Haslam Professor of Chemical Engineering; Professor of Chemistry, Physics, and Institute for Medical Engineering and Science, MIT Now welcoming submissions in the Physics of Living Systems Submit your best work at elifesci.org/physics-living-systems Image: D. Bonazzi (CC BY 2.0) Led by Senior Editor Arup Chakraborty, this dedicated new section of the open-access journal eLife welcomes studies in which experimental, theoretical, and computational approaches rooted in the physical sciences are developed and/or applied to provide deep insights into the collective properties and function of multicomponent biological systems and processes. eLife publishes groundbreaking research in the life and biomedical sciences. All decisions are made by working scientists. WELCOME t is a pleasure to welcome you to Los Angeles and to the APS March I Meeting 2018. As has become a tradition, the March Meeting is a spectacular gathering of an enthusiastic group of scientists from diverse organizations and backgrounds who have broad interests in physics. This meeting provides us an opportunity to present exciting new work as well as to learn from others, and to meet up with colleagues and make new friends. While you are here, I encourage you to take every opportunity to experience the amazing science that envelops us at the meeting, and to enjoy the many additional professional and social gatherings offered. Additionally, this is a year for Strategic Planning for APS, when the membership will consider the evolving mission of APS and where we want to go as a society.

  • Quantum-Inspired Identification of Complex Cellular Automata
    Quantum-inspired identification of complex cellular automata Matthew Ho,1, 2, ∗ Andri Pradana,1, y Thomas J.

National University of Singapore, 3 Science Drive 2, Singapore 117543, Singapore (Dated: March 29, 2021) Elementary cellular automata (ECA) present iconic examples of complex systems. Though de- scribed only by one-dimensional strings of binary cells evolving according to nearest-neighbour update rules, certain ECA rules manifest complex dynamics capable of universal computation. Yet, the classification of precisely which rules exhibit complex behaviour remains a significant challenge. Here we approach this question using tools from quantum stochastic modelling, where quantum statistical memory { the memory required to model a stochastic process using a class of quantum machines { can be used to quantify the structure of a stochastic process. By viewing ECA rules as transformations of stochastic patterns, we ask: Does an ECA generate structure as quantified by the quantum statistical memory, and if so, how quickly? We illustrate how the growth of this measure over time correctly distinguishes simple ECA from complex counterparts. Moreover, it provides a more refined means for quantitatively identifying complex ECAs { providing a spectrum on which we can rank the complexity of ECA by the rate in which they generate structure. t-1 We all have some intuition of complexity.

  • Quantum Versus Classical Measures of Complexity on Classical Information
    Quantum versus Classical Measures of Complexity on Classical Information Lock Yue Chew, PhD Division of Physics and Applied Physics School of Physical & Mathematical Sciences & Complexity Institute Nanyang Technological University Astronomical Scale Macroscopic Scale Mesoscopic Scale What is Complexity? • Complexity is related to “Pattern” and “Organization”. Nature inherently organizes; Pattern is the fabric of Life. James P. Crutchfield • There are two extreme forms of Pattern: generated by a Clock and a Coin Flip. • The former encapsulates the notion of Determinism, while the latter Randomness. • Complexity is said to lie between these extremes. J. P. Crutchfield and K. Young, Physical Review Letters 63, 105 (1989). Can Complexity be Measured? • To measure Complexity means to measure a system’s structural organization. How can that be done? • Conventional Measures: • Difficulty in Description (in bits) – Entropy; Kolmogorov-Chaitin Complexity; Fractal Dimension. • Difficulty in Creation (in time, energy etc.) – Computational Complexity; Logical Depth; Thermodynamic Depth. • Degree of organization – Mutual Information; Topological ϵ- machine; Sophistication.

It gives rise to a new measure of Complexity known as Statistical Complexity to account for the degree of organization. 5.

  • IPS Meeting 2015 4 - 6 March
    IPS Meeting 2015 4 - 6 March Institute of Physics Singapore Conference Program (post-printed version, status: March 3, 2015, 17:00SGT) The IPS Meeting 2015 thanks its sponsors for their generous support Institutional Sponsors: SINGAPORE UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY AND DESIGN Established in collaboration with MIT 1 Foreword Dear fellow Physicists, this year we are back again to the School of Physical and Mathematical Sciences on the campus of Nanyang Technological University for our annual gathering of physicists active in research. For some of our colleagues, who come from their new campus of the Singapore University of Technology and Design (SUTD), this is probably as far as it gets - at least in Singapore. Some time ago, when the IPS council got together, we realized that the UNESCO had declared 2015 as the international year of light. As physicists, this is something many of us use in their daily work, so here was the theme for this year’s meeting. We felt that a focus session on precision measurements and Spectroscopy does fit very well this theme - and a lot of work is done on this topic in Singapore as well! This emphasis is also highlighted by plenary talks discussing exciting new developments in various realizations of precision measurements. It turned out that even one of our colleagues who works – among other topics – on black holes got noted widely for his work describing light paths around these objects - something that made it into a major Hollywood movie. So convinced Edward Teo to open the meeting with a plenary talk, explaining to us the exotic physics hidden in the movie.

  • The Practical Use of Cosmic Shear As a Probe of Gravity
    The Practical use of Cosmic Shear as a Probe of Gravity Donnacha Kirk Thesis submitted for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the University College London Department of Physics & Astronomy UNIVERSITY COLLEGE LONDON April 2011 I, Donnacha Kirk, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. Specifically: • The work on luminosity functions and red galaxy fractions in section 2.7 was done by Dr. Michael Schneider (then at Durham) as part of our collaboration on the paper Kirk et al. (2010). • The work in chapters 3 & 4 is my contribution to, and will form the substantial part of, papers in preparation with collaborators Prof. Rachel Bean and Istvan Lazslo at Cornell University. The MG effect on the linear growth function was computed by Istvan Lazslo. • The Great08 section of chapter 6 draws on my contributions to the Great08 Handbook (Bridle et al. 2009), Great08 Results Paper (Bridle et al. 2010a) and Great10 Handbook (Kitching et al. 2010).
