Particle acceleration and radiation reaction in a strongly magnetized rotating dipole
Abridged. Neutron stars are surrounded by ultra-relativistic particles efficiently accelerated by ultra strong electromagnetic fields. However so far, no numerical simulations were able to handle such extreme regimes of very high Lorentz factors and magnetic field strengths. It is the purpose of this paper to study particle acceleration and radiation reaction damping in a rotating magnetic dipole with realistic field strengths typical of millisecond and young pulsars as well as of magnetars. To this end, we implemented an exact analytical particle pusher including radiation reaction in the reduced Landau-Lifshitz approximation where the electromagnetic field is assumed constant in time and uniform in space during one time step integration. The position update is performed using a velocity Verlet method. We extensively tested our algorithm against time independent background electromagnetic fields like the electric drift in cross electric and magnetic fields and the magnetic drift and mirror motion in a dipole. Eventually, we apply it to realistic neutron star environments. We investigated particle acceleration and the impact of radiation reaction for electrons, protons and iron nuclei plunged around millisecond pulsars, young pulsars and magnetars, comparing it to situations without radiation reaction. We found that the maximum Lorentz factor depends on the particle species but only weakly on the neutron star type. Electrons reach energies up to $\gamma_e \approx 10^8-10^9$ whereas protons energies up to $\gamma_p \approx 10^5-10^6$ and iron up to $\gamma \approx 10^4-10^5$. While protons and irons are not affected by radiation reaction, electrons are drastically decelerated, reducing their maximum Lorentz factor by 2 orders of magnitude. We also found that the radiation reaction limit trajectories fairly agree with the reduced Landau-Lifshitz approximation in almost all cases.

Selectivity of Protein Interactions Stimulated by Terahertz Signals
It has been established that Terahertz (THz) band signals can interact with biomolecules through resonant modes. Specifically, of interest here, protein activation. Our research goal is to show how directing the mechanical signaling inside protein molecules using THz signals can control changes in their structure and activate associated biochemical and biomechanical events. To establish that, we formulate a selectivity metric that quantifies the system performance and captures the capability of the nanoantenna to induce a conformational change in the desired protein molecule/population. The metric provides a score between -1 and 1 that indicates the degree of control we have over the system to achieve targeted protein interactions. To develop the selectivity measure, we first use the Langevin stochastic equation driven by an external force to model the protein behavior. We then determine the probability of protein folding by computing the steady-state energy of the driven protein and then generalize our model to account for protein populations. Our numerical analysis results indicate that a maximum selectivity score is attained when only the targeted population experiences a folding behavior due to the impinging THz signal. From the achieved selectivity values, we conclude that the system response not only depends on the resonant frequency but also on the system controlling parameters namely, the nanoantenna force, the damping constant, and the abundance of each protein population. The presented work sheds light on the potential associated with the electromagnetic-based control of protein networks, which could lead to a plethora of applications in the medical field ranging from bio-sensing to targeted therapy.

Revealing the drag instability in one-fluid nonideal MHD simulations of a 1D isothermal C-shock
C-type shocks are believed to be ubiquitous in turbulent molecular clouds thanks to ambipolar diffusion. We investigate whether the drag instability in 1D isothermal C-shocks, inferred from the local linear theory of Gu & Chen, can appear in non-ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations. Two C-shock models (with narrow and broad steady-state shock widths) are considered to represent the typical environment of star-forming clouds. The ionization-recombination equilibrium is adopted for the one-fluid approach. In the 1D simulation, the inflow gas is continuously perturbed by a sinusoidal density fluctuation with a constant frequency. The perturbations clearly grow after entering the C-shock region until they start being damped at the transition to the postshock region. We show that the profiles of a predominant Fourier mode extracted locally from the simulated growing perturbation match those of the growing mode derived from the linear analysis. Moreover, the local growth rate and wave frequency derived from the predominant mode generally agree with those from the linear theory. Therefore, we confirm the presence of the drag instability in simulated 1D isothermal C-shocks. We also explore the nonlinear behavior of the instability by imposing larger-amplitude perturbations to the simulation. We find that the drag instability is subject to wave steepening, leading to saturated perturbation growth. Issues concerning local analysis, nonlinear effects, one-fluid approach, and astrophysical applications are discussed.

Theoretical model of a new type tunneling transistor
A tunneling transistor without heterojunction as a theoretical design, or more precisely controlled electron current transmission by barrier potential, is under consideration. The electrons from the conduction band of the source tunnel through the forbidden gap $E_g$ of the channel to the conduction band of the drain. The tunneling current $J$ calculations made at helium temperature for the example InAs-InAs-InAs, Au-GaSe-Au and Al-AlN-Al structures show that for a constant source-drain voltage, $V_C$, of several mV, changes in the gate voltage, $V_G$, applied to the channel within the voltage range of 0 - $E_g/$2e change $J$ by even 10 orders of magnitude. Unlike the existing solutions such as tunnel field-effect-transistor (TFET), the proposed device uses the change of $V_G$ (gate voltage), i.e. the change of the electrostatic potential in the channel, to modify the imaginary wave vector $k_z$ of tunnel current electrons. Consequently, the gate voltage controls the damping force of the electrons wave functions and thus the magnitude of the tunneling current, $J$. The effect of increasing temperature, T, on $J(V_G)$ relation was also tested. It was found that only in structures with a wide forbidden channel gap this effect is insignificant (at least up to T=300 K).

Statistical distribution of HI 21cm intervening absorbers as potential cosmic acceleration probes
Damped Lyman-$\alpha$ Absorber (DLA), or HI 21cm Absorber (H21A), is an important probe to model-independently measure the acceleration of spectroscopic velocity ($v_\mathrm{S}$) via the Sandage-Loeb (SL) effect. Confined by the shortage of DLAs and Background Radio Sources (BRSs) with adequate information, the detectable amount of DLAs is ambiguous in the bulk of previous work. After differing the acceleration of scale factor ($\ddot{a}$) from the first order time derivative of spectroscopic velocity ($\dot{v}_\mathrm{S}$), we make a statistical investigation of the amount of potential DLAs in the most of this paper. Using Kernel Density Estimation (KDE) to depict general redshift distributions of BRSs, observed DLAs and a DLA detection rate with different limitations (1.4GHz flux, HI column density and spin temperature), we provide fitted multi-Gaussian expressions of the three components and their 1$\sigma$ regions by bootstrap, with a proportional constant of H21As in detected DLAs, leading to the measurable number predictions of H21As for FAST, ASKAP and SKA1-Mid in HI absorption blind survey. In our most optimistic condition ($F_\mathrm{1.4GHz}$>10mJy, $N_\mathrm{HI}>2\times10^{20}\mathrm{cm^{-2}}$ and $T_\mathrm{S}$>500K), the FAST, AKSAP and SKA1-Mid would probe about 80, 500 and 600 H21As respectively.

Quintom fields from chiral anisotropic cosmology
In this paper we present an analysis of a chiral anisotropic cosmological scenario from the perspective of quintom fields. In this setup quintessence and phantom fields interact in a non-standard (chiral) way within an anisotropic Bianchi type I background. We present our examination from two fronts: classical and quantum approaches. In the classical program we find analytical solutions given by a particular choice of the emerged relevant parameters. Remarkably, we present an explanation of the ''big-bang'' singularity by means of a ''big-bounce''. Moreover, isotropization is in fact reached as the time evolves. On the quantum counterpart the Wheeler-DeWitt equation is analytically solved for various instances given by the same parameter space from the classical study, and we also include the factor ordering $\rm Q$. Having solutions in this scheme we compute the probability density, which is in effect damped as the volume function and the scalar fields evolve; and it also tends towards a flat FLRW framework when the factor ordering constant $\rm Q \ll 0$. This result might indicate that for a fixed set of parameters, the anisotropies quantum-mechanically vanish for very small values of the parameter $\rm Q$. Finally, classical and quantum solutions reduce to their flat FLRW counterparts when the anisotropies vanish.

Effects of a Pre-inflationary de Sitter Bounce on the Primordial Gravitational Waves in $f(R)$ Gravity Theories
In this work we examine the effects of a pre-inflationary de Sitter bounce on the energy spectrum of the primordial gravitational waves. Specifically we assume that the Universe is described by several evolution patches, starting with a de Sitter pre-inflationary bounce which is followed by an quasi-de Sitter slow-roll inflationary era, followed by a constant equation of state parameter abnormal reheating era, which is followed by the radiation and matter domination eras and the late-time acceleration eras. The bounce and the inflationary era can be realized by vacuum $f(R)$ gravity and the abnormal reheating and the late-time acceleration eras by the synergy of $f(R)$ gravity and the prefect matter fluids present. Using well-known reconstruction techniques we find which $f(R)$ gravity can realize each evolution patch, except from the matter and radiation domination eras which are realized by the corresponding matter fluids. Accordingly, we calculate the damping factor of the primordial de Sitter bounce, and as we show, the signal can be detected by only one gravitational wave future experiment, in contrast to the case in which the bounce is absent. We discuss in detail the consequences of our results and the future perspectives.

Switching Dynamics of Shallow Arches
This paper presents an analytical method to predict the delayed switching dynamics of nonlinear shallow arches while switching from one state to another state for different loading cases. We study an elastic arch subject to static loading and time-dependent loading separately. In particular, we consider a time-dependent loading that evolves linearly with time at a constant rate. In both cases, we observed that the switching does not occur abruptly when the load exceeds the static switching load, rather the time scale of the dynamics drastically slows down; hence there is a delay in switching. For time-independent loading, this delay increases as the applied load approach the static switching load. Whereas for a time-dependent loading, the delay is proportional to the rate of the applied load. Other than the loading parameters, the delay switching time also depends on the local curvature of the force-displacement function at the static switching point and the damping coefficient of the arch material. The delay switching occurs due to the flatness of the energy curve at static switching load. Therefore, we linearize the arch near the static switching point and get a reduced nonlinear ordinary differential equation to study the switching dynamics of the arch. This reduced equation allows us to derive analytical expressions for the delay switching time of the. We further compare the derived analytical results with the numerical solutions and observed a good agreement between them. Finally, the derived analytical formulae can be used to design arches for self-offloading dynamic footwear for diabetics.

