We investigate vapor-deposited glasses of a phenanthroperylene-ester, known to form an equilibrium hexagonal columnar phase, and show that liquid crystal-like order can be manipulated by the choice of deposition rate and substrate…
Amorphous solids subjected to athermal quasistatic oscillatory shear undergo a transition from periodic reversible dynamics to irreversible diffusive dynamics at yielding. How irreversibility arises in such deterministic, dissipative…
In semiconductor single-spin qubits, high-fidelity quantum gates have been demonstrated; however, achieving consistent performance remains challenging due to variations in driven qubit coherence, which is less explored than free-evolution…
Here, we use resonant elastic x-ray scattering (REXS) to investigate the inhomogeneity of the zero-field magnetic spin texture of Eu(Al$_{0.4}$Ga$_{0.6}$)$_4$. By using spatially-resolved REXS, we show that the two magnetic transitions at…
Traditional models for stress-strain behavior of glassy polymers are based on the assumption that the critical features of the stress-strain response can be explained by changes in the molecular mobility. The four-step deformation…
This study deals with both spontaneously-formed and electrically-induced structures observed in the nematic phase of two dielectrically negative twist-bend nematogens. In planar cells, the nematic layers are inhomogeneous, existing in a…
We prove inference-time quantum coordination advantages for specified AI state-tracking tasks. A solver compresses semantic history into a future-accessible boundary state and later answers a query. We count communication $B$, persistent…
In this paper we study the universal critical dynamics near the tricritical points in $\mathrm{^3He}$-$\mathrm{^4He}$ mixtures and QCD with two massless quark flavors. In particular, we use the real-time formulation of the functional…
Work function plays a pivotal role in technologies ranging from energy conversion and electronics to catalysis. In this work, we integrated machine learning (ML) with multi-fidelity screening to develop a data-driven framework for…
When a liquid thread pinches off, its neck thins as it separates into two unconnected regions. Using continuum mechanics, we can predict that the neck reaches zero radius in finite time while its curvature grows without bound. Together, the…
Fast and accurate prediction of energetic-particle transport driven by Alfv\'en eigenmode (AE) instabilities is essential for integrated modeling workflows used in the design and optimization of burning plasma fusion reactors. In this work,…
We study periodic orbits and the associated gravitational radiation of a magnetized (uncharged) test particle carrying a magnetic dipole moment with coupling constant beta, moving in the equatorial plane of a rotating, magnetized Kerr black…
We study the role of ancillary entanglement in quantum channel parameter estimation and investigate the minimal ancilla dimension required to achieve the maximum Fisher information. We introduce the $k$-ancilla Fisher information, which…
Multiple studies on active matter have shown that activity can induce or suppress a phase transition, or modify the critical behavior of a passive system. Here we investigate how activity affects the jamming transition which is a…
We investigate multi-channel di-Higgs signal prospects in the semi-constrained Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (scNMSSM) at large-lambda/low-tan(beta) at the HL-LHC with sqrt(s) = 13.6 TeV and L = 3000 fb^{-1}. Building on our…
We study the axisymmetric partial engulfment of a small rigid sphere by a fluid Helfrich membrane. When the size ratio $\eps$ between the particle and the membrane is small, the neck that joins the wrapped cap to the surrounding membrane is…
Particle identification (PID) remains a key ingredient of the physics programmes of future collider experiments. While traditional collider detectors rely on calorimetry, tracking and muon systems for particle classification, the…
Protected zero modes are a hallmark of topological phases of matter and are exponentially localized at sharp interfaces between distinct gapped phases. We investigate how this picture changes for smooth interfaces in a broad class of…
The main difficulty in 3D gravity inversion is that surface observations lack vertical wavenumber information, making the problem underdetermined and depth resolution poor. Building on the author's spectral-domain pseudo-inverse theory for…
The properties of O-type supergiant stars remain largely unexplored. By analysing their light variations, we can unravel underlying physical phenomena, such as binarity, stellar pulsations, and rotation modes. This study aims to analyse the…
