Quantum field theoretical structure of electrical conductivity of cold and dense fermionic matter in the presence of a magnetic field
We have gone through a detailed calculation of the two-point correlation function of vector currents at finite density and magnetic field by employing the real time formalism of finite temperature field theory and Schwinger's proper time formalism. With respect to the direction of external magnetic field, the parallel and perpendicular components of electric conductivity for the degenerate relativistic fermionic matter are obtained from the zero momentum limit of the current-current correlator, owing to Kubo formula. Our quantum field theoretical expressions and numerical estimations are compared with the same, obtained from the relaxation time approximation methods of kinetic theory and its Landau quantized extension, which may be called as classical and quantum results respectively. All the results are merged in the classical domain i.e. high density and low magnetic field region but in the remaining (quantum) domain, quantum results carry a quantized information like Shubnikov-de Haas oscillation along density and magnetic field axes. We have obtained completely new quantum field theoretical expression for perpendicular conductivity of degenerate relativistic fermionic matter. Interestingly, our quantum field theoretical calculation provide a new mathematical form of cyclotron frequency with respect to its classical definition, which might require more future research to interpret the phenomena.

Heavy quark potential and LQCD based quark condensate at finite magnetic field
In the present work, we have studied heavy quarkonia potential in hot and magnetized quark gluon plasma. Inverse magnetic catalysis (IMC) effect is incorporated within the system through the magnetic field modified Debye mass by modifying the effective quark masses. We have obtained the real and imaginary part of the heavy quark potential in this new scenario. After the evaluation of the binding energy and the decay width we comment about the dissociation temperatures of the heavy quarkonia in presence of magnetic field.

Kubo estimation of the electrical conductivity for a hot relativistic fluid in the presence of a magnetic field
We have explored the multi-component structure of electrical conductivity of relativistic Fermionic and Bosonic fluid in presence of magnetic field by using Kubo approach. This is done by explicitly evaluating the thermo-magnetic vector current spectral functions using the real time formalism of finite temperature field theory and the Schwinger proper time formalism. In absence of magnetic field, the one-loop diagramatic representation of Kubo expression of any transport coefficients is exactly same with relaxation time approximation (RTA) based expression, but this equality does not hold for finite magnetic field picture due to lacking of proper implementation of quantum effect in latter approach. We have shown this discrepancy for particular transport coefficient - electrical conductivity, whose starting point in Kubo approach will be electromagnetic current-current correlator and its one-loop skeleton diagram carrying two scalar/Dirac propagators for scalar/Dirac fluid. Through a numerical comparison between RTA and Kubo expressions of conductivity components (parallel and perpendicular), we have attempted to interpret detail quantum field theoretical effect, contained by Kubo expression but not by RTA expression. In classical RTA expression we get magnetic field independent parallel conductivity due to zero Lorentz force but in field theoretical Kubo expression, it decreases and increases with the magnetic field for scalar and Dirac medium respectively due to Landau quantization effect. This parallel component of conductivity can be interpreted as zero momentum limit of quantum fluctuation with same Landau level internal lines. While for perpendicular component of conductivity, fluctuation with Landau level differences $\pm 1$ are noticed, which might be a new realization of transportation in field theoretical sector.

From Non-interacting to Interacting Picture of Quark Gluon Plasma in presence of magnetic field and its fluid property
We have attempted to build a parametric based simplified and analytical model to map the interaction of quarks and gluons in presence of magnetic field, which has been constrained by quark condensate and thermodynamical quantities like pressure, energy density etc., obtained from the calculation of lattice quantum chromodynamics. To fulfill that mapping, we have assumed a parametric temperature and magnetic field dependent degeneracy factor, average energy, momentum and velocity of quarks and gluons. Implementing this QCD interaction in calculation of transport coefficient at finite magnetic field, we have noticed that magnetic field and interaction both are two dominating sources, for which the values of transport coefficients can be reduced. Though the methodology is not so robust, but with the help of its simple parametric expressions, one can get a quick rough estimation of any phenomenological quantity, influenced by temperature and magnetic field dependent QCD interaction.