Pion dynamics in a soft-wall AdS-QCD model
Pseudo-Goldstone modes appear in many physical systems and display robust universal features. First, their mass $m$ obeys the so-called Gell-Mann-Oakes-Renner (GMOR) relation $f^2\,m^2=H\,\bar{\sigma}$, with $f$ the Goldstone stiffness, $H$ the explicit breaking scale and $\bar{\sigma}$ the spontaneous condensate. More recently, it has been shown that their damping $\Omega$ is constrained to follow the relation $\Omega=m^2 D_\varphi$, where $D_\varphi$ is the Goldstone diffusivity in the purely spontaneous phase. Pions are the most paradigmatic example of pseudo-Goldstone modes and they are related to chiral symmetry breaking in QCD. In this work, we consider a bottom-up soft-wall AdS-QCD model with broken ${\rm{SU}}(2)_L \times {\rm{SU}}(2)_R$ symmetry and we study the nature of the associated pseudo-Goldstone modes -- the pions. In particular, we perform a detailed investigation of their dispersion relation in presence of dissipation, of the role of the explicit breaking induced by the quark masses and of the dynamics near the critical point. Taking advantage of the microscopic information provided by the holographic model, we give quantitative predictions for all the coefficients appearing in the effective description. In particular, we estimate the finite temperature behavior of the kinetic parameter $\mathfrak{r^2}$ defined as the ration between the Goldstone diffusivity $D_\varphi$ and the pion attenuation constant $D_A$. Interestingly, we observe important deviations from the value $\mathfrak{r^2}=3/4$ computed in chiral perturbation theory in the limit of zero temperature.

Robust Adaptive Prescribed-Time Control for Parameter-Varying Nonlinear Systems
It is an interesting open problem to achieve adaptive prescribed-time control for strict-feedback systems with unknown and fast or even abrupt time-varying parameters. In this paper we present a solution with the aid of several design and analysis innovations. First, by using a spatiotemporal transformation, we convert the original system operational over finite time interval into one operational over infinite time interval, allowing for Lyapunov asymptotic design and recasting prescribed-time stabilization on finite time domain into asymptotic stabilization on infinite time domain. Second, to deal with time-varying parameters with unknown variation boundaries, we use congelation of variables method and establish three separate adaptive laws for parameter estimation (two for the unknown parameters in the feedback path and one for the unknown parameter in the input path), in doing so we utilize two tuning functions to eliminate over-parametrization. Third, to achieve asymptotic convergence for the transformed system, we make use of nonlinear damping design and non-regressor-based design to cope with time-varying perturbations, and finally, we derive the prescribed-time control scheme from the asymptotic controller via inverse temporal-scale transformation. The boundedness of all closed-loop signals and control input is proved rigorously through Lyapunov analysis, squeeze theorem, and two novel lemmas built upon the method of variation of constants. Numerical simulation verifies the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Possible enhancement of the superconducting $T_c$ due to sharp Kohn-like soft phonon anomalies
Phonon softening is a ubiquitous phenomenon in condensed matter systems which is often associated with charge density wave (CDW) instabilities and anharmonicity. The interplay between phonon softening, CDW and superconductivity is a topic of intense debate. In this work, the effects of anomalous soft phonon instabilities on superconductivity are studied based on a recently developed theoretical framework that accounts for phonon damping and softening within the Migdal-Eliashberg theory. Model calculations show that the phonon softening in the form of a sharp dip in the phonon dispersion relation, either acoustic or optical (including the case of Kohn-type anomalies typically associated with CDW), can cause a manifold increase of the electron-phonon coupling constant $\lambda$. This, under certain conditions, which are consistent with the concept of optimal frequency introduced by Bergmann and Rainer, can produce a large increase of the superconducting transition temperature $T_c$. In summary, our results suggest the possibility of reaching high-temperature superconductivity by exploiting soft phonon anomalies restricted in momentum space.

Understanding Sparse Feature Updates in Deep Networks using Iterative Linearisation
Larger and deeper networks generalise well despite their increased capacity to overfit. Understanding why this happens is theoretically and practically important. One recent approach looks at the infinitely wide limits of such networks and their corresponding kernels. However, these theoretical tools cannot fully explain finite networks as the empirical kernel changes significantly during gradient-descent-based training in contrast to infinite networks. In this work, we derive an iterative linearised training method as a novel empirical tool to further investigate this distinction, allowing us to control for sparse (i.e. infrequent) feature updates and quantify the frequency of feature learning needed to achieve comparable performance. We justify iterative linearisation as an interpolation between a finite analog of the infinite width regime, which does not learn features, and standard gradient descent training, which does. Informally, we also show that it is analogous to a damped version of the Gauss-Newton algorithm -- a second-order method. We show that in a variety of cases, iterative linearised training surprisingly performs on par with standard training, noting in particular how much less frequent feature learning is required to achieve comparable performance. We also show that feature learning is essential for good performance. Since such feature learning inevitably causes changes in the NTK kernel, we provide direct negative evidence for the NTK theory, which states the NTK kernel remains constant during training.

(Non)-penalized Multilevel methods for non-uniformly log-concave distributions
We study and develop multilevel methods for the numerical approximation of a log-concave probability $\pi$ on $\mathbb{R}^d$, based on (over-damped) Langevin diffusion. In the continuity of \cite{art:egeapanloup2021multilevel} concentrated on the uniformly log-concave setting, we here study the procedure in the absence of the uniformity assumption. More precisely, we first adapt an idea of \cite{art:DalalyanRiouKaragulyan} by adding a penalization term to the potential to recover the uniformly convex setting. Such approach leads to an \textit{$\varepsilon$-complexity} of the order $\varepsilon^{-5} \pi(|.|^2)^{3} d$ (up to logarithmic terms). Then, in the spirit of \cite{art:gadat2020cost}, we propose to explore the robustness of the method in a weakly convex parametric setting where the lowest eigenvalue of the Hessian of the potential $U$ is controlled by the function $U(x)^{-r}$ for $r \in (0,1)$. In this intermediary framework between the strongly convex setting ($r=0$) and the ``Laplace case'' ($r=1$), we show that with the help of the control of exponential moments of the Euler scheme, we can adapt some fundamental properties for the efficiency of the method. In the ``best'' setting where $U$ is ${\mathcal{C}}^3$ and $U(x)^{-r}$ control the largest eigenvalue of the Hessian, we obtain an $\varepsilon$-complexity of the order $c_{\rho,\delta}\varepsilon^{-2-\rho} d^{1+\frac{\rho}{2}+(4-\rho+\delta) r}$ for any $\rho>0$ (but with a constant $c_{\rho,\delta}$ which increases when $\rho$ and $\delta$ go to $0$).

The Power of Preconditioning in Overparameterized Low-Rank Matrix Sensing
We propose $\textsf{ScaledGD($\lambda$)}$, a preconditioned gradient descent method to tackle the low-rank matrix sensing problem when the true rank is unknown, and when the matrix is possibly ill-conditioned. Using overparametrized factor representations, $\textsf{ScaledGD($\lambda$)}$ starts from a small random initialization, and proceeds by gradient descent with a specific form of damped preconditioning to combat bad curvatures induced by overparameterization and ill-conditioning. At the expense of light computational overhead incurred by preconditioners, $\textsf{ScaledGD($\lambda$)}$ is remarkably robust to ill-conditioning compared to vanilla gradient descent ($\textsf{GD}$) even with overprameterization. Specifically, we show that, under the Gaussian design, $\textsf{ScaledGD($\lambda$)}$ converges to the true low-rank matrix at a constant linear rate after a small number of iterations that scales only logarithmically with respect to the condition number and the problem dimension. This significantly improves over the convergence rate of vanilla $\textsf{GD}$ which suffers from a polynomial dependency on the condition number. Our work provides evidence on the power of preconditioning in accelerating the convergence without hurting generalization in overparameterized learning.

Nonlocal Nonholonomic Source Seeking Despite Local Extrema
In this paper, we investigate the problem of source seeking with a unicycle in the presence of local extrema. Our study is motivated by the fact that most of the existing source seeking methods follow the gradient direction of the signal function and thus only lead to local convergence into a neighborhood of the nearest local extremum. So far, only a few studies present ideas on how to overcome local extrema in order to reach a global extremum. None of them apply to second-order (force- and torque-actuated) nonholonomic vehicles. We consider what is possibly the simplest conceivable algorithm for such vehicles, which employs a constant torque and a translational/surge force in proportion to an approximately differentiated measured signal. We show that the algorithm steers the unicycle through local extrema towards a global extremum. In contrast to the previous extremum-seeking studies, in our analysis we do not approximate the gradient of the objective function but of the objective function's local spatial average. Such a spatially averaged objective function is expected to have fewer critical points than the original objective function. Under suitable assumptions on the averaged objective function and on sufficiently strong translational damping, we show that the control law achieves practical uniform asymptotic stability and robustness to sufficiently weak measurement noise and disturbances to the force and torque inputs.

