Study outlines steps for California to reach net-zero emissions by 2045
A 2022 California law mandates net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2045 and negative emissions every year thereafter. The state can achieve this but will have to act quickly and thoroughly, and success will require new technologies for sectors difficult to decarbonize, a new Stanford University study finds. The state will need to decarbonize not only cars and electricity but also trucks, trains, planes, agriculture, and factories, while slashing pollution from its oil refineries.

UN-Mission: Zahl der zivilen Opfer in Ukraine erreicht Dreijahreshoch
Die Zahl der zivilen Opfer des russischen Angriffskriegs gegen die Ukraine hat im Juli laut den UN einen neuen Dreijahreshöchststand erreicht. Mit 286 getöteten und 1.388 verletzten Zivilisten sei die Zahl der Opfer im Juli die höchste seit Mai 2022 gewesen, teilte die UN-Beobachtungsmission in der Ukraine am Mittwoch in Kiew mit.

Arctic Oscillation Modulation of Winter Air-Sea Coupling in the East/Japan Sea: Persistence, Timescales, and Extremes

Arctic Oscillation Modulation of Winter Air-Sea Coupling in the East/Japan Sea: Persistence, Timescales, and Extremes
The winter climate of the East/Japan Sea (EJS) is strongly affected by the Arctic Oscillation (AO), yet how AO polarity reshapes the memory, coupling patterns, and predictability of sea-surface temperature anomalies (SSTA) remains poorly quantified. Using 30 winters (1993--2022) of daily OISST and ERA5 fields, we combine multivariate Maximum Covariance Analysis (MCA) with an Ornstein--Uhlenbeck (OU)-like integration of atmospheric principal components (PCs). The leading coupled mode explains 87…

Improved Clifford operations in constant commutative depth
The commutative depth model allows gates that commute with each other to be performed in parallel. We show how to compute Clifford operations in constant commutative depth more efficiently than was previously known. Bravyi, Maslov, and Nam [Phys. Rev. Lett. 129:230501, 2022] showed that every element of the Clifford group (on $n$ qubits) can be computed in commutative depth 23 and size $O(n^2)$. We show that the Prefix Sum problem can be computed in commutative depth 16 and size $O(n \log n)$, …

On the Maximum Spread of Directed Graphs
Given a directed graph $G$, the spread of $G$ is the largest distance between any two eigenvalues of its adjacency matrix. In 2022, Breen, Riasanovsky, Tait, and Urschel asked what $n$-vertex directed graph maximizes spread, and whether this graph is undirected. We prove the more general result that the spread of any $n \times n$ non-negative matrix $A$ with $\|A\|_{\max} \le 1$ is at most $2n/\sqrt{3}$, which is tight up to an additive factor and exact when $n$ is a multiple of three…

The Supreme Court says it'll take up its latest gun rights case and consider striking down strict regulations on where people can carry firearms in Hawaii.

- 41.3% of Canadian farmland is rented.
- From 1971 to 2021, the farm population declined by 62.2%, from 1 in 14 Canadians to 1 in 61.
- Farm debt has more than doubled in the last 20 years, from $43B in 2002 to $138.8B in 2022. That is currently 10x the size of net farm income.
- In 2021, 96,043 tonnes of pesticides were sold for agricultural use – more than three times the amount sold in 1991.

Projected branes as platforms for crystalline, superconducting, and higher-order topological phases
Projected branes are constituted by only a small subset of sites of a higher-dimensional crystal, otherwise placed on a hyperplane oriented at an irrational or a rational slope therein, for which the effective Hamiltonian is constructed by systematically integrating out the sites of the parent lattice that fall outside such branes [Commun. Phys. 5, 230 (2022)]. Specifically, when such a brane is constructed from a square lattice, it gives rise to an aperiodic Fibonacci quasi-crystal or its rati…

Simulation of the thermoelectric effect in a multi-metallic superconducting cavity
Superconducting radio frequency accelerating cavities made with different material layers, such as copper, Nb or Nb3Sn, are susceptible to thermoelectric effects due to differences in Seebeck coefficients between the metals. A temperature gradient across the surfaces can drive thermoelectric currents, which may impact the cavity performance. A layered Cu/Nb/Nb3Sn single cell cavity was tested with cryocoolers in 2022. Three heaters were mounted on the cavity surface at different locations and t…
