Bell inequality violation in the presence of vacancies and incomplete measurements

Kaila C. S. Hall, Daniel K. L. Oi

The characterization of a quantum system can be complicated by non-ideal measurement processes. In many systems, the underlying physical measurement is only sensitive to a single f…

Replica Symmetry Breaking in Cold Atoms and Spin Glasses

Pietro Rotondo, Enrico Tesio, Sergio Caracciolo

We consider a system composed by N atoms trapped within a multimode cavity, whose theoretical description is captured by a disordered multimode Dicke model. We show that in the res…

Entanglement and quantum correlations in many-body systems: a unified approach via local unitary operations

M. Cianciaruso, S. M. Giampaolo, W. Roga +3

Local unitary operations allow for a unifying approach to the quantification of quantum correlations among the constituents of a bipartite quantum system. For pure states, the dist…

A directed search for gravitational waves from Scorpius X-1 with initial LIGO

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +891

We present results of a search for continuously-emitted gravitational radiation, directed at the brightest low-mass X-ray binary, Scorpius X-1. Our semi-coherent analysis covers 10…

Qubit entanglement on a silicon photonic chip

Joshua W. Silverstone, Raffaele Santagati, Damien Bonneau +4

Entanglement--one of the most delicate phenomena in nature--is an essential resource for quantum information applications. Large entangled cluster states have been predicted to ena…

Channel Steering

Marco Piani

We introduce and study the notion of steerability for channels. This generalizes the notion of steerability of bipartite quantum states. We discuss a key conceptual difference betw…

An adaptive spatio-temporal smoothing model for estimating trends and step changes in disease risk

Alastair Rushworth, Duncan Lee, Christophe Sarran

Statistical models used to estimate the spatio-temporal pattern in disease risk from areal unit data represent the risk surface for each time period with known covariates and a set…

An elastic plate on a thin viscous film

Philippe H. Trinh, Stephen K. Wilson, Howard A. Stone

We consider the steady-state analysis of a pinned elastic plate lying on the free surface of a thin viscous fluid, forced by the motion of a bottom substrate moving at constant spe…

Reducing ion energy spread in hole-boring radiation pressure acceleration by using two-ion-species targets

S. M. Weng, M. Murakami, Z. M. Sheng

The generation of fast ion beams in the hole-boring radiation pressure acceleration by intense laser pulses has been studied for targets with different ion components. We find that…