A blue depression in the optical spectra of M dwarfs
A blue depression is found in the spectra of M dwarfs from 4000 to 4500A. This depression shows an increase toward lower temperatures though is particularly sensitive to gravity and metallicity. It is the single most sensitive feature in the optical spectra of M dwarfs. The depression appears as centered on the neutral calcium resonance line at 4227A and leads to nearby features being weaker by about two orders of magnitude than predicted. We consider a variety of possible causes for the depression including temperature, gravity, metallicity, dust, damping constants, and atmospheric stratification. We also consider relevant molecular opacities which might be the cause identifying AlH, SiH, and NaH in the spectral region. However, none of these solutions are satisfactory. In the absence of a more accurate determination of the broadening of the calcium line perturbed by molecular hydrogen, we find a promising empirical fit using a modified Lorentzian line profile for the calcium resonance line. Such fits provide a simplistic line-broadening description for this calcium resonance line and potentially other un-modelled resonance lines in cool high-pressure atmospheres. Thus we claim the most plausible cause of the blue depression in the optical spectra of M dwarfs is a lack of appropriate treatment of line broadening for atomic calcium. The broad wings of the calcium resonance line develop at temperatures below about 4000K and are analogous to the neutral sodium and potassium features which dominate the red optical spectra of L dwarfs.

Thickness-dependent magnetic properties in Pt[CoNi]n multilayers with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy
We systematically investigated the Ni and Co thickness-dependent perpendicular magnetic anisotropy (PMA) coefficient, magnetic domain structures, and magnetization dynamics of Pt(5 nm)/[Co(t_Co nm)/Ni(t_Ni nm)]5/Pt(1 nm) multilayers by combining the four standard magnetic characterization techniques. The magnetic-related hysteresis loops obtained from the field-dependent magnetization M and anomalous Hall resistivity (AHR) \r{ho}_xy found that the two serial multilayers with t_Co = 0.2 and 0.3 nm have the optimum PMA coefficient K_U well as the highest coercivity H_C at the Ni thickness t_Ni = 0.6 nm. Additionally, the magnetic domain structures obtained by Magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE) microscopy also significantly depend on the thickness and K_U of the films. Furthermore, the thickness-dependent linewidth of ferromagnetic resonance is inversely proportional to K_U and H_C, indicating that inhomogeneous magnetic properties dominate the linewidth. However, the intrinsic Gilbert damping constant determined by a linear fitting of frequency-dependent linewidth does not depend on Ni thickness and K_U. Our results could help promote the PMA [Co/Ni] multilayer applications in various spintronic and spin-orbitronic devices.

Flow-induced oscillations of pitching swept wings: Stability boundary, vortex dynamics and force partitioning
We experimentally study the aeroelastic instability boundaries and three-dimensional vortex dynamics of pitching swept wings, with the sweep angle ranging from 0 to 25 degrees. The structural dynamics of the wings are simulated using a cyber-physical control system. With a constant flow speed, a prescribed high inertia and a small structural damping, we show that the system undergoes a subcritical Hopf bifurcation to large-amplitude limit-cycle oscillations (LCOs) for all the sweep angles. The onset of LCOs depends largely on the static characteristics of the wing. The saddle-node point is found to change non-monotonically with the sweep angle, which we attribute to the non-monotonic power transfer between the ambient fluid and the elastic mount. An optimal sweep angle is observed to enhance the power extraction performance and thus promote LCOs and destabilize the aeroelastic system. The frequency response of the system reveals a structural-hydrodynamic oscillation mode for wings with relatively high sweep angles. Force, moment, and three-dimensional flow structures measured using multi-layer stereoscopic particle image velocimetry are analyzed to explain the differences in power extraction for different swept wings. Finally, we employ a physics-based Force and Moment Partitioning Method (FMPM) to quantitatively correlate the three-dimensional vortex dynamics with the resultant unsteady aerodynamic moment.

Exponential stability of Euler-Bernoulli beam under boundary controls in rotation and angular velocity
This paper addresses the analysis of a boundary feedback system involving a non-homogeneous Euler-Bernoulli beam governed by the equation $m(x)u_{tt}+\mu(x)u_{t}$$+\left(r(x)u_{xx}\right)_{xx}=0$, subject to the initial $u(x,0)=u_0(x)$, $u_t(x,0)=v_0(x)$ and boundary conditions $u(0,t)=0$, $\left (-r(x)u_{xx}(x,t)\right )_{x=0}=-k^{-}_r u_{x}(0,t)-k^{-}_a u_{xt}(0,t)$, $u(\ell,t)=0$, $\left (-r(x)u_{xx}(x,t)\right )_{x=\ell}=-k^{+}_r u_{x}(\ell,t)-k^{+}_a u_{xt}(\ell,t)$, with boundary control at both ends resulting from the rotation and angular velocity. The approach proposed in this study relies on the utilization of regular weak solutions, energy identity, and a physically motivated Lyapunov function. By imposing natural assumptions concerning physical parameters and other inputs, which ensure the existence of a regular weak solution, we successfully derive a uniform exponential decay estimate for the system's energy. The decay rate constant featured in this estimate is solely dependent on the physical and geometric properties of the beam. These properties encompass crucial parameters such as the viscous external damping coefficient $\mu(x)$, as well as the boundary springs $k^{-}_r,k^+_r $ and dampers $k^{-}_a,k^+_a$. To illustrate the practical effectiveness of our theoretical findings, numerical examples are provided. These examples serve to demonstrate the applicability and relevance of our derived results in real-world scenarios.

Exciton-polaritons in CsPbBr$_3$ crystals revealed by optical reflectivity in high magnetic fields and two-photon spectroscopy
Cesium lead bromide (CsPbBr$_3$) is a representative material of the emerging class of lead halide perovskite semiconductors that possess remarkable optoelectronic properties. Its optical properties in the vicinity of the band gap energy are greatly contributed by excitons, which form exciton-polaritons due to strong light-matter interactions. We examine exciton-polaritons in solution-grown CsPbBr$_3$ crystals by means of circularly-polarized reflection spectroscopy measured in high magnetic fields up to 60 T. The excited 2P exciton state is measured by two-photon absorption. Comprehensive modeling and analysis provides detailed quantitative information about the exciton-polariton parameters: exciton binding energy of 32.5 meV, oscillator strength characterized by longitudinal-tranverse splitting of 5.3 meV, damping of 6.7 meV, reduced exciton mass of $0.18 m_0$, exciton diamagnetic shift of 1.6 $\mu$eV/T$^2$, and exciton Land\'e factor $g_X=+2.35$. We show that the exciton states can be well described within a hydrogen-like model with an effective dielectric constant of 8.7. From the measured exciton longitudinal-transverse splitting we evaluate the Kane energy of $E_p=15$ eV, which is in reasonable agreement with values of $11.8-12.5$ eV derived from the carrier effective masses.

Impact of bulk viscosity on the post-merger gravitational-wave signal from merging neutron stars
In the violent post-merger of binary neutron-star mergers strong oscillations are present that impact the emitted gravitational-wave (GW) signal. The frequencies, temperatures and densities involved in these oscillations allow for violations of the chemical equilibrium promoted by weak-interactions, thus leading to a nonzero bulk viscosity that can impact dynamics and GW signals. We present the first simulations of binary neutron-star mergers employing the self-consistent and second-order formulation of the equations of relativistic hydrodynamics for dissipative fluids proposed by M\"uller, Israel and Stewart. With the spirit of obtaining a first assessment of the impact of bulk viscosity on the structure and radiative efficiency of the merger remnant we adopt a simplified approach for the viscosity, which we assume to be constant within the stars, but which we vary in strength for different binaries, thus exploring the possible behaviours and obtaining strict upper limits. In this way, we find that large bulk viscosities are very effective at damping the collision-and-bounce oscillations that characterize the dynamics of the stellar cores right after the merger. As a result, the $m=2$ deformations and the gravitational-radiation efficiency of the remnant are considerably reduced, with qualitative and quantitative changes in the post-merger spectrum that can be large in the case of the most extreme configurations. Overall, our crude but self-consistent results indicate that bulk viscosity reduces the energy radiated in GWs by $\lesssim 1\%$ in the (realistic) scenario of small viscosity, and by $\lesssim 15\%$ in the (unrealistic) scenario of large viscosity.

Non-ideal magnetohydrodynamics on a moving mesh I: Ohmic and ambipolar diffusion
Especially in cold and high-density regions, the assumptions of ideal magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) can break down, making first order non-ideal terms such as Ohmic and ambipolar diffusion as well as the Hall effect important. In this study we present a new numerical scheme for the first two resistive terms, which we implement in the moving-mesh code AREPO using the single-fluid approximation combined with a new gradient estimation technique based on a least-squares fit per interface. Through various test calculations including the diffusion of a magnetic peak, the structure of a magnetic C-shock, and the damping of an Alfv\'en wave, we show that we can achieve an accuracy comparable to the state-of-the-art code ATHENA++. We apply the scheme to the linear growth of the magnetorotational instability and find good agreement with the analytical growth rates. By simulating the collapse of a magnetised cloud with constant magnetic diffusion, we show that the new scheme is stable even for large density contrasts. Thanks to the Lagrangian nature of the moving mesh method the new scheme is thus well suited for intended future applications where a high resolution in the dense cores of collapsing protostellar clouds needs to be achieved. In a forthcoming work we will extend the scheme to the Hall effect.

The cost of solving linear differential equations on a quantum computer: fast-forwarding to explicit resource counts
How well can quantum computers simulate classical dynamical systems? There is increasing effort in developing quantum algorithms to efficiently simulate dynamics beyond Hamiltonian simulation, but so far exact resource estimates are not known. In this work, we provide two significant contributions. First, we give the first non-asymptotic computation of the cost of encoding the solution to general linear ordinary differential equations into quantum states -- either the solution at a final time, or an encoding of the whole history within a time interval. Second, we show that the stability properties of a large class of classical dynamics allow their fast-forwarding, making their quantum simulation much more time-efficient. From this point of view, quantum Hamiltonian dynamics is a boundary case that does not allow this form of stability-induced fast-forwarding. In particular, we find that the history state can always be output with complexity $O(T^{1/2})$ for any stable linear system. We present a range of asymptotic improvements over state-of-the-art in various regimes. We illustrate our results with a family of dynamics including linearized collisional plasma problems, coupled, damped, forced harmonic oscillators and dissipative nonlinear problems. In this case the scaling is quadratically improved, and leads to significant reductions in the query counts after inclusion of all relevant constant prefactors.

