\section{Introduction}
\label{sec1}

The physical context for our discussion is the accuracy threshold theorem
\cite{att1,att2,att3,att4,att5,att6,att7,att8} which established that a quantum
computation of arbitrary duration could be done, with arbitrarily small error
probability, in the presence of noise, and using imperfect quantum gates,
under the following conditions. (1)~The computational data is protected by a
sufficiently layered concatenated quantum error correcting code.
(2)~Fault-tolerant protocols for quantum computation, error correction, and
measurement are used. (3)~A universal set of unencoded quantum gates is
available with the property that each gate in the set has an error probability
$P_{e}$ that falls below a value $P_{a}$ known as the accuracy threshold. The
value of the threshold is model-dependent, though for many, $P_{a}\sim
10^{-4}$ has become a rough-and-ready estimate. Thus gates are anticipated to
be approaching the accuracies needed for fault-tolerant quantum computing
when $P_{e}<10^{-4}$. One of the principal challenges facing the field of
quantum computing is finding a way to implement a universal set of unencoded
quantum gates for which all gate error probabilities satisfy $P_{e}< 10^{-4}$.

In this Letter numerical simulation results are presented which suggest that a
class of non-adiabatic rapid passage sweeps, first realized experimentally in
1991 \cite{zwan1}, and known as twisted rapid passage (TRP), should be capable
of implementing a universal set of unencoded quantum gates $\mathcal{G}_{u}$
that operate non-adiabatically, and with gate error probabilities satisfying
$P_{e}<10^{-4}$. $\mathcal{G}_{u}$ consists of the one-qubit Hadamard and
NOT gates, together with variants of the one-qubit $\pi /8$ and phase gates,
and the two-qubit controlled-phase gate. The universality of $\mathcal{G}_{u}$
was demonstrated in Ref.~\cite{lhg2}. This level of gate accuracy is due to
controllable quantum interference effects that arise during a TRP sweep
\cite{fg1,lhg1}, and which were observed using NMR in 2003 \cite{zwan2}.
To find sweep parameter values that yield such high-performance gates, it
proved necessary: (i)~to combine the simulations with an optimization procedure
that searches for minima of $P_{e}$ \cite{lhg2,lhg1}; and (ii)~for the
modified controlled-phase gate, to also apply the symmetrized evolution of
Ref.~\cite{zan}.

The outline of this Letter is as follows. We begin with a summary of the
essential properties of TRP. This is followed by a discussion of how
the simulation and optimization are done, and how symmetrized evolution is
incorporated into the two-qubit dynamics. We then present our simulation
results for the different gates in $\mathcal{G}_{u}$. We close with a
discussion of our results and of future work.

\section{Preliminaries}
\label{sec2}

To introduce TRP \cite{fg1,lhg1}, we consider a single qubit interacting with
an external control field $\mathbf{F}(t)$ via the Zeeman interaction
$H_{z}(t) = -\mbox{\boldmath{$\sigma$}}\cdot \mathbf{F}(t)$, where the
$\sigma_{i}$ are the Pauli matrices ($i=x,y,z$). TRP is a generalization of
adiabatic rapid passage (ARP). In ARP, the field $\mathbf{F} (t)$ is slowly inverted
over a time $T_{0}$ such that $\mathbf{F} (t) = at\hat{\mathbf{z}} + b\hat{\mathbf{x}}$. In TRP, the
control field is allowed to twist in the $x$-$y$ plane with time-varying
azimuthal angle $\phi (t)$, while simultaneously undergoing inversion along
the $z$-axis:
\begin{equation}
\mathbf{F} (t) = at\hat{\mathbf{z}} + b\cos\phi (t)\hat{\mathbf{x}} + b\sin\phi (t)\hat{\mathbf{y}} .
\label{TRPcontrol}
\end{equation}
Here $-T_{0}/2\leq t\leq T_{0}/2$, and the TRP inversion can be non-adiabatic.

\subsection{Controllable Quantum Interference}
\label{sec2a}

As shown in Ref.~\cite{lhg1}, the qubit undergoes resonance when $at -\hbar
\dot{\phi}(t)/2 = 0$. For polynomial twist with $\phi_{n}(t) = (2/n) Bt^{n}$,
this condition has $n-1$ roots, though only real-valued roots correspond to
resonance. Ref.~\cite{fg1} showed that for $n\geq 3$, the qubit undergoes
resonance multiple times during a \textit{single\/} TRP sweep: (i)~for all
$n\geq 3$, when $B>0$; and (ii) for odd $n\geq 3$, when $B<0$. For the
remainder of this Letter we restrict ourselves to $B>0$, and to quartic twist
for which $n=4$ in $\phi_{n}(t)$. For quartic twist, the qubit passes
through resonance at the times $t=0,\pm\sqrt{a/\hbar B}$ \cite{fg1}. Thus the
time separating the qubit resonances can be controlled through variation of
the sweep parameters $B$ and $a$. Ref.~\cite{fg1} showed that these multiple
resonances have a strong influence on the qubit transition probability,
allowing transitions to be strongly enhanced or suppressed through a small
variation of the sweep parameters. Ref.~\cite{fg2} calculated the qubit
transition amplitude to all orders in the non-adiabatic coupling. The result
found there can be re-expressed as the following diagrammatic series:
\begin{equation}

\hspace{0.05in} + \hspace{0.05in} \cdots \hspace{0.05in} .
\label{diagser}
\end{equation}
Lower (upper) lines correspond to propagation in the negative (positive)
energy level, and the vertical lines correspond to transitions between the
two energy levels. The calculation sums the probability amplitudes for all
interfering alternatives that allow the qubit to end up in the positive
energy level at time $t$ given that it was initially in the negative energy
level. As we have seen, varying the TRP sweep parameters varies the time
separting the resonances. This in turn changes the value of each diagram in
eq.~(\ref{diagser}), and thus alters the interference between alternatives in
the quantum superposition, It is the sensitivity of the individual
alternatives/diagrams to the time separation of the resonances that allows TRP
to manipulate this quantum interference. Zwanziger et al.\ \cite{zwan2}
observed these interference effects in the transition probability using NMR
and found quantitative agreement between theory and experiment. It is the link
between the TRP sweep parameters and this quantum interference that we believe
makes it possible for TRP to drive highly accurate non-adiabatic one- and
two-qubit gates.

