Robustness over efficiency in climate coalitions: a bistable model and a map of architectures

Juergen Renn

Designs for international climate cooperation face a trade-off between efficiency and robustness to institutional erosion. We formalize it in a stylized coalition-formation game wi…

Insights into the Nature of Quantum Emitters in Electron-Irradiated hexagonal Boron Nitride

Mouli Hazra, Anna Rupp, Mohammad N. Mishuk +10

Quantum emitters in hexagonal boron nitride (hBN) have emerged as a promising solid-state platform for quantum technology applications. However, a persistent challenge in the field…

Insightful analysis of historical sources at scales beyond human capabilities using unsupervised Machine Learning and XAI

Oliver Eberle, Jochen Büttner, Hassan El-Hajj +3

Historical materials are abundant. Yet, piecing together how human knowledge has evolved and spread both diachronically and synchronically remains a challenge that can so far only…

Discriminating mixed qubit states with collective measurements

Lorcan O. Conlon, Falk Eilenberger, Ping Koy Lam +1

It is a central fact in quantum mechanics that non-orthogonal states cannot be distinguished perfectly. This property ensures the security of quantum key distribution. It is theref…

QUICK -- Design of a satellite-based quantum light source for quantum communication and extended physical theory tests in space

Najme Ahmadi, Sven Schwertfeger, Philipp Werner +19

Modern quantum technologies have matured such that they can now be used in space applications, e.g., long-distance quantum communication. Here, we present the design of a compact t…

Evolution and trade-off dynamics of functional load

Erich Round, Rikker Dockum, Robin J. Ryder

Function Load (FL) quantifies the contributions by phonological contrasts to distinctions made across the lexicon. Previous research has linked particularly low values of FL to sou…

Tree balance indices: a comprehensive survey

Mareike Fischer, Lina Herbst, Sophie Kersting +2

Tree balance plays an important role in phylogenetics and other research areas, which is why several indices to measure tree balance have been introduced over the years. Neverthele…

Spatial coherence of room-temperature monolayer WSe exciton-polaritons in a trap

Hangyong Shan, Lukas Lackner, Bo Han +16

The emergence of spatial and temporal coherence of light emitted from solid-state systems is a fundamental phenomenon, rooting in a plethora of microscopic processes. It is intrins…

Re-evaluating phoneme frequencies

Jayden L. Macklin-Cordes, Erich R. Round

Causal processes can give rise to distinctive distributions in the linguistic variables that they affect. Consequently, a secure understanding of a variable's distribution can hold…

The effect of temperature on basal metabolism of Mnemiopsis leidyi

Jamileh Javidpour, Eduardo Ramirez-Romero, Thomas Larsen

To evaluate the influence of temperature on metabolic performance on the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, we exposed fully acclimatized adults to conditions typical for the a…

Phylogenetic signal in phonotactics

Jayden L. Macklin-Cordes, Claire Bowern, Erich R. Round

Phylogenetic methods have broad potential in linguistics beyond tree inference. Here, we show how a phylogenetic approach opens the possibility of gaining historical insights from…

Model selection and parameter inference in phylogenetics using Nested Sampling

Patricio Maturana, Brendon J. Brewer, Steffen Klaere +1

Bayesian inference methods rely on numerical algorithms for both model selection and parameter inference. In general, these algorithms require a high computational effort to yield…

Massive migration from the steppe is a source for Indo-European languages in Europe

Wolfgang Haak, Iosif Lazaridis, Nick Patterson +36

We generated genome-wide data from 69 Europeans who lived between 8,000-3,000 years ago by enriching ancient DNA libraries for a target set of almost four hundred thousand polymorp…

Microlensing of pulsar radiation in the Galactic Center

N. Wex, J. Gil, M. Sendyk

We investigate the possibility of identifying massive objects (lenses) in the Galactic Center region (GC) by means of pulsar timing. The well known intensity change due to microlen…
