Numerical methods for finite-size key rates with different entropic bounds in quantum key distribution by Chung, Rebecca Ru Byn

“…We then showed that the Renyi entropy indeed gives a tighter bound on the low-signal regime (N~10^5), and outperforms the bound using the von Neumann entropy in regimes of long channel distances and low signal number, thus paving the way for a better understanding of long-distance satellite-based QKD protocols in the presence of finite resources.…”

Nonlinear evolution and acceleration of unstable fuel-lean hydrogen/air flame at normal and cryogenic temperatures by Yang, L, Zhang, T, Wang, Y, Fang, X, Leach, F, Chen, Z

“…By changing the equivalence ratio, initial temperature and channel size, the intensity of DLI and DTI varies, resulting in various regimes of flame evolution. It is found that cryogenic flames are more unstable than normal flames. …”

The four worlds of ‘welfare reality’ – social risks and outcomes in Europe by Ferragina, E, Seeleib-Kaiser, M, Spreckelsen, T

“…After three decades of welfare state crisis, change and transformation can we still speak of welfare state regimes when looking at their outcomes? The analysis of outcomes provides a picture of ‘the real worlds of welfare’ and is of considerable importance to understanding political legitimacy across countries. …”

Optimising statistical methodologies for estimating antimalarial efficacy for uncomplicated Plasmodium falciparum malaria by Dahal, P

“…For dihydroartemisinin-piperaquine (DP) regimen, a study with 42 day follow-up was estimated to miss 47% [95% CI: 19 – 90%] of the treatment failures in those who were adequately dosed. …”

Comparison between CaO- and MgO-activated ground granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBS) for stabilization/solidification of Zn-contaminated clay slurry by Zhang, Yunhui, Ong, Yi Jie, Yi, Yaolin

“…Stabilization/solidification (S/S) is a low-cost and effective remedial technique for dredged contaminated sediments. Quick lime (CaO)-activated and reactive magnesia (MgO)-activated ground granulated blast furnace slag (GGBS) are effective and low-carbon S/S binders. …”

Maxwell-type models for the effective thermal conductivity of a porous material with radiative transfer in the voids by Kiradjiev, KB, Halvorsen, SA, Van Gorder, RA, Howison, SD

“…In the high-temperature regime, radiative transfer within voids strongly influences the thermal conductivity of the bulk material. …”

Dynamic properties of high-Tc superconducting nano-junctions made with a focused helium ion beam by Couëdo, François, Amari, Paul, Feuillet-Palma, Cheryl, Ulysse, Christian, Srivastava, Yogesh Kumar, Singh, Ranjan, Bergeal, Nicolas, Lesueur, Jérôme

“…At lower temperature and for the highest He irradiation dose, the shot noise contribution must also be taken into account when approaching the tunneling regime. We conclude that these Josephson nano-junctions present the lowest noise level possible, which makes them very promising for future applications in the microwave and terahertz regimes.…”

Enhancing quantum synchronization through homodyne measurement, noise, and squeezing by Shen, Yuan, Soh, Hong Yi, Fan, Weijun, Kwek, Leong Chuan

“…Homodyne measurement emerges as one of the successful candidates for this task but preferably in the semiclassical regime. In our work, we focus on the phase synchronization of a harmonic-driven quantum Stuart-Landau oscillator and show that the enhancement induced by homodyne measurement persists into the quantum regime. …”
