Hamiltonian simulation of minimal holographic sparsified SYK model by Raghav G. Jha

“…The circuit complexity for Hamiltonian simulation of the sparsified SYK model with N Majorana fermions and q=4 (quartic interactions), which retains holographic features (referred to as ‘minimal holographic sparsified SYK’) with k≪N3/24 (where k is the total number of interaction terms times 1/N) using the second-order Trotter method and Jordan-Wigner encoding is found to be O˜(kαN3/2log⁡N(Jt)3/2ε−1/2) where t is the simulation time, ε is the desired error in the implementation of the unitary U=exp⁡(−iHt) measured by the operator norm, J is the disorder strength, and constant α<1. …”

FROM THE METAPHOR OF WATER TO CORRESPONDENCES BETWEEN ENESCU, EMINESCU, BLAGA AND THE ROMANIAN SPIRITUALITY by Olguţa LUPU

“… In the work of George Enescu, nature is regarded not as an intrinsic reality, but rather as an array of elements permanently interacting with the human being, giving birth to a complex connection, sometimes manifested through a harmonious communion, other times garnering dramatic dimensions. Of all the primordial elements, the symbol of water marks Enescu’s entire creation, illustrating the complexity of the relationship between man and nature: from the serene and melancholic pages of his youth, that broach the romantic genre of character miniature (barcarola), to the works characterized by a nostalgic and introspective component with a touch of memoir (in Childhood Impressions or The Villageoise Suite), all the way to the tragedy in Vox Maris – whose similarities with Oedipus require further investigation. …”
