The production of meaning in the processing of natural language

Christopher J. Agostino, Quan Le Thien, Nayan D'Souza +1

Understanding the fundamental mechanisms governing the production of meaning in the processing of natural language is critical for designing safe, thoughtful, engaging, and empower…

Topological shaping of vortex neutron beams using forked phase gratings

S. McKay, S. R. Parnell, R. M. Dalgliesh +6

Beams of light or matter that carry well-defined states of orbital angular momentum (OAM) are promising probes of topological and textured condensed matter systems such as magnetic…

Analysis of a Spatialized Brain-Body-Environment System

Denizhan Pak, Quan Le Thien, Christopher J. Agostino

The brain-body-environment framework studies adaptive behavior through embodied and situated agents, emphasizing interactions between brains, biomechanics, and environmental dynami…

A quantum semantic framework for natural language processing

Christopher J. Agostino, Quan Le Thien, Molly Apsel +3

Semantic degeneracy represents a fundamental property of natural language that extends beyond simple polysemy to encompass the combinatorial explosion of potential interpretations…

Observation of a giant Goos-Hänchen shift for matter waves

S. McKay, V. O. de Haan, J. Leiner +8

The Goos-Hänchen (GH) shift describes a phenomenon in which a specularly-reflected beam is laterally translated along the reflecting surface such that the incident and reflected ra…

Entangled-Beam Reflectometry and Goos-Hänchen Shift

Q. Le Thien, R. Pynn, G. Ortiz

We introduce the technique of Entangled-Beam Reflectometry for extracting spatially correlated (magnetic or non-magnetic) information from material surfaces or thin films. Our ampl…

Neutron spin echo is a "quantum tale of two paths''

S. McKay, A. A. M. Irfan, Q. Le Thien +7

We describe an experiment that strongly supports a two-path interferometric model in which the spin-up and spin-down components of each neutron propagate coherently along spatially…

Implications of Recent KATRIN Results for Lower-Limits on Neutrino Masses

Ephraim Fischbach, Dennis E. Krause, Quan Le Thien +1

Recently announced results from the KATRIN collaboration imply an upper bound on the effective electron anti-neutrino mass , . Here we exp…

Spin-Textured Neutron Beams with Orbital Angular Momentum

Quan Le Thien, Sam McKay, Roger Pynn +1

We present a rigorous theoretical framework underpinning the technique of spin-echo modulated small-angle neutron scattering (SEMSANS), and show how the technique can be extended i…

Unitarily Inequivalent Vacua and Long-Range Forces: Phenomenology with Scalar Boson Mass-Shift

Quan Le Thien, Dennis E. Krause

We explore the impact of a sudden shift in the mass of a scalar boson field on long-range forces mediated by this field under the framework of unitarily inequivalent vacua. Since t…

The 2-Neutrino-Exchange Potential with Mixing: A New Arena for Neutrino Mixing and CP-Violation

Q. Le Thien, D. E. Krause

The 2-neutrino exchange potential (2NEP) is a Standard Model (SM) weak potential due to the exchange of virtual neutrino-antineutrino pairs. Consequently, many aspects of neutrino…

The 2-Neutrino Exchange Potential with Mixing: A Probe of Neutrino Physics and CP Violation

D. E. Krause, Q. Le Thien

The 2-neutrino exchange potential is a Standard Model weak potential arising from the exchange of virtual neutrino-antineutrino pairs which must include all neutrino properties, in…

Spin-Independent Two-Neutrino Exchange Potential with Mixing and -Violation

Quan Le Thien, Dennis E. Krause

We develop a new approach for calculating the spin-independent 2-neutrino exchange potential (2-NEP) between non-relativistic fermions which places emphasis on the neutrino vacuum…

Enhanced Pinning For Vortices in Hyperuniform Substrates and Emergent Hyperuniform Vortex States

Q. Le Thien, D. McDermott, C. J. Olson Reichhardt +1

Disordered hyperuniformity is a state of matter which has isotropic liquid like properties while simultaneously having crystalline like properties such as little variation in the d…

Orientational Ordering, Buckling, and Dynamic Transitions for Vortices Interacting with a Periodic Quasi-One Dimensional Substrate

Q. Le Thien, D. McDermott, C. J. Olson Reichhardt +1

We examine the statics and dynamics of vortices in the presence of a periodic quasi-one dimensional substrate, focusing on the limit where the vortex lattice constant is smaller th…
