Quantum enhancement and Doppler-induced suppression in a Kasevich--Chu atom interferometer with motional squeezed states

This paper presents a unified computational framework demonstrating that engineered motional squeezed states can significantly enhance the sensitivity of Kasevich--Chu atom interferometers beyond the semiclassical limit, achieving up to threefold gains through joint population-position measurements while remaining robust against Doppler-induced imperfections.

Similarity Solution of the Fractional Time Independent Advection-Diffusion Equation in Two Dimensions

This paper presents a similarity solution for the two-dimensional fractional time-independent advection-diffusion equation to model atmospheric SO₂ concentrations under varying wind and instability conditions, demonstrating that the method yields accurate predictions that largely fall within a factor of two of Prairie-Grass experimental observations.

Time-Resolved Atomic Mechanisms of Nickel Oxide Transformations

This study introduces a time-resolved imaging platform that synchronizes electron-atom interactions with image capture to reveal the atomic mechanisms of nickel oxide formation and reduction, identifying critical nucleus sizes, active growth sites, and lattice misorientation thresholds that govern metal-oxide transformations.

Spectral Stability of Self-Similar Blow-Up Profiles in One-Dimensional Fluid Models: Operator Realizations and Numerical Instability Counts

This paper investigates the spectral stability and numerical instability counts of self-similar blow-up profiles in one-dimensional fluid models by rigorously defining closed operator realizations, proving three conditional theorems regarding their structure, and providing certified numerical evidence for the CCF and De Gregorio models while highlighting the critical dependence of instability counts on specific realization choices.