Coherent Tunneling and Strain Sensitivity of an All Heusler Alloy Magnetic Tunneling Junction: A First-Principles Study
Half-metallic Co-based full Heusler alloys have captured considerable attention of the researchers in the realm of spintronic applications, owing to their remarkable characteristics such as exceptionally high spin polarization at Fermi level, ultra-low Gilbert damping, and high Curie temperature. In this comprehensive study, employing density functional theory, we delve into the stability and electron transport properties of a magnetic tunneling junction (MTJ) comprising a Co$_2$MnSb/HfIrSb interface. Utilizing a standard model given by Julliere, we estimate the tunnel magnetoresistance (TMR) ratio of this heterojunction under external electric field, revealing a significantly high TMR ratio (500%) that remains almost unaltered for electric field magnitudes up to 0.5 V/A. In-depth investigation of K-dependent majority spin transmissions uncovers the occurrence of coherent tunneling for the Mn-Mn/Ir interface, particularly when a spacer layer beyond a certain thickness is employed. Additionally, we explore the impact of bi-axial strain on the MTJ by varying the in-plane lattice constants between -4% and +4%. Our spin-dependent transmission calculations demonstrate that the Mn-Mn/Ir interface manifests strain-sensitive transmission properties under both compressive and tensile strain, and yields a remarkable three-fold increase in majority spin transmission under tensile strain conditions. These compelling outcomes place the Co2MnSb/HfIrSb junction among the highly promising candidates for nanoscale spintronic devices, emphasizing the potential significance of the system in the advancement of the field.

Domain wall dynamics driven by a transient laser-induced magnetisation
One of the fundamental effects of the laser-matter interaction is the appearance of an induced transient magnetisation. While the underlying phenomena differ in their microscopic origin and cover a diverse array of materials, here we address a fundamental question about the possibility to drive domain-wall dynamics on the femtosecond timescale of the exchange interactions solely by longitudinal changes of the magnetic moments. We verify the viability of this hypothesis in the case of a generic ferromagnetic system described in the framework of the high-temperature micromagnetic model based on the Landau-Lifshitz-Bloch equation. The effect is investigated in a 1D model at constant temperature as well as in a full micromagnetic framework considering realistic laser-induced heating. Our results demonstrate that domain-wall deformation in a femtosecond timeframe leads to the displacement of the wall on a larger timescale up to nanoseconds accompanied by a release of excess energy in the form of spin waves. The domain wall deformation leads to the appearance of a magnetisation gradient across the wall which promotes the motion towards the region consisting of spins with decreased magnetisation length. The total displacement is enhanced at larger temperatures and smaller damping due to an increase of the longitudinal relaxation time which ensures the longer presence of the induced magnetisation gradient. We also demonstrate an enhanced domain wall motion in the presence of the Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction attributed to augmented magnonic torques. Our results are important towards the understanding of ultrafast magnetism phenomena on the sub-picosecond timescale.

Controlled Quasi-Latitudinal Solutions for ultra-fast Spin-Torque Precessional Magnetization Switching
The aim of the paper is to present a novel class of time-dependent controls to realize ultra-fast magnetization switching in nanomagnets driven by spin-torques produced by spin-polarized electric currents. Magnetization dynamics in such systems is governed by the Landau-Lifshitz-Slonczewski equation which describes the precessional motion of (dimensionless) magnetization vector on the unit-sphere. The relevant case of nanoparticles with uniaxial anisotropy having in-plane easy and intermediate axes and out-of-plane hard axis is considered. By exploiting the characteristic smallness of damping and spin-torque intensity, the aforementioned controls are constructed via suitable perturbative tools in a way to realise approximate \emph{latitudinal solutions} (i.e. motions on a sphere in which the out-of-plane magnetization component stays constant) with the effect to fast ``switch'' the system from one stationary state to another. The possibility to keep a (``small'') bounded value of the out-of-plane coordinate throughout this process of ``transfer'', turns out to be advantageous in the applications as it sensibly reduces the post-switching relaxation oscillations that may cause the failure of switching in real samples. Further relevant quantitative results on the behaviour of the solutions during the pre- and post-switching stages (termed ``expulsion'' and ``attraction'', respectively), are given as a byproduct. A selection of validating numerical experiments is presented alongside the corresponding theoretical results.

A Fast second-order solver for stiff multifluid dust and gas hydrodynamics
We present MDIRK: a Multifluid second-order Diagonally-Implicit Runge-Kutta method to study momentum transfer between gas and an arbitrary number ($N$) of dust species. The method integrates the equations of hydrodynamics with an Implicit Explicit (IMEX) scheme and solves the stiff source term in the momentum equation with a diagonally-implicit asymptotically stable Runge-Kutta method (DIRK). In particular, DIRK admits a simple analytical solution that can be evaluated with $\mathcal{O}(N)$ operations, instead of standard matrix inversion, which is $\mathcal{O}(N)^3$. Therefore the analytical solution significantly reduces the computational cost of the multifluid method, making it suitable for studying the dynamics of systems with particle-size distributions. We demonstrate that the method conserves momentum to machine precision and converges to the correct equilibrium solution with constant external acceleration. To validate our numerical method we present a series of simple hydrodynamic tests, including damping of sound waves, dusty shocks, a multi-fluid dusty Jeans instability, and a steady-state gas-dust drift calculation. The simplicity of MDIRK lays the groundwork to build fast high-order asymptotically stable multifluid methods.

Error-mitigated fermionic classical shadows on noisy quantum devices
Efficiently estimating the expectation values of fermionic Hamiltonians, including $k$-particle reduced density matrices ($k$-RDMs) of an $n$-mode fermionic state, is crucial for quantum simulations of a wealth of physical systems from the fields of many-body physics, chemistry, and materials. Yet, conventional quantum state tomography methods are too costly in terms of their resource requirements. Classical shadow (CS) algorithms have been proposed as a solution to address this task by substantially reducing the number of copies of quantum states. However, the implementation of these algorithms faces a significant challenge due to the inherent noise in near-term quantum devices, leading to inaccuracies in gate operations. To address this challenge, we propose an error-mitigated CS algorithm for fermionic systems. For $n$-qubit quantum systems, our algorithm, which employs the easily prepared initial state $|0^n\rangle\!\langle 0^n|$ assumed to be noiseless, provably efficiently estimates all elements of $k$-RDMs with $\widetilde{\mathcal O}(kn^k)$ scaled copies of quantum states and $\widetilde{\mathcal O}(\sqrt{n})$ scaled calibration measurements. It does so even in the presence of gate or measurement noise such as depolarizing, amplitude damping, or $X$-rotation noise with at most a constant noise strength. Furthermore, our algorithm exhibits scaling comparable to previous CS algorithms for fermionic systems with respect to the number of quantum state copies, while also demonstrating enhanced resilience to noise. We numerically demonstrate the performance of our algorithm in the presence of these noise sources, and its performance under Gaussian unitary noise. Our results underscore the potential utility of implementing our algorithm on near-term quantum devices.

Phase space noncommutativity, power-law inflation and quantum cosmology
Considering an arbitrary dimensional FLRW universe in the framework of a generalized S\'{a}ez--Ballester (SB) theory, we establish a noncommutative (NC) cosmological model. We concentrate on the predictions of NC model and compare them with their commutative counterparts in both the classical and quantum regimes. For the classic case, taking a very small NC parameter, we apply two different methods to analyze the model features. First, we show through numerical analysis that our NC model is a successful inflationary model capable of overcoming the graceful exit and horizon problems. Furthermore, the NC traces are visible the late time, which supports the UV/IR mixing characteristic of the NC models. In the second method, we show that our NC model can correspond to the previously developed NC inflationary models. In the commutative quantum case, we obtain an exact wave function and then use the WKB approximation to show that the solutions of the corresponding classical regime are recovered. Finally, with regard to the NC quantum level, we focus on the special case for which we show that a constant of motion exists. The latter helps us to conveniently transform the corresponding complicated NC-WDW equation into an ordinary differential equation, which can be easily solved numerically for the general case or analytically for some special cases. The resultant solutions show a damping behavior in the wave function associated with the proposed NC model, which may be important in determining the viable initial states for the very early universe.

Electronic quantum wires in extended quasiparticle picture
A one-dimensional quantum wire of Fermions is considered and ground state properties are calculated in the high density regime within the extended quasiparticle picture and Born approximation. Expanding the two-particle Green functions determines the selfenergy and the polarization as well as the response function on the same footing. While the on-shell selfenergies are strictly zero due to Pauli-blocking of elastic scattering, the off-shell behaviour shows a rich structure of a gap in the damping of excitation which is closed when the momentum approaches the Fermi one. The consistent spectral function is presented completing the first two energy-weighted sum rules. The excitation spectrum shows a splitting due to holons and antiholons as non-Fermi liquid behaviour. A renormalization procedure is proposed by subtracting an energy constant to render the Fock exchange energy finite. The effective mass derived from meanfield shows a dip as onset of Peierls instability. The correlation energy is calculated with the help of the extended quasiparticle picture which accounts for off-shell effects. The corresponding response function leads to the same correlation energy as the selfenergy in agreement with perturbation theory. The reduced density matrix or momentum distribution is calculated with the help of a Pad\'e regularization repairing deficiencies of the perturbation theory. A seemingly finite step at the Fermi energy indicating Fermi-liquid behaviour is repaired in this way.

