AI Article Synopsis
- Researchers explored how coupled waveguides can serve as qubits in a system resembling a double-well potential, which is key for integrated photonics.
- They applied a slow-varying amplitude approximation (SVA) to analyze the behavior of electromagnetic beams in these waveguides, using both analytical and numerical methods.
- Additionally, they presented examples of "quantum operations" on wave states and conducted quantum-mechanical calculations for nonlinear transfer functions to integrate this technology into optical neural networks.
Article Abstract
We have determined conditions when a pair of coupled waveguides, a common element for integrated room-temperature photonics, can act as a qubit based on a system with a double-well potential. Moreover, we have used slow-varying amplitude approximation (SVA) for the "classical" wave equation to study the propagation of electromagnetic beams in a couple of dielectric waveguides both analytically and numerically. As a part of an extension of the optical-mechanical analogy, we have considered examples of "quantum operations" on the electromagnetic wave state in a pair of waveguides. Furthermore, we have provided examples of "quantum-mechanical" calculations of nonlinear transfer functions for the implementation of the considered element in optical neural networks.

Background: Recent studies suggest genome-wide-association-studies (GWAS) loci confer their effects on microglia in late-onset Alzheimer's disease (LOAD) brains. Relatively fewer studies have investigated the effects of other genome-wide significant loci (p<5e) using human neurons.
Method: GWAS itself cannot directly identify causal variant-(effector)gene-pairs as GWAS only reports the sentinel variant at a given locus.
Interaction-Enhanced Superradiance of a Rydberg-Atom Array.

We study the superradiant phase transition of an array of Rydberg atoms in a dissipative microwave cavity. Under the interplay of the cavity field and the long-range Rydberg interaction, the steady state of the system exhibits an interaction-enhanced superradiance, with vanishing critical atom-cavity coupling rates at a discrete set of interaction strengths. We find that, while the phenomenon can be analytically understood in the case of a constant all-to-all interaction, the enhanced superradiance persists under typical experimental parameters with spatially dependent interactions, but at modified critical interaction strengths.

Introduction: Relationship dynamics could be shaped by schemas, and relationship satisfaction could be depend on how couples perceive each other through these schemas. The main aim of this study was to assess how early maladaptive schemas are related to relationship satisfaction for both males and females in a relationship, by highlighting factors that contribute to relationship satisfaction, with a particular focus on the interaction of schemas between males and females.
Methods: The study involved a total of healthy 47 different-gender couples.

Resonant interactions associated with the emergence of a bound state constitute one of the cornerstones of modern many-body physics. Here we present a Feshbach perspective on the origin of strong pairing in Fermi-Hubbard type models. We perform a theoretical analysis of interactions between spin-polaron charge carriers in doped Mott insulators, modeled by a near-resonant two-channel scattering problem, and report evidence for Feshbach-type interactions in the channel, consistent with the established phenomenology of cuprates.

Advancements in cryo-EM have stimulated a revolution in structural biology. Yet, for membrane proteins near the cryo-EM size threshold of approximately 40 kDa, including transporters and G-protein coupled receptors, the absence of distinguishable structural features makes image alignment and structure determination a significant challenge. Furthermore, resolving more than one protein conformation within a sample, a major advantage of cryo-EM, represents an even greater degree of difficulty.
