The increasing complexity of industrial scheduling and transport routing problems motivates the study of alternative optimization formulations and computational paradigms. In this work, we study how higher-order unconstrained binary…
The most irreplaceable capability of HST in the 2030s is not only its angular resolution or its UV--optical sensitivity, but its accumulated time baseline. We recommend a Hubble Local Group Astrometric Legacy that would obtain matched 2030s…
Efficient computation of the angular bispectrum is an essential part of modelling large-scale structure observations, but it still remains an extremely challenging task. In this work, we compute the tree-level, unequal-time angular…
We explicitly account for electron-electron interactions when modeling low-dimensional helical organic molecules. We show that competition between various hopping channels, together with interaction-induced double- and superexchange…
Can causal relations be subject to quantum indefiniteness, similar to other physical properties? The process-matrix framework formalises this possibility: valid processes are defined by what local laboratories can implement, without…
We investigate the presence of primordial oscillatory features in measurements of CMB anisotropies through a systematic comparison of phenomenological templates. Building upon previous searches for primordial features using Planck data, we…
The realization of universal control in hybrid oscillator-qubit quantum processors enables the systematic design and implementation of quantum algorithms. However, the algorithmic development for such platforms remains at an early stage.…
We show that bright squeezed vacuum light, combined with a single-shot quadrature measurement of the post-interaction light, enables the ultrafast generation of macroscopic quantum states in matter. Although in the weak-coupling regime…
We study the primary constraint structure of Newer General Relativity, a gravity theory based on a torsionless teleparallel geometry. The gravitational action is built from a scalar formed by quadratic combinations of the nonmetricity…
Noise is typically treated as the adversary of quantum information processing. For open quantum dynamics, however, dissipation is part of the target physics, creating a tension with fault-tolerant architectures designed to suppress…
In this paper, we present HyperPrecision, a Mathematica package for high-precision numerical evaluation of general Horn-type multivariate hypergeometric functions and their Laurent expansions in a small parameter $\epsilon$. Such functions…
Chiroptical techniques for detecting and characterizing the chirality of matter and artificial nanostructures are traditionally based on their interaction with chiral light, typically circularly-polarized fields propagating in free space.…
A differential phase shift of a low-power spin wave (SW) induced by a high-power pumping wave co-propagating at different frequencies in perpendicularly magnetized magnetic films has been studied. We find that this effect for forward volume…
The ground-state many-body electron momentum density, which can be probed by x-ray Compton scattering, holds insights into the electronic structure of materials. Comparisons between the measured so-called Compton profiles and the…
We construct the causal fermion system for globally hyperbolic spacetimes starting in the framework of algebraic quantum field theory. The fermionic projector is identified with the one-particle density operator of a quasi-free Hadamard…
Conjugated polymers exhibit unique spin-dependent phenomena arising from weak yet critical hyperfine interactions. Understanding these spin effects, particularly the spin-dependent formation and decay of correlated spin pairs, is important…
Message-passing neural networks (MPNNs) are widely used for molecular property prediction, but their deployment as monolithic architectures makes it difficult to identify how specific message-passing operators affect performance. We present…
Low threshold cryogenic calorimeters are a key technology for the advancement of rare-event searches. However, since a few years their sensitivity reach is challenged by the presence of a rising spectrum at low energies named low-energy…
We present a lattice QCD determination of the Mellin moments of the unpolarized gluon parton distribution function in the proton. The analysis is based on matrix elements of nonlocal gluon operators coupled to momentum-boosted proton…
Fast radio bursts (FRBs) are bright (Jansky-level) and short-duration ($\sim 1$ ms) flashes of extragalactic origin. Observations of single events have now been complemented by large-area surveys, delivering FRB catalogues and enabling the…
