The task of quantum state discrimination provides an operational characterization of distinguishability and plays a central role in quantum information science. Since the achievable success probability in quantum state discrimination…
A stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background sources a shear in the flow of cosmic fluid which, through non-linear mode coupling, generates large-scale white noise (LSWN) in the kurvature density field. Building on the LSWN framework of…
Within the semi-classical regime of AdS/CFT correspondence, we consider the limit where the bulk dynamical field is linearized metric perturbations satisfying linearized Einstein equations over background pure AdS spacetime. AdS/CFT…
The nature and origin of magnetic fields on cosmological scales are still unclear. Magnetic fields detected in galaxies and galaxy clusters are typically interpreted as the result of the amplification of weak seed fields, but their nature…
Parity is a central characteristic of momentum-dependent spin splitting in antiferromagnets (AFMs). Yet, intrinsic crystal symmetries typically restrict the splitting to either even or odd parity, preventing flexible spin control. Using a…
We present next-to-next-to-leading order (NNLO) QCD predictions for Higgs boson pair production in association with a weak gauge boson, $pp \to Vhh$ with $V=W^\pm,Z$, in effective field theory descriptions of new physics. We consider both…
Compact double neutron star (DNS) systems are unique laboratories for testing gravitational theories and studying DNS mergers. Here we report the properties of a new DNS system, PSR J1856--0039, discovered in the Five-hundred-meter Aperture…
iLocater is a high-resolution near-infrared extreme precision radial velocity (EPRV) spectrograph that was deployed to the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) in June 2026. iLocater operates over $\lambda=966-1312$ nm with a median resolving…
Realizing altermagnetism in high-$T_c$ cuprate-based systems would provide a direct route for studying spin-split electronic bands in the absence of net magnetization and investigate their interplay with unconventional superconductivity.…
iLocater is a new near-infrared, extreme precision radial velocity (EPRV) instrument delivered to the Large Binocular Telescope in the summer of 2026. The instrument utilizes single-mode fibers (SMFs) for light transmission, including its…
Quasars are luminous objects that provide insights into the physics and evolution of supermassive black holes (SMBHs) and their accretion flows, galaxy evolution, and even cosmology. In this study, we present an exploratory study based on…
We present PANTERA (Project for Astrophysical Nucleosynthesis and Targeted Exploration of metal-Rich Abundances), a high-resolution spectroscopic survey of the most metal-rich stars in the solar neighborhood. In this first paper, we report…
We consider three families of semiclassical string solutions on AdS$_5\times S^5/\mathbb{Z}_L$ orbifold backgrounds which correspond to `twisted' single-trace operators in the SU$(2)$, SU$(3)$ and SL$(2)$ sectors, respectively, of the dual…
Dwarf galaxies provide excellent targets to search for signals of dark matter annihilation or decay. Using a calibrated semi-analytic model and the latest stellar kinematic data (presented in Part I), this paper updates the astrophysical…
We study perturbative reheating in which the inflaton transfers its energy to the Standard Model through right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) responsible for light-neutrino masses via the type-I seesaw mechanism. We refer to the resulting…
We constructed the Tiny Gaia-ESO + GALEX (T-GEX) catalogue by combining Gaia-ESO spectroscopy, Gaia DR3 astrometry, GALEX UV photometry, and 2MASS and AllWISE infrared measurements for 37 stars. Astrometric and spectroscopic quality cuts…
In measurements of four-top-quark production ($tttt$), LHC collaborations observe a significant degeneracy with three-top-quark production. We compute the dominant three-top-production mode, namely associated production with a $W$ boson…
We apply the framework of Soft Collinear Effective Theory (SCET) to the theory of the geometric scalar field. The resulting ``geoSCET'' manifests an emergent geometry in the soft sector, mirroring the emergent soft gauge invariance of QCD…
A Thouless pump describes a system in which a quantized amount of charge is transported by one lattice spacing per cycle when the parameters of a Hamiltonian are varied slowly and periodically. In the standard case, this quantization…
Field-level inference of cosmological initial conditions from galaxy surveys requires a forward model that is simultaneously accurate in the non-linear regime, computationally efficient, and fully differentiable. Traditional N-body…
