Contributions to the Theory of Clifford-Cyclotomic Circuits
Let $n$ be a positive integer divisible by 8. The Clifford-cyclotomic gate set $\mathcal{G}_n$ consists of the Clifford gates, together with a $z$-rotation of order $n$. It is easy to show that, if a circuit over $\mathcal{G}_n$ represents a unitary matrix $U$, then the entries of $U$ must lie in $\mathcal{R}_n$, the smallest subring of $\mathbb{C}$ containing $1/2$ and $\mathrm{exp}(2πi/n)$. The converse implication, that every unitary $U$ with entries in $\mathcal{R}_n$ can be represented by…

Risk-based framework to determine climate-informed design storms for road drainage infrastructure
Climate change is amplifying extreme precipitation events in many regions and imposes substantial challenges for the resilience of road drainage infrastructure. Conventional design storm methodologies, which rely on historical trends of rainfall data under a stationarity assumption, may not adequately account for future climate variability. This study introduces a risk-based framework for determining climate-informed design storms tailored to road drainage systems. The proposed framework integr…

Strongly resonant polarization dynamics of pulse trains in a spin-flip model for an excitable microlaser with delayed self-feedback
Motivated by recent experimental observations concerning the polarization dynamics in an excitable microlaser with saturable absorber coupled to an external feedback mirror reported in [Ruschel et al. (2025) Opt. Lett. 50 (8) 2618], we propose here an in-depth theoretical investigation of the locked dynamics of regenerative vectorial pulse trains that this system produces. We perform a numerical bifurcation analysis of self-sustained pulse trains of a corresponding spin-flip model with delayed …

Water Detection in the Interstellar Object 3I/ATLAS
We report the first detection of water activity in the third confirmed interstellar object, 3I/ATLAS, based on ultraviolet imaging with the \emph{Neil Gehrels-Swift Observatory}. Observations acquired with the Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope on 2025 July 31st - Aug 1st revealed OH (A$^2Σ$ -- X$^2Π$) emission near 3085~Å. The water production rate results highly depend on the reddening assumption. For a reddening of 38.6\% between 5437.8~Å and 3325.7~Å, the water production rate is $(1.35 \pm…