\subsection{Simulation and Optimization}
\label{sec2b}

A detailed presentation of our simulation and optimization protocols appears
in Refs.~\cite{lhg2,lhg1}. We can only give a brief sketch of that presentation
here. As is well-known, the Schrodinger dynamics applies a unitary
transformation $U$ to an initial quantum state $|\psi\rangle$ which is driven
by the system Hamiltonian $H(t)$. The Hamiltonian (see below) is assumed to
contain terms
that Zeeman-couple each qubit to the TRP control field $\mathbf{F} (t)$. Assigning
values to the TRP sweep parameters ($a$,$b$,$B$,$T_{0}$) determines $H(t)$,
which then determines the actual unitary transformation $U_{a}$ applied. The
task is to find sweep parameter values that produce a $U_{a}$ that approximates
a target gate $U_{t}$ sufficiently closely that its error probability (defined
below) satisfies $P_{e}<10^{-4}$. In the following, the target gate $U_{t}$
will be one of the gates in the universal set $\mathcal{G}_{u}$. Since
$\mathcal{G}_{u}$ contains only one- and two-qubit gates, our simulations will only
involve one- and two-qubit systems. For the one-qubit simulations, the
Hamiltonian $H_{1}(t)$ is the Zeeman Hamiltonian introduced earlier.
Ref.~\cite{lhg2} showed that it can be written in the following dimensionless
form:
\begin{equation}
\mathcal{H}_{1}(\tau ) = (1/\lambda )\left\{ -\tau\sigma_{z} -\cos\phi_{4}(\tau )
                     \sigma_{x} -\sin\phi_{4}(\tau )\sigma_{y} \right\} .
\label{oneqbtHam}
\end{equation}
Here: $\tau = (a/b)t$; $\lambda = \hbar a/b^{2}$; and for quartic twist,
$\phi_{4}(\tau ) = (\eta_{4}/2\lambda )\tau^{4}$ with $\eta_{4} =\hbar Bb^{2}/
a^{3}$. For the two-qubit simulations, the Hamiltonian $H_{2}(t)$ contains
terms that Zeeman-couple each qubit to the TRP control field, and an Ising
interaction that couples the two qubits. Note that alternative two-qubit
interactions can easily be considered, though we focus on the Ising interaction
here. The energy-levels for the resulting Hamiltonian contain a
resonance-frequency degeneracy that was found to spoil gate performance.
Specifically, the resonance-frequency for transitions between the ground-
and first-excited states ($E_{1}\leftrightarrow E_{2}$) is the same as that
for transitions between the second- and third-excited states ($E_{3}
\leftrightarrow E_{4}$). To remove this degeneracy a term $c_{4}|E_{4}(\tau )
\rangle\langle E_{4}(\tau )|$ was added to $H_{2}(t)$. Combining all these
remarks, one arrives at the following dimensionless two-qubit Hamiltonian
\cite{lhg2}:
\begin{eqnarray}
\lefteqn{\mathcal{H}_{2}(\tau )  = } \nonumber\\
 & & [-(d_{1}+d_{2})/2 +\tau /\lambda ]\sigma^{1}_{z}
                        -(d_{3}/\lambda )[\cos\phi_{4}\sigma^{1}_{x} +
                         \sin\phi_{4}\sigma_{y}^{1}] \nonumber\\
  &  & \hspace{0.2in}+[-d_{2}/2 +\tau /\lambda ]\sigma_{z}^{2} -(1/\lambda )
         [\cos\phi_{4}
         \sigma_{x}^{2}+\sin\phi_{4}\sigma_{y}^{2} ] \nonumber\\
  &  & \hspace{0.40in} -(\pi d_{4}/2)\sigma_{z}^{1}\sigma_{z}^{2} + c_{4}
        |E_{4}(\tau )\rangle
         \langle E_{4}(\tau )| .
\label{twoqbtHam}
\end{eqnarray}
Here: (1)~$b_{i} = \hbar\gamma_{i}B_{rf}/2$, $\omega_{i}=\gamma_{i}B_{0}$, and
$i=1,2$; (2)~$\tau = (a/b_{2})t$, $\lambda = \hbar a/b_{2}^{2}$, and $\eta_{4}
=\hbar Bb_{2}^{2}/a^{3}$; and (3)~$d_{1}=(\omega_{1}-\omega_{2})b_{2}/a$,
$d_{2}=(\Delta /a)b_{2}$, $d_{3}=b_{1}/b_{2}$, and $d_{4}=(J/a)b_{2}$, where
$\Delta$ is a detuning parameter \cite{lhg2}.

The numerical simulation assigns values to the TRP sweep parameters and then
integrates the Schrodinger equation to obtain the unitary transformation
$U_{a}$ produced by the sweep. To assess how closely $U_{a}$ approximates the
target gate $U_{t}$, it proves useful to introduce the positive operator $P=
(U_{a}^{\dagger}-U_{t}^{\dagger})(U_{a}-U_{t})$. Given $U_{a}$, $U_{t}$, and
an initial state $|\psi\rangle$, one can work out the error probability $P_{e}
(\psi )$ for the TRP final state $|\psi_{a}\rangle = U_{a}|\psi\rangle$,
relative to the target final state $|\psi_{t}\rangle = U_{t}|\psi\rangle$. The
gate error probability $P_{e}$ is defined to be the worst-case value of
$P_{e}(\psi )$: $P_{e}\equiv \max_{|\psi\rangle}P_{e}(\psi )$.
Ref.~\cite{lhg1} showed that $P_{e}$ satisfies the bound $P_{e}\leq
Tr\, P$, where the RHS is the trace of the positivie operator $P$ introduced
above. Once $U_{a}$ is known, $Tr\, P$ is easily evaluated, and so it makes
a convenient proxy for $P_{e}$, which is harder to calculate. To find TRP
sweep parameter values that yield highly accurate non-adiabatic quantum gates,
it proved necessary to combine the numerical simulations with function
minimization algorithms that search for sweep parameter values that minimize
the $Tr\, P$ upper bound \cite{numrec}. The multi-dimensional downhill simplex
method was used for the one-qubit gates, while simulated annealing was used
for the two-qubit modified controlled-phase gate. This produced the one-qubit
gate results that will be presented below. However, for the modified
controlled-phase gate, simulated annealing was only able to find parameter
values that gave $P_{e}\leq 1.27\times 10^{-3}$ \cite{lhg2}. To further
improve the performance of this two-qubit gate, it proved necessary to
incorporate the symmetrized evolution of Ref.~\cite{zan} to obtain a modified
controlled-phase gate with $P_{e}<10^{-4}$. We now briefly describe how
symmetrized evolution is incorporated into our simulations.

\subsection{Symmetrized Evolution and TRP}
\label{sec2c}

Ref.~\cite{zan} introduced a unitary group-symmetrization procedure that
yields an effective dynamics that is invariant under the action of a finite
group $\mathcal{G}$. We incorporate this group-symmetrization into a TRP sweep by
identifying the group $\mathcal{G}$ with a finite symmetry group of the target gate
$U_{t}$, and then applying the procedure of Ref.~\cite{zan} to filter out the
$\mathcal{G}$-noninvariant part of the TRP dynamics. As the $\mathcal{G}$-noninvariant
dynamics is manifestly bad dynamics relative to $U_{t}$, group-symmetrized
TRP yields a better approximation to $U_{t}$. We briefly describe the
group-symmetrization procedure, and then show how it can be incorporated into
a TRP sweep.

Consider a quantum system $\mathcal{Q}$ with time-independent Hamiltonian $H$ and
Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. The problem is to provide $\mathcal{Q}$ with an effective
dynamics that is invariant under a finite group $\mathcal{G}$, even when $H$ itself
is not $\mathcal{G}$-invariant. This symmetrized dynamics manifests as a
$\mathcal{G}$-invariant effective propagator $\tilde{U}$ that evolves the system
state over a time $t$. Let $\{ \rho_{i}=\rho (g_{i})\}$ be a unitary
representation of $\mathcal{G}$ on $\mathcal{H}$, and let $|\mathcal{G} |$ denote the order of
$\mathcal{G}$. The procedure begins by partitioning the time-interval ($0$,$t$) into
$N$ subintervals of duration $\Delta t_{N}=t/N$, and then further partitioning
each subinterval into $|\mathcal{G} |$ smaller intervals of duration $\delta t_{N}
=\Delta t_{N}/|\mathcal{G} |$. Let $\delta U_{N} =\exp\left[ -(i/\hbar )\delta t_{N}
H\right]$ denote the $H$-generated propagator for a time-interval $\delta
t_{N}$, and assume that the time to apply each $\rho_{i}\in\mathcal{G}$ is negligible
compared to $\delta t_{N}$ (bang-bang limit \cite{viollyd}). In each
subinterval, the following sequence of transformations is applied: $U(\Delta
t_{N}) = \prod_{i=1}^{|\mathcal{G} |}\rho_{i}^{\dagger}\delta U_{N}\rho_{i}$.
Ref.~\cite{zan} showed that: (i)~$U(\Delta t_{N})\rightarrow \exp [-(i/\hbar )
\Delta t_{N}\tilde{H}]$ as $N\rightarrow \infty$, where $\tilde{H} =
(1/|\mathcal{G} |)\sum_{i=1}^{|\mathcal{G} |}\rho_{i}^{\dagger}H\rho_{i}$; (ii)~$\tilde{H}$
is $\mathcal{G}$-invariant ($[\tilde{H},\rho_{i}]=0$ for all $\rho_{i}\in\mathcal{G}$);
and (iii)~the propagator $\tilde{U}$ over ($0$,$t$) is $\tilde{U}=\exp [-(i/
\hbar )t\tilde{H}]$, which is $\mathcal{G}$-invariant due to the $\mathcal{G}$-invariance
of $\tilde{H}$. The end result is an effective propagator $\tilde{U}$ that is
$\mathcal{G}$-invariant as desired.

This procedure can be generalized to allow for a time-dependent Hamiltonian
$H(t)$. To do this, the time interval ($0$,$t$) must be divided into
sufficiently small subintervals that $H(t)$ is effectively constant in each.
Within each subinterval, the above time-independent argument is applied,
yielding a $\mathcal{G}$-symmetrized propagator for that subinterval. Combining the
effective propagators for each of the subintervals then gives the full
propagator $\tilde{U} = T[\exp (-i/\hbar\int_{0}^{t}d\tau \tilde{H}(\tau ))]$,
where $T$ indicates a time-ordered exponential, and $\tilde{H}(t)= (1/|\mathcal{G} |)
\sum_{i=1}^{|\mathcal{G} |}\rho_{i}^{\dagger}H(t)\rho_{i}$.

