Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Weiren Zhao, Feng Wang, Yanran Wang, Yutong Xie, Qi Wu | Summary: Recent advancements have highlighted the Mamba framework, a state-space model known for its efficiency in capturing long-range dependencies with linear computational complexity. While Mamba has shown competitive performance in medical image segmentation, it encounters difficulties […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Xiao Cao, Yan-Mei Chen, Yong Shi, Junfeng Wang, Zhi-Jie Zhou | Summary: Dual active galactic nuclei (AGNs) with comparable masses are commonly witnessed among the major merged galaxies with interaction remnants. Considering almost every massive galaxy is associated with multiple dwarf satellites around it, minor mergers […]

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Aditya N. Singh, Avishek Das, David T. Limmer, , | Summary: This article reviews the concepts and methods of variational path sampling. These methods allow computational studies of rare events in systems driven arbitrarily far from equilibrium. Based upon a statistical mechanics of trajectory space and […]
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: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Tomojit Chowdhury, Fauzia Mujid, Zehra Naqvi, Ariana Ray, Ce Liang | Summary: Controlling the spectral and polarization responses of two-dimensional (2D) crystals is vital for developing ultra-thin platforms for compact optoelectronic devices. However, independently tuning optical anisotropy and spectral response remains challenging in conventional semiconductors due […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: David D. Baek, Ziming Liu, Riya Tyagi, Max Tegmark, | Summary: In this paper, we introduce **harmonic loss** as an alternative to the standard cross-entropy loss for training neural networks and large language models (LLMs). Harmonic loss enables improved interpretability and faster convergence, owing to its scale […]

Clish, Shinhye Chung, Emily Drzymalla, Anne M. Evans, Nora Franceschini, Robert E. Gerszten, Madeline G. Gillman, Scott R. Hutton, Rachel S. Kelly, Charles Kooperberg, Martin G. Larson, Jessica […]
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 […]
