Evolution of the hot spot plasma conditions was measured using high-resolution x-ray spectroscopy at the National Ignition Facility (NIF). The capsules were filled with DD gas with trace levels of Kr, and had either a high-density-carbon…
Quantum techniques, developed in recent decades, provide new approaches to achieving high-precision measurements beyond the classical bounds. In this paper, we theoretically demonstrate a metrology method for improving the sensitivity of…
The equivalence between the axion invariant and the $S_4$ symmetry indicator is established for three-dimensional $S_4$-symmetric axion insulators with vanishing three-dimensional Chern numbers. Starting from the Chern-Simons expression for…
Building on the framework developed by Perche [Phys. Rev. D 106, 025018 (2022)], we study two localized nonrelativistic quantum particles propagating along timelike geodesics in a curved spacetime background. Each particle is coupled to a…
We investigate the collective dynamics of a bundle of charged particles undergoing cyclotron motion in a uniform magnetic field when subjected to a short-duration electric pulse. Using the geometric framework based on the evolution of…
Animals navigating complex vertical environments must secure stable footholds, a challenge for species without feet. While arboreal climbing has evolved repeatedly in snakes, the physical mechanisms they use to scale broad, nearly flat…
Rapidly scaling autonomous science is limited not only by algorithms, compute or data volume, but by which physical records a platform exposes before action. We formulate physically accessible decision-making (PADM) and a measurement-access…
We extend the persistent homology analysis of~\paperone{} to the full Roman--Byzantine trade network (0--1453\,\textsc{ce}), using 2{,}599 nodes and 4{,}503 trimodal edges calibrated against the \textsc{orbis} Geospatial Network Model. Five…
Efficient concentration and transport of electromagnetic energy through electromagnetically thick structures often requires resonant phenomenon and careful design considerations. Here, we introduce a realistic non-resonant approach based on…
We extend recent work on the relation between classical surface theory and partial differential equations, focusing on equations of pseudo-spherical type in the sense of Chern--Tenenblat and on a non-trivial generalization motivated by the…
Despite riddles, mysteries, and enigmas the theory of elementary particles has not changed for 50 years. We argue that the current paradigm -- Wilsonian quantum field theory -- is inadequate for resolving the puzzles, and should be replaced…
In the USA, periodontal diseases, a spectrum of inflammatory conditions, affect 4 out of 10 adults (>=30 years). Current standards of care in clinical assessment of these diseases are invasive, subjective, only semi-quantitative, and…
Three groups of 32 ultrahigh-entropy compositionally complex ceramics (CCCs) containing 16-19 components were synthesized and characterized. The first group of 15 CCCs forms single ultrahigh-entropy fluorite or pyrochlore phases in 12…
We investigate the thermodynamic microstructure, quasinormal mode spectrum, and greybody factors of the exact, static, spherically symmetric black hole in Einstein-Skyrme theory, building on the recently established first law that promotes…
More than 80 years ago Kramers published a paper calculating how fast a Brownian particle escapes from a potential well over an activation barrier. Since then Kramers' model has been widely adopted by nuclear physics, biophysics and…
In this work, we investigate the relationship between quantum coherence and multiparameter quantum estimation in a graphene-based system. We focus on the estimation of two relevant physical parameters, namely the temperature $T$ and the…
Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), best known for positioning, also serve weather science, as atmospheric water vapour delays their signals. This delay, the Zenith Wet Delay (ZWD), is a direct, all-weather measure of column…
The integration kernels for polylogarithm functions on a compact Riemann surface of arbitrary genus $h$ are shown to close as the surface undergoes a non-separating degeneration to one of genus $h{-}1$. Explicit formulas are obtained for…
For low-mass stars (M < 1.4 Msun), the connection between stellar rotation and magnetic activity governs stellar spin-down, shapes the environments of their exoplanets, and provides an age-diagnostic via magneto-gyro-chronology. Recently,…
Blind quantum computing (BQC) allows a client to delegate quantum computations to a remote server without revealing the input, computation, or output. In addition to being blind, the client can sometimes also verify that the server has…
