Direct imaging of quantum interference and Non-Abelian entanglement in Hopfion: an magnetic soliton possess loop-like anyonic properties
This work provides the first experimental elucidation of quantum topological effects in individual hopfions, establishing their potential as building blocks for three-dimensional topological quantum spintronics. The observed Non-Abelian characteristics suggest pathways toward fault-tolerant quantum operations through controlled hopfion braiding in engineered magnetic metamaterials.

Three loop master integrals for ${\mathcal{O}} (αα_s^2)$ corrections to quark form factor
We consider the three-loop mixed strong-electroweak (${\mathcal{O}}(αα_s^2)$) corrections to the quark form factor. We compute the master integrals which are appearing in the Feynman diagrams containing a single massive boson in the loop. We use the state-of-the-art method of differential equations to compute all 303 of them, expressing the results in terms of generalized polylogarithms. We encounter multiple square roots that cannot be simultaneously rationalized using a single transformatio…

Systematic non-thermal velocity increase preceding soft X-ray flare onset
Non-thermal velocities, derived from spectral line broadening, can provide crucial insights into plasma dynamics before and during solar flares. To systematically study the pre-flare phase, we constructed a Hinode/Extreme-ultraviolet Imaging Spectrometer (EIS) flare catalog of 1,449 flares from 2011-2024. This enabled a large-scale analysis of flare loop footpoint non-thermal velocity evolution across different flare magnitudes (C, M, X-classes). Analyzing Fe VIII - Fe XXIV emission lines forme…

Incorrectly labelled test cases can adversely affect the training process of human-in-the-loop oracle learning tech-niques. This paper introduces ISONOISE, a technique designed to identify such mislabelled test cases introduced during human-in-the-loop oracle learning. This technique can be applied to programs taking numeric inputs. Given a compromised automatic test oracle and its training test suite, ISONOISE first isolates thetest cases suspected of being mislabelled. This task is performed …

TTSOps: A Closed-Loop Corpus Optimization Framework for Training Multi-Speaker TTS Models from Dark Data
This paper presents TTSOps, a fully automated closed-loop framework for constructing multi-speaker text-to-speech (TTS) systems from noisy, uncurated web-scale speech data, often referred to as ``dark data,'' such as online videos. Conventional TTS training pipelines require well-curated corpora with high acoustic quality and accurate text-speech alignment, which severely limits scalability, speaker diversity, and real-world applicability. While recent studies have proposed acoustic-quality-bas…

Optimal Navigation in Microfluidics via the Optimization of a Discrete Loss
Optimal path planning and control of microscopic devices navigating in fluid environments is essential for applications ranging from targeted drug delivery to environmental monitoring. These tasks are challenging due to the complexity of microdevice-flow interactions. We introduce a closed-loop control method that optimizes a discrete loss (ODIL) in terms of dynamics and path objectives. In comparison with reinforcement learning, ODIL is more robust, up to three orders faster, and excels in hig…

Anomaly freedom in effective Loop Quantum Cosmology refined: extended functional dependence of the counter-terms
Instead of assuming that they depend only on the background variables, we investigate the hypothesis that counter-terms appearing in the deformed algebra approach to loop quantum cosmology depend on the full phase-space variables. We derive the associated anomalies and solve the entire system in several specific cases. New restrictions on the generalized holonomy corrections are obtained.

$p$-local decompositions of looped polyhedral products
We show that localised away from a finite set of primes, the loop space of a moment-angle complex is homotopy equivalent to a product of loops on spheres. This verifies a conjecture of Anick for such spaces. We also develop a method to reduce the study of the loops of more general polyhedral products to that of the loops on a moment-angle complex. As a consequence, we give $p$-local loop space decompositions of a wide family of polyhedral products, quasitoric manifolds and simply connected tori…

Disruption of parkinsonian brain oscillations
Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is an advanced surgical treatment for the symptoms of Parkinson's disease (PD), involving electrical stimulation of neurons within the basal ganglia region of the brain. DBS is traditionally delivered in an open-loop manner using fixed stimulation parameters, which may lead to suboptimal results. In an effort to overcome these limitations, closed loop DBS, using pathological subthalamic beta (13--30 Hz) activity as a feedback signal, offers the potential to adapt DB…

Higher loops in AdS: applications to boundary CFT
The Euclidean Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space provides a natural framework for studying boundary conformal field theory (BCFT). We analyze the conformal boundary conditions of the critical O$(N)$ model in $d=4-ε$ dimensions using the $ε$-expansion, and extract some BCFT observables through higher-loop calculations in AdS. Specifically, in the so-called "ordinary" universality class, we determine the free energy to four-loop order and the one-point function of the lightest O$(N)$ singlet operator t…

High-quality structural characterization techniques (e.g., X-ray, neutron, or static light scattering) are a particularly relevant example of this need: they provide invaluable information but are challenging to analyze …

