Learning Generalizable Shape Completion with SIM(3) Equivariance
3D shape completion methods typically assume scans are pre-aligned to a canonical frame. This leaks pose and scale cues that networks may exploit to memorize absolute positions rather than inferring intrinsic geometry. When such alignment is absent in real data, performance collapses. We argue that robust generalization demands architectural equivariance to the similarity group, SIM(3), so the model remains agnostic to pose and scale. Following this principle, we introduce the first SIM(3)-equi…

Photonic Simulation of Beyond-Quantum Nonlocal Correlations (e.g. Popescu-Rohrlich Box) with Non-Signaling Quantum Resources
Bell nonlocality exemplifies the most profound departure of quantum theory from classical realism. Yet, the extent of nonlocality in quantum theory is intrinsically bounded, falling short of the correlations permitted by the relativistic causality (the no-signaling) principle. A paradigmatic example is the Popescu-Rohrlich correlation: two distant parties sharing arbitrary entanglement cannot achieve this correlation, though it can be simulated with classical communication between them. Here we…

Solar Low Energy X-ray Spectrometer on board Aditya-L1: Ground Calibration and In-flight Performance
The Solar Low-Energy X-ray Spectrometer (SoLEXS) on board India's Aditya-L1 mission was launched on 2 September 2023 and commenced solar observations on 13 December 2023 following successful aperture cover deployment. Operating from the Sun-Earth L1 Lagrange point, SoLEXS has been providing continuous Sun-as-a-star soft X-ray spectroscopy across 2-22 keV with 170 eV resolution at 5.9 keV and 1-second temporal cadence since 6 January 2024. The instrument employs two Silicon Drift Detectors with …
