AbstractArtificial spiking neural networks have found applications in areas where the temporal nature of activation offers an advantage, such as time series prediction and signal processing. To improve their efficiency, spiking architectures often run on custom-designed neuromorphic hardware, but, despite their attractive properties, these implementations have been limited to digital systems. We describe an artificial quantum spiking neuron that relies on the dynamical evolution of two easy to implement Hamiltonians and subsequent local measurements. The architecture allows exploiting complex amplitudes and back-action from measurements to influence the input. This approach to learning protocols is advantageous in the case where the input and output of the system are both quantum states. We demonstrate this through the classification of Bell pairs which can be seen as a certification protocol. Stacking the introduced elementary building blocks into larger networks combines the spatiotemporal features of a spiking neural network with the non-local quantum correlations across the graph.

Quantum correlations and entanglement are fundamental resources for quantum information and quantum communication processes. Developments in these fields normally assume stable resources, not susceptible of distortion. That is not always the case, Heisenberg interactions between qubits can produce distortion on entangled pairs generated for engineering purposes (e. g. quantum computation or quantum cryptography). The presence of parasite magnetic fields modifies the expected properties and behavior for which the pair was intended. Quantum measurement and control help to discriminate the original state in order to correct it or reconstruct it using some procedures which do not alter their quantum nature. Different kinds of quantum entangled pairs driven by a Heisenberg Hamiltonian with an additional inhomogeneous magnetic field become distorted. They can be reconstructed by adding an external magnetic field with fidelity close to one. In addition, each state can be efficiently discriminated. Combining both processes, first reconstruction without discrimination and after discrimination with adequate non-local measurements, it is possible to (a) improve the discrimination, and (b) reprepare faithfully the original state. The complete process gives fidelities better than 0.9. Some results about a class of equivalence for the required measurements are found, allowing to select the experimentally most adequate.

A classification of icosahedral viral capsids is proposed. We show how the self-organization of capsids during their formation implies a definite composition of their elementary building blocks. The exact number of hexamers with three different admissible symmetries is related to capsids' sizes, labelled by theirT-numbers. Simple rules determining these numbers for each value ofTare deduced and certain consequences concerning the probabilities of mutations and evolution of viruses are discussed.

Abstract. The dynamics of complex systems are founded on universal principles that can be used to describe disparate problems ranging from particle physics to economies of societies. A corollary is that transferring ideas and results from investigators in hitherto disparate areas will cross-fertilize and lead to important new results. In this contribution, we investigate the existence of a universal behavior, if any, in solar flares, magnetic storms, earthquakes and pre-seismic electromagnetic (EM) emissions, extending the work recently published by Balasis et al. (2011a). A common characteristic in the dynamics of the above-mentioned phenomena is that their energy release is basically fragmentary, i.e. the associated events are being composed of elementary building blocks. By analogy with earthquakes, the magnitude of the magnetic storms, solar flares and pre-seismic EM emissions can be appropriately defined. Then the key question we can ask in the frame of complexity is whether the magnitude distribution of earthquakes, magnetic storms, solar flares and pre-fracture EM emissions obeys the same law. We show that these apparently different extreme events, which occur in the solar-terrestrial system, follow the same energy distribution function. The latter was originally derived for earthquake dynamics in the framework of nonextensive Tsallis statistics.

We describe a two-player non-local game, with a fixed small number of questions and answers, such that an ϵ-close to optimal strategy requires an entangled state of dimension 2Ω(ϵ−1/8). Our non-local game is inspired by the three-player non-local game of Ji, Leung and Vidick \cite{ji2018three}. It reduces the number of players from three to two, as well as the question and answer set sizes. Moreover, it provides an (arguably) elementary proof of the non-closure of the set of quantum correlations, based on embezzlement and self-testing. In contrast, previous proofs \cite{slofstra2019set, dykema2017non, musat2018non} involved representation theoretic machinery for finitely-presented groups and C∗-algebras.

We describe a new technique for obtaining Tsirelson bounds, which are upper bounds on the quantum value of a Bell inequality. Since quantum correlations do not allow signalling, we obtain a Tsirelson bound by maximizing over all no-signalling probability distributions. This maximization can be cast as a linear programme. In a setting where three parties, A, B and C, share an entangled quantum state of arbitrary dimension, we (i) bound the trade-off between AB's and AC's violation of the Clauser–Horne–Shimony–Holt inequality and (ii) demonstrate that forcing B and C to be classically correlated prevents A and B from violating certain Bell inequalities, relevant for interactive proof systems and cryptography.

In this paper, we systematically research periodic orbits of the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation (KSe). In order to overcome the difficulties in the establishment of one-dimensional symbolic dynamics in the nonlinear system, two basic periodic orbits can be used as basic building blocks to initialize cycle searching, and we use the variational method to numerically determine all the periodic orbits under parameter [Formula: see text] = 0.02991. The symbolic dynamics based on trajectory topology are very successful for classifying all short periodic orbits in the KSe. The current research can be conveniently adapted to the identification and classification of periodic orbits in other chaotic systems.
