Network Alignment With Holistic Embeddings

Quoc Viet Hung Nguyen, Thành Tâm Nguyên, Chi Thang Duong, Thanh Trung Huynh

Network alignment is the task of identifying topologically and semantically similar nodes across (two) different networks. It plays an important role in various applications ranging from social network analysis to bioinformatic network interactions. Howeve ...

Ultra long turbulent eddies, magnetic topology, and the triggering of internal transport barriers in tokamaks

Stephan Brunner, Justin Richard Ball, Arnas Volcokas

Local nonlinear gyrokinetic simulations of tokamak plasmas demonstrate that turbulent eddies can extend along magnetic field lines for hundreds of poloidal turns when the magnetic shear is very small. By accurately modeling different field line topologies ...

How accurate are flux-tube (local) gyrokinetic codes in modeling energetic particle effects on core turbulence?

Olivier Sauter, Alberto Bottino

Flux-tube (local) gyrokinetic codes are widely used to simulate drift-wave turbulence in magnetic confinement devices. While a large number of studies show that flux-tube codes provide an excellent approximation for turbulent transport in medium-large devi ...

Impact of the turbulence wavenumber spectrum and probing beam geometry on Doppler reflectometry perpendicular velocity measurements

Frank Nüesch

The perpendicular propagation velocity of turbulent density fluctuations is an important parameter in fusion plasmas, since sheared plasma flows are crucial for reducing turbulence, and thus an essential input parameter for turbulent transport simulations. ...

Locked mode detection during error field identification studies

Olivier Sauter

At the beginning of a machine operation, an assessment of the intrinsic error fields, spurious magnetic field perturbations which can affect plasma dynamics, is often carried out by executing the compass scan method [Scoville J.T. et al. Nucl. Fusion 43 25 ...

Electron temperature fluctuation measurements with Correlation Electron Cyclotron Emission in L-mode and I-mode plasmas at ASDEX Upgrade

Pedro Andres Molina Cabrera

The Correlation Electron Cyclotron Emission (CECE) diagnostic at ASDEX Upgrade (AUG) is used to investigate the features of outer core and pedestal (rho(pol) = 0.85-1.0) turbulence across confinement regime transitions. The I-mode confinement regime is a p ...

Investigation of the interplay between Electron-Cyclotron waves, suprathermal electrons and turbulence in tokamak plasmas

Jean Arthur Cazabonne

Electron-Cyclotron waves are routinely used in tokamaks to heat the plasma and to drive current through the electron channel. Their unique ability to drive very localized current renders them the main foreseen tool for neoclassical tearing mode mitigation ...

The role of isotope mass and transport for H-mode access in tritium containing plasmas at JET with ITER-like wall

Henri Weisen, Javier García Hernández, Marco Wischmeier, Nicola Vianello, Mikhail Maslov, Haomin Sun

The required heating power, P-LH, to access the high confinement regime (H-mode) in tritium containing plasmas is investigated in JET with ITER-like wall at a toroidal magnetic field of B-t = 1.8 T and a plasma current of I-p = 1.7 MA. PLH, also referred t ...

Critical Schrodinger Cat Qubit

Vincenzo Savona, Fabrizio Minganti, Luca Gravina

Encoding quantum information onto bosonic systems is a promising route to quantum error correc-tion. In a cat code, this encoding relies on the confinement of the dynamics of the system onto the two-dimensional manifold spanned by Schrodinger cats of oppos ...
