Why Teach Quantum?: Elementary Teachers Initial Beliefs about Quantum
This paper examines the initial beliefs held by elementary educators (n=11) and their students about teaching and learning quantum concepts at the elementary level. All teachers were participants in a grant-funded project focused on developing teachers' quantum content knowledge and creating curricular resources to use in elementary classrooms. Although elementary teachers had limited knowledge of quantum at the beginning of the project, they expressed excitement and a belief that learning quan…

Prebiotic Functional Programs: Endogenous Selection in an Artificial Chemistry
Artificial chemistry simulations produce many intriguing emergent behaviors, but they are often difficult to steer or control. This paper proposes a method for steering the dynamics of a classic artificial chemistry model, known as AlChemy (Algorithmic Chemistry), which is based on untyped lambda calculus. Our approach leverages features that are endogenous to AlChemy without constructing an explicit external fitness function or building learning into the dynamics. We demonstrate the approach b…

Strategic Analysis of Dissent and Self-Censorship
Expressions of dissent against authority are an important feature of most societies, and efforts to suppress such expressions are common. Modern digital communications, social media, and Internet surveillance and censorship technologies are changing the landscape of public speech and dissent. Especially in authoritarian settings, individuals must assess the risk of voicing their true opinions or choose self-censorship, voluntarily moderating their behavior to comply with authority.

Selmer groups of families of elliptic curves with an $\ell$-isogeny
For certain families of elliptic curves admitting a rational isogeny of prime degree $\ell$, we establish a central limit theorem for the Tamagawa ratio and derive bounds on its average value. By using the Tamagawa ratio to bound the size of the $\ell$-isogeny Selmer group from below, we show that for $\ell \in\{ 2, 3, 5, 7, 13\}$, there exist elliptic curves with arbitrarily large $\ell$-Selmer groups.

Learning Conformal Explainers for Image Classifiers
Feature attribution methods are widely used for explaining image-based predictions, as they provide feature-level insights that can be intuitively visualized.

To address these limitations, we propose a novel conformal prediction-based approach that enables users to directly control the fidelity of the generated explanations.

For non-compact, locally symmetric moduli spaces M, the set of geodesics and the geometry of the boundary can be completely characterised using group theory. In particular, geodesics that asymptote to a given infinite distance boundary point are characterised by a choice of rational parabolic subgroup P(Q) of the local isometry group G and an element of the Cartan subalgebra of P(Q). Under the assumption that M satisfies the "compactifiability" constraint of arXiv:2412.03640 and some mild condi…

Observational data, while larger, suffer from unmeasured confounding. Therefore, we can combine the strengths of both data sources for more accurate results. This work extends existing methods that use RCTs to debias conditional average treatment effects (CATEs) estimated in observ…

AI Behavioral Science
We discuss the three main areas comprising the new and emerging field of "AI Behavioral Science". This includes not only how AI can enhance research in the behavioral sciences, but also how the behavioral sciences can be used to study and better design AI and to understand how the world will change as AI and humans interact in increasingly layered and complex ways.

One task to rule them all: A closer look at traffic classification generalizability
Existing website fingerprinting and traffic classification solutions do not work well when the evaluation context changes, as their performances often heavily rely on context-specific assumptions. To clarify this problem, we take three prior solutions presented for different but similar traffic classification and website fingerprinting tasks, and apply each solution's model to another solution's dataset. We pinpoint dataset-specific and model-specific properties that lead each of them to overpe…

The impact on health system expenditure in Australia and OECD countries from accelerated NCD mortality decline through prevention or treatment strategies to achieve Sustainable Development Goal Target 3.4
Background: It is unclear what the relative impacts of prevention or treatment of NCDs are on future health system expenditure. First, we estimated expenditure in Australia for prevention vs treatment pathways to achieve SDG target 3.4. Second, we applied the method to 34 other OECD countries. Methods: We used GBD data to estimate average annual percentage changes in disease incidence, remission, and CFRs from 1990-2021, and projected to 2030 to estimate business-as-usual (BAU) reductions in …

Optimizing HERON for 100 PeV Neutrino Detection
The Hybrid Elevated Radio Observatory for Neutrinos (HERON) is designed to target the astrophysical flux of Earth-skimming tau neutrinos at 100 PeV. HERON consists of multiple compact, phased radio arrays embedded within a larger sparse array of antennas, located on the side of a mountain. This hybrid design provides both excellent sensitivity and a sub-degree pointing resolution. To design HERON, a suite of simulations accounting for tau propagation, shower development, radio emission, and ant…