Berry curvature induced giant intrinsic spin-orbit torque in single layer magnetic Weyl semimetal thin films
Topological quantum materials can exhibit unconventional surface states and anomalous transport properties, but their applications to spintronic devices are restricted as they require the growth of high-quality thin films with bulk-like properties. Here, we study 10--30 nm thick epitaxial ferromagnetic Co$_{\rm 2}$MnGa films with high structural order. Very high values of the anomalous Hall conductivity, $\sigma_{\rm xy}=1.35\times10^{5}$ $\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}$, and the anomalous Hall angle, $\theta_{\rm H}=15.8\%$, both comparable to bulk values. We observe a dramatic crystalline orientation dependence of the Gilbert damping constant of a factor of two and a giant intrinsic spin Hall conductivity, $\mathit{\sigma_{\rm SHC}}=(6.08\pm 0.02)\times 10^{5}$ ($\hbar/2e$) $\Omega^{-1} m^{-1}$, which is an order of magnitude higher than literature values of single-layer Ni$_{\rm 80}$Fe$_{\rm 20}$, Ni, Co, Fe, and multilayer Co$_{\rm 2}$MnGa stacks. Theoretical calculations of the intrinsic spin Hall conductivity, originating from a strong Berry curvature, corroborate the results and yield values comparable to the experiment. Our results open up for the design of spintronic devices based on single layers of topological quantum materials.

All solution grown epitaxial magnonic crystal of thulium iron garnet thin film
Magnonics has shown the immense potential of compatibility with CMOS devices and the ability to be utilized in futuristic quantum computing. Therefore, the magnonic crystals, both metallic and insulating, are under extensive exploration. The presence of high spin-orbit interaction induced by the presence of rare-earth elements in thulium iron garnet (TmIG) increases its potential in magnonic applications. Previously, TmIG thin films were grown using ultra-high vacuum-based techniques. Here, we present a cost-effective solution-based approach that enables the excellent quality interface and surface roughness of the epitaxial TmIG/GGG. The deposited TmIG (12.2 nm) thin film's physical and spin dynamic properties are investigated in detail. The confirmation of the epitaxy using X-ray diffraction in $\phi$-scan geometry along with the X-ray reflectivity and atomic force for the thickness and roughness analysis and topography, respectively. The epitaxial TmIG/GGG have confirmed the perpendicular magnetic anisotropy utilizing the polar-magneto-optic Kerr effect. Analyzing the ferromagnetic resonance study of TmIG/GGG thin films provides the anisotropy constant K$_U$ = 20.6$\times$10$^3$ $\pm$ 0.2$\times$10$^3$ N/m$^2$ and the Gilbert damping parameter $\alpha$ = 0.0216 $\pm$ 0.0028. The experimental findings suggest that the solution-processed TmIG/GGG thin films have the potential to be utilized in device applications.

Large enhancement of spin-orbit torques under a MHz modulation due to phonon-magnon coupling
The discovery of spin-orbit torques (SOTs) generated through the spin Hall or Rashba effects provides an alternative write approach for magnetic random-access memory (MRAM), igniting the development of spin-orbitronics in recent years. Quantitative characterization of SOTs highly relies on the SOT-driven ferromagnetic resonance (ST-FMR), where a modulated microwave current is used to generate ac SOTs and the modulation-frequency is usually less than 100 kHz (the limit of conventional lock-in amplifiers). Here we have investigated the SOT of typical SOT material/ferromagnet bilayers in an extended modulation-frequency range, up to MHz, by developing the ST-FMR measurement. Remarkably, we found that the measured SOTs are enhanced about three times in the MHz range, which cannot be explained according to present SOT theory. We attribute the enhancement of SOT to additional magnon excitations due to phonon-magnon coupling, which is also reflected in the slight changes of resonant field and linewidth in the acquired ST-FMR spectra, corresponding to the modifications of effective magnetization and damping constant, respectively. Our results indicate that the write current of SOT-MRAM may be reduced with the assistant of phonon-magnon coupling.

Photon propagation in a charged Bose-Einstein condensate
We consider the propagation of photons in the background of a Bose-Einstein (BE) condensate of a charged scalar field, by extending a method recently proposed to treat the propagation of fermions in a BE condensate. We determine the dispersion relations of the collective modes of the system, as well as the photon polarization tensor and the dielectric constant that result after the symmetry breaking associated with the BE condensation in the model. Two modes correspond to the transverse photon polarizations, and their dispersion relations have the usual form of the transverse photons in a plasma. The other two modes, which we denote as the $(\pm)$ modes, are combinations of the longitudinal photon and the massive scalar field. The dispersion relation of the $(-)$ mode decreases as a function of the momentum in a given range, and the corresponding group velocity is negative in that range. We also determine the wavefunctions of the $(\pm)$ modes, which can be used to obtain the corrections to the dispersion relations (e.g., imaginary parts due the damping effects) and/or the effects of scattering, due to the interactions with the excitations of the system. The results can be useful in various physical contexts that have been considered in the literature involving the electrodynamics of a charged scalar BE condensate.

Well-posedness and stability of the Navier-Stokes-Maxwell equations
The paper is devoted to studying the well-posedness and stability of the generalized Navier-Stokes-Maxwell (NSM) equations with the standard Ohm's law in $\mathbb{R}^d$ for $d \in \{2,3\}$. More precisely, the global well-posedness is established in case of fractional Laplacian velocity $(-\Delta)^\alpha v$ with $\alpha = \frac{d}{2}$ for suitable data. In addition, the local well-posedness in the inviscid case is also provided for sufficient smooth data, which allows us to study the inviscid limit of associated positive viscosity solutions in the case $\alpha = 1$, where an explicit bound on the difference is given. On the other hand, in the case $\alpha = 0$ the stability near a magnetohydrostatic equilibrium with a constant (or equivalently bounded) magnetic field is also obtained in which nonhomogeneous Sobolev norms of the velocity and electric fields, and the $L^\infty$ norm of the magnetic field converge to zero as time goes to infinity with an implicit rate. In this velocity damping case, the situation is different both in case of the two and a half, and three-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) system, where an explicit rate of convergence in infinite time is computed for both the velocity and magnetic fields in nonhomogeneous Sobolev norms. Therefore, there is a gap between NSM and MHD in terms of the norm convergence of the magnetic field and the rate of decaying in time, even the latter equations can be proved as a limiting system of the former one in the sense of distributions as the speed of light tends to infinity.

The effect of spatially-varying collision frequency on the development of the Rayleigh-Taylor instability
The Rayleigh-Taylor (RT) instability is ubiquitously observed, yet has traditionally been studied using ideal fluid models. Collisionality can vary strongly across the fluid interface, and previous work demonstrates the necessity of kinetic models to completely capture dynamics in certain collisional regimes. Where previous kinetic simulations used spatially- and temporally-constant collision frequency, this work presents 5-dimensional (two spatial, three velocity dimensions) continuum-kinetic simulations of the RT instability using a more realistic spatially-varying collision frequency. Three cases of collisional variation are explored for two Atwood numbers: low to intermediate, intermediate to high, and low to high. The low to intermediate case exhibits no RT instability growth, while the intermediate to high case is similar to a fluid limit kinetic case with interface widening biased towards the lower collisionality region. A novel contribution of this work is the low to high collisionality case that shows significantly altered instability growth through upward movement of the interface and damped spike growth due to increased free-streaming particle diffusion in the lower region. Contributions to the energy-flux from the non-Maxwellian portions of the distribution function are not accessible to fluid models and are greatest in magnitude in the spike and regions of low collisionality. Increasing the Atwood number results in greater RT instability growth and reduced upward interface movement. Deviation of the distribution function from Maxwellian is inversely proportional to collision frequency and concentrated around the fluid interface. The linear phase of RT instability growth is well-described by theoretical linear growth rates accounting for viscosity and diffusion.

The Cattaneo-Christov approximation of Fourier heat-conductive compressible fluids
We investigate the Navier-Stokes-Cattaneo-Christov (NSC) system in $\mathbb{R}^d$ ($d\geq3$), a model of heat-conductive compressible flows serving as a finite speed of propagation approximation of the Navier-Stokes-Fourier (NSF) system. Due to the presence of Oldroyd's upper-convected derivatives, the system (NSC) exhibits a \textit{lack of hyperbolicity} which makes it challenging to establish its well-posedness, especially in multi-dimensional contexts. In this paper, within a critical regularity functional framework, we prove the global-in-time well-posedness of (NSC) for initial data that are small perturbations of constant equilibria, uniformly with respect to the approximation parameter $\varepsilon>0$. Then, building upon this result, we obtain the sharp large-time asymptotic behaviour of (NSC) and, for all time $t>0$, we derive quantitative error estimates between the solutions of (NSC) and (NSF). To the best of our knowledge, our work provides the first strong convergence result for this relaxation procedure in the three-dimensional setting and for ill-prepared data. The (NSC) system is partially dissipative and incorporates both partial diffusion and partial damping mechanisms. To address these aspects and ensure the large-time stability of the solutions, we construct localized-in-frequency perturbed energy functionals based on the hypocoercivity theory. More precisely, our analysis relies on partitioning the frequency space into \textit{three} distinct regimes: low, medium and high frequencies. Within each frequency regime, we introduce effective unknowns and Lyapunov functionals, revealing the spectrally expected dissipative structures.

Stochastic excitation and damping of solar-type oscillations
A review on acoustic mode damping and excitation in solar-type stars is presented. Current models for linear damping rates are discussed in the light of recent low-degree solar linewidth measurements with emphasis on the frequency-dependence of damping rates of low-order modes. Recent developments in stochastic excitation models are reviewed and tested against the latest high-quality data of solar-like oscillations, such as from alpha Cen A, and against results obtained from hydrodynamical simulations.

