Hydrogenic Spin Quantum Computing in Silicon: A Digital Approach
We suggest an architecture for quantum computing with spin-pair encoded
qubits in silicon. Electron-nuclear spin-pairs are controlled by a dc magnetic
field and electrode-switched on and off hyperfine interaction. This digital
processing is insensitive to tuning errors and easy to model. Electron
shuttling between donors enables multi-qubit logic. These hydrogenic spin
qubits are transferable to nuclear spin-pairs, which have long coherence times,
and electron spin-pairs, which are ideally suited for measurement and
initialization. The architecture is scalable to highly parallel operation.Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures; refereed and published version with improved

Spinful Composite Fermions in a Negative Effective Field
In this paper we study fractional quantum Hall composite fermion
wavefunctions at filling fractions \nu = 2/3, 3/5, and 4/7. At each of these
filling fractions, there are several possible wavefunctions with different spin
polarizations, depending on how many spin-up or spin-down composite fermion
Landau levels are occupied. We calculate the energy of the possible composite
fermion wavefunctions and we predict transitions between ground states of
different spin polarizations as the ratio of Zeeman energy to Coulomb energy is
varied. Previously, several experiments have observed such transitions between
states of differing spin polarization and we make direct comparison of our
predictions to these experiments. For more detailed comparison between theory
and experiment, we also include finite-thickness effects in our calculations.
We find reasonable qualitative agreement between the experiments and composite
fermion theory. Finally, we consider composite fermion states at filling
factors \nu = 2+2/3, 2+3/5, and 2+4/7. The latter two cases we predict to be
spin polarized even at zero Zeeman energy.Comment: 17 pages, 5 figures, 4 tables. (revision: incorporated referee

Noise resistance of adiabatic quantum computation using random matrix theory
Besides the traditional circuit-based model of quantum computation, several
quantum algorithms based on a continuous-time Hamiltonian evolution have
recently been introduced, including for instance continuous-time quantum walk
algorithms as well as adiabatic quantum algorithms. Unfortunately, very little
is known today on the behavior of these Hamiltonian algorithms in the presence
of noise. Here, we perform a fully analytical study of the resistance to noise
of these algorithms using perturbation theory combined with a theoretical noise
model based on random matrices drawn from the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble,
whose elements vary in time and form a stationary random process.Comment: 9 pages, 3 figure

The history, evolution, and future of big data & analytics:A bibliometric analysis of its relationship to performance in organizations
Big data and analytics (BDA) are gaining momentum, particularly in the practitioner world. Research linking BDA to improved organizational performance seems scarce and widely dispersed though, with the majority focused on specific domains and/or macro-level relationships. In order to synthesize past research and advance knowledge of the potential organizational value of BDA, the authors obtained a data set of 327 primary studies and 1252 secondary cited papers. This paper reviews this body of research, using three bibliometric methods. First, it elucidates its intellectual foundations via co-citation analysis. Second, it visualizes the historical evolution of BDA and performance research and its substreams through algorithmic historiography. Third, it provides insights into the field's potential evolution via bibliographic coupling. The results reveal that the academic attention for the BDA-performance link has been increasing rapidly. The study uncovered ten research clusters that form the field's foundation. While research seems to have evolved following two main, isolated streams, the past decade has witnessed more cross-disciplinary collaborations. Moreover, the study identified several research topics undergoing focused development, including financial and customer risk management, text mining and evolutionary algorithms. The review concludes with a discussion of the implications for different functional management domains and the gaps for both research and practice.</p
Trace amine receptor in GtoPdb v.2023.1
Trace amine-associated receptors were discovered from a search for novel 5-HT receptors [9], where 15 mammalian orthologues were identified and divided into two families. The TA1 receptor (nomenclature as agreed by the NC-IUPHAR Subcommittee for the Trace amine receptor [58]) has affinity for the endogenous trace amines tyramine, β-phenylethylamine and octopamine in addition to the classical amine dopamine [9]. Emerging evidence suggests that TA1 is a modulator of monoaminergic activity in the brain [94] with TA1 and dopamine D2 receptors shown to form constitutive heterodimers when co-expressed [30]. In addition to trace amines, receptors can be activated by amphetamine-like psychostimulants, and endogenous thyronamines

Lowering the background level and the energy threshold of Micromegas x-ray detectors for axion searches
Axion helioscopes search for solar axions by their conversion in x-rays in
the presence of high magnetic fields. The use of low background x-ray detectors
is an essential component contributing to the sensitivity of these searches. In
this work, we review the recent advances on Micromegas detectors used in the
CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) and proposed for the future International
Axion Observatory (IAXO). The actual setup in CAST has achieved background
levels below 10 keV cm s, a factor 100 lower than
the first generation of Micromegas detectors. This reduction is based on active
and passive shielding techniques, the selection of radiopure materials, offline
discrimination techniques and the high granularity of the readout. We describe
in detail the background model of the detector, based on its operation at CAST
site and at the Canfranc Underground Laboratory (LSC), as well as on Geant4
simulations. The best levels currently achieved at LSC are low than 10
keV cm s and show good prospects for the application of
this technology in IAXO. Finally, we present some ideas and results for
reducing the energy threshold of these detectors below 1 keV, using
high-transparent windows, autotrigger electronics and studying the cluster
shape at different energies. As a high flux of axion-like-particles is expected
in this energy range, a sub-keV threshold detector could enlarge the physics
case of axion helioscopes.Comment: Proceedings of 3rd International Conference on Technology and
