The energy gap is one of the defining properties of a superconductor and appears because the quasiparticle excitations radically change once a metallic system enters the superconducting state. Unconventional superconductors typically exhibit a non-uniform gapping and therefore show physical effects that are subject to intense...
As organisms navigate the environment to locate critical resources, their behavioral actions must be tightly coupled to their sensory inputs. Here, we introduce an information-theoretic framework that quantifies this coupling using transfer entropy, which measures information flow between sensory inputs and behavioral outputs....
In electromagnetic heating and other applications, we need to compute the volume enclosed by an isosurface of the 3D temperature distribution that is numerically represented on a rectangular grid. This situation arises naturally when the temperature distribution is obtained by solving a partial differential equation numerically using...
Influence matrices encode the action exerted on local subsystems by the rest of an extended quantum many-body system during their evolution. Thus, knowledge of the influence matrix facilitates computationally efficient simulations of local dynamics. Here we propose a new systematic approach to generating quantum circuits with complex...
Solving high-dimensional parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs) is important in engineering, physics, and stochastic control. Deep BSDE methods reformulate semilinear PDEs as backward stochastic differential equations and admit a model-based reinforcement learning interpretation, where trajectories are generated from known...
In this study, we developed and evaluated four conditional energy-based forecasting architectures: a classical Gaussian-Bernoulli CRBM, a hybrid quantum-classical QCRBM, a full-register QQRBM, and a lag-feature QFeatureQRBM with complete derivations of their conditional distributions, Contrastive-Divergence gradients, and hybrid...
Epidemics on complex networks have been shown to exhibit dynamics that are strongly influenced by the topology of the network. However, it remains unclear how the topology of the network is influenced by epidemic properties, such as waning immunity and disease fatality, coupled with demographic changes. To explore the interplay...
This note discusses zero-sum games with open-ended innovation, whereby each player may introduce new strategies. The innovation process is modelled as a draw of new strategies form a distribution. It is argued that, under generic conditions, this setting can lead to an everlasting innovation arm race, because the introduction of new...
Wind-power variability is a major challenge for the reliable integration of utility-scale wind energy into modern power systems. Although wind-speed statistics are often described by simple parametric distributions, translating these statistics into turbine-level power fluctuations is nontrivial because the relationship between wind...
We present long-slit spectroscopic observations of the outflow associated with an infrared source IRAS 01166+6635, conducted with the 6-m telescope of the Special Astrophysical Observatory using the SCORPIO-2 focal reducer. The structure of the flow as investigated in detail, its position-velocity diagrams are constructed. The...
We construct a minimally modified gravity theory that propagates only two tensorial gravitational degrees of freedom around a spatially flat Friedmann--Lemaître--Robertson--Walker (FLRW) background and admits a predictive cosmological perturbation theory. We first show that, in the original four-constraint construction, the...
The interplay between ionic and electronic subsystems dictates the behavior of structural phase transitions in polar dielectrics, a coupling mediated by soft optical phonon modes. In incipient ferroelectrics such as SrTiO$_3$ (STO), strong local-field effects can drive the lattice into a non-perturbative regime near the phase...
Phase-space approaches such as the truncated Wigner approximation (TWA) provide an efficient semiclassical framework for performing approximate simulations of the dynamics of open quantum many-body systems outside the reach of exact numerical methods but beyond the mean-field level. For bosonic systems, TWA is known to be equivalent...
Rare-earth iron garnets offer an ideal platform for exploring the interplay of low-energy excitations and the complex temperature-dependent magnetization dynamics. In these systems, exchange coupling between rare-earth and iron sublattices generates high-frequency collective spin excitations. In addition, the robust spin-orbit...
The morphology of the cosmic web formed by the late-time matter distribution encodes cosmological information beyond that contained in standard two-point statistics. Marked power spectra provide a computationally efficient framework to access this higher-order information, by studying the two-point statistics of the density field...
We investigate charged lepton-flavour violation (LFV) induced by dimension-six four-lepton operators within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory at a proposed high-energy muon collider. We study the processes $μ^{+}μ^{-}\to e^{\pm}τ^{\mp}$, $μ^{+}μ^{-}\to e^{\pm}μ^{\mp}$, and $μ^{+}μ^{-}\to μ^{\pm}τ^{\mp}$ at $\sqrt{s}=3$, $10$,...
The dynamics of a nuclear spin bath generates magnetic noise that is a key contributor to the decoherence of electron spin qubits in electrostatically-defined quantum dots. In this paper, we extend the cluster correlation expansion (CCE) technique, which has proven useful for predicting solid-state qubit coherence times across various...
In order to appropriately capture large-scale material features and emergent phenomena via atomistic simulations, such as Molecular Dynamics (MD), the system scale can range up to hundreds of millions of atoms. However, the force-field models that drive those simulations are generally trained with Density Functional Theory (DFT)...
Solar radio bursts are signatures of energetic events associated with solar flares and coronal mass ejections and can interfere with terrestrial and space-based communication systems. Real-time automatic burst monitoring enables early warnings tens of minutes to hours before associated particles reach Earth and provides the basis for...
We introduce Krylov-space memory cores as stationary, depth-resolved structures that reveal how anomalous initial-state memory is organized inside the Krylov space of otherwise thermalizing nonintegrable systems. The stationary occupation profile identifies where late-time probability is concentrated along the Krylov chain, while...
The growing sensitivity of gravitational-wave detectors enables increasingly precise tests of black hole (BH) ringdown spectroscopy. BH quasinormal modes (QNMs) are, however, spectrally unstable: small near-horizon modifications can produce a drastically different QNM spectrum, while causality requires the prompt ringdown to remain...
Secondary bias is the dependence of halo clustering on properties beyond halo mass. Using the $z=0$ TNG300-1-Dark simulation, we study anisotropic secondary bias (ASB): the variation of secondary bias with direction relative to the halo major axis. We first use ordinary, orientation-averaged secondary bias (OSB) as a baseline to...
Symmetric second-rank tensors are reported through magnitude-ordered principal values and axes. This representation folds tensor space: although the physical tensor remains smooth, the reported parameters develop cusps and exchange labels when one principal value crosses zero or two become degenerate. It conceals a global effect: an...
Mass functions are used in all areas of astrophysics. The stellar initial mass function (IMF), in particular, plays a central role in modeling stellar populations in galaxies. However, few dedicated tools for working directly with the IMF and its precursor functions are widely available. We present the $\texttt{imf}$ package, a Python...
Mapping the subsurface structure and flow field of sunspots has been a challenging task for helioseismology. In this work, we investigate the propagation of acoustic waves in a sunspot in NOAA active region 11312 using time-distance helioseismology. Travel times of waves traveling into and out of the sunspot are measured as functions...