Bandwidth enhanced current noise suppression with a SERF magnetometer
This work investigates the behavior of a spin-exchange relaxation-free (SERF) magnetometer integrated into the feedback branch of a closed-loop control circuit, designed to actively suppress noise from a current source. In this configuration, the magnetometer bandwidth is enhanced by almost two orders of magnitude as compared to the open-loop setup. Incorporating an injection transformer, the proposed system effectively reduces current noise to below 3 nA/sqrt(Hz) over a broad frequency bandwid…

Employing a non-anticommuting $γ_5$ in dimensional regularisation, we determine the full set of symmetry restoring counterterms from the quantum action principle. Our calculation represents the highest-order application of the BMHV framework so far, pushing the limits of a self-consistent treatment of $γ_5$ at the multi-loop level. We describe the comp…

CLONE: Closed-Loop Whole-Body Humanoid Teleoperation for Long-Horizon Tasks
Humanoid teleoperation plays a vital role in demonstrating and collecting data for complex humanoid-scene interactions. However, current teleoperation systems face critical limitations: they decouple upper- and lower-body control to maintain stability, restricting natural coordination, and operate open-loop without real-time position feedback, leading to accumulated drift. The fundamental challenge is achieving precise, coordinated whole-body teleoperation over extended durations while maintain…

To dig slightly deeper here, I think that there's a feedback loop between "fall in love/wait for your perfect match (and by the way girls the only career you should aspire to is the literally unattainable 'princess'" Disney stuff and this "my characters are complex I'm so sophisticated; they suffer but it's not intolerable and their lives are good enough despite the imperfections" crap that gets praised as so evocative of the human condition. In fact, I think it merely evokes the condition of its authors & fans who were poisoned by the Disney in their youth and who have remained bad as relationships ever since, though this is not exactly their fault. In any case, their white middle-aged wisdom-shaped-but-quite bitter and intricately-constructed-so-it's-hard-to-see-the-really-untrue-character-facets work ends up keeping their audience within the "romance is luck" cult by way of reassuring them that a middling romance with lots of doubt and complications is "just life" even though the author doesn't actually have any broader perspective on what life is than anyone else.
This has turned into a bit of a rant, but I think I'll just add that reading Mama by Nikkya Hargrove just before Dream State helped immensely to see how the distant & awkward parent-child relationships of the latter are not a product of human nature but instead of white western culture & capitalism.

The Lock-in Hypothesis: Stagnation by Algorithm
The training and deployment of large language models (LLMs) create a feedback loop with human users: models learn human beliefs from data, reinforce these beliefs with generated content, reabsorb the reinforced beliefs, and feed them back to users again and again. This dynamic resembles an echo chamber. We hypothesize that this feedback loop entrenches the existing values and beliefs of users, leading to a loss of diversity and potentially the lock-in of false beliefs. We formalize this hypothe…

Dynamical decoupling of interacting spins through group factorization
Dynamical decoupling (DD) is a well-known open-loop protocol for suppressing unwanted interactions in a quantum system, thereby drastically extending the coherence time of useful quantum states. In the original framework of evolution symmetrization, a DD sequence was shown to enforce a symmetry on the unwanted Hamiltonian, thereby suppressing it if the symmetry was inaccessible. In this work, we show how symmetries already present in the undesired Hamiltonian can be harnessed to reduce the comp…

As a result, the light modes emerging in the limit d…

We study bifurcations of vector fields on 2-manifolds with handles in generic one-parameter families unfolding vector fields with a separatrix loop of a hyperbolic saddle. These bifurcations can differ drastically from the analogous bifurcations on the sphere. The reason is that, on a surface, a free separatrix of a hyperbolic saddle may wind toward the separatrix loop of the same saddle. When this loop is broken, sparkling saddle loops emerge. In the orientable case, the parameter values corre…

Emergent topology in thin films of nodal line semimetals
We investigate finite-size topological phases in thin films of nodal line semimetals (co-dimension 2) in three dimensions. By analyzing the hybridization of drumhead surface states, we demonstrate that such systems can transition into either a lower-dimensional nodal line state (co-dimension 1) or a fully gapped trivial phase. Additionally, we explore the hybridization of bulk states along the nodal loop when the system is finite in directions parallel to the loop's plane. This generally result…

Spontaneous quantization of the Yang-Mills gradient flow
We apply loop calculus in momentum loop space to the Yang-Mills gradient flow, deriving momentum loop equations for the Wilson loop. These equations possess fixed points corresponding to superpositions of Wilson loops associated with classical Yang-Mills solutions. We identify two distinct classes of solutions: one converging toward a trivial free-field configuration (vanishing field strength) and another converging toward configurations characterized by self-dual field strengths. Both solution…

AutoChemSchematic AI: A Closed-Loop, Physics-Aware Agentic Framework for Auto-Generating Chemical Process and Instrumentation Diagrams
Recent advancements in generative AI have accelerated the discovery of novel chemicals and materials; however, transitioning these discoveries to industrial-scale production remains a critical bottleneck, as it requires the development of entirely new chemical manufacturing processes. Current AI methods cannot auto-generate PFDs or PIDs, despite their critical role in scaling chemical processes, while adhering to engineering constraints. We present a closed loop, physics aware framework for the…

