Pathfinder gamma-ray burst (GRB) detecting CubeSat missions such as GRBAlpha and VZLUSAT-2 have demonstrated the successful application of scintillator detectors with silicon photomultipliers in low Earth orbit (LEO). To produce more…
Jupiter, a rapidly rotating gas giant, features over 20 atmospheric jet streams that penetrate thousands of kilometers into the planet. This work discusses recent progress, identifies key uncertainties regarding the jets' driving and…
Differential privacy provides a rigorous framework for quantifying privacy leakage in data analysis, while its quantum extensions have become increasingly relevant with the development of quantum computing and quantum machine learning. In…
We investigate whether specially constructed text captions can capture the same morphological information as radio galaxy images. Using the MiraBest dataset, we generate captions with a domain-specific prompt and evaluate their alignment…
The microscopic origin of supercurrent nonreciprocity in van der Waals Josephson junctions remains under active debate, particularly regarding the role of twist-angle engineering in layered superconductors. Here, we investigate…
We study the transport properties of proximitized graphene, which can acquire a spin-orbit coupling by the proximity effect with a substrate. We focus on the ballistic and zero temperature limits, making use of a tight-binding procedure…
We present a systematic imaging and spatially resolved spectral study of SN 1987A using Chandra observations obtained between 1999 and 2025. By combining multiepoch ACIS and HETG data, we investigate the long-term evolution of the remnant…
We investigate how cavity-mediated attractive electron-electron interactions modify the excitation gaps of fractional quantum Hall states within the composite-fermion framework. We compute both the neutral magnetoroton excitation spectrum…
We introduce a mapping between the ground state of interacting fermionic Hamiltonians and the non-equilibrium steady state of a purely dissipative open quantum system. Within the framework of third quantization, we map the Fermi-Hubbard…
We nonperturbatively compute R\'enyi entropies for strip-shaped subregions in the three-dimensional O(4) model at finite density on the lattice. By using a dual variable representation and a tailored worm algorithm, we circumvent the sign…
Braiding statistics of $p$- and $q$-dimensional topological excitations is conventionally defined in $p+q+2$ spatial dimensions. We find a novel statistical process $W_N(X,Y)=(Y^{-1}X^{-1})^N(YX)^N$ for two order-$N$ excitations in $p+q+1$…
Spin-photon interfaces based on silicon quantum emitters offer a scalable platform for quantum computing and networking. However, achieving coherent photon emission remains a primary challenge due to stringent material quality requirements.…
Synthetic quantum matter provides a highly tunable route to fractional quantum Hall physics beyond the constraints of conventional electronic materials. However, previous theoretical studies have mostly focused on their ground state…
Similarly to Thomson, we consider the thermoelectric generator at open circuit as a classical heat engine. It is shown that, as long as the Thomson coefficient is nonzero, the operation generates entropy and is therefore irreversible. By…
Ferroelectric nematic liquid crystals (FNLCs) are polar fluids in which spontaneous polarization coexists with nematic orientational order, giving rise to unusual dielectric and electromechanical responses. However, the collective modes…
We study the $J/\psi \to \bar{\Lambda} \Lambda \pi^0$ reaction, an isospin violating reaction, by looking at the trios of baryon-antibaryon-pseudoscalar meson that conform a singlet of $\text{SU}(3)$ in the $u, d, s$ quarks. These terms…
Conventionally, the local spin magnetization in itinerant magnets is determined from the equilibrium local spin density. Here, we propose a thermodynamic approach in which the local spin magnetization is defined from the response of the…
The vertical structure of Jupiter's jet streams remains a critical open question for understanding the planet's atmospheric dynamics and interior. Traditional models often assume an adiabatic density profile, yet recent observations and…
Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) enable optical systems with dramatically increased performance, cost-effectiveness, and scalability through enhanced light-matter interactions, high-density integration, and mass production. Due to the…
In this work, we analyze the flux-integrated inclusive and pionless differential cross sections for neutrino scattering off argon. The cross sections are calculated using the relativistic distorted-wave impulse approximation (RDWIA), taking…
