The abundance of semiconductors in our smartphones, computers, fiber optic junctions, cars, light sources, photovoltaic and thermoelectric cells results from the possibilities of controlling their properties through doping, lighting, and…
A document has recently been posted on the arXiv [1], describing analytical formulas and results of particle tracking simulations, for precision tests of numerical integration algorithms for an EDM (electric dipole moment) storage ring. In…
We celebrate the legacies of our friend and mentor Professor Lianshou Liu who was one of the pioneers for the phenomenology of multi-particle interactions and initiated the physics of relativistic heavy-ion collisions in China. In this…
This paper introduces a new approach toward characterizing local structural features of two-dimensional particle systems. The approach can accurately identify and characterize defects in high-temperature crystals, distinguish a wide range…
Topological quantum computing promises error-resistant quantum computation without active error correction. However, there is a worry that during the process of executing quantum gates by braiding anyons around each other, extra anyonic…
This is English translation of Mikhail Lomonosov seminal work from its Russian original. It continues the series of English translations of most important scientific works included by Lomonosov in the convolute Opera Academica sent for…
Strongly correlated metals comprise an enduring puzzle at the heart of condensed matter physics. Commonly a highly renormalized heavy Fermi liquid occurs below a small coherence scale, while at higher temperatures a broad incoherent regime…
In celebration of the 2025 International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, this article highlights the pioneering achievements and ongoing innovations in quantum error correction and quantum error mitigation by Canadian institutions,…
This is an overview of some of the works of Avi Wigderson, 2021 Abel prize laureate. Wigderson's contributions span many fields of computer science and mathematics. In this survey we focus on four subfields: cryptography, pseudorandomness,…
Some selected Ostrowski type inequalities and a connection with numerical integration are studied in this survey paper, which is dedicated to the memory of Professor D.S. Mitrinovic, who left us 25 years ago. His significant influence to…
Professor M. C. Polivanov and I met only a few times, during my infrequent visits to the-then Soviet Union in the 1970's and 1980's. His hospitality at the Moscow Steclov Institute made the trips a pleasure, while the scientific environment…
Julian Schwinger's influence on twentieth century science is profound and pervasive. Of course, he is most famous for his renormalization theory of quantum electrodynamics, for which he shared the Nobel Prize with Richard Feynman and…
Thermal corrections, including relativistic effects, for the positronium atom are discussed. The theoretical description of thermal corrections is carried out within the framework of relativistic quantum electrodynamics. As a result,…

A memorial to Prof. Hidekuni Hidekoshi, Kyoto University, Japan - an accelerator pioneer in Japan, teacher, mentor, friend, unassuming but knowing his accomplishments and worth, frugal but generous, enjoying life. Japanese contributions…
Since the incident nuclei in heavy-ion collisions do not carry strangeness, the global net strangeness of the detected hadrons has to vanish. We investigate the impact of strangeness neutrality on the phase structure and thermodynamics of…
Kitaev's toric code is arguably the most studied quantum code and is expected to be implemented in future generations of quantum computers. The renormalisation decoders introduced by Duclos-Cianci and Poulin exhibit one of the best…
We present a computational framework for characterizing the molecular self-organization of cocoa butter (Theobroma cacao) during dark chocolate tempering through the lens of Topological Data Analysis (TDA). A physics-inspired particle…
For the first time, lead fluoride is used as a fast and compact material in electromagnetic calorimetry. Excellent optical and mechanical properties of the pure Cherenkov crystals are necessary for the A4 collaboration to perform a…
On March 11, 2013 I talked with Warren Wiscombe about his contributions to scientific computer programming, atmospheric science and radiative transfer. Our conversation is divided into three parts related to light scattering, radiative…