For our two-qubit simulations, the target gate is the modified controlled-phase
gate $V_{cp}=(1/2)[(I^{1} +\sigma^{1}_{z})I^{2} -(I^{1}-\sigma_{z}^{1})
\sigma_{z}^{2}]$ which is invariant under the group $\mathcal{G} = \{ I^{1}I^{2},
\sigma_{z}^{1},\sigma_{z}^{2},\sigma_{z}^{1}\sigma_{z}^{2}\}$. Thus $|\mathcal{G} |
=4$, and we set $\rho_{1}=I^{1}I^{2}, \ldots , \rho_{4}=\sigma_{z}^{1}
\sigma_{z}^{2}$. Switching over to dimensionless time, we partition the sweep
time-interval ($-\tau_{0}/2,\tau_{0}/2$) into sufficiently small subintervals
that our two-qubit Hamiltonian $H_{2}(\tau )$ is effectively constant within
each. We then apply the time-independent symmetrization procedure to each
subinterval with the $V_{cp}$ symmetry group acting as $\mathcal{G}$. Combining the
effective propagators for each of the subintervals as above gives the
$\mathcal{G}$-symmetrized propagator for the full TRP sweep $\tilde{U}= T[\exp
(-i/\hbar )\int_{-\tau_{0}/2}^{\tau_{0}/2} d\tau \tilde{H}(\tau ))]$, with
$\tilde{H}(\tau ) = (1/4)\sum_{i=1}^{4}\rho_{i}^{\dagger}H_{2}(\tau )\rho_{i}$.
We shall see that $\mathcal{G}$-symmetrized TRP yields an approximation to $V_{cp}$
with $P_{e}<10^{-4}$.

\section{Simulation Results}
\label{sec3}

\subsection{One-qubit gates}
\label{sec3a}

Operator expressions for the target gates are:
(i)~\textit{Hadamard\/}---$U_{h}=(1/\sqrt{2})(\sigma_{z}+\sigma_{x})$;
(ii)~\textit{NOT\/}---$U_{not}=\sigma_{x}$;
(iii)~\textit{modified $\pi /8$\/}---$V_{\pi /8}=\cos (\pi /8)\sigma_{x}-
\sin (\pi /8)\sigma_{y}$; and
(iv)~\textit{modified Phase\/}---$V_{p}=(1/\sqrt{2})(\sigma_{x}-\sigma_{y})$.
The gate fidelity is calculated using $\mathcal{F}_{n} = (1/2^{n}) Re[Tr(
U^{\dagger}_{a}U_{t})]$, where $n$ is the number of qubits acted on by the
gate. This fidelity is especially convenient as it is related to our $Tr\, P$
upper bound: $\mathcal{F}_{n} = 1 -(1/2^{n+1})Tr\, P$ \cite{lhg2}. Finally, the
connection between the TRP experimental and theoretical parameters is given
in Refs.~\cite{lhg2}, \cite{fg1}, and \cite{lhg1} for superconducting, NMR,
and atom-based qubits, respectively.

A study of the TRP-implementation of these one-qubit gates was first reported
in Ref.~\cite{lhg1}. It proves useful to reparameterize the TRP sweep
parameters $\lambda\rightarrow\lambda^{\ast}$ and $\eta_{4}\rightarrow
\eta_{4}^{\ast}$, where $\lambda =\lambda^{\ast}\exp [ -(\lambda^{\ast}-
\lambda^{0})/\lambda^{0}]$ and $\eta_{4}=\eta_{4}^{\ast}\exp [-(\eta_{4}^{\ast}
-\eta_{4}^{0})/\eta_{4}^{0}]$. For each one-qubit gate in $\mathcal{G}_{u}$, the
fixed-point of the reparameterization ($\lambda^{0}$,$\,\eta_{4}^{0}$) is
given by the optimum sweep parameter values found in Ref.~\cite{lhg1}.
Table~\ref{table1} presents the values for the optimum sweep parameters
($\lambda^{\ast}$,$\,\eta_{4}^{\ast}$) that produced our best results for
$Tr\, P$ for each of the gates in $\mathcal{G}_{u}$.\hspace{-0.1in}
\begin{largetable}
\caption{Simulation results for the one-qubit gates in $\mathcal{G}_{u}$. The gate error
probability $P_{e}$ satisfies $P_{e}\leq Tr\, P$.}

\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ccc|c|cc}\hline

 $\eta_{4}^{0}$ \\\hline
$U_{h}$ & $5.85$ & $2.93\times 10^{-4}$ & $9.30\times 10^{-6}$ & $5.8511$ &

\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{largetable}
The fixed-point ($\lambda^{0}$,$\,\eta_{4}^{0}$) for each gate is also listed.
In all one-qubit simulations,
the dimensionless inversion time was $\tau_{0}=80.0$. Since $P_{e}\leq Tr\, P$,
we see that $P_{e}<10^{-4}$ for all one-qubit gates in $\mathcal{G}_{u}$. The $Tr\, P$
values yield the following gate fidelities: (i)~Hadamard---$\mathcal{F}_{h} =
0.9999\, 98$; (ii)~NOT---$\mathcal{F}_{not}=0.9999\, 97$; (iii)~modified
$\pi /8$---$\mathcal{F}_{\pi /8} =0.9999\, 91$; and (iv)~modified Phase---$\mathcal{F}_{p}
=0.9999\, 78$. In Table~\ref{table2}\hspace{-0.1in}

\caption{Variation of $Tr\, P$ for the Hadamard gate when the TRP sweep

$Tr\, P$ for the other one-qubit gates in $\mathcal{G}_{u}$ is comparable

are not shown.}
\label{table2}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ccc|ccc}\hline
$\lambda^{\ast}$ & $\eta_{4}^{\ast}$ & $Tr\, P$ & $\eta_{4}^{\ast}$ &

                      & $5.86$ & $1.12\times 10^{-5}$\\
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{largetable}
we show how $Tr\, P$ varies when
$\lambda^{\ast}$ and $\eta_{4}^{\ast}$ are varied slightly from their optimum
values for the Hadamard gate. Similar behavior occurs for the other one-qubit
gates in $\mathcal{G}_{u}$, and so in the interests of brevity, corresponding Tables
for these other gates are not shown. We see that gate performance is a
slowly-varying function of the sweep parameters
($\lambda^{\ast}$,$\,\eta_{4}^{\ast}$).

\subsection{Modified controlled-phase gate}
\label{sec3b}

We complete the universal set $\mathcal{G}_{u}$ by presenting our simulation results for
the $\mathcal{G}$-symmetrized TRP implementation of the modified controlled-phase
gate $V_{cp}$. In the two-qubit computational basis (eigenstates of
$\sigma_{z}^{1}\sigma_{z}^{2}$), $V_{cp} = diag(1,1,-1,1)$. TRP implementation
of $V_{cp}$ \textit{without\/} symmetrized evolution was reported in
Ref.~\cite{lhg2}. The results presented there are superceded by the
$\mathcal{G}$-symmetrized TRP results presented below. For purposes of later
discussion, note that the parameters appearing in $\mathcal{H}_{2}(\tau )$ fall into
two sets. The first consists of the TRP sweep parameters
($\lambda$,$\,\eta_{4}$,$\,\tau_{0}$), while the second set
($c_{4}$,$\, d_{1}$,\ldots ,$\, d_{4}$) consists of parameters for
degeneracy-breaking, detuning, and coupling. We partitioned the TRP sweep into
$N_{seq}=2500$ pulse sequences, with each sequence based on the four element
symmetry group for $V_{cp}$ introduced earlier.

