Why some climate policies are more popular than others: A psychologist explains
Despite growing concern about climate change, many countries have seen backlash against certain environmental policies, often because they are seen as costly, restrictive or unfair.

Sweden's most powerful laser delivers record-short light pulses
For the first time, researchers at Umeå University have demonstrated the full capabilities of their large-scale laser facility. In a study published in Nature Photonics, the team reports generating a combination of ultrashort laser pulses, extreme peak power, and precisely controlled waveforms that make it possible to explore the fastest processes in nature.

The robustness of composite pulses elucidated by classical mechanics: Stability around the globe
Composite Pulses (CPs) are widely used in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), optical spectroscopy, optimal control experiments and quantum computing to manipulate systems that are well-described by a two-level Hamiltonian. A careful design of these pulses can allow the refocusing of an ensemble at a desired state, even if the ensemble experiences imperfections in the magnitude of the external field or resonance offsets. Since the introduction of CPs, several theoretical justifications for their …

A New Family of Thread to Core Allocation Policies for an SMT ARM Processor
Modern high-performance servers commonly integrate Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT) processors, which efficiently boosts throughput over single-threaded cores. Optimizing performance in SMT processors faces challenges due to the inter-application interference within each SMT core. To mitigate the interference, thread-to-core (T2C) allocation policies play a pivotal role. State-of-the-art T2C policies work in two steps: i) building a per-application performance stack using performance counters …

Shaping Ultrafast Pulses for Enhanced Resonant Nonlinear Interactions
Coherent control with shaped ultrafast pulses is a powerful approach for steering nonlinear light-matter interactions. Previous studies in quantum control have shown that, beyond transform-limited pulses, those with antisymmetric spectral phases can drive nonresonant multiphoton transitions with comparable efficiency. However, in resonant multiphoton transitions, the material's spectral-phase response introduces dispersion that degrades nonlinear efficiency. Pre-shaping the pulse to compensate …
