Quantum matter emerges from the interplay of fluctuations, topology, and entanglement, which - in equilibrium - governs quantized transport, universal criticality, and topological classification. Non-Hermitian systems, widely explored in…
Radio emission during X-ray binary outbursts is dominated by synchrotron radiation from relativistic jets, but is usually studied through total-intensity diagnostics such as flux density, spectra, variability, and proper motion. Radio…
In variational Monte Carlo (VMC) calculations of $N$-site quantum systems with arbitrary all-to-all two-body interactions, evaluating the local energy generally costs $O(N^3)$. We introduce a new framework that reduces this cost to $O(N)$…
We study a Brownian particle in a harmonic trap whose stiffness switches between two values with arbitrary waiting-time statistics, generating semi-Markovian dynamics. To treat the resulting temporal memory, we formulate the problem in an…
Metal-semiconductor junctions in optoelectronic devices are commonly engineered to promote charge separation. In Pt/TiO2 Schottky junctions, Pt is typically regarded as a catalytic electron sink rather than a visible-light-active component.…
Ising machines are heuristic solvers for combinatorial optimization, but their solution quality can degrade when large-scale constrained problems are solved directly. Ising-machine-assisted large neighborhood search (LNS) instead repeatedly…
Trace estimation is central in many lattice QCD computations, but the accuracy of the standard, stochastic Hutchinson method improves only with the square root of the sample size, making precise results expensive. We investigate two…
(Abridged) The turbulent cascade naturally generates a hierarchy of filaments within molecular clouds, with fibers suggested to be the first (tran-)sonic components formed out of it. We aim to investigate the diffuse gas kinematics and its…
Phase-separated liquid droplets organize molecules in cells, but the underlying physical principles differ from abiotic mixing and quantitative rules in living systems remain poorly understood. The pyrenoid -- a liquid-like organelle that…
We propose a numerical algorithm to construct a Markov model with an extended list of variables to parameterize the equation of motion of a multidimensional coarse-grained physical system in an external potential, when memory effects are…
A search for nonresonant triple Higgs boson (HHH) production in the final state with six bottom quarks is performed using proton-proton collisions at $\sqrt{s}$ = 13 TeV corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 138 fb$^{-1}$ recorded by…
Like the Gell-Mann--Low coupling $\alpha$ of QED, the effective charge $\alpha_{g_1}$ is a physical, observable-defined running coupling that can serve as the QCD coupling $\alpha_s$. It can be represented by an analytic form consistent…
We extend the coadjoint orbit approach to bosonization systematized by Delacretaz-Du-Mehta-Son to double-scaled non-relativistic Fermi liquids with central inverted harmonic oscillator potential. In 1+1d, this reproduces the Das-Jevicki…
Standard Pancharatnam-Berry and linear-birefringent media convert optical spin into orbital angular momentum (OAM) through an anisotropy \emph{director}, a rank-two, headless field, and therefore obey the selection rule $\Delta\ell=2q$ per…
Two-stage exams have been used in physics classrooms, yet no empirical study has examined the effect of individual member performances on team performance. Using direct measures of individual and team performances in two-stage physics…
SoPlasmaFoam is an open-source, multi-region plasma-dielectric solver built on OpenFOAM, integrated with the PETSc linear-algebra suite (CPU and GPU back-ends), the blastAMR adaptive-mesh-refinement library (hexahedral and polyhedral…
We establish a rigorous geometric correspondence between thermal partition functions of discrete-spectrum quantum systems with bounded ground energy and the Chern character of "virtual physical sheaf" over spacetime. By interpreting…
Fully developed isotropic turbulence exhibits a dual nature: a continuous, scale-invariant energy cascade coexists with discrete, intense vortex filaments. We show that this duality arises from a spontaneously broken SO(3) gauge symmetry.…
We complete the phase diagram of the macroscopic Curie-Weiss magnet in a time-periodic external field, as a function of temperature and driving parameters. There is a regime (large enough driving amplitude and frequency, at low…
Two-photon fluorescence imaging achieves deep-tissue penetration through long excitation wavelengths and nonlinear excitation confinement. The 1700 nm transparency window is particularly attractive, as it optimally balances tissue…
