Quantum versus Classical Descriptions of Spontaneous Emission in Nanophotonic Cavities
physics.opticsJian-Hua Liang, Yue You, Xi-Hua Guan, Xiao-Jing Du
Here, we demonstrate that quantum and classical descriptions generally yield different results for the spontaneous emission in nanophotonic cavities. Starting from the quantized single-mode field in a general context of dispersive and lossy cavities, we derive the expression for emission rate enhancement as well as key relevant parameters such as mode volume

nucl-thJan Steinheimer, Tom Reichert, Marcus Bleicher
Nuclear experiments near and below the threshold of hyperon production have shown that the production of Kaons is a sensitive probe for the dense QCD equation of state. At beam energies up to 1.5AGeV, strangeness production can probe the equation of state for densities up to approximately twice nuclear saturation. In this paper we will discuss the possibilit

We consider expansions for the kernels of operator functions of second-order minimal operators on a curved background. We show that the terms of these expansions originate in the ultraviolet or infrared regions. We propose a systematic approach to obtaining ultraviolet terms using term-by-term integration of the DeWitt expansion of the heat kernel. We discus

Validation is a central activity when developing formal specifications. Similarly to coding, a possible validation technique is to define upfront test cases or scenarios that a future specification should satisfy or not. Unfortunately, specifying such test cases is burdensome and error prone, which could cause users to skip this validation task. This paper r

When serving a single base LLM with several different LoRA adapters simultaneously, the adapters cannot simply be merged with the base model's weights as the adapter swapping would create overhead and requests using different adapters could not be batched. Rather, the LoRA computations have to be separated from the base LLM computations, and in a multi-devic

These essential components must be separated from blood in well-designed experimental setups. If active techniques are used, the blood components are likely to be damaged or contaminated while handling. Passive techniq

Emerging altermagnets with zero net magnetic moment and moment-dependent spin splitting offer a promising avenue for antiferromagnetic spintronic devices, yet their integration into magnetic tunnel junctions has been hindered by reliance on ferromagnetic electrodes (introducing stray fields) or by limited functionality (non-tunable magnetoresistance without

Nowadays a bit is no longer a mere abstraction but a physical quantity whose manipulation governs both operation of modern technologies and theoretical frontiers of fundamental science. In this work we propose a setup in which the memory time can be utilized to control the generation and storage of binary information. In particular, we consider a nonequilibr
Existence and multiplicity results for the zero mass Schr\"{o}dinger-Bopp-Podolsky system with critical growth
math.APWentao Huang, Li Wang
In this paper we study the following zero mass Schr\"{o}dinger-Bopp-Podolsky system with critical growth \[ \begin{cases} -\Delta u +q^2\phi u=\mu|u|^{p-2}u+|u|^4u\\ -\Delta \phi+a^2\Delta^2\phi=4\pi u^2, \end{cases} \] where $a>0$, $q\neq0$, $\mu>0$ is a parameter and $p\in(3,6)$. By introducing a new functional framework developed by Caponio et al. \cite{C

We construct some Iwahori types, in the sense of Bushnell-Kutzko, for the double cover of an almost simple simply-laced simply-connected Chevalley group $\widetilde{G}$ over any $2$-adic field. These types capture the covering group analog of the Bernstein block of unramified principal series. We also prove that the associated Hecke algebra essentially admit

Circuit discovery, which involves identifying sparse and task-relevant subnetworks in pre-trained language models, is a cornerstone of mechanistic interpretability. Automated Circuit Discovery (ACDC) has emerged as a pivotal methodology in circuit discovery, but its application to large language models is severely limited by computational inefficiency and pr

Naturally reductive manifolds are an important class of Riemannian manifolds because they provide examples that generalize the locally symmetric ones. A property is said to be inaudible if there exists a unitary operator which intertwines the Laplace-Beltrami operator of two Riemannian manifolds such that one of them satisfies the property and the other does
Moderating Role of Presence in EEG Responses to Visuo-haptic Prediction Error in Virtual Reality
cs.HCLukas Gehrke, Leonie Terfurth, Klaus Gramann
Virtual reality (VR) can create compelling experiences that evoke presence, the sense of ``being there.'' However, problems in rendering can create sensorimotor disruptions that undermine presence and task performance. Presence is typically assessed with post-hoc questionnaires, but their coarse temporal resolution limits insight into how sensorimotor disrup

Time series segmentation is a fundamental task in analyzing temporal data across various domains, from human activity recognition to energy monitoring. While numerous state-of-the-art methods have been developed to tackle this problem, the evaluation of their performance remains critically limited. Existing measures predominantly focus on change point accura

The Virgo cluster is one of the closest clusters to us where we can further study the evolution of galaxies, with several infalling substructures and several filaments around it have been reported. Therefore, it makes this cluster and its surrounding an interesting place to study the spatial distribution of the population of dwarf and bright giant galaxies.

Traditional clustering algorithms often struggle with high-dimensional and non-uniformly distributed data, where low-density boundary samples are easily disturbed by neighboring clusters, leading to unstable and distorted clustering results. To address this issue, we propose a Group-driven Clustering via Gravitational Attraction and Optimization (GCAO) algor
Deep Active Inference with Diffusion Policy and Multiple Timescale World Model for Real-World Exploration and Navigation
cs.RORiko Yokozawa, Kentaro Fujii, Yuta Nomura, Shingo Murata
Autonomous robotic navigation in real-world environments requires exploration to acquire environmental information as well as goal-directed navigation in order to reach specified targets. Active inference (AIF) based on the free-energy principle provides a unified framework for these behaviors by minimizing the expected free energy (EFE), thereby combining e

We investigate CP-violating effects in electroweak interactions at future high-energy muon colliders within the Standard Model Effective Field Theory (SMEFT) framework. Focusing on four dimension-six CP-odd operators -- $ \mathcal{O}_{\widetilde{W}}, \mathcal{O}_{H\widetilde{W}}, \mathcal{O}_{H\widetilde{W}B}, \mathcal{O}_{H\widetilde{B}}$ -- we analyze vect

For a non-elementary subgroup of the mapping class group of a surface, we study its invariant Radon measures on the space of measured laminations, by classifying them on the recurrent measured laminations. In particular, given a divergence-type subgroup, we show the uniquely ergodic by explicitly constructing the ergodic measure. This generalizes Lindenstrau

We study in-context learning problems where a Transformer is pretrained on tasks drawn from a mixture distribution $\pi=\sum_{\alpha\in\mathcal{A}} \lambda_{\alpha} \pi_{\alpha}$, called the pretraining prior, in which each mixture component $\pi_{\alpha}$ is a distribution on tasks of a specific difficulty level indexed by $\alpha$. Our goal is to understan