We study the damping of low-lying collective excitations of condensates in a weakly interacting Bose gas model within the framework of imaginary time path integral. A general expression of the damping rate has been obtained in the low momentum limit for both the very low temperature regime and the higher temperature regime. For the latter, the result is new and applicable to recent experiments. Theoretical predictions for the damping rate are compared with the experimental values.

Damping in dilute Bose gases: a mean-field approach
Damping in a dilute Bose gas is investigated using a mean-field approximation which describes the coupled oscillations of condensate and non-condensate atoms in the collisionless regime. Explicit results for both Landau and Beliaev damping rates are given for non-uniform gases. In the case of uniform systems we obtain results for the damping of phonons both at zero and finite temperature. The isothermal compressibility of a uniform gas is also discussed.

Damped Bogoliubov excitations of a condensate interacting with a static thermal cloud
We calculate the damping of condensate collective excitations at finite temperatures arising from the lack of equilibrium between the condensate and thermal atoms. We neglect the non-condensate dynamics by fixing the thermal cloud in static equilibrium. We derive a set of generalized Bogoliubov equations for finite temperatures that contain an explicit damping term due to collisional exchange of atoms between the two components. We have numerically solved these Bogoliubov equations to obtain the temperature dependence of the damping of the condensate modes in a harmonic trap. We compare these results with our recent work based on the Thomas-Fermi approximation.

Cavity assisted quasiparticle damping in a Bose-Einstein condensate
We consider an atomic Bose-Einstein condensate held within an optical cavity and interacting with laser fields. We show how the interaction of the cavity mode with the condensate can cause energy due to excitations to be coupled to a lossy cavity mode, which then decays, thus damping the condensate, how to choose parameters for damping specific excitations, and how to target a range of different excitations to potentially produce extremely cold condensates.

The nonlinear damping of Bose-Einstein condensate oscillations at ultra-low temperatures
We analyze the damping of the transverse breathing mode in an elongated trap at ultralow temperatures. The damping occurs due to the parametric resonance entailing the energy transfer to the longitudinal degrees of freedom. It is found that the nonlinear coupling between the transverse and discrete longitudinal modes can result in an anomalous behavior of the damping as a function of time with the partially reversed pumping of the breathing mode. The picture revealed explains the results observed in [16].

Tunable magnetization damping in transition metal ternary alloys
We show that magnetization damping in Permalloy, Ni80Fe20 (``Py''), can be enhanced sufficiently to reduce post-switching magnetization precession to an acceptable level by alloying with the transition metal osmium (Os). The damping increases monotonically upon raising the Os-concentration in Py, at least up to 9% of Os. Other effects of alloying with Os are suppression of magnetization and enhancement of in-plane anisotropy. Magnetization damping also increases significantly upon alloying with the five other transition metals included in this study (4d-elements: Nb, Ru, Rh; 5d-elements: Ta, Pt) but never as strongly as with Os.

The origin of increase of damping in transition metals with rare earth impurities
The damping due to rare earth impurities in transition metals is discussed in the low concentration limit. It is shown that the increase in damping is mainly due to the coupling of the orbital moments of the rare earth impurities and the conduction $p$-electrons. It is shown that an itinerant picture for the host transition ions is needed to reproduce the observed dependence of the damping on the total angular moment of the rare earths.

It is examined to what extent the results obtained previously depend on the particular model chosen. Comparisons are made with other models for gravitational and electromagnetic fields. The relation of the kinetic model for which theorems were proved to certain many-particle models with radiation damping is exhibited.

Damping Rate of a Yukawa Fermion at Finite Temperature
The damping of a massless fermion coupled to a massless scalar particle at finite temperature is considered using the Braaten-Pisarski resummation technique. First the hard thermal loop diagrams of this theory are extracted and effective Green's functions are constructed. Using these effective Green's functions the damping rate of a soft Yukawa fermion is calculated. This rate provides the most simple example for the damping of a soft particle. To leading order it is proportional to $g^2T$, whereas the one of a hard fermion is of higher order.

Moduli decay in the hot early Universe
We consider moduli fields interacting with thermalized relativistic matter. We determine the temperature dependence of their damping rate and find it is dominated by thermal effects in the high temperature regime, i.e. for temperatures larger than their mass. For a simple scalar model the damping rate is expressed through the known matter bulk viscosity. The high temperature damping rate is always smaller than the Hubble rate, so that thermal effects are not sufficient for solving the cosmological moduli problem.

The Landau Damping Effect and Complex-valued Nature of Physical Quantities
Within the framework of the hypothesis offered by authors about complex-valued nature of physical quantities, the effect of the Landau damping has been explored with assumption that not only frequency can be a small imaginary component but also a wave vector. The numerical solution of the obtained dispersion equation testifies that uncollisional damping is accompanied in a certain region of space by antidumping of waves, and in particular situations antidumping may prevail over damping. It is possible that this effect may explain the experimental difficulties connected with inhibition of instabilities of plasma in the problem of controllable thermonuclear fusion.

Nontrapping arrest of Langmuir wave damping near the threshold amplitude
Evolution of a Langmuir wave is studied numerically for finite amplitudes slightly above the threshold which separates damping from nondamping cases. Arrest of linear damping is found to be a second-order effect due to ballistic evolution of perturbations, resonant power transfer between field and particles, and organization of phase space into a positive slope for the average distribution function $f_{av}$ around the resonant wave phase speed $v_\phi$. Near the threshold trapping in the wave potential does not arrest damping or saturate the subsequent growth phase.

Decoherence and Entanglement in Two-mode Squeezed Vacuum States
I investigate the decoherence of two-mode squeezed vacuum states by analyzing the relative entropy of entanglement. I consider two sources of decoherence: (i) the phase damping and (ii) the amplitude damping due to the coupling to the thermal environment. In particular, I give the exact value of the relative entropy of entanglement for the phase damping model. For the amplitude damping model, I give an upper bound for the relative entropy of entanglement, which turns out to be a good approximation for the entanglement measure in usual experimental situations.

Damped Population Oscillation in a Spontaneously Decaying Two-Level Atom Coupled to a Monochromatic Field
We investigate the time evolution of atomic population in a two-level atom driven by a monochromatic radiation field, taking spontaneous emission into account. The Rabi oscillation exhibits amplitude damping in time caused by spontaneous emission. We show that the semiclassical master equation leads in general to an overestimation of the damping rate and that a correct quantitative description of the damped Rabi oscillation can thus be obtained only with a full quantum mechanical theory.

Analytical solutions for two-level systems with damping
A method is proposed to transform any analytic solution of the Bloch equation into an analytic solution of the Landau-Lifshitz-Gilbert equation. This allows for the analytical description of the dynamics of a two level system with damping. This method shows that damping turns the linear Schr\"{o}dinger equation of a two-level system into a nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation. As applications, it is shown that damping has a relatively mild influence on self-induced transparency but destroys dynamical localization.

Gilbert and Landau-Lifshitz damping in the presense of spin-torque
A recent article by Stiles et al. (cond-mat/0702020) argued in favor of the Landau-Lifshitz damping term in the micromagnetic equations of motion over that of the more commonly accepted Gilbert damping form. Much of their argument revolved around spin-torque driven domain wall motion in narrow magnetic wires, since the presence of spin-torques can more acutely draw a distinction between the two forms of damping. In this article, the author uses simple arguments and examples to offer an alternative point of view favoring Gilbert.

Inhomogeneous Gilbert damping from impurities and electron-electron interactions
We present a unified theory of magnetic damping in itinerant electron ferromagnets at order $q^2$ including electron-electron interactions and disorder scattering. We show that the Gilbert damping coefficient can be expressed in terms of the spin conductivity, leading to a Matthiessen-type formula in which disorder and interaction contributions are additive. In a weak ferromagnet regime, electron-electron interactions lead to a strong enhancement of the Gilbert damping.

Dipole Oscillations of a Fermi Gas in a Disordered Trap: Damping and Localization
We theoretically study the dipole oscillations of an ideal Fermi gas in a disordered trap. We show that even weak disorder induces strong damping of the oscillations and we identify a metal-insulator crossover. For very weak disorder, we show that damping results from a dephasing effect related to weak random perturbations of the energy spectrum. For increasing disorder, we show that the Fermi gas crosses over to an insulating regime characterized by strong-damping due to the proliferation of localized states.

Confronting the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillations with observation
We investigate the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillations in the matter power spectrum due to the quasinonlinear clustering and redshift-space distortions by confronting the models with the observations of the Sloan Digital Sky Survey luminous red galaxy sample. The chi-squared test suggests that the observed power spectrum is better matched by models with the damping of the baryon acoustic oscillations rather than the ones without the damping.

Spectral deviations for the damped wave equation
We prove a Weyl-type fractal upper bound for the spectrum of the damped wave equation, on a negatively curved compact manifold. It is known that most of the eigenvalues have an imaginary part close to the average of the damping function. We count the number of eigenvalues in a given horizontal strip deviating from this typical behaviour; the exponent that appears naturally is the `entropy' that gives the deviation rate from the Birkhoff ergodic theorem for the geodesic flow. A Weyl-type lower bound is still far from reach; but in the particular case of arithmetic surfaces, and for a strong enough damping, we can use the trace formula to prove a result going in this direction.

Pressure Fronts in 1D Damped Nonlinear Lattices
The propagation of pressure fronts (impact solutions) in 1D chains of atoms coupled by anharmonic potentials between nearest neighbor and submitted to damping forces preserving uniform motion, is investigated. Travelling fronts between two regions at different uniform pressures are found numerically and well approximate analytically. It is proven that there are three analytical relations between the impact velocity, the compression, the front velocity and the energy dissipation which only depend on the coupling potential and are \textit{independent} of the damping. Such travelling front solutions cannot exist without damping.

