Quantum complexity phase transitions in monitored random circuits by Ryotaro Suzuki, Jonas Haferkamp, Jens Eisert, Philippe Faist

“…Recently, the dynamics of quantum systems that involve both unitary evolution and quantum measurements have attracted attention due to the exotic phenomenon of measurement-induced phase transitions. The latter refers to a sudden change in a property of a state of $n$ qubits, such as its entanglement entropy, depending on the rate at which individual qubits are measured. …”

The Problem of Evil: by A.S. Antombikums

“… Open theism argues that traditional responses to the problem of evil fail to provide comfort amidst suffering because of their notion of metaphysical determinism and over-dependence on Greek philosophy. Open theists argue that the best solution to the problem of evil lies in our understanding of the nature of God’s power, which has been relinquished due to his love, the open nature of creation, and the creatures’ inherent powers. …”

Active frequency support capability evaluation of photovoltaic stations based on bi-level evaluation method by Zhengxi Li, Libin Yang, Wanpeng Zhou, Chunlai Li

“…By considering several national standards, a comprehensive evaluation indicator system of AFSC for PV stations is established from three aspects: frequency stability, power support, and power regulation. In order to avoid the impact of subjective factors, this paper proposes a bi-level evaluation model combining decision-making trial and evaluation laboratory (DEMATEL), technique for order preference by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS), and antagonistic interpretive structural modeling (AISM) for weighting the indicators. …”

A hydropower plant scheduling model considering the stochastic correlation between runoff and electricity prices by WU Ying, WANG Juefei, LI Junjie, WANG Kun, SHEN Yan, WU Yingjun

“…To address this， a scheduling model is proposed that aims to maximize expected net revenue while minimizing medium- to long-term operational risks. First， using the conditional value at risk （CVaR） theory， marginal distribution functions are utilized to characterize the risks of runoff uncertainty and electricity price volatility （EPV）， enabling accurate risk assessment for market-operated hydropower plants. …”
