Entanglement Negativity in Noisy Quantum Volume Sampling
Elijah Pelofske, Stephan Eidenbenz
The Quantum Volume protocol uses scrambling random circuits to benchmark NISQ computers. Quantum Volume is generally well-regarded as a benchmark for small, noisy, quantum computer…
Search For a Counterpart to the Subsolar Mass Gravitational Wave Candidate S251112cm
Nicholas Vieira, Noah Franz, Bhagya Subrayan +49
The recent candidate gravitational-wave (GW) alert from a compact object merger involving at least one subsolar mass (SSM) object has prompted questions about their origins. S25111…
SN 2023rve: A Type II Supernova with No Nebular Oxygen
Melissa Rosowsky, Stefano Valenti, Aravind P. Ravi +21
We report on multiband photometric and spectroscopic observations of SN 2023rve, a nearby Type II supernova (SN II) discovered in galaxy NGC 1097 (D= Mpc). Nearby SNe…
JWST observations of SN 2024abup: First Detection of CO in a broad-lined Type Ic Supernova and Constraints on r-process Nucleosynthesis
Manisha Shrestha, Lindsey A. Kwok, David J. Sand +42
SN 2024abup is a nearby broad-lined Type Ic supernova (SN Ic-bl) in NGC 0681 at a distance of 23.3 \pm 1.6 Mpc. As energetic explosions of massive stars, SNe Ic-bl are considered a…
Early interaction signatures and an extended plateau phase in Type II SN 2020aze
B. Ailawadhi, R. Dastidar, K. Misra +27
We present a photometric and spectroscopic analysis of the fast-declining Type II SN 2020aze, observed in optical bands from 2.2 to 137.4 days after explosion. The V-band light cur…
The Eye of Sauron in SN 2025ngs: a Short-plateau Cousin of SN 1998S with Evidence for a Ring-like Circumstellar Medium
Conor L. Ransome, David J. Sand, K. Azalee Bostroem +35
Interacting supernovae probe the twilight years of massive stars, exhibiting signatures of interaction between the supernova ejecta and surrounding material expelled from the proge…
