Sight Over Site: Perception-Aware Reinforcement Learning for Efficient Robotic Inspection
Autonomous inspection is a central problem in robotics, with applications ranging from industrial monitoring to search-and-rescue. Traditionally, inspection has often been reduced to navigation tasks, where the objective is to reach a predefined location while avoiding obstacles. However, this formulation captures only part of the real inspection problem. In real-world environments, the inspection targets may become visible well before their exact coordinates are reached, making further movemen…

Entanglement dynamics in minimal Kitaev chains
Minimal Kitaev chains host Majorana quasiparticles, which, although not topologically protected, exhibit spatial nonlocality and hence expected to be useful for quantum information tasks. In this work, we consider two- and three-site Kitaev chains and investigate the dynamics of bipartite and multipartite entanglement by means of concurrence and geometric measure of entanglement. In two-site Kitaev chains, we find that maximally entangled states can robustly emerge, with their stability and per…

Er$_\mathrm{Al}$:Al$_2$O$_3$ for Telecom-Band Photonics: Electronic Structure and Optical Properties
Er-doped Al$_2$O$_3$ is a promising host for telecom-band integrated photonics. Here we combine ab initio calculations with a symmetry-resolved analysis to elucidate substitutional Er on the Al site (Er$_\mathrm{Al}$) in $α$-Al$_2$O$_3$. First-principles relaxations confirm the structural stability of Er$_\mathrm{Al}$. We then use the local trigonal crystal-field symmetry to classify the Er-derived impurity levels by irreducible representations and to derive polarization-resolved electric-dipo…

Impact of 3D macro physics and nuclear physics on the p nuclei in O-C shell mergers
O-C shell mergers in massive stars are a site for producing the p nuclei by the $γ$ process, but 1D stellar models rely on mixing length theory, which does not match the radial velocity profiles of 3D hydrodynamic simulations. We investigate how 3D macro physics informed mixing impacts the nucleosynthesis of p nuclei. We post-process the O-shell of the $M_\mathrm{ZAMS} = 15~\mathrm{M}_\odot$, $Z = 0.02$ model from the NuGrid stellar data set. Applying a downturn to velocities at the boundary a…

Dopant-induced stabilization of three-dimensional charge order in cuprates
We investigate the microscopic mechanisms behind the stabilization of three-dimensional (3D) charge order by Pr doping in YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_7$ (YBCO7). Density-functional-theory calculations locate the lowest-energy Pr superlattices for both Ba- and Y-site substitution. In the Ba-site case, the smaller Pr ion pulls the surrounding atoms inward. This breathing-mode distortion pins charge-stripe walls to the Pr columns and forces them to align along the $c$ axis. Y-site Pr is larger than the host i…

Bulk-edge coulping induced by a moving impurity
More physics at the boundaries of a topological lattice remains to be explored for future applications of topological edge states. This work investigates the stability of topological edge states in the presence of a moving impurity. By modeling the impurity as a moving Gaussian on-site potential at the boundary of a two-dimensional (2D) lattice, we show that a moving impurity may cause significant modifications to edge transport, a feature markedly different from the expected robustness of edge…

Simulating the interplay of dipolar and quadrupolar interactions in NMR by spin dynamic mean-field theory
The simulation of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) experiments is a notoriously difficult task, if many spins participate in the dynamics. The recently established dynamic mean-field theory for high-temperature spin systems (spinDMFT) represents an efficient yet accurate method to deal with this scenario. SpinDMFT reduces a complex lattice system to a time-dependent single-site problem, which can be solved numerically with small computational effort. Since the approach retains local quantum deg…

Abrupt transitions in the optimization of diffusion with distributed resetting
Brownian diffusion subject to stochastic resetting to a fixed position has been widely studied for applications to random search processes. In an unbounded domain, the mean first passage time at a target site can be minimized for a convenient choice of the resetting rate. Here we study this optimization problem in one dimension when resetting occurs to random positions, chosen from a distribution with compact support that does not include the target. Depending on the shape of this distribution,…

The influence of nitrogen doping and annealing on the silicon vacancy in 4H-SiC
The silicon vacancy ($V_{Si}$) in 4H-SiC at its cubic site (V2-center) has shown significant promise for quantum technologies, due to coherent spin states, the mature material system, and stable optical emission. In these SiC-based applications, doping plays a crucial role. It can be used to control the charge state of $V_{Si}$ and formation of different types of defects. Despite its importance, there has been little research on the effects of doping. In this work, we perform a study of the eff…

Topologically protected edge oscillations in nonlinear dynamical units
Many examples from quantum and classical physics are known where topological protection is responsible for the robustness of the dynamics. Less explored is the role of topological protection in the context of classical oscillatory systems. As on-site dynamics, we consider prototypical oscillator models with possible applications in biochemical systems. However, our choice of coupling geometry is inspired by models from condensed matter physics which -- in isolation -- guarantee non-trivial topo…

A Novel Mathematical Model of Protein Interactions from the Perspective of Electron Delocalization
Proteins are the workhorse molecules of the cell and perform their biological functions by binding to other molecules through physical contact. Protein function is then regulated through coupling of bindings on the protein (allosteric regulation). Just as the genetic code provides the blueprint for protein synthesis, the coupling is thought to provide the basis for protein communication and interaction. However, it is not yet fully understood how binding of a molecule at one site affects bindin…

Optimizing Microgrid Composition for Sustainable Data Centers
As computing energy demand continues to grow and electrical grid infrastructure struggles to keep pace, an increasing number of data centers are being planned with colocated microgrids that integrate on-site renewable generation and energy storage. However, while existing research has examined the tradeoffs between operational and embodied carbon emissions in the context of renewable energy certificates, there is a lack of tools to assess how the sizing and composition of microgrid components a…

