Molecular magneto-optical traps (MOTs) typically capture orders of magnitude fewer particles than their atomic counterparts due in part to their significantly lower capture velocities. Here, we employ a Stochastic Schr\"odinger Equation…
We propose and demonstrate a dynamical mirror compensation scheme to restore velocity immunity in a large-area dual-atom-interferometer gyroscope. In an ideal Mach-Zehnder configuration, the phase shift is inherently immune to atomic…
We present a comprehensive benchmarking dataset and empirical scaling law analysis for neural network wavefunctions by matching them to a wide spectrum of famous many body target wavefunctions. The dataset, WF-Bench, spans multiple distinct…
We report laser-induced-fluorescence spectroscopy of the \({}^{1}S_{0}\rightarrow{}^{3}P_{1}\) intercombination transition in neutral zinc at \(307.6~\mathrm{nm}\). Isotope shifts are measured for all stable isotopes with kHz-level…
Ethanol is conventionally perceived only as a pungent tastant, while the potential sweet properties of ethanol clusters have remained unrecognized. Here we show that ethanol tetramers exhibit a unique time dependent lingering sweetness,…
Standing light waves structure the electronic density of a Rydberg atom in a rich but surprisingly systematic fashion. We uncover these systematics, which are nearly universal across a large range of principal quantum numbers n, by varying…
Optical cycling refers to repeated excitation and spontaneous emission on an electronic transition in an atom or molecule. Optical cycling in molecules can enable a wide range of quantum control and readout techniques, but unfortunately it…
We present MARUT, a scalable multi-GPU computational fluid dynamics (CFD) framework designed for high-fidelity simulations of compressible flows spanning subsonic to hypersonic regimes, including chemically reacting nonequilibrium flows…
Forbidden atomic transitions provide some of the most stringent low-energy tests of physics beyond the Standard Model, with sensitivity set by the interplay between the sought-for signals and systematics suppressed by symmetry. Here we…
The well-known graphical representation called the Lu-Fano plot was originally developed for multi-channel Rydberg spectroscopy, especially in quantum defect theory. The present study shows some of the limitations of this traditional…
This paper presents a deep learning strategy to simultaneously solve Partial Differential Equations (PDEs) and back-calculate their parameters in the context of deep tunnel excavation. A Physics-Informed Neural Network (PINN) model is…
The GW plus Bethe-Salpeter equation (GW-BSE) formalism is a well-established approach for calculating excitation energies and optical spectra of molecules, nanostructures, and crystalline materials. We implement GW-BSE in the CP2K code and…
Given the urgency to reduce fossil fuel energy production to make climate tipping points less likely, we call for resource-aware knowledge gain in the research areas on Universe and Matter with emphasis on the digital transformation. A…
We introduce an evidence-driven Bayesian formulation of physics-informed neural networks that enables automatic optimization of loss weights between PDE residuals, boundary conditions, and observational data. Unlike existing Bayesian PINN…
We investigate the fragmentation dynamics of methane dication (CH$_4^{2+}$) produced in collisions with 50-MeV C$^{6+}$ ions using the COLTRIMS technique. The method provides complete three-dimensional momentum vectors of the charged…
High-temperature superconducting (HTS) coated conductors (CCs) can be wound into no-insulation (NI) coils, in which electrical current can partially bypass local normal zones via turn-to-turn contact layers (T2TCLs). Accurate…
The optimization of energy group structures is integral to ensure the accuracy of multigroup neutron transport calculations. This works introduces the use of reinforcement learning (RL) with surrogate modeling to optimize the group…
Strong-field enhanced ionization (EI) is a phenomenon in which stretching of interatomic bonds into a distorted molecular geometry leads to an increase in the tunneling ionization rate driven by a strong field. Isolating the momentum…
We present a theoretical description of atomic strong-field photoionization. Specifically, we consider an atom driven by a combination of two electromagnetic fields: a high-frequency field assisted by an intense, low-frequency laser. We…
The natural electromagnetic modes spontaneously emitted by an atom in free space are spherical vector waves (SVWs). Each SVW mode is uniquely linked to a specific dynamical--spherical--multipole--moment of the atomic system. In this work,…
