    Given a non-degenerate Peano continuum XX, a dimension function D:2X[0,]D:2^X_*\to[0,\infty] defined on the family 2X2^X_* of compact subsets of XX, and a subset Γ[0,)\Gamma\subset[0,\infty), we recognize the topological structure of the system (2^X,\D_{\le\gamma}(X))_{\alpha\in\Gamma}, where 2X2^X is the hyperspace of non-empty compact subsets of XX and Dγ(X)D_{\le\gamma}(X) is the subspace of 2X2^X, consisting of non-empty compact subsets KXK\subset X with D(K)γD(K)\le\gamma.Comment: 12 page

    This paper employs the resource-based theory of the firm to explain the influence of human resources on the sustained competitive advantage of an organization. Based on previous conceptual and empirical literature, we posit that the presence of a high potential employee workforce, coupled with adequate human resource management policies, can result in improved profit generating potential. We developed a conceptual framework with several propositions that illustrate the associations between job satisfaction and organizational productivity. We apply this concept in the health care field, suggesting that the satisfaction of physicians’ needs leads to greater organizational productivity and sustained competitive advantage

    Neural network agent playing spin Hamiltonian games on a quantum computer

    Quantum computing is expected to provide new promising approaches for solving the most challenging problems in material science, communication, search, machine learning and other domains. However, due to the decoherence and gate imperfection errors modern quantum computer systems are characterized by a very complex, dynamical, uncertain and fluctuating computational environment. We develop an autonomous agent effectively interacting with such an environment to solve magnetism problems. By using the reinforcement learning the agent is trained to find the best-possible approximation of a spin Hamiltonian ground state from self-play on quantum devices. We show that the agent can learn the entanglement to imitate the ground state of the quantum spin dimer. The experiments were conducted on quantum computers provided by IBM. To compensate the decoherence we use local spin correction procedure derived from a general sum rule for spin-spin correlation functions of a quantum system with even number of antiferromagnetically-coupled spins in the ground state. Our study paves a way to create a new family of the neural network eigensolvers for quantum computers.Comment: Local spin correction procedure was used to compensate real device errors; comparison with variational approach was adde

    A high-temperature expansion method for calculating paramagnetic exchange interactions

    Full text link
    The method for calculating the isotropic exchange interactions in the paramagnetic phase is proposed. It is based on the mapping of the high-temperature expansion of the spin-spin correlation function calculated for the Heisenberg model onto Hubbard Hamiltonian one. The resulting expression for the exchange interaction has a compact and transparent formulation. The quality of the calculated exchange interactions is estimated by comparing the eigenvalue spectra of the Heisenberg model and low-energy magnetic part of the Hubbard model. By the example of quantum rings with different hopping setups we analyze the contributions from the different part of the Hubbard model spectrum to the resulting exchange interaction.Comment: 8 pages, 8 figure
