Wenn alte weiße Männer™ über „Gutmenschentum“ herziehen, suchen sie sich als cool und hart zu inszenieren. Aber das Gegenteil von „Gutmensch“ ist nicht „Badass“ sondern „von sich selbst eingenommener Jammerlappen“.

Goodman-Strauss theorem revisited
The Goodman-Strauss theorem states that for ``almost every" substitution, the family of substitution tilings is sofic, that is, it can be defined by local rules for some decoration of tiles. The conditions on the substitution that guarantee the soficity are not stated explicitly, but are scattered throughout the proof. In this paper we propose a version of Goodman-Strauss theorem in which the conditions on the substitution are stated explicitly. Although the conditions are quite restrictive, …

High-fidelity two-qubit gates with transmon qubits using bipolar flux pulses and tunable couplers
High-fidelity two-qubit gates are essential for scalable quantum computing. We present a scheme based on superconducting transmon qubits and a control pulse delivery protocol that enables arbitrary controlled-phase gates modulated solely by an independent arbitrary waveform generator pulse. We combined a tunable coupler design with bipolar flux-pulsing to demonstrate a high-fidelity gate with a performance of $99.5\%$. Our gates inherit the advantages of both approaches: minimal residual ZZ cou…

Do both black holes spin in merging binaries? Evidence from GWTC-4 and astrophysical implications
Angular momentum transport in high-mass stars is commonly modeled by extrapolating the behavior of better-observed low-mass stars. According to the conventional picture, the cores of most black hole progenitors lose almost all of their angular momentum when their outer layers are ejected before core collapse. Accordingly, most black holes are expected to be born with dimensionless spin magnitudes of $χ\lesssim 0.01$, even if some black holes are born with non-negligible spin due to tidal inter…

Magnetic Fields in the Bones of the Milky Way
Stars primarily form in galactic spiral arms within dense, filamentary molecular clouds. The largest and most elongated of these molecular clouds are referred to as ``bones," which are massive, velocity-coherent filaments (lengths ~20 to >100 pc, widths ~1-2 pc) that run approximately parallel and in close proximity to the Galactic plane. While these bones have been generally well characterized, the importance and structure of their magnetic fields (B-fields) remain largely unconstrained. Throu…

Signatures of broken symmetries in the excitations of a periodic 2DEG coupled to a cylindrical photon cavity
In a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in a periodic lateral superlattice subjected to an external homogeneous magnetic field and in a cylindrical far-infrared photon cavity we search for effects of broken symmetries: Static ones, stemming from the unit cell of the system, and the external magnetic field together with the dynamic ones caused by the vector potential of the cavity promoting magnetic types of transitions, and the chirality of the excitation pulse. The Coulomb interaction of the …

Existence and bounds of growth constants for restricted walks, surfaces, and generalisations
We introduce classes of restricted walks, surfaces and their generalisations. For example, self-osculating walks (SOWs) are supersets of self-avoiding walks (SAWs) where edges are still not allowed to cross but may 'kiss' at a vertex. They are analogous to osculating polygons introduced in (Jensen and Guttmann, 1998) except that they are not required to be closed. The 'automata' method of (Pönitz and Tittmann, 2000) can be adapted to such restricted walks. For example, we prove upper bounds fo…
