Extrapolating Exclusive Charmonium Photoproduction to the Forward Regime Using Gaussian Process
Accessing the forward kinematic regime of exclusive vector meson photoproduction is essential for probing the structure of the proton, yet this region is often experimentally inaccessible. We present a novel extrapolation of near-threshold $γp \to J/ψp$ differential cross section data to the forward regime $dσ/dt|_{t=0}$ by applying a non-parametric Gaussian Process (GP) regression. By employing a two-dimensional GP dependent on both the squared momentum transfer $t$ and the center-of-m…

Surpassing Carnot efficiency with relativistic motion
Relativistic thermal devices offer a unique platform for understanding the interplay between motion, quantum fields, and thermodynamics, revealing phenomena inaccessible to stationary systems. We consider a two-qubit SWAP heat engine whose working medium consists of inertially moving Unruh-DeWitt qubit detectors, each coupled to a scalar quantum field in thermal equilibrium at a distinct temperature. Relativistic motion causes the qubits to perceive frequency-dependent effective temperatures th…

Persistent Interfacial Topological Hall Effect Demonstrating Electrical Readout of Topological Spin Structures in Insulators
Conventional topological Hall effects (THE) require conducting magnets, leaving insulating systems largely inaccessible. Here we introduce the interfacial topological Hall effect (ITHE), where the noncoplanar spin textures of insulating magnets are imprinted onto an adjacent heavy metal via the magnetic proximity effect (MPE) and detected electrically. In Pt/h-LuFeO3 bilayers, h-LuFeO3 hosts a topological spin structure robust against high magnetic fields, arising from a 120° triangular spin l…

Yup, the hard part isn’t writing code.
I’m always a bit cautious of the argument that the barriers are a good thing. That easily slips into harmful gatekeeping if we aren’t careful. It’s not good when programming is inaccessible or unwelcoming.
What •is• good is that writing code slows you down and (if you’re good) makes you •think• about what the heck you’re doing — the work @… is talking about — with a depth and detail that no amount of chin-stroking and up-front design work can match. Skipping that work, however you skip it, is a false gain.

Complex states of quantum gravity in flat and AdS gravity can have features that are inaccessible to classical asymptotic observers. The missing information appears to such observers to be hidden behind a horizon or in a baby universe. Here we use the gravitational path integral to ask whether quantum observables can access the hidden data. We show that generic probes give a universal result and contain no information about the state. However, a probe appropriately fine-tuned to the state can g…

Periodic driving is used to steer physical systems to unique stationary states or nonequilibrium steady states (NESS), producing enhanced properties inaccessible to non-driven systems. For open quantum systems, characterizing the NESS is challenging and existing results are generally limited to specific types of driving and the Born-Markov approximation. Here we go beyond these limits by studying a generic periodically driven $ N$-level quantum system interacting with a low-density thermal gas.…

Unveiling the landscape of Mottness and its proximity to superconductivity in 4Hb-TaS$_2$
Mott physics is at the root of a plethora of many-body quantum phenomena in quantum materials. Recently, the stacked or twisted structures of van der Waals (vdW) materials have emerged as a unique platform for realizing exotic correlated states in the vicinity of the Mott transition. However, the definitive feature of Mottness and how it rules the low-energy electronic state remain elusive and experimentally inaccessible in many interesting regimes. Here, we quantitatively describe a filling-co…

Promptomatix: An Automatic Prompt Optimization Framework for Large Language Models
Large Language Models (LLMs) perform best with well-crafted prompts, yet prompt engineering remains manual, inconsistent, and inaccessible to non-experts. We introduce Promptomatix, an automatic prompt optimization framework that transforms natural language task descriptions into high-quality prompts without requiring manual tuning or domain expertise. Promptomatix supports both a lightweight meta-prompt-based optimizer and a DSPy-powered compiler, with modular design enabling future extension …

Is Quantum Mechanics a proper subset of Classical Mechanics?
Quantum mechanics is widely regarded as a complete theory, yet we argue it is a tractable projection of a deeper, computationally-inaccessible classical variational structure. By analyzing the coupled partial differential equations of the Hamilton type 1 principal function, we show that classical action-based dynamics are generally undecidable, paralleling spectral gap undecidability in quantum systems. In near Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser systems, stability hinges on Diophantine conditions that are…

Energy momentum tensor correlators in $ϕ^4$ theory II: The spin-two sector
We extend the computation of the C_T charge of the 2-point function of the Energy-Momentum Tensor to 4-loops. We show that C_T decomposes into two sectors, the conformal sector, which encodes the value of the central charge at fixed points and an RG-sector that contains logarithmic and constant corrections proportional to the beta-function. This latter constitutes the main new result of this work and is inaccessible via CFT methods alone. Furthermore, we demonstrate that C_T satisfies an eigenv…

Subwavelength Phase Engineering Deep Inside Silicon
Recent advances in three-dimensional laser writing have enabled direct nanostructuring deep within silicon, unlocking a volumetric design space previously inaccessible to surface-bound nanophotonic devices. Here, we introduce subwavelength phase engineering inside crystalline silicon, offering a novel strategy for integrated photonics. We design and numerically demonstrate a volumetric metaoptic monolithically embedded within the bulk, achieving full 2$π$ phase control at telecommunication wav…