For the modified controlled-phase gate $V_{cp}$, gate performance was not
found to be very sensitive to small variations of the TRP sweep parameters.
Instead, for $V_{cp}$ \textit{without\/} symmetrized evolution \cite{lhg2},
gate performance was most sensitive to $c_{4}$, $d_{1}$, and $d_{4}$. However,
when symmetrized evolution was incorporated into the TRP sweep, $d_{1}$ ceased
to be a critical parameter. Thus it only proved necessary to reparameterize
$c_{4}\rightarrow c_{4}^{\ast}$ and $d_{4}\rightarrow d_{4}^{\ast}$, where
$c_{4}=c_{4}^{\ast}\exp [-(c_{4}^{\ast}-c_{4}^{0})/c_{4}^{0}]$ and
$d_{4} = d_{4}^{\ast}\exp [-(d_{4}^{\ast}-d_{4}^{0})/d^{0}_{4}]$. Simulations
incorporating symmetrized evolution determined the reparameterization
fixed-point to be $c_{4}^{0}=2.173$, $d_{4}^{0}=0.8347$. The (optimized)
parameter values $\lambda = 5.04$, $\eta_{4}=3.0\times 10^{-4}$, $\tau_{0}=
120$, $d_{1}=99.3$, $d_{2}=0.0$, $d_{3}=-0.41$, $d_{4}^{\ast}=0.835$, and
$c_{4}^{\ast} = 2.17$ produced a gate $U_{a}$ for which $Tr\, P = 8.87\times
10^{-5}$, gate fidelity $\mathcal{F}_{cp}=0.9999\, 89$, and gate error probability
satisfying $P_{e}\leq 8.87\times 10^{-5}$. We see that by adding symmetrized
evolution to a TRP sweep we obtain an approximation to $V_{cp}$ with $P_{e}
\leq 10^{-4}$. In Table~\ref{table3}\hspace{-0.05in}
\begin{largetable}
\caption{Variation of $Tr\, P$ for the modified controlled-phase gate when
$c_{4}^{\ast}$ and $d_{4}^{\ast}$ are altered slightly from their optimum
values.}
\label{table3}
\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ccc|ccc}\hline
$c_{4}^{\ast}$ & $d_{4}^{\ast}$ & $Tr\, P$ & $d_{4}^{\ast}$ & $c_{4}^{\ast}$
 & $Tr\, P$ \\\hline
$2.17$ & $0.834$ & $8.77\times 10^{-5}$ &
  $0.835$ & $2.16$ & $8.15\times 10^{-5}$ \\
          & $0.835$ & $8.77\times 10^{-5}$ &
          & $2.17$ & $8.77\times 10^{-5}$ \\
          & $0.836$ & $8.77\times 10^{-5}$ &
          & $2.18$ & $8.44\times 10^{-5}$
\end{tabular}
\end{center}
\end{largetable}
we show how $Tr\, P$ varies when the parameters $c_{4}^{\ast}$ and
$d_{4}^{\ast}$ vary slightly from their optimum values. Sensitivity of gate
performance to the remaining parameters is comparable to that of
$c_{4}^{\ast}$ and $d_{4}^{\ast}$ and so corresponding tables are not shown.
We see that gate performance is a slowly-varying function of the parameters
$c_{4}^{\ast}$ and $d_{4}^{\ast}$, as well as of
($\lambda$,$\,\eta_{4}$,$\,\tau_{0}$) and ($d_{1}$,$\, d_{2}$,$\, d_{3}$).

\section{Discussion}
\label{sec4}

We have presented simulation results which suggest that TRP sweeps should be
capable of implementing a universal set of quantum gates $\mathcal{G}_{u}$ that
operate non-adiabatically and with gate error probability satisfying $P_{e}
<10^{-4}$. We note that all gates in the universal set $\mathcal{G}_{u}$ are driven
by a \textit{single\/} type of control field (TRP), and that the gate error
probability for all gates in $\mathcal{G}_{u}$ falls below the rough-and-ready estimate
for the accuracy threshold $P_{a}\sim 10^{-4}$. The simulation results
presented in this Letter suggest that the universal quantum gate set $\mathcal{G}_{u}$
produced by TRP shows promise for use in a fault-tolerant scheme for quantum
computing. Refs.~\cite{lhg2,fg1,lhg1} have shown how TRP sweeps can be applied
to NMR, atomic, and superconducting qubits. It should also be possible to
apply them to spin-based qubits in quantum dots using a magnetic field since
the same Zeeman-coupling acts as with NMR qubits. Although we have studied a
number of forms of polynomial twist, as well as periodic twist \cite{lg1}, we
have found that quartic twist provides best all-around performance when it
comes to making the gates in $\mathcal{G}_{u}$. At present we do not have arguments
that explain why quartic twist works better than other forms of twist.
We are currently working to develop a theory of the optimum twist profile in
an effort to understand this question.

Lately, I have been thinking about the unemployed and underemployed as a pool of talent. I'd argue they are one of the most undertapped economic segments. Of the global working population, 6.3% is unemployed. In the US, the long-term unemployed are better educated, older, and more likely to be professional workers than the mean unemployed population. These workers are particularly held back by age discrimination and high wage expectation.
I am reasonably familiar with this market because a key component of the Circle of Experts' strategy is to tap the knowledge of people in transition. Working with this community excites me because the unemployed are people facing significant challenges. While they are wrestling with finding a job, we are glad to pay them a competitive rate.

Facebook Has Dark Mode In The Works For Its Android App
Pappi Hex Wednesday, August 14, 2019 ANDROID, Dark Mode, facebook, News, OS, social media
Dark mode is increasingly becoming popular every day for several reasons; some people want dark mode because it saves battery life, some want it because it isn't harsh to the eyes while others just want it because of the elegant aesthetics.
The demand for Dark mode is strong that app makers are also proving an option for users to be able to switch to dark mode. In fact, Google and Apple also have a dark mode in the test for the next Android and iOS version.
Also Read: How To Enable Dark Mode on Google Chrome for Android
Sometime this year, Facebook announced the dark mode feature for the Messenger app and users of the messaging service applauded Facebook for it. It now looks like Facebook is also working on bringing dark mode to the Facebook app on Android.
According to renowned reverse engineering app, Jane Machun Wong, the social media giant is working on bringing dark mode to the Facebook app for Android.
The above screenshot shared by Wong shows that the feature is still in the development stage and isn't ready for public consumption yet. Wong notes that only portions of the app have been revamped with dark mode so far.
"The Dark Mode appears to be in an early stage of development, understandably. For now, only certain parts of the apps has been reworked to support the Dark Mode. For example, dark text dislaying on a dark background, vice versa," Wong said.
For now, there isn't a real time when the dark mode feature will be released. The feature might be released sooner than expected, or even take a longer period of time before it gets released to the public.
"With a mobile app of this scale, it could take time to refine the Dark Mode. Be patient! The rough edges will be eventually be refined," Wong added.

