Kavli Affiliate: Lindsey E. Bleem | First 5 Authors: Charles Romero, Massimo Gaspari, Gerrit Schellenberger, Bradford A. Benson, Lindsey E. Bleem | Summary: The hot plasma in galaxy clusters, the intracluster medium (ICM), is expected to be shaped by subsonic turbulent motions, which are key for heating, cooling, and transport mechanisms. The turbulent motions contribute […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: While there are many different mechanisms which have been proposed to understand the physics behind light induced “superconductivity", what seems to be common to the class of materials in which this is observed are strong pairing correlations, which are present in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Nergis Mavalvala | First 5 Authors: Benjamin Lou, Benjamin Lou, , , | Summary: Entanglement often increases quantum measurement schemes’ sensitivity. However, we find that in precision measurements with zero-mean Gaussian states, such as squeezed states, entanglement between different paths degrades measurement sensitivity. We prove an inverse relationship between entanglement entropy and sensitivity […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Ke Wang, Rufus Boyack, K. Levin, , | Summary: Observing the “Higgs" or amplitude mode in superconductors has been a central challenge in condensed matter physics. Moreover, arriving at a theoretical understanding of this mode and how it is accessible in, say, conductivity experiments presents an additional […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Kaiwen Jiang, Venkataram Sivaram, Cheng Peng, Ravi Ramamoorthi, | Summary: Geometric reconstruction of opaque surfaces from images is a longstanding challenge in computer vision, with renewed interest from volumetric view synthesis algorithms using radiance fields. We leverage the geometry field proposed in recent work for stochastic opaque […]
Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Pouya M. Kouch, Ioannis Liodakis, Francesco Fenu, Haocheng Zhang, Stella Boula | Summary: The X-ray polarization observations made possible with the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) offer new ways of probing high-energy emission processes in astrophysical jets from blazars. Here we report on the first X-ray […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Chen Tan, Chen Tan, , , | Summary: According to the Schr"odinger-Poisson equations, fuzzy dark matter (FDM) can form a stable equilibrium configuration, the so-called FDM soliton. In principle, given the FDM particle mass, the profile of the FDM soliton is fixed. In practice, however, there is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: We investigate how stellar feedback from the first stars (Population III) distributes metals through the interstellar and intergalactic medium using the star-by-star cosmological hydrodynamics simulation, Aeos. We find that energy injected from the supernovae of the first stars is enough to […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Jingtao Ding, Jingtao Ding, , , | Summary: The concept of world models has garnered significant attention due to advancements in multimodal large language models such as GPT-4 and video generation models such as Sora, which are central to the pursuit of artificial general intelligence. This survey […]
Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Akifumi Chitose, Masahiro Ibe, Shunsuke Neda, Satoshi Shirai, | Summary: Recent observations by pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) indicate a potential detection of a stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background. Metastable cosmic strings have been recognized as a possible source of the observed signals. In this paper, we propose […]
