Thermal noise and oscillations of photon distribution for squeezed and correlated light
The oscillations of photon distribution function for squeezed and correlated
light are shown to decrease when the temperature increases.The influence of the
squeezing parameter and photon quadrature correlation coefficient on the photon
distribution oscillations at nonzero temperatures is studied. The connection of
deformation of Planck distribution formula with oscillations of distribution
for squeezed and correlated light is discussed.Comment: Latex,7 pages INFN-Na-IV-93/31,DSF-T-93/3
Quantum singular oscillator as a model of two-ion trap: an amplification of transition probabilities due to small time variations of the binding potential
Following the paper by M. Combescure [Ann. Phys. (NY) 204, 113 (1990)], we
apply the quantum singular time dependent oscillator model to describe the
relative one dimensional motion of two ions in a trap. We argue that the model
can be justified for low energy excited states with the quantum numbers , provided that the dimensionless constant characterizing the
strength of the repulsive potential is large enough, . Time
dependent Gaussian-like wave packets generalizing odd coherent states of the
harmonic oscillator, and excitation number eigenstates are constructed. We show
that the relative motion of the ions, in contradistinction to its center of
mass counterpart, is extremely sensitive to the time dependence of the binding
harmonic potential, since the large value of results in a significant
amplification of the transition probabilities between energy eigenstate even
for slow time variations of the frequency.Comment: 19 pages, LaTeX, 5 eps-figures, to appear on Phys. Rev. A, one

Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry:Workshop Summary
This document presents a summary of the 2023 Terrestrial Very-Long-Baseline Atom Interferometry Workshop hosted by CERN. The workshop brought together experts from around the world to discuss the exciting developments in large-scale atom interferometer (AI) prototypes and their potential for detecting ultralight dark matter and gravitational waves. The primary objective of the workshop was to lay the groundwork for an international TVLBAI proto-collaboration. This collaboration aims to unite researchers from different institutions to strategize and secure funding for terrestrial large-scale AI projects. The ultimate goal is to create a roadmap detailing the design and technology choices for one or more km-scale detectors, which will be operational in the mid-2030s. The key sections of this report present the physics case and technical challenges, together with a comprehensive overview of the discussions at the workshop together with the main conclusions
Artificial Intelligence-Based Cyber Security in the Context of Industry 4.0 — A Survey
The increase in cyber-attacks impacts the performance of organizations in the industrial sector, exploiting the vulnerabilities of networked machines. The increasing digitization and technologies present in the context of Industry 4.0 have led to a rise in investments in innovation and automation. However, there are risks associated with this digital transformation, particularly regarding cyber security. Targeted cyber-attacks are constantly changing and improving their attack strategies, with a focus on applying artificial intelligence in the execution process. Artificial Intelligence-based cyber-attacks can be used in conjunction with conventional technologies, generating exponential damage in organizations in Industry 4.0. The increasing reliance on networked information technology has increased the cyber-attack surface. In this sense, studies aiming at understanding the actions of cyber criminals, to develop knowledge for cyber security measures, are essential. This paper presents a systematic literature research to identify publications of artificial intelligence-based cyber-attacks and to analyze them for deriving cyber security measures. The goal of this study is to make use of literature analysis to explore the impact of this new threat, aiming to provide the research community with insights to develop defenses against potential future threats. The results can be used to guide the analysis of cyber-attacks supported by artificial intelligence

Kinesin-1-mediated capsid disassembly and disruption of the nuclear pore complex promote virus infection
Many viruses deliver their genomes into the host cell nucleus for replication. However, the size restrictions of the nuclear pore complex (NPC), which regulates the passage of proteins, nucleic acids, and solutes through the nuclear envelope, require virus capsid uncoating before viral DNA can access the nucleus. We report a microtubule motor kinesin-1-mediated and NPC-supported mechanism of adenovirus uncoating. The capsid binds to the NPC filament protein Nup214 and kinesin-1 light-chain Klc1/2. The nucleoporin Nup358, which is bound to Nup214/Nup88, interacts with the kinesin-1 heavy-chain Kif5c to indirectly link the capsid to the kinesin motor. Kinesin-1 disrupts capsids docked at Nup214, which compromises the NPC and dislocates nucleoporins and capsid fragments into the cytoplasm. NPC disruption increases nuclear envelope permeability as indicated by the nuclear influx of large cytoplasmic dextran polymers. Thus, kinesin-1 uncoats viral DNA and compromises NPC integrity, allowing viral genomes nuclear access to promote infection
