The scotogeneic neutrino mass models are very popular choices to generate light neutrino masses via radiative mechanism. In these models, the particles running in the loop are distinguished from the standard model due to an imposed $\mathcal{Z}_2$ symmetry under which the loop particles are odd. Therefore, the lightest particle...
Formal modelling provides a toolkit for understanding cultural dynamics, from individual decisions to recurring patterns of change. This chapter explains what models are and why they matter. Using a precise, shared language, they aid thinking and communication by turning fuzzy assumptions into clear, comparable, testable claims. The...
This work provides an alternative derivation of third order response functions in four wave mixing spectroscopy of multichromophoric macromolecular systems considering only single exciton states. For the case of harmonic oscillator bath linearly and diagonally coupled to exciton states, closed form expressions showing all the explicit...
Precise gravitational measurements are vital for geophysics and inertial navigation, but compact gravimeters with high measurement bandwidth remain difficult to realize. We propose and analyze a chip-scale superconducting gravimeter in which a flux-tunable transmon qubit is coupled to a high quality factor ($Q_m$) nanomechanical beam....
We investigate far-field radiation of energy, linear momentum, and angular momentum from two-dimensional electron systems, focusing on metallic thin films described by the Drude conductivity. Using the Keldysh formalism within the non-equilibrium Green's function framework, we derive analytical expressions for radiative power, force,...
We study three-dimensional Einstein gravity with negative cosmological constant on non-compact spatial boundaries within the Chern-Simons formulation. Using an exact fluid/gravity correspondence, we derive a closed radial flow equation for the quasi-local stress tensor and show that it realizes the holographic $T\bar T$ deformation at...
Microscopic disorder in a coherent conductor is encoded in the magnitude of the transmitted current and in the energy- and channel-resolved structure of the scattering response. We develop a conductance-balanced learning framework for identifying microscopic disorder mechanisms from coherent quantum-transport spectra. Using armchair...
The Dirac or Majorana nature of neutrinos remains one of the most fundamental open problems in particle physics. A natural intermediate scenario arises when small lepton-number-violating Majorana mass terms break the exact Dirac symmetry. These cause mass eigenstates to form nearly degenerate pairs, each separated by a small mass...
Chiral molecular structure can couple to electron spin, leading to unexpected spin polarization effects. This Chirality-Induced Spin Selectivity (CISS) was first reported for DNA molecules adsorbed on gold but its microscopic origin remains unclear. We demonstrated though simulation that the exchange arising from electron-electron...
We present radiative-convective modeling of rocky exoplanets with $He$-dominated atmospheres and low envelope mass fractions. Helium has a steeper adiabatic temperature profile than $N_2$ and $H_2$ as it has fewer degrees of freedom. Line broadening differences are small, collision-induced absorption (CIA) is not important in...
Higgs Branches of 5d SCFTs are hyperkähler cones, symplectic varieties with interesting nested singularities governing the structure of possible Higgs branch RG flows. The main purpose of this note is to investigate 5d Higgs Branches via a geometric route: we study 5d SCFTs geometrically engineered from M-theory on non-compact...
The localization transition of the sub-Ohmic spin-boson model generates boson bath correlations that are, at low frequencies, analytically inaccessible to standard coherent-state-polaron variational ansatzes. In this paper, we introduce a ``squeezed polaron'' wavefunction incorporating generic Gaussian boson-boson correlations induced...
We present an efficient and scalable computational framework for pseudopotential Kohn-Sham density functional theory (KS-DFT) calculations using an enriched finite element (EFE) basis. The EFE basis is formed by augmenting the classical finite element (CFE) basis with compact atom-centered functions, which we term enrichment...
Quantum many-body states with sufficiently low energy variance can serve as approximations to thermal states, and they may be prepared by energy filtering simple pure states. In this work, we examine how narrow the filter width must be to guarantee thermal behavior. To this end, we analyze the problem in the Floquet regime, where...
Electrons trapped above the surface of superfluid helium are a disorder-free platform for investigating the formation and dynamics of low-dimensional Wigner crystals. A characteristic nonlinear transport feature of this electronic solid suspended above the helium surface is the Bragg-Cherenkov effect, in which the mobility of the...
