)=\frac{1}{j}\binom{k-1}{j-1}\binom{k+j}{j-1}$. Let $(x)_{0}=1$ and $(x)_{n}=x(x+1)\cdots(x+n-1)$ for all $n\geq 1$. In this paper, it is proved by $q$-congruences that for any positive integers ${α,β, m,n,r}$, we have \begin{equation*} \frac{(2,n)}{n(n+1)(n+2)}\sum_{k=1}^{n}k^r(k+1)^r(2k+1)w_{k}^{(α)}(x)^{m}\in\mathbb{Z}[x], \end{equation*…

Installation and performance of the 3rd Veto plane at the SND@LHC detector
During 2022/2023 the optimal inefficiency of the Veto system of the SND@LHC detector was measured to be $(7.8\pm2.8)\times10^{-8}$. To reduce this inefficiency, a third Veto plane was installed during the 2023-2024 Year End Technical Stop. In addition, the Veto system was lowered to cover the target fully, thereby increasing acceptance. This paper describes how the inefficiency of the Veto system was reduced from $7.8\times10^{-8}$ with an acceptance of about $64\%$ of the target area in 2022-2…

Large maximal subgroups of almost simple classical groups
A proper subgroup $H$ in a finite group $G$ is said to be large if $|H|^3\geq |G|$. In this paper, we determined all large maximal subgroups of almost simple classical groups. Combined with the work of Alavi and Burness (J. Algebra 421 (2015) 187--233) and Alavi, Bayat, and Daneshkhah (J. Algebraic Combin. 55 (2022) 729--779), this completes the classification of all large maximal subgroups of almost simple groups.
