Blazar flares from plasma blobs crossing the broad-line region

Sebastien Le Bihan, Anton Dmytriiev, Andreas Zech ยท 2026

The blazar 3C 279 is well known for its rapid and large-amplitude variability. On 20 December 2013, the source exhibited an orphan {\gamma}-ray flare characterized by a flux-doubling timescale of a feโ€ฆ

Dualistic operational characterization of device-dependent correlation sets via convex analysis in the $(2,m,2)$ Bell scenario

Ryosuke Nogami, Jaeha Lee ยท 2026

We analyze device-dependent correlation sets generated by fixed local dichotomic measurements for two-qubit systems in the $(2,m,2)$ Bell scenario. We consider three fundamental state spaces for the cโ€ฆ

Thermal instability in coronal loops: linking eigenvalue spectra to time-dependent evolution

Adrian Kelly, Rony Keppens, Jordi De Jonghe ยท 2026

Cool, dense condensations such as coronal rain and prominences suggest that coronal plasma can undergo runaway radiative cooling. Connecting this behaviour to linear thermal modes requires us to fullyโ€ฆ

Partial solvability induced by dark states in a box trap with decentered two-body interaction

Hossein Abedi, Nathan L. Harshman, Peter Schmelcher ยท 2026

We consider a generalization of the two-body contact interaction for nonrelativistic particles confined to a one-dimensional box, in which the interaction is decentered, i.e., the particles interact oโ€ฆ

Semi-device-independent self-testing of unitary operations

Rajdeep Paul, Prabuddha Roy, A. K. Pan ยท 2026

We present a hitherto unexplored semi-device-independent (SDI) self-testing protocol designed to certify unitary operations within a variant of prepare-measure framework. We consider a communication gโ€ฆ

Axion Inflation from Heavy-Fermion One-Loop Effects

Kai-Ge Zhang, Jian-Feng He, Chengjie Fu, Zong-Kuan Guo ยท 2026

We derive a one-loop effective description of axion inflation by integrating out a heavy Dirac fermion with an inflaton-dependent complex mass undergoing a smooth localized threshold transition. The tโ€ฆ

Comparing quantum and classical finite state generators

Prasenjit Deb, Almut Beige, Lewis A. Clark ยท 2026

Bell-CHSH-like inequalities have been very successful in benchmarking {\it spatial} quantum correlations. However, as this paper illustrates, they are in general not sufficient for benchmarking {\it tโ€ฆ

Adiabatic self-vibrations of a movable Cooper-pair box generated by inelastic Andreev tunneling

Sunghun Park, Anton V. Parafilo, Leonid Y. Gorelik, Robert I. Shekhter ยท 2026

Self-sustained oscillators produce stable periodic motion robust to dissipation. Such motion is usually achieved by work fed back into the oscillator, but its performance is often limited by frequencyโ€ฆ

LHC di-dijet excesses as signals of fourth-generation tetraquarks

Hsiang-nan Li ยท 2026

We postulate that the excesses of di-dijet events observed at the LHC are attributed to the production of four fourth-generation quarks $b'$ with a mass $m_{b'}\approx 2$ TeV at few-TeV scales. The diโ€ฆ

Statistics of blob properties in two types of coronal streamers

Haiyi Li, Zhenghua Huang, Maria S. Madjarska, Youqian Qi, Hui Fu, Ming Xiong, Lidong Xia ยท 2026

Previous studies have shown that a streamer blob might originate in the lower corona and thus be affected by activity in that region. While the base of one streamer might differ from that of another, โ€ฆ
