Connecting Low- and High-redshift Weak Emission-line Quasars via Hubble Space Telescope Spectroscopy of Lyα Emission

Article presents ultraviolet spectroscopy covering the Lyα + N v complex of six candidate low-redshift (0.9 < z < 1.5) weak emission-line quasars (WLQs) based on observations with the Hubble Space Telescope.

Quantum algorithm for electronic band structures with local tight-binding orbitals (open access)

Quantum algorithm for electronic band structures with local tight-binding orbitals

Article says that while the main thrust of quantum computing research in materials science is to accurately measure the classically intractable electron correlation effects due to Coulomb repulsion, designing optimal quantum algorithms for simpler problems with well-understood solutions is a useful tactic to advance our quantum “toolbox”. In this paper, the authors adopt a direct space approach, using a novel hybrid first/second-quantized qubit mapping which allows us to construct a single Hamiltonian, and a single cost-function, suitable for solving the entire electronic band structure.

Unusual Mathematical Approaches Untangle Nervous Dynamics (open access)

Unusual Mathematical Approaches Untangle Nervous Dynamics

Article reports that the massive amount of available neurodata suggests the existence of a mathematical backbone underlying neuronal oscillatory activities. The authors assert that the Monge’s theorem might contribute to our visual ability of depth perception and the brain connectome can be tackled in terms of tunnelling nanotubes.
