Continuous gaussian measurements of the free boson CFT: A model for exactly solvable and detectable measurement-induced dynamics

Hybrid evolution protocols, composed of unitary dynamics and repeated, weak or projective measurements, give rise to new, intriguing quantum phenomena, including entanglement phase transitions and unconventional conformal invariance. Defying the complications imposed by the non-linear and stochastic nature of the measurement process, we introduce a scenario of measurement-induced many body evolution, which possesses an exact analytical solution: bosonic Gaussian measurements. The evolution features a competition between the continuous observation of linear boson operators and a free Hamiltonian, and it is characterized by a unique and exactly solvable covariance matrix. Within this framework, we then consider an elementary model for quantum criticality, the free boson conformal field theory, and investigate in which way criticality is modified under measurements. Depending on the measurement protocol, we distinguish three fundamental scenarios (a) enriched quantum criticality, characterized by a logarithmic entanglement growth with a floating prefactor, or the loss of criticality, indicated by an entanglement growth with either (b) an area-law or (c) a volume-law. For each scenario, we discuss the impact of imperfect measurements, which reduce the purity of the wavefunction and are equivalent to Markovian decoherence, and present a set of observables, e.g., real-space correlations, the relaxation time, and the entanglement structure, to classify the measurement-induced dynamics for both pure and mixed states. Finally, we present an experimental tomography scheme, which grants access to the density operator of the system by using the continuous measurement record only.

Solving Burgers’ equation with quantum computing

Computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations are a vital part of the design process in the aerospace industry. Although reliable CFD results can be obtained with turbulence models, direct numerical simulation of complex bodies in three spatial dimensions (3D) is impracticable due to the massive amount of computational elements. For instance, a 3D direct numerical simulation of a turbulent boundary-layer over the wing of a commercial jetliner that resolves all relevant length scales using a serial CFD solver on a modern digital computer would take approximately 750 million years or roughly 20% of the earth’s age. Over the past 25 years, quantum computers have become the object of great interest worldwide as powerful quantum algorithms have been constructed for several important, computationally challenging problems that provide enormous speed-up over the best-known classical algorithms. In this paper, we adapt a recently introduced quantum algorithm for partial differential equations to Burgers’ equation and develop a quantum CFD solver that determines its solutions. We used our quantum CFD solver to verify the quantum Burgers’ equation algorithm to find the flow solution when a shockwave is and is not present. The quantum simulation results were compared to: (i) an exact analytical solution for a flow without a shockwave; and (ii) the results of a classical CFD solver for flows with and without a shockwave. Excellent agreement was found in both cases, and the error of the quantum CFD solver was comparable to that of the classical CFD solver.

Simulation of Stress Concentrations in Notches

The fatigue life curves of materials are very sensitive to the magnitude of the stress amplitude. A small change or inaccuracy in the determination of the stress value causes large changes or inaccuracies in the calculated fatigue life estimate. Therefore, the use of computer simulations for fatigue life estimation requires a proper model development methodology. The paper is devoted to the problem of the modeling of components in notches using FEM. The modeling parameters significantly influencing the obtained stress results have been defined. Exact analytical solutions served as a benchmark for comparing the accuracy of the stress values obtained using FEM models. For the selected 2D and 3D notched components, diagrams were created for sensitivity analysis of the influence of the mesh element density at the root of the notch in correlation with the exact analytical solution. The findings from model building were applied to model the stress concentration at the root of a V-weld joint in a gas pipeline.

Generic Three-Parameter Wormhole Solution in Einstein-Scalar Field Theory

An exact analytical, spherically symmetric, three-parametric wormhole solution has been found in the Einstein-scalar field theory, which covers the several well-known wormhole solutions. It is assumed that the scalar field is massless and depends on the radial coordinate only. The relation between the full contraction of the Ricci tensor and Ricci scalar has been found as RαβRαβ=R2. The derivation of the Einstein field equations have been explicitly shown, and the exact analytical solution has been found in terms of the three constants of integration. The several wormhole solutions have been extracted for the specific values of the parameters. In order to explore the physical meaning of the integration constants, the solution has been compared with the previously obtained results. The curvature scalar has been determined for all particular solutions. Finally, it is shown that the general solution describes naked singularity characterized by the mass, the scalar quantity and the throat.

Метод определения параметров утечек в трубопроводах на основе гидродинамических моделей

It is known that on the basis of the pipeline non-stationary hydrodynamic model after identification of parameters included in it, it is possible to adequately reproduce the full-scale hydraulic characteristics of transported medium flow by resolving the primal problem of hydraulics, in particular, the primal problem of identifying leakage parameters. The numerical solution of the inverse problem, in contrast to the analytical solution, is usually reduced to a multiple solution of the primal problem. In the present work, the hydrodynamic mathematical model of a pipeline with two parameters that have been identified and fluid withdrawal in the set section is confined to differential equations of evolutionary type for medium cross-section pressure and mass flow. Based on the built partial analytical solutions of these equations, dependences have been obtained for calculation of pressure values in the oil pipeline operated in stationary mode with existing liquid withdrawal (leakage). Results of application of analytical solutions to the method of sensitivity functions in the inverse problem of identifying leakage parameters have been reviewed. Exact analytical solution (in implicit form) of the inverse problem has been obtained to make it possible to relate the location of the leak to readings of pressure sensors, to the pipeline and the transported fluid parameters. Известно, что на основе нестационарной гидродинамической модели трубопровода после идентификации входящих в нее параметров можно адекватно воспроизводить натурные гидравлические характеристики потока транспортируемой среды путем решения прямой задачи гидравлики, в частности, прямой задачи об утечке, когда местоположение и расход отбора заданы. Численное решение обратной задачи, в отличие от аналитического обычно сводится к многократному решению прямой задачи. В предлагаемой работе гидродинамическая математическая модель трубопровода с двумя параметрами, прошедшими идентификацию, и отбором жидкости в заданном сечении сведена к дифференциальным уравнениям эволюционного типа для среднего по сечению давления и массового расхода. На основе частных аналитических решений данных уравнений получены зависимости для определения давления в работающем в стационарном режиме нефтепроводе при наличии отбора (утечки). Рассмотрены результаты применения аналитических решений к методу функций чувствительности в обратной задаче утечки. Получено точное аналитическое решение (в неявной форме) обратной задачи, позволяющее связать местоположение утечки с показаниями датчиков давления, характеристиками трубопровода и транспортируемой среды.

