Gravitational-wave data analysis with high-precision numerical relativity simulations of boson star mergers

Posted by dbos Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Tamara Evstafyeva, Ulrich Sperhake, Isobel Romero-Shaw, Michalis Agathos, | Summary: Gravitational-wave signals detected to date are commonly interpreted under the paradigm that they originate from pairs of black holes or neutron stars. Here, we explore the alternative scenario of boson-star signals being present in the data stream. […]

Quantum-enabled continuous microwave-to-optics frequency conversion

Posted by dbos Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | First 5 Authors: Han Zhao, William David Chen, Abhishek Kejriwal, Mohammad Mirhosseini, | Summary: A quantum interface between microwave and optical photons is essential for entangling remote superconducting quantum processors. To preserve fragile quantum states, a transducer must operate efficiently while generating less than one photon of noise referred to […]

TDCOSMO. XVI. Measurement of the Hubble Constant from the Lensed Quasar WGD$,$2038$-$4008

Posted by dbos Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Philip J. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Kenneth C. Wong, Frédéric Dux, Anowar J. Shajib, Sherry H. Suyu, Martin Millon | Summary: Time-delay cosmography is a powerful technique to constrain cosmological parameters, particularly the Hubble constant ($H_{0}$). The TDCOSMO collaboration is performing an ongoing analysis of lensed quasars to constrain cosmology using this […]

Reinforcement Tuning for Detecting Stances and Debunking Rumors Jointly with Large Language Models

Posted by dbos Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Ruichao Yang, Wei Gao, Jing Ma, Hongzhan Lin, Bo Wang | Summary: Learning multi-task models for jointly detecting stance and verifying rumors poses challenges due to the need for training data of stance at post level and rumor veracity at claim level, which are difficult to obtain. […]

History-Aware Planning for Risk-free Autonomous Navigation on Unknown Uneven Terrain

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yinchuan Wang, Nianfei Du, Yongsen Qin, Xiang Zhang, Rui Song | Summary: It is challenging for the mobile robot to achieve autonomous and mapless navigation in the unknown environment with uneven terrain. In this study, we present a layered and systematic pipeline. At the local level, we […]

Fermion-fermion interaction driven phase transitions in the rhombohedral trilayer graphene

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Qiao-Chu Zhang, Jing Wang, , , | Summary: The effects of short-range fermion-fermion interactions on the low-energy properties of the rhombohedral trilayer graphene are comprehensively investigated by virtue of the momentum-shell renormalization group method. We take into account all one-loop corrections and establish the energy-dependent coupled evolutions […]
