Redefining in Dictionary: Towards an Enhanced Semantic Understanding of Creative Generation

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Fu Feng, Yucheng Xie, Xu Yang, Jing Wang, Xin Geng | Summary: “Creative” remains an inherently abstract concept for both humans and diffusion models. While text-to-image (T2I) diffusion models can easily generate out-of-domain concepts like “a blue banana”, they struggle with generating combinatorial objects such as “a […]

Hair is complicated: Gravitational waves from stable and unstable boson-star mergers

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Bo-Xuan Ge, Eugene A. Lim, Ulrich Sperhake, Tamara Evstafyeva, Daniela Cors | Summary: We explore the gravitational-wave emission from head-on collisions of equal-mass solitonic boson-star binaries from simulations spanning a two-dimensional parameter space, consisting of the central scalar-field amplitude of the stars and the solitonic potential parameter. […]

Solving the Kinetic Ising Model with Non-Reciprocity

Kavli Affiliate: Savdeep Sethi | First 5 Authors: Gabriel Weiderpass, Mayur Sharma, Savdeep Sethi, , | Summary: Non-reciprocal interactions are a generic feature of non-equilibrium systems. We define a non-reciprocal generalization of the kinetic Ising model in one spatial dimension. We solve the model exactly using two different approaches for infinite, semi-infinite and finite systems […]

Orbital-spin Locking and its Optical Signatures in Altermagnets

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Marc Vila, Veronika Sunko, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: Altermagnets, magnetic materials with zero magnetization and spin-split band structure, have gained tremendous attention recently for their rich physics and potential applications. Here, we report on a microscopic tight-binding model that unveils a unique coupling between […]

Hybrid cat-transmon architecture for scalable, hardware-efficient quantum error correction

Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Connor T. Hann, Kyungjoo Noh, Harald Putterman, Matthew H. Matheny, Joseph K. Iverson | Summary: Dissipative cat qubits are a promising physical platform for quantum computing, since their large noise bias can enable more hardware-efficient quantum error correction. In this work we theoretically study the long-term prospects […]

Observable CMB Tensor Modes from Cosmological Phase Transitions

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Kylar Greene, Aurora Ireland, Gordan Krnjaic, Yuhsin Tsai, | Summary: A B-mode polarization signal in the cosmic microwave background is widely regarded as smoking gun evidence for gravitational waves produced during inflation. Here we demonstrate that tensor perturbations from a cosmological phase transition in the post-inflationary universe […]

Model-independent measurement of $D^0$-$overline{D}{}^0$ mixing parameters in $D^0rightarrow K^0_{S}π^+π^-$ decays at Belle and Belle II

Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: Belle, Belle II Collaborations, :, I. Adachi, L. Aggarwal | Summary: We perform a model-independent measurement of the $D^0$-$overline{D}{}^0$ mixing parameters using samples of $e^+e^-$-collision data collected by the Belle and Belle II experiments that have integrated luminosities of $951 text{fb}^{-1}$ and $408 text{fb}^{-1}$, respectively. Approximately $2.05times10^6$ […]

Quantum optimal control of superconducting qubits based on machine-learning characterization

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Elie Genois, Noah J. Stevenson, Noah Goss, Irfan Siddiqi, Alexandre Blais | Summary: Implementing fast and high-fidelity quantum operations using open-loop quantum optimal control relies on having an accurate model of the quantum dynamics. Any deviations between this model and the complete dynamics of the device, such […]
