For this reason, visual ways to preserve speech have been developed for many languages and adopted and adapted by others. Some of these visual systems consist of icons of the concept referred to that are directly interpretable. Other systems use symbols which do not directly refer to meaning, but to the language that refers to that concept. Writing then consists of symbols which refer to linguistic entities like words, morphemes, syllables or sounds, see for instance Gelb (1963). In alphabetic systems, spelling represents sounds, and it does so in a linear and sequential fashion. This is a very efficient way of encoding language. A small number of letters suffice to encode all words. Learning to read and to write a language with a perfect alphabetic spelling system equals learning the regular correspondences between letters and sounds. However, most spelling systems are not of this ideal type. Deviations from one-to-one correspondence between sounds and letters can be caused by the fact that there simply are not enough letters to uniquely represent each sound or by the fact that some spelling rules maintain a visible relation between an original word and its derived forms although they are pronounced differently. Other causes of sound-letter mismatches are changes in pronunciation in the course of time that are not reflected orthographically or the influx of loan words that are written according to the spelling of the language of origin. When the number of irregular words becomes too large, spelling can no longer be seen as a code for the pronunciation, but becomes an arbitrary code for words. 1 “Indien

  • Electronic Interactions in Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Quantum Point Contacts
    Electronic Interactions in Semiconductor Quantum Dots and Quantum Point Contacts A dissertation submitted to the Graduate School of the University of Cincinnati in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Physics of the College of Arts and Sciences by Tai-Min Liu M. S. National Chung Cheng University, Chia-Yi, Taiwan B. S. National Taiwan Normal University, Taipei, Taiwan July 2011 Committee Chair: Andrei Kogan, Ph.D. Abstract We report several detailed experiments on electron transport through Quantum Point Contacts (QPCs) and lateral Quantum Dots (QDs), created in a Single-Electron Transistor (SET). In the experiment for QPCs, we present a zero-bias peak (ZBP) in the differential conductance, G, which splits in an external magnetic field. The observed splitting closely matches the Zeeman energy and shows very little dependence on gate voltage, suggesting that the mechanism responsible for the formation of the peak involves electron spin. We also show that the mechanism that leads to the formation of the ZBP is different from the conventional Kondo effect found in QDs. [1] In the second experiment, we present transport measurements of a QD in a spin-flip cotunneling regime and a quantitative comparison of the data to the microscopic theory by Lehman and Loss. The differential conductance is measured in the presence of an in-plane Zeeman field. We focus on the ratio of the nonlinear G at bias voltages exceeding the Zeeman threshold to G for those below the threshold. The data show good quantitative agreement with the theory with no adjustable parameters.

  • Hermes in the Academy WT.Indd
    In 1999, an innovative chair and expertise center was created at the Faculty wouter j. hanegraaff and joyce pijnenburg (eds.) of Humanities of the University of Amsterdam, focused on the history of Western esotericism from the Renaissance to the present. The label “Western esotericism” refers here to a complex of historical currents such as, notably, the Hermetic philosophy of the Renaissance, mystical, magical, alchemical and astrological currents, Christian kabbalah, Paracelsianism, Rosicrucianism, Christian theosophy, and the many occultist and related esoteric currents that developed in their wake during the 19th and the 20th centuries. This complex of “alternative” religious currents is studied from a critical historical and interdisciplinary perspective, with the intention of studying the roles that they have played in the history of Western culture. In the past ten years, the chair for History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents has succeeded in establishing itself as the most important center for study and teaching in this domain, and has strongly contributed to the establishment of Western esotericism as a recognized academic field of research. This volume is published at the occasion of the 10th anniversary. Hermes in the Academy in the Hermes It contains a history of the creation and development of the chair, followed by articles on aspects of Western esotericism by the previous and current staff members, contributions by students and Ph.D. students about the study program, and reflections by international top specialists about the field of research and its academic development. Prof. Dr. Wouter J. Hanegraaff is Professor of History of Hermetic Philosophy and Related Currents at the University of Amsterdam.

  • Supercomputer Simulations of Transmon Quantum Computers
    Supercomputer simulations of transmon quantum computers Von der Fakult¨atf¨urMathematik, Informatik und Naturwissenschaften der RWTH Aachen University zur Erlangung des akademischen Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften genehmigte Dissertation vorgelegt von Dennis Willsch, M.Sc. aus Koln¨ arXiv:2008.13490v1 [quant-ph] 31 Aug 2020 Berichter: Prof. Dr. Kristel Michielsen Prof. Dr. David DiVincenzo Tag der m¨undlichen Pr¨ufung:7. Juli 2020 Diese Dissertation ist auf den Internetseiten der Universit¨atsbibliothekverf¨ugbar. Abstract We develop a simulator for quantum computers composed of superconducting transmon qubits. The simulation model supports an arbitrary number of transmons and resonators. Quantum gates are implemented by time-dependent pulses. Nontrivial effects such as crosstalk, leakage to non-computational states, entanglement between transmons and res- onators, and control errors due to the pulses are inherently included. The time evolution of the quantum computer is obtained by solving the time-dependent Schr¨odingerequation. The simulation algorithm shows excellent scalability on high- performance supercomputers. We present results for the simulation of up to 16 transmons and resonators. Additionally, the model can be used to simulate environments, and we demonstrate the transition from an isolated system to an open quantum system governed by a Lindblad master equation. We also describe a procedure to extract model parameters from electromagnetic simulations or experiments. We compare simulation results to experiments on several NISQ processors of the IBM Q Experience. We find nearly perfect agreement between simulation and experiment for quantum circuits designed to probe crosstalk in transmon systems. By studying common gate metrics such as the fidelity or the diamond distance, we find that they cannot reliably predict the performance of repeated gate applications or practical quantum algorithms.
