Generalized Statistics on Lattices Kobayashi, Ryohei; Li, Yuyang; Xue, Hanyu; Hsin, Po-Shen; Chen, Yu-An The statistics of particles and extended excitations, such as loops and membranes, are fundamental to modern condensed matter physics, high-energy physics, and quantum information science, yet a comprehensive lattice-level framework for computing them remains elusive. In this work, we develop …

Stratospheric Chlorine Processing After the Unprecedented Hunga Tonga Eruption Zhang, Jun; Wang, Peidong; Kinnison, Douglas; Solomon, Susan; Guan, Jian; Stone, Kane; Zhu, Yunqian Following the Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha'apai (HTHH) eruption in January 2022, significant reductions in stratospheric hydrochloric acid (HCl) were observed in the Southern Hemisphere mid‐latitudes during the latter half of 20…

Spatiotemporal Facility‐Level Patterns of Summer Heat Exposure, Vulnerability, and Risk in United States Prison Landscapes Ovienmhada, Ufuoma; Hines, Mia; Krisch, Michael; Diongue, Ahmed T; Minchew, Brent; Wood, Danielle R Heat is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality. People who are incarcerated are especially vulnerable to heat exposure due to demographic characteristics and…

Insights Into Changing Interglacial Conditions in Subarctic Canada From MIS 11 Through MIS 5e From Seasonally Resolved Speleothem Records Batchelor, Cameron J; McGee, David; Shakun, Jeremy D; Woodhead, Jon; Jost, Adam B; Arnold, Sarah; Horne, Greg; Kinsley, Christopher W; Freudenburg‐Puricelli, Markey High‐resolution records from past interglacial climates help constrain future responses to globa…

Symmetry-based efficient simulation of higher-order coherences in quantum many-body superradiance Holzinger, Raphael; Rubies-Bigorda, Oriol; Yelin, Susanne F.; Ritsch, Helmut We propose an efficient method to numerically simulate the superradiant emission dynamics of large numbers of quantum emitters in ordered arrays in the presence of long-range dipole-dipole interactions mediated by the vacuum…

Dynamical generation and transfer of nonclassical states in strongly interacting light-matter systems in cavities Tutunnikov, Ilia; Rokaj, Vasil; Cao, Jianshu; Sadeghpour, HR We propose leveraging strong and ultrastrong light-matter coupling to efficiently generate and exchange nonclassical light and quantum matter states. Two initial conditions are considered: (a) a displaced quadrature-squeezed…

Environment-assisted quantum transport of excitons in perovskite nanocrystal superlattices Blach, Daria D; Lumsargis-Roth, Victoria A; Chuang, Chern; Clark, Daniel E; Deng, Shibin; Williams, Olivia F; Li, Christina W; Cao, Jianshu; Huang, Libai Transport of energy carriers in solid-state materials is determined by their wavefunctions and interactions with the environment. While quantum transport …

Spatially Resolved Temperature Response Functions to CO2 Emissions Freese, Lyssa M; Giani, Paolo; Fiore, Arlene M; Selin, Noelle E Carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions affect local temperature; quantifying that local response is important for learning about the earth system, the impacts of mitigation, and adaptation needs. We assume the climate system can be represented as a time-dependent linear syste…

Evidence for Magnetically‐Driven Accretion in the Distal Solar System Mansbach, Elias N; Weiss, Benjamin P; Lima, Eduardo A; Sowell, Michael; Kirschvink, Joseph L; Fu, Roger R; Cambioni, Saverio; Bai, Xue‐Ning; Ream, Jodie B; Anai, Chisato; Kobayashi, Atsuko; Hidaka, Hironori Paleomagnetic measurements of meteorites indicate that magnetic fields existed in the inner solar nebula capable of drivin…

Toward structure-preserving quantum encodings Parzygnat, Arthur J.; Bradley, Tai-Danae; Vlasic, Andrew; Pham, Anh Harnessing the potential computational advantage of quantum computers for machine learning tasks relies on the uploading of classical data onto quantum computers through what are commonly referred to as quantum encodings. The choice of such encodings may vary substantially from one ta…

Astrobiological Potential of Rocks Acquired by the Perseverance Rover at a Sedimentary Fan Front in Jezero Crater, Mars The Perseverance rover has collected seven oriented samples of sedimentary rocks, all likely older than the oldest signs of widespread life on Earth, at the exposed base of the western fan in Jezero crater, Mars. The samples include a sulfate‐ and clay‐bearing mudstone and sands…

Nonmonotonic Band Flattening near the Magic Angle of Twisted Bilayer MoTe2 Deng, Yujun; Holtzmann, William; Zhu, Ziyan; Zaklama, Timothy; Majchrzak, Paulina; Taniguchi, Takashi; Watanabe, Kenji; Hashimoto, Makoto; Lu, Donghui; Jozwiak, Chris; Bostwick, Aaron; Rotenberg, Eli; Fu, Liang; Devereaux, Thomas P; Xu, Xiaodong; Shen, Zhi-Xun Twisted bilayer MoTe2 (tMoTe2) is an emergent platform for expl…

Tensor Networks for Noninvertible Symmetries in 3+1⁢D and Beyond Gorantla, Pranay; Shao, Shu-Heng; Tantivasadakarn, Nathanan Tensor networks provide a natural language for noninvertible symmetries in general Hamiltonian lattice models. We use ZX-diagrams, which are tensor network presentations of quantum circuits, to define a noninvertible operator implementing the Wegner duality in 3+1⁢D lattice…
