  abstract     = {{Despite the fundamental role the Quantum Satisfiability (QSAT) problem has
played in quantum complexity theory, a central question remains open: At which
local dimension does the complexity of QSAT transition from "easy" to "hard"?
Here, we study QSAT with each constraint acting on a $k$-dimensional and
$l$-dimensional qudit pair, denoted $(k,l)$-QSAT. Our first main result shows
that, surprisingly, QSAT on qubits can remain $\mathsf{QMA}_1$-hard, in that
$(2,5)$-QSAT is $\mathsf{QMA}_1$-complete. In contrast, $2$-SAT on qubits is
well-known to be poly-time solvable [Bravyi, 2006]. Our second main result
proves that $(3,d)$-QSAT on the 1D line with $d\in O(1)$ is also
$\mathsf{QMA}_1$-hard. Finally, we initiate the study of 1D $(2,d)$-QSAT by
giving a frustration-free 1D Hamiltonian with a unique, entangled ground state.
  Our first result uses a direct embedding, combining a novel clock
construction with the 2D circuit-to-Hamiltonian construction of [Gosset, Nagaj,
2013]. Of note is a new simplified and analytic proof for the latter (as
opposed to a partially numeric proof in [GN13]). This exploits Unitary Labelled
Graphs [Bausch, Cubitt, Ozols, 2017] together with a new "Nullspace Connection
Lemma", allowing us to break low energy analyses into small patches of
projectors, and to improve the soundness analysis of [GN13] from
$\Omega(1/T^6)$ to $\Omega(1/T^2)$, for $T$ the number of gates. Our second
result goes via black-box reduction: Given an arbitrary 1D Hamiltonian $H$ on
$d'$-dimensional qudits, we show how to embed it into an effective null-space
of a 1D $(3,d)$-QSAT instance, for $d\in O(1)$. Our approach may be viewed as a
weaker notion of "simulation" (\`a la [Bravyi, Hastings 2017], [Cubitt,
Montanaro, Piddock 2018]). As far as we are aware, this gives the first
"black-box simulation"-based $\mathsf{QMA}_1$-hardness result, i.e. for
frustration-free Hamiltonians.}},

  abstract     = {{Estimating ground state energies of many-body Hamiltonians is a central task
in many areas of quantum physics. In this work, we give quantum algorithms
which, given any $k$-body Hamiltonian $H$, compute an estimate for the ground
state energy and prepare a quantum state achieving said energy, respectively.
Specifically, for any $\varepsilon>0$, our algorithms return, with high
probability, an estimate of the ground state energy of $H$ within additive
error $\varepsilon M$, or a quantum state with the corresponding energy. Here,
$M$ is the total strength of all interaction terms, which in general is
extensive in the system size. Our approach makes no assumptions about the
geometry or spatial locality of interaction terms of the input Hamiltonian and
thus handles even long-range or all-to-all interactions, such as in quantum
chemistry, where lattice-based techniques break down. In this fully general
setting, the runtime of our algorithms scales as $2^{cn/2}$ for $c<1$, yielding
the first quantum algorithms for low-energy estimation breaking the natural
bound based on Grover search. The core of our approach is remarkably simple,
and relies on showing that any $k$-body Hamiltonian has a low-energy subspace
of exponential dimension.}},

  abstract     = {{We investigate the role of energy, i.e. average photon number, as a resource
in the computational complexity of bosonic systems. We show three sets of
results: (1. Energy growth rates) There exist bosonic gate sets which increase
energy incredibly rapidly, obtaining e.g. infinite energy in finite/constant
time. We prove these high energies can make computing properties of bosonic
computations, such as deciding whether a given computation will attain infinite
energy, extremely difficult, formally undecidable. (2. Lower bounds on
computational power) More energy ``='' more computational power. For example,
certain gate sets allow poly-time bosonic computations to simulate PTOWER, the
set of deterministic computations whose runtime scales as a tower of
exponentials with polynomial height. Even just exponential energy and $O(1)$
modes suffice to simulate NP, which, importantly, is a setup similar to that of
the recent bosonic factoring algorithm of [Brenner, Caha, Coiteux-Roy and
Koenig (2024)]. For simpler gate sets, we show an energy hierarchy theorem. (3.
Upper bounds on computational power) Bosonic computations with polynomial
energy can be simulated in BQP, ``physical'' bosonic computations with
arbitrary finite energy are decidable, and the gate set consisting of Gaussian
gates and the cubic phase gate can be simulated in PP, with exponential bound
on energy, improving upon the previous PSPACE upper bound. Finally, combining
upper and lower bounds yields no-go theorems for a continuous-variable
Solovay--Kitaev theorem for gate sets such as the Gaussian and cubic phase
gates.}},

