Although it certainly comes with a unique set of challenges, the small number of projects carried out across Southeast Asia to date have demonstrated the efficacy that settlement archaeology holds for expanding on our traditional understandings of the region’s pre-industrial state formations. This discussion presents a brief historiography of the settlement archaeology projects that have focused on the “classical” states of Southeast Asia, and in doing so highlights the theories, methods, applications, and outcomes of these investigations. The need for more excavations to be carried out in the context of commoner habitation sites is underscored. အ ခြေ ေျ ခေ ထို င် ြေ င်း များ ခေ့ ော ော ရာ တွ င် စိ ေ် ခေါ် မှု များ စွာ ရှိ ခေ မ ည် ြြ စ် ခော် ေ ည်း၊ အခရှ့ခတာင် အာရှခေေတွင်ြြုေုြ်ေဲ့ကြေည့် ေုခတေေေုြ်ငေ်းအေည်းငယ်မှ ထွြ်ခြါ်ောခော နှစ်ေြ်တမ်း တွြ်ေျြ်မှုများေည် မမို့ြြမထွေ်းြားမီအခကြာင်းအ ရာများြို ြိုမိုေားေည်ေခောခြါြ်ောခစရေ် အတွြ် အခထာြ်အြူြြုေျြ်ရှိေည်။ ယေုခွွးခနွးတင်ြြမည့် အခြေေျခေထိုင်ြေင်းွိုင်ရာ ခရှးခောင်းေုခတေေခေ့ောမှုေ မိုင်းအြျဉ်းေျုြ်ေည် အခရှ့ခတာင်အာရှခေေရှိ ဂန္ထဝင်တွင်ခော မမို့ြြနိုင်ငံကြီးများြို အဓိြထားခေ့ောထားမြီး၊ ေီအိုရီများ၊ ေည်းေမ်းများ၊ ေြ်ခတွ့ခွာင်ရွြ် ေျြ်များနှင့် ထွြ်ခြါ်ောေည့် ရေေ်များြို တင်ြြမည်ြြစ်ြါေည်။ ခရှးခေတ်ောမာေ်အရြ်ေားများ ၏ အိမ်ယာအခြေေျခေထိုင်မှုများြို ခြာ်ထုတ်နိုင်ရေ်အတွြ် ထြ်မံေိုအြ်ခေမည့် တူးခြာ်ခေ့ောခရး ေုြ်ငေ်းများအခကြာင်းြို တင်ြြေွားမည်ြြစ်ြါေည်။

PDM Damped-Driven Oscillators: Exact Solvability, Classical States Crossings, and Self-Crossings

Within the standard Lagrangian and Hamiltonian setting, we consider a position-dependent mass (PDM) classical particle performing a damped driven oscillatory (DDO) motion under the influence of a conservative harmonic oscillator force field $V\left( x\right) =\frac{1}{2}\omega ^{2}Q\left( x\right) x^{2}$ and subjected to a Rayleigh dissipative force field $\mathcal{R}\left( x,\dot{x}\right) =\frac{1}{2}b\,m\left( x\right) \dot{x}^{2}$ in the presence of an external periodic (non-autonomous) force $F\left( t\right) =F_{\circ }\,\cos \left( \Omega t\right) $. Where, the correlation between the coordinate deformation $\sqrt{Q(x)}$ and the velocity deformation $\sqrt{m(x)}$ is governed by a point canonical transformation $q\left( x\right) =\int \sqrt{m\left( x\right) }dx=\sqrt{%Q\left( x\right) }x$. Two illustrative examples are used: a non-singular PDM-DDO, and a power-law PDM-DDO models. Classical-states $\{x(t),p(t)\}$ crossings are analysed and reported. Yet, we observed/reported that as a classical state $\{x_{i}(t),p_{i}(t)\}$ evolves in time it may cross itself at an earlier and/or a later time/s.

Generation of non-classical states of photons from a metal–dielectric interface: a novel architecture for quantum information processing

We show the possibility to generate photons in a certain class of non-classical states from a metal–dielectric interface using dipole emitters on the interface.

Daemonic Ergotropy: Generalised Measurements and Multipartite Settings

Recently, the concept of daemonic ergotropy has been introduced to quantify the maximum energy that can be obtained from a quantum system through an ancilla-assisted work extraction protocol based on information gain via projective measurements [G. Francica et al., npj Quant. Inf. 3, 12 (2018)]. We prove that quantum correlations are not advantageous over classical correlations if projective measurements are considered. We go beyond the limitations of the original definition to include generalised measurements and provide an example in which this allows for a higher daemonic ergotropy. Moreover, we propose a see-saw algorithm to find a measurement that attains the maximum work extraction. Finally, we provide a multipartite generalisation of daemonic ergotropy that pinpoints the influence of multipartite quantum correlations, and study it for multipartite entangled and classical states.
