Minimal-length kinematics of coherent light and a proposed two-color vacuum chronoscopy

Zhi-Wei Wang, Saurya Das, Samuel L. Braunstein

The unification of quantum theory and general relativity suggests the existence of a minimal measurable length, leading to a generalized uncertainty principle (GUP) and an energy-d…

Extracting Chern numbers from the equilibrium transport noise of multiband bosons

Zhi-Wei Wang, Samuel L. Braunstein

We show that the equilibrium transport noise of a multiband bosonic system carries a measurable imprint of its Chern numbers, and we give the protocol that extracts them. For elect…

The Hodge structure of Berry-phase transport: topology, geometry, and noise

Zhi-Wei Wang, Samuel L. Braunstein

We show that the Hodge-de Rham decomposition of the Berry curvature organises the transport of a Bloch band and its fluctuations within a single geometric structure. Splitting the…

A sharp bound on spacetime distance from quantum entanglement

Zhi-Wei Wang, Arshid Shabir, Mir Faizal +1

Ryu-Takayanagi established how boundary entanglement encodes bulk area. We provide the metric counterpart: boundary mutual information imposes a rigorous lower bound on bulk geodes…

Lubkin-Page typicality bounds for Type~II von~Neumann factors

Zhi-Wei Wang, Samuel L. Braunstein

Typicality arguments for emergent spacetime rely on the Lubkin-Page bounds, which show that generic quantum states have vanishing correlations between subsystems. These bounds assu…

Hodge Topology of Semiclassical Transport: A Coordinate-Free Geometric Framework for the Anomalous Hall Effect and Non-Linear Berry Dipole

Zhi-Wei Wang, Samuel L. Braunstein

We establish a coordinate-free differential geometric framework for anomalous transport in topological bands using the Hodge-de Rham decomposition of the Brillouin zone. Standard f…

Quantum typicality survives non-Abelian gauge constraints: exact analytical prediction confirmed in lattice gauge theory

Zhi-Wei Wang, Samuel L. Braunstein

Arguments for emergent spacetime require that quantum typicality, the generic absence of inter-subsystem correlations, persists on the physical Hilbert space of a gauge theory, whe…

Exact Geometric Typicality and Bipartite Entanglement from the Projected Central Limit Theorem on Hyperspheres

Zhi-Wei Wang, Pei-Wen Li, Samuel L. Braunstein

Starting from the exact Projected Central Limit Theorem on hyperspheres, we rederive the Beta distribution for subsystem occupation probabilities and Lubkin's purity formula from e…

Non-Perturbative Closed Form for the Typical Bipartite Mutual Information of Haar-Random States

Zhi-Wei Wang, Pei-Wen Li, Samuel L. Braunstein

The average bipartite quantum mutual information of Haar-random pure states can be expressed exactly through Page's formula in terms of digamma functions.…

Dark Glueball Direct Detection

Ji-Wei Li, Roman Pasechnik, Wei Wang +1

We consider glueball dark matter (DM) in a Yang-Mills dark sector confined at scale and coupled to the Standard Model through electrically and dark-color charged vector-like…

Novel Bounds From The Weak Gravity and Festina Lente Conjectures

Fayez Abu-Ajamieh, Pratik Chattopadhyay, Nobuchika Okada +2

We demonstrate that the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) and the Festina-Lente Conjecture (FLC) yield novel bounds on fifth force searches and milli-Charged Particles (mCPs), as well…

Are there minimal exceptional aGUTs from stable 5D orbifolds?

Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Alan S. Cornell, Aldo Deandrea +4

In analysing five dimensional orbifolds with exceptional gauge groups, we seek to find stable vacua configurations which satisfy the minimal requirements for asymptotic grand unifi…

Glueball Axion-Like Particles

Pierluca Carenza, Roman Pasechnik, Zhi-Wei Wang

Dark Yang-Mills sectors that confine to form stable composite states, known as glueballs, have been traditionally proposed as a potential explanation for cosmological Dark Matter (…

General vacuum stability of orbifold gauge breaking and application to asymptotic grand unification

Giacomo Cacciapaglia, Alan S. Cornell, Aldo Deandrea +4

We examine the vacuum stability of gauge symmetry breaking in five dimensions, compactified on the orbifold. We consider , ,…

Composite heavy axion-like dark matter

Pierluca Carenza, Roman Pasechnik, Zhi-Wei Wang

We propose a novel class of Dark Matter (DM) candidates in the form of a heavy composite Axion-Like Particle (ALP) with highly suppressed electromagnetic interactions populating va…
