Expressivity of Quantum Reservoir Computers

Nils-Erik Schütte, Niclas Götting, Hauke Müntinga +3

Using Hamiltonian encoding to inject an input into parameterized quantum circuits (PQCs), the output of the PQC can be written as truncated Fourier series. In recent years, the exp…

Space test of the Equivalence Principle: first results of the MICROSCOPE mission

Pierre Touboul, Gilles Métris, Manuel Rodrigues +31

The Weak Equivalence Principle (WEP), stating that two bodies of different compositions and/or mass fall at the same rate in a gravitational field (universality of free fall), is a…

The local dark sector. Probing gravitation's low-acceleration frontier and dark matter in the Solar System neighborhood

Joel Bergé, Laura Baudis, Philippe Brax +18

We speculate on the development and availability of new innovative propulsion techniques in the 2040s, that will allow us to fly a spacecraft outside the Solar System (at 150 AU an…
