When Does the Non-Hermitian Effective Description Fail? A Finite-Size Reliability Map

This paper establishes a finite-size reliability map for non-Hermitian effective descriptions by deriving a conservation-integral theorem that quantifies the drift between postselected and unconditional dynamics, revealing a universal scaling law for the failure threshold that depends on excitation number and system size to provide platform-independent design rules for dissipative quantum experiments.

Finite Local Information Capacity in Continuum Dynamics

This paper establishes a regulator-resolved framework that distinguishes finite local information capacity from spatial lattice spacing and coarse-graining scales, deriving operational error bounds and an effective sigma-model action, and validating the approach through numerical tests on a Klein–Gordon chain to provide a controlled foundation for finite-information models without asserting a unique theory of quantum gravity.

Surface State Decouples Normal Detachment and Slip Initiation in Grip- Optimized Rubber Contacts

This study demonstrates that surface preparation of grip-optimized climbing shoe rubber decouples normal detachment resistance from tangential slip initiation, revealing that pull-off performance cannot reliably predict friction behavior and that both surface state and counter-surface texture must be controlled for accurate performance evaluation.

Collective Optical Excitations and Photoexcited-Carrier Dynamics in the Na 20 @C 240 Core-Shell Nanostructure

Using adiabatic real-time time-dependent density functional theory, this study characterizes the optical response and photoexcited-carrier dynamics of the Na20@C240 core-shell nanostructure, revealing a fragmented plasmon-like resonance in the Na20 core, mixed molecular-polarization modes in the C240 shell, and complex antiphase coupling that redistributes energy toward resonant electron-hole channels with hot carriers ultimately concentrating on the fullerene cage.

Real-time measurement of dielectric properties of lunar regolith simulants

This study utilizes a dual-mode measurement technique to characterize the temperature-dependent complex permittivity of lunar regolith simulants (JSC-1A and NU-LHT-4M) up to their melting points, providing critical data to optimize microwave heating processes for future lunar construction and in-situ resource utilization.

Theoretical prediction of masses and decay constants of bottomonium and bottom-charm mesons with spin dependent Cornell potential

This paper employs a spin-dependent Cornell potential within first-order perturbation theory to accurately predict the mass spectra and decay properties of bottomonium and bottom-charm mesons, achieving high agreement with experimental data and demonstrating the framework's effectiveness through the inclusion of QCD running coupling effects.

Receiver-Limited Fisher Information for Quantum Sensors under Realistic Readout

This paper introduces a receiver-limited Fisher information framework that separates state-level sensitivity from channel and readout constraints, revealing how realistic experimental factors like measurement errors and calibration uncertainty fundamentally alter the performance and optimal operating conditions of quantum sensors.