Essay on if i had supernatural powers acn
April 28, 2019 customerloyalty,
On supernatural acn powers essay if had i. Van der Heerstraten [1488?].] To the praise and honor of the Most High and Almighty God and of Mary his Virgin Mother there comes to an end Henricus de Piro on the Institutions, printed by Egidius van der Heerstraten in the bounteous University of Louvain, on the twelfth day of November. Yet of her glory there are glorious witnesses. A further justification is to be found in the fact that we assume that we need only contemplate the possibility of a single Law of Error, or at any rate that the departures from the familiar Law will be but trifling. How like Homer is the picture of The sun across the red vapours descending, And falling into the sea like a shield of brass Which shines wavering over the bloody field of war, Then drops and is seen no more. The respiration is laboured, the chest heaves, and the dilated nostrils quiver. I dreamed—dreamed pleasant things of the new years coming to me, of books no more! WORKS BY BERGSON. The food-rent is free to the successors of the chief; for the chief is not competent to forgive the payment of what supplies his house (p. It will be found that the majority of our daily actions are performed in this way and that, owing to the solidification in memory of such and such sensations, feelings, or ideas, impressions from the outside call forth movements on our part which, though conscious and even intelligent, have many points of resemblance with reflex acts. It is a mistake which we shall do well to correct on farther acquaintance with them; or if we persist in it, we must call to our aid an extraordinary degree of our native blindness and obstinacy. Copy them from the same model, the best in all its parts you can get; so that, if you have to alter, you may alter as little as possible, and retain nearly the whole essay on if i had supernatural powers acn substance of nature.[50] You may depend upon it that what is so retained, will alone be of any specific value. Four finer specimens of the art can scarcely be found again in so small a compass. [Ed.] [49] This is No. The scientific facts with regard to sex-difference in the vegetable world were not discovered till some seventy years after Shakspere's death. In nature nearly all phenomena present themselves in a form which departs from that rigorously accurate one which scientific purposes mostly demand, so we have to introduce an imaginary series, which shall be free from any such defects. Common sense can recognize that the latter are better than the former; but it has no idea _how much_ better they are. This important task was executed by Francis Bacon, Lord Verulam, who will therefore justly be looked upon in all future ages as the great reformer of philosophy, though his own actual contributions to the stock of physical truths were small, and his ideas of particular points strongly tinctured with mistakes and errors, which were the fault rather of the general want of physical information of the age than of any narrowness of view on his own part; of this he was fully aware. Those who wear waistcoats or hats may, of course, attempt to defend them on practical grounds: they may even say, with some truth, that waistcoats have convenient pockets, and hats keep the sun off. But as this is not the case, we shall content ourselves with barely referring to some of those figures in the other pictures, which appear the most striking; and which we see, not only while we are looking at them, but which we have before us at all other times.—For instance: who, having seen, can easily forget that exquisite frost-piece of religion and morality, the antiquated prude, in the picture of _Morning_? If any one fight in a _minster_, let him make bot with cxx scillings. In Rome, around it nothing strikes the eye, nothing rivets the attention but ruins, the fragments of what has been; the past is like a _halo_ forever surrounding and obscuring the present! The following clause is still more severe upon any one harbouring a fugitive thief or other outlaw, and it introduces again the division of classes as regards wergelds into gesithcund and ceorlisc, but without mentioning the wergelds of each class. Certainly, custom is most perfect when it beginneth in young years: this we call education, which is, in effect, but an early custom. But do men indeed so highly prize justice as one would think, who believed all that has been said and is still being said concerning it? Suppose that the balls were all numbered, from 1 to 1,000, and the witness knows this fact. In travelling, our ideas change like the scenes of a pantomime, displacing each other as completely and rapidly. I recognise that there is much that may quite fairly and reasonably be urged in favour of the Baconian case. Though not to the same extent as Libri, the early printers largely imitated their reticence. In the second case, we presuppose the final act by the mere fact of annexing to the qualitative description of the previous states the quantitative appreciation of their importance. mete ne munde. Gregory (quarta feria ante festum Gregorii), a "Casus breues decretalium" on the day of SS. There are several ways of determining the modulus. But the English abroad turn out of their way to see every pettifogging, huckstering object that they could see better at home, and are as _fussy_ and fidgetty, with their smoke-jacks and mechanical inventions among the Alps, as if they had brought Manchester and Sheffield in their pockets! At Incisa, the last stage before we arrived at Florence, an intimation was conveyed that we should give up our apartments in the inn, and seek for lodgings elsewhere. The pound of two marks or sixteen ounces had taken its place. Apart from such isolated instances as that of Swedenborg, Spiritualism is of quite recent introduction, and it appears to have had no direct connection with its earlier prototype. But the man whom thou awakest to life-consuming labour, He, O ancient Youth, O Youth eternal, Still thoughtful admires thee, even as on the mountain The Aryan Fathers adored thee, standing amid their white oxen. 1485. Hence, it is principally by the help of motion that duration assumes the form of a homogeneous medium, and that time is projected into space. There is a further clause in the Gulathing law which provides that when land falls to a woman the men of the kindred, 'if their relationship be so close as to be _nefgildi_ or _bauggildi_'–that is, as we have seen, paternal and maternal relations descendants of great-grandparents–have a right to redeem it from their kinswoman at one-fifth less than its value, 'paying one half in gold and silver and the rest in thralls and cattle.' The men then keep the odal and their kinswoman 'keeps the aurar.' Even if odal has passed 'three times under the spindle' it comes back at last to the male kinsmen (275). The faces and full length figures which show themselves, holding conversations, and allowing themselves to be touched, and even permitting their robes to be cut, become the faces and figures of the mediums. However remote or exceptional may be the phenomenon selected we may yet bring it into relation with some accepted generalizations and thus draw our conclusions from these rather than from purely _a priori_ considerations. But this, I also know, is a counsel of perfection: the courage which he has not would not have been acquired by any intellectual process, and its possession would have deprived him of the courage which he has. "Illi mors gravis incubat, Qui notus nimis omnibus, Ignotus moritur."[131] In place, there is license to do good and evil, whereof the latter is a curse; for in evil, the best condition is not to will, the second not to can. Thus, as we have seen, _Set_ (Seth) itself meant the _erect_, _elevated_, _high_, his name on the Egyptian monuments being nearly always accompanied by a stone.[143] The name, _Kiyun_ or _Kevan_, of this deity, said by Amos to have been worshipped in the wilderness, signifies "god of the pillar." The idea expressed by the title is shown by the name _Baal Tamar_, which means "Baal as a pillar," or "Phallus," consequently "the fructifying god." The title "erect," when given to a deity, seems always to imply a Phallic idea, and hence we have the explanation of the _S. Both these extremes are to be avoided; which will be done if the league of Christians, penned by our Saviour himself, were in the two cross clauses thereof soundly and plainly expounded: "He that is not with us is against us;"[76] and again, "He that is not against us, is with us;" that is, if the points fundamental, and of substance in religion, were truly discerned and distinguished from points not merely of faith, but of opinion, order, or good intention. ffrauncis Bacon," and just above that stands "Mr. [Sidenote: The young tribesman is dependent on the chief, not on his father. The human soul desired the work of destruction, and she loosed the slaves from their chains, and they in wild enthusiasm began to celebrate their freedom by making great havoc, not in the least suspecting that they remained just as they were before, slaves who work for others. They are sorry that the Venus does not hold up her head like a boarding-school miss— 'And would ask the Apollo to dance!' In three months' practice, and with proper tuition, Greek forms would be French, and they would be perfect!—Mademoiselles Fanny and Noblet, I kiss your hands; but I have no pardon to beg of Madame Le Gallois, for she looked like a lady (very tightly laced) in the ballet, and played like a heroine in the pantomime part of _La Folle par Amour_. 17: The art of prolonging life was, he thought, one of the most desirable. For a time, we may be sure, he regained his original distinction, and became to the Israelites the representative of heaven. to determine the ratio of a certain area on the board to the whole area. Just as in the direct process of calculating or displaying the 'errors', whether in an algebraic formula or in a diagram, we generally assume that their possibility is continuous, i.e. In the Norse laws the leysing's wergeld was one sixth that of the hauld or odalman. The ceorlisc man in this section takes the place of the twyhynde man in contrast with the six-hynde and twelve-hynde classes. The numberless Treatises of Antiquities, Philosophy, Mathematicks, Natural, and other History (in which I can't pass silently by, that essay on if i had supernatural powers acn learned One of Sir _Walter Raleigh_, which the World he writ of can't match) written originally in, or translated to our Tongue are sufficient to lead us a great way into any Science our Curiousity shall prompt us to. It is true, he availed himself in some degree of what is called _execution_, to facilitate his imitation of the details and peculiarities of nature; but it was to facilitate, not to supersede it. The whole affair therefore is to all intents and purposes a gigantic system of betting, to see which can live the longest; the State being the common stake-holder, and receiving a heavy commission for its superintendence, this commission being naturally its sole motive for encouraging such a transaction. These statistics would however essay on if i had supernatural powers acn in practice naturally and rightly be neglected, because there can hardly fail to be circumstances in each individual statement which would more appropriately refer it to some new class depending on different statistics, and affording a far better chance of our being right in that particular case. Besides these, there are some capital pen-and-ink drawings (views in Venice), by Canaletti, and three large copies after Guido of _the Venus attired by the Graces_, _the Andromeda_, and _Herodias's Daughter_. The public have seen to the contrary. Chief among these are the peculiar conditions of streets, pavements, and aggregated humanity which make up towns. To go into the higher branches of the art—the poetry of painting—I deny still more peremptorily the exclusiveness of the initiated. Or is it owing to a want of comprehension, so that they are incapable of correcting one feeling by another, and thus run into extremes? Here, then we have the names and the works of Shakespeare and Bacon brought into curiously close juxtaposition in (as it will presently be seen) a contemporary document. [181] "Rural Bengal," p. IV. [Sidenote: The general correspondence in wergelds throughout Western Europe.] The trouble taken to arrive at a correct knowledge of the currencies in which the wergelds were paid, tedious as it may have seemed to the reader, will not have been thrown away if it has led to the recognition of the fact that there was a very general correspondence in the amount of the wergelds tenaciously adhered to by the tribes of Western Europe, whether remaining in their old homes or settled in newly conquered countries. The shape and colours of the bodice and petticoat are what we see in Dutch pictures; the faces of the common people we are familiarized with in Mieris and Jan Steen. 'Law of Error' is the usual technical term for what has been elsewhere spoken of above as a Law of Divergence from a mean. A critic of any doctrine can hardly be considered to have done much more than half his duty when he has explained and justified his grounds for objecting to it. At Byblos during the fetes of Adonis, after the ceremony which announced the resurrection of the God, every female worshipper had to sacrifice to Venus either her hair or her person. Reverence for Christ could rise to greater heights. Here ends the first part of this work revised by me, Angelus de Gambilionibus of Arezzo, 16th October, 1448, at Ferrara. By stating that its chance is 1/10, we merely mean to assert this physical fact, together with such other mental facts, emotions, inferences, &c., as may be properly associated with it.

