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…
Wild behaviour near the finish line: the Type Ibn SN 2020able and its stratified environment
L. Tartaglia, E. Cappellaro, G. Valerin +29
We present spectrophotometric observations of the Type Ibn supernova SN~2020able, along with a comprehensive analysis and modelling of its evolution. The transient occurred in SDSS…
AT 2022csn: A Photometrically Peculiar Optical/UV Tidal Disruption Event in a Type II AGN
Yael Dgany, Iair Arcavi, Grisha Zeltyn +18
The emission mechanism and host galaxy preference of optical/UV tidal disruption events (TDEs) are still not entirely understood. We present observations of the TDE AT 2022csn, whi…
No Surviving Companion to the Galactic SN 1181: Evidence for a Double-Degenerate Channel for Type Iax Supernovae
Kohki Uno, Daichi Tsuna, Daichi Hiramatsu +2
Type Iax supernovae (SNe Iax) are the recently-established, yet peculiar subclass of thermonuclear supernovae, whose progenitor systems and explosion mechanisms remain debated. A l…
Superlinear Type II Superluminous Supernovae 2017fck and 2019cmv: A Possible Origin from Interacting Thermonuclear Supernovae
Daichi Hiramatsu, Takashi J. Moriya, D. Andrew Howell +9
Additional power sources to traditional supernovae (SNe) are necessary to account for the extreme luminosities of superluminous SNe (SLSNe). A main power source for hydrogen-rich S…
SN 2020bij and a Possible Slow-Rise High-Velocity Subclass of Type IIP Supernovae
Sondos Mohsen-Tanev, Iair Arcavi, Shahar Bracha +17
Mapping how the explosion properties of Type II supernovae (SNe II) relate to the properties of their progenitors can provide strong constraints for understanding the final evoluti…
