Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Yuan Miao, Linhao Li, Hosho Katsura, Masahito Yamazaki, | Summary: Quantum many-body scars (QMBS) serve as important examples of ergodicity-breaking phenomena in quantum many-body systems. Despite recent extensive studies, exact QMBS are rare in dimensions higher than one. In this paper, we study a two-dimensional quantum $mathbb{Z}_2$ […]
Kavli Affiliate: Roger Blandford | First 5 Authors: Noémie Globus, Roger Blandford, , , | Summary: Ultra High Energy Cosmic Rays, UHECR, are charged particles with energies between $sim10^{18},{rm eV}$ and $sim3times10^{20},{rm eV}sim50,{rm J}$. They exhibit fundamental physics at energies inaccessible to terrestrial accelerators, challenge experimental physics and connect strongly to astronomical observations through electromagnetic, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wesley Thompson | Authors: Masaya Misaki, Chun Chieh Fan, Wesley K Thompson, Heekyeong Park, Bohan Xu and Martin M Paulus | Summary: Neuroticism is characterized by emotional instability and increased susceptibility to stress-related disorders. While traditionally treated as a unitary construct, growing evidence suggests that neuroticism is heterogeneous in both its genetic basis […]
Kavli Affiliate: Simeon Hellerman | First 5 Authors: Jahmall Bersini, Simeon Hellerman, Domenico Orlando, Susanne Reffert, | Summary: We study the fixed point of the three-dimensional NJL model in a double-scaling limit where both the charge $Q$ and the number of fermion flavors $N$ become large with a fixed ratio $q=Q/(2N)$. While a similar analysis […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander Ji | First 5 Authors: Michael R. Blanton, Joleen K. Carlberg, Tom Dwelly, Ilija Medan, S. Drew Chojnowski | Summary: We present an algorithmic method for efficiently planning a long-term, large-scale multi-object spectroscopy program. The Sloan Digital Sky Survey V (SDSS-V) Focal Plane System performs multi-object spectroscopy using 500 robotic positioners to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yiping Liu, Yi Zhou, Zhenxiang Xu, Mingyu Xiao, Jin-Kao Hao | Summary: The Generalized Independent Set (GIS) problem extends the classical maximum independent set problem by incorporating profits for vertices and penalties for edges. This generalized problem has been identified in diverse applications in fields such as […]
Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | First 5 Authors: Runze Lin, Junghui Chen, Biao Huang, Lei Xie, Hongye Su | Summary: In the era of Industry 4.0 and smart manufacturing, process systems engineering must adapt to digital transformation. While reinforcement learning offers a model-free approach to process control, its applications are limited by the dependence on […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhuo Li, Guodong Du, Weiyang Guo, Yigeng Zhou, Xiucheng Li | Summary: Aligning large language models (LLMs) to simultaneously satisfy multiple objectives remains a significant challenge, especially given the diverse and often conflicting nature of human preferences. Existing alignment methods struggle to balance trade-offs effectively, often requiring […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stephan S. Meyer | First 5 Authors: James. H. Adams Jr., Denis Allard, Phillip Alldredge, Luis Anchordoqui, Anna Anzalone | Summary: The Extreme Universe Space Observatory on a Super Pressure Balloon 2 (EUSO-SPB2) is a pathfinder mission toward a space-based observatory such as the Probe of Extreme Multi-Messenger Astrophysics (POEMMA). The aim of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Ting Xu, Zhichao Huang, Jiankai Sun, Shanbo Cheng, Wai Lam | Summary: We present Sequential Policy Optimization for Simultaneous Machine Translation (SeqPO-SiMT), a new policy optimization framework that defines the simultaneous machine translation (SiMT) task as a sequential decision making problem, incorporating a tailored reward to enhance […]
