Variational quantum time evolution without the quantum geometric tensor

Giuseppe Carleo, Jannes Willy E. Nys, Riccardo Rossi, Julien Sebastian Gacon

Realand imaginary -time quantum state evolutions are crucial in physics and chemistry for exploring quantum dynamics, preparing ground states, and computing thermodynamic observables. On near -term devices, variational quantum time evolution is a promising ...

Quantum Field Theory in AdS Space instead of Lehmann-Symanzik-Zimmerman Axioms

Xiang Zhao

The boundary correlation functions for a quantum field theory (QFT) in a fixed anti-de Sitter (AdS) background should reduce to S-matrix elements in the flat-space limit. We consider this procedure in detail for four-point functions. With minimal assumptio ...

Spin wave spectra of single crystal CoPS3

Henrik Moodysson Rønnow, Luc Testa

The spin waves in single crystals of the layered van der Waals antiferromagnet CoPS3 have been measured using inelastic neutron scattering. The data show four distinct spin wave branches with large (>14 meV) energy gaps at the Brillouin zone center indicat ...

Modeling the mechanics and rheology of porous and granular media: an elastoplastic continuum approach

Lars Kristoffer Uhlen Blatny

The complex mechanics of porous and granular media play a significant role in various industrial processes and natural phenomena. As an example, understanding the mechanics of how failure occurs, localizes and propagates in porous brittle solids under vari ...

Matrix product states with backflow correlations

Giuseppe Carleo

By taking inspiration from the backflow transformation for correlated systems, we introduce a tensor network Ansatz which extends the well-established matrix product state representation of a quantum many-body wave function. This structure provides enough ...

Simultaneous Perturbation Stochastic Approximation of the Quantum Fisher Information

Giuseppe Carleo, Julien Sebastian Gacon

The Quantum Fisher Information matrix (QFIM) is a central metric in promising algorithms, such as Quantum Natural Gradient Descent and Variational Quantum Imaginary Time Evolution. Computing the full QFIM for a model with d parameters, however, is computat ...

Multi-scale model for coupled piezoelectric-inelastic behavior

Dragan Damjanovic

In this work, we present the development of a 3D lattice-type model at microscale based upon the Voronoi-cell representation of material microstructure. This model can capture the coupling between mechanic and electric fields with non-linear constitutive b ...

Non-Hermitian time evolution: From static to parametric instability

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Aleksi Antoine Bossart

Eigenmode coalescence imparts remarkable properties to non-Hermitian time evolution, culminating in a purely non-Hermitian spectral degeneracy known as an exceptional point (EP). Here, we revisit time evolution around EPs, looking at both static and period ...

Implications of ANEC for SCFTs in four dimensions

Alessandro Vichi, Andrea Manenti

We explore consequences of the Averaged Null Energy Condition (ANEC) for scaling dimensions Delta of operators in four-dimensional N = 1 superconformal field theories. We show that in many cases the ANEC bounds are stronger than the corresponding unitarity ...

Semiclassical S-matrix and black hole entropy in dilaton gravity

Sergey Sibiryakov

We use complex semiclassical method to compute scattering amplitudes of a point particle in dilaton gravity with a boundary. This model has nonzero minimal black hole mass M-cr. We find that at energies below M-cr the particle trivially scatters off the bo ...

Quantum Measurement of Mechanical Motion close to the Standard Quantum Limit

Liu Qiu

In quantum mechanics, the Heisenberg uncertainty principle places a fundamental limit in the measurement precision for certain pairs of physical quantities, such as position and momentum, time and energy or amplitude and phase. Due to the Heisenberg uncert ...

Momentum space CFT correlators for Hamiltonian truncation

Matthew Thomas Walters

We consider Lorentzian CFT Wightman functions in momentum space. In particular, we derive a set of reference formulas for computing two- and three-point functions, restricting our attention to three-point functions where the middle operator (corresponding ...

Bootstrapping massive quantum field theories

João Miguel Augusto Penedones Fernandes, Denis Karateev

We propose a new non-perturbative method for studying UV complete unitary quantum field theories (QFTs) with a mass gap in general number of spacetime dimensions. The method relies on unitarity formulated as positive semi-definiteness of the matrix of inne ...

Kubits: Solid-State Self-Reconfiguration With Programmable Magnets

Auke Ijspeert, Mehmet Hasan Mutlu, Simon Lukas Hauser

Even though many prototypes of 3D self-reconfiguring modular robots (SRMRs) have been developed in recent years, a demonstration involving 1'000 modules remains a challenge. This is largely due to complex mechanics needed to achieve connection, disconnecti ...

New Approach to Identifying Critical Initial Conditions for Extreme Flood Simulations in a Semicontinuous Simulation Framework

Anton Schleiss, Bettina Schaefli, Javier García Hernández, Fränz Zeimetz, Guillaume Mathieu Artigue

Extreme flood simulation with synthetic extreme precipitation events raises unavoidable questions about the choice of initial conditions. State-of-the-art extreme flood estimation frameworks propose to address these questions with the help of semicontinuou ...

Two-term, asymptotically sharp estimates for eigenvalue means of the Laplacian

Joachim Stubbe

We present asymptotically sharp inequalities for the eigenvalues mu(k) of the Laplacian on a domain with Neumann boundary conditions, using the averaged variational principle introduced in [14]. For the Riesz mean R-1(z) of the eigenvalues we improve the k ...

Stiffness, force and drift capacity of in-plane loaded modern unreinforced brick masonry walls

Bastian Valentin Wilding

In countries of low to moderate seismicity, such as Switzerland, unreinforced masonry (URM) is mainly used in residential buildings due to its good insulation capacity and fire resistance along with a fair compressive strength. URM walls however show a lim ...

Ultrafast ultrasound imaging as an inverse problem: Matrix-free sparse image reconstruction

Jean-Philippe Thiran, Yves Wiaux, Rafael Eduardo Carrillo Rangel, Marcel Arditi, Adrien Georges Jean Besson, Dimitris Perdios, Florian Martinez

Conventional ultrasound (US) image reconstruction methods rely on delay-and-sum (DAS) beamforming, which is a relatively poor solution of the image reconstruction problem. An alternative to DAS consists in using iterative techniques which require both an a ...