Decoherence and damping in ideal gases
The particle and current densities are shown to display damping and undergo decoherence in ideal quantum gases. The damping is read off from the equations of motion reminiscent of the Navier-Stokes equations and shows some formal similarity with Landau damping. The decoherence leads to consistent density and current histories with characteristic length and time scales given by the ideal gas.

The effect of spin magnetization in the damping of electron plasma oscillations
The effect of spin of particles in the propagation of plasma waves is studied using a semi-classical kinetic theory for a magnetized plasma. We focus in the simple damping effects for the electrostatic wave modes besides Landau damping. Without taking into account more quantum effects than spin contribution to Vlasov's equation, we show that spin produces a new damping or instability which is proportional to the zeroth order magnetization of the system. This correction depends on the electromagnetic part of the wave which is coupled with the spin vector.

Recent Progress on a Manifold Damped and Detuned Structure for CLIC
A damped detuned structure for the main X-band linacs of CLIC is being investigated as an alternative design to the present baseline heavily damped structure. In our earlier designs we studied detuned structures, operating at 11.994 GHz, with a range of dipole bandwidths in order to ensure the structure satisfies beam dynamics and rf breakdown constraints. Here we report on the development of a damped and detuned structure which satisfies both constraints. Preparations for high power testing of the structure are also discussed

Finite temperature damping of collective modes of a BCS-BEC crossover superfluid
A new mechanism is proposed to explain the puzzling damping of collective excitations, which was recently observed in the experiments of strongly interacting Fermi gases below the superfluid critical temperature on the fermionic (BCS) side of Feshbach resonance. Sound velocity, superfluid density and damping rate are calculated with effective field theory. We find that a dominant damping process is due to the interaction between superfluid phonons and thermally excited fermionic quasiparticles, in contrast to the previously proposed pair-breaking mechanism. Results from our effective model are compared quantitatively with recent experimental findings, showing a good agreement.

Confinement induced by fermion damping in three-dimensional QED
The three-dimensional non-compact QED is known to exhibit weak confinement when fermions acquire a finite mass via the mechanism of dynamical chiral symmetry breaking. In this paper, we study the effect of fermion damping caused by elastic scattering on the classical potential between fermions. By calculating the vacuum polarization function that incorporates the fermion damping effect, we show that fermion damping can induce a weak confinement even when the fermions are massless and the chiral symmetry is not broken.

Highly Damped Quasinormal Modes and the Small Scale Structure of Quantum Corrected Black Hole Exteriors
Quasinormal modes provide valuable information about the structure of spacetime outside a black hole. There is also a conjectured relationship between the highly damped quasinormal modes and the semi-classical spectrum of the horizon area/entropy. In this paper, we show that for spacetimes characterized by more than one scale, the "infinitely damped" modes in principle probe the structure of spacetime outside the horizon at the shortest length scales. We demonstrate this with the calculation of the highly damped quasinormal modes of the non-singular, single horizon, quantum corrected black hole derived in [14].

Simple Non-Markovian Microscopic Models for the Depolarizing Channel of a Single Qubit
The archetypal one-qubit noisy channels ---depolarizing, phase-damping and amplitude-damping channels--- describe both Markovian and non-Markovian evolution. Simple microscopic models for the depolarizing channel, both classical and quantum, are considered. Microscopic models which describe phase damping and amplitude damping channels are briefly reviewed.

Damping of optomechanical disks resonators vibrating in air
We report on miniature GaAs disk optomechanical resonators vibrating in air in the radiofrequency range. The flexural modes of the disks are studied by scanning electron microscopy and optical interferometry, and correctly modeled with the elasticity theory for annular plates. The mechanical damping is systematically measured, and confronted with original analytical models for air damping. Formulas are derived that correctly reproduce both the mechanical modes and the damping behavior, and can serve as design tools for optomechanical applications in fluidic environment.

A Generalized Interpolation Inequality and its Application to the Stabilization of Damped Equations
In this paper, we establish a generalized H{\"o}lder's or interpolation inequality for weighted spaces in which the weights are non-necessarily homogeneous. We apply it to the stabilization of some damped wave-like evolution equations. This allows obtaining explicit decay rates for smooth solutions for more general classes of damping operators. In particular, for $1-d$ models, we can give an explicit decay estimate for pointwise damping mechanisms supported on any strategic point.

Conformation dependent damping and generalization of fluctuation-dissipation relation
Damping on an object generally depends on its conformation (shape size etc.). We consider the Langevin dynamics of a model system with a conformation dependent damping and generalize the fluctuation dissipation relation to fit in such a situation. We derive equilibrium distribution function for such a case which converges to the standard Boltzmann form at the limit of uniform damping. The results can have implications, in general, for barrier overcoming processes where standard Boltzmann statistics is slow.

On algebraic damping close to inhomogeneous Vlasov equilibria in multi-dimensional spaces
We investigate the asymptotic damping of a perturbation around inhomogeneous stable stationary states of the Vlasov equation in spatially multi-dimensional systems. We show that branch singularities of the Fourier-Laplace transform of the perturbation yield algebraic dampings. In two spatial dimensions, we classify the singularities and compute the associated damping rate and frequency. This 2D setting also applies to spherically symmetric self-gravitating systems. We validate the theory using a toy model and an advection equation associated with the isochrone model, a model of spherical self-gravitating systems.

Phenomenological model of anomalous magnon softening and damping in half-metallic manganites
To describe anomalous zone-boundary softening and damping of magnons in manganites we present a phenomenological two-fluid model containing ferromagnetic Fermi-liquid and non-Fermi-liquid components. The Fermi-liquid component accounts for softening of zone-boundary magnons and for the Landau damping of magnons in the Stoner continuum arising at low frequencies due to zero-point effects. Coupling of the Fermi-liquid and non-Fermi-liquid fluids yields conventional long wavelength magnons damped due to their coupling with longitudinal spin fluctuations.

Determination of Transverse Density Structuring from Propagating MHD Waves in the Solar Atmosphere
We present a Bayesian seismology inversion technique for propagating magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) transverse waves observed in coronal waveguides. The technique uses theoretical predictions for the spatial damping of propagating kink waves in transversely inhomogeneous coronal waveguides. It combines wave amplitude damping length scales along the waveguide with theoretical results for resonantly damped propagating kink waves to infer the plasma density variation across the oscillating structures. Provided the spatial dependence of the velocity amplitude along the propagation direction is measured and the existence of two different damping regimes is identified, the technique would enable us to fully constrain the transverse density structuring, providing estimates for the density contrast and its transverse inhomogeneity length scale.

Optimal decay rate of the bipolar Euler-Poisson system with damping in $\mathbb{R}^3$
By rewriting a bipolar Euler-Poisson equations with damping into an Euler equation with damping coupled with an Euler-Poisson equation with damping, and using a new spectral analysis, we obtain the optimal decay results of the solutions in $L^2$-norm, which improve theose in \cite{Li3, Wu3}. More precisely, the velocities $u_1,u_2$ decay at the $L^2-$rate $(1+t)^{-{5}{4}}$, which is faster than the normal $L^2-$rate $(1+t)^{-{3}{4}}$ for the Heat equation and the Navier-Stokes equations. In addition, the disparity of two densities $\rho_1-\rho_2$ and the disparity of two velocities $u_1-u_2$ decay at the $L^2$-rate $(1+t)^{-2}$.

Symmetry considerations on radiation damping
It is well known that a direct Lagrangian description of radiation damping is still missing. In this paper we will use a specific approach of this problem which is the standard way to treat the radiation damping problem. The objectives here are to construct: a N=2 supersymmetric extension for the model describing the radiation damping on the noncommutative plane with electric and magnetic interactions; a dualization analysis of the original action; the supercharge algebra and the total Hamiltonian for the system.

Damping of a nanocantilever by paramagnetic spins
We compute damping of mechanical oscillations of a cantilever that contains flipping paramagnetic spins. This kind of damping is mandated by the dynamics of the total angular momentum, spin + mechanical. Rigorous expression for the damping rate is derived in terms of measurable parameters. The effect of spins on the quality factor of the cantilever can be significant in cantilevers of small length that have large concentration of paramagnetic spins of atomic and/or nuclear origin.

Long-time behavior of solutions of a BBM equation with generalized damping
We study the long-time behavior of the solution of a damped BBM equation $u_t + u_x - u_{xxt} + uu_x + \mathscr{L}_{\gamma}(u) = 0$. The proposed dampings $\mathscr{L}_{\gamma}$ generalize standards ones, as parabolic ($\mathscr{L}_{\gamma}(u)=-\Delta u$) or weak damping ($\mathscr{L}_{\gamma}(u)=\gamma u$) and allows us to consider a greater range. After establish the local well-posedness in the energy space, we investigate some numerical properties.

A $N=2$ supersymmetric extension for the model describing the radiation damping on the noncommutative plane with electric and magnetic interactions was obtained. The entire supercharge algebra and the total Hamiltonian for the system were analyzed. Finally, noncommutativity features were introduced and its consequences were explored..

Renormalized solutions to the continuity equation with an integrable damping term
We consider the continuity equation with a nonsmooth vector field and a damping term. In their fundamental paper, DiPerna and Lions proved that, when the damping term is bounded in space and time, the equation is well posed in the class of distributional solutions and the solution is transported by suitable characteristics of the vector field. In this paper, we prove existence and uniqueness of renormalized solutions in the case of an integrable damping term, employing a new logarithmic estimate inspired by analogous ideas of Ambrosio, Lecumberry, and Maniglia, Crippa and De Lellis in the Lagrangian case.

Landau Damping in a Mixture of Bose and Fermi Superfluids
We study the Landau damping in Bose-Fermi superfluid mixture at finite temperature. We find that at low temperature, the Landau damping rate will be exponentially suppressed at both the BCS side and the BEC side of Fermi superfluid. The momentum dependence of the damping rate is obtained, and it is quite different from the BCS side to the BEC side. The relations between our result and collective mode experiment in the recently realized Bose-Fermi superfluid mixture are also discussed.

