Doppler-Resilient Rydberg Atomic Receiver for High-Dynamic Communication Networks via Adaptive Local Oscillator Tracking

Rydberg atomic receiver has emerged as promising candidate for next-generation wireless communication, due to the exceptional sensitivity and ability to overcome the physical limitations of traditional radio frequency antennas. Utilizing the resonant response of atomic energy levels for signal detection, Rydberg atomic receiver is inherently confined to a narrow instantaneous bandwidth. However, in high-mobility scenarios such as satellite communications, the severe Doppler effect induces carrier frequency offsets, which drive the signal beyond the instantaneous bandwidth and result in severe distortion. In this paper, we propose an adaptive local oscillator (LO) tracking Rydberg atomic receiver architecture designed to lock high-dynamic signals within the effective atomic response bandwidth. By employing a cross-product automatic frequency control (CPAFC) algorithm, the system dynamically estimates the instantaneous frequency offset, generates a corresponding error control signal, and adjusts the LO frequency through a feedback loop. Consequently, the intermediate frequency signal can always be locked close to the center of the atomic response bandwidth regardless of dynamics. Simulation results show that the proposed architecture significantly outperforms existing Rydberg atomic receiver, effectively alleviating performance degradation in high-dynamic environments.

Precise scaling relations for self-interacting bosonic dark matter stars

The structural properties of bosonic dark matter stars are systematically investigated, presenting precise scaling relations for the mass, radius, central density, and the properties of dark matter particles. The dark matter equation of state is derived from a complex scalar field theory with a quartic self-interaction potential $V(\phi) = \frac{\lambda}{4} |\phi|^4$, considering boson masses $m_{\phi}$ ranging from $10^{-9}$ to $10^{3}$ GeV and self-coupling constants $\lambda$ ranging from $0.01\pi$ to $100\pi$. The scaling relation for the maximum mass of bosonic dark matter stars, the corresponding critical radius and critical central density are obtained as \[ M_{\text{max}} = 0.1 \frac{\sqrt{\lambda}}{m_\phi^2} M_\odot, \qquad R(M_{\text{max}}) = 0.9 \frac{\sqrt{\lambda}}{m_\phi^2} \ \text{km}, \qquad \varepsilon_{\text{max}} = 2.1 \times 10^5 \frac{m_\phi^4}{\lambda} \ \mathrm{MeV/fm^3}, \] where $m_\phi$ is in GeV, the relations for $R(M_{\text{max}})$ and $\varepsilon_{\text{max}}$ are first put forward. The fitting relative error is less than $4\%$. Based on these scaling relations, we further provide global analytical fits for the stable branch. The relationships between mass and central density as well as radius and central density can be described by a unified function of the form: \[ \tilde{Y} = \frac{A}{\left[1 + \left(5\tilde{\varepsilon}\right)^h\right]^s}, \] where for $Y=M$, $\tilde{M} \equiv M/M_{\text{max}}$, $A=1$, $h=-2$, $s=0.42$; for $Y=R$, $\tilde{R} \equiv R/R(M_{\text{max}})$, $A=1.634$, $h=1$, $s=0.28$; and $\tilde{\varepsilon} \equiv \varepsilon_0/\varepsilon_{\text{max}}$. The fitting relative error is less than $0.1\%$. Furthermore, we find a simple quadratic polynomial mass-radius relation for bosonic dark matter stars.

$\Delta l =1$ coupling of single-particle orbitals in octupole deformed nuclei

Conventionally, octupole deformation in nuclei has been attributed to strong $\Delta l=3$ couplings between opposite-parity single-particle orbitals. In this work, we demonstrate that the often-overlooked $\Delta l=1$ mode also plays an important role. Taking orbitals near the octupole magic number $N = 134$ as a benchmark, we systematically evaluate the $\Delta l = 1$ and $\Delta l = 3$ mixing ratios of the wave functions within the Nilsson model, interpreting the trends through matrix elements of the deformed potential. We introduce component-resolved single-particle octupole energy contributions, based on the Hellmann--Feynman relation, to quantify the contributions of each $(\Delta l,\Delta j)$ coupling. Furthermore, the impact of $\Delta l = 1$ coupling on the rotational structure is demonstrated via particle-rotor model calculations for $^{221}$Ra and $^{223}$Th. Our work suggests that $\Delta l=1$ and $\Delta l=3$ octupole couplings act synergistically in driving reflection asymmetry, necessitating a revised paradigm for understanding octupole correlation.

