X-ray Polarimetry of Accreting White Dwarfs: A Case Study of EX Hydrae

Kavli Affiliate: Herman Marshall | Summary:We present the first first X-ray polarization measurements of a white dwarf, the intermediate polar EX Hya. We measured significant polarization only in the 2 — 3 keV energy band with a polarization degree of 8 percent at a $3σ$ significance. No significant polarization was detected above 3 keV, which […]

Squeezed Quasinormal Modes from Nonlinear Gravitational Effects

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | Summary:We estimate the degree of squeezing possible in gravitational waves due to nonlinear gravitational effects in the weakly perturbative regime. Using the predicted amplitude ratios for higher harmonic generation in the ringdown phase of a black hole merger event, we estimate the relevant degree of squeezing produced by a Schwarzschild […]

Squeezed Quasinormal Modes from Nonlinear Gravitational Effects

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | Summary:We demonstrate that long-lived black hole quasi-normal modes become quantum mechanically squeezed due to nonlinear gravitational effects. We estimate the degree of squeezing for the fundamental mode of a Schwarzschild black hole quantitatively. | Search Query: arXiv Query: search_query=au:”Wilczek Frank”&id_list=&start=0&max_results=10Read More

Detector Correlations and Null Tests of the Coherent State Hypothesis

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | Summary:We discuss the statistics of correlations between two resonant detectors. We show that this allows simple null tests of the coherent state hypothesis, free of vacuum (quantum) noise. Complementary aspects of the radiation field, it e.g., squeezing in number or phase, can be revealed through appropriate detection strategies. | Search […]

Robust Single-Stage Fully Sparse 3D Object Detection via Detachable Latent Diffusion

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wentao Qu, Wentao Qu, , , | Summary: Denoising Diffusion Probabilistic Models (DDPMs) have shown success in robust 3D object detection tasks. Existing methods often rely on the score matching from 3D boxes or pre-trained diffusion priors. However, they typically require multi-step iterations in inference, which limits […]

High-resolution magnetic imaging by mapping the locally induced anomalous Nernst effect using atomic force microscopy

Kavli Affiliate: Zheng Zhu | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We report a magnetic imaging method using atomic force microscopy to measure the locally induced anomalous Nernst effect. The tip contact creates a local temperature gradient on the sample surface controlled by a neighboring Joule heating wire. We demonstrate the imaging […]
