The A Supergiant Eclipsing Binary BM Cas: An Evolved, Intermediate Mass System

T. J. Davidge · 2026

The evolutionary state of the 198 day eclipsing binary BM Cas is examined using spectra that cover five orbital cycles. Radial velocities measured from SiII 6347 and SiII 6371 track the motion of the …

All pure entangled states can lead to fully nonlocal correlations

Martin J. Renner, Edwin Peter Lobo, Arturo Konderak, Remigiusz Augusiak, Antonio Acin · 2026

It is a well-established fact that some quantum correlations can be nonlocal, meaning that they cannot be described by a local hidden variable model. Certain quantum correlations have a form of nonloc…

Can LLP detectors probe the reheating temperature? A case study of vector dark matter

Paulo Areyuna C, Giovanna Cottin, Bastian Diaz Saez, Zeren Simon Wang, Yu Zhang · 2026

We study an extension of the singlet-scalar Higgs portal featuring a dark vector $V_\mu$ and a real scalar $\phi$. The vector is a dark matter (DM) candidate, while $\phi$ is long-lived and decays via…

How Quantum Contextuality disappears in the Classical Limit

Arthur C. R. Dutra, Roberto D. Baldijao, Marcelo Terra Cunha · 2026

The emergence of classicality is fundamentally driven by the interaction between a quantum system and its environment. Foundational open-system approaches, notably the Caldeira-Leggett model, successf…

Lobe Dynamics, Phase-Space Transport, and Non-Adiabatic Leakage Thresholds in the Nonautonomous Kerr-Cat Qubit

Stephen Wiggins · 2026

The Kerr-nonlinear parametric oscillator (KPO) provides a foundational semiclassical model for cat-state quantum hardware. Standard analyses of the KPO typically rely on autonomous, frozen-time approx…

Contextuality from the Projector Overlap Matrix

Ali Can Gunhan, Semahi Serhat Aksoy, Zafer Gedik · 2026

We place several known indicators of Kochen--Specker contextuality -- the KCBS correlator $\chi$, the contextual fraction $\CF$, the Shannon-entropic $n$-cycle inequality of Chaves and Fritz, and the …

How fast can a quantum gate be? Exact speed limits from geometry

Hunter Nelson, Edwin Barnes · 2026

The speed of quantum evolution is limited under finite energy resources. While most quantum speed limits (QSLs) are formulated in terms of quantum states, they can be extended to the evolution operato…

VLTI-GRAVITY measurements of cool evolved stars: II. Pulsation properties and mass-loss process of the Mira star R Car and the red supergiant VX Sgr

D. Jadlovsky, M. Wittkowski, A. Chiavassa, K. Kravchenko, B. Freytag, S. Hofner, J. Krticka, C. Paladini, G. Rau, M. Broz, T. Granzer, M. Weber · 2026

The mass-loss process of red supergiant (RSG) and asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and its relation to variability is poorly constrained. We study two evolved stars, the Mira-type AGB star R Car an…

Form factors of $\mathscr{N}=4$ self-dual Yang-Mills from the chiral algebra bootstrap

Jaazib Charanya, Anthony Morales, Natalie M. Paquette · 2026

The chiral algebra bootstrap (CAB) is a novel bootstrap program for form factors in quantum-integrable self-dual gauge theories, some of which in turn are helicity amplitudes in the corresponding gaug…

Kitchen Sink Anomaly Detection

Ranit Das, Marie Hein, Gregor Kasieczka, Michael Kramer, Lukas Lang, Radha Mastandrea, Louis Moureaux, Alexander Muck, David Shih · 2026

An enormous amount of R&D effort has resulted in many new resonant anomaly detection methods being proposed in recent years. However, the vast majority of previous R&D studies have suffered from two l…

The Be star omicron Cas is indeed the primary of a triple system

Petr Harmanec, Stephenson Yang, Miroslav Slechta, Erika D. Grundstrom, Jose Ribeiro, Adam Harmanec · 2026

Analysis of radial velocities of two narrow absorption components in the Mg II 4481 A line demonstrated that the secondary of the Be star omicron Cas is indeed a close binary system composed of two B7…

Controllable non-Hermitian topology in a dynamically protected cat qubit

Tian-Le Yang, Pei-Rong Han, Zhen-Biao Yang, Shi-Biao Zheng · 2026

Dissipatively stabilized cat qubits are promising for fault-tolerant quantum information processing, yet their non-Hermitian (NH) spectral topology remains largely unexplored. We uncover rich Liouvill…

Can classical theories of gravity produce entanglement?

Anirudh Gundhi, Giorgia Infantino, Angelo Bassi · 2026

A recent paper published on Nature [Nature,646,813(2025)] by Aziz and Howl, claims that quantum particles become entangled when they interact gravitationally, even if the gravitational potential is tr…