Applying a formula for generator redispatch to damp interarea oscillations using synchrophasors
If an interarea oscillatory mode has insufficient damping, generator redispatch can be used to improve its damping. We explain and apply a new analytic formula for the modal sensitivity to rank the best pairs of generators to redispatch. The formula requires some dynamic power system data and we show how to obtain that data from synchrophasor measurements. The application of the formula to damp interarea modes is explained and illustrated with interarea modes of the New England 10-machine power system.

Codeword Stabilized Quantum Codes for Asymmetric Channels
We discuss a method to adapt the codeword stabilized (CWS) quantum code framework to the problem of finding asymmetric quantum codes. We focus on the corresponding Pauli error models for amplitude damping noise and phase damping noise. In particular, we look at codes for Pauli error models that correct one or two amplitude damping errors. Applying local Clifford operations on graph states, we are able to exhaustively search for all possible codes up to length $9$. With a similar method, we also look at codes for the Pauli error model that detect a single amplitude error and detect multiple phase damping errors. Many new codes with good parameters are found, including nonadditive codes and degenerate codes.

On Boundary Damped Inhomogeneous Timoshenko Beams and Related Problems
We consider the model equations for the Timoshenko beam as a first order system in the framework of evolutionary equations. The focus is on boundary damping, which is implemented as a dynamic boundary condition. A change of material laws allows to include a large class of cases of boundary damping. By choosing a particular material law, it is shown that the first order approach to Sturm-Liouville problems with boundary damping is also covered.

Diffusion phenomena for the wave equation with space-dependent damping in an exterior domain
In this paper, we consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the wave equation with space-dependent damping in an exterior domain. We prove that when the damping is effective, the solution is approximated by that of the corresponding heat equation as time tends to infinity. Our proof is based on semigroup estimates for the corresponding heat equation and weighted energy estimates for the damped wave equation. The optimality of the decay late for solutions is also established.

Robust quantum state recovery from amplitude damping within a mixed states framework
Due to the interaction with the environment, a quantum state is subjected to decoherence which becomes one of the biggest problems for practical quantum computation. Amplitude damping is one of the most important decoherence processes. Here, we show that general two-qubit mixed states undergoing an amplitude damping can be almost completely restored using a reversal procedure. This reversal procedure through CNOT and Hadamard gates, could also protect the entanglement of two-qubit mixed states, when it undergoes general amplitude damping. Moreover, in the presence of uncertainty in the underlying system, we propose a robust recovering method with optimal characteristics of the problem.

Protecting and enhancing spin squeezing under decoherence using weak measurement
We propose an efficient method to protect spin squeezing under the action of amplitude-damping, depolarizing and phase-damping channels based on measurement reversal from weak measurement, and consider an ensemble of N independent spin-1/2 particles with exchange symmetry. We find that spin squeezing can be enhanced greatly under three different decoherence channels and spin-squeezing sudden death (SSSD) can be avoided undergoing amplitude damping and phase-damping channels.

Ferromagnetic Damping/Anti-damping in a Periodic 2D Helical surface; A Non-Equilibrium Keldysh Green Function Approach
In this paper, we investigate theoretically the spin-orbit torque as well as the Gilbert damping for a two band model of a 2D helical surface state with a Ferromagnetic (FM) exchange coupling. We decompose the density matrix into the Fermi sea and Fermi surface components and obtain their contributions to the electronic transport as well as the spin-orbit torque (SOT). Furthermore, we obtain the expression for the Gilbert damping due to the surface state of a 3D Topological Insulator (TI) and predicted its dependence on the direction of the magnetization precession axis.

Remarks on an elliptic problem arising in weighted energy estimates for wave equations with space-dependent damping term in an exterior domain
This paper is concerned with weighted energy estimates and diffusion phenomena for the initial-boundary problem of the wave equation with space-dependent damping term in an exterior domain. In this analysis, an elliptic problem was introduced by Todorova and Yordanov. This attempt was quite useful when the coefficient of the damping term is radially symmetric. In this paper, by modifying their elliptic problem, we establish weighted energy estimates and diffusion phenomena even when the coefficient of the damping term is not radially symmetric.

Finite-orbit-width effects on the geodesic acoustic mode in the toroidally rotating tokamak plasma
The Landau damping of geodesic acoustic mode (GAM) in a torodial rotating tokamak plasma is analytically investigated by taking into account the finite-orbit-width (FOW) resonance effect to the 3rd order. The analytical result is shown to agree well with the numerical solution. The dependence of the damping rate on the toroidal Mach number $M$ relies on $k_r \rho_i$. For sufficiently small $k_r \rho_i$, the damping rate monotonically decreases with $M$. For relatively large $k_r \rho_i$, the damping rate increases with $M$ until approaching the maximum and then decreases with $M$.

Long-time dynamics of the strongly damped semilinear plate equation in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$
We investigate the initial-value problem for the semilinear plate equation containing localized strong damping, localized weak damping and nonlocal nonlinearity. We prove that if nonnegative damping coefficients are strictly positive almost everywhere in the exterior of some ball and the sum of these coefficients is positive a.e. in $% \mathbb{R} ^{n}$, then the semigroup generated by the considered problem possesses a global attractor in $H^{2}\left( \mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) \times L^{2}\left( \mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) $. We also establish boundedness of this attractor in $ H^{3}\left( \mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) \times H^{2}\left( \mathbb{R} ^{n}\right) $.

The Effects of Rolling Deformation and Annealing Treatment on Damping Capacity of 1200 Aluminium Alloy
Annealing treatment is an important step of rolling deformation that contributes to microstructural evolution and leads to the significant changes in damping capacity. Damping capacities were analyzed in the parallel to rolling direction at 1 and 10 Hz respectively. It was found that severe plastic deformation at 40 percent reduction has lower damping capacity compared to that of 30 percent and 20 percent reductions respectively. The microstructural results show that the grains of as rolled alloys were changed to almost equiaxed structures after a rolling reduction at 40 percent reduction.

Isolated resonances and nonlinear damping
We analyze isolated resonance curves (IRCs) in a single-degree-of-freedom system with nonlinear damping. The adopted procedure exploits singularity theory in conjunction with the harmonic balance method. The analysis unveils a geometrical connection between the topology of the damping force and IRCs. Specifically, we demonstrate that extremas and zeros of the damping force correspond to the appearance and merging of IRCs.

Best exponential decay rate of energy for the vectorial damped wave equation
The energy of solutions of the scalar damped wave equation decays uniformly exponentially fast when the geometric control condition is satisfied. A theorem of Lebeau [leb93] gives an expression of this exponential decay rate in terms of the average value of the damping terms along geodesics and of the spectrum of the infinitesimal generator of the equation. The aim of this text is to generalize this result in the setting of a vectorial damped wave equation on a Riemannian manifold with no boundary. We obtain an expression analogous to Lebeau's one but new phenomena like high frequency overdamping arise in comparison to the scalar setting. We also prove a necessary and sufficient condition for the strong stabilization of the vectorial wave equation.

Radiation Damping of a Polarizable Particle
A polarizable body moving in an external electromagnetic field will slow down. This effect is referred to as radiation damping and is analogous to Doppler cooling in atomic physics. Using the principles of special relativity we derive an expression for the radiation damping force and find that it solely depends on the scattered power. The cooling of the particle's center-of-mass motion is balanced by heating due to radiation pressure shot noise, giving rise to an equilibrium that depends on the ratio of the field's frequency and the particle's mass. While damping is of relativistic nature heating has it's roots in quantum mechanics.

Energy decay for the Klein-Gordon equation with highly oscillating damping
We consider the free Klein-Gordon equation with periodic damping. We show on this simple model that if the usual geometric condition holds then the decay of the energy is uniform with respect to the oscillations of the damping, and in particular the size of the derivatives do not play any role. We also show that without geometric condition the polynomial decay of the energy is even slightly better for a highly oscillating damping. To prove these estimates we provide a parameter dependent version of well known results of semigroup theory.

Analysis of A Splitting Scheme for Damped Stochastic Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation with Multiplicative Noise
In this paper, we investigate the damped stochastic nonlinear Schr\"odinger(NLS) equation with multiplicative noise and its splitting-based approximation. When the damped effect is large enough, we prove that the solutions of the damped stochastic NLS equation and the splitting scheme are exponential stable and possess some exponential integrability. These properties lead that the strong order of the scheme is $\frac 12$ and independent of time. Meanwhile, we analyze the regularity of the Kolmogorov equation with respect to the equation. As a consequence, the weak order of the scheme is shown to be twice the strong order and independent of time.

Stabilization of the weakly coupled wave-plate system with one internal damping
This paper is addressed to a stabilization problem of a system coupled by a wave and a Euler-Bernoulli plate equation. Only one equation is supposed to be damped. Under some assumption about the damping and the coupling terms, it is shown that sufficiently smooth solutions of the system decay logarithmically at infinity without any geometric conditions on the effective damping domain. The proofs of these decay results rely on the interpolation inequalities for the coupled elliptic-parabolic systems and make use of the estimate of the resolvent operator for the coupled system. The main tools to derive the desired interpolation inequalities are global Carleman estimates.

Dynamics of coherence-induced state ordering under Markovian channels
We study the dynamics of coherence-induced state ordering under incoherent channels, particularly four specific Markovian channels: $-$ amplitude damping channel, phase damping channel, depolarizing channel and bit flit channel for single-qubit states. We show that the amplitude damping channel, phase damping channel, and depolarizing channel do not change the coherence-induced state ordering by $l_1$ norm of coherence, relative entropy of coherence, geometric measure of coherence, and Tsallis relative $\alpha$-entropies, while the bit flit channel does change for some special cases.
