The Aromatic Infrared Bands around the Wolf-Rayet Binary WR140 Revealed by JWST
We have analyzed the aromatic infrared bands (AIBs) in the 6-11.2 $μ$m range around the Wolf-Rayet binary WR140 (d=1.64 kpc) obtained with the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) Mid-Infrared Instrument (MIRI) Medium-Resolution Spectrometer (MRS). In WR140's circumstellar environment, we have detected AIBs at 6 $μ$m and 7.7 $μ$m which are attributed to C-C stretching modes. These features have been detected in the innermost dust shell (Shell1; ~2100 au from WR140), the subsequent dust shell (S…

No physics required! A visual-based introduction to GKP qubits for computer scientists
With the significance of continuous-variable quantum computing increasing thanks to the achievements of light-based quantum hardware, making it available to learner audiences outside physics has been an important yet seldom-tackled challenge. Similarly, the rising focus on fault-tolerant quantum computing has shed light on quantum error correction schemes, turning it into the locus of attention for industry and academia alike. In this paper, we explore the widely adopted framework of quantum er…

Pre-trained Transformer-models using chronic invasive electrophysiology for symptom decoding without patient-individual training
Neural decoding of pathological and physiological states can enable patient-individualized closed-loop neuromodulation therapy. Recent advances in pre-trained large-scale foundation models offer the potential for generalized state estimation without patient-individual training. Here we present a foundation model trained on chronic longitudinal deep brain stimulation recordings spanning over 24 days. Adhering to long time-scale symptom fluctuations, we highlight the extended context window of 30…

Spectral tuning of hyperbolic shear polaritons in monoclinic gallium oxide via isotopic substitution
Hyperbolic phonon polaritons - hybridized modes arising from the ultrastrong coupling of infrared light to strongly anisotropic lattice vibrations in uniaxial or biaxial polar crystals - enable to confine light to the nanoscale with low losses and high directionality. In even lower symmetry materials, such as monoclinic $β$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ (bGO), hyperbolic shear polaritons (HShPs) further enhance the directionality. Yet, HShPs are intrinsically supported only within narrow frequency ranges define…

Planar Stories of Graph Drawings: Algorithms and Experiments
We address the problem of computing a dynamic visualization of a geometric graph $G$ as a sequence of frames. Each frame shows only a portion of the graph but their union covers $G$ entirely. The two main requirements of our dynamic visualization are: $(i)$ guaranteeing drawing stability, so to preserve the user's mental map; $(ii)$ keeping the visual complexity of each frame low. To satisfy the first requirement, we never change the position of the vertices. Regarding the second requirement, w…

TUM Teleoperation: Open Source Software for Remote Driving and Assistance of Automated Vehicles
Teleoperation is a key enabler for future mobility, supporting Automated Vehicles in rare and complex scenarios beyond the capabilities of their automation. Despite ongoing research, no open source software currently combines Remote Driving, e.g., via steering wheel and pedals, Remote Assistance through high-level interaction with automated driving software modules, and integration with a real-world vehicle for practical testing. To address this gap, we present a modular, open source teleoperat…

Insights gained from the Light Echo of Cepheus A HW2
Cepheus A HW2 is a well-studied massive young stellar object (MYSO) featuring Class II methanol masers. Recently, certain maser components have been found to flare every five years. This period went undetected in (NEO)WISE photometry due to detector saturation. However, difference imaging revealed a light echo (LE), representing a variability record. Its periodicity is similar to that of the masers. Thereby, the mid-IR light curve since 2007 could be reconstructed. Phase and period maps provide…
