FTB Graph: Determining and Validating First-token Broadcasters and Language-Identity Head Circuits in Multilingual Language Models

Arjun Pillai, Christian Hoang, Anjelo Laroza

Large language models operating in multilingual contexts must resolve target response languages early in generation, yet the causal circuitry governing first-token language identit…

First-Token Broadcasters: Mechanistic Origins of Language Identity and Distributed Robustness in Transformers

Arjun Pillai, Christian Hoang, Anjelo Jann Laroza

Why do multilingual language models sometimes generate in the wrong language, and why is this so hard to fix? We introduce Language Identity Head Ablation (LIHA), a causal interven…

Roadmap on Nanoscale Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Raffi Budakian, Amit Finkler, Alexander Eichler +22

The field of nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging (NanoMRI) was started 30 years ago. It was motivated by the desire to image single molecules and molecular assemblies, such as pro…

Nanoscale engineering and dynamical stabilization of mesoscopic spin textures

Kieren Harkins, Christoph Fleckenstein, Noella D'Souza +16

Thermalization phenomena, while ubiquitous in quantum systems, have traditionally been viewed as obstacles to be mitigated. In this study, we demonstrate the ability, instead, to h…

Electron induced nanoscale nuclear spin relaxation probed by hyperpolarization injection

William Beatrez, Arjun Pillai, Otto Janes +2

We report on experiments that quantify the role of a central electronic spin as a relaxation source for nuclear spins in its nanoscale environment. Our strategy exploits hyperpolar…

Continuously tracked, stable, large excursion trajectories of dipolar coupled nuclear spins

Ozgur Sahin, Hawraa Al Asadi, Paul Schindler +9

We report an experimental approach to excite, stabilize, and continuously track Bloch sphere orbits of dipolar-coupled nuclear spins in a solid. We demonstrate these results on a m…

Electron-to-nuclear spectral mapping via "Galton board" dynamic nuclear polarization

Arjun Pillai, Moniish Elanchezhian, Teemu Virtanen +2

We report on a strategy to indirectly readout the spectrum of an electronic spin via polarization transfer to nuclear spins in its local environment. The nuclear spins are far more…

Floquet prethermalization with lifetime exceeding 90s in a bulk hyperpolarized solid

William Beatrez, Otto Janes, Amala Akkiraju +9

We report the observation of long-lived Floquet prethermal states in a bulk solid composed of dipolar-coupled C nuclei in diamond at room temperature. For precessing nuclear…
