Emergence of Local Ordering and Mesoscale Giant Number Fluctuations in Active Turbulence

This paper demonstrates that increasing activity or reducing instability timescales in two-dimensional dense active suspensions drives a structural transition to a mixed state of locally polar-ordered regions and chaotic domains, characterized by intense vortices, giant number fluctuations, and universal statistical behavior unified by an energy-based order parameter.

Reducing the Cost of Energy Differences in Variational Monte Carlo with Spotlight Sampling

This paper introduces "spotlight sampling," an approximate sampling scheme that leverages fragmented Hamiltonians and correlated sampling to reduce the computational cost of predicting energy differences in Variational Monte Carlo from standard scaling to essentially linear with system size, as demonstrated in tests on bond stretching and π\pi-system delocalization.

Extended Structural Dynamics and the Lorentz Abraham Dirac Equation: A Deformable Charge Interpretation

This paper resolves the well-known pathologies of the Lorentz Abraham Dirac equation by modeling charged particles as finite, deformable spheres with internal breathing modes, thereby deriving a causal radiation reaction force that eliminates pre-acceleration and runaway solutions while providing a mechanical interpretation of the Schott term as reversible internal energy storage.
