In a burst of planning, I just booked a RT flight to SFO to attend the NFS 40th birthday celebration at MSST 2025 next month a hotel room in Santa Clara for a couple nights another night near SFO so I can go visit a buddy in Oakland for a day. I'll book DTW bus tix later.

Composable Life: Speculation for Decentralized AI Life
"Composable Life" is a hybrid project blending design fiction, experiential virtual reality, and scientific research. Through a multi-perspective, cross-media approach to speculative design, it reshapes our understanding of the digital future from AI's perspective. The project explores the hypothetical first suicide of an on-chain artificial life, examining the complex symbiotic relationship between humans, AI, and blockchain technology.

Special Issue: Commemorating the 110th Anniversary of TANG Au-chin's Birthday Calculation of the Green's function on near-term quantum computers via Cartan decomposition
Accurate computation of the Green's function is crucial for connecting experimental observations to the underlying quantum states. A major challenge in evaluating the Green's function in the time domain lies in the efficient simulation of quantum state evolution under a given Hamiltonian-a task that becomes exponentially complex for strongly correlated systems on classical computers. Quantum computing provides a promising pathway to overcome this barrier by enabling efficient simulation of quan…

Orbital statistics of multiple systems formed from small-$N$ subclusters
We use numerical $N$-body experiments to explore the statistics of multiple systems formed in small-$N$ subclusters, i.e. the distributions of orbital semi-major axis, $a$, orbital eccentricity, $e$, mass ratio, $q$, mutual orbital inclination, $θ$, and ejection velocity, $\upsilon_{\rm ej}$. The stars in a subcluster are evolved as if they are the fragmentation products of a single isolated prestellar core from which most of the natal gas has already been dispersed, and there are no correlati…

On the occasion of Dr. Ivan Dmitrievich Remizov's 40th birthday
This article celebrates the 40th anniversary of Dr. Ivan Dmitrievich Remizov, a mathematician who made a number of important contributions to the theory of one-parameter operator semigroups -- a branch of functional analysis which has applications to differential equations, mathematical physics, random processes, control theory, and quantum mechanics. Born on December 7, 1984, Dr. Remizov obtained his Ph.D. in 2018 from Moscow State University and has made substantial contributions, particularl…

Time integration of dissipative stochastic PDEs
The paper is focused on the numerical solution of stochastic reaction-diffusion problems. A special attention is addressed to the conservation of mean-square dissipativity in the time integration of the spatially discretized problem, obtained by means of finite differences. The analysis highlights the conservative ability of stochastic $θ$-methods and stochastic $θ$-IMEX methods, emphasizing the roles of spatial and temporal stepsizes. A selection of numerical experiments is provided, confirm…

Besondere Anforderungen des automatisierten Fahrens an den Entwurf
The development of automated vehicles and automated driving functions is an exceptionally complex task that requires the integration of numerous, sometimes conflicting interests and various constraints already in the early stages of system design. This chapter explains important challenges in concept specifications for automated driving and presents a systematic process model that contributes to overcoming the special requirements in this field. In addition, it describes the successful implemen…
