Thermal effects in conformal field theories
Conformal Field Theories (CFTs) are special classes of quantum field theories that find applications ranging from critical phenomena to theories of quantum gravity via holography. Understanding thermal effects in CFTs is crucial: criticality is experimentally probed at finite temperature, and, from the holographic perspective, the study of thermal CFTs is dual to the study of black holes in Anti-de Sitter space. In this thesis, we explore the kinematics and dynamics of finite-temperature CFTs b…

Generation and manipulation of photon number wave packets in photonic cavities
Quantum emitters inside optical cavities can create not only fixed photon number states but also photon number wave packets, which are states with a finite photon number distribution that oscillates in time. These states emerge when the emitter is driven by an external field while coupled to the cavity. We show that by rapidly changing the driving strength, new wave packets can be generated, allowing multiple packets to coexist and evolve independently. We classify the resulting wave packet beh…

Got the modded PS1 (SCPH-5501) connected to the PVM via a gwscart switch using RGB (CSYNC). The switch doesn't seem to have any issues with the signal coming in from the PS1, and the Retro Gaming Cables cable (EuroSCART -> RGB Sync Audio) is absolute quality. If it weren't for Silksong at the moment, I'd be jumping into some retro games.

i guess most people don´t realize how amazing the last days have been, having grok-code for free 😍🚀
2000 phpstan/mago/whatever errors/warnings in your code ?
no problem, let's fix them 😁 thank you so much @thdxr ❤️ #xai
