The S-matrix Bootstrap Reloaded

Quantum field theories (QFTs) are the backbone upon which the edifice of modern physics is built. In this thesis we explore the S-matrix bootstrap which is a non-perturbative method that constrains the vast space of QFTs by using consistency conditions tha ...

Analytical Expressions for Lightning Electromagnetic Fields With Arbitrary Channel-Base Current. Part II: Validation and Computational Performance

Farhad Rachidi-Haeri, Marcos Rubinstein

This article provides the implementation procedure, the validation, and some considerations on the computational efforts of the analytical expressions developed for the lightning electromagnetic fields presented in the companion paper. The validation is pr ...

Amplitude analysis for the measurement of the photon polarisation in B rightarrow K pi pi gamma decays

Violaine Bellée

This work proposes a method to measure the photon polarisation in

B^+ \rightarrow K^+ \pi^- \pi^+ \gamma

decays and prepares the necessary elements for this measurement using the data sets collected by the LHCb experiment at CERN in

Molecular motor crossing the frontier of classical to quantum tunneling motion

Harald Brune, Samuel Thomas Stolz

The reliability by which molecular motor proteins convert undirected energy input into directed motion or transport has inspired the design of innumerable artificial molecular motors. We have realized and investigated an artificial molecular motor applying ...

Moire Flat Bands in Twisted Double Bilayer Graphene

Oleg Yazyev, Quansheng Wu, Seyedeh Fatemeh Haddadi Givi

We investigate twisted double bilayer graphene (TDBG), a four-layer system composed of two AB-stacked graphene bilayers rotated with respect to each other by a small angle. Our ab initio band structure calculations reveal a considerable energy gap at the c ...

Zero-Index Weyl Metamaterials

Romain Christophe Rémy Fleury, Farzad Zangeneh Nejad

Depending on the geometry of their Fermi surfaces, Weyl semimetals and their analogs in classical systems have been classified into two types. In type-I Weyl semimetals (WSMs), the conelike spectrum at the Weyl point is not tilted, leading to a pointlike c ...

Classical nucleation theory predicts the shape of the nucleus in homogeneous solidification

Michele Ceriotti, Bingqing Cheng

Macroscopic models of nucleation provide powerful tools for understanding activated phase transition processes. These models do not provide atomistic insights and can thus sometimes lack material-specific descriptions. Here, we provide a comprehensive fram ...

Model-Class Selection Using Clustering and Classification for Structural Identification and Prediction

Ian Smith, Sai Ganesh Sarvotham Pai

Structural identification using physics-based models and subsequent prediction have much potential to enhance civil infrastructure asset-management decision-making. Interpreting monitoring information in the presence of multiple uncertainty sources and sys ...

Spontaneous conformal symmetry breaking in fishnet CFT

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Georgios Karananas

Quantum field theories with exact but spontaneously broken conformal invariance have an intriguing feature: their vacuum energy (cosmological constant) is equal to zero. Up to now, the only known ultraviolet complete theories where conformal symmetry can b ...

Multivariate extremes over a random number of observations

Simone Padoan, Stefano Rizzelli

The classical multivariate extreme-value theory concerns the modeling of extremes in a multivariate random sample, suggesting the use of max-stable distributions. In this work, the classical theory is extended to the case where aggregated data, such as max ...

GarNet: A Two-Stream Network for Fast and Accurate 3D Cloth Draping

Pascal Fua, Mathieu Salzmann, Victor Constantin, Erhan Gündogdu

While Physics-Based Simulation (PBS) can accurately drape a 3D garment on a 3D body, it remains too costly for real-time applications, such as virtual try-on. By contrast, inference in a deep network, requiring a single forward pass, is much faster. Taking ...

Investigation of the fine structure of antihydrogen

Shirit Cohen, Juan Mario Michan

At the historic Shelter Island Conference on the Foundations of Quantum Mechanics in 1947, Willis Lamb reported an unexpected feature in the fine structure of atomic hydrogen: a separation of the 2S(1/2) and 2P(1/2) states(1). The observation of this separ ...
