Repeating transients in galactic nuclei: confronting observations with theory

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Petra Suková, Francesco Tombesi, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Michal Zajaček, Thomas Wevers | Summary: In the last few years, a mysterious new class of astrophysical objects has been uncovered. These are spatially coincident with the nuclei of external galaxies and show X-ray variations that repeat on timescales […]

Quantum Benchmarking of High-Fidelity Noise-Biased Operations on a Detuned-Kerr-Cat Qubit

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Bingcheng Qing, Bingcheng Qing, , , | Summary: Ubiquitous noises in quantum systems remain a key obstacle to building quantum computers, necessitating the use of quantum error correction codes. Recently, error-correcting codes tailored for noise-biased systems have been shown to offer high fault-tolerance thresholds and reduced hardware […]

Flat-space limit of defect correlators and stringy AdS form factors

Kavli Affiliate: Xinan Zhou | First 5 Authors: Luis F. Alday, Xinan Zhou, , , | Summary: We study AdS form factors, given by the Mellin representation for CFT correlators of local operators in the presence of extended defects. We propose a formula for taking (and expanding around) the flat-space limit. This formula relates the […]

On the Temporal Variability of the Galactic Multi-TeV Interstellar Emissions

Kavli Affiliate: Igor Moskalenko | Summary:We use the GALPROP cosmic ray (CR) framework to model the Galactic CR distributions and associated non-thermal diffuse emissions up to PeV energies. We consider ensembles of discrete, finite lifetime CR sources, e.g. supernova remnants (SNRs), for a range of creation rates and lifetimes. We find that global properties of […]
