This paper is dedicated to the memory of Ms. Noam Rozenboim.
Noam passed away on March 28, 2022 after a hard and brave battle with cancer - two weeks after this paper's publication, and two months after her acceptance to PhD studies at Yale University.

Noam was 23 years old. She is survived by her parents, Tamar Schwartz and Sapir Rozenboim; her brother Ben and her sister Nir.

Noam was a bright and special young woman.
She was a curious and creative individual, a self-learner, passionate about solving challenging problems while utilizing advanced scientific tools.

We will remember Noam as a kind and optimistic person, fun to work with, who demonstrated courage, wisdom and good vibes.
