Abstract:
Proposals for scalable quantum computing devices suffer not only from decoherence due to their interaction with the environment, but also from severe engineering constraints. For example, our ability to implement quantum gates is determined, in part, by the experimentally available interactions with which quantum information may be processed. Here we review a practical solution to some of the major concerns, control and error prevention, addressing solid state proposals for quantum computing devices. Some noise is eliminated by encoding a logical qubit into two qubits, other noise is reduced by an efficient set of decoupling pulse sequences. The same encoding removes the need for single-qubit operations which pose a difficult design constraint. We also discuss several generalizations which follow from this work.

Abstract:
Physical systems are frequently modeled as sets of points in space, each representing the position of an atom, molecule, or mesoscale particle. As many properties of such systems depend on the underlying ordering of their constituent particles, understanding that structure is a primary objective of condensed matter research. Although perfect crystals are fully described by a set of translation and basis vectors, real-world materials are never perfect, as thermal vibrations and defects introduce significant deviation from ideal order. Meanwhile, liquids and glasses present yet more complexity. A complete understanding of structure thus remains a central, open problem. Here we propose a unified mathematical framework, based on the topology of the Voronoi cell of a particle, for classifying local structure in ordered and disordered systems that is powerful and practical. We explain the underlying reason why this topological description of local structure is better suited for structural analysis than continuous descriptions. We demonstrate the connection of this approach to the behavior of physical systems and explore how crystalline structure is compromised at elevated temperatures. We also illustrate potential applications to identifying defects in plastically deformed polycrystals at high temperatures, automating analysis of complex structures, and characterizing general disordered systems.

Abstract:
For condensed explosives, containing metal particle additives, interaction of the detonation shock and reaction zone with solid inclusions leads to high rates of momentum and heat transfer that consequently introduce non-ideal detonation phenomena. During the time scale of the leading detonation shock crossing a particle, the acceleration and heating of metal particles are shown to depend on the volume fraction of particles, dense packing configuration, material density ratio of explosive to solid particles and ratio of particle diameter to detonation reaction-zone length. Dimensional analysis and physical parameter evaluation are used to formalize the factors affecting particle acceleration and heating. Three-dimensional mesoscale calculations are conducted for matrices of spherical metal particles immersed in a liquid explosive for various particle diameter and solid loading conditions, to determine the velocity and temperature transmission factors resulting from shock compression. Results are incorporated as interphase exchange source terms for macroscopic continuum models that can be applied to practical detonation problems involving multi-phase explosives or shock propagation in dense particle-fluid systems.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss and share some practical insights on how leaders can seek legitimacy when leading highly specialized/highly educated people from other educational backgrounds than their own. Design/methodology/approach Based on an initial literature review on leader legitimacy, this paper distills three strategies for strengthening leader legitimacy that can apply to leaders of organizations employing highly specialized/highly educated people. Findings If these strategies are applied, leaders leading people from other educational backgrounds than their own will strengthen their possibilities for being perceived legitimate leaders. Further, for recruiters of leaders, awareness about the legitimacy challenge is an important step in choosing the “right” person for the job. For educational institutions and organizers of organizational-internal leader development programs, the strategies are important to consider when preparing and planning teaching on leadership. Research limitations/implications Research was based on a systematic literature review on leader legitimacy and the findings result from an initial categorizing. Practical implications The paper provides strategic insights and practical approaches with the potential to enhance leader and business effectiveness and informing leader-education approaches. The paper bridges theory and practice for leaders, recruiters of leaders and leader-education institutions. Originality/value The briefing saves busy executives and researchers hours of reading time by presenting pertinent information in a condensed and practice-oriented format.

