The Late Neolithic and Copper Age were a time of change in most of Europe. Technological innovations including animal traction, the wheel, and plow agriculture transformed the prehistoric economy. The discovery
(January). At the other end of the spectrum, we celebrate the season with Stravinsky’sRite of Springin the company of two topflight pianists:Pavel KolesnikovandSamson Tsoy(June). Along the way,Sébastien Daucéwill explore Europe’s High North with a programme of seventeenth-century Swedish ...
On a political level I suppose we need to elect governments that will be a) strong enough morally to oppose prejudice and b) smart enough economically to improve the lot of the disaffected. Clearly, sadly, the momentum appears to be going the other way in certain key democracies. This bring...
and this is proven by how many of us shop unenthusiastically, our minds wander back and forth and keep on vacillating between decisions to buy or not to buy like Shakespeare, keep waiting for discounts and then missing out the item because somebody else has taken the opportunity. ...
The interplay of quantum and thermal fluctuations in the vicinity of a quantum critical point characterizes the physics of strongly correlated systems. Here we investigate this interplay from a quantum information perspective presenting the universal pha
This discretization of the spectrum comes from the finite size of the sample. In the figure, we therefore include the experimental field maps associated to various frequency peaks, which correspond to different bulk bands in Fig. 2e,f. The insets located at the top right corners of the field...
A question remained open: to determine the stability or instability of the Stokes waves at the critical Whitham–Benjamin depthand analyze in detail the change of stable-vs-unstable behavior of the eigenvalues along this shallow-to-deep water transient. ...
(seerefraction). A triangular prism can separate white light into its constituent colors by refracting each differentwavelengthof light by a different amount. The longer wavelengths (those at the red end of thespectrum) are bent the least, the shorter ones (those at the violet end) the most...
Technology and data are increasingly used in sophisticated and complex ways. They are ever more critical to businesses and consumers, meaning that the risks associated with system failures, cyber attacks and misuse of intellectual property can be hugely damaging. Consequently, there is increased focus...
Its spectrum is real if PT-symmetry is not spontaneously broken, i.e., the eigenstates also respect PT symmetry. With broken PT-symmetry, the spectrum becomes complex. The analysis of higher-order exceptional points12 is beyond the scope of the current investigation. Non-Hermitian Hamiltonians ...
