Alignment of ND3 molecules in dc-electric fields

Andreas Osterwalder, Junwen Zou, Viet Le Duc

The control of movement and orientation of gas-phase molecules has become the focus of many research areas in molecular physics. Here, ND3 molecules are polarized in a segmented, curved electrostatic guide and adiabatically aligned inside a rotatable mass ...

Bootstrapping amplitudes of scalar particles

Jan Krzysztof Marucha

Quantum Field Theories are a central object of interest of modern physics, describing fundamental interactions of matter. However, current methods give limited insight into strongly coupling theories. S-matrix bootstrap program, described in this thesis, a ...

Dual-shot approach for polarization retrieval through a scattering medium

Abhijit Roy

A dual-shot technique based on the field basis addition of two statistically independent speckle patterns is developed to recover an input polarization through a scattering layer. It is proposed theoretically, and demonstrated both numerically and experime ...

Exact quantum conformal symmetry, its spontaneous breakdown, and gravitational Weyl anomaly

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Anna Tokareva

The classical Lagrangian of the Standard Model enjoys the symmetry of the full conformal group if the mass of the Higgs boson is put to zero. This is a hint that conformal symmetry may play a fundamental role in the ultimate theory describing nature. The o ...

CosmoLattice: A modern code for lattice simulations of scalar and gauge field dynamics in an expanding universe

Adrien Florio, Wessel Valkenburg, Daniel Garcia Figueroa, Francisco Torrenti

This paper describes CosmoGattice, a modern package for lattice simulations of the dynamics of interacting scalar and gauge fields in an expanding universe. CosmoGattice incorporates a series of features that makes it very versatile and powerful: i) it is ...

Diagnosing weakly first-order phase transitions by coupling to order parameters

Jonathan D'Emidio

The hunt for exotic quantum phase transitions described by emergent fractionalized de-grees of freedom coupled to gauge fields requires a precise determination of the fixed point structure from the field theoretical side, and an extreme sensitivity to weak ...

Anomaly-free scale symmetry and gravity

Mikhail Chapochnikov, Anna Tokareva

In this Letter, we address the question of whether the conformal invariance can be considered as a global symmetry of a theory of fundamental interactions. To describe Nature, this theory must contain a mechanism of spontaneous breaking of the scale symmet ...

Universality of loop corrected soft theorems in 4d

Biswajit Sahoo

In [1], logarithmic correction to subleading soft photon and soft graviton theorems have been derived in four spacetime dimensions from the ratio of IR-finite S-matrices. This has been achieved after factoring out IR-divergent components from the tradition ...

Hilbert series, the Higgs mechanism, and HEFT

Brian Quinn Henning

We expand Hilbert series technologies in effective field theory for the inclusion of massive particles, enabling, among other things, the enumeration of operator bases for non-linearly realized gauge theories. We find that the Higgs mechanism is manifest a ...

Multipolar Pseudochirality-Induced Optical Torque

Olivier Martin, Karim Achouri, Mintae Chung, Andrei Kiselev

It has been observed that achiral nanoparticles, such as flat helices, may be subjected to an optical torque even when illuminated by normally incident linearly polarized light. However, the origin of this fascinating phenomenon has so far remained mostly ...

Circularly polarized planar antenna with axially symmetric beamwidth reconfigurability

Anja Skrivervik, Ismael Vico Triviño, Hannes Bartle

This contribution presents the design of a compact circularly polarized antenna featuring beamwidth reconfiguration in both the horizontal and vertical planes. The observed radiation patterns in each of the reconfigurable states present axial symmetry and ...

Bootstrapping traceless symmetric O(N) scalars

Alessandro Vichi, Maria Refinetti, Marten Jan Reehorst

We use numerical bootstrap techniques to study correlation functions of traceless sym-metric tensors of O(N) with two indices ti j. We obtain upper bounds on operator dimen-sions for all the relevant representations and several values of N. We discover sev ...

Layered metals as polarized transparent conductors

Philip Johannes Walter Moll, Matthias Carsten Putzke, Chunyu Guo, Maja Deborah Bachmann

The quest to improve transparent conductors balances two key goals: increasing electrical conductivity and increasing optical transparency. To improve both simultaneously is hindered by the physical limitation that good metals with high electrical conducti ...

Anomalies from the covariant derivative expansion

Timothy Cohen

We revisit the calculation of chiral anomalies for global and gauge symmetries in the framework of the covariant derivative expansion (CDE). Due to the presence of UV divergences, the result is an ambiguous quantity that depends on the regularization proce ...

On A Special Symmetry In The Dynamics Of Complex Systems In A Holographic-Type Perspective

By operating with the Scale Relativity Theory in the dynamics of complex systems, we can achieve a description of these complex systems through a holographic-type perspective. Then, gauge invariances of a Riccati-type become functional in complex system dy ...
