On double-descent in uncertainty quantification in overparametrized models

Florent Gérard Krzakala, Lenka Zdeborová, Lucas Andry Clarte, Bruno Loureiro, Bruno Loureiro

Uncertainty quantification is a central challenge in reliable and trustworthy machine learning. Naive measures such as last-layer scores are well-known to yield overconfident estimates in the context of overparametrized neural networks. Several methods, ra ...

Maximum-energy records in glassy energy landscapes

Riccardo Ravasio, Marco Baity-Jesi

We study the evolution of the maximum energy E-max(t) reached between time 0 and time t in the dynamics of simple models with glassy energy landscapes, after an instant quench from infinite temperature to a target temperature T. Through a detailed descript ...

Effective conductivity of porous ceramics in a radiative environment

Sophia Haussener, Clemens Gregor Suter, Jérémy Raphaël Mora-Monteros

The knowledge of the effective thermal conductivity, taking into account conduction and radiation, is crucial for the accurate prediction of the thermal behavior of porous foams, especially in an environment where radiation is dominating. We present a comb ...

Thermodynamic properties of highly frustrated quantum spin ladders: Influence of many-particle bound states

Frédéric Mila, Bruce Normand

Quantum antiferromagnets have proven to be some of the cleanest realizations available for theoretical, numerical, and experimental studies of quantum fluctuation effects. At finite temperatures, however, the additional effects of thermal fluctuations in t ...

Centrifuge modelling of heating effects on energy pile performance in saturated sand

Lyesse Laloui, Chao Shi

The operation of energy pile in summer can expel excessive heat of the buildings into the ground by the use of a heat pump. Despite of having been implemented for decades, the design of energy pile still relies heavily on empiricism as there is still limit ...

Measuring nanomechanical motion with an imprecision below the standard quantum limit

Tobias Kippenberg, Emanuel Gavartin

We report a room-temperature measurement of nanomechanical motion with an imprecision below the standard quantum limit (SQL), using cavity-enhanced optical near fields. Fundamental thermodynamical cavity frequency fluctuation limits the total imprecision t ...

Assessment of irradiation embrittlement of the Eurofer97 steel after 590 MeV proton irradiation

Philippe Spätig, Pablo Federico Mueller

The irradiation hardening of the Eurofer97 steel following 590 MeV proton irradiations was determined at three different irradiation temperatures, 50 °C, 250 °C and 350 °C, and various doses up to about 1.3 displacement per atom. The dose and temperature d ...

Thermal dynamics at surfaces

Harald Brune

The present paper describes what happens at the surface of a crystal as its temperature steadily increases from zero Kelvin close to the bulk melting temperature. We treat thermal motion, such as the diffusion of individual adatoms establishing mass transp ...

Differential-thermal analysis around and below the critical temperature T-c of various low-T-c superconductors: A comparative study

Helmuth Berger

We present specific-heat data on the type-II superconductors V3Si, LuNi2B2C and NbSe2 which were acquired with a low-temperature thermal analysis (DTA) technique. We compare our data with available literature data on these superconductors. In the first par ...

Side-Information Scalable Source Coding

Exact results for thermodynamics of the hydrogen plasma: Low-temperature expansions beyond Saha theory

We study hydrogen in the Saha regime, within the physical picture in terms of a quantum proton-electron plasma. Long ago, Saha showed that, at sufficiently low densities and low temperatures, the system behaves almost as an ideal mixture made with hydrogen ...
