Quantum Algorithm for Petz Recovery Channels and Pretty Good Measurements by Gilyén, András, Lloyd, Seth, Marvian, Iman, Quek, Yihui, Wilde, Mark M.

“…The pretty good measurement is a special case of the Petz recovery channel, and it allows for near-optimal state discrimination. A hurdle to the experimental realization of these vaunted theoretical tools is the lack of a systematic and efficient method to implement them. …”

Search of the early O3 LIGO data for continuous gravitational waves from the Cassiopeia A and Vela Jr. supernova remnants by Sudhir, Vivishek

“…Estimates from simulated continuous wave signals indicate we achieve the most sensitive results to date across the explored parameter space volume, probing to strain magnitudes as low as ~$6.3\times10^{-26}$ for Cas A and ~$5.6\times10^{-26}$ for Vela Jr. at frequencies near 166 Hz at 95% efficiency.…”

Experimental Constraints on Melting Processes in the Earth and Small Rocky Bodies by Hoyos Muñoz, Susana

“…In Chapter 3, I estimate a minimum radius of ~1600 km for the Angrite Parent Body using near-liquidus equilibrium experiments. The implications for planet formation models of a differentiated moon-sized planetesimal accreting in the first 3 Ma of the Solar System are also discussed. …”

Water-rich sublithospheric melt channel in the equatorial Atlantic Ocean by Mehouachi, Fares, Singh, Satish C.

“…The required water concentration for melting increases with age; nevertheless, its corresponding total mass remains relatively constant, suggesting that most of the volatiles in the oceanic sublithospheric channel originate from a horizontal flux near the ridge axis.…”

The curious case of nomenclatures by Tan, Ying Ying

“…There are immensely more examples of Englishes around the world that have the suffix (or its near equivalent) than those without (American, Tanzanian, South African Englishes are just some of numerous examples); and the two well known Englishes that remain suffix-free are New Zealand English and Hong Kong English, which we can explain by way of a morphological misfit: the -er suffix does sound rather awkward. …”

Observation of vector solitons supported by third-order dispersion by Guo, Jun, Hu, Xiaonan, Song, Yu Feng, Shao, Guo Dong, Zhao, Lu Ming, Tang, Ding Yuan

“…Using a cavity dispersion and birefringence management technique we constructed a weakly birefringent cavity fiber laser with near-zero net cavity dispersion. Operating the fiber laser in either the net normal or net anomalous dispersion regime, we found that both dark-bright and antidark-bright vector solitons could be simultaneously formed as a result of incoherent cross-polarization phase modulation. …”
