Decay-protected superconducting qubit with fast control enabled by integrated on-chip filters
Subharmonic control of superconducting qubits simultaneously facilitates fast single-qubit gates, long coherence times, and reduced thermal load. However, its implementation requires a very strong coupling of the drive line to the qubit or an excessively strong microwave signal. To address this challenge, we introduce on-chip filters of the qubit drive that exhibit a stopband at the resonance frequency and ultra-strong coupling at the subharmonic frequency. The on-chip filters are designed to d…

On the Wormhole--Warp Drive Correspondence
We propose a correspondence between the Morris--Thorne wormhole metric and a warp drive metric, which generalizes an earlier result by H. Ellis regarding the Schwarzschild black hole metric and makes it possible to embed a warp drive in a wormhole background. We demonstrate that in order to do that, one needs to also generalize the Natario--Alcubierre definition of warp drive and introduce nonzero intrinsic curvature. However, we also find out that in order to be traversable by a warp drive, th…

Sizes of active galactic nuclei inhomogeneous disks -- large in microlensing, small in reverberation mapping
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) turbulence can drive significant temperature fluctuations in the accretion disk of an active galactic nucleus (AGN). As a result, the disk can be highly inhomogeneous and has a half-light radius larger than the static Shakura \& Sunyaev Disk (SSD), in agreement with quasar microlensing observations. Meanwhile, the accretion-disk sizes can also be determined using continuum reverberation mappings which measure interband cross correlations and time lags. The interband t…

A form of personal transportation, like a Tesla, but produced with simple bio-engineering out of proteic polymers rather than metal and plastic. Normally for a single passenger, but could carry two in a pinch, and some modest amount of goods. Totally green-powered, and could be recharged even in transit. Superb off-road agility and can drive through 3-foot-deep water. Drive-by wire and voice activation. Available in several colors.

Also, that drive home was the craziest traffic I've ever been in, ever, ever. What should have been a 3hr drive, was nearly 9, and that's only because we diverted from the computer suggested routes (which were awful) and found back roads to skip the traffic nearly all the way home. There is, at this moment, midnight, *still* traffic on 24S into Nashville. #SolarEclipse

In the context of nanomechanics, the analogy in the dissipation free case has already been tested in multiple experimental …

Sizes of active galactic nuclei inhomogeneous disks -- large in microlensing, small in reverberation mapping
Magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) turbulence can drive significant temperature fluctuations in the accretion disk of an active galactic nucleus (AGN). As a result, the disk can be highly inhomogeneous and has a half-light radius larger than the static Shakura \& Sunyaev Disk (SSD), in agreement with quasar microlensing observations. Meanwhile, the accretion-disk sizes can also be determined using continuum reverberation mappings which measure interband cross correlations and time lags. The interband t…

Fluctuating parametric drive of coupled classical oscillators can simulate dissipative qubits
We investigate a system composed of two coupled oscillators subject to stochastic fluctuations in its internal parameters. In particular, we answer the question whether the well-known classical analogy of the quantum dynamics of two-level systems (TLS), i.e. qubits, provided by two coupled oscillators can be extended to simulate the dynamics of dissipative quantum systems. In the context of nanomechanics, the analogy in the dissipation free case has already been tested in multiple experimental …

Uncertainty-Aware Transient Stability-Constrained Preventive Redispatch: A Distributional Reinforcement Learning Approach
Transient stability-constrained preventive redispatch plays a crucial role in ensuring power system security and stability. Since redispatch strategies need to simultaneously satisfy complex transient constraints and the economic need, model-based formulation and optimization become extremely challenging. In addition, the increasing uncertainty and variability introduced by renewable sources start to drive the system stability consideration from deterministic to probabilistic, which further exa…

Bubble breakup probability in turbulent flows
Bubbles drive gas and chemical transfers in various industrial and geophysical context, in which flows are typically turbulent. A knowledge of the bubble size distributions is then necessary to quantify mass fluxes across interfaces. In a turbulent flow, every bubble might break, depending on both the ratio between inertial and capillary forces at its scale, namely the Weber number We. For inhomogeneous and unstationary flows, the residence time within a turbulent region will also determine the…

This morning @… forgot her phone so I went back in the house to get it, and when I brought it out the Bluetooth connected and the Skeletonwitch she had been listening to yesterday on the drive home started blasting out of the car. Yep. That's my wife 🤣

I’m at the imaging lab. Traffic was light, so I’m early. There was so much great music playing during the drive, & it sure did ease my anxiety. Ian Hunter, T. Rex, Patti Smith, Foo Fighters, a-ha, Todd Rundgren, Cigarettes After Sex, Bruno Mars, Krokus, Queen, Killers, Garth Brooks, & my fave Judas Priest song ever, The Hellion/Electric Eye. #ThankYouSiriusXM

Three-flavor, Full Momentum Space Neutrino Spin Oscillations in Neutron Star Mergers
In the presence of anisotropic neutrino and antineutrino fluxes, the quantum kinetic equations drive coherent oscillations in neutrino helicity, frequently referred to as spin oscillations. These oscillations depend directly on the absolute mass scale and Majorana phase, but are usually too transient to produce important effects. In this paper we present a full momentum-space analysis of Majorana neutrino spin oscillations in a snapshot of a three-dimensional neutron star merger simulation. We …

Non-Hermitian Anharmonicity Induces Single-Photon Emission
Single-photon sources are in high demand for quantum information applications. A paradigmatic way to achieve single-photon emission is through anharmonicity in the energy levels, such that the absorption of a single photon from a coherent drive shifts the system out of resonance and prevents absorption of a second one. We identify a novel mechanism for single-photon emission through non-Hermitian anharmonicity, i.e., anharmonicity in the losses instead of in the energy levels. We demonstrate th…
