Data Sculptures as a Playful and Low-Tech Introduction to Working with Data by Bhargava, Rahul, D'Ignazio, Catherine

“…This paper argues that activities focused on building physical manifestations of data, where some variable is mapped onto a physical artifact, are uniquely well-suited to scaffolding a process and exposing learners to methods so that they may take the next step in a learning journey. …”

Landau-Zener transitions in a superconducting flux qubit by Johansson, J., Amin, M. H. S., Berkley, A. J., Bunyk, P., Choi, V., Harris, R., Johnson, M. W., Lanting, T. M., Lloyd, Seth, Rose, G.

“…The method used isolates a single qubit, tunes its tunneling amplitude Δ into the limit where Δ is much less than both the temperature T and the decoherence-induced energy level broadening, and forces it to undergo a Landau-Zener transition. …”
