Scientists have taken a major step toward ultra-secure quantum communication by demonstrating a remarkably stable quantum encryption system that worked across more than 120 kilometers of optical fiber
Physicists may have just cracked open a hidden side of the quantum world. For decades, every known particle was thought to belong to one of two categories — bosons or fermions — but researchers have n
Researchers have developed a sensor about the size of a grain of rice that can measure forces and twisting motions in all directions using light instead of traditional electronics. The new sensor coul
Over the past few decades, some physicists worldwide have been investigating unusual particle-like magnetic structures known as topological solitons. These structures could potentially be leveraged to
Scientists may have uncovered a surprising secret behind why life exists at all. A new study suggests that the Universe’s fundamental constants — the deep physical rules that govern everything from at
In a process analogous to how solids melt into liquids, the electrons in many different metals form crystal-like patterns that can deform and melt, opening new pathways for neuromorphic computing and
Researchers have developed, for the first time in the world, incoherent dielectric tensor tomography (iDTT), a technology that can read complex three-dimensional optical fingerprints inside materials
For years, quantum computers have lived under a huge bubble of hype, promising to revolutionize numerous fields, from medicine and battery design to materials science and cybersecurity. But realizing
Lidar systems use pulses of infrared light to measure distance and map a 3D scene with high resolution, allowing autonomous vehicles to rapidly react to obstacles that appear in their path. But tradit
This work introduces a novel, nonparametric pixel-based framework for the Bayesian inference and imaging of transverse momentum dependent (TMD) parton distributions. The methodology is built upon a fully differentiable framework that integrates TMD evolution with the Collins-Soper-Sterman formalism,
We introduce a new strategy for compositional neural surrogates for radiation-matter interactions, a key task spanning domains from particle physics through nuclear and space engineering to medical physics. Exploiting the locality and the Markov nature of particle interactions, we create a \emph{nex
In this paper we revisit, from a different perspective, a long-standing question: ``Is the systematic deficit observed in all branching ratios mediated by a $b\to s μμ$ transition due to New Physics, or to a hypothetical constant unknown universal hadronic contribution that mimics New Physics?'' The
We present a new set of lattice QCD ensembles with four flavors of smeared Möbius Domain Wall Fermions with good chiral symmetry and small fifth-dimensional extent. A modest amount of computing resources was sufficient to generate 30 publicly-available ensembles spanning five lattice spacings and a
The singlet axial form factor of the nucleon provides essential input for a complete understanding of the nucleon axial structure. Together with the isovector and isoscalar octet channels, in the forward limit it forms the basis for a full flavor decomposition of the proton spin. In this work we pre
The Hagedorn regime of string theory is usually understood as an equilibrium limiting phenomenon: the exponential growth of the density of states makes the canonical partition function singular at the Hagedorn temperature, while in the microcanonical description additional energy is absorbed predomi
We develop a quantum spin-density-matrix framework for heavy-quark spin dynamics in relativistic heavy-ion collisions. Starting from an initial polarization induced along the magnetic-field direction, we derive the evolution equation for spin polarization within this framework and obtain analytic so
The leading Generalized Transverse Momentum Dependent parton distributions (GTMDs) are studied in the bag model. The model description is shown to be theoretically consistent. The orbital angular momentum is studied in terms of the GTMD $F_{1,4}^q$ and Ji sum rule. Analytical proofs of the associate
