We describe an explicit statistical model of local hidden variables that reproduces the predictions of quantum mechanics for the ideal Franson experiment and sheds light on the physical mechanisms that might be involved in the actual experiment. The...
Many open quantum systems encountered in both natural and synthetic situations are embedded in classical-like baths. Often, the bath degrees of freedom may be represented in terms of canonically conjugate coordinates, but in some cases they may requi...
Periodically driven (Floquet) systems are described by time-dependent Hamiltonians that possess discrete time translation symmetry. The spontaneous breaking of this symmetry leads to the emergence of a novel non-equilibrium phase of matter—the Discre...
The symmetries that govern the laws of nature can be spontaneously broken, enabling the occurrence of ordered states. Crystals arise from the breaking of translation symmetry, magnets from broken spin rotation symmetry and massive particles break a p...
The engineering of new states of matter through Floquet driving has revolutionized the field of condensed matter physics. This technique enables the creation of hybrid topological states and ordered phases that are absent in normal systems. Crystalli...
We show experimentally and theoretically that the translation dynamics of acoustic bubbles in an acoustic standing wave field exhibit all the attributes of a discrete time crystal, the dynamics of which is described by Mathieu’s equation. Indiv...
In this work, we analyze a scalar field model which gives rise to stable bound states in field space characterized by nonzero motion that breaks the underlying time translation symmetry of its Hamiltonian, known as time crystals. We demonstrate that...
The general framework for quantitative technical analysis of market prices is revisited and extended. The concept of a global time-translation invariance and its spontaneous violation and restoration is introduced and discussed. We find that differen...
This paper introduces a novel and efficient approach for Gaussian Splatting in dynamic scenes that leverages symmetry principles for enhanced computational efficiency and visual fidelity. First, we diverge from conventional methods that process stati...
The existence of a minimum measurable length scale was suggested by various theories of quantum gravity, string theory and black hole physics. Motivated by this, we examine a quantum theory exhibiting a minimum measurable time scale. We use the Page&...
Lead-containing relaxor ferroelectrics show enormous piezoelectric capabilities relating to their heterogeneous structures. Time-resolved nanobeam X-ray diffraction reveals the time and position dependences of the local lattice strain on a relaxor fe...
Certain aspects of the history, derivation, and physical application of the information-theoretic entropy concept are discussed. Pre-dating Shannon, the concept is traced back to Pauli. A derivation from first principles is given, without use of appr...
Cardiac arrhythmias are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and accurate classification of electrocardiogram (ECG) beats is critical for early diagnosis and follow-up. Supervised deep learning is effective but requires abun...