Detecting Gravitational Waves from Exoplanets Orbiting Binary Neutron Stars with B-DECIGO and DECIGO
The first detection of a gravitational-wave (GW) signal in 2015 has opened a new observational window to probe the universe. This probe can not only reveal previously inaccessible binaries, black holes, and other compact objects, but also can detect exoplanets through their imprint on GW signals, thereby significantly extend current exoplanet surveys. To date, nearly 6000 exoplanets have been confirmed, yet most of them reside either in the solar neighbourhood or along the sightline toward the …

Shared Control for Game Accessibility: Understanding Current Human Cooperation Practices to Inform the Design of Partial Automation Solutions
Shared control is a form of video gaming accessibility support that allows players with disabilities to delegate inaccessible controls to another person. Through interviews involving 14 individuals with lived experience of accessible gaming in shared control, we explore the ways in which shared control technologies are adopted in practice, the accessibility challenges they address, and how the support currently provided in shared control can be automated to remove the need for a human assistant…

Learning Magnitude Distribution of Sound Fields via Conditioned Autoencoder
A learning-based method for estimating the magnitude distribution of sound fields from spatially sparse measurements is proposed. Estimating the magnitude distribution of acoustic transfer function (ATF) is useful when phase measurements are unreliable or inaccessible and has a wide range of applications related to spatial audio. We propose a neural-network-based method for the ATF magnitude estimation. The key feature of our network architecture is the input and output layers conditioned on so…

Excitation and tunneling spectra of a fractional quantum Hall system in the thin cylinder limit
The excitations of fractional quantum Hall effect (FQHE) states have been largely inaccessible to experimental probes until recently. New electron scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) results from Hu et.al. (2023) show promise in detecting and identifying these excited states via the local density of states (LDOS) spectrum. On a torus, there exists a mapping to a 1D lattice Hamiltonian with center-of-mass or dipole moment conservation. In this work, we apply perturbation theory starting from the…

The HST-Gaia Near-Infrared Astrometric Reference Frame near the Milky Way Galactic Center
We present the first high-precision proper motion catalog, tied to the International Celestial Reference System (ICRS), of infrared astrometric reference stars within R $\leq$ 25" (1 pc) of the central supermassive black hole at the Galactic center (GC). This catalog contains $\sim$2,900 sources in a highly extinguished region that is inaccessible via Gaia. New astrometric measurements are extracted from HST observations (14 epochs, 2010 - 2023) and transformed into the ICRS using 40 stars in c…

Probing the Chern-Simons Portal at the HL-LHC through Displaced Vertices from W Boson Associated Production
This study explores the Chern-Simons portal model, an extension of the Standard Model that introduces a massive neutral vector boson $X$ associated with a $U_X(1)$ gauge symmetry. Motivated by gauge anomaly cancellation, the model incorporates heavy chiral fermions that induce observable effects through topological Chern-Simons interactions, despite being inaccessible at Large Hadron Collider energies. We investigate the associated production of the $X$ boson with a $W$ boson and jets at the Hi…

Verifying textual claims against structured tabular data is a critical yet challenging task in Natural Language Processing with broad real-world impact. While recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have enabled significant progress in table fact-checking, current solutions remain inaccessible to non-experts. We introduce T-REX (T-REX: Table -- Refute or Entail eXplainer), the first live, interactive tool for claim verification over multimodal, multilingual tables using state-of-the-art…

Polarization-dependent chiral transport and chiral solitons in spin Kitaev models
Recent advances in synthetic quantum matter allow researchers to design quantum models inaccessible in traditional materials. Here, we propose protocols to engineer a new class of quantum spin models, which we call spin Kitaev models. The building blocks are basic spin-exchange interactions combined with locally selective Floquet pulses, a capability recently demonstrated in a range of experimental platforms. The resulting flip-flip and flop-flop terms lead to intriguing quantum transport dynam…

Morae: Proactively Pausing UI Agents for User Choices
User interface (UI) agents promise to make inaccessible or complex UIs easier to access for blind and low-vision (BLV) users. However, current UI agents typically perform tasks end-to-end without involving users in critical choices or making them aware of important contextual information, thus reducing user agency. For example, in our field study, a BLV participant asked to buy the cheapest available sparkling water, and the agent automatically chose one from several equally priced options, wit…

Time-hidden magnetic order in a multi-orbital Mott insulator
Photo-excited quantum materials can be driven into thermally inaccessible metastable states that exhibit structural, charge, spin, topological and superconducting orders. Metastable states typically emerge on timescales set by the intrinsic electronic and phononic energy scales, ranging from femtoseconds to picoseconds, and can persist for weeks. Therefore, studies have primarily focused on ultrafast or quasi-static limits, leaving the intermediate time window less explored. Here we reveal a me…

Photonic time crystals assisted by quasi-bound states in the continuum
Photonic time crystals are a class of artificial materials that have only recently been explored. They are characterized by the ultrafast modulation of the material properties in time, causing a momentum bandgap for light that propagates through such novel states of matter. However, the observation of these unique properties at optical frequencies remains elusive, as the necessary modulation amplitudes of the permittivity to show notable momentum bandgaps are relatively high, inaccessible with …
