Establishing the number of distinct stabilizer bases for a quantum qudit error-correcting code

The class of quantum codes called stabilizer codes is increasingly well-understood. The premise of the stabilizer formalism is that a quantum code can be efficiently described by a subgroup of its error group, and, interestingly, the stabilizer formalism permits correspondences with classical linear codes. In this paper, we examine one such correspondence, and we shall use this to establish the number of distinct stabilizer codes that exist for a fixed parametrisation

On a family of linear recurrences

We concern ourselves with the family of linear recurrence relations aj = aj−1+aj−d with the initial conditions a0 = . . . = ad−1 = 1. We discuss the periodicity evaluation of such recurrences for prime powers d, and demonstrate that a key feature of our evaluation method relates to an instance of Shor's algorithm for factoring. As an application, we discuss how efficient quantum circuit designs may be completely recast as a problem relating to linear recurrence relations

The media’s visual securitisation and dehumanisation of refugees

Is the media’s visual representation of refugees helping or worsening their situation? Annabelle Wilmott, alumni from the MSc in International Development and Humanitarian Emergencies programme, summarises the findings from her detailed study on the UK media’s visual coverage of the Syrian refugee crisis

Clemson University Latino Voices: Past, Present, Future

The Creative Inquiry program combines engaged learning and undergraduate research at Clemson University. This project challenged a Creative Inquiry class to produce a mini-documentary film through research in the Special Collections of the Latinx community\u27s early histories; interviewing students, alumni, faculty, and staff; and using the Libraries\u27 Adobe Digital Studio
