Kavli Affiliate: Brad Ramshaw| First 5 Authors: B. J. Ramshaw, B. J. Ramshaw, , , | Summary:We summarize key experimental studies of the low energy properties of overdoped cuprate high temperature superconductors and conclude that a theoretical understanding of the "essential physics" is achievable in terms of a conventional Fermi-liquid treatment of the normal state, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eli Rykoff | Summary:We present a simulation-based forward-modeling framework for cosmological inference from optical galaxy-cluster samples, and apply it to the abundance and weak-lensing signals of DES-Y1 redMaPPer clusters. The model embeds cosmology-dependent optical selection using a counts-in-cylinders approach, while also accounting for cluster miscentering and baryonic feedback in lensing. Applied to DES-Y1, […]

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Feng Wang, , , | Summary: To effectively handle flows characterized by strong backflow and multiple open boundaries within particle-based frameworks, this study introduces three enhancements to improve the consistency, independence, and accuracy of the buffer-based open boundary condition in SPHinXsys. First, to improve the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Maria Monzani | Summary:Accurate position reconstruction in noble-element time-projection chambers (TPCs) is critical for rare-event searches in astroparticle physics, yet is systematically limited by electric field distortions arising from charge accumulation on detector surfaces. Conventional data-driven field corrections suffer from three fundamental limitations: discretization artifacts that break smoothness and differentiability, lack of guaranteed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | Summary:The astrophysical origin of the rapid neutron-capture process (r-process), which produces about half of the elements heavier than iron, remains uncertain. The oldest, most metal-poor stars preserve the chemical signatures of early nucleosynthesis events and can reveal the nature of the r-process sites. We present a homogeneous chemical abundance analysis […]
Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | Summary:We propose an architecture, called NVQLink, for connecting high-performance computing (HPC) resources to the control system of a quantum processing unit (QPU) to accelerate workloads necessary to the operation of the QPU. We aim to support every physical modality of QPU and every type of QPU system controller (QSC). The […]
Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | Summary:The exceptional tunability of two-dimensional van der Waals materials offers unique opportunities for exploring novel superconducting phases. However, in such systems, the measurement of superfluid phase stiffness, a fundamental property of a superconductor, is challenging because of the mesoscopic sample size. Here, we introduce a contact-free technique for probing the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jiahong Chen, Jiahong Chen, , , | Summary: Vision-language-action (VLA) models have significantly advanced robotic manipulation by integrating vision-language models (VLMs), and action decoders into a unified architecture. However, their deployment on resource-constrained edge devices, such as mobile robots or embedded systems (e.g., Jetson Orin Nano), remains […]
