Hollow-core fibers have demonstrated record performance in applications such as high-power pulse delivery, quantum computing, and sensing. However, their routine use is yet to become reality. A major obstacle is the ability to maintain the…
We review the experimental status of Bs mixing. After a brief historical overview, current studies of the time dependence of Bs oscillations are described, with an emphasis on the different experimental techniques used by the ALEPH, CDF,…
The recent detection of linear polarization from GRB120206 has piqued the interest of the community in this relatively unexplored avenue of research. Here, we review the current status and prospects for GRB polarimetry at hard X-ray and…
This is a brief review of recent theoretical efforts to understand persistence in nonequilibrium systems. Some of the recent experimental results are also briefly mentioned. I also discuss recent generalizations of persistence in various…
We study the recently proposed "stationary measure" in the context of the string landscape scenario. We show that it suffers neither from the "Boltzmann brain" problem nor from the "youngness" paradox that makes some other measures predict…
We theoretically investigate a new kind of nonlinear magnetoresistance on the surface of three-dimensional topological insulators (TIs). At variance with the unidirectional magnetoresistance (UMR) effect in magnetic bilayers, this nonlinear…
In a complete metric space that is equipped with a doubling measure and supports a Poincar\'e inequality, we show that functions of bounded variation (BV functions) can be approximated in the strict sense and pointwise uniformly by special…
Applications of inertial measurement units are extremely diverse, and are expected to see a further increase in number due to current trends in robotics as well as recent advances in Micro Electromechanical sensors (MEMS). The traditional…
We calculate the emission spectrum for vacuum Cerenkov radiation in Lorentz-violating extensions of electrodynamics. We develop an approach that works equally well if the presence or the absence of birefringence. In addition to confirming…
I recently proposed the "reheating-volume" (RV) prescription as a possible solution to the measure problem in "multiverse" cosmology. The goal of this work is to extend the RV measure to scenarios involving bubble nucleation, such as the…
The BABAR experiment participates to the global endeavor for a precise prediction of the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon by evaluating the contribution of hadronic processes to the vacuum polarization. After its last result published…
The B-mode Foreground Experiment (BFORE) is a proposed NASA balloon project designed to make optimal use of the sub-orbital platform by concentrating on three dust foreground bands (270, 350, and 600 GHz) that complement ground-based cosmic…
Quantum mechanics predicts that the equilibrium state of a resistive electrical circuit contains a dissipationless current. This persistent current has been the focus of considerable theoretical and experimental work, but its basic…
Binary-outcome measurements allow to determine whether a multi-level quantum system is in a certain state while preserving quantum coherence between all orthogonal states. In this paper, we explore different regimes of the dispersive…
The European Union funded project MICEV aims at improving the traceability of electrical and magnetic measurement at charging stations and to better assess the safety of this technology with respect to human exposure. The paper describes…
We explore the cosmic birefringence signal produced by an ultralight axion field with a small CP-violating coupling to bulk SM matter in addition to the usual CP-preserving photon coupling. The change in the vacuum expectation value of the…

The phenomenon of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) is still being exploited for determining the magnetocrystalline anisotropy constants of magnetic materials. We show that one can also determine accurately the saturation magnetization of the…
A great deal of experimental effort is currently being devoted to the precise measurements of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) sky in temperature and polarisation. Satellites, balloon-borne, and ground-based experiments scrutinize the…
Nodland and Ralston (astro-ph/9704196) claim evidence for a wavelength-independent cosmic birefringence. Although it has been shown (astro-ph/9704247, astro-ph/9704263) that the data analysed did not support this conclusion, the possibility…