Abstract:
Assurance of high measuring sensitivity is one of the most challenging issues for any nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy system. To this end, we propose an accurate noise model of the entire probe-to-spectrometer receiving chain for condensed matter physics, based on the concept of noise figure. The model predicts the propagation of both the signal and noise levels in every component of the NMR spectroscopy receiving chain. Furthermore, it enables identification of the "weakest" component and, therefore, the optimization of the whole system. The most important property of the proposed model is the possibility to find system parameters that reduce the measurement time by an a priori calculation, rather than an a posteriori approach. The model was tested experimentally on several different samples. It was found that the measurement time can still be significantly shortened, down to at least one half of the measurement time, starting from optimized conditions with commercially available components. Thus, the proposed model can be used as a tool for both quantitative analysis of the noise properties and a sensitivity prediction of practical NMR systems in physics and material science.

Full text
Abstract:
In this thesis, a numerical study of simulating and computing the magnetocaloric properties of magnetic materials is presented. The main objective was to deduce the optimal procedure to obtain the isothermal change in entropy of magnetic systems, by evaluating two different formulas of entropy extraction, one relying on the magnetization of the material and the other on the magnet's heat capacity. The magnetic systems were simulated using two different Monte Carlo algorithms, the Metropolis and Wang-Landau procedures. The two entropy methods proved to be comparably similar to one another. Both approaches produced reliable and consistent results, though finite size effects could occur if the simulated system became too small. Erroneous fluctuations that invalidated the results did not seem stem from discrepancies between the entropy methods but mainly from the computation of the heat capacity itself. Accurate determination of the heat capacity via an internal energy derivative generated excellent results, while a heat capacity obtained from a variance formula of the internal energy rendered the extracted entropy unusable. The results acquired from the Metropolis algorithm were consistent, accurate and dependable, while all of those produced via the Wang-Landau method exhibited intrinsic fluctuations of varying severity. The Wang-Landau method also proved to be computationally ineffective compared to the Metropolis algorithm, rendering the method not suitable for magnetic simulations of this type.

Abstract:
In recent years, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cells (PEMFC) have attracted much attention due to their potential as a clean power source for many applications, including automotive, portable and stationary devices. This resulted in a tremendous technological progress, such as the development of new membranes and electro-catalysts or the improvement of electrode structures. However, in order to compete within the most attractive markets, the PEMFC technologies did not reach all the required characteristics yet, in particular in terms of cost and durability.Because of the strong coupling between different physicochemical phenomena, the interpretation of experimental observations is difficult, and analysis through modeling becomes crucial to elucidate the degradation and failure mechanisms, andto help improving both PEMFC electrochemical performance and durability.The development of a theoretical tool is essential for industrials and the scientific community to evaluate the PEMFC degradation and to predict itsperformance and durability in function of the materials properties and in a diversity of operating conditions. This manuscript summarizes my scientific research efforts in this exciting topic during the last 9 years in France, including my invention of the MEMEPhys multiscale simulation package,developed on the basis of my childhood passion for the New Technologies for Energyin Argentina. My perspectives of adapting this approach to other electrochemical systems such as water electrolyzers and batteries are also discussed.

Abstract:
Il est bien connu que la synchronisation de l'activité oscillatoire dans les réseaux de neurones joue un rôle important dans le fonctionnement du cerveau et pour le traitement des informations données pas les neurones. Cette thèse porte sur l'analyse de l'activité de synchronisation en utilisant des outils et des méthodes issues de la théorie du contrôle et de la théorie de la stabilité. En particulier, deux modèles ont été étudiés pour décrire l'activité oscillatoire des réseaux de neurones : le modèle de Kuramoto et le modèle de Hindmarsh-Rose. Une partie de ce manuscript est consacrée à l'étude du modèle de Kuramoto, qui est un des systèmes les plus simples utilisé pour modéliser un réseau de neurones, avec une connexion complète (all-to-all). Il s'agit d'un modèle classique qui est utilisé comme une version simplifiée d'un réseau de neurones. Nous construisons un système linéaire qui conserve les informations sur les fréquences naturelles et sur les gains d'interconnexion du modèle original de Kuramoto. Les propriétés de stabilité de ce modèle sont ensuite analysées et nous montrons que les solutions de ce nouveau système linéaire convergent vers un cycle limite périodique et stable. Finalement, nous montrons que contraint au cycle limite, les dynamiques du système linéaire coïncident avec le modèle de Kuramoto. Dans une seconde partie, nous avons considéré un modèle de réseau de neurones plus proche de la réalité d'un point de vue biologique, mais qui est plus complexe que le modèle de Kuramoto. Plus précisément, nous avons utilisé le modèle de Hindmarsh-Rose pour décrire la dynamique de chaque neurone que nous avons interconnecté par un couplage diffusif (c'est à dire linéaire). A partir des propriétés de semi-passivité du modèle de Hindmarsh- Rose, nous avons analysé les propriétés de stabilité d'un réseau hétérogène de Rindmarsh-Rose. Nous avons également montré que ce réseau est pratiquement synchronisé pour une valeur suffisamment grande du gain d'interconnexion. D'autre part, nous avons caractérisé le comportement limite des neurones synchronisés et avons établi une approximation de ce comportement par une moyenne des dynamiques de tous les neurones.