STUDY OF SYSTEMS WITH ELECTRODYNAMIC AND ELASTIC CONNECTIONS UNDER HARMONIC EXCITATION

Purpose of the study is to analyze the operation of a mechanical system with the introduction of electrodynamic and elastic components into it to ensure that the operating modes of the latter go beyond the resonance modes. The tasks of the research involve the synthesis of the mathematical apparatus with the subsequent formation and analysis of the amplitude-frequency characteristics of the specified system. Research methods. The methodological basis of the work is the generalization and analysis of the known scientific results of the dynamics of systems in resonance modes and the use of a systematic approach. The analytical method and comparative analysis were used to form a scientific problem, form a goal and formulate research objectives. When creating empirical models, the main provisions of the dynamics of systems were used. The results of the study. Considering that the dynamic properties of the system depend on the presence or absence of an elastic connection of the transmission line, a combined system was subjected to research. Since it is impossible to obtain an exact analytical solution of the obtained system of nonlinear differential equations, the solution was carried out on an electronic model with harmonic excitation. Based on the results of studies on an electronic model, using the MatLab computer modeling system, it is difficult to establish the influence of the ratio of various parameters, with their possible variations in a large range, on the behavior of the system itself, since a question posed in this way will require a significant amount of computer time. Therefore, a study of the system with harmonious excitation in its linearized form was carried out. Conclusions. A mathematical model of the functioning of a system with electrodynamic and elastic coupling under harmonious excitation has been formed. On the basis of the research carried out, the amplitude-frequency characteristic of the system was built, with the help of which the correspondence of the results of the solution of the electronic (reference), built on the basis of MatLab, and the analytical models was established.

A decomposition solution of variable thickness absorber plate solar collectors with power law dependent thermal conductivity

We present a mathematical model of flat-plate solar collector whose thermal conductivity is a power law function of temperature, and non-dimensional length is governed by a profile index. The rectangular, convex and triangular shape absorber plates are obtained by changing the value of an index of non-dimensional length 0, ½ and 1, respectively. The energy equation governing the temperature of rectangular absorber plate is a non-singular-type equation, and convex and triangular cross-section absorber plate are two different singular type equations. One non-singular and two different singular value equations are solved separately by different operators, as explained separately in classical and modified Adomian decomposition method (ADM) theory respectively. The results obtained for the case of the rectangular, convex and triangular cross-section plate are validated by comparison with the exact analytical solution for special case as available in literature. The effects of various thermo-physical parameters such as power law thermal conductivity parameter, Biot number, aspect ratio, absorbed solar heat flux, overall heat transfer coefficient on the temperature distribution are analyzed.

On a Novel Approximate Solution to the Inhomogeneous Euler–Bernoulli Equation with an Application to Aeroelastics

This paper focuses on the development of an explicit finite difference numerical method for approximating the solution of the inhomogeneous fourth-order Euler–Bernoulli beam bending equation with velocity-dependent damping and second moment of area, mass and elastic modulus distribution varying with distance along the beam. We verify the method by comparing its predictions with an exact analytical solution of the homogeneous equation, we use the generalised Richardson extrapolation to show that the method is grid convergent and we extend the application of the Lax–Richtmyer stability criteria to higher-order schemes to ensure that it is numerically stable. Finally, we present three sets of computational experiments. The first set simulates the behaviour of the un-loaded beam and is validated against the analytic solution. The second set simulates the time-dependent dynamic behaviour of a damped beam of varying stiffness and mass distributions under arbitrary externally applied loading in an aeroelastic analysis setting by approximating the inhomogeneous equation using the finite difference method derived here. We compare the third set of simulations of the steady-state deflection with the results of static beam bending experiments conducted at Cranfield University. Overall, we developed an accurate, stable and convergent numerical framework for solving the inhomogeneous Euler–Bernoulli equation over a wide range of boundary conditions. Aircraft manufacturers are starting to consider configurations with increased wing aspect ratios and reduced structural weight which lead to more slender and flexible designs. Aeroelastic analysis now plays a central role in the design process. Efficient computational tools for the prediction of the deformation of wings under external loads are in demand and this has motivated the work carried out in this paper.

Darcy Brinkman Equations for Hybrid Dusty Nanofluid Flow with Heat Transfer and Mass Transpiration

In the current work, we have investigated the flow past a semi-infinite porous solid media, after presenting a similarity transformation, governing equations mapped to a system of non-linear PDE. The flow of a dusty fluid and heat transfer through a porous medium have few applications, viz., the polymer processing unit of a geophysical, allied area, and chemical engineering plant. Further, we had the option to get an exact analytical solution for the velocity to the equation that is non-linear. The highlight of the current work is the flow of hybrid dusty nanofluid due to Darcy porous media through linear thermal radiation with the assistance of an analytical process. The hybrid dusty nanofluid has significant features improving the heat transfer process and is extensively developed in manufacturing industrial uses. It was found that the basic similarity equations admit two phases for both stretching/shrinking surfaces. The existence of computation on velocity and temperature profile is presented graphically for different estimations of various physical parameters.
