Natural supersymmetry (SUSY) models remain viable even in the face of LHC Run 2 sparticle search limits. However, the LZ experiment has placed strong limits on light higgsino dark matter even when the higgsinos carry only their…
Shell structure in finite quantum systems gives rise to sudden changes in observable properties, while pairing correlations often compete against such discontinuities. The region near the doubly magic nucleus $^{132}$Sn provides a fertile…
The temporal Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) inequality witnesses the nonclassicality of temporal correlations, but its violation is generally degraded by environmental noise. Here, we show that violation of the temporal CHSH inequality…
As quantum networks move toward practical deployment, standardized performance monitoring becomes essential. This article proposes a structured monitoring framework for quantum networks with performance metrics, including quality (e.g.,…
We present the first complete analysis of nonlinear causality and local well-posedness for a very general class of bulk and shear viscous theories of relativistic transient fluid dynamics, which encompasses (i) the original Israel-Stewart…
We consider random sequential adsorption (RSA) of aligned squares and derive the low-coverage expansion of the availability function alpha(q), the fraction of positions accessible to an additional square, up to fourth order in the coverage…
In this work we design a multi-layer model of composite contact lens drug release. Such lenses have been designed by encapsulating drug-polymer films in contact lens hydrogels. Composite lenses can promote sustained discharge of drug and…
Manipulating coexisting multi-space topological states within a single material is a critical frontier for low-power spintronic applications, for which perpendicular electric-field gating offers a highly precise tuning mechanism. Using…
The detection and characterization of organic molecules within water ice is vital for interpreting observations of icy moons and comets. However, organic-ice interactions often distort intrinsic water-ice absorption features, complicating…
We present a unified, memory-bounded GPU realization of equation-of-motion coupled-cluster (EOM-CC) excited-state gradients and interstate nonadiabatic couplings (NACMEs) on a single 8\,GB consumer GPU. Both are built from one contraction…
We show that the teleportation-based quantum state tomography (QST) protocol, originally built to reconstruct qubits (spin-1/2 systems), can be extended to deal with qutrits (spin-1 systems) as well. Similarly to the original proposal, only…
We investigate the Hilbert--Schmidt speed (HSS), a geometric indicator defined through the Hilbert--Schmidt norm of the tangent vector to a parametrized family of quantum states, under general open-system dynamics. Working in the framework…
For many synchrotrons which cross $\gamma_t$ transition, a high intensity threshold has been identified beyond which significant beam losses are observed. These losses are due to a high-intensity mode coupling instability, which can be…
Accumulative polarization switching driven by sequential sub-coercive electric-field pulses offers a promising route toward low-power ferroelectric memories and neuromorphic devices. However, the kinetic regimes governing this…
We investigate the influence of Co intercalation and altermagnetic order on the lattice dynamics of the layered compound Co$_{1/4}$NbSe$_2$. Polarization-resolved Raman spectroscopy, supported by density-functional theory, enables…
Random fractal lattices provide a geometrically disordered setting in which quantum correlations can be shaped by noninteger dimensionality rather than onsite randomness. We investigate the entanglement properties of noninteracting fermions…
Collective actions emerge through the interplay between social influence and awareness. We introduce a nonlinear opinion-dynamics framework on networks in which social influence, shaped by individual interactions and community structure,…
Recent cosmic ray space-based and balloon-borne experiments have revealed various spectral features. Spectral hardening around ~200 GV has been seen in primary nuclei as well as secondaries produced during propagation. Proton spectrum…
We investigate the origin and distribution of antiperiodicity -- oscillations satisfying $x(t+T)=-x(t)$ -- in the periodically driven Duffing--Holmes oscillator, combining analytical arguments with extensive numerical exploration. We first…
In MOS Low-Resolution mode, WST has a 'spectral etendue' per fiber (etendue x spectral resolution elements) twice as large as any existing MOS instrument, and a total spectral etendue ~20 times larger. Combined, these present enormous…
