Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Fanhao Shen, Yujie Ji, Debin Xiang, Yanzhe Wang, Ke Wang | Summary: Quantum random access memory (QRAM) enables efficient classical data access for quantum computers — a prerequisite for many quantum algorithms to achieve quantum speedup. Despite various proposals, the experimental realization of QRAM remains largely unexplored. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Ruiming Chen, Junming Yang, Shiyu Xia, Xu Yang, Jing Wang | Summary: CLIP (Contrastive Language-Image Pre-training) has attracted widespread attention for its multimodal generalizable knowledge, which is significant for downstream tasks. However, the computational overhead of a large number of parameters and large-scale pre-training poses challenges of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Rayna Rampalli, Melissa K. Ness, Elisabeth R. Newton, Andrew Vanderburg, Tobias Buck | Summary: We explore how the correlation between host star metallicity and giant planets shapes hot Jupiter occurrence as a function of Galactic birth radius (rbirth) and phase-space density in the Milky Way disk. Using […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Alice M. Luna, Alexander P. Ji, Anirudh Chiti, Joshua D. Simon, Daniel D. Kelson | Summary: Star formation in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies (UFDs, $M_* <10^5M_odot$) is suppressed by reionization, but may not be completely quenched. The metallicity distribution function (MDF) of stars in ultra-faint dwarf galaxies could […]
Kavli Affiliate: Igor V. Moskalenko | First 5 Authors: Tsunefumi Mizuno, Katsuhiro Hayashi, Hinako Ochi, Igor V. Moskalenko, Elena Orlando | Summary: To investigate the interstellar medium (ISM) and Galactic cosmic rays (CRs) in the solar neighborhood, we analyzed ${gamma}$-ray data by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) for five nearby molecular cloud regions. Our data […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sven Herrmann | First 5 Authors: Zachary Metzler, Nicholas Kirschner, Lucas Smith, Nicholas Cannady, Makoto Sasaki | Summary: ComPair, a prototype of the All-sky Medium Energy Gamma-ray Observatory (AMEGO), completed a short-duration high-altitude balloon campaign on August 27, 2023 from Fort Sumner, New Mexico, USA. The goal of the balloon flight was the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Hitoshi Murayama, Bea Noether, Jan Schütte-Engel, , | Summary: Leptogenesis is arguably the best motivated theory of baryogenesis given the discovery of finite neutrino masses, yet its experimental test is elusive given its high energy scale. We discuss gravitational waves (GWs) produced via graviton bremsstrahlung in right-handed […]
Kavli Affiliate: Max Tegmark | First 5 Authors: Xiaoqing Sun, Alessandro Stolfo, Joshua Engels, Ben Wu, Senthooran Rajamanoharan | Summary: Sparse autoencoders (SAEs) are designed to extract interpretable features from language models by enforcing a sparsity constraint. Ideally, training an SAE would yield latents that are both sparse and semantically meaningful. However, many SAE latents […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Sam A. Usman, Alexander P. Ji, Jandrie Rodriguez, Jeffrey D. Simpson, Sarah L. Martell | Summary: We present the first high-resolution abundance study of ESO 280-SC06, one of the least luminous and most metal-poor gravitationally bound Milky Way globular clusters. Using Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy for ten stars, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Toshiyuki Kobayashi | First 5 Authors: Toshiyuki Kobayashi, , , , | Summary: This exposition presents recent developments on proper actions, highlighting their connections to representation theory. It begins with geometric aspects, including criteria for the properness of homogeneous spaces in the setting of reductive groups. We then explore the interplay between the […]
