Hierarchical Inference With Bayesian Neural Networks: An Application to Strong Gravitational Lensing

Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Sebastian Wagner-Carena, Ji Won Park, Simon Birrer, Philip J. Marshall, Aaron Roodman | Summary: In the past few years, approximate Bayesian Neural Networks (BNNs) have demonstrated the ability to produce statistically consistent posteriors on a wide range of inference problems at unprecedented speed and scale. However, […]

Nonabelian stable envelopes, vertex functions with descendents, and integral solutions of $q$-difference equations

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Okounkov | First 5 Authors: Andrei Okounkov, , , , | Summary: We generalize the construction of elliptic stable envelopes to actions of connected reductive groups and give a direct inductive proof of their existence and uniqueness in a rather general situation. We show these have powerful enumerative applications, in particular, to […]

Phase Curves of Hot Neptune LTT 9779b Suggest a High-Metallicity Atmosphere

Kavli Affiliate: Christopher J. Burke | First 5 Authors: Ian J. M. Crossfield, Diana Dragomir, Nicolas B. Cowan, Tansu Daylan, Ian Wong | Summary: Phase curve measurements provide a global view of the composition, thermal structure, and dynamics of exoplanet atmospheres. Although most of the dozens of phase curve measurements made to date are of […]

NetSquid, a NETwork Simulator for QUantum Information using Discrete events

Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Tim Coopmans, Robert Knegjens, Axel Dahlberg, David Maier, Loek Nijsten | Summary: In order to bring quantum networks into the real world, we would like to determine the requirements of quantum network protocols including the underlying quantum hardware. Because detailed architecture proposals are generally too complex for […]

The Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey (CUBS) II: Discovery of an H$_{2}$-Bearing DLA in the Vicinity of an Early-Type Galaxy at z = 0.576

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Erin Boettcher, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Fakhri S. Zahedy, Thomas J. Cooper, Sean D. Johnson | Summary: We report the serendipitous detection of an H$_{2}$-bearing damped Lyman-$alpha$ absorber at z = 0.576 in the spectrum of the QSO J0111-0316 in the Cosmic Ultraviolet Baryon Survey. Spectroscopic observations from […]

Optimization-Based Visual-Inertial SLAM Tightly Coupled with Raw GNSS Measurements

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Jinxu Liu, Wei Gao, Zhanyi Hu, , | Summary: Unlike loose coupling approaches and the EKF-based approaches in the literature, we propose an optimization-based visual-inertial SLAM tightly coupled with raw Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) measurements, a first attempt of this kind in the literature to our […]

Starting Dynamics of a Fully Electronically Controlled Linear Mamyshev Oscillator

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wise | First 5 Authors: Yi-Hao Chen, Pavel Sidorenko, Frank Wise, , | Summary: We start an environmentally-stable linear Mamyshev oscillator with electronically-controlled modulated pump and a moving filter. It delivers a 21-nJ pulse that becomes 65 fs in duration after a compressor. Reliable starting into stable mode-locking is found achievable with […]

Singularities of thermal correlators at strong coupling

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Matthew Dodelson, Hirosi Ooguri, , , | Summary: We analyze the singularities of the two-point function in a conformal field theory at finite temperature. In a free theory, the only singularity is along the boundary light cone. In the holographic limit, a new class of singularities emerges […]
