Recently, a purely quantum version of polar codes has been proposed in [1] based on a quantum channel combining and splitting procedure, where a randomly chosen two-qubit Clifford unitary acts as channel combining operation. Here, we…
At high densities fluids of strongly dipolar spherical particles exhibit spontaneous long-ranged orientational order. Typically, due to demagnetization effects induced by the long range of the dipolar interactions, the magnetization…
We provide a one-to-one map between the spin correlations and certain three-dimensional shapes, analogous to the map between single spins and Bloch vectors, and demonstrate its utility. Much as one can reason geometrically about dynamics…
We present a simple geometric construction linking geometric to deformation quantization. Both theories depend on some apparently arbitrary parameters, most importantly a polarization and a symplectic connection, and for real polarizations…
The space of topological decompositions into triangulations of a surface has a natural graph structure where two triangulations share an edge if they are related by a so-called flip. This space is a sort of combinatorial Teichm\"uller space…
We investigate system-environment correlations based on the exact dynamics of a qubit and its environment in the framework of pure decoherence (phase damping). We focus on the relation of decoherence and the build-up of system-reservoir…
We investigate the influence of nearby two-level systems on the dynamics of a qubit. The intrinsic decoherence is given by a coupling of both the qubit and the two-level systems to a heat bath. Assuming weak interactions between the qubit…
In this paper, we study analytic self-maps of the unit disk for which the hyperbolic diameters of the images of hyperbolic balls of radius 1 are uniformly bounded below. We give several characterizations of such maps involving the behaviour…
We find formulas for the birational maps from a Kummer surface K and its dual K^* to their common minimal desingularization S. We show how the nodes of K blow up. Then we give a description of the group of linear automorphisms of S.
We present a generalization to 3-qubits of the standard Bloch sphere representation for a single qubit and of the 7-dimensional sphere representation for 2 qubits presented in Mosseri {\it et al.}\cite{Mosseri2001}. The Hilbert space of the…
Deformations in piezoelectric materials lead to conduction effects, which are due to two contributions: the relative displacements of the ionic cores, and the so-called orbital polarization. This work is devoted to the rigorous derivation…
Inversion- and depletion-regions generally form at the interfaces between doped leads (cladding layers) and the active region of polar heterostructures like AlN/GaN and other nitride compounds. The band bending in the depletion region sets…
Let $P$ be a set of $n$ points in general position on the plane. A set of closed convex polygons with vertices in $P$, and with pairwise disjoint interiors is called a convex decomposition of $P$ if their union is the convex hull of $P$,…
Reverse osmosis and nanofiltration are membrane-based methods that remove solutes from solvent, for instance they remove salts from water (desalination). In these methods, an applied pressure is the driving force for solvent to pass the…
Compton scattering of Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) photons on galaxy cluster electrons produces a linear polarization, which contains some information on the local quadrupole at the cluster location. We use N-body simulations to…
The full sky cosmic microwave background polarization field can be decomposed into 'electric' (E) and 'magnetic' (B) components that are signatures of distinct physical processes. We give a general construction that achieves separation of E…
We develop a nonperturbative approach to the bulk polarization of crystalline electric insulators in $d\geq1$ dimensions. Formally, we define polarization via the response to background fluxes of both charge and lattice translation…
This paper investigates universal polar coding schemes. In particular, a notion of ordering (called convolutional path) is introduced between probability distributions to determine when a polar compression (or communication) scheme designed…
Using numerical simulations, we examine a simple model of two or more coupled one-dimensional channels of driven particles with repulsive interactions in the presence of quenched disorder. We find that this model exhibits a remarkably rich…
We examine the use of domain decomposition for potentially more efficient mean curvature flow of surface meshes, whose faces are arbitrary simple polygons. We first test traditional domain decomposition methods with and without overlap of…
