Degeneracy resolution capabilities of NOν\nuA and DUNE in the presence of light sterile neutrino

We investigate the implications of a sterile neutrino on the physics potential of the proposed experiment DUNE and future runs of NO$\nu$A using latest NO$\nu$A results. Using combined analysis of the disappearance and appearance data, NO$\nu$A reported preferred solutions at normal hierarchy (NH) with two degenerate best-fit points one in the lower octant (LO) and $\delta_{13}$ = 1.48$\pi$ and other in higher octant (HO) and $\delta_{13}$ = 0.74$\pi$. Another solution of inverted hierarchy (IH) which is 0.46$\sigma$ away from best fit was also reported. We discuss chances of resolving these degeneracies in the presence of sterile neutrino.Comment: 16 pages 5 figures,Updated for the journa

Quantum studies of neutrinos on IBMQ processors

The two flavor neutrinos are mapped to quantum bit states used in quantum information theory. Such qubits of the neutrino state can be encoded on a IBMQ computer using quantum computing as a tool. We discuss the implications of the implementation of bipartite entanglement in the two neutrino systems in the vacuum and in the uniform matter background on the IBM quantum processor
