Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: We demonstrate that the statistical fluctuations in resonant radiation detectors operating in homodyne and heterodyne modes offers additional, complementary information to that obtained from their direct operation as click detectors. We use this to refine tests of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: Gravitational radiation from known astrophysical sources is conventionally treated classically. This treatment corresponds, implicitly, to the hypothesis that a particular class of quantum-mechanical states — the so-called coherent states — adequately describe the gravitational radiation field. We propose […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Riku Ishikawa, Hitoshi Murayama, Shota Saito, , | Summary: We classify “truly confining” (t-confining) supersymmetric gauge theories, in which no center charges can be screened, and Wilson loops in the fundamental representation are therefore expected to exhibit an area law. In all cases, we identify the condensation […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Rohan P. Naidu, Pascal A. Oesch, Gabriel Brammer, Andrea Weibel, Yijia Li | Summary: JWST has revealed a stunning population of bright galaxies at surprisingly early epochs, $z>10$, where few such sources were expected. Here we present the most distant example of this class yet — […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Kosuke Aizawa, Ryosuke Akizawa, Scott Cray, Shaul Hanany, Shotaro Kawano | Summary: We present designs and fabrication of sub-wavelength anti-reflection (AR) structures on alumina for infrared absorptive filters with passbands near 30, 125, and 250 GHz. These bands are widely used by ground-based instruments measuring the cosmic […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ziming Liu, Yizhou Liu, Jeff Gore, Max Tegmark, | Summary: Beyond neural scaling laws, little is known about the laws underlying large language models (LLMs). We introduce Neural Thermodynamic Laws (NTL) — a new framework that offers fresh insights into LLM training dynamics. On the theoretical side, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Lile Wang | First 5 Authors: Muxin Liu, Lile Wang, Peng Peng, , | Summary: Stars with outflows interacting with ambient gas experience accelerations arising from the gravitational feedback induced by the interaction structure. In this work, three-dimensional (3D) local shearing box simulations are performed to investigate the dynamical evolution of a star […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Yifan Gao, Yaoxian Dong, Wenbin Wu, Chaoyang Ge, Feng Yuan | Summary: Accurate lymph node metastasis (LNM) assessment in rectal cancer is essential for treatment planning, yet current MRI-based evaluation shows unsatisfactory accuracy, leading to suboptimal clinical decisions. Developing automated systems also faces significant obstacles, primarily the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Ali Ghorashi, Sachin Vaidya, Ziming Liu, Charlotte Loh, Thomas Christensen | Summary: Topological photonic crystals (PhCs) offer robust, disorder-resistant modes engendered by nontrivial band symmetries, but designing PhCs with prescribed topological band properties remains a challenge due to the complexity involved in mapping the continuous real-space design […]
Kavli Affiliate: John E. Carlstrom | First 5 Authors: Rohan Dahale, Ilje Cho, Kotaro Moriyama, Kaj Wiik, Paul Tiede | Summary: We investigate the origin of the elliptical ring structure observed in the images of the supermassive black hole M87*, aiming to disentangle contributions from gravitational, astrophysical, and imaging effects. Leveraging the enhanced capabilities of […]
