Energy-momentum tensor in the 2D Ising CFT in full modular space

A set of lattice operators for the energy-momentum (EM) tensor in the Ising CFT is derived in the spin variables. Our expression works under arbitrary affine transformation both on triangular and hexagonal lattices (where the former includes the rectangular lattices). The correctness of the operators is numerically confirmed in Monte Carlo calculations by comparing the results with the conformal Ward identity, including the operator normalization. In the derivation of the EM tensor, a staggered structure of the affine-transformed hexagonal lattice is analyzed, which shows a peculiar shift from the circumcenter dual lattice and appears as a mixing angle between the holomorphic part $T(z)$ and the antiholomorphic part $\tilde T(\bar z)$. The details of this contribution will appear in a subsequent paper.

2D Modeling of Plasma Streamer and Glow Phases at Ammonia-Air Flame Conditions

Streamer and glow plasma phases have been modeled at two thermochemical states of an ammonia-air flame: fresh reactants and burnt products. A new AMReX-based solver has been verified against benchmarks in the literature and has been used to perform these simulations. A Helmholtz-equation based photoionization model with parameters accounting for the presence of NH3 in air has been coupled with the solver to accurately model the streamer propagation phase. A detailed plasma kinetics mechanism has been compiled and used to predict the evolution of electrons, excited states, ions, and radicals during streamer propagation and glow formation. The propagation velocity of streamers was found increase by almost two-fold when the mixture was changed from the fresh reactants to the burnt products. Moreover, vibrational excitation was found to be limited to the streamer body, whereas ionization predominantly occurred at the streamer head, as is expected. Finally, the differences in the pathways of O and H radical production during the streamer propagation and glow phases have been briefly discussed.

Analysis of RF Surface Loss in a Planar 2D Qubit

The Josephson junction and shunt capacitor form a transmon qubit, which is the cornerstone of modern quantum computing platforms. For reliable quantum computing, it is important how long a qubit can remain in a superposition of quantum states, which is determined by the coherence time (T1). The coherence time of a qubit effectively sets the "lifetime" of usable quantum information, determining how long quantum computations can be performed before errors occur and information is lost. There are several sources of decoherence in transmon qubits, but the predominant one is generally considered to be dielectric losses in the natural oxide layer formed on the surface of the superconductor. In this paper, we present a numerical study of microwave surface losses in planar superconducting antennas of different transmon qubit designs. An asymptotic method for estimating the energy participation ratio in ultrathin films of nanometer scales is proposed, and estimates are given for the limits of achievable minimum RF losses depending on the electrical properties of the surface oxide and the interface of the qubit with the substrate material.

Space processing applications payload equipment study. Volume 2D: SPA supplemental power and heat rejection kit

The design and application of a supplementary power and heat rejection kit for the Spacelab are discussed. Two subsystems of electric power and thermal control were analyzed to define the requirements for the power and heat rejection kit (PHRK). Twelve exemplary experiments were defined and power timelines were developed. From these timeline, the experiment requirements for sustained power, peak power, and energy were determined. The electrical power subsystem of the PHRK will consist of two fuel cells, oxygen and hydrogen reactant tank assemblies, water storage tanks, plumbing, cabling, and inverters to convert the nominal 28 volt dc fuel cell output to ac power.

Use of adaptive walls in 2D tests

A new method for computing the wall effects gives precise answers to some questions arising in adaptive wall concept applications: length of adapted regions, fairings with up and downstream regions, residual misadjustments effects, reference conditions. The acceleration of the iterative process convergence and the development of an efficient technology used in CERT T2 wind tunnels give in a single run the required test conditions. Samples taken from CAST 7 tests demonstrate the efficiency of the whole process to obtain significant results with considerations of tridimensional case extension.
