Narrowing the discovery space of the cosmological 21-cm signal using multi-wavelength constraints

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Jiten Dhandha, Jiten Dhandha, , , | Summary: The cosmic 21-cm signal is a promising probe of the early Universe, owing to its sensitivity to the thermal state of the neutral intergalactic medium (IGM) and properties of the first luminous sources. In this work, we constrain the […]

X-ray selected broad absorption line quasars in SDSS-V: BALs and non-BALs span the same range of X-ray properties

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Broad absorption line (BAL) quasars are often considered X-ray weak relative to their optical/UV luminosity, whether intrinsically (i.e., the coronal emission is fainter) or due to large column densities of absorbing material. The SDSS-V is providing optical spectroscopy for samples of […]

Schrödingerization for quantum linear systems problems

Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yin Yang, Yin Yang, , , | Summary: We develop a quantum algorithm for linear algebraic equations Ax=b from the perspective of Schr"odingerization-form problems, which are characterized by a system of linear convection equations in one higher dimension. When A is positive definite, the solution x can […]

Benchmarking spike source localization algorithms in high density probes

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Hao Zhao, Hao Zhao, , , | Summary: Estimating neuron location from extracellular recordings is essential for developing advanced brain-machine interfaces. Accurate neuron localization improves spike sorting, which involves detecting action potentials and assigning them to individual neurons. It also helps monitor probe drift, which affects long-term […]

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 […]

Probing Purely Inelastic Scalar Dark Matter Across Colliders and Gravitational Wave Observatories

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Jinhui Guo, Jinhui Guo, , , | Summary: We propose and study a purely inelastic scalar dark matter model, where two real scalars-dark matter $phi_1$ and its excited partner $phi_2$ interact with the Standard Model via a Higgs portal. After mass diagonalization, only inelastic couplings remain, allowing […]

Quantum sensing of electron beams using solid-state spins

Kavli Affiliate: Robert L. Byer | First 5 Authors: Jakob M. Grzesik, Jakob M. Grzesik, , , | Summary: Scattering experiments with energetic particles, such as free electrons, have been historically used to reveal the quantum structure of matter. However, realizing coherent interactions between free-electron beams and solid-state quantum systems has remained out of reach, […]
