Diffusive memristors fabricated and measured recently have sparked significant interest as potential candidates for mimicking neuron activities, but the understanding of the contribution and interplay of deterministic and stochastic dynamics in their functional properties remains an open issue. A perturbative approach has been proposed to separate the influence of noise from the regular motion of nanoparticles in diffusive memristors, revealing a novel spiking mechanism generated by the coupling of noise and deterministic degrees of freedom in artificial neurons based on diffusive memristors. This development suggests an approach towards deterministic modeling of stochastic artificial neurons.
Recently fabricated and measured diffusive memristors have attracted a significant interest as one of the best candidates to mimic neuron activities and to implement novel computing paradigms. Such devices are capable of exhibiting a combination of dynamical chaotic, and stochastic phenomena needed for efficient neuromorphic computational systems. However, understanding of contribution and interplay of deterministic and stochastic dynamics to the functional properties of a diffusive memristor is still an open problem. Here, we propose a perturbative approach allowing to separate an influence of noise from regular motion of nanoparticles in diffusive memristors. We demonstrate that noise, coupled with a deterministic degree of freedom in artificial neurons based on diffusive memristors, originates a novel spiking mechanism absent in noiseless systems. The developed formalism suggests an approach towards deterministic modeling of stochastic artificial neurons. (c) 2021 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

An investigation of higher order moments of empirical financial data and their implications to risk

Luke De Clerk, Sergey Savel'ev

Summary: This study analyzes the behavior of higher order standardized moments of financial time series in different time windows and discovers two different scaling relations as the length of the time window decreases. These scaling relations drastically change when the time window includes a financial crisis. Furthermore, a qualitative change of higher order standardized moments compared with Gaussian values is observed when the time window shrinks.

Spatially distributed computation in cortical circuits

Sergei Gepshtein, Ambarish S. Pawar, Sunwoo Kwon, Sergey Savel'ev, Thomas D. Albright

Summary: The traditional view of specialized sensory neurons in the cortical region has been challenged by evidence of contextual interactions between stimulus dimensions. Through mathematical modeling and experiments, the concept of neural wave interference provides a useful alternative to the traditional concept of neural computation.

Nonstationary Generalised Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity Modelling for Fitting Higher Order Moments of Financial Series within Moving Time Windows

Luke De Clerk, Sergey Savel'ev

Summary: This paper presents a method for fitting higher order moments of stock prices using a simple GARCH (1, 1) model. It shows that a Gaussian conditional distribution fails to capture the higher order moments and suggests using a mixture of normal distributions instead. The paper also investigates the ability of the GARCH model with a double normal conditional distribution to fit higher order moments based on different time window lengths and parameters, and explores the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on stock stability.

Quantum electrodynamics of non-demolition detection of single microwave photon by superconducting qubit array

P. Navez, A. G. Balanov, S. E. Savel'ev, A. M. Zagoskin

Summary: By using the formalism of quantum electrodynamics, we have developed a comprehensive theoretical framework to describe the interaction between single microwave photons and an array of superconducting transmon qubits in a waveguide cavity resonator. Our analysis reveals the effects of microwave photons on the array's response to a weak probe signal, showing that high quality factor cavities provide better spectral resolution, while moderate quality factor cavities offer better sensitivity for single-photon detection. Surprisingly, our results demonstrate that even a single qubit in a cavity can detect a single-photon signal under realistic system parameters. We also discuss the influence of quantum properties and electrodynamical properties on the response of qubit arrays. This study provides an efficient theoretical foundation for the development and design of quantum devices with qubit arrays, especially those using cavities with explicit expressions for transmission or reflection.

Lisitskiy

Summary: We propose a novel method to detect low power microwave signals at several GHz based on the collective response of quantum states in a superconducting qubits network. Our theory predicts that the network will demonstrate a collective alternating current Stark effect even in the limit of single photon counting. We designed and tested a three-terminal SQN detector containing 10 flux qubits weakly coupled to a low-dissipative R-resonator and T-transmission line.

Chaotic Bloch oscillations in dissipative optical systems driven by a periodic train of coherent pulses

A. Verbitskiy, A. Yulin, A. G. Balanov

Summary: We investigated the response of an optical system with Kerr nonlinearity to a periodic train of coherent pulses. The intensity of the excited field in the system was found to depend resonantly on the pulses' period. Numerical and analytical results demonstrated that the system's response is stronger when the pulse period is commensurate with the period of Bloch oscillations. Moreover, sufficiently large pulses can induce instabilities leading to chaotic Bloch oscillations of the wave-function envelope in both time and space. These instabilities are associated with period-doubling bifurcations, with a cascade of such bifurcations triggering the chaotic behavior.

Summary: Gamma radiation has been found to have a novel effect on diffusive memristors based on metallic silver nanoparticles and a silica dielectric matrix. The irradiated memristors and artificial neurons made from them exhibit improved performance in terms of resistive switching and spiking frequencies. Nanoinclusions of reduced silicon distributed across the silica layer are proposed to be the backbone for the formation of conductive filaments.

Development of a contact force model with a fluid damping factor for immersed collision events

Gengxiang Wang, Yang Liu, Caishan Liu

Summary: This investigation studies the impact behavior of a contact body in a fluidic environment. A dissipated coefficient is introduced to describe the energy dissipation caused by hydrodynamic forces. A new fluid damping factor is derived to depict the coupling between liquid and solid, as well as the coupling between solid and solid. A new coefficient of restitution (CoR) is proposed to determine the actual physical impact. A new contact force model with a fluid damping factor tailored for immersed collision events is proposed.
