Women in the Workforce: An In-Depth Analysis of Gender Roles and Compensation Inequity in the Modern Workplace
This paper explores the increase in participation and education of American women in the workforce with a special focus on women in business and accounting roles. The paper then goes on to discuss the wage gap between genders, how to remedy inequality in the workplace, and highlights several reasons why pursing a solution to gender inequality is beneficial for both the employee and the company
Approximate programmable quantum processors
A quantum processor is a programmable quantum circuit in which both the data
and the program, which specifies the operation that is carried out on the data,
are quantum states. We study the situation in which we want to use such a
processor to approximate a set of unitary operators to a specified level of
precision. We measure how well an operation is performed by the process
fidelity between the desired operation and the operation produced by the
processor. We show how to find the program for a given processor that produces
the best approximation of a particular unitary operation. We also place bounds
on the dimension of the program space that is necessary to approximate a set of
unitary operators to a specified level of precision.Comment: 8 page
Trading Platform for the Global Warrant Markets
Global warrant markets are among the most active financial markets in the retail derivatives investment landscape currently. In this context some of the most relevant markets in the last years have been the ones across Asia and in particular Hong Kong, Korea and Japan. This paper introduces the financial instruments used in connection with the warrant markets, pre-sents and offers suggestions for setting up a generic warrant market making system and in-troduces the main concepts and components that need to be taken into account when develop-ing these systems targeting an exchange driven or E-Businesscontext.Trading, E-Business, Warrant, Market Making
Modified Spin-Wave Theory for Nanomagnets : Application to the Keplerate Molecule Mo(72)Fe(30)
We adapt Takahashi's modified spin-wave theory to the context of
nano-magnets, and apply it to the molecular compound based on the giant
magnetic molecule Mo(72)Fe(30). This involves solving numerically the
mean-field equations and then forcing the sublattice magnetizations to zero by
means of local chemical potentials for the magnons. We have thus constructed a
quantum state with no local magnetization at all temperatures, appropriate to a
finite-size system, but with strong correlations. We compare theoretical
results to specific heat and ESR measurements.Comment: 12 pages, 11 figure
Transverse magnetization and transient oscillations in the quantum tunneling of molecular magnets
We calculate the response of a molecular magnet subject to a time-varying
magnetic field and coupled to a heat bath. We propose that observations of
calculated oscillations transverse to the field direction may be an effective
way of demonstrating quantum tunneling and thus probing the details of level
repulsion. The effective model of a triangle of Heisenberg spins and weak
anisotropies, as has been used to model the molecular magnets V15 and Cu3, is
used to illustrate this
