In recent years, quantum computing has gained strong traction on the global stage. Pioneering developments in quantum engineering, algorithms and software reinforce the view that quantum computation will eventually catalyze transformative…
Capabilities of frontier models are often assessed using agentic benchmarks. To trust these results, benchmarks must accurately measure what they claim to and be free from invalidating flaws. Previous manual audits of benchmarks such as…
The structural and ferroelectric properties of epitaxial Hf1-xCexO2 (CHO) thin films in the ultrathin regime are investigated as a function of Ce concentration (5% <= x <= 20%) and temperature. A temperature-doping phase diagram is…
Elasticity often plays a key role in regulating phase separation in physical systems. Recent experiments have shown that elastic effects can be used to control microphase separation in swollen elastomers. Here, microphase separation arises…
We present an analytical study of minimal mass-varying dark matter models, in which a single scalar field controls the dark matter mass, focusing on their utility in simultaneously addressing multiple cosmological tensions. We show that…
In this paper, we study the sample complexity of the empirical plug-in estimator for the $2$-Gromov-Wasserstein distance $D_2$ between compactly supported probability measures on Euclidean spaces. Let $\mu$ and $\nu$ be supported on compact…
There are three paradoxes in the modern Colloid and Interface Science supported by large bulk of experimental evidence and contradicting classical theoretical models: - Electrokinetics at high ionic strength; - Nanobubbles having life span…
Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed in multi-agent environments. However, the processes by which beliefs form and propagate among interacting LLMs remain poorly understood. We introduce CoevolveSim, a framework for…
Imitation learning has shown increasing promise for autonomous robotic surgery, yet safe deployment remains challenging due to the safety-critical nature of surgical tasks and the complexity and variability of surgical environments. Failure…
End-to-end encrypted (E2EE) messaging apps are widely praised for their security and thus also used for sensitive coordination in group chats (e.g., by political decision makers). After Threema and WhatsApp, also Signal and iMessage have…
Quantum Interference Proposal Search (QIPS) uses seed-conditioned quantum circuits to generate localized interference patterns as finite-shot proposal distributions for QUBO/Ising optimization. Candidate $n_b$-bit strings are sampled from…
Assistance games formalize human-robot collaboration under asymmetric information: the human knows the goal, while the robot must infer it from observation and interaction in order to assist effectively. In general, computing optimal…
Matrix factorisation is a fundamental tool for exploiting low-dimensional structure in high-dimensional data, with applications such as data compression, denoising, structure discovery, interpretable representation learning, and…
Language and embedding models used in RAG systems are conventionally assumed to require large-scale pretraining and explicit grounding supervision. We present B1ade, an efficient RAG architecture comprising two purpose-built components: a…
We develop a finite-sample valid inference procedure for strategic network formation models in which linking decisions depend on endogenous network statistics (say, the number of common friends). Only a single network is required to be…
Let $$ A_q(z)=\sum_{k=0}^{\infty}\frac{q^{k^2}}{(q;q)_k}(-z)^k $$ be Ramanujan's entire function. We study it in the turning-point scaling $$ q=e^{-\varepsilon},\qquad z=\frac{\sqrt q}{4}e^{-\varepsilon^{2/3}\zeta}, $$ with $\zeta$ in a…
Let $\chi$ be a primitive odd Dirichlet character of conductor $f$. For the universal projector polynomials $P_m$ introduced in arXiv:2607.23177, defined by $\sum_m P_m(X)Y^m = -\log(1-X(1-e^{-Y}))$, we evaluate the character Fourier…
The Kondo singlet---a many-body state formed by entanglement between a localized spin and the Fermi sea---has been studied extensively through its transport signatures in quantum dots. Here we report a thermodynamic measurement of the…
We present a lightweight approach to foundation modeling (\textbf{NEXUS}) that leverages pre-trained learning from collider physics data towards out-of-domain tasks in other scientific datasets, using a fully connected autoencoder model…
The purpose of this paper is to show that, under mild inductive assumptions, if a group $G$ contains a component that is a simple group of Lie type in characteristic $p$ and $O_p(G) = 1$, then the Quillen poset of $G$ at $p$ has nonzero…
