Kavli Affiliate: Carlos E. M. Wagner | First 5 Authors: Ernesto Arganda, Ernesto Arganda, , , | Summary: We investigate a WIMP dark matter (DM) candidate in the form of a singlino-dominated lightest supersymmetric particle (LSP) within the $Z_3$-symmetric Next-to-Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model. This framework gives rise to regions of parameter space where DM is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Xiang Zhang | First 5 Authors: Xiao-Yong Liu, Xiao-Yong Liu, , , | Summary: Optical atomic clocks play a crucial role in fundamental physics, relativistic geodesy, and the future redefinition of the SI second. Standard operation relies on cyclic interrogation sequences, which alternate between atomic interrogation and dead time used for state preparation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Hongyao Tu, Hongyao Tu, , , | Summary: The goal of open relation extraction (OpenRE) is to develop an RE model that can generalize to new relations not encountered during training. Existing studies primarily formulate OpenRE as a clustering task. They first cluster all test instances based […]
Kavli Affiliate: Giordano Scappucci | First 5 Authors: Davide Costa, Davide Costa, , , | Summary: Evaluation of critical bandstructure and quantum transport parameters in two-dimensional systems is challenging when competition emerges among different energy scales shaping quantum oscillations in a magnetic field. Here we overcome this challenge in low-disorder strained germanium quantum wells by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hu Zhan | First 5 Authors: Zhen-Ya Zheng, Zhen-Ya Zheng, , , | Summary: The Multi-Channel Imager (MCI) is a powerful near-ultraviolet (NUV) and visible imager onboard the Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope (CSST). The MCI provides three imaging channels, which are the NUV channel, the Optical-blue channel and the Optical-red channel, with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Long B. Nguyen, Long B. Nguyen, , , | Summary: Decoherence errors arising from noisy environments remain a central obstacle to progress in quantum computation and information processing. Quantum error correction (QEC) based on the Gottesman-Kitaev-Preskill (GKP) protocol offers a powerful strategy to overcome this challenge, with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Accretion discs in strong gravity ubiquitously produce winds, seen as blueshifted absorption lines in the X-ray band of both stellar mass X-ray binaries (black holes and neutron stars), and supermassive black holes. Some of the most powerful winds (termed Eddington winds) […]
Kavli Affiliate: Melania Nynka | First 5 Authors: Shifra Mandel, Shifra Mandel, , , | Summary: For the first time in nearly a decade, a new, bright transient was detected in the central parsec (pc) of the Galaxy. MAXI J1744-294 was never observed in outburst prior to January 2025. We present the results of a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Gaifan Zhang, Gaifan Zhang, , , | Summary: Semantic similarity between two sentences depends on the aspects considered between those sentences. To study this phenomenon, Deshpande et al. (2023) proposed the Conditional Semantic Textual Similarity (C-STS) task and annotated a human-rated similarity dataset containing pairs of sentences […]
Kavli Affiliate: Clarence Chang | First 5 Authors: Juliang Li, Juliang Li, , , | Summary: Superconducting thin films with high intrinsic kinetic inductance $L_k$ are important for high-sensitivity detectors, enabling strong coupling in hybrid quantum systems, and enhancing nonlinearities in quantum devices. We report the room-temperature reactive sputtering of titanium nitride thin films with […]
