State reconstruction of finite dimensional compound systems via local projective measurements and one-way classical communication
For a finite dimensional discrete bipartite system, we find the relation
between local projections performed by Alice, and Bob post-selected state
dependence on the global state submatrices. With this result the joint state
reconstruction problem for a bipartite system can be solved with strict local
projections and one-way classical communication. The generalization to
multipartite systems is straightforward.Comment: 4 pages, 1 figur
Breakdown of the classical double copy for the effective action of dilaton-gravity at NNLO
We demonstrate that a recently proposed classical double copy procedure to construct the effective action of two massive particles in dilaton-gravity from the analogous problem of two color charged particles in Yang-Mills gauge theory fails at next-to-next-to-leading orders in the post-Minkowskian (3PM) or post-Newtonian (2PN) expansions
Appropriate strategy for immunisation of children in India 3. Community-based annual pulse (cluster) immunisation
A strategy of annual pulse vaccination is proposed as the most appropriate technique for achieving high immunisation rates in our country. Because vaccine is taken to children in their communities on announced dates, acceptance will be much higher than with conventional clinic vaccination. A simplified immunisation schedule and a family-retained record are used to reduce complexity. Vaccines and other materials are managed at a district level; the local arrangements for vaccination are made by the PHC staff and village level workers. The advantages of this technique include higher coverage, shortened and strengthened cold chain, reduced red tape for recipients of vaccine, the involvement of private health institutions in a national campaign, and a strengthening of the PHC system
Entanglement and nonclassical properties of hypergraph states
Hypergraph states are multi-qubit states that form a subset of the locally
maximally entangleable states and a generalization of the well--established
notion of graph states. Mathematically, they can conveniently be described by a
hypergraph that indicates a possible generation procedure of these states;
alternatively, they can also be phrased in terms of a non-local stabilizer
formalism. In this paper, we explore the entanglement properties and
nonclassical features of hypergraph states. First, we identify the equivalence
classes under local unitary transformations for up to four qubits, as well as
important classes of five- and six-qubit states, and determine various
entanglement properties of these classes. Second, we present general conditions
under which the local unitary equivalence of hypergraph states can simply be
decided by considering a finite set of transformations with a clear
graph-theoretical interpretation. Finally, we consider the question whether
hypergraph states and their correlations can be used to reveal contradictions
with classical hidden variable theories. We demonstrate that various
noncontextuality inequalities and Bell inequalities can be derived for
hypergraph states.Comment: 29 pages, 5 figures, final versio
A novel electrochemical calibration setup for oxygen sensors and its use for the stability assessment of Aanderaa optodes
We present a laboratory calibration setup for the individual multi-point calibration of oxygen sensors. It is based on the electrochemical generation of oxygen in an electrolytic carrier solution. Under thorough control of the conditions, i.e., temperature, carrier solution flow rate, and electrolytic current, the amount of oxygen is strictly given by Faraday's laws and can be controlled to within ± 0.5 μmol L–1 (2 SD). Whereas Winkler samples can be taken for referencing with a reproducibility between triplicates of 0.8 μmol L–1 (2 SD), the calibration setup can provide a Winkler-free way of referencing with an accuracy of ± 1.2 μmol L–1 (2 SD). Thus calibrated oxygen optodes have been deployed in the Southern Ocean and the Eastern Tropical Atlantic both in profiling and underway mode and confirm the validity of the laboratory calibrations to within few μmol L–1. In two cases, the optodes drifted between deployments, which was easily identified using the calibration setup. The electrochemical calibration setup may thus facilitate accurate oxygen measurements on a large scale, and its small size makes it possible to configure as a mobile, sea-going, Winkler-free system for oxygen sensor calibrations
Gravitational Spin-Orbit Coupling through Third-Subleading Post-Newtonian Order: From First-Order Self-Force to Arbitrary Mass Ratios
Exploiting simple yet remarkable properties of relativistic gravitational scattering, we use first-order self-force (linear-in-mass-ratio) results to obtain arbitrary-mass-ratio results for the complete third-subleading post-Newtonian (4.5PN) corrections to the spin-orbit sector of spinning-binary conservative dynamics, for generic (bound or unbound) orbits and spin orientations. We thereby improve important ingredients of models of gravitational waves from spinning binaries, and we demonstrate the improvement in accuracy by comparing against aligned-spin numerical simulations of binary black holes
