Observation of stability of Gaussian beams and off-axis beam-cleaning in graded-index media

Kavli Affiliate: Frank W. Wise | First 5 Authors: Varun Sharma, Varun Sharma, , , | Summary: While nonlinear effects in graded-index (GRIN) multimode fibers have been studied extensively, little is known about nonlinear effects in larger GRIN waveguides, where the number of modes approaches infinity and modal dispersion becomes negligible. Here we show that […]

Nonadiabatic force matching for alchemical free-energy estimation

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Jorge L. Rosa-Raíces, Jorge L. Rosa-Raíces, , , | Summary: We propose a method to compute free energies from nonadiabatic alchemical transformations using diffusion-denoising generative models. The method, nonadiabatic force matching, hinges on estimating — rather than minimizing — the dissipation along an alchemical transition as […]

Nonadiabatic force matching for alchemical free-energy estimation

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Jorge L. Rosa-Raíces, Jorge L. Rosa-Raíces, , , | Summary: We propose a method to compute free-energy differences from nonadiabatic alchemical transformations using flow-based generative models. The method, nonadiabatic force matching, hinges on estimating the dissipation along an alchemical switching process in terms of a nonadiabatic […]

Robust Live Streaming over LEO Satellite Constellations: Measurement, Analysis, and Handover-Aware Adaptation

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Hao Fang, Hao Fang, , , | Summary: Live streaming has experienced significant growth recently. Yet this rise in popularity contrasts with the reality that a substantial segment of the global population still lacks Internet access. The emergence of Low Earth orbit Satellite Networks (LSNs), such as […]

Electron Ptychography Images Hydrogen Atom Superlattices and 3D Inhomogeneities in Palladium Hydride Nanoparticles

Kavli Affiliate: David A. Muller | First 5 Authors: Zixiao Shi, Zixiao Shi, , , | Summary: When hydrogen atoms occupy interstitial sites in metal lattices, they form metal hydrides (MHx), whose structural and electronic properties can differ significantly from the host metals. Owing to the small size of hydrogen atom and its unique interactions […]
