Variational quantum time evolution without the quantum geometric tensor

Giuseppe Carleo, Riccardo Rossi, Julien Sebastian Gacon, Jannes Willy E. Nys, Stefan Woerner

Realand imaginary -time quantum state evolutions are crucial in physics and chemistry for exploring quantum dynamics, preparing ground states, and computing thermodynamic observables. On near -term devices, variational quantum time evolution is a promising ...

Stability of a liquid layer draining around a horizontal cylinder: Interplay of capillary and gravity forces

François Gallaire, Shahab Eghbali, Simeon Vladimirov Djambov

We study the drainage of a viscous liquid film coating the outside of a solid horizontal cylinder, where gravity acts vertically. We focus on the limit of large Ohnesorge numbers Oh, where inertia is negligible compared to viscous effects. We first study t ...

WikiArtVectors: Style and Color Representations of Artworks for Cultural Analysis via Information Theoretic Measures

Bhargav Srinivasa Desikan

With the increase in massive digitized datasets of cultural artefacts, social and cultural scientists have an unprecedented opportunity for the discovery and expansion of cultural theory. The WikiArt dataset is one such example, with over 250,000 high qual ...

Development of C-C and C-O bond cleavage catalysts for the depolymerization of plastics

Wei-Tse Lee

Chemical recycling of plastics provides more flexibility for materials circulation than landfill disposal or incineration. Intensive research efforts have been devoted to maximizing the efficiency of chemical recycling through catalyst development. The fro ...

Exploiting Marginal Stability in Slow-Fast Quasilinear Dynamical Systems

Alessia Ferraro

The accurate investigation of many geophysical phenomena via direct numerical simulations is computationally not possible nowadays due to the huge range of spatial and temporal scales to be resolved. Therefore advances in this field rely on the development ...

Multi-layer State Evolution Under Random Convolutional Design

Florent Gérard Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová

Signal recovery under generative neural network priors has emerged as a promising direction in statistical inference and computational imaging. Theoretical analysis of reconstruction algorithms under generative priors is, however, challenging. For generati ...

Arnoldi-Lindblad time evolution: Faster-than-the-clock algorithm for the spectrum of time-independent and Floquet open quantum systems

Fabrizio Minganti

The characterization of open quantum systems is a central and recurring problem for the development of quantum technologies. For time-independent systems, an (often unique) steady state describes the average physics once all the transient processes have fa ...

Stabilization of cultural innovations depends on population density: Testing an epidemiological model of cultural evolution against a global dataset of rock art sites and climate-based estimates of ancient population densities

John Richard Walker, Taylor Howard Newton, Francesco Casalegno

Demographic models of human cultural evolution have high explanatory potential but weak empirical support. Here we use a global dataset of rock art sites and climate and genetics-based estimates of ancient population densities to test a new model based on ...

A Third Way Alternative; Critical Assessments from the Model of the Yugoslav City

Jana Konstantinova

This dissertation aims to demonstrate the development, meaning and significance of cultural infrastructure in the cities of Skopje, Belgrade and Sarajevo (1945-1991). In the historic context, culture became the fundamental critical tool with which to yield ...

Generation of chiral asymmetry via helical magnetic fields

Ruth Durrer, Jennifer Waltraud Schober

It is well known that helical magnetic fields undergo a so-called inverse cascade by which their correlation length grows due to the conservation of magnetic helicity in classical ideal magnetohydro-dynamics (MHD). At high energies above approximately 10 M ...
