Mixing, and coherence are fundamental issues at the heart of understanding transport in fluid dynamics and other non-autonomous dynamical systems. Recently, the notion of coherence has come to a more rigorous footing, and particularly…

Existing rectified flow models are based on linear trajectories between data and noise distributions. This linearity enforces zero curvature, which can inadvertently force the image generation process through low-probability regions of the…

Jupiter's atmosphere features a variety of clouds that are formed from the interplay of chemistry and atmospheric dynamics, from the deep red color of the Great Red Spot to the high altitude white ammonia clouds present in the zones (bright…
