Emergence of atom-light-mirror entanglement inside an optical cavity
We propose a scheme for the realization of a hybrid, strongly
quantum-correlated system formed of an atomic ensemble surrounded by a
high-finesse optical cavity with a vibrating mirror. We show that the steady
state of the system shows tripartite and bipartite continuous variable
entanglement in experimentally accessible parameter regimes, which is robust
against temperature
Review of the Upside of Your Dark Side: Why Being Your Whole Self – Not Just Your “Good” Self – Drives Success and Fulfillment, by Todd Kashdan and Robert Biswas-Diener
The Upside of Your Dark Side is the result of collaboration between Todd Kashdan, a research powerhouse and vocal critic from within the positive psychology movement, and Robert Biswas-Diener, an accomplished author, coach, consultant, and researcher in his own right. The resulting product gives readers the best of both authors’ strengths: outstanding empirical rigor, vibrant writing, and groundbreaking ideas. The central thesis of Upside is to turn on its head the common wisdom that negative emotions are bad and should be avoided; they show how in moderation, in the right situations, three key negative emotions (anger, guilt, and anxiety) can be tremendously beneficial. They also argue that happiness and mindfulness, two constructs often thought to be universally beneficial, are not all good. They close with the proposition that a person who avoids negativity misses out on the benefits of being “whole” – a person who experiences both positive and negative emotions and harnesses each to their full potential
EXPLORING INTERPRETATIONS AND CONSEQUENCES OF MICHIGAN’S EXPUNGEMENT STATUTE THROUGH FORMAL MODELING AND ANALYSIS
Rules and regulations often come with a lack of clarity and the possibility of multiple interpretations. Without a clear understanding of what they are supposed to mean it becomes difficult to tell the people that these rules and regulations apply what to expect from them. This report will take a closer look at one of these sets of rules, the expungement laws in the state of Michigan. The alternative interpretations and possible contradictions are explored and their effects on real people are discussed. After an introduction providing a general understanding of the issue, a proposed solution to these problems will be looked at as well. Computer models can be used to explore the consequences and different outcomes from different interpretations of these laws. A model was written in Alloy in order to show the practicality of this method and was used to further explore the Michigan expungement laws
