Quantum computing thanks to Bianchi groups

2018

It has been shown that the concept of a magic state (in universal quantum computing: uqc) and that of a minimal informationally complete positive operator valued measure: MIC-POVMs (in quantum measurements) are in good agreement when such a magic state is selected in the set of non-stabilizer eigenstates of permutation gates with the Pauli group acting on it [1]. Further work observed that most found low-dimensional MICs may be built from subgroups of the modular group PS L(2, Z) [2] and that this can be understood from the picture of the trefoil knot and related 3-manifolds [3]. Here one concentrates on Bianchi groups PS L(2, O10) (with O10 the integer ring over the imaginary quadratic fie…

Mission versus ethics in 1 Corinthians 9? ‘Implicit ethics’ as an aid in analysing New Testament texts

2012

The central question concerning how mission and ethics are related arises within the context of the understanding of ethics itself and in this way often leads back to the familiar ‘indicative and imperative’ model. This oversimplified approach, however, is ultimately inadequate for the Pauline ethic in general and for the particular problem concerning mission and ethics. In this article, 1 Corinthians 9 was drawn upon as an example for the ‘implicit ethics’ model, a model which allows for a more nuanced presentation of the grounds and justification for behaviour and action. Through this approach it became clear that the proclamation of the Gospel does not have to be ‘unethical’; rather, it …

Externalism, inclusion, and knowledge of content

2003

En este trabajo abordo la cuestión de si el autoconocimiento es compatible con una individuación externista del contenido mental. En contra de algunas posiciones, considero el autoconocimiento como un logro cognitivo genuino. Aunque no es incorregible ni infalible, el autoconocimiento es directo (no inferencial), a priori (no basado en la investigación empírica), y dotado de especial autoridad y presunción de verdad. El problema consiste en saber si el autoconocimiento, así entendido, es compatible con el externismo. Mi respuesta será afirmativa. Defenderé esta clase de compatibilismo frente a distintas objeciones, sobre todo aquellas que se basan en la posibilidad de que un individuo sea s…

'[I]t wasn’t in the picture and is not': Blind Spots and Vanishing Points in Irish Poetical Self-Portraits

2016

International audience; Pictoriality and a propensity for self-examination and self-representation are characteristic of the poetry of Louis MacNeice, Derek Mahon, Seamus Heaney and Paul Muldoon. In many a poem, these four contemporary Irish poets try to capture their own portraits in words and images, through highly visual poems often inspired by paintings. This paper first examines how these poets use images and invest paintings, how verbal and iconic texts interact in their creations and to what extent self-exegesis is made possible and more successful through ekphrasis. With reference to Jacques Derrida’s essay on self-portraiture—Memoirs of the Blind: Self-Portraits and Other Ruins—thi…

Bound states of $��^+$ in nuclei

2005

We study the binding energy and the width of the $��^+$ in nuclei, associated to the $K N$ and $ K ��N$ components. The first one leads to negligible contributions while the second one leads to a sizeable attraction, enough to bind the $��^+$ in nuclei. Pauli blocking and binding effects on the $K N$ decay reduce considerably the $��^+$ decay width in nuclei and medium effects associated to the $ K ��N$ component also lead to a very small width, as a consequence of which one finds separation between the bound levels considerably larger than the width of the states.

Ajallisuus ja rationaalisuus COVID-19-pandemian vaiheissa : järkytys, välitila ja "paluu normaaliin"

2022

Artikkeli selvittää COVID-19-pandemian ajallisia ja intersubjektiivisia ulottuvuuksia eksistentiaalisen fenomenologian näkökulmasta. Teoreettisena lähtökohtana ovat erityisesti Martin Heideggerin ja Jean-Paul Sartren ajallisuuden ja autenttisuuden analyysit sekä Edmund Husserlin kuvaus uskomuksista pidättäytymisestä (epokhē). Esitän, että pandemian alkuvaiheen erityislaatuinen ajallinen ulottuvuus liittyy maailmavarmuuden järkkymiseen ja elämän haurauden kohtaamiseen. Kun kuoleman mahdollisuus hallitsee inhimillistä kanssakäymistä, olemassaoloa alkaa luonnehtia odotus ”normaaliin” palaamisesta ja nykyisyyden todellisuus hämärtyy. Analysoin tätä problematiikkaa ennen kaikkea epokhēn, autentt…

Nuclear cross sections in 16O for β beam neutrinos at intermediate energies

2006

The nuclear cross sections for charged lepton production induced by $\beta$ beam neutrinos (anti-neutrinos) in $^{16}$O have been presented at intermediate energies corresponding to the Lorentz boost factor $\gamma<250 (150)$. The calculations for quasi-elastic lepton production includes the effect of Pauli blocking, Fermi motion and renormalization of weak transition strengths in the nuclear medium. The calculations for the inelastic lepton production is done in the $\Delta$ dominance model. The renormalization of $\Delta$ properties in a nuclear medium and final state interactions of pions with the final nucleus are taken into account. The results may be useful in performing feasibility s…

Elementary presentation of self‐consistent intermediate Hamiltonians and proposal of two totally dressed singles and doubles configuration interactio…

1994

Intermediate Hamiltonians are effective Hamiltonians which are defined on an N‐dimensional model space but which only provide n<N exact eigenvalues and the projections of the corresponding eigenvectors onto the model space. For a single root research, the intermediate Hamiltonian may be obtained from the restriction of the Hamiltonian to the model space by an appropriate, uniquely defined dressing of the diagonal energies or of the first column. Approximate self‐consistent dressings may be proposed. The simplest perturbative form gives the same result as the original 2nd order intermediate Hamiltonian or the ‘‘shifted Bk’’ technique but it is of easier implementation. Self‐consistent inclus…

"Belye lilii" : genezis finskogo mifa v bolgarii, rol' russkogo fennofil'stva, finsko-bolgarskie kontakty i posredniki s konca XIX do konca XX veka

2004

Liilia Siibergin väitöstyössä osoitetaan, miten suomalaisista on kirjallisuuden kautta Bulgariassa tullut sankareita, joita kohtaan tunnetaan erityistä sympatiaa. Samalla suomalaisista sinkoutuu pois kaikki, mikä voisi viitata epätäydellisyyteen. – Emme enää voi puhua stereotypiasta, vaan kyseessä on kansallismyytti, Siiberg toteaa. Bulgarialaisilla ei kuitenkaan ole erityisasemaa suomalaisten mielissä. Väitöskirjassa tarkastellaan Suomen ja Bulgarian välisten kulttuuri- ja kirjallisuussuhteiden syntymistä ja kehitystä sekä tutkitaan kanssakäymisen erityispiirteitä vertailevan kirjallisuustieteen ja kulttuurintutkimuksen näkökulmasta. Siibergin esittämä malli Suomen kansallismyytin syntymis…
