Quantum entanglement from empirical bitstringsYannick Meurice, PhDWe motivate the use of rectangular arrays of Rydberg atoms as analog simulators for Abelian lattice gauge theories. We discuss the rich phase diagram of the simulator and the continuum limits that can be approached by varying the lattice spacing and the detuning. We compare the cost of estimating the entanglement entropy with twin copies and bitstring mutual information. The mutual information becomes a tighter bound for the...

StokeSat: A SmallSat Mission for Soft X-ray PolarimetryCasey DeRoo, PhDPolarimetric measurements in the soft X-ray (100 – 500 eV) are theorized to be a powerful discriminator between physical models describing astronomical sources with extreme magnetic fields. For example, soft X-ray polarimetry may provide insight into whether the relativistic jets in supermassive black holes are powered by magnetic fields or the kinetic energy of baryonic matter. StokeSat is a soft X-ray polarimetry mission...

This is the first step in the REDCap training series. In this training, we will build a new REDCap project from scratch and cover basic features such as: • Building forms with proper field types and validation • Assigning user permissions • Project backup and overview with data dictionary, codebook, pdf, and xml • Ensuring your project works properly by testing with real world application • Making mid-study modifications safely after having started data collection in production • Creating...

This training will provide an in-depth look at TriNetX and show you how to use the tool. We will go through building a study, searching for a specific population, and finally what information you can gather from the specific cohort. We will also discuss next steps on getting data extracted for research. After this training you will have a thorough understanding of how to use TriNetX and what the process is to get data extracted for research studies. Register by clicking the virtual event link...