One-loop Kubo estimations of the shear and bulk viscous coefficients for hot and magnetized Bosonic and Fermionic systems
The expressions of the shear viscosity and the bulk viscosity components in the presence of an arbitrary external magnetic field for a system of hot charged scalar Bosons (spin-0) as well as for a system of hot charged Dirac Fermions (spin-$\frac{1}{2}$) have been derived by employing the one-loop Kubo Formalism. This is done by explicitly evaluating the thermo-magnetic spectral functions of the energy momentum tensors using the real time formalism of finite temperature field theory and the Schwinger proper time formalism. In the present work, a rich quantum field theoretical structure in the expressions of the viscous coefficients in non-zero magnetic field are found, which are different from their respective expressions obtained earlier via kinetic theory based calculations; though, in absence of magnetic field, the one-loop Kubo and the kinetic theory based expressions for the viscosities are known to be identical. We have identified that Kubo and kinetic theory based results of viscosity components follow similar kind of temperature and magnetic field dependency. The relaxation time and the synchrotron frequency in the kinetic theory formalism are realized to be connected respectively with the thermal width of propagator and the transitions among the Landau levels of the charged particles in the Kubo formalism. We believe that, the connection of latter quantities are quite new and probably the present work is the first time addressing this interpretation along with the new expressions of viscosity components, not seen in existing works.

Non-Relativistic Scenario of a Free Particle in an Infinite Cylindrical Potential Well
There are various types of infinite potential well problems occurring in elementary quantum mechanics formalism. The infinite square well (one dimensional), cubical box and, spherical well are quite common in textbooks. In this paper, we consider a rather uncommon potential well, an infinite cylindrical well, and try to find its energy eigenvalues and eigenfunctions using Schrödinger equation. We also plot some radial wavefunctions and density plots.

A Compressed Sensing Approach to Pooled RT-PCR Testing for COVID-19 Detection
We propose `Tapestry', a novel approach to pooled testing with application to COVID-19 testing with quantitative Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-PCR) that can result in shorter testing time and conservation of reagents and testing kits. Tapestry combines ideas from compressed sensing and combinatorial group testing with a novel noise model for RT-PCR used for generation of synthetic data. Unlike Boolean group testing algorithms, the input is a quantitative readout from each test and the output is a list of viral loads for each sample relative to the pool with the highest viral load. While other pooling techniques require a second confirmatory assay, Tapestry obtains individual sample-level results in a single round of testing, at clinically acceptable false positive or false negative rates. We also propose designs for pooling matrices that facilitate good prediction of the infected samples while remaining practically viable. When testing $n$ samples out of which $k \ll n$ are infected, our method needs only $O(k \log n)$ tests when using random binary pooling matrices, with high probability. However, we also use deterministic binary pooling matrices based on combinatorial design ideas of Kirkman Triple Systems to balance between good reconstruction properties and matrix sparsity for ease of pooling. In practice, we have observed the need for fewer tests with such matrices than with random pooling matrices. This makes Tapestry capable of very large savings at low prevalence rates, while simultaneously remaining viable even at prevalence rates as high as 9.5\%. Empirically we find that single-round Tapestry pooling improves over two-round Dorfman pooling by almost a factor of 2 in the number of tests required. We validate Tapestry in simulations and wet lab experiments with oligomers in quantitative RT-PCR assays. Lastly, we describe use-case scenarios for deployment.

Electrical conductivity of strongly magnetized dense quark matter -- possibility of quantum hall effect
We have pointed out the possibility of quantum Hall effect or quantum patterns of transportation in a degenerate strongly magnetized quark matter, which might be expected inside a highly dense compact star. An anisotropic pattern of electrical conductivity and resistivity tensor in classical and quantum cases is explored by considering cyclotron motion and Landau quantization respectively. With increasing magnetic field, classical to quantum transitions are realized through enhanced/reduced resistivity/conductivity with jumping pattern. Considering QCD relaxation time scale of 10 fm, $eB\approx (1-4) m_π^2$ might be considered as strong magnetic field for massless and degenerate quark matter with quark chemical potential $μ\approx 0.2-0.4$ GeV. Beyond these threshold ranges of magnetic field, perpendicular motion of quarks might be stopped and 3 $\rightarrow$ 1 dimensionally reduced conduction picture might be established.