Importance Sampling Approximation of Sequence Evolution Models with Site-Dependence
We consider models for molecular sequence evolution in which the transition rates at each site depend on the local sequence context, giving rise to a time-inhomogeneous Markov process in which sites evolve under a complex dependency structure. We introduce a randomized approximation algorithm for the marginal sequence likelihood under these models using importance sampling, and provide matching order upper and lower bounds on the finite sample approximation error. Given two sequences of length …

Site-Specific Parameterization of Ocean Spectra for Power Estimates of Wave Energy Converters
Estimating the mean annual power of a wave energy converter (WEC) through the method of bins relies on a parametric representation of all possible sea states. In practice, two-parameter spectra based on significant wave height and energy period are ubiquitous. Two-parameter spectra have been shown insufficient in capturing the range of spectral shapes that can occur in an actual ocean environment. Furthermore, through sensitivity analysis, these two-parameters have been shown to be insufficient…

Variational Time Evolution Compression for Solving Impurity Models on Quantum Hardware
Dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) is a useful tool to analyze models of strongly correlated fermions like the Hubbard model. In DMFT, the lattice of the model is replaced by a single impurity site embedded in an effective bath. The resulting single impurity Anderson model (SIAM) can then be solved self-consistently with a quantum-classical hybrid algorithm. This procedure involves repeatedly preparing the ground state on a quantum computer and evolving it in time to measure the Greens function…

Once overlap and Hamiltonian matrix elements are found, obtaining the excitation for any momentum only requires diagonalization of a tiny matri…

Large Chern-Number Quantum Anomalous Hall Effect from Canted Antiferromagnetic Order in $d$-Electron System on Kagome Lattice
Electrons of $d$-symmetry in a kagome lattice are considered which interact with non-collinear antiferromagnetic order in the absence of spin-orbit coupling. The non-collinearity of spin texture gives rise to non-relativistic spin splitting and the associated intrinsic Berry curvature. The integral of the latter over the Brillouin zone becomes nontrivial for non-coplanar (canted) non-collinear spin order even without explicit on-site or transfer spin-orbit coupling. That gives rise to a nonzero…

Exploring the variational method for thermodynamic models
This work explores the possibilities of the Gibbs-Bogoliubov-Feynman variational method, aiming at finding room for designing various drawing schemes. For example, mean-field approximation can be viewed as a result of using site-independent drawing in the variational method. In subsequent sections, progressively complex drawing procedures are presented, starting from site-independent drawing in the $k$-space. In the next, each site in the real-space is again drawn independently, which is follow…

How to Bridge the Sim-to-Real Gap in Digital Twin-Aided Telecommunication Networks
Training effective artificial intelligence models for telecommunications is challenging due to the scarcity of deployment-specific data. Real data collection is expensive, and available datasets often fail to capture the unique operational conditions and contextual variability of the network environment. Digital twinning provides a potential solution to this problem, as simulators tailored to the current network deployment can generate site-specific data to augment the available training datase…

A real-time search for Type Ia Supernovae with late-time CSM interaction in ZTF
The nature of Type Ia supernova (SN Ia) progenitor systems and the mechanisms that lead up to their explosions are still widely debated. In rare cases the SN ejecta interact with circumstellar material (CSM) that was ejected from the progenitor system prior to the SN. The unknown distance between the CSM and SN explosion site makes it impossible to predict when the interaction will start. If the time between the SN and start of CSM interaction is of the order of months to years the SN has gener…

Seeing and Meteorological Analysis at the North-1 and North-2 Points of Muztagh-Ata Site on the Pamir Plateau
To support the selection of large optical/infrared telescope sites in western China, long-term monitoring of atmospheric conditions and astronomical seeing has been conducted at the Muztagh-Ata site on the Pamir Plateau since 2017. With the monitoring focus gradually shifting northward, three stations were established: the South Point, North-1 point, and North-2 point. The North-1 point,selected as the site for the 1.93m Muztagh Optical Survey Telescope (MOST), has recorded seeing and meteorolo…

More on Intractability of Thermalization: (almost) i.i.d. inputs and finite lattices
This work is an extention of Shiraishi and Matsumoto [10], and discusses the computational complexity of the long-term average of local observables in one-dimensional lattices with shift-invariant nearest-neighbor interactions for simple initial states. As shown in the previous paper, the problem is generally intractable. In this paper we refine the statement further. First, we consider restriction of the initial state, where the state of all the sites are the same except for a single site. We …

The Murchison Widefield Array Enters Adolescence: A Personal Review of the Early Years of Operations
The Murchison Widefield Array (MWA) is a low frequency radio interferometer designed and developed by an international consortium, operated on behalf of the consortium by Curtin University. The MWA is a Precursor for the low frequency Square Kilometre Array (SKA) and is located at the SKA site in Western Australia, Inyarrimanha Ilgari Bundara, the CSIRO Murchison Radio-astronomy Observatory. Commencing science operations in 2013 after an extended development period, the MWA has performed observ…

Percolation of random compact diamond-shaped systems on the square lattice
We study site percolation on a square lattice with random compact diamond-shaped neighborhoods. Each site $s$ is connected to others within a neighborhood in the shape of a diamond of radius $r_s$, where $r_s$ is uniformly chosen from the set $\{i, i+1, \ldots, m\}$ with $i \leq m$. The model is analyzed for all values of $i = 0, \ldots, 7$ and $m = i, \ldots, 10$, where $\overline{z}(i,m)$ denotes the average number of neighbors per site and $p_c(i,m)$ is the critical percolation threshold.
