    Fractional Quantum Hall Physics in Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard Lattices

    Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard arrays provide unique opportunities for quantum emulation as they exhibit convenient state preparation and measurement, and in-situ tuning of parameters. We show how to realise strongly correlated states of light in Jaynes-Cummings-Hubbard arrays under the introduction of an effective magnetic field. The effective field is realised by dynamic tuning of the cavity resonances. We demonstrate the existence of Fractional Quantum Hall states by com- puting topological invariants, phase transitions between topologically distinct states, and Laughlin wavefunction overlap.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure

    This paper provides a brief examination of the east (odd) side of North Stratton Street in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, during 1943. As N. Stratton was primarily a residential road, the examination focuses on the individuals\u27 and families\u27 connection with each other, the Gettysburg community, and the broader world

    Emergency Funds in Australian Households: An Empirical Analysis of Capacity and Sources

    Get PDF
    This paper examines demographic and socioeconomic characteristics as predictors of emergency fund adequacy in Australian households. The results indicate that the presence of children, the number of dependents and income-earning units, the age and ethnicity of the household head, income dependency upon retirement plans and investments and government pensions and benefits, homeownership and disposable income are significant determinants of the capacity to raise emergency funds. They are also important predictors of the likely source of emergency funds. However, they are generally better at predicting mainstay sources of funds such as own savings and loans from deposit-taking institutions and credit card usage than loans from family or friends
