Long-Range QKD without Trusted Nodes is Not Possible with Current Technology

Kavli Affiliate: Wolfgang Tittel | First 5 Authors: Bruno Huttner, Romain Alléaume, Eleni Diamanti, Florian Fröwis, Philippe Grangier | Summary: A recently published patent (https://www.ipo.gov.uk/p-ipsum/Case/PublicationNumber/GB2590064) has claimed the development of a novel quantum key distribution protocol purporting to achieve long-range quantum security without trusted nodes and without use of quantum repeaters. Here we present a […]

Omnigrok: Grokking Beyond Algorithmic Data

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Eric J. Michaud, Max Tegmark, , | Summary: Grokking, the unusual phenomenon for algorithmic datasets where generalization happens long after overfitting the training data, has remained elusive. We aim to understand grokking by analyzing the loss landscapes of neural networks, identifying the mismatch between training […]

Gas Morphology of Milky Way-like Galaxies in the TNG50 Simulation: Signals of Twisting and Stretching

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Thomas K. Waters, Colton Peterson, Razieh Emami, Xuejian Shen, Lars Hernquist | Summary: We present an in-depth analysis of gas morphologies for a sample of 25 Milky Way-like galaxies from the IllustrisTNG TNG50 simulation. We constrain the morphology of cold, warm, hot gas, and gas particles as […]
