We analyze the results of the test of π/2 qubit rotations on a public quantum computer provided by IBM. We measure a single qubit rotated by π/2 about a random axis, and we accumulate vast statistics of the results. The test performed on different devices shows systematic deviations from the theoretical predictions, which appear at level 10–3. Some...
Adaptive gradient methods are workhorses in deep learning. However, the convergence guarantees of adaptive gradient methods for nonconvex optimization have not been sufficiently studied. In this paper, we provide a sharp analysis of a recently proposed adaptive gradient method namely partially adaptive momentum estimation method (Padam) (Chen and G...

Older African Americans and Asian Americans in the U.S. underuse mental health services, despite their vulnerability to diverse mental health problems. This study examined their perspectives on the importance of various mental health problems, mental health treatment, and provider type preference. A total of 243 participants residing in Philadelphi...
In recent years, multifunctional materials have attracted increasing interest for magnetic memories and energy harvesting applications. Magnetic insulating materials are of special interest for this purpose, since they allow the design of more efficient devices due to the lower Joule heat losses. In this context, Ga$_{0.6}$Fe$_{1.4}$O$_3$ (GFO) is ...

We present the first theoretical modeling of joint Parker Solar Probe (PSP)–Metis/Solar Orbiter (SolO) quadrature observations. The combined observations describe the evolution of a slow solar wind plasma parcel from the extended solar corona (3.5–6.3 R ⊙) to the very inner heliosphere (23.2 R ⊙). The Metis/SolO instrument remotely measures the sol...
For a random binary noncoalescing feedback shift register of width $n$, with all $2^{2^{n-1}}$ possible feedback functions $f$ equally likely, the process of long cycle lengths, scaled by dividing by $N=2^n$, converges in distribution to the same Poisson-Dirichlet limit as holds for random permutations in $\mathcal{S}_N$, with all $N!$ possible per...
We investigate a majority-vote model on two-layer multiplex networks with community structure. In our majority-vote model, the edges on each layer encode one type of social relationship and an individual changes their opinion based on the majority opinions of their neighbors in each layer. To capture the fact that different relationships often have...
Kinematic variables have been playing an important role in collider phenomenology, as they expedite discoveries of new particles by separating signal events from unwanted background events and allow for measurements of particle properties such as masses, couplings, spins, etc. For the past 10 years, an enormous number of kinematic variables have be...
The aim of this work is to investigate the behavior of equidivisibility under coproduct in the category of pro-$\mathsf{V}$ semigroups, where $\mathsf{V}$ is a pseudovariety of finite semigroups. Exploring the relationship with the two-sided Karnofsky--Rhodes expansion, the notions of KR-cover and strong KR-cover for profinite semigroups are introd...
Sn-doped MnNiFeO4 ceramic with negative temperature coefficient (NTC) was prepared through the low-temperature solid-phase reaction route (LTSPR), aiming at improving the sintering behavior and modulating the electrical properties. The experimental results of the ceramic powder precursor indicate that the calcination of the ceramic precursors at ab...