Dynamics of QCD Matter -- current status
In this article, there are 18 sections discussing various current topics in the field of relativistic heavy-ion collisions and related phenomena, which will serve as a snapshot of the current state of the art. Section 1 reviews experimental results of some recent light-flavored particle production data from ALICE collaboration. Other sections are mostly theoretical in nature. Very strong but transient magnetic field created in relativistic heavy-ion collisions could have important observational consequences. This has generated a lot of theoretical activity in the last decade. Sections 2, 7, 9, 10 and 11 deal with the effects of the magnetic field on the properties of the QCD matter. There are several unanswered questions about the QCD phase diagram. Sections 3, 11 and 18 discuss various aspects of the QCD phase diagram and phase transitions. Recent years have witnessed interesting developments in foundational aspects of hydrodynamics and their application to heavy-ion collisions. Sections 12, 15, 16 and 17 of this article probe some aspects of this exciting field. Transport coefficients together with their temperature- and density-dependence, are essential inputs in hydrodynamical calculations. Sections 5, 8 and 14 deal with calculation/estimation of various transport coefficients (shear and bulk viscosity, thermal conductivity, relaxation times, etc.) of quark matter and hadronic matter. Sections 4, 6 and 13 deals with interesting new developments in the field. Section 4 discusses color dipole gluon distribution function at small transverse momentum in the form of a series of Bells polynomials. Section 6 discusses the properties of Higgs boson in the quark gluon plasma using Higgs-quark interaction. Section 13 discusses modification of coalescence model to incorporate viscous corrections and application of this model.

Impact of different extended components of mean field models on transport coefficients of quark matter and their causal aspects
Role of different extensions of Nambu\textendash Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model like addition of vector interaction, Polyakov loop extended version (PNJL) and the entangled PNJL (EPNJL) models on transport coefficients like shear viscosity, bulk viscosity, electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity are critically analyzed. We have considered the standard expressions of transport coefficients, obtained in relaxation time approximation of kinetic theory. Influence of temperature dependent order parameters on temperature profile of transport coefficients are analyzed. Causal aspect of massless case to these different extended components of mean field models are also picturized, where an approximated lower and upper bound are drawn for shear relaxation time.

Anisotropic electrical conductivity of magnetized hot quark matter
We studied the effect of a strong magnetic field ($B$) on the electrical conductivity of hot quark matter. The electrical conductivity is a key transport coefficient determining the time dependence and strength of magnetic fields generated in a relativistic heavy-ion collision. A~magnetic field induces Hall anisotropic conduction, phase-space Landau-level quantization and, if sufficiently strong, interferes with prominent QCD phenomena such as dynamical quark mass generation, likely affecting the quark matter electrical conductivity, which depends strongly on the quark masses. To address these issues, we used a quasi-particle description of quark matter in which the electric charge carriers are constituent quarks with temperature- and magnetic-field-dependent masses predicted by a Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model. The model accurately describes recent lattice QCD results showing magnetic catalysis at low temperatures and inverse magnetic catalysis at temperatures close to the pseudo-critical temperature ($T_{\rm pc}$) of the QCD phase transition. We found that the magnetic field increases the conductivity component parallel to it and decreases the transverse component, in qualitative agreement with recent lattice QCD results. In addition, we found that: (1)~the space anisotropy of the conductivity increases with~$B$, (2)~the longitudinal conductivity increases due to phase-space Landau-level quantization, (3)~a lowest Landau level approximation behaves poorly for temperatures close to $T_{\rm pc}$, and (5)~inverse magnetic catalysis leaves a distinctive signal in all components of the conductivity, a prominent peak at $T_{\rm pc}$. Our study adds to the existing body of work on the hot quark matter electrical conductivity by incorporating nontrivial temperature and magnetic field effects on dynamical mass generation.

