AZ, IL, ME and NC will now offer COVID vaccine without prescriptions (check with pharmacy because this might take a few days or weeks to be implemented).

I have my vaccine scheduled for next week. Will be annoying if I come back from UK with COVID (pretty sure it will be high in DK too).

DenisCOVIDinfoguy@aus.social - 🇬🇧 UK: England is now experiencing a significant Covid wave, after 10 months of relative quiet
"I’m sure most people now know someone in bed with Covid. If someone says they are in bed with flu, it’s almost certainly Covid, given that the number of people admitted to hospital for Covid last week was 50 times higher than the number admitted for flu!"

Localizing the Ising CFT from the ground state of the Ising model on the fuzzy sphere
We locate the phase-transition line for the Ising model on the fuzzy sphere from a finite-size scaling analysis of its ground-state energy. This is similar to what was used to locate the complex CFT of the 5-state Potts model in dimension $d=2$ [PRL 133 (2024) 077101]. There it was shown that a CFT is characterized by a stationarity condition for the measured effective central charge. Our strategy is to write the ground-state energy as $E_{\rm GS}(N)/N_m = E_{0} + E_1 /N_m + E_{3/2}/N_m^{3/2}+ …

Parametric Drive of a Double Quantum Dot in a Cavity
We demonstrate the parametric modulation of a double quantum dot charge dipole coupled to a cavity, at the cavity frequency, achieving an amplified readout signal compared to conventional dispersive protocols. Our findings show that the observed cavity field displacement originates from dipole radiation within the cavity, rather than from a longitudinal coupling mechanism, yet exhibits the same signatures while relying on a transverse coupling. By carefully tuning the phase and amplitude of the…
