Strata pressure behavior law and regional-level intelligent early warning for high-intensity mining in extended working faces of medium-thick coal seams in Yuheng mining area by Feng CUI, Cheng ZONG, Xingping LAI, Tao XIE, Yunhu BAI, Yi ZHANG, Chong JIA, Hao WANG, Zhong LUO, Hao LIU

“…The results show that the pressure distribution in the strike direction of the 11207 extended working face of Yuandatan Coal Mine presents an “M”-shaped feature of “double peaks-valley oscillation”. With the advancement and time progression, the “M”-shaped pressure field generally shows a periodic evolution law of “formation-stabilization-recurrence”. …”

High-resolution BOES Spectroscopy of Raman-scattered He iiλ6545 in Young Planetary Nebulae by Jin Lim, Seok-Jun Chang, Jaejin Shin, Hee-Won Lee, Jiyu Kim, Hak-Sub Kim, Bo-Eun Choi, Ho-Gyu Lee

“…Young planetary nebulae (PNe) are characterized by their hot central stars and the presence of abundant neutral and molecular components, which result from significant mass loss during the asymptotic giant branch phase of stellar evolution. Far-UV He  ii λ 1025 line photons produced near the central star can undergo Raman scattering by hydrogen atoms, creating a broad emission feature centered at ~6545 Å. …”

Algorithmic Shadow Spectroscopy by Hans Hon Sang Chan, Richard Meister, Matthew L. Goh, Bálint Koczor

“…We present shadow spectroscopy as a simulator-agnostic quantum algorithm for estimating energy gaps using very few circuit repetitions (shots) and no extra resources (ancilla qubits) beyond performing time evolution and measurements. The approach builds on the fundamental feature that every observable property of a quantum system must evolve according to the same harmonic components: we can reveal them by postprocessing classical shadows of time-evolved quantum states to extract a large number of time-periodic signals N_{o}∝10^{8}, whose frequencies correspond to Hamiltonian energy differences with precision limited as ϵ∝1/T for simulation time T. …”
