We study the two qubit phase space which is very simply a seven sphere. However, the topological seven spheres come in 28 inequivalent differential structures. We study the non-abelian Berry connection on the Kaluza-Klein reduced seven sphere to the four sphere with Yang-Mills fields, to see how the exotic differential structure can affect the two qubit system.

We derive exact critical-temperature bounds for the classical ferromagnetic Ising model on two-dimensional periodic tessellations of the plane. For any such tessellation or lattice, the critical temperature is bounded from a above by a universal number that is solely determined by the largest coordination number on the lattice. Crucially, these bounds are tight in some cases such as the...

Experimental data demonstrates that continuous-wave (CW) theories of non-linear optics do not accurately model the optical turbulence (chaos) arising from delayed discrete feedback in nonlinear optical ring cavities (Ikeda, 1979). To accurately predict this onset of optical turbulence within a ring cavity, this study implements a high-performance computational architecture simulating the...
