Efficient Learning of Quantum States Prepared With Few Fermionic Non-Gaussian Gates by Antonio Anna Mele, Yaroslav Herasymenko

“…In addition to the outputs of quantum circuits, our tomography algorithm is efficient for some physical target states, such as those arising in time dynamics and low-energy physics of impurity models. Beyond tomography, our work sheds light on the structure of states prepared with few non-Gaussian gates and offers an improved upper bound on their circuit complexity, enabling an efficient circuit-compilation method.…”

The Associations of Street Network and Urban Form with Walking Frequencies by Peter Schön, Eva Heinen, Bendik Manum

“…Results show significant positive associations of reach, attraction reach, and integration with walking frequency, with the best model fits achieved by accessible total floor area and reach within relatively high network radii (1000 – 2000 m and 6 axial steps), indicating that connectivity and access to a variety of attraction and functions, often beyond administrative borders, encourage walking. …”

Search for Anomalous Quartic ZZγγ Couplings in Photon-Photon Collisions by M. Köksal, V. Arı, A. Senol

“…The direct study of these couplings provides a significant opportunity to test the validity of the SM and the existence of new physics beyond the SM up to the high energy scale. For this reason, we investigate the potential of the processes γγ→ZZ, e-γ→e-γ⁎γ→e-ZZ,  and e+e-→e+γ⁎γ⁎e-→e+ZZe- to examine the anomalous quartic couplings of ZZγγ vertex at the Compact Linear Collider (CLIC) with center-of-mass energy 3 TeV. …”

Quantifying monochromatic and polychromatic optical blur anisotropy in the periphery of myopes and emmetropes using a radial asymmetry metric by Chloe Degre Kendrick, Dibyendu Pusti, Geunyoung Yoon

“…Myopes were significantly more likely to have vertically oriented blur than emmetropes under monochromatic conditions in the temporal peripheral retina beyond 20°. These differences were minimized when chromatic aberrations were included, though the trend remained the same.ImplicationsA trend of more vertical optical blur in the temporal periphery of myopes strengthens the hypothesis that myopes experience different peripheral optical blur than emmetropes, though the small sample size of the current study limits generalizability of the results. …”

U.S. farmers market attendance and experiences by Laura Witzling, Bret Shaw, Darlene Wolnik

“…Additionally, the majority of attendees reported that they ate healthier because of farmers markets and that they did nonconsumer activities at farmers markets, such as socializing and learning, underscoring that farmers markets can be a shared community experience that goes beyond consumption. We recommend that future work build on our results to further investigate how to expand the customer base for farmers mar­kets and help people access the many benefits they provide. …”