Wavelength Requirements for Life Detection via Reflected Light Spectroscopy of Rocky Exoplanets
Searching for signs of life is a primary goal of the Habitable Worlds Observatory (HWO). However, merely detecting oxygen, methane, or other widely discussed biosignatures is insufficient evidence for a biosphere. In parallel with biosignature detection, exoplanet life detection additionally requires characterization of the broader physicochemical context to evaluate planetary habitability and the plausibility that life could produce a particular biosignature in a given environment. Life detect…

Single-click protocols for remote state preparation using weak coherent pulses
Remote state preparation (RSP) allows one party to remotely prepare a known quantum state on another party's qubit using entanglement. This can be used in quantum networks to perform applications such as blind quantum computing or long-distance quantum key distribution (QKD) with quantum repeaters. Devices to perform RSP, referred to as a client, ideally have low hardware requirements, such as only sending photonic qubits. A weak coherent pulse source offers a practical alternative to true sing…

Mechanized Metatheory of Forward Reasoning for End-to-End Linearizability Proofs
In the past decade, many techniques have been developed to prove linearizability, the gold standard of correctness for concurrent data structures. Intuitively, linearizability requires that every operation on a concurrent data structure appears to take place instantaneously, even when interleaved with other operations. Most recently, Jayanti et al. presented the first sound and complete "forward reasoning" technique for proving linearizability that relates the behavior of a concurrent data stru…

I, Robot? Socio-Technical Implications of Ultra-Personalized AI-Powered AAC; an Autoethnographic Account
Generic AI auto-complete for message composition often fails to capture the nuance of personal identity, requiring significant editing. While harmless in low-stakes settings, for users of Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) devices, who rely on such systems for everyday communication, this editing burden is particularly acute. Intuitively, the need for edits would be lower if language models were personalized to the communication of the specific user. While technically feasible, su…

Minimal elements in the skew extended 0-Hecke poset
The row-strict 0-Hecke action on standard immaculate skew tableaux was studied by the present authors, who showed that it gives rise to a bounded poset, called the \emph{skew immaculate Hecke poset}, and consequently to a cyclic 0-Hecke module. It was further shown that the subposet of skew standard extended immaculate tableaux always has a unique maximal element, but may have multiple minimal elements. In this paper we focus on these minimal elements, completely classifying them for a family o…

ChemZz I: Comparing Oxygen and Iron Abundance Patterns in the Milky Way, the Local Group and Cosmic Noon
Our understanding of the chemical evolution of galaxies has advanced through measurements from both distant galaxies across redshift, and our own Milky Way (MW). To form a comprehensive picture, it is essential to unify these constraints, placing them on a common scale and parlance and to understand their systematic differences. In this study, we homogenize oxygen and iron measurements from star-forming galaxies at Cosmic Noon ($z{\sim}2-3$) with resolved stellar abundances from the Local Group…

Perspective: Mitigation of structural defects during the growth of two-dimensional van der Waals chalcogenides by molecular beam epitaxy
The growth of wafer-scale van der Waals (vdW) thin films and heterostructures by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is important for future applications in quantum technologies, next generation optoelectronic devices, and fundamental physics investigations. When grown using co-deposition methods that are typically used for compound semiconductor MBE, vdW materials typically show a high density of structural defects including twin or antiphase domains, spiral growth, and pyramidal growth. These defect…

Kinematics of Circumgalactic O VI Gas and Disk Rotation of $z\approx0.2$ Star-forming Galaxies
Quasar sightline observations reveal that low-ionization-state gas corotates with the galaxy disk and often at sub-centrifugal velocities, suggesting that the gas is spiraling towards the galaxy disk. However, while observations ubiquitously detect O VI absorption around low-redshift, $\sim L^*$ star-forming galaxies, the relationship between O VI and the galaxy disk, especially the kinematics, is not well-established. This work focuses on the O VI kinematics and its comparison with that of the…

On the Limits of Selective AI Prediction: A Case Study in Clinical Decision Making
AI has the potential to augment human decision making. However, even high-performing models can produce inaccurate predictions when deployed. These inaccuracies, combined with automation bias, where humans overrely on AI predictions, can result in worse decisions. Selective prediction, in which potentially unreliable model predictions are hidden from users, has been proposed as a solution. This approach assumes that when AI abstains and informs the user so, humans make decisions as they would w…

In today's Universe, most galaxies are rotationally supported against gravity. However, a small fraction of the most massive galaxies which are no longer forming stars (i.e., they are quiescent) are dispersion supported, and are termed 'slow-rotators.' These galaxies, which are highly evolved and often exist in dense cluster environments, are theorized to be formed by a history of merger activity that on average decreases the angular momentum of the merged system and disturbs any disk structure…
