To address the need for time-frequency analysis (TFA) of broadband microwave signals and to overcome the reliance of existing schemes on large-bandwidth swept microwave sources, we propose a broadband microwave signal TFA approach based on…
A resource theory of quantum measurement can be addressed in terms of quantum coherence and measurement sharpness, respectively. The former analyzes the off-diagonal structure of POVM elements in a predetermined basis while the latter…
Soccer is widely popular for its simple rules and complex yet coordinated play that unfolds on the pitch. Nevertheless, the fundamental mechanisms governing such play are not well understood: what shapes player interactions on the pitch?…
We introduce the notion of a well-conditioned embedding of a causal set into a Lorentzian manifold and prove that if a causal set admits well-conditioned embeddings into two manifolds, then their interiors are related by an…
This article describes the deployment of a germanium detector at Oak Ridge National Lab's High Flux Isotope Reactor (HFIR) for the purpose of understanding the energy and spatial distribution of the gamma field in the experiment hall where…
Motor-driven intracellular transport is often described in terms of motor activity, but macroscopic transport also depends on how effectively motor-generated force is converted into coherent motion. Motivated by cytoplasmic streaming, a…
High-throughput holotomography often relies on long-working-distance, multiwell-compatible optics that reduce illumination numerical aperture (NA) and limit access to high spatial frequencies. Here we present ResShift-ODE, a deterministic…
Large-scale circular gap closure occurs over a time scale on which cell growth and proliferation become important. Growth is the main driver of the closing process, while cell dynamics such as elongation and intercalation reflect elastic…
Real-time decoding is a major bottleneck in scaling quantum error correction (QEC) from noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices to fault-tolerant quantum computing. We present an adaptive confidence-gated decoding framework for the…
Artificial spin ice (ASI), composed of geometrically frustrated arrays of interacting nanoislands, provides a versatile platform for reprogrammable magnonic functionality. However, the commonly used geometric control parameters such as…
We propose a Coulomb-like parameterization in terms of bag radius of the short-range chromo-electric interaction between heavy quarks and strange quarks within the framework of the MIT bag model for hadrons including multiquark systems and…
In this work, we investigate the emergence of dipole ghost structures in gauge theories at both the classical and quantum levels. Traditionally, dipole ghosts are introduced through an auxiliary field $\chi$ satisfying $\Box^2\chi=0$, whose…
We introduce population-transfer dynamics as a practical validation observable for active-space-derived reduced Hamiltonians in multistate reaction-center chemistry. Using a cytochrome P450-inspired Fe-complex model, we construct a…
We present the first reconstruction of the cosmic microwave background (CMB) lensing potential from the SPT-3G Summer survey using two years of temperature data. The Summer survey has a total area of approximately 2640 deg$^2$, split into…
Fast single-qubit gates on weakly anharmonic transmons are limited by leakage to noncomputational states, and standard mitigations such as DRAG (derivative removal by adiabatic gate) act on the leakage amplitude at the end of the gate. We…
Using unprecedentedly long 2D particle-in-cell simulations, we study electron and ion acceleration in weakly magnetized quasi-parallel shocks, propagating at velocities ranging from transrelativistic to subrelativistic. At a fixed upstream…
The DMRadio-50L experiment is designed to search for axion dark matter in the 5 kHz - 5 MHz frequency range using a lumped-element LC resonator and a toroidal magnet and to serve as a testbed for quantum sensors. This paper describes the…
A high resolution, Diagnostic Instrument Manipulator (DIM)-based x-ray Bragg crystal spectrometer has been calibrated for and deployed at the National Ignition Facility (NIF) to diagnose plasma conditions in ignition capsules near…
Chiral quantum emitters interact with light only in one propagation direction, allowing them to be linked into cascaded systems in which photons mediate ordered, long-range interactions. Such systems are predicted to host novel regimes of…
Automated experimentation is moving from closed-loop optimization toward open decision-making, where human or AI planners must forecast the consequences of candidate actions before executing them. Such forecasts require a model of both…