  abstract     = {{The Quantum k-SAT problem is the quantum generalization of the k-SAT problem.
It is the problem whether a given local Hamiltonian is frustration-free.
Frustration-free means that the ground state of the k-local Hamiltonian
minimizes the energy of every local interaction term simultaneously. This is a
central question in quantum physics and a canonical QMA_1-complete problem. The
Quantum k-SAT problem is not as well studied as the classical k-SAT problem in
terms of special tractable cases, approximation algorithms and parameterized
complexity. In this paper, we will give a graph-theoretic study of the Quantum
k-SAT problem with the structures core and radius. These hypergraph structures
are important to solve the Quantum k-SAT problem. We can solve a Quantum k-SAT
instance in polynomial time if the derived hypergraph has a core of size n-m+a,
where a is a constant, and the radius is at most logarithmic. If it exists, we
can find a core of size n-m+a with the best possible radius in polynomial time,

  abstract     = {{<jats:p>Local droplet etching and subsequent refilling enables the fabrication of highly symmetric quantum dots with low fine structure splitting, suitable for generating polarization entangled photons. While well established in GaAs/AlxGa1−xAs, this approach does not yield emission in the telecom bands required for low loss fiber-based quantum communication. To achieve emission at 1.55 μm, local droplet etching must be adapted to alternative material platforms such as InP. Here, we systematically investigate how the etching material deposition rate and etching time influence nanohole morphology in In0.52Al0.48As layers lattice-matched to InP. In the first experiment, InAl was deposited at fluxes of 0.2–4.0 Å s−1 at Tetch = 350 °C and 460 °C. Lower fluxes produced nanoholes with lower density and larger ring diameters, indicating fewer and larger initial droplets, consistent with scaling theory. The average nanohole diameter decreased monotonically with increasing flux, whereas the average depth showed no clear dependence on flux. In the second experiment, etching times of 30–600 s were tested for InAl, In, and Al droplets. Average nanohole diameters remained constant for Al across all etching times, but decreased for In and InAl with increasing etching time, suggesting sidewall redeposition during etching. For all droplet types, depths peaked at intermediate times and decreased for prolonged etching, consistent with material diffusion into the nanohole after droplet consumption.</jats:p>}},

Friction-induced solid-state recycling of aluminum scrap to production endless semi-finished products. Scrap is fed into a continuously rotating wheel. This requires less energy compared to heat-based recycling processes. Different sizes, shapes and surfaces of chips can be used as starting material in the process. The influence of this has been shown in past publications. A native oxide layer is a fixed component of aluminum surface. This layer is broken up during the forming process, allowing the aluminum to bond. In addition to the geometry, the surface finishes and the thickness of the oxide layer are therefore also important input variables in friction-induced solid-state recycling. The oxide layers on the chips were determined for the investigation. In addition, different layer thicknesses were produced to survey their influence. The resulting semi-finished products were evaluated on the basis of their tensile strength and microstructure. The main result of the investigations is the fact that semi-finished products made from chips with thicker oxide layers tend to be more brittle. In addition, thick oxide layers cause microstructural and surface defects.</jats:p>}},

Das erste Thema ist die Herleitung einer Methode zur Charakterisierung des Abbauverhaltens von Thermoplasten sowie die Nutzung der Charakterisierung als Vorhersagemodell. Das zweite Thema behandelt die Auslegung von Wave-Schnecken basierend auf numerischen Simulationen samt Validierung anhand von sieben Energy-Transfer-Schnecken im Vergleich zu drei konventionellen Schnecken. Hierbei werden unter anderem der Materialabbau, die thermische und die stoffliche Homogenität betrachtet, um ein umfassendes Bild über das Prozessverhalten der Schnecken zu schaffen.

  abstract     = {{Ferroelectric domain wall (DW) conductivity (DWC) can be attributed to two separate mechanisms: (a) the injection/ejection of charge carriers across the Schottky barrier formed at the (metal-)electrode-DW junction and (b) the transport of those charge carriers along the DW. Current-voltage (I-U) characteristics, recorded at variable temperatures from LiNbO3 (LNO) DWs, are clearly able to differentiate between these two contributions. Practically, they allow us to directly quantify the physical parameters relevant to the two mechanisms (a) and (b) mentioned above. These are, for example, the resistance of the DW, the saturation current, the ideality factor, and the Schottky barrier height of the electrode-DW junction. Furthermore, the activation energies needed to initiate the thermally activated electronic transport along the DWs can be extracted. In addition, we show that electronic transport along LNO DWs can be elegantly viewed and interpreted in an adapted semiconductor picture based on a double-diode, double-resistor equivalent-circuit model, the R2D2 model. Finally, our R2D2 model was checked for its universality by successfully fitting the I-U curves of not only z-cut LNO bulk DWs, but equally of z-cut thin-film LNO DWs, and of x-cut thin-film DWs as reported in literature.}},