Full text
Abstract:
The book contains a comprehensive account of the theory and application of neutron scattering for the study of the structure and dynamics of condensed matter. All the principal experimental techniques available at national and international neutron scattering facilities are covered. The formal theory is presented, and used to show how neutron scattering measurements give direct access to a variety of correlation and response functions which characterize the equilibrium properties of bulk matter. The determination of atomic arrangements and magnetic structures by neutron diffraction and neutron optical methods is described, including single-crystal and powder diffraction, diffuse scattering from disordered structures, total scattering, small-angle scattering, reflectometry, and imaging. The principles behind the main neutron spectroscopic techniques are explained, including continuous and time-of-flight inelastic scattering, quasielastic scattering, spin-echo spectroscopy, and Compton scattering. The scattering cross-sections for atomic vibrations in solids, diffusive motion in atomic and molecular fluids, and single-atom and cooperative magnetic excitations are calculated. A detailed account of neutron polarization analysis is given, together with examples of how polarized neutrons can be exploited to obtain information about structural and magnetic correlations which cannot be obtained by other methods. Alongside the theoretical aspects, the book also describes the essential practical information needed to perform experiments and to analyse and interpret the data. Exercises are included at the end of each chapter to consolidate and enhance understanding of the material, and a summary of relevant results from mathematics, quantum mechanics, and linear response theory, is given in the appendices.

Abstract:
This book provides a practical guide to molecular dynamics and Monte Carlo simulation techniques used in the modelling of simple and complex liquids. Computer simulation is an essential tool in studying the chemistry and physics of condensed matter, complementing and reinforcing both experiment and theory. Simulations provide detailed information about structure and dynamics, essential to understand the many fluid systems that play a key role in our daily lives: polymers, gels, colloidal suspensions, liquid crystals, biological membranes, and glasses. The second edition of this pioneering book aims to explain how simulation programs work, how to use them, and how to interpret the results, with examples of the latest research in this rapidly evolving field. Accompanying programs in Fortran and Python provide practical, hands-on, illustrations of the ideas in the text.

Full text
Abstract:
The study of transport phenomena in disordered media is a subject of wide interdisciplinary concern, with many applications in fluid mechanics, condensed matter, life and environmental sciences as well. Flows through grossly irregular (porous) media is a specific fluid mechanical application of great practical value in applied science and engineering. It is arguably also one of the applications of choice of the LBE methods. The dual field–particle character of LBE shines brightly here: the particle-like nature of LBE (populations move along straight particle trajectories) permits a transparent treatment of grossly irregular geometries in terms of elementary mechanical events, such as mirror and bounce-back reflections. These assets were quickly recognized by researchers in the field, and still make of LBE (and eventually LGCA) an excellent numerical tool for flows in porous media, as it shall be discussed in this Chapter.

The technique of quasi-elastic neutron scattering (QENS) is a powerful experimental tool for extracting dynamical information at the nanoscale from both soft and hard condensed matter systems. However, while seemingly simple, the method is beset with sensitivities that, if ill considered, can hinder data interpretation and possibly publication. To start, however, this chapter simply asks “What can QENS do for me?” Key parameters and preliminary experimental considerations necessary to plan a successful neutron scattering experiment are presented, as are research case studies in the areas of chemistry, biology, physics and materials science which expand upon the information that might be extracted using the QENS method.