The Walking Dead: 400 Days DLC Review – A Taste of what's to Come
By kelseyr713 July 6, 2013 400 days DLC Review telltale games The Walking Dead the walking dead: 400 days
The Walking Dead: 400 Days is the highly-anticipated DLC that bridges the first season of the game with the upcoming season two. You can read my review of the conclusion, No Time Left, here.
I played 400 Days on my Xbox – if you play it on a platform other than what you played the first season on, it will not cull from your choices in season one.
400 Days places you in the shoes of six different survivors:
Vince, a convict on a bus headed to prison
Wyatt, a stoner escaping with a friend into the forest
Russell, a (former) college student who hitchhikes with a stranger
Bonnie, a former junkie being helped by a married couple
Shel, a big sister who is trying to protect her little sister
Tavia, a scout from a safe compound who encounters the previous five survivors
You can play the stories of everyone except Tavia (who has to be last) in any order. There is a "correct," chronological order, which I've listed above, but I ended up playing in this order: Vince, Shel, Bonnie, Wyatt, and Russell. Each story starts and ends abruptly – making it difficult to put the controller down (you will finish the entire DLC in one sitting).
You play each survivor's story for about fifteen to twenty minutes; it took me a little less than two hours to complete the game. Gameplay is largely the same as in season one, but with a few added mechanics here and there (such as running through a dark cornfield from pursuers and holding the A button while moving the left stick in order to pull things). As always, Telltale is going to force you to make tough decisions, and I wasn't disappointed with how indecisive I was. There has never been a clear moral choice in this series; anything can be argued. There seemed to be more times in the DLC than in the main game where I had time to think about my choice instead of the clock running down quickly, especially with a big/main choice, but there is a time limit to most normal dialogue selections.
The choices you make during the five main stories will affect the outcome of your epilogue. A promise I made to myself was that I would live with the choices I made in this series instead of going back and manipulating for the best possible outcome (at least, according to my own sense of it); I look forward to seeing how the decisions I made in 400 Days will affect my game when season two is released. There are not a lot of callbacks to season one (only two that I noticed), but the five tales of the survivors interweave in sometimes very subtle ways. I will probably end up playing again on a different save file to see what making the opposite choices would have looked like.
There are eight achievements, two of which are missable (a first for the series). One in particular is a little frustrating, as it is completely random and you have to keep replaying a good chunk in order to try again – and with this game, it ruins immersion to keep quitting out and trying again. I wish they had kept the achievements strictly story-related; in a game like this, I think that is most appropriate.
There is foreshadowing for season two, which I think, if I am guessing correctly, will push the game more toward the themes that the television show has been exploring in its latest season.
Note on graphics and sound: There is nothing more to note here than in the main game – same gorgeous art style, same atmospheric sound and music. Voice acting is excellent all around.
The Walking Dead: 400 Days left me wanting more. I wished we could have gotten more information and backstory on all of the characters, because my curiosity was piqued so much, but hopefully we will learn more about them in season two. Do not hesitate to get this game if you loved season one (it's worth the $5), but don't expect it to be as deeply affecting as that game was. Is it October yet?
Score: B+
You can get The Walking Dead: 400 Days for PSN, PC, and Xbox 360 right now. Players who have season one on iOS need to wait a little longer – July 11th. The DLC will also be released along with the entire first season on the Vita sometime in August. You need to have at least one episode of The Walking Dead in order to purchase 400 Days. I would highly recommend playing the season before playing the DLC. It costs $4.99 or 400 MSP.
Check out the official site, like Telltale and The Walking Dead game on Facebook, and follow Telltale Games on Twitter.
Also, once 400 Days releases for Benny, she and I will be doing another podcast on the game. Stay tuned for details! You can listen to our speculative podcast on 400 Days here.

low memory #1
Monique Jean
low memory #1 has been performed in Berkeley, Edinburgh, Kitchener, Montréal and Santiago…
To Gino Favotti
It's about space; about organic movements moving inside a sound mass, forming a ring whose centre has been hollowed out, out of which rumbles a pressure to rebuild a centre, the act of rebuilding being constantly thwarted and repeated. To draw an identity out of an organic mass in fusion. The tension between perimeter and centre is the tension of the mass, moving sound materials borne out of digital transformations and the point, represented by the instrumental sound.
[English translation: François Couture, vi-12]
low memory #1 was realized in 2000 at the Métamorphoses d'Orphée studio in Ohain (Belgium) and at the composer's studio and premiered on September 2, 2000 during the Hautes tensions concert of the festival Elektra at Usine C in Montréal (Québec). The piece was commissioned by ACREQ with support from the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec (CALQ).

Protecting Our Food
Europeans should not be exposed to harmful pesticides.
WeMove Europe has campaigned to get the toxic weed killer glyphosate out of our food and fields since autumn 2015. That's the same year the International Agency for Research on Cancer, a part of the World Health Organisation declared glyphosate is "probably carcinogenic."
The use of glyphosate was trending upwards and worse, glyphosate's manufacturers applied for a new licence to sell their toxic product in Europe for another 15 years.
WeMove Europe joined an alliance of mainly environmental organisations that had been working on the issue for some time. Together, we decided to launch a European Citizens' Initiative – a direct democracy tool that people can use to call on the Commission to propose or change laws. We called for glyphosate not to be approved again. We also demanded the approval procedure for pesticides in Europe be improved. Specifically, we identified the importance of allowing all parties access to all the data that manufacturers have to submit. This would allow proper, objective scrutiny and oversight.
The campaign was an example of the power of a wide-ranging movement comprised of different organisations bringing varied skills and expertise, as well as more than a million individual Europeans.
Scientists verified the risks and carcinogenic effects of glyphosate. Partner organisations with policy expertise shared this freely, providing the detail and clout required to make robust arguments. Members of the European Parliament that supported our aims explained the complex decision-making processes and relayed the latest developments.
Together, the alliance decided to launch a European Citizens' Initiative. It proved a record-breaking success, collecting the required one million signatures in less than six months.
WeMove Europe, as a citizens' movement, played the central coordinating role for the ECI. It was a huge learning curve, but we rose to the challenges. We organised and connected partners and took responsibility for fundraising and technology.
And of course, we mobilised more than a million citizens to sign and organised repeated actions. The highlight was a Europe-wide day of action, during which over 100,000 paper signatures were collected at thousands of locations.
While the campaign didn't achieve its primary aim of prohibiting glyphosate in the EU, we were able to increase scrutiny. Glyphosate was permitted to enter the market again, but only for five years, not the fifteen years requested by the manufacturers and approved by the EU.
However, perhaps even more significantly for the long term, the approval procedure for environmental toxins and food additives is being changed to meet our campaign demands for transparency. In direct response to our ECI, the Commission proposed legislation to increase transparency in the approval procedure, which was approved in April 2019 by the full plenary of the European Parliament.

I liked Monica! And I wish they gave her a chance. Killing off all the black people…Whats up with that!
I didn't really care for Monica. If I had her powers I'd be a billionaire by now. She needed to capitalize on it.
You know who they should kill off, Mohinder. They should kill him off because he is a nag.
Minority Genocide! How dare you kill off Mohinder! Might as well take down Micah and Maya as well. Then Hiro and Ando!!
Well, I totally agree with getting rid of Maya…they should get rid of her and her eyes. They can save the little kid. And in no way should they get rid of Hiro (though Ando is disposable).

