Solving linear differential equations is a fundamental task in scientific computing and an important primitive for quantum computing. A recent one-ancilla quantum differential equation solver provides a hardware-friendly and…
Quasi-2D Bi$_2$O$_2$Se is part of an intensive materials research effort aimed at finding new semiconductors that outperform silicon-based electronics in terms of speed and power consumption. This material exhibits exceptionally high…
A quantitative, material-specific account of spectral and transport properties remains a central challenge in the theory of strongly correlated materials. Combining density functional theory with dynamical mean-field theory (DFT+DMFT) has…
Biological fibers exhibit exceptional mechanical properties such as high stiffness, toughness, and elasticity. The stiffness of bio-fibers is governed by a hierarchical microstructure that is highly sensitive to the extraction method,…
Rare-event searches require exceptionally low background levels, motivating the development of increasingly sophisticated screening methods to push sensitivity limits. Liquid scintillators are particularly attractive detector media due to…
Different diagnostics of black hole thermodynamic branch structure do not always identify the same local event. We examine this issue in charged AdS black hole examples where a thermodynamic topological phase transition is known to occur.…
High-resolution atomic force microscopy has transformed molecular imaging by revealing intramolecular structure directly in real space. A major remaining challenge is to extend this capability from largely planar molecules to non-planar…
Polarization observations at millimeter wavelengths can be used to study magnetized plasma in jets launched by supermassive black holes. We used multiband Atacama Large Millimeter Array (ALMA) data to study the polarization structure of…
Magnetic fields generated by the nonlinear Rayleigh-Taylor growth of laser-seeded three-dimensional broadband perturbations were measured in laser-accelerated planar targets using ultrafast proton radiography. The experimental data show…
The dynamics of Fierz-complete four-quark interactions and its influence on the QCD phase diagram have been investigated within the functional renormalization group approach to QCD at finite temperature and densities. It is found that in…
The implications of selecting different unit cells are often overlooked in both direct studies of microstructured materials and their homogenized equivalents. Investigating the effects of unit cell selection is crucial not only for…
The DESI collaboration's Data Release~2 (DR2) provides baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) measurements from over 14 million galaxies and quasars, and a joint analysis of DESI BAO, CMB, and Type~Ia Supernovae reveals a preference for…
In this paper, we investigate five-dimensional $\mathcal{N} = 1$ supersymmetric $SO(2N)$ gauge theories coupled to hypermultiplets in spinor/conjugate spinor representation based on 5-brane web constructions with O5-planes. Based on the…
We demonstrate that the balance between polar and positional order can be systematically tuned through molecular engineering, providing direct control over the emergence of polar and modulated liquid-crystalline phases, allowing for…
We investigate a (2+1)-dimensional nonlinear spin system containing an effective spin-current transport term. Based on its integrable structure, exact magnetic lump solutions are constructed on a rotating spin background, including both…
I formulate black-hole-horizon-induced decoherence of charged branch codes as the leading-soft QED restricted to an exterior algebra, formulated as an open quantum system. The fixed-history Feynman--Vernon identity ${\cal F}[J,J]=1$ remains…
Motivated by recent experiments showing pressure-induced suppression of magnetic order and the emergence of a dynamical ground state in the anisotropic kagome antiferromagnet Y-kapellasite Y3Cu9(OH)19Cl8, we perform ab initio density…
Pair generation in time-varying media is commonly attributed to time reflection at temporal boundaries or to amplification inside momentum k gaps. Here we show that these two processes are connected by the time domain Stokes phenomenon. A…
Graph neural networks have become the dominant machine-learning architecture for predicting materials properties from crystal structures. Yet the initialization of atomic node features has received comparatively little attention, and…
Nonlinear dynamics is ubiquitous in nature, ranging from chemical pattern formation to ocean circulation, yet its simulation on quantum computers is fundamentally limited by the unitary nature of quantum evolution. We propose the quantum…
