Kavli Affiliate: Anton R. Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Juan Daniel Torres Luna, Juan Daniel Torres Luna, , , | Summary: To observe Majorana bound states, and especially to use them as a qubit, requires careful optimization of competing quality metrics. We systematically compare Majorana quality in proximitized semiconductor nanowires and quantum dot chains. Using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Morteza Gharib | First 5 Authors: Fengze Xie, Fengze Xie, , , | Summary: Fixed-wing unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) offer endurance and efficiency but lack low-speed agility due to highly coupled dynamics. We present an end-to-end sensing-to-control pipeline that combines bio-inspired hardware, physics-informed dynamics learning, and convex control allocation. Measuring airflow on a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Zhen Cao, Zhen Cao, , , | Summary: Ultra-high-energy (UHE), exceeding 100 TeV (10^12 electronvolts), gamma-rays manifests extreme particle acceleration in astrophysical sources. Recent observations by gamma-ray telescopes, particularly by the Large High Altitude Air Shower Observatory (LHAASO), have revealed a few tens of UHE sources, indicating […]
Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Julien Fitouchi, Julien Fitouchi, , , | Summary: We investigate the zero-magnetization phase diagram of a spin-1/2 chain with competing ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor and antiferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor exchange couplings in the strongly interacting regime. Using density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) simulations, we discover two successive commensurate-incommensurate transitions of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: Ruyang Liu, Ruyang Liu, , , | Summary: Long-form video understanding has always been a challenging problem due to the significant redundancy in both temporal and spatial contents. This challenge is further exacerbated by the limited context length of Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs). To address this […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Haining Pan, Haining Pan, , , | Summary: Large language models (LLMs) have shown remarkable progress in coding and math problem-solving, but evaluation on advanced research-level problems in hard sciences remains scarce. To fill this gap, we present CMT-Benchmark, a dataset of 50 problems covering condensed matter […]
Kavli Affiliate: James J. Bock | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: The background light produced by emission from all sources over cosmic history is a powerful diagnostic of structure formation and evolution. At near-infrared wavelengths, this extragalactic background light (EBL) is comprised of emission from galaxies stretching all the way back […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Tingting Liao, Tingting Liao, , , | Summary: Imagine Mr. Bean stepping into Tom and Jerry–can we generate videos where characters interact naturally across different worlds? We study inter-character interaction in text-to-video generation, where the key challenge is to preserve each character’s identity and behaviors while enabling […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We study the impact of warm dark matter (WDM) particle mass on galaxy properties using 1,024 state-of-the-art cosmological hydrodynamical simulations from the DREAMS project. We begin by using a Multilayer Perceptron (MLP) coupled with a normalizing flow to explore global statistical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herre S. J. Van Der Zant | First 5 Authors: Raphaela de Oliveira, Raphaela de Oliveira, , , | Summary: Biotite crystals are phyllosilicate trioctahedral micas with the general chemical formula K(Mg,Fe)3AlSi3O10(OH)2 that form a solid-solution series with iron-poor phlogopite and iron-rich annite endmembers. With a wide band gap energy and a layered […]
