Digital Quantum Simulation of Spin Models with Circuit Quantum Electrodynamics
(American Physical Society, 2015-06-17)
Systems of interacting quantum spins show a rich spectrum of quantum phases and display interesting many-body dynamics. Computing characteristics of even small systems on conventional computers poses significant challenges. ...
Fitting BICEP2 with defects, primordial gravitational waves and dust
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
In this work we discuss the possibility of cosmic defects being responsible for the B-mode signal measured by the BICEP2 collaboration. We also allow for the presence of other cosmological sources of B-modes such as ...
Double layers in gravity theories
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
Gravitational double layers, unlike their classical electromagnetic counterparts, are thought to be forbidden in gravity theories. It has been recently shown, however, that they are feasible in, for instance, gravity ...
Hartle's model within the general theory of perturbatiye matchings: the change in mass
(IOP Publishing, 2015)
Hartle's model provides the most widely used analytic framework to describe isolated compact bodies rotating slowly in equilibrium up to second order in perturbations in the context of General Relativity. Apart from some ...
