Neutrino flavor instabilities intermediate between slow and fast

Nicolas Viaux, Lucas Johns

The neutrino flavor composition in supernovae and neutron star mergers is shaped by flavor instabilities, which are commonly classified into three types: slow (SFI), fast (FFI), an…

Thermodynamics of Ahn--Doherty--Landahl Continuous Quantum Error Correction

Juan Garcia-Nila, Pedro B. Melo, Lucas Johns

Continuous quantum error correction (CQEC) replaces discrete syndrome measurements and recovery operations with continuous syndrome extraction and real-time Hamiltonian feedback. H…

An Analytic Threshold for LESA-Driven Negative ELN Flux Directions in Core-Collapse Supernovae: Derivation and Population Census

Nicolás Viaux, Lucas Johns

In core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), deleptonization normally favors over emission. However, lepton-number emission self-sustained asymmetry (LESA) can make the ene…

Testing common approximations of neutrino fast flavor conversion

Erick Urquilla, Lucas Johns

A new chapter is opening in the theory of core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers as simulations of these events begin to incorporate fast flavor conversion (FFC) and oth…

Qubit thermodynamics: Entropy production from nonadiabatic driving

Pavel Zhelnin, Lucas Johns, Carlos A. Argüelles

Adiabaticity is a cornerstone of many promising approaches to quantum control, computing, and simulation. In practice, however, there is always a trade-off. Although the deleteriou…

Neutrino Oscillations in Core-Collapse Supernovae and Neutron Star Mergers

Lucas Johns, Sherwood Richers, Meng-Ru Wu

Accurate neutrino transport is crucial for reliably modeling explosive astrophysical events like core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and neutron star mergers (NSMs). However, in these…

Implications of conservation laws and ergodicity for neutrino flavor instability

Lucas Johns

Collective neutrino flavor instabilities are believed to be prevalent in core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers. This work establishes two points related to instability,…

Subgrid modeling of neutrino oscillations in astrophysics

Lucas Johns

Approximating neutrino oscillations as subgrid physics is an appealing prospect for simulators of core-collapse supernovae and neutron-star mergers. Because flavor instabilities qu…
