In modular quantum computing architectures, communication between hardware modules is mediated by traveling qumodes sent through transmission lines. Each output qumode interacts with the emitting module only once through a beam-splitter-type interaction and becomes inaccessible to that module after emission. Information required for...
Quantum-state texture (QST) has found applications in several fields from quantum foundations and computation to quantum criticality. However, a general theory of QST dynamics under arbitrary physical processes remains unavailable, limiting both its practical application and experimental exploration. Here, we demonstrate that the QST...
We present $\texttt{VarFlExI}$ (Variable Fidelity Unsteady Flow-FEniCS Exchange Interface), a modular aeroelastic solver for modeling two-way fluid-structure interaction (FSI) of flexible lifting surfaces. The framework employs a reformulated Vortex Particle Method (rVPM) to solve the incompressible Navier-Stokes equations without the...
NuRadioMC is a framework for the simulation of ultra-high-energy neutrino detectors that measure the radio signal emitted in neutrino-induced particle cascades used in different radio neutrino experiments. We present an extension to the analytic raytracing method for multilayered exponential refractive index models, where the full...
Protein-protein interaction (PPI) network alignment combines topological and sequence information to identify conserved modules across species, but global alignment remains challenging: heuristics sacrifice optimality, while exact methods lack scalability. We model the alignment as a weighted maximum common induced subgraph problem...
We investigate reflected diffusion in a bounded domain subject to two independent, competing stopping mechanisms: an exponentially distributed bulk lifetime of rate $p$ and a surface reaction triggered when the boundary local time exceeds an independent exponential threshold of rate $q$. Denoting by $T$ the stopping time and by $L$...
We investigate the Weyl representation of the canonical commutation relations for a model describing a quantized massive scalar field under the influence of an external potential. The main problem is to determine whether the Weyl representation remains equivalent to or becomes inequivalent to the original one when the mass and/or...
Full-field laser Doppler vibrometry (LDV) can reveal how bolt torque loss redistributes a frequency response function (FRF) over an entire structure rather than only at a few sensor positions. This work presents a screening procedure for a four-bolt aluminum plate using pointwise amplitude and phase exports of scanned H1 FRFs....
Real-amplitude quantum theory is the subtheory of quantum theory invariant under complex conjugation, and experiments in a network of independent sources have measured correlations above the real bound. A theory can nevertheless carry the same conjugation without complete positivity and still have exactly the correlations of its own...
Current consensus suggests that Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) brightnesses post light-curve standardization correlate with their host-galaxy stellar masses, which must be accounted for to obtain accurate cosmological constraints. Vincenzi et al. (2025) showed that different host-galaxy stellar mass measurements for the same dataset can...
The confluence of strong electronic correlations and Berry curvature-driven transport constitutes a largely underexplored frontier in quantum materials research, particularly in systems where electronic correlations arise from flat-band physics rather than conventional $f$-electron states. Here, we report an intrinsic Berry curvature...
As quantum computing enters the early fault-tolerant era, circuit compilation choices will increasingly depend on details of the underlying architecture rather than solely optimizing for generic proxies such as non-Clifford count. We present an active-volume-aware compilation of the ground-state energy estimation algorithm for the...
The apparent scaling of the elliptic flow of identified hadrons with the number of constituent quarks indicates the presence of quark coalescence, and in turn suggests the presence of a deconfined state in heavy-ion collisions. Recent measurements at RHIC found a breaking of NCQ scaling at low energies and suggested that this marks...
Change detection in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) and interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) underpins disaster response, infrastructure monitoring and land-use enforcement. Detection is limited by the background estimator, which conventionally forms a conditional expectation directly from observed pixel statistics and...
LP 890-9, also known as SPECULOOS-2 and TOI-4306, is a nearby late-M dwarf hosting two confirmed transiting rocky exoplanets. We analyze 20 JWST/NIRSpec PRISM transits of LP 890-9b and LP 890-9c obtained as part of GO program 7073 and detect statistically significant transit timing variations (TTVs), with peak-to-peak amplitudes of...
Chaotic evolution measures how rapidly nearby configurations separate, but the existence of such rapid evolution does not by itself determine what physical information the evolution actually carries. For fixed-coupling JIMWLK evolution with fresh transverse-local, color-isotropic noise, we show that this distinction becomes exact -...
To date, even with JWST, it has not been possible to test for exomoons as small as the Moon. Only two reported searches for exomoons around bound planets have been attempted with JWST, both of which relied on a single JWST transit. We suggest that the below expectation sensitivity to date is, in part, a product of the considerable...
Quantum thermalization explains how an isolated many-body system naturally evolves towards a thermal state, rendering information about the initial conditions inaccessible to local measurements. This is precisely the mechanism utilized in quantum error correction, where information is protected by design through a nonlocal encoding....
We study the SCFT/VOA correspondence for the $(A_2,D_{3n-2})$ Argyres--Douglas theories with $n\geq2$. From the matching of the central charges and the equality of the Schur index with the vacuum supercharacter to all orders, we propose that the associated VOA is the logarithmic doublet algebra $\mathcal A(4n-2)$ of Feigin, Feigin,...
The entangled states of composite quantum systems are well studied. The particle-like nature of these systems also means that, while entangled, they can be physically separated and measurements performed on the separated subsystems. Measurements on the separated subsystems A and B should pertain to vectors in the local Hilbert space...
The LZ experiment has reported a single 248 keV nuclear recoil event in their $2.84$ ton-yr exposure on a xenon target. The absence of lower nuclear recoil events is naturally explained by inelastically scattering dark matter (DM), for which the nuclear recoil energy spectra are shifted upwards from zero. Excitingly, the observed rate...
Photonic chips with silicon nitride ($\mathrm{Si_3N_4}$) microring resonators are well established as heralded single-photon sources, but their operation as frequency-degenerate twin-photon sources has not previously been demonstrated. Here, we realise a twin-photon source at telecommunication wavelengths in a $\mathrm{Si_3N_4}$ ring...
Tunable mechanical networks are being developed as materials that learn in place. Capacity is estimated by counting tunable parameters against target constraints, ignoring Maxwell-Betti reciprocity, the symmetry every passive, linear elastic network obeys by construction. When p degrees of freedom are both driven and read out, every...
Parameterised graph theory studies how the complexity of graph-theoretic problems depends on structural parameters of the input graph. This perspective has proved useful in analysing tensor-network simulation (Markov and Shi, 2008). Its implications for tensor-network representations and tomography are less well understood. In...
The Peierls instability is a foundational mechanism in condensed matter physics, showing how the electron--phonon interaction can transform a simple metal into an insulating state with a new lattice periodicity. In a one-dimensional (1D) metal the Peierls instability follows from the enhanced electronic response at wavevector $Q=2k_F$...