Shear viscosity and electrical conductivity of relativistic fluid in presence of magnetic field: a massless case
We have explored the shear viscosity and electrical conductivity calculations for bosonic and fermionic medium, which goes from without to with magnetic field picture and then their simplified massless expressions. In presence of magnetic field, 5 independent velocity gradient tensors can be designed, so their corresponding proportional coefficients, connected with the viscous stress tensor provide us 5 shear viscosity coefficients. In existing litterateurs, two sets of tensors are available. Starting from them, present work has obtained two sets of expressions for 5 shear viscosity coefficients, which can be ultimately classified into three basic components: parallel, perpendicular and Hall components as one get same for electrical conductivity at finite magnetic field. Our calculations are based on kinetic theory approach in relaxation time approximation. Repeating same mathematical steps for finite magnetic field picture, which traditionally practiced for without field case, we have obtained 2 sets of 5 shear viscosity components, whose final expressions are in well agreements with earlier references, although a difference in methodology or steps can be clearly noticed. Realizing the massless results of viscosity and conductivity for Maxwell-Boltzmann, Fermi-Dirac and Bose-Einstein distribution function, we have applied them for massless quark gluon plasma and hadronic matter phases, which can provide us a rough order of strength, within which actual results will vary during quark-hadron phase transition. Present work also indicates that magnetic field might have some role for building perfect fluid nature in RHIC or LHC matter. The lower bound expectation of shear viscosity to entropy density ratio is also discussed.

Anisotropic transport properties of Hadron Resonance Gas in magnetic field
An intense transient magnetic field is produced in high energy heavy-ion collisions mostly due to the spectator protons inside the two colliding nucleus. The magnetic field introduces anisotropy in the medium and hence the isotropic scalar transport coefficients become anisotropic and split into multiple components. Here we calculate the anisotropic transport coefficients shear, bulk viscosity, electrical conductivity, and the thermal diffusion coefficients for a multicomponent Hadron- Resonance-Gas (HRG) model for a non-zero magnetic field by using the Boltzmann transport equation in a relaxation time approximation (RTA). The anisotropic transport coefficient component along the magnetic field remains unaffected by the magnetic field, while perpendicular dissipation is governed by the interplay of the collisional relaxation time and the magnetic time scale, which is inverse of the cyclotron frequency. We calculate the anisotropic transport coefficients as a function of temperature and magnetic field using the HRG model. The neutral hadrons are unaffected by the Lorentz force and do not contribute to the anisotropic transports, we estimate within the HRG model the relative contribution of isotropic and anisotropic transports as a function of magnetic field and temperature. We also give an estimation of these anisotropic transport coefficients for the hadronic gas at finite baryon chemical potential.

Finite size effect on Dissociation and Diffusion of chiral partners in Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model
Along with masses of pion and sigma meson modes, their dissociation into quark medium provide a detail spectral structures of the chiral partners. Present article has studied a finite size effect on that detail structure of chiral partners by using the framework of Nambu-Jona-Lasinio model. Through this dissociation mechanism, their diffusions and conductions are also studied. The masses, widths, diffusion coefficients, conductivities of chiral partners are merged at different temperatures in restore phase of chiral symmetry, but merging points of all are shifted in lower temperature, when one introduce finite size effect into the picture. The strengths of diffusions and conductions are also reduced due to finite size consideration.

Parallel Iterative Edit Models for Local Sequence Transduction
We present a Parallel Iterative Edit (PIE) model for the problem of local sequence transduction arising in tasks like Grammatical error correction (GEC). Recent approaches are based on the popular encoder-decoder (ED) model for sequence to sequence learning. The ED model auto-regressively captures full dependency among output tokens but is slow due to sequential decoding. The PIE model does parallel decoding, giving up the advantage of modelling full dependency in the output, yet it achieves accuracy competitive with the ED model for four reasons: 1.~predicting edits instead of tokens, 2.~labeling sequences instead of generating sequences, 3.~iteratively refining predictions to capture dependencies, and 4.~factorizing logits over edits and their token argument to harness pre-trained language models like BERT. Experiments on tasks spanning GEC, OCR correction and spell correction demonstrate that the PIE model is an accurate and significantly faster alternative for local sequence transduction.

Learning from Rules Generalizing Labeled Exemplars
In many applications labeled data is not readily available, and needs to be collected via pain-staking human supervision. We propose a rule-exemplar method for collecting human supervision to combine the efficiency of rules with the quality of instance labels. The supervision is coupled such that it is both natural for humans and synergistic for learning. We propose a training algorithm that jointly denoises rules via latent coverage variables, and trains the model through a soft implication loss over the coverage and label variables. The denoised rules and trained model are used jointly for inference. Empirical evaluation on five different tasks shows that (1) our algorithm is more accurate than several existing methods of learning from a mix of clean and noisy supervision, and (2) the coupled rule-exemplar supervision is effective in denoising rules.
