Practical application of quantum neural network to materials informatics: prediction of the melting points of metal oxides
Quantum neural network (QNN) models have received increasing attention owing to their strong expressibility and resistance to overfitting. It is particularly useful when the size of the training data is small, making it a good fit for materials informatics (MI) problems. However, there are only a few examples of the ap...

Reconnection via the Tearing Instability
We discuss the role of tearing instabilities in magnetic reconnection. In three dimensions this instability leads to the formation of strong Alfvenic waves that remove plasma efficiently from the reconnection layer. As a result the instability proceeds at high rates while staying close to the linear regime. Our calcula...

Tearing instability in relativistic magnetically dominated plasmas
Many astrophysical sources of high energy emission, such as black hole magnetospheres, superstrongly magnetized neutron stars (magnetars), and probably relativistic jets in Active Galactic Nuclei and Gamma Ray Bursts involve relativistically magnetically dominated plasma. In such plasma the energy density of magnetic f...

Hydrodynamic electron flow in high-mobility wires
Hydrodynamic electron flow is experimentally observed in the differential resistance of electrostatically defined wires in the two-dimensional electron gas in (Al,Ga)As heterostructures.

Nonlocal conductivity in the vortex-liquid regime
We investigate the nonlocal conductivity calculated from the time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation. When the fluctuations of the vector potential are negligible, the high-temperature (Gaussian) and low-temperature (flux-flow) forms of the uniform conductivity withan an ab plane (sigma_yy) are essentially identical. W...

Nature of the Low Field Transition in the Mixed State of High Temperature Superconductors
We have numerically studied the statics and dynamics of a model three-dimensional vortex lattice at low magnetic fields. For the statics we use a frustrated 3D XY model on a stacked triangular lattice. We model the dynamics as a coupled network of overdamped resistively-shunted Josephson junctions with Langevin noise. ...

Resistance behavior near the magnetic-field-tuned quantum transition in superconducting amorphous In-O films
We have studied the magnetic-field-tuned superconductivity destroying quantum transition in amorphous In-O films with the onset of superconductivity in zero field at about 2 K. At temperatures down to 30 mK the critical resistance R_c=R(T,B_c) has been found to change approximately linearly with temperature, which is i...

From an antiferromagnet to a heavy-fermion system: CeCu5Au under pressure
The electrical resistivity rho(T) of single crystalline CeCu_5Au under pressure was measured in the temperature range 30mK<T<300K. Pressure suppresses the antiferromagnetic order (T_N=2.35K at ambient pressure) and drives the system into a non-magnetic heavy-fermion state above P_c=4.1(3)GPa. The electrical resistivity...

Quantum tunneling of the superconducting order parameter gives rise to the phase slippage process which controls the resistance of ultra-thin superconducting wires at sufficiently low temperatures. If the quantum phase slip rate is high, superconductivity is completely destroyed by quantum fluctuations and the wire res...
