Geometrical quantum time in the U(1)3 model of Euclidean quantum gravity

open access: yesCommunications in Theoretical Physics
Abstract Loop quantum gravity faces challenges in constructing a well-defined Hamiltonian constraint and understanding the quantum notion of time. In this paper these issues are studied by quantizing the U(1)3 model, a simplified system exhibiting features similar to general relativity.

A Novel Milli‐Scale Magnetic Robot Exploiting Rotation for Controlled Magnetic Particles Release

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
Delivering magnetic particles can become a game changer in minimally invasive medicine. To cope with this challenge, a magnetically actuated milli‐scale carrier leveraging rotation to perform on‐demand tunable release of magnetic particles across multiple release events is presented.

REWW‐ARM—Remote Wire‐Driven Mobile Robot: Design, Control, and Experimental Validation

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
The Remote Wire‐Driven robot “REWW‐ARM” demonstrates a new concept of remote actuation that separates electronics from harsh environments while retaining closed‐loop control. Combining tendon‐sheath mechanisms with decoupled joints, it achieves efficient power transmission and autonomous locomotion, manipulation, and underwater operation, suggesting ...

Computation with spin foam models of quantum gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
The focus of this thesis is the study of spin foam models of quantum gravity on a computer. These models include the standard Barrett-Crane (BC) spin foam model, as well as the new Engle-Pereira-Rovelli (EPR) and Freidel-Krasnov (FK) models. New numerical algorithms are developed and implemented, based on the existing Christensen-Egan (CE) algorithm ...
