Atrial Fibrillation (AF): Causes, Sequela, Risk Factors, and Management

This poster gives detailed information covering atrial fibrillation such as its definition, relevance, classifications, symptoms, and risk factors. Also included is a moderately in-depth discussion of the different pathophysiological mechanisms underlying the condition and a section with esoteric terms necessary to understand those mechanisms. The poster features a summary of management strategies for atrial fibrillation and concludes with implications for nursing

Dissipative stabilization of entangled cat states using a driven Bose-Hubbard dimer

We analyze a modified Bose-Hubbard model, where two cavities having on-site Kerr interactions are subject to two-photon driving and correlated dissipation. We derive an exact solution for the steady state of this interacting driven-dissipative system, and use it show that the system permits the preparation and stabilization of pure entangled non-Gaussian states, so-called entangled cat states. Unlike previous proposals for dissipative stabilization of such states, our approach requires only a linear coupling to a single engineered reservoir (as opposed to nonlinear couplings to two or more reservoirs). Our scheme is within the reach of state-of-the-art experiments in circuit QED.Comment: 5 pages main text, 5 pages appendices, 6 figure
