Stable electro-optic modulators using thin-film lithium tantalate
We demonstrate electro-optic modulators realized in low-loss thin-film lithium tantalate with superior DC-stability (<1 dB power fluctuation from quadrature with 12.1 dBm input) compared to equivalent thin-film lithium niobate modulators (5 dB fluctuation) over 46 hours.

SA development is so slow and trust-based that I can’t imagine us ever getting an ‘over the transom’ submission of LLM-generated code and paying any attention to it.
Rules are a different story, as those just need to prove themselves in QA. We've already got some rules that are algorithmically generated, but no one claims that to be “AI" and a trusted human does the commit before RuleQA gets to put them to the test.

Solving Data-centric Tasks using Large Language Models
Large language models (LLMs) are rapidly replacing help forums like StackOverflow, and are especially helpful for non-professional programmers and end users. These users are often interested in data-centric tasks, such as spreadsheet manipulation and data wrangling, which are hard to solve if the intent is only communicated using a natural-language description, without including the data. But how do we decide how much data and which data to include in the prompt? This paper makes two contributi…

Affleck-Dine Dirac Leptogenesis
We present a minimal framework that realises successful Dirac Leptogenesis through the Affleck-Dine mechanism. A single right-handed neutrino and a neutrinophillic Higgs doublet are introduced to the Standard Model, which couple via a Yukawa interaction. The inflationary setting is induced by a combination of the two Higgs doublets, with their global symmetry violating interactions leading to a net charge generation via the Affleck-Dine mechanism. This simple Standard Model extension exhibits a…
