A topotactic phase transition involves the transformation of one crystalline solid to another, which may include the loss or gain of material, where the orientation of the parent crystal determines the orientation of the daughter. We set…
Super-resolution estimates a high-resolution image from a low-resolution image and has been used for downscaling and resolution enhancement of observations in meteorology. Super-resolution Gaussian process regression with a steering kernel…
This study presents a multi-fidelity framework for the systematic optimization of genetic algorithm (GA) hyperparameters. The framework integrates three fidelity levels: high-fidelity Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) homogenization for…
Efficient optimization and control of photonic computing and communication systems increasingly rely on accurate surrogate models/digital twins. While data-driven models may achieve faster inference than traditional physics-based methods,…
Porous gallium nitride (GaN) is a mesoporous crystalline material, typically in the form of a thin film on an unlike substrate, prepared by electrochemically etching conductive GaN. The use of porous GaN in electronics and optoelectronics…
The detection of transient gravitational wave signals relies on independent search algorithms that analyse detector data and assign significance measures to candidate events. However, varying performance complicates their interpretation. We…
Cosmic voids provide a distinct low-density region for studying the environmental effects of galaxy properties. Using the SDSS DR7 catalog, we identify non-spherical voids via Voronoi tessellation and the watershed algorithm, and classify…
Binary stars are key tracers of the dynamical evolution of star clusters and provide important constraints on stellar populations and mass functions. The Magellanic Clouds host clusters spanning a wide range of ages and masses, offering an…
The mass independent energy reconstruction of cosmic rays is crucial for understanding their origin, acceleration, and propagation. Precise measurement of the primary energy can also lead to better mass classification and could enable…
The GRAPES-3 experiment is a ground-based extensive air shower array which consists of approximately $400$ closely packed plastic scintillator detectors and a large area muon telescope. Estimating the number of associated muons created in…
GalPort is a Python package for analysing the orbital dynamics of evolving disc galaxy numerical models in action-angle space. The package implements novel numerical methods for efficiently estimating actions, angles, and frequencies across…
We show that Airy function partition functions for M2-brane theories may be derived from relative equivariant localization of quantum M-theory. The eleven-dimensional Chern--Simons coupling gives the cubic term in the grand potential, while…
Understanding the QCD phase structure and the possible existence of a critical point remains one of the central goals of the heavy-ion program at RHIC. In this proceeding, we present recent STAR results across multiple observables that…
The deconfined quantum critical point (DQCP) in square lattice S=1/2 quantum antiferromagnets has been extensively studied with a large body of evidence pointing to a weakly first-order transition scenario. Recent studies, which focused on…
Boundary layer theory and its analytical methods for skin friction coefficients provide an important basis for aerodynamic analysis. However, classical analytical formulas are mostly limited to flat-plate flows. High-fidelity numerical…
This work investigates the thermodynamic behavior of deformed AdS-Schwarzschild black holes by incorporating higher-order corrections within non-interacting spacetime models and extended entropy frameworks. To address the inadequacies of…
We predict a class of bound states in the continuum (BICs) in non-subwavelength periodic metasurfaces -- Rayleigh BICs -- that emerge precisely at Rayleigh anomalies, where diffraction channels open. In contrast to conventional…
The quantum boomerang effect (QBE) is a unique dynamical signature of Anderson localization, characterized by a launched wavepacket that initially drifts but ultimately returns to its initial position due to fundamental quantum…
Electromagnetic waves are intrinsically vectorial and require description via polarization, unlike scalar fields such as acoustic pressure or electronic wavefunctions. In three dimensions, the transversality constraint further prevents any…
We study a quantum implementation of non-Abelian Thouless pumping in Lieb lattices using Rydberg synthetic dimensions. The lattice is encoded in twelve selected microwave-coupled Rydberg levels, forming a three-cell structure with six…