Chaos-Based Cryptography for Voice Secure Wireless Communication

Source Title: Economics: Concepts, Methodologies, Tools, and Applications
Chaos theory was originally developed by mathematicians and physicists. The theory deals with the behaviors of nonlinear dynamic systems. Chaos theory has desirable features, such as deterministic, nonlinear, irregular, long-term prediction, and sensitivity to initial conditions. Therefore, and based on chaos theory features, the security research community adopts chaos theory in modern cryptography. However, there are challenges of using chaos theory with cryptography, and this chapter highlights some of those challenges. The voice information is very important compared with the information of image and text. This chapter reviews most of the encryption techniques that adopt chaos-based cryptography, and illustrates the uses of chaos-based voice encryption techniques in wireless communication as well. This chapter summarizes the traditional and modern techniques of voice/speech encryption and demonstrates the feasibility of adopting chaos-based cryptography in wireless communications.
Multidisciplinary In Chaos Based Cryptography
Multidisciplinary is composed of several separate branches of learning or fields of expertise. These different disciplines (fields) can use chaos theory in their applications as illustrated in Figure 1 (David et al., 2012) .
Different disciplines (fields) used within the chaos applications
Figure 2 gives the schematic presentation of the chaos behavior. It shows the detail of these applications that exploit the chaos behavior. The behavior of chaos can be seen in the labs, in the nature, in an economics (Kyrtsou & Labys, 2006), in finance (Hristu-Varsakelis & Kyrtsou, 2008), in different other studies such as medical studies (White, 1999), quantum chaos theory study (Berry, 2003), electrical engineering and computer science chaotic systems as well as numerical analysis (Strang, 1991).

Q: Characterisation of a poset Let $X$ be a finite set ordered by $R$, where $R$ is a transitive, reflexive, and antisymmetric relation on $X$.  We define, for all $x\in X$,  $C_R(x)=(m_R(x),M_R(x))\in \mathbb N^2$, such that $m_R(x)$ is the cardinality  of the set of all the minorants of $x$, and $M_R(x)$ is the cardinality of the set of all majorants of $x$.
Does the set $\left\{C_R(x),\, x\in X\right\}$ characterize $R$ up to isomorphism?
(We will say that $R\subset X^2$ and $Q\subset Y^2$ are isomorphic if there exist $f$, a bijection from $X$ to $Y$ such that $aRb\Leftrightarrow f(x)Qf(y)$.)

A: If I understand correctly the meaning of minorant and majorant, then the answer is negative. Let $P$ be the poset with vertices $1,\dots,8$ defined by $1<5,6$; $2<6,7$; $3<7,8$; $4<5,8$. Let $Q$ have the same vertices and be defined by $1<5,6$; $2<5,6$; $3<7,8$; $4<7,8$.

A: First you would want the multiset and not the set. Even then the answer is no. I'm sure this would follow from counting considerations ( For $n$ large enough there should be wildly many more posts or even lattices than there are possible lists of pairs.) But simple examples exist.
If the set was $\{{(1,2),(2,1)\}}$ that would say that we essentially have a graph consisting of one or more disjoint cycles and the poset consisting of the points and edges. Then the number of points and edges would be equal, but unknown.
If we had the multiset with each of $(1,2)$ and $(2,1)$ nine times then we would know that the graph was either a $9$-gon OR a square and a pentagon OR three triangles OR a triangle and a hexagon.  But we would not know which.
To make this into a lattice, use $(1,19)$ and $(19,1)$ once each along with $(2,3)$ and $(3,2)$ nine times each.
I'm sure that even knowing one had a lattice $L$ with $k$ levels and the multiset of all sublattices with $k-1$ levels would not be enough to describe $L$ up to isomorphism. The little example above is one counter-example for $k=4.$

Inside Look: Blade Runner 2049 Experience at Comic-Con
by Jonathan Nafarrete
With Comic-Con in full swing this week, the amount of panels, previews, games, and brand activations to check out seem endless. But this year, there was one movie experience we weren't going to miss.
Only a block away from the main convention center, lines wrapped around the block, all waiting to enter a massive tent. It was hard to miss. One big bold sign summed it all up, this was home to the "Blade Runner 2049 Experience."
A mix of high flying VR action and a perfectly crafted set of committed actors, this experience went beyond just a VR headset demo and transported you into the cyberpunk future of the dystopian world that is Blade Runner.
After walking down a long hallway with a group of 23 other hyped attendees, I found myself staring at rows of D-Box motion chairs. They look like movie theater seats, but when paired with a VR headset, they rumble and move with the movement of the experience.
We take our seats and put on a Gear VR headset with headphones. Now i'm sitting in the driver's seat of a Blade Runner Spinner. As I wait for the rest of the attendees to begin, I immediately recognize the near-future neon-lit city, iconic of the film.
Then we're off, or in this case up. The chair rumbles and angles, wind begins to rush towards my face, and the flying vessel lifts off through the city. The entire ride is a thing of beauty—a cityscape glide past giant billboards and holographic ads.
And just like most VR experiences that start off easy to get you acclimated, things escalate quickly from there. I identify another Spinner with a replicant pilot that must be hunted down. The pursuit turns into a roller coaster ride of bumps, turns, gun fire, and finally ends with a forceful crash onto a Los Angeles street below.
And where the VR experience ends, the next begins. As you take your headset off, you're confronted with a new reality that manifested while you were in preoccupied with the virtual. The wall that was in front of us earlier is now gone. Appearing in front of us, a downed Spinner with a cast of 34 actors donning actual costumes from the film scatter throughout the set.
Many cast members were having full on conversations with each other, some rocking umbrellas as leaking water fell from the sky. There was a noodle shop called the White Dragon that gathered quite a few interesting characters.
But what better way to end the night after surviving a crash landing and waking up wandering the polluted streets filled with weirdos then at Bibi's Bar. Asked to present my historic ID from 2017 to enter, you could help yourself to some serious shots of Johnnie Walker (who just happened to be the sponsor of the experience). At least we know that in the future, we'll still have whiskey to get through our day.
The Blade Runner 2049 VR experience was made in collaboration with Oculus and Turtle Rock, taking a production team of 40 people over seven days on-site to bring the world of Los Angeles in 2049 to life. The experience features over fifty props from the film, including the actual Spinner from Blade Runner 2049.
Blade Runner 2049 hits theaters October 6, 2017 in 2D and 3D in select theaters and IMAX.

Flood of responses to plans for thousands of new homes in Solihull
The council has been inundated with comments on its proposals

Get the biggest Weekly Politics stories by email
Proposals to build thousands of new homes on sites across Solihull have generated almost 4,000 responses.
The council has been inundated with comments about its Draft Local Plan, which is set to shape where new housing developments will go.
A fresh consultation took place between January and March and officers have recently been sifting through the mountain of correspondence received during the six week window.
Residents, councillors and community groups are among those to have had their say on the document, parts of which have proved highly controversial.

Common concerns include the threat to certain green belt sites and whether local roads and services, such as schools and doctors surgeries, will be able to cope with the increased population.
Thousands of homes on the horizon in Solihull
It has now been confirmed that a dossier, providing an overview of the issues raised, will be considered later this month.
A Solihull Council spokesman said: "Over 3,800 representations were received and a report is currently being prepared which summarises them all.
"These representations will be taken into account and used to help shape the next version of the plan.
Battle lines drawn over plans for new homes in Solihull
"The report will be presented to cabinet member in July, along with details of proposed next steps."

Opposition has been particularly fierce in areas including Balsall Common, where campaigners have criticised the threat to the countryside, and the Blythe Valley area, where residents claim they would take a disproportionate number of homes as things stand.
Fight to protect Solihull's green belt will continue - vow
Cllr Ian Courts, who oversaw the launch of the consultation as cabinet member for managed growth and has since become leader of the council, admitted earlier this year that the plans would impact on "many, many communities."
Although he has insisted the Conservative administration was taking views on board.
"Underlying the way we are dealing with this process, we really do want to make development better," he told cabinet colleagues in January.
Concerns surrounding major M42 works in Solihull 'very worrying'
"We think that local people who know their area well should again have the opportunity to comment."

