Calculation of the ground-state Stark effect in small molecules using the variational quantum eigensolver

As quantum computing approaches its first commercial implementations, quantum simulation emerges as a potentially ground-breaking technology for several domains, including Biology and Chemistry. However, taking advantage of quantum algorithms in Quantum Chemistry raises a number of theoretical and practical challenges at different levels, from the conception to its actual execution. We go through such challenges in a case study of a quantum simulation for the hydrogen (H2) and lithium hydride (LiH) molecules, at an actual commercially available quantum computer, the IBM Q. The former molecule has always been a playground for testing approximate calculation methods in Quantum Chemistry, while the latter is just a little bit more complex, lacking the mirror symmetry of the former. Using the Variational Quantum Eigensolver (VQE) method, we study the molecule's ground state energy versus interatomic distance, under the action of stationary electric fields (Stark effect). Additionally, we review the necessary calculations of the matrix elements of the second quantization Hamiltonian encompassing the extra terms concerning the action of electric fields, using STO-LG type atomic orbitals to build the minimal basis sets.Comment: Soft Comput (2021

Investigating the effect of EFL Learners' Gender and Second Language Proficiency on Willingness to Communicate in the upper secondary schools of the Republic of Kosova

Second language willingness to communicate (WTC) has become a significant concept in second language learning and communication. Previous research on willingness to communicate (WTC) has shown that except the attitude, support and the teaching style of the teachers that influence learners’ WTC, the gender and the language proficiency plays a role, too. This study was carried out to investigate the effects of gender and language proficiency on willingness to communicate. Specifically, the objectives of the study were to find out if the gender and language proficiency have any effect on willingness to communicate. In addition, by this study there is intended to provide information to teachers in order to help their students feel more confident in expressing themselves. This study included a questionnaire with upper-secondary school students. In order to measure students' willingness to communicate there was administered a modified version of the Likert-type questionnaire developed by Macintyre et al. (2001). A total of thirty-two participants respectively upper-secondary school students participated in the study. Results from the study show that the gender of the students plays somerole on their willingness to communicate respectively based on the results female students are just a little bit more willing to communicate compared to male students. On the other side the proficiency of the students has a remarkable effect on the willingness of the students to communicate respectively proficient students are much more willing to communicate than the non-proficient students

THE IMPACT OF GENDER AND SECOND LANGUAGE PROFICIENCY ON WILLINGNESS TO COMMUNICATE IN THE UPPER SECONDARY SCHOOLS OF GJILAN TOWNKOSOVO

Second language willingness to communicate (WTC) has lately become an important concept in second language learning and communication. Earlier research on willingness to communicate (WTC) has shown that there are a lot of factors that influence the willingness of the learners to communicate and among those factors there are mentioned also the factor of gender and the language proficiency. The objectives of the study were to identify the factors that influence willingness to communicate and to find out if the gender and language proficiency have any effect on willingness to communicate. In addition, by this study there is intended to provide information to teachers in order to help their students feel more confident in expressing themselves. This study included a questionnaire with upper-secondary school students. In order to measure students' willingness to communicate there was administered a modified version of the Likert-type questionnaire developed by MacIntyre et al. (2001). A total of 300 hundred upper-secondary schools students participated in the study. Results from the study do not show that the gender of the students plays a noteworthy role on their willingness to communicate respectively based on the results female students are just a little bit more willing to communicate compared to male students. On the other side the proficiency of the students has a notable effect on the willingness of the students to communicate respectively proficient students are much more willing to communicate than the non-proficient students

Negotiating Authority: Perceptions of Age in the Writing

From 2003 to 2006, I worked as a writing center tutor at a small, private, liberal arts college. I was the "traditional" college student while I worked at the writing center: I was between the ages of 19 and 22 and a middle-class Caucasian woman. During my three years working as a tutor at the Moravian College and Theological Seminary Writing Center, other tutors and I faced our biggest challenges while working with Moravian Seminary students–graduate students at the seminary studying to become affiliated with the Moravian Church. These students were typically many years older than the tutors. As younger tutors, we often felt that these older student-writers did not value our input on their writing.University Writing Cente

Invite your representative to work. Change the world. Here's how.

Today's political climate can seem hostile to science. Alternative facts, climate change denial, and relabeling of actual news as fake news are discouraging phenomena for sure. But these trends make it more important than ever to engage our politicians. Take heart! There is something you can do. You can show your representatives firsthand the amazing things you do, evidence of the economic engine that your activities generate, and the real people behind the discoveries. I did, and it was fun. We invited our congressman to the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB), and he accepted! For 2 hours, we explained and demonstrated efforts to cure blindness using stem cells, the medical implications of the discovery that cells can recover from the brink of death, a mosquito lab striving to eliminate insect-borne disease, and an Alzheimer's disease laboratory. Salud Carbajal peered through a microscope and met real scientists. Before his visit, he did not know what a postdoctoral fellow was, much less what stem cells look like. When he left he knew our names, how much money we bring into his district, and how important National Institutes of Health funding and international mobility are to our enterprise. Although I live in the United States, this approach should also apply to other democratic countries. If each of us converts one representative into a science champion, we can change the world
