A phase space approach to the wavefunction spreading and operator growth in the Krylov basis

In the Wigner-Weyl phase space formulation of quantum mechanics, we analyse the problem of the spreading of an initial state or an initial operator under time evolution when described in terms of the Krylov basis. After constructing the phase space functions corresponding to the Krylov basis states generated by a Hamiltonian from a...

An efficient treatment of heat-flux boundary conditions in GSIS for rarefied gas flows

Heat-flux boundary conditions are challenging to implement efficiently in rarefied gas flow simulations because the wall-reflected gas temperature and density must be determined dynamically during the computation. This paper aims to tackle this problem within the general synthetic iterative scheme (GSIS), where the Boltzmann kinetic...

Nonclassical photocounting statistics with a single on-off detector

Any single on-off photocounter, which can only detect the presence or absence of photons without discriminating their number, is not capable of identifying nonclassical nature of light. This limitation arises because any photocounting statistics obtained with such a detector can be easily reproduced with coherent states of a light...

The Characteristic Mass and Energy Conversion Efficiency in the Cusp-Core Transition of Dark Matter Haloes: Implications for Scaling Relations and Supernova feedbacks

Galaxies in the nearby Universe, particularly dwarf systems, exhibit inner mass profiles of dark matter haloes that systematically depart from canonical cold dark matter expectations, signalling an interplay between baryonic feedback and the collisionless halo. We update an analytical cusp-core transition model by incorporating the...

Block-Fitness Modeling of the Global Air Mobility Network

Accurate representations of the World Air Transportation Network (WAN) are fundamental inputs to models of global mobility, epidemic risk, and infrastructure planning. However, high-resolution, real-time data on the WAN are largely commercial and proprietary, therefore often inaccessible to the research community. Here we introduce a...

To infinity and back -- $1/N$ graph expansions of light-matter systems

We present a method for performing a full graph expansion for light-matter systems, utilizing the linked-cluster theorem. This method enables us to explore $1/N$ corrections to the thermodynamic limit $N\to \infty$ in the number of particles, giving us access to the mesoscopic regime. While this regime is yet largely unexplored due to...

The mechanistic origin of branching-driven nucleation in abrupt phase transitions

Phase transitions are the macroscopic manifestation of microscopic processes that drive a system towards a new state. The detailed evolution of these processes, particularly in abrupt phase transitions, are currently not fully understood. Here, we introduce a theoretical framework based on internal node dependencies within a...

Follow-up of three exocomet-host candidates

Exocomets are small bodies that evaporate when they approach their host star. They are detected through variability of non-photospheric features with spectroscopy and/or asymmetric transits in time-series photometry. In the past four decades ~30 systems have shown such variations, and were therefore classified as exocomet host stars....

Interpretable, Physics-Informed Learning Reveals Sulfur Adsorption and Poisoning Mechanisms in 13-Atom Icosahedra Nanoclusters

Transition-metal nanoclusters exhibit structural and electronic properties that depend on their size, often making them superior to bulk materials for heterogeneous catalysis. However, their performance can be limited by sulfur poisoning. Here, we use dispersion-corrected density functional theory (DFT) and physics-informed machine...

Dimensional Constraints from SU(2) Representation Theory in Graph-Based Quantum Systems

We investigate dimensional constraints arising from representation theory when abstract graph edges possess internal degrees of freedom but lack geometric properties. We prove that such internal degrees of freedom can only encode directional information, necessitating quantum states in $\mathbb{C}^2$ (qubits) as the minimal...
