Blazar flares from plasma blobs crossing the broad-line region

Sebastien Le Bihan, Anton Dmytriiev, Andreas Zech · 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 fe…

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

Ryosuke Nogami, Jaeha Lee · 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 c…

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

Adrian Kelly, Rony Keppens, Jordi De Jonghe · 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 fully…

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

Hossein Abedi, Nathan L. Harshman, Peter Schmelcher · 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 o…

Semi-device-independent self-testing of unitary operations

Rajdeep Paul, Prabuddha Roy, A. K. Pan · 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 g…

Dynamics of one-dimensional Bose-Josephson Junction in a Box Trap: From Coherent Oscillations to Many-Body Dephasing and Dynamical Freezing

Abhik Kumar Saha, L. F. Calazans de Brito, Rhombik Roy, Romain Dubessy, Barnali Chakrabarti, Arnaldo Gammal · 2026

Understanding how coherent quantum dynamics give way to correlation-dominated behavior in low-dimensional systems remains a central challenge in quantum many-body physics. Here, we address this proble…

On the contribution of the bow shock pulsar wind nebula PSR J0437-4715 to the observed fluxes of GeV-TeV positrons and antiprotons

A. E. Petrov, A. M. Bykov · 2026

The orbital observatories PAMELA and AMS-02 have detected a significant excess in the cosmic ray (CR) positron flux at energies above several tens of GeV. The measured values exceed those expected in …

Axion Inflation from Heavy-Fermion One-Loop Effects

Kai-Ge Zhang, Jian-Feng He, Chengjie Fu, Zong-Kuan Guo · 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 t…

Comparing quantum and classical finite state generators

Prasenjit Deb, Almut Beige, Lewis A. Clark · 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 t…

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 · 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 frequency…

Per-Shot Evaluation of QAOA on Max-Cut: A Black-Box Implementation Comparison with Goemans-Williamson

Evgenii Dolzhkov, Franz G. Fuchs, Dirk Oliver Theis · 2026

The Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) has emerged as a promising approach for addressing combinatorial optimization problems on near-term quantum hardware. In this work, we conduct an …

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

Hsiang-nan Li · 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 di…

Detectability of continuous gravitational waves from planetary-mass companions orbiting compact stars

Abdusattar Kurban, Xia Zhou, Na Wang, Yong-Feng Huang, Wenming Yan, Jianping Yuan, Ali Esamdin, Yu-Bin Wang, Zhigang Wen, Rai Yuen · 2026

Binary systems with ultrashort-period planetary-mass companions are expected to radiate continuous gravitational waves (GWs). However, earlier studies found that the detectability of such systems by t…

Mpemba Effect in an Expanding Lieb-Liniger Bose gas in a hard wall box

Sumita Datta · 2026

The Mpemba effect, broadly understood as the counterintuitive phenomenon in which a system initially farther from equilibrium relaxes faster than a system closer to equilibrium, has been widely studie…

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 · 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, …

Connection between the contextuality breaking and incompatibility breaking qubit channels

Swati Kumari, Sumit Mukherjee, R. Prabhu · 2026

Contextuality and measurement incompatibility are two fundamental aspects of nonclassicality, and their manifestations in observed quantum correlations are often deeply interconnected. Recently, measu…

Heating of a plasma sheet in nonequilibrium ionization with nonthermal electrons

Jin-Yi Lee, John C. Raymond, Katharine K. Reeves, Chengcai Shen, Stephen Kahler, Yong-Jae Moon, Yeon-Han Kim · 2026

A flux rope eruption on September 10, 2017 provides unique observations of the plasma sheet beneath the rising flux rope. The plasma sheet is likely in a nonequilibrium state in terms of both ionizati…
