Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Dominika Ďurovčíková, Anna-Christina Eilers, Romain A. Meyer, Emanuele Paolo Farina, Eduardo Bañados | Summary: The existence of billion-solar-mass black holes hosted in luminous quasars within the first gigayear of cosmic history poses a challenge to our understanding of supermassive black hole (SMBH) growth. The problem is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | First 5 Authors: Haoyu Guo, Debanjan Chowdhury, , , | Summary: Metals at the brink of electronic quantum phase transitions display high-temperature superconductivity, competing orders, and unconventional charge transport, revealing strong departures from conventional Fermi liquid behavior. Investigation of these fascinating intertwined phenomena has been at the center of research […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Tanisha Jhaveri, Tanvi Karwal, Wayne Hu, , | Summary: Under $Lambda$CDM, recent baryon acoustic oscillation (BAO) distance measures from DESI, which favor a low matter density $Omega_m$, are in moderate $2-3sigma$ tension with cosmic microwave background (CMB) observations. This tension appears alternately as a preference for the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sara Seager | First 5 Authors: Luis Welbanks, Matthew C. Nixon, Peter McGill, Lana J. Tilke, Lindsey S. Wiser | Summary: Claims of detections of gases in exoplanet atmospheres often rely on comparisons between models including and excluding specific chemical species. However, the space of molecular combinations available for model construction is vast […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Jingbo Sun, Hengxiao Guo, Wenwen Zuo, Paulina Lira, Minfeng Gu | Summary: The search for robust evidence of intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) is crucial for understanding black hole seeding process and the formation of supermassive black holes in the early Universe. NGC 4395 and POX 52 […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zeeshan Ahmed | First 5 Authors: Kushagra Garg, Zeeshan Ahmed, Subhadip Mitra, Shantanav Chakraborty, | Summary: We develop randomized quantum algorithms to simulate quantum collision models, also known as repeated interaction schemes, which provide a rich framework to model various open-system dynamics. The underlying technique involves composing time evolutions of the total (system, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhuo Li | First 5 Authors: Zhelun Shen, Zhuo Li, Chenming Wu, Zhibo Rao, Lina Liu | Summary: Recently, learning-based stereo matching methods have achieved great improvement in public benchmarks, where soft argmin and smooth L1 loss play a core contribution to their success. However, in unsupervised domain adaptation scenarios, we observe that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Zhiting Tian | First 5 Authors: Masato Ohnishi, Tianqi Deng, Pol Torres, Zhihao Xu, Terumasa Tadano | Summary: Understanding the anharmonic phonon properties of crystal compounds — such as phonon lifetimes and thermal conductivities — is essential for investigating and optimizing their thermal transport behaviors. These properties also impact optical, electronic, and magnetic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory Herczeg | First 5 Authors: Carlos Contreras Peña, Jeong-Eun Lee, Ho-Gyu Lee, Gregory Herczeg, Doug Johnstone | Summary: Long-lasting episodes of high accretion can strongly impact stellar and planetary formation. However, the universality of these events during the formation of young stellar objects (YSOs) is still under debate. Accurate statistics of strong […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erich Jarvis | Authors: Matthew T Biegler, Elijah Harter, Asha V Sidhu, Christina Szialta, Gillian Durham, Lotem Tchernichovski, Paul Collier, Ji-Dung Luo, Wei Wang, Ryan MacIsaac, Kirubel Belay, Thomas Carroll, Anna L Keyte and Erich D Jarvis | Summary: Primordial germ cells (PGCs) are germline stem cells that develop into sperm or egg […]
