Search-based regression-test generation effectively explores complex program structures, yielding high structural coverage, but its oracles are derived from the system under test: faults already present are recorded as expected behavior…
We perform experiments on QuEra's neutral-Rydberg-atom Aquila quantum computer, using quasi-adiabatic evolution on 1-dimensional models. We use hardware fine-tuning to balance the measurement statistics close to zero net magnetization, in…
Cross-modal knowledge distillation can transfer diagnostic knowledge from a strong but costly teacher modality to a cheaper and more deployable student modality. In medical image analysis, however, the two modalities are often unpaired:…
iLocater is a diffraction-limited, fiber-fed spectrograph designed for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT), which targets high-precision radial velocity measurements in the near-infrared. Prior to deployment, comprehensive laboratory…
We demonstrate that circularly polarized light can be used to Floquet-engineer nearly flat or Mexican-hat like electronic bands on the surface of three-dimensional topological insulators (3D TIs), which under suitable conditions, can…
Personal AI assistants are increasingly deployed as task-oriented, tool-augmented agents that operate within unified service environments to support everyday user activities. In realistic settings, such assistants must reason over…
Agentic retrieval-augmented generation systems can produce answers that appear grounded while failing at the evidence, tool-contract, authorization, or session-state layer. We introduce LayerRAG-Bench, a controlled cross-layer reliability…
Transiting brown dwarfs provide a direct empirical test of substellar evolutionary models, and with more than 50 now known we can carry out this test at the population level. We compared the observed masses and radii of 31 field-age, weakly…
In generally covariant theories evolution in coordinate time is a gauge transformation, so that a symmetry made manifest in a gauge-fixed description need not be a symmetry of the physical dynamics. Deparametrisation, in turn, removes gauge…
Sybil bots are Ethereum actors that imitate legitimate users to extract airdrop rewards or influence governance. Recent Sybil detection methods increasingly use deep learning and treat blockchain activity as a quasi-linguistic sequence.…
In this paper, we introduce a meshless physics-informed neural network based computational framework for solving two-dimensional electromagnetic wave scattering in inhomogeneous media. The framework embeds frequency-domain Maxwell equations…
Live2D is the dominant 2D character-animation format for anime characters and virtual avatars, representing each character as a stack of RGBA layers driven by per-layer mesh deformation. Despite its wide use in virtual streaming, mobile…
Achieving high-angular-resolution imaging on subarcsecond scales is fundamentally limited by wavefront aberrations imparted by the propagation medium and by optical elements along the light path. Accurate recovery of source structure at…
Solar axion-like particles (ALPs) can be resonantly produced through the conversion of transverse plasmons in the magnetic field of the solar interior, introducing a production mechanism complementary to the conventional Primakoff process.…
We revisit the well-known nonlinear sigma model (NLSM), an effective field theory describing the scattering of $\mathrm{SU}(N)$ Goldstone bosons and characterized by an infinite tower of two-derivative interactions. We introduce a local…
We study inflation in the setting of unimodular loop quantum cosmology, where time evolution is defined in unimodular time rather than with respect to a free, massless scalar field as is standard in loop quantum cosmology. The unimodular…
Perturbation theory is an essential tool to model and interpret gravitational dynamics, for example, binary black hole mergers. Therefore it is also crucial to precisely understand its regimes of validity. The collapse of a scalar field…
Quantum metrology promises a quadratic speedup over the standard quantum limit (SQL), but signal-aligned noise is expected to preclude this advantage in realistic settings. A potential route around known no-go results is to encode the…
Irreversibility has a fundamental thermodynamic cost, erasing information inevitably generates heat. This connection is quantified by the Landauer bound, which gives the minimum dissipation needed to erase a single bit of information. While…
We revisit the metal-insulator transition in a one-dimensional lattice subjected to an on-site quasiperiodic potential, modeled using spin-1/2 particles with tunable nearest-neighbor interactions. To characterize the transition, we examine…
