Dynamics of symmetry-protected topological matter on a quantum computer

Aug 8, 2024 | link.aps.org | Miguel Mercado |Kyle Chen |Aiichiro Nakano |Parth Hemant Darekar

Abstract Control of topological edge modes is desirable for encoding quantum information resiliently against external noise. Their implementation on quantum hardware, however, remains a long-standing problem due to current limitations of circuit depth and noise, which grows with the number of time steps.
Extracting Geometry and Topology of Orange Pericarps for the Design of Bioinspired Energy Absorbing Materials

Jul 27, 2024 | onlinelibrary.wiley.com | Chelsea Fox |Kyle Chen |Tommaso Magrini |Micaela Antonini

1 Introduction Nature provides many examples of materials with desirable mechanical properties, such as high strength,[1-5] high toughness,[4, 6-8] and high impact resistance.[2, 9-12] Some of these materials are periodic, like nacre,[1, 4] conch shells,[13] and beetle wings,[5] while others have irregular structures, like trabecular bone[2, 9, 10] and citrus pericarp.[14, 15] However, periodic bioinspired materials are more widely studied than irregular materials, as they are more easily...

The way you frame your design decisions and intentions with a story or narrative can drastically change the way people view and envision your designs. To explore how to be a better storyteller through visuals and words, I’m creating a Pecha Kucha presentation about who I am versus who I am perceived to be.
