Amphiphilic Motif Triggers Microheterogeneity in Low‐Melting Mixtures

Microheterogeneity in low‐melting mixtures of ethylene glycol and chemically modified choline derivatives synthesized on purpose is here proposed. Novel cholinium ions with one or two N ‐butyl substituents or an N ‐hydroxybutyl chain are synthesized for the first time. Synthesis...

An infinite-times renewal equation

In neuroscience, the time elapsed since the last discharge has been used to predict the probability of the next discharge. Such predictions can be improved taking into account the last two discharge times, and preferentially more. Such multi-times renewal processes arise in many...

Emergent states and algebras from the double-scaling limit of pure states in SYK

A bstract Recent work has emphasized a subtlety of large- N limits in AdS/CFT: a sequence of pure states in the microscopic theory need not remain pure with respect to the emergent algebra of observables. We study this phenomenon for Kourkoulou-Maldacena (KM) states in the double...

Symmetry-protected topology and deconfined solitons in a multi-link $\mathbb{Z}_2$ gauge theory

With the advent of quantum simulators, exploring exotic collective phenomena in lattice models with local symmetries and unconventional geometries is at reach of near-term experiments. Motivated by recent progress in this direction, we study a \mathbb{Z}_2 ℤ 2 lattice gauge theor...

Transformative Continuity: A Methodology for Genealogical and Typological Analysis

Transformative Continuity: A Methodology for Genealogical and Typological Analysis presents a general methodological framework for reconstructing historical continuity across processes of transformation without reducing continuity to identity, direct borrowing, or simple causal t...

A numerical implementation of the NLO DIS structure functions in the dipole picture

We present a numerical program that evaluates deep inelastic scattering (DIS) structure functions at next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy in the dipole picture. In this numerical implementation the NLO DIS impact factors with massive quarks are written in a form that ensures a st...

Codebase release 1.0 for NLODIS

We present a numerical program that evaluates deep inelastic scattering (DIS) structure functions at next-to-leading order (NLO) accuracy in the dipole picture. In this numerical implementation the NLO DIS impact factors with massive quarks are written in a form that ensures a st...

Non-Gaussian Noise Magnetometry Using Local Spin Qubits

Atomic scale qubits, as may be realized in nitrogen vacancy (NV) centers in diamond, offer the opportunity to study magnetic field noise with nanometer scale spatial resolution. Using these spin qubits, one can learn a great deal about the magnetic-field noise correlations, and c...

Semi-universality of conformal higher-derivative and conformal higher-spin fields

A bstract In this paper, we study thermal partition functions of free exotic conformal field theories, focusing on conformal higher-derivative and conformal higher-spin fields, in the semi-universal limit | ω i | → 1. It was recently conjectured in [1] that, in this limit, the th...

Electroweak baryogenesis with BARYONET: A self-contained review of the WKB approach

We present a comprehensive, self-contained pedagogical computation of the baryon asymmetry of the Universe within electroweak baryogenesis (EWBG), from the derivation of the semiclassical, CP-dependent force to the formulation and solution of the transport equations obtained from...