Nonetheless there is likely to be pressure from both opposition parties and indeed Tory backbenchers to make changes to the more unpopular proposals, by either reducing allocations or dropping certain sites altogether.
Solihull's new leader speaks about the changes ahead
At the same time, the council must ensure that new housing meets both local need and helps deal with demand in neighbouring local authorities.
Once finalised, the draft plan will ultimately be referred to the Secretary of State for consideration.

Officers work a crime scene in the Bayview on May 19 where Jessica Williams, 29, was shot and killed by police. (Jessica Christian/S.F. Examiner)
Community meetings after police shootings may be old practice
Jonah Owen Lamb
May. 26, 2016 12:00 a.m.
It's been a week since a Bayview police sergeant shot and killed 29-year-old Jessica Williams, who was allegedly driving a stolen car, and the usual community meeting held by police after such incidents has not occurred.
Under former Police Chief Greg Suhr, who resigned hours after the May 19 shooting, a community meeting was typically scheduled a week after any police shooting incident. At those meetings, Suhr would stand before an angry crowd and explain what he knew about the shooting.
The department would not say if this practice has been permanently canceled, but spokesperson Officer Grace Gatpandan said Thursday no such meeting has been scheduled in relation to the Williams case.
Few details have emerged in the shooting, other than Williams' identity and age. The department's policy is to release the name of the officer involved 10 days after a shooting incident.
Department representatives told reporters on the day of the shooting that two officers on a car theft detail spotted an allegedly stolen car near Shafter Avenue and Elmira Street and approached the vehicle on foot. As they tried to remove the driver from the car, a witness told police there was a "back-and-forth" and the woman was shot once by one of the officers shortly before 10 a.m.
The shooting prompted Mayor Ed Lee to ask for Suhr's resignation and appoint Toney Chaplin as acting chief. However, little is known about how Chaplin plans to deal with the aftermath of such events.
Chaplin did meet with some community members in the Bayview the day after the shooting, but it was not an occasion specifically to address issues around Williams' killing.
The practice of holding meetings soon after such incidents is one of the recommendations of President Barrack Obama's Task Force on 21st Century Policing.
The task force's final report said that such meetings should be "proactively called
by the department, in the neighborhood where the incident occurred, to continue and enhance
the relationship of trust by engagement, dialogue, and inclusion."
Adante Pointer, an attorney who works for the civil rights lawyer John Burris, said Suhr's practice to hold town hall meetings was a sign the department was trying to be open, even if at times the information often seemed justify the shootings.
"I would love to see him continue that," said Pointer of Chaplin. "Even if it was couched in 'This is our story.'"
Meanwhile, an outraged community facing off with police may still end the week even if the new chief isn't there, as Suhr often was.
Protesters are expected to march on the Bayview Station Friday night to remind people of the killing of Williams.

Happy New Year everyone! We stayed home for New Year's Eve last night, and Jack and I enjoyed a nice, romantic dinner (well – as romantic as you can get with an 8-year-old in the other room who is determined to stay up past midnight… 🙂 ) where we reflected on the great year we had in 2014 and our plans for 2015. This amazing Filet Mignon with Mushroom Sauce was on the menu – not a bad way to ring in the new year!
This recipe was inspired by a weekend trip to New York City that Jack and I took a few months ago to celebrate my birthday and our wedding anniversary. We attended a wonderful dinner at Eataly – an incredible Italian foods market that also hosts cooking classes and themed dinners.
The dinner we attended was all about truffles, a rare mushroom with a very distinct and delicious flavor. The only other time Jack and I both ate truffles was years ago on our honeymoon in Italy, so this fantastic dinner in New York was a special way to relive some happy memories!
The main course at our dinner was a filet mignon served with a rich mushroom sauce over a bed of parsnip and celery root purée (see that recipe here). While the version we had in New York included truffles in the mushroom sauce – given how expensive they are – we recreated this dish using more commonly found cremini (baby portabella) mushrooms and it is just as delicious! And – this wonderful mushroom sauce would be great served over just about any cut of steak!
Today's recipe will also show you how to cook a filet mignon to a perfect medium-rare doneness (in our opinion, the best way to enjoy this cut of beef!). Because the best way to tell when any meat is perfectly cooked is based on internal temperature rather than a cooking time, we highly recommend that you use a probe thermometer (like this one) . It's a great tool that everyone should have in their kitchen!
Disclosure: We were lucky enough to receive some wonderful filet mignon a few months from our friends at Certified Angus Beef for recipe development. Also, this post contains affiliate links.
Pat steaks dry with paper towels and set aside.
While steaks are coming to room temperature, prepare sauce.
Chop mushroom to a small dice.
In a medium sauté pan over high, heat 1 teaspoon of butter and the one tablespoon of olive oil to hot.
Add mushrooms and sauté on high for two minutes. Reduce to medium high and add whole fresh thyme and whole fresh rosemary and push them to the bottom. Add salt and pepper. Continue to cook until mushrooms are browned, about three more minutes.
Add wine to deglaze and cook until no liquid is left.
Add stock and cook to reduce to less than half. (Should only be a few tablespoons of liquid left).
Remove from heat and stir in remaining butter to thicken sauce. If the sauce is too loose, mix a tiny bit of corn starch with a few drops of water and add to the sauce over heat. Set sauce aside off heat.
Heat a ribbed pan over high heat.
While pan is heating, dry steaks again and brush on olive oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Repeat for the other side.
Once pan is smoking hot, add steaks and do not touch for two minutes. Turn steaks 180 degrees on same side so that cross marks will appear on steaks. Cook for 1 ½ more minutes (total 3 ½ minutes on one side).
Flip and cook for one minute, then turn the heat to low, Keep steaks on that side and loosely tent pan with foil and cook on low for about 5 minutes or until a probe thermometer inserted into center returns a temperature of 125 degrees for medium rare. Or cook longer for your preference of doneness.
If the steaks are not exactly the same thickness, pull the thinner steak off sooner than the other. Our steaks were slightly different in thickness. One was done in nine minutes and one in ten minutes.
Let them rest on a plate tented for a few minutes.
Heat the already prepared Parsnip and Celery Root Purée either on the stove or in the microwave.
Add ¼ cup water to the steak pan and deglaze to a single tablespoon and add that to the wine sauce along with any juice in the dish with the steaks. Heat the wine sauce to serving temperature.
To serve, spoon some Parsnip and Celery Root Purée (recipe here) onto the plate. To be fancy, spread the purée across one side of a plate with a spoon, then place your steak at the back edge of the purée . Top with a spoonful of the sauce and serve.
Great tips! Love your photography, too!
Happy New Year Martha. This looks so delicious. I love the mushroom sauce.
Thanks Christie! Happy New Year to you too!

Departing slightly from the nylon string world to explore contemporary styles with guitarist Richard Smith (although you will hear some nylon string playing from Italian Francesco Buzzurro on their collaborative album). When I met Richard, he was the department chair of the Studio/Jazz Guitar department at USC, and along with USC's fairly new Popular Music program, Smith has since refocused his teaching duties from jazz to emphasize more contemporary and popular music styles. We will reap the benefits of that popular music knowledge here today, as he will give us some great songwriting advice. Smith's forte is in smooth jazz and jazz fusion and he utilizes this genre to explore a great variety of styles, his latest being Argentine tango with a healthy dose of electronica. You'll also hear him discuss the bad rap given to smooth jazz, along with some incredibly poignant suggestions for those determined to pursue a career in music.
Guitarist, composer, sideman, producer, teacher, mentor and one of the most charismatic performers in Smooth Jazz - that just begins to describe Richard Smith. His recording career spans over 15 years and his academic accomplishments are even more impressive. He is on the faculty of the Thornton School at the University of Southern California, one of the nation's most prestigious music schools. He became the youngest department chairman and later was the youngest guitarist in the school's history to make the rank of Professor. Smith spent several years touring and recording with Richard Elliot while releasing a series of solo CDs and recording and touring with smooth jazz luminaries like Peter White, Kirk Whalum, Guitars and Saxes, Steve Reid, Dan Siegel, and Kenny G. His latest release, SOuLIDIFIED, features the top five smooth jazz hit "Sing A Song" and his current single "Whatz Up" is getting airplay nationwide.
The ongoing themes of this conversation were passion and collaboration: the joy of working with others, sharing skills and supporting creative growth. This is an artist who will inspire you to nurture and chase your own dreams with intensity and commitment too.
