We present measurements of CP-violation parameters in b -> s gamma transitions based on a sample of 386x10^6 BB pairs collected at the Y(4S) resonance with the Belle detector at the KEKB energy-asymmetric e+e- collider. One neutral B meson…
We estimate B(K -> pi nu nubar) in the context of the Standard Model by fitting for lambda_t = Vtd x V*ts of the `kaon unitarity triangle' relation. We fit data from epsilon_K, the CP-violating parameter describing K-mixing, and a_{psi K},…
We report the first lattice QCD calculation of the complex kaon decay amplitude $A_0$ with physical kinematics, using a $32^3\times 64$ lattice volume and a single lattice spacing $a$, with $1/a= 1.3784(68)$ GeV. We find Re$(A_0) =…
The measurement of the time-dependent CP-asymmetry of $B^0 \to K_S^0 \pi^+ \pi^- \gamma$ decays is sensitive to contributions from physics beyond the Standard Model. To translate this measurement into a constraint on new physics, it is…
We give the amplitude for $\gamma\gamma \rightarrow \pi^+\pi^-\pi^0$ in leading order chiral perturbation theory. For the case of real photons we calculate the total and differential cross section. Furthermore, we give the dependence of the…
The estimation of mutual information (MI) or conditional mutual information (CMI) from a set of samples is a long-standing problem. A recent line of work in this area has leveraged the approximation power of artificial neural networks and…
We study the $\mathit{CP}$ violation induced by the interference between two intermediate resonances $K^*(892)^+$ and $K^*(892)^-$ in the phase space of singly-Cabibbo-suppressed decay $D^0 \to K^+K^-\pi^0$. We adopt the…
Critical metrology relies on the precise preparation of a system in its ground state near a quantum phase transition point where quantum correlations get very strong. Typically this increases the quantum Fisher information with respect to…
We include the full second-order corrections to the static QCD potential in the analysis of the ttbar threshold cross section. There is an unexpectedly large difference between the QCD potential improved by the renormalization-group…
Perturbation theory is an important tool in the analysis of oscillators and their response to external stimuli. It is predicated on the assumption that the perturbations in question are "sufficiently weak", an assumption that is not always…
We use one-loop chiral perturbation theory (ChPT) to compare lattice results for the K+ to pi+ pi0 decay amplitude with the experimental value. Three systematic effects: quenching, finite-volume effects, and the use of unphysical values of…
We present theoretical results for the indirect CP violation parameter, $ |\varepsilon_K| $, evaluated directly within the Standard Model using lattice QCD inputs including $ B_K $, $ |V_{cb}| $, $ |V_{us}| $, $ |V_{ud}| $, $ \xi_0 $, $…
We give evidence of a clear structural signature of the glass transition, in terms of a static correlation length with the same dependence on the system size which is typical of critical phenomena. Our approach is to introduce an external,…
Variational perturbation theory is used to determine the decay rates of metastable states across a cubic barrier of arbitrary height. For high barriers, a variational resummation procedure is applied to the complex energy eigenvalues…
Chirikov's celebrated criterion of resonance overlap has been widely used in celestial mechanics and Hamiltonian dynamics to detect global instability, but is rarely rigourous. We introduce two simple Hamiltonian systems, each depending on…

In quantum/wave systems with chaotic classical analogs, wavefunctions evolve in highly complex, yet deterministic ways. A slight perturbation of the system, though, will cause the evolution to diverge from its original behavior increasingly…
