ROLO-SLAM: Rotation-Optimized LiDAR-Only SLAM in Uneven Terrain with Ground Vehicle

Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yinchuan Wang, Bin Ren, Xiang Zhang, Pengyu Wang, Chaoqun Wang | Summary: LiDAR-based SLAM is recognized as one effective method to offer localization guidance in rough environments. However, off-the-shelf LiDAR-based SLAM methods suffer from significant pose estimation drifts, particularly components relevant to the vertical direction, when passing […]

Enhanced Condensation Through Rotation

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Maxim Chernodub, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: We argue that the rotation of a thin superconducting cylinder can increase the critical temperature of the superconducting phase transition substantially. The phenomenon can be interpreted as an effective negative moment of inertia associated with condensation of Cooper pairs. […]

Millihertz Oscillations Near the Innermost Orbit of a Supermassive Black Hole

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Megan Masterson, Erin Kara, Christos Panagiotou, William N. Alston, Joheen Chakraborty | Summary: Recent discoveries from time-domain surveys are defying our expectations for how matter accretes onto supermassive black holes (SMBHs). The increased rate of short-timescale, repetitive events around SMBHs, including the newly-discovered quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs), are […]

FEASTS: Radial Distribution of HI surface densities down to 0.01 M$_{odot}$ pc$^{-2}$ of 35 Nearby Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Jing Wang, Dong Yang, Xuchen Lin, Qifeng Huang, Zhijie Qu | Summary: We present the HI surface density ($Sigma_{rm HI}$) radial distributions based on total-power HI images obtained by FAST in the FEASTS program, for 35 galaxies with inclinations lower than 72 degree. We derive the HI […]

Heitler effect and resonance fluorescence in quantum magnonics

Kavli Affiliate: Ya M. Blanter | First 5 Authors: Enes Ilbuğa, V. V. Dobrovitski, Ya. M. Blanter, , | Summary: We consider a coupled system of a qubit and a magnon mode in which the qubit is weakly driven. We demonstrate that the spectral steady-state responses of both the qubit and the magnon show, in […]

Testing the Froggatt-Nielsen Mechanism with Lepton Violation

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Claudia Cornella, David Curtin, Gordan Krnjaic, Micah Mellors, | Summary: The Froggatt-Nielsen (FN) mechanism offers an elegant explanation for the observed masses and mixings of Standard Model fermions. In this work, we systematically study FN models in the lepton sector, identifying a broad range of charge assignments […]

VideoRefer Suite: Advancing Spatial-Temporal Object Understanding with Video LLM

Kavli Affiliate: Li Xin Li | First 5 Authors: Yuqian Yuan, Hang Zhang, Wentong Li, Zesen Cheng, Boqiang Zhang | Summary: Video Large Language Models (Video LLMs) have recently exhibited remarkable capabilities in general video understanding. However, they mainly focus on holistic comprehension and struggle with capturing fine-grained spatial and temporal details. Besides, the lack […]