High-gain model-following control for trajectory tracking
We consider trajectory tracking for minimum-phase nonlinear systems in Byrnes-Isidori form using the model-following control (MFC) architecture. The tracking problem is motivated by a hierarchical control concept where a higher-level instance provides the reference trajectory at run-time. We present a computational efficient implementation of the feedback linearisation MFC design, and apply high-gain feedback in the process control loop (PCL) to achieve practical tracking in presence of Lipschi…

Loop Patterns Formed by Cellular Automata
A Cellular Automata (CA) rule is presented that can generate "loop patterns" in a 2D grid under fixed boundary conditions. A loop is a cyclically closed path represented by one-cells enclosed by zero-cells. A loop pattern can contain several loops that are not allowed to touch each other. The problem is solved by designing an appropriate set of tiles that can overlap and which are used in the CA rule. Templates are derived from the tiles which are used for local pattern matching. In order to dr…

Human-aware controllers play an important role in engineering systems for improving productivity, efficiency, and sustainability. It is essential to design such a controller that optimizes user utility while adhering to plant dynamics. While most online optimization algorithms rely on first-order or zeroth-order oracles, human feedback often appears as pairwise comparisons. In this work, we propose an online feedback optimization algorithm that leverages such preference feedback. We design a co…

The amplitude is expressed in terms of a set of Feynman integrals and their coefficients that depend on the external kinematics.

Pearl: Automatic Code Optimization Using Deep Reinforcement Learning
Compilers are crucial in optimizing programs and accelerating their execution. However, optimizing programs automatically using compilers is not trivial. Recent work has attempted to use reinforcement learning (RL) to solve this problem. It has limitations though. Current methods either do not support the optimization of general loop nests or can only be used to optimize loop nests seen during training. In this paper, we propose Pearl, a novel framework that uses deep reinforcement learning to …

Development of Hardware-in-Loop Framework for Satellite Communication Self-Healing Networks
The use of Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellites in the next generation (Next-G) communication systems has been gaining traction over the last few years due to their potential for providing global connectivity with low latency. Since they are the closest to the earth they come with their own set of disadvantages including high vulnerability to jamming and interference. To address these issues, this paper introduces a resilient, self-healing network designed to optimize signal quality under dynamic i…

LEMON-Mapping: Loop-Enhanced Large-Scale Multi-Session Point Cloud Merging and Optimization for Globally Consistent Mapping
Multi-robot collaboration is becoming increasingly critical and presents significant challenges in modern robotics, especially for building a globally consistent, accurate map. Traditional multi-robot pose graph optimization (PGO) methods ensure basic global consistency but ignore the geometric structure of the map, and only use loop closures as constraints between pose nodes, leading to divergence and blurring in overlapping regions. To address this issue, we propose LEMON-Mapping, a loop-enha…

Recent efficient sequence modeling methods such as Gated DeltaNet, TTT, and RWKV-7 have achieved performance improvements by supervising the recurrent memory management through Delta learning rule. Unlike previous state-space models (e.g., Mamba) and gated linear attentions (e.g., GLA), these models introduce interactions between the recurrent state and the key vector, resulting in a nonlinear recursive structure. In this paper, we first introduce the concept of Nonlinear RNNs with a comprehens…

A non-Hermitian loop for a quantum measurement
Here we present a non-Hermitian framework for modeling state-vector collapse under unified dynamics described by Schrödinger's equation. Under the premise of non-Hermitian Hamiltonian dynamics, we argue that collapse has to occur when the Hamiltonian completes a closed loop in the parameter space encoding the interaction with the meter. For two-level systems, we put forward the phenomenon of chiral state conversion as a mechanism for effectively eliminating superpositions. This perspective ope…

Quivers for coloured planar $ϕ^n$ theories at all loop orders for scattering processes from Feynman diagrams
We introduce Feynman-like rules to compute quivers for two loops and higher for the coloured planar $ϕ^3$ theory for winding number zero. We demonstrate this for a few cases. Then we extend this further to the case of $ϕ^n$ theories, for any n. We also construct the quivers for mixed theories. We do this at all loop order.

This paper provides a method for obtaining a continuous-time model of a target system in closed-loop from input-output data alone, in the case where no knowledge of the controllers nor excitation signals is available and I/O data may suffer from unknown offsets. The proposed method is based on a fixed-pole observer model, which is a reasonable continuous-time version corresponding to the innovation model in discrete-time and allows the identification of unstable target systems. Furthermore, it …

This work explores the possibility of inflation in a scale-symmetric extension of the Standard Model Higgs sector, where the Higgs field $ϕ_1$ is coupled to a singlet scalar, the dilaton $ϕ_0$. The two-scalar theory is formulated within Weyl geometry, which modifies the Einstein frame form of the resulting single-field inflationary potential. We extend the analysis to include quantum corrections, incorporating curvature effects in the one-loop effective potential. We find that the resulting s…

The flavor symmetry charges are chosen so that $\barθ=0$ at tree level for all values of the Yukawa and quartic couplings of the theory. We prove that in all such theories the 1-loop contribution to …

We further explore an illuminating possibility that in Dimensional Regularization, the original RI/(m)SMOM renormalization conditions may be interpreted merely…
