Exploring the Limitations of Hybrid Adiabatic Quantum Computing for Emission Tomography Reconstruction by Merlin A. Nau, A. Hans Vija, Wesley Gohn, Maximilian P. Reymann, Andreas K. Maier

“…We demonstrate how to frame image reconstruction as a combinatorial optimization problem suited for these quantum annealers and hybrid systems. Using a toy problem, we analyze reconstructions of binary and integer-valued images with respect to their image size and compare them to conventional methods. …”

The Use of Non-Linear Dynamics to Help Facilitate Understanding of Learning and Development Within Groups by Andrew JT George

“…This paper discusses the implications of non-linear dynamics on our understanding of group development and illustrate this with a toy model of anger in a group of three. While formal mathematical modelling of group behaviour is probably not achievable, the insights can help coaches understand how best to intervene to maximise their impact and bring benefit to their clients.…”

Functional renormalization group for non-Hermitian and $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric systems by Lukas Grunwald, Volker Meden, Dante M. Kennes

“…We investigate the merits and shortcomings of the vertex expansion for non-Hermitian systems by considering an exactly solvable $\mathcal{PT}$-symmetric non-linear toy-model and reveal, that in this model, the fidelity of the vertex expansion in a perturbatively motivated truncation schema is comparable with that of the Hermitian case. …”

Using entropy bounds to avoid the cosmological singularity and constrain cosmological particle production by Hao Yu, Jin Li

“…Abstract In this work, we study the applications of entropy bounds in two toy cosmological models with particle production (annihilation), i.e., a radiation-dominated universe and a dust-dominated universe. …”

Islands in multiverse models by Aguilar-Gutierrez, Sergio E., Chatwin-Davies, Aidan, Hertog, Thomas, Pinzani-Fokeeva, Natalia, Robinson, Brandon

“…We consider multiverse models in two-dimensional linear dilaton-gravity theories as toy models of false vacuum eternal inflation. Coupling conformal matter we calculate the Von Neumann entropy of subregions. …”

Stereotipi da vedere, amalgama artificioso e poliedrico di etnocentrismi vecchi e nuovi by Alberto Baldi

“…We are faced with a representation fed by a strategy of containment which, while visually materializing diversity at the same time despises and demonises it, fixes it, circumscribes it in graffiti, wall painting, statuary, fetish, puppet, toy and doll, and therefore in clay, stone, wood, iron, ivory, marble, even plastic, yesterday as today.…”

Spinor wave function of the Universe in non-minimally coupled varying constants cosmologies by Adam Balcerzak, Mateusz Lisaj

“…Abstract In this paper, we introduce a non-minimally coupled varying speed of light and varying gravitational constant cosmological toy model. Using the Eisenhart–Duval lifting method, we extend the original minisuperspace of the model and depict the evolution of the system in the presence of the potential term as a geometrical flow associated with the lifted metric. …”
