Dynamics of superconducting qubit relaxation times

Abstract Superconducting qubits are a leading candidate for quantum computing but display temporal fluctuations in their energy relaxation times T 1. This introduces instabilities in multi-qubit device performance. Furthermore, autocorrelat...

Diffusion and surface alloying of gradient nanostructured metals

Gradient nanostructures (GNSs) have been optimized in recent years for desired performance. The diffusion behavior in GNS metals is crucial for understanding the diffusion mechanism and relative characteristics of different interfaces that ...

Enhancing the oxidative cleavage of vicinal diols on Fe-ZSM-5 catalysts with hierarchical porosity

The oxidative cleavage of biomass-derived vicinal diols holds significant potential for producing valuable renewable carboxylic acids. Fe-ZSM-5 zeolite is a highly effective catalyst for this reaction using mild reaction conditions; however...

Evolution of the Shadow Effect with Film Thickness and Substrate Conductivity on a Hemispherical Workpiece during Magnetron Sputtering

When depositing films on a complex workpiece surface by magnetron sputtering, the shadow effect occurs and causes the columnar structure to tilt toward the substrate owing to the oblique incident angle of the plasma flux, affecting the micr...

Analytical solutions for time-dependent kinematic three-dimensional magnetic reconnection.

Magnetic reconnection is a process that can rapidly convert magnetic field energy into plasma thermal energy and kinetic energy, and it is also an important energy conversion mechanism in space physics, astrophysics and plasma physics. Rese...

Large datasets of water vapor sorption, mass diffusion immersed in water, hygroscopic expansion and mechanical properties of flax fibre/shape memory epoxy hygromorph composites

This data article presents four experimental sets of results related to flax fibre composites with epoxy shape memory polymer matrix: water vapor absorption, mass diffusion immersed in water, hygroscopic expansion, mechanical properties. Th...

Quantum Interference of Electromechanically Stabilized Emitters in Nanophotonic Devices

Photon-mediated coupling between distant matter qubits may enable secure communication over long distances, the implementation of distributed quantum computing schemes, and the exploration of new regimes of many-body quantum dynamics. Solid...

Aligning machines with human values: opacity and ethical sustainability of AI

Abstract The increasingly rapid development of deep learning algorithms is radically transforming society. The potential of neural models is paving the way for the automation of areas previously unrelated to AI, from medical diagnostics to ...

Essai d’analyse des Annales Africaines de Médecine

Résumé : Notre étude porte sur le périodique scientifique intitulé Annales Africaines de Médecine. Par son abondante production scientifique, ce périodique constitue un véritable vecteur de diffusion de l’information scientifique et un outi...

Identifying multi-omics spatial domains via masked autoencoder and diffusion-based latent regularization with SpaMEDM.

One Picture and One Thousand Words: Toward integrated multimodal generative models

Thanks to independent advances in language and image generation, we could soon be in the position to have systems that communicate with us by combining language and images in their output, a skill that humans do not possess (we receive, but...

Segmentation of muscle tissue in computed tomography images at the level of the L3 vertebra

With the increasing routine workload on radiologists associated with the need to analyze large numbers of images, there is a need to automate part of the analysis process. Sarcopenia is a condition in which there is a loss of muscle mass. T...

A Wilson–Cowan reservoir computer for interpretable spatiotemporal vision

Abstract We present a Wilson–Cowan reservoir computer (WC–RC) that treats a retinotopic excitatory–inhibitory neural field as a structured reservoir. Travelling waves and bounded oscillations provide an interpretable spatiotemporal basis, w...
