Single Photon Emitters in Ultra-Thin Hexagonal Boron Nitride Layers
Single-photon emitters (SPE) in hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN) are promising for applications ranging from single-photon sources to quantum sensors. Previous studies exclusively focused on the generation and characterization of SPEs in relatively thick h-BN layers ($\geq$ 30 nm). However, for electrical and magnetic sensing applications, the thickness of the h-BN limits the attainable spatial resolution. Here, we report the observation of blue-wavelength emitters (B-centers) activated by electr…

A Hot Jupiter with a Retrograde Orbit around a Sun-like Star and a Toy Model of Hot Jupiters in Wide Binary Star Systems
We report an observation of a transit of the hot Jupiter (HJ) KELT-23A b with the Keck Planet Finder spectrograph and a measurement of the sky-projected obliquity ($λ$) of its Sun-like ($T_{\rm eff} \approx 5900$ K) host star. We measured a projected stellar obliquity of $λ\approx 180^\circ$, indicating that the orbit of the HJ is retrograde relative to the direction of the stellar spin. Due to the slow sky-projected rotational velocity of the host star ($v \sin{i_\star} \approx 0.5$ km s$^{-…

AGNBoost: A Machine Learning Approach to AGN Identification with JWST/NIRCam+MIRI Colors and Photometry
We present AGNBoost, a machine learning framework utilizing XGBoostLSS to identify AGN and estimate redshifts from JWST NIRCam and MIRI photometry. AGNBoost constructs 121 input features from 7 NIRCam and 4 MIRI bands-including magnitudes, colors, and squared color terms-to simultaneously predict the fraction of mid-IR $3-30\,μ$m emission attributable to an AGN power law (frac$_\text{AGN}$) and photometric redshift. Each model is trained on a sample of $10^6$ simulated galaxies from CIGALE pro…

Digitaler Stillstand beim Cupra Born: Die MyCupra-App funktioniert nicht, das Infotainment ist offline, die Werkstätten sind überlastet. Als ich schon den Austausch vorbereitet hatte, ging alles plötzlich wieder. Warum Cupra nicht offen mit IT-Problemen umgeht, bleibt für mich ein Ärgernis #Ladelust

Autonomy by Design: Preserving Human Autonomy in AI Decision-Support
AI systems increasingly support human decision-making across domains of professional, skill-based, and personal activity. While previous work has examined how AI might affect human autonomy globally, the effects of AI on domain-specific autonomy -- the capacity for self-governed action within defined realms of skill or expertise -- remain understudied. We analyze how AI decision-support systems affect two key components of domain-specific autonomy: skilled competence (the ability to make inform…

A period-increasing oscillation signal in a long gamma-ray burst
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), the brightest electromagnetic bursts in the universe, are believed to originate from ultra-relativistic jets launched by the rapidly rotating central engine, either a disk-surrounded newly formed black hole (BH) or a magnetar. Such a central engine potentially possesses rapidly evolving physical characteristics, as it is just born. The caught of time-increasing frequency in the gravitational wave signals is the evidence of upon opinion. Here we report a possible oscilla…

Trainability of Parametrised Linear Combinations of Unitaries
A principal concern in the optimisation of parametrised quantum circuits is the presence of barren plateaus, which present fundamental challenges to the scalability of applications, such as variational algorithms and quantum machine learning models. Recent proposals for these methods have increasingly used the linear combination of unitaries (LCU) procedure as a core component. In this work, we prove that an LCU of trainable parametrised circuits is still trainable. We do so by analytically der…
