Optomechanical transduction harnesses the interaction between optical fields and mechanical motion to achieve sensitive measurement of weak mechanical quantities with inherently low noise. Lithium niobate combines low optical loss, strong piezoelectricity, high intrinsic fQ_m factor, and low thermal conductivity, making it promising...
We devise a technique to suppress the effect of noise transients occurring at gravitational-wave detectors based on temporal anticoincidence. Searches for gravitational-wave signals in the detector data are prone to spurious disturbances of terrestrial origin. The technique presented here benefits from the fact that the noise effects...
Finsler geometry serves as a fundamental and natural extension of Riemannian geometry, providing a valuable framework for investigating Lorentz violation in spacetime. Previous studies have treated the Finsler structures associated with different particles as distinct entities. In this paper, we propose a novel hypothesis suggesting...
Electronic nematicity in Fe-based superconductors is manifested by spontaneous rotational symmetry breaking and the formation of nematic domains with mutually orthogonal directions of $d_{xz}$/$d_{yz}$ orbital anisotropy. However, its energy dependence has remained largely unexplored in real space. Using 5.82-eV laser-excited...
Heat dissipation is ubiquitous in living systems, which constantly convert distinct forms of energy into each other. The transport of thermal energy in liquids and even within proteins is well understood but kinetic energy transfer across a heterogeneous molecular boundary provides additional challenges. Here, we use atomistic...
Accurate prediction of flow fields around underwater vehicles undergoing vertical-plane oblique motions is critical for hydrodynamic analysis, but it often requires computationally expensive CFD simulations. This study proposes a Data-Driven Flow Initialization (DDFI) framework that accelerates CFD simulation by integrating deep...
In this paper, we follow a Bootstrap-like approach to determine the most restricted form the finiteness constraint $\mathcal{F}(q,g,h,κ)$, which relates the four parameters of $\mathcal{N}=1$ Leigh-Strassler (LS) deformed models, by imposing mathematical and physical conditions. Focusing first on real parameters, we apply these...
In heavy-ion collisions, the initial collision geometry and its fluctuations drive the collective expansion of final-state hadrons in the transverse plane. However, longitudinal fluctuations induce event-plane twist and flow magnitude asymmetries, collectively known as longitudinal flow decorrelation. Using a multi-phase transport...
The uniformly accelerated Unruh-DeWitt detector serves as a fundamental model in relativistic quantum metrology. While previous studies have mainly concentrated on single-parameter estimation via quantum Cramér-Rao bound, the multi-parameter case remains significantly underexplored. In this paper, we investigate the multiparameter...
We investigate the phase ordering dynamics of a uniform two-dimensional Bose gas quenched to a finite temperature in the superfluid phase. Starting from a defect-rich, far-from-equilibrium state, we model the subsequent evolution with the projected Gross-Pitaevskii equation, which conserves both energy and particle number. By tuning...
This study explores the physicochemical modifications and antimicrobial potential of plasma activated saline generated by exposing Sodium Chloride and Ringer solution to atmospheric pressure dielectric barrier discharge plasma. Plasma activation produced reactive oxygen and nitrogen species leading to changes in pH, redox potential,...
The locality of field theories strongly constrains the possible behaviors of symmetry-twisted partition functions, and thus they serve as order parameters to detect low-energy realizations of global symmetries, such as spontaneous symmetry breaking (SSB). We demonstrate that the tensor renormalization group (TRG) offers an efficient...
We study the Higgs boson decays $h \to Zγ$ and $h \to m_VZ$ in a model with vectorlike fermions and $U(1)_X$ symmetry ($U(1)_X$VLFM), where $m_V$ is a vector meson ($ρ,\ ω,\ φ,\ J/ψ,\ Υ$). The exotic Yukawa interactions in this model generate mixing between Standard Model (SM) fermions and vectorlike fermions, and this mixing affects...
Subhalo spin is essential for modeling galaxy formation and controlling systematic uncertainties in intrinsic alignment (IA) studies. However, the physical mechanisms governing subhalo spin acquisition within the tidal environments of host halos remain poorly understood. In this work, we investigate the alignment between subhalo and...
Flagship neutrino oscillation experiments depend on precise and accurate theoretical knowledge of neutrino-nucleon cross sections across a variety of energies and interaction mechanisms. Key ingredients to the amplitudes that make up these cross sections are parameterized form factors. The axial form factor describing a weak...
We introduce quasi-symmetry groups in optics emerging from the commutation between mirror operation and the spin-orbit interaction (SOI) of light. Contrary to the principle of symmetry inheritance in free-space optics, where the symmetry of any structured field is strictly constrained by that of its source, we show that strong SOI...
The electrostatic charge acquired by powders during transport through ducts can cause devastating dust explosions. Our recently developed laser-optical measurement technique can resolve the powder charge along a one-dimensional (1D) path. However, the charge across the duct's complete two-dimensional (2D) cross-section, which is the...
We propose a data-driven approach to reconstruct the all-sky distribution of the dispersion measure contribution from the Galactic halo ($\mathrm{DM_{halo}}$) through a spherical harmonic expansion, enabling an investigation of its possible anisotropies. Based on the NE2001 model and using 92 localized and 574 unlocalized...
Quantum key distribution (QKD) is the most extensively researched quantum cryptographic protocol, leveraging quantum phenomena to enable information-theoretically secure key establishment. Conventional QKD systems rely on authenticated classical post-processing channels to prevent impersonation attacks. However, QKD inherently lacks...
Portable ultra-stable lasers are essential for high-precision measurements. This study presents a 1550 nm vehicle-portable ultra-stable laser designed for continuous real-time operation on highways. We implement several measures to mitigate environmental impacts, including active temperature control with a standard deviation of mK/day...
High Q-factors of microresonators are crucial for nonlinear integrated photonics, as many nonlinear dynamics have quadratic or even cubic dependence on Q-factors. The unique material properties make AlN microresonators invaluable for microcomb generation, Raman lasing and visible integrated photonics. However, the loss level of AlN...
Data for the ${{^{12}\mathrm{C}(n,α_{0})}}$, ${{^{16}\mathrm{O}(n,α_{0})}}$ and ${{^{16}\mathrm{O}(n,α_{1,2,3})}}$ differential cross sections are important for several different areas of nuclear physics such as understanding neutron transmutation in nuclear reactors. The TexAT Time Projection Chamber was used to measure the...
Procyon A is an F-type main-sequence star in a binary system. It has been the subject of numerous ground-based and space-based observing campaigns, providing precise classical constraints, including a well-determined mass. It was also among the first stars in which individual frequencies were detected, making it a crucial benchmark...