Possible Supermassive Dark Object Composed of Light Fermionic Gas with an Embedded Neutron Star Core

The structure of dark matter admixed neutron stars (DANSs) are investigated, adopting a non-annihilating self-interacting fermionic dark matter (DM) model, with a particular focus on the case of the light DM particle mass $m_D \in [10^{-10}, 1]$ GeV. The DANSs become DM-dominated configurations when $m_D <10^{-1}$ GeV, where a compact neutron star core becomes embedded within an extremely large DM halo. It is found that the maximum mass of DANSs is inversely proportional to $m_{ D}$, approximately as $ 0.627 (\mathrm{GeV/} m_{\rm D})^2 ~\mathrm{M_{\odot}}$, which implies that extremely large masses can be achieved for small $m_{\rm D}$. For $m_D \sim5\times10^{-4}$ GeV, the calculated mass and size of the DM halo can be comparable to those of supermassive black holes such as Sgr A*. Our findings hint at a scenario where neutron stars might serve as strong gravitational seeds for such supermassive dark objects.

Tempus Core: Area-Power Efficient Temporal-Unary Convolution Core for Low-Precision Edge DLAs

The increasing complexity of deep neural networks (DNNs) poses significant challenges for edge inference deployment due to resource and power constraints of edge devices. Recent works on unary-based matrix multiplication hardware aim to leverage data sparsity and low-precision values to enhance hardware efficiency. However, the adoption and integration of such unary hardware into commercial deep learning accelerators (DLA) remain limited due to processing element (PE) array dataflow differences. This work presents Tempus Core, a convolution core with highly scalable unary-based PE array comprising of tub (temporal-unary-binary) multipliers that seamlessly integrates with the NVDLA (NVIDIA's open-source DLA for accelerating CNNs) while maintaining dataflow compliance and boosting hardware efficiency. Analysis across various datapath granularities shows that for INT8 precision in 45nm CMOS, Tempus Core's PE cell unit (PCU) yields 59.3% and 15.3% reductions in area and power consumption, respectively, over NVDLA's CMAC unit. Considering a 16x16 PE array in Tempus Core, area and power improves by 75% and 62%, respectively, while delivering 5x and 4x iso-area throughput improvements for INT8 and INT4 precisions. Post-place and route analysis of Tempus Core's PCU shows that the 16x4 PE array for INT4 precision in 45nm CMOS requires only 0.017 mm^2 die area and consumes only 6.2mW of total power. We demonstrate that area-power efficient unary-based hardware can be seamlessly integrated into conventional DLAs, paving the path for efficient unary hardware for edge AI inference.

Influence of moments of inertia on transverse wobbling mode in odd-mass nuclei

The reported transverse wobbling band in odd-mass $^{105}$Pd has been reinvestigated by the triaxial particle rotor model. Employing different parameter sets of moment of inertia (MOI), several calculated results could be in good agreement with the experimental data, which show distinct modes of rotational excitation, respectively. These modes are sensitive to the ratio between the MOI at intermediate and short axis. With the increase of this ratio, a wobble about the short axis of the total angular momentum is gradually changed to a wobble about the intermediate axis. In addition, it is exhibited that precession and tunneling are two aspects of the quantum wobbling motion. The tunneling aspect dominates in the yrare states of $^{105}$Pd. The present results in $^{105}$Pd show the complexity of the transverse wobbling mode.

Three-Party Integer Comparison and Applications

Secure integer comparison has been a popular research topic in cryptography, both for its simplicity to describe and for its applications. The aim is to enable two parties to compare their inputs without revealing the exact value of those inputs. In this paper, we highlight three-party integer comparison (TPIC), where a \emph{judge}, with no private input, wants to know the comparison result, while two \emph{competitors} hold secret integers to do privacy-preserving comparison. The judge actively obtains the result rather than passively waiting for it sent by a competitor. We give two TPIC constructions considering \emph{Mixed adversaries}, who have with different capabilities. One is secure against a semi-honest adversary with low computation and communication cost, while the other is secure against a malicious adversary. Basing on TPIC, we present multi-party comparisons through concrete applications, including a joint bidding scheme and a practical auction. Brief security proofs and analysis for the applications are presented. In comparison, our auction scheme is more efficient with lower cost, making it feasible in practice rather than a theoretical design. All the comparisons and application schemes run on top of blockchain requiring a constant number of rounds.

