Homological Localisation of Model Categories

David Barnes, Constanze Roitzheim

One of the most useful methods for studying the stable homotopy category is localising at some spectrum E. For an arbitrary stable model category we introduce a candidate for the E…

Selectable linear or quadratic coupling in an optomechanical system

André Xuereb, Mauro Paternostro

There has been much interest recently in the analysis of optomechanical systems incorporating dielectric nano- or microspheres inside a cavity field. We analyse here the situation…

Confidence Statements for Ordering Quantiles

Carlos A. de B. Pereira, Cassio P. de Campos, Adriano Polpo

This work proposes Quor, a simple yet effective nonparametric method to compare independent samples with respect to corresponding quantiles of their populations. The method is sole…

The morphology of the ejecta in Supernova 1987A: a study over time and wavelength

Josefin Larsson, Claes Fransson, Karina Kjaer +9

We present a study of the morphology of the ejecta in Supernova 1987A based on images and spectra from the HST as well as integral field spectroscopy from VLT/SINFONI. The HST obse…

A no-go result on the purification of quantum states

C. Di Franco, M. Paternostro

The information encoded in a quantum system is generally spoiled by the influences of its environment, leading to a transition from pure to mixed states. Reducing the mixedness of…

Phase-space behavior and conditional dynamics of an optomechanical system

S. Groeblacher, S. Gigan, M. Paternostro

We characterize the local properties of an optomechanical system comprising the movable mirror of a resonator and its intracavity field, mutually coupled via radiation-pressure. Ou…

WASP-77 Ab: A transiting hot Jupiter planet in a wide binary system

P. F. L. Maxted, D. R. Anderson, A. Collier Cameron +16

We report the discovery of a transiting planet with an orbital period of 1.36d orbiting the brighter component of the visual binary star BD -07 436. The host star, WASP-77A, is a m…

Testing genuine multipartite nonlocality in phase space

Seung-Woo Lee, Mauro Paternostro, Jinhyoung Lee +1

We demonstrate genuine three-mode nonlocality based on phase space formalism. A Svetlichny-type Bell inequality is formulated in terms of the -parameterized quasiprobability fun…

Period and period change measurements for 143 SuperWASP eclipsing binary candidates near the short-period limit and discovery of a doubly eclipsing quadruple system

M. E. Lohr, A. J. Norton, U. C. Kolb +3

Building on previous work, a new search of the SuperWASP archive was carried out to identify eclipsing binary systems near the short-period limit. 143 candidate objects were detect…
