By studying experimental data for invariant transverse momentum distribution $f(p_{T})$ of hadrons in high energy $pp$, $p$A and AA collisions, we find two characteristic $p_{T}$ points relating to the behavior of $\left[\ln f(p_{T})\right]^{''}$, i.e., the second derivative of the logarithm of hadronic $p_{T}$ spectrum with respect to $p_{T}$. One point is

Consider the stochastic PDE, $\partial_tu = \partial^2_x u + σ(u) \dot{W}$ on $\mathbb{R}_+\times\mathbb{R}$, subject to $u(0)\equiv1$, where $\dot{W}$ denotes space-time white noise on $\mathbb{R}_+\times\mathbb{R}$ and $σ:\mathbb{R}\to\mathbb{R}$ is Lipschitz continuous.

Efficiency, as a critical practical challenge for LLM-driven agentic and reasoning systems, is increasingly constrained by the inherent latency of autoregressive (AR) decoding. Speculative decoding mitigates this cost through a draft-verify scheme, yet existing approaches rely on AR draft models (a.k.a., drafters), which introduce two fundamental issues: (1)

Quad-helicoid surface states (QHSSs) are unique surface states with two pairs of helicoid surface states in topological semimetals such as Dirac semimetals. So far, topologically protected QHSSs are shown to appear in spinless systems with two $\mathcal{GT}$ symmetries and $\mathcal{T}$ symmetry ($\mathcal{G}$: glide, $\mathcal{T}$: time-reversal).

Grover's search algorithm is the cornerstone of many applications of quantum computing, providing a quadratic speed-up over classical methods. One limitation of the algorithm is that it requires knowledge of the number of solutions to obtain an optimal success probability, due to the oscillatory dynamics between the initial and solution states (the ``sou

We define an invariant $(W_3)_m$ for $\pi_0\mathrm{Diff}(\natural_m S^1\times D^3,\partial)$ for $m\geq 1$ that generalizes Budney--Gabai's $W_3$ invariant. We give a computational framework inspired by Budney--Gabai and use it to calculate the invariant for all unknotted barbell difeomorphisms of $\natural_m S^1\times D^3$ for $m=1,2$. This allows us to det

This technical report introduces Uni-Parser, an industrial-grade document parsing engine tailored for scientific literature and patents, delivering high throughput, robust accuracy, and cost efficiency. Unlike pipeline-based document parsing methods, Uni-Parser employs a modular, loosely coupled multi-expert architecture that preserves fine-grained cross-mod

New magic numbers have been discovered in the neutron-rich region of the nuclear chart. However, there has been a lack of research on proton-rich nuclei. $^{22}$O, the mirror nucleus of $^{22}$Si, is a double-magic nucleus bearing a high $E(2_1^+)$. Whether $^{22}$Si exhibits double-magic characters is an intriguing topic. To investigate this matter, we util

This thesis investigates late-time cosmic acceleration using modified gravity theories with a focus on $f(Q)$ gravity, as an alternative to the $\Lambda$CDM model. The standard cosmological model attributes the acceleration to a cosmological constant, but it faces issues like the unexplained nature of dark matter and dark energy and discrepancies with certai

We consider the discrimination of two-party quantum states and provide a quantum data-hiding scheme using two-qubit separable states. We first provide a bound on the optimal local discrimination of two-party quantum states, and establish a sufficient condition under which a two-party quantum state ensemble can be used to construct a data-hiding scheme. We il
Trend Extrapolation for Technology Forecasting: Leveraging LSTM Neural Networks for Trend Analysis of Space Exploration Vessels
cs.LGPeng-Hung Tsai, Daniel Berleant
Forecasting technological advancement in complex domains such as space exploration presents significant challenges due to the intricate interaction of technical, economic, and policy-related factors. The field of technology forecasting has long relied on quantitative trend extrapolation techniques, such as growth curves (e.g., Moore's law) and time series mo

The equation of state of hot, dense nuclear matter plays a fundamental role in many areas. However, owing to the nonperturbative nature of strong interactions, a reliable treatment is still under debate. We use a symmetry-preserving treatment of a vector\,$\otimes$\,vector contact interaction to study related issues at nonzero temperature or quark chemical p

Foundation models (FMs) are driving a prominent shift in biomedical imaging from task-specific models to unified backbone models for diverse tasks. This opens an avenue to integrate imaging, pathology, clinical records, and genomics data into a composite system. However, this vision contrasts sharply with modern medicine's trajectory toward more granular

We study impacts of spin-orbit interactions on the spin susceptibility in quasicrystal superconductors, motivated by the anomolous superconducting properties in the van der Waals quasicrystal Ta$_{1.6}$Te under magnetic fields. We consider the Penrose tiling model with $s$-wave pairing as a representative system and include anisotropic spin-orbit interaction

Intelligent reflecting surface (IRS) and movable antenna (MA) are promising technologies to enhance wireless communication by reconfiguring channels at the environment and transceiver sides. However, their performance is constrained by practical limitations. To address this, we propose a multi-functional antenna/surface system that leverages their complement

Using a 10.9 fb$^{-1}$ data sample collected by the BESIII detector at center-of-mass energies from 4.16 to 4.34 GeV, we search for the charmless decays $X(3872) \to K_{S}^{0}K^{\pm}\pi^{\mp}$ and $K^*(892)\bar{K}$, where the $X(3872)$ is produced via the radiative process $e^+e^- \to \gamma X(3872)$. No significant signal is observed. We set upper limits on

Triangular-lattice cobaltates with glaserite-type $X_2Y$Co($T$O$_4)_2$ structure provide an ideal platform to investigate intriguing quantum magnetism. Here we report a comprehensive study of the structural and magnetic properties of a triangular-lattice cobalt vanadate $\rm Na_2SrCo(VO_4)_2$. Room-temperature x-ray and neutron powder diffraction confirm tha

Large language models (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive performance across various language tasks. However, existing LLM reasoning strategies mainly rely on the LLM itself with fast or slow mode (like o1 thinking) and thus struggle to balance reasoning efficiency and accuracy across queries of varying difficulties. In this paper, we propose Cognitive-Inspi

Stochastic differential equations (SDEs) driven by fractional Brownian motion (fBm) are increasingly used to model systems with rough dynamics and long-range dependence, such as those arising in quantitative finance and reliability engineering. However, these processes are non-Markovian and lack a semimartingale structure, rendering many classical parameter

Microwave storage and retrieval are essential capabilities for superconducting quantum circuits. Here, we demonstrate an on-chip multimode resonator in which strong parametric modulation induces a large and tunable normal-mode splitting that enables microwave storage. When the spectral bandwidth of a short microwave pulse covers the two dressed-state absorpt

Operator learning has become a powerful tool for accelerating the solution of parameterized partial differential equations (PDEs), enabling rapid prediction of full spatiotemporal fields for new initial conditions or forcing functions. Existing architectures such as DeepONet and the Fourier Neural Operator (FNO) show strong empirical performance but often re
