Dynamics of current-driven magnetic domain walls and skyrmions by Indra Purnama

“…At present, the investigation of domain wall dynamics is mainly focused on finding additional driving mechanisms to improve its mobility. In the case of skyrmion dynamics, the research is still in the very early stage, although it has been shown that it is possible to inject individual skyrmions individually which brings skyrmion-based devices closer to realization. …”

Block-encoding dense and full-rank kernels using hierarchical matrices: applications in quantum numerical linear algebra by Nguyen, Quynh T., Kiani, Bobak T., Lloyd, Seth

“…This runtime is near-optimal and, in terms of <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>N</mml:mi></mml:math>, exponentially improves over prior quantum linear systems algorithms in the case of dense and full-rank kernel matrices. We discuss possible applications of our methodology in solving integral equations and accelerating computations in N-body problems.…”

Storage and eruption of silicic magma across the transition from dominantly effusive to caldera-forming states at an arc volcano (Santorini, Greece) by Druitt, Timothy H., Fabbro, Gareth N., Costa, Fidel

“…Based on previously published phase diagrams and melt inclusion volatile barometry for the Cape Riva dacite, we infer that in each case crystallization of plagioclase rims and orthopyroxene took place centuries to years prior to eruption owing to volatile-saturated decompression (± cooling) as the dacitic melts (plus entrained plagioclase antecrystic cores) ascended from the middle crust (10–16 km) into the upper crust (4–6 km), where they resided until eruption a few years to decades later. …”

3D content recovery and complexity reduction by Tan, Cheen Hau

“…Our mocap recovery methods target two types of missing data: random missing data, where each joint in a sequence are missing at random, and block missing data, where each joint is missing for long intervals of time. For the case of random missing data, we propose to arrange the mocap data matrix into columns of short trajectories, which we call the trajectory-based representation, for matrix completion recovery. …”
