‘You could start a new country, but you would need to discover new land’: exploring understandings of statehood with primary school pupils in England by Saddington, L, McConnell, FR

“…While scholarship within political geography has long sought to challenge the ‘territorial trap’ which underpins these approaches, and there is increasing awareness and prominence of children's political geography within the subdiscipline, little attention has focused on how children themselves conceptualise and think about the state. …”

Engineering photon delocalization in a Rabi dimer with a dissipative bath by Zheng, Fulu, Zhang, Yuyu, Wang, Lu, Wei, Yadong, Zhao, Yang

“…Nevertheless, with moderate qubit–bath coupling, photons are delocalized with quasiequilibration of the photon population in two resonators at long times. In this case, high‐frequency bath modes are activated by interacting with depolarized qubits. …”

An analysis on the traffic processing efficiency of a combination of serial and parallel bottlenecks by Quek, Wei-Liang, Chung, Ning Ning, Chew, Lock Yue

“…In particular, we demonstrate that by constructing combinations of serial and parallel bottlenecks, optimal efficiencies are achieved via configurations with few (many) lanes of a large (small) number of serial units when the processing time is short (long). A direct implication of these results is that autonomous self-driving vehicles could serve to improve the transportation capacity for the densely populated urban cities of the future, due to the intrinsically more efficient collective vehicular motions through these bottlenecks.…”