Abstract:
Identification of particulate matter and liquid spills contaminations is essential for many applications, such as forensics, agriculture, security, and environmental protection. For example, toxic industrial compounds deposition in the form of aerosols, or other residual contaminations, pose a secondary, long-lasting health concern due to resuspension and secondary evaporation. This chapter explores several approaches for employing diffuse reflectance spectroscopy in the mid-IR and SWIR to identify particles and films of materials in field conditions. Since the behavior of thin films and particles is more complex compared to absorption spectroscopy of pure compounds, due to the interactions with background materials, the use of physical models combined with statistically-based algorithms for material classification, provides a reliable and practical solution and will be presented.

Full text
Abstract:
Spin glasses are disordered magnetic materials, and it is hard to find a less promising candidate to serve as a focal point of complexity studies, much less as the object of thousands of investigations. On first inspection, they don't seem particularly exciting. Although they're a type of magnet, they're not very good at being magnetic. Metallic spin glasses are unremarkable conductors, and insulating spin glasses are fairly useless as practical insulators. This introductory chapter provides an overview of why spin glasses might be of interest to the reader if they are not a physicist but are interested in any of a variety of other problems outside physics, or more generally in the field of complexity itself. It explores those features of spin glasses that have attracted, in turn, condensed matter and statistical physicists, complexity scientists, and mathematicians and applied mathematicians of various sorts.

Abstract:
The art and study of plant nutrition go back at least to Roman times, as essential parts of the business of producing food. This long historical perspective can usefully be studied now, when plant nutrition is largely a matter of science in its principles, but still, to a surprising extent, an art in its application, even in developed countries. In the past, the delay between a scientific advance and the application in practical agriculture was usually many decades. Thus, the rates of fertilizer used by Lawes (Johnston 1994) in experiments in 1850 were not applied widely in practice until after 1950. The movement to precision agriculture may now take the final step to a full science-based nutrition of plants in the field. For these reasons, we have thought it worthwhile to give a highly condensed outline of the history of scientific advance in our subject. It is now generally accepted that under given growth conditions, uptake of a solute by roots is related to its concentration in the soil solution and the extent to which this, in turn, is buffered by the soil. Though these apparently simple ideas were advanced more than a century and a half ago, only recently have they been defined clearly enough to form a basis for detailed understanding of the effect of solutes on plants grown in the soil. These ideas have, in particular, been obscured by specific effects of roots with their associated rhizosphere organisms: for roots not only vary widely in their response to solute concentration, but also alter near them the soil properties we measure in the bulk of the soil. Thus, it is only since the 1950s that we have come within reach of the objective clearly set us by Liebig in 1840 when he wrote: ‘A rational system of agriculture must be based on an exact acquaintance with the means of nutrition of vegetables, and with the influence of soils and action of manure upon them’. The history of ideas about soil and plant relations has been well described by Russell (1937) and Wild (1988) for the period up to the beginning of the twentieth century.

Abstract:
Nowadays, the visible impact of releases to the ambient has become a matter of greater concern due to the awareness of environmental degradation and protection among the society. Therefore, the contribution of renewable energies as the free and clean sources can provide environment-friendly solutions. However, little attention has been paid to the practical applications of the renewables. Cooling towers are widely used in industries and commercial buildings to dissipate waste heat to the ambient environment. During unfavorable weather conditions, the exhaust of the wet cooling tower remixes with the cooler ambient air and as it cools down the excess moisture condenses in small fog droplets, creating visible plume. The generated plume sometime can extend up to few hundred meters and causes invisibility and darkness problem. In this study, solar energy is integrated into wet cooling tower to reduce the visible plume formation. In this method, optimum solar system is achieved taking into consideration the economical analysis. Also, the operational conditions of cooling tower at various environmental states have been incorporated in targeting the optimum solar system through different scenarios. Related coding in MATLAB version 7.1 is developed for computations.
