Probing ultrafast magnetization dynamics via synthetic axion fields

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Leon Shaposhnikov, Eduardo Barredo-Alamilla, Frank Wilczek, Maxim A. Gorlach, | Summary: Spatial structuring of materials at subwavelength scales underlies the concept of metamaterials possessing exotic properties beyond those of the constituent media. Temporal modulation of material parameters enables further functionalities. Here, we show that high-frequency oscillations of […]

Survival of the Fittest Representation: A Case Study with Modular Addition

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Xiaoman Delores Ding, Zifan Carl Guo, Eric J. Michaud, Ziming Liu, Max Tegmark | Summary: When a neural network can learn multiple distinct algorithms to solve a task, how does it "choose" between them during training? To approach this question, we take inspiration from ecology: when multiple […]

Faraday tomography with CHIME: the `tadpole’ feature G137+7

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: Nasser Mohammed, Anna Ordog, Rebecca A. Booth, Andrea Bracco, Jo-Anne C. Brown | Summary: A direct consequence of Faraday rotation is that the polarized radio sky does not resemble the total intensity sky at long wavelengths. We analyze G137+7, which is undetectable in total intensity but […]

The Supersonic Project: Early Star Formation with the Streaming Velocity

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: William Lake, Claire E. Williams, Smadar Naoz, Federico Marinacci, Blakesley Burkhart | Summary: At high redshifts ($zgtrsim12$), the relative velocity between baryons and dark matter (the so-called streaming velocity) significantly affects star formation in low-mass objects. Streaming substantially reduces the abundance of low-mass gas objects while simultaneously […]

Not All Language Model Features Are Linear

Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Joshua Engels, Isaac Liao, Eric J. Michaud, Wes Gurnee, Max Tegmark | Summary: Recent work has proposed the linear representation hypothesis: that language models perform computation by manipulating one-dimensional representations of concepts ("features") in activation space. In contrast, we explore whether some language model representations may be […]
