Frequency control and coherent excitation transfer in a nanostring resonator network

Matthias Pernpeintner, Philip Schmidt, Daniel Schwienbacher +2

Coupling, synchronization, and non-linear dynamics of resonator modes are omnipresent in nature and highly relevant for a multitude of applications ranging from lasers to Josephson…

Quarkonium suppression in heavy-ion collisions: an open quantum system approach

Nora Brambilla, Miguel A. Escobedo, Joan Soto +1

We address the evolution of heavy-quarkonium states in an expanding quark-gluon plasma by implementing effective field theory techniques in the framework of open quantum systems. I…

Direct observation of dynamical quantum phase transitions in an interacting many-body system

P. Jurcevic, H. Shen, P. Hauke +7

Dynamical quantum phase transitions (DQPTs) extend the concept of phase transitions and thus universality to the non-equilibrium regime. In this letter, we investigate DQPTs in a s…

Minkowski concentricity and complete simplices

René Brandenberg, Bernardo González Merino

This paper considers the radii functionals (circumradius, inradius, and diameter) as well as the Minkowski asymmetry for general (possibly non-symmetric) gauge bodies. A generaliza…

First measurement of proton's charge form factor at very low with initial state radiation

M. Mihovilovič, A. B. Weber, P. Achenbach +36

We report on a new experimental method based on initial-state radiation (ISR) in e-p scattering, in which the radiative tail of the elastic e-p peak contains information on the pro…

Pair correlations and equidistribution

Christoph Aistleitner, Thomas Lachmann, Florian Pausinger

A deterministic sequence of real numbers in the unit interval is called \emph{equidistributed} if its empirical distribution converges to the uniform distribution. Furthermore, the…
