Kavli Affiliate: Igor Moskalenko | Summary:Since its launch, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-02 (AMS-02) has delivered outstanding quality measurements of the spectra of cosmic-ray (CR) species, $e^pm$, $barp$, and nuclei (H-Si, S, Fe), which have resulted in a number of breakthroughs. Besides elemental spectra, AMS-02 also measures the spectra of light isotopes albeit within a smaller […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jill Leutgeb | Authors: Mengni Wang, Li Yuan, Stefan Leutgeb and Jill K. Leutgeb | Summary: Mental exploration enables flexible evaluation of potential future choices, guiding decision-making without requiring direct real-world iterations. Although the hippocampus is known to be active while imagining the future, the precise mechanisms that support mental exploration of future […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roberto Maiolino | First 5 Authors: Dávid Puskás, Sandro Tacchella, Charlotte Simmonds, Kevin Hainline, Francesco D’Eugenio | Summary: We present a comprehensive analysis of galaxy close-pair fractions and major merger rates to evaluate the importance of mergers in the hierarchical growth of galaxies over cosmic time. This study focuses on the previously poorly […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | Summary:In this paper, we introduce harmonic loss as an alternative supervisory signal for training neural networks and large language models (LLMs). Harmonic loss differs from standard cross-entropy loss by (a) replacing the usual SoftMax normalization with a scale-invariant HarMax function and (b) computing logits via Euclidean distance rather than a […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Chao Chen, Shu-Tian Xue, Yu-Peng Shi, Jing Wang, Zi-Mo Cheng | Summary: The Hong-Ou-Mandel effect is a paradigmatic quantum phenomenon demonstrating the interference of two indistinguishable photons that are linearly coupled at a 50:50 beam splitter. Here, we transpose such a two-particle quantum interference effect to the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Zeyu Wang, Yao-Hui Li, Xin Li, Hongyu Zang, Romain Laroche | Summary: Multi-View Reinforcement Learning (MVRL) seeks to provide agents with multi-view observations, enabling them to perceive environment with greater effectiveness and precision. Recent advancements in MVRL focus on extracting latent representations from multiview observations and […]