Influence of triaxial deformation on wobbling motion in even-even nuclei

The influence of triaxial deformation $γ$ on the purely collective form of wobbling motion in even-even nuclei are discussed based on the triaxial rotor model. It is found that the harmonic approximation is realized well when $γ=30^{\circ}$ for the properties of energy spectra and electric quadrupole transition probabilities, while this approximation gets bad when $γ$ deviates from $30^{\circ}$. A recent data from Coulomb excitation experiment, namely $3_1^+$ and $2_2^+$ for the $^{110}$Ru are studied and might be suggested as the bandhead of the wobbling bands. In addition, two types of angular momentum geometries for wobbling motion, stemming from different $γ$ values, are exhibited by azimuthal plots.

The key factor to determine the relation between radius and tidal deformability of neutron stars: slope of symmetry energy

The constraints on tidal deformability $Λ$ of neutron stars are first extracted from GW170817 by LIGO and Virgo Collaborations but the relation between radius $R$ and tidal deformability $Λ$ is still nuder debate. Using an isospin-dependent parameterized equation of state (EOS), we study the relation between $R$ and $Λ$ of neutron stars and its dependence on parameters of symmetry energy $E_{\rm sym}$ and EOS of symmetric nuclear matter $E_0$ when the mass is fixed as $1.4$ $M_\odot$, $1.0$ $M_\odot$, and $1.8$ $M_\odot$, respectively. We find that, though the changes of high order parameters of $E_{\rm sym}$ and $E_0$ can shift the individual values of $R_{1.4}$ and $Λ_{1.4}$ to different values, the $R_{1.4}\simΛ_{1.4}$ relation approximately locates at the same fitted curve. The slope of symmetry energy $L$ plays the dominated role in determining the $R_{1.4}\simΛ_{1.4}$ relation. By checking the mass dependence of $R\simΛ$ relation, the well fitted $R\simΛ$ relation for 1.4 $M_\odot$ is broken for massive neutron stars.

Internal X-ray plateau in short GRBs: Signature of supramassive fast-rotating quark stars?

A supramassive, strongly-magnetized millisecond neutron star (NS) has been proposed to be the candidate central engine of at least some short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs), based on the "internal plateau" commonly observed in the early X-ray afterglow. While a previous analysis shows a qualitative consistency between this suggestion and the Swift SGRB data, the distribution of observed break time $t_b$ is much narrower than the distribution of the collapse time of supramassive NSs for the several NS equations-of-state (EoSs) investigated. In this paper, we study four recently-constructed "unified" NS EoSs, as well as three developed strange quark star (QS) EoSs within the new confinement density-dependent mass model. All the EoSs chosen here satisfy the recent observational constraints of the two massive pulsars whose masses are precisely measured. We construct sequences of rigidly rotating NS/QS configurations with increasing spinning frequency $f$, from non-rotating ($f = 0$) to the Keplerian frequency ($f = f_{\rm K}$), and provide convenient analytical parametrizations of the results. Assuming that the cosmological NS-NS merger systems have the same mass distribution as the Galactic NS-NS systems, we demonstrate that all except the BCPM NS EoS can reproduce the current $22\%$ supramassive NS/QS fraction constraint as derived from the SGRB data. We simultaneously simulate the observed quantities (the break time $t_b$, the break time luminosity $L_b$ and the total energy in the electromagnetic channel $E_{\rm total}$) of SGRBs, and find that while equally well reproducing other observational constraints, QS EoSs predict a much narrower $t_b$ distribution than that of the NS EoSs, better matching the data. We therefore suggest that the post-merger product of NS-NS mergers might be fast-rotating supramassive QSs rather than NSs.

Electromagnetic transitions in multiple chiral doublet bands

Multiple chiral doublet bands (M$χ$D) in the $80$, 130 and $190$ mass regions are studied by the model of $γ$=90$^{\circ}$ triaxial rotor coupled with identical symmetric proton-neutron configurations. By selecting the suitable basis, the calculated wave functions are explicitly exhibited to be symmetric under the operator $\hat{A}$, which is defined as rotation by $90^{\circ}$ about 3-axis with the exchange of valance proton and neutron. We found that both $M1$ and $E2$ transitions are allowed between the levels with different values of $A$, while are forbidden between the levels with same values of $A$. Such a selection rule holds true for M$χ$D in different mass regions.

Vorticity and magnetic field production in relativistic ideal fluids

In the framework of relativistic ideal hydrodynamics, we study the production mechanism for vorticity and magnetic field in relativistic ideal fluids. It is demonstrated that in the uncharged fluids the thermal vorticity will always satisfy the Kelvin's theorem and the circulation must be conserved. However, in the charged fluids, the vorticity and magnetic field can be produced by the interaction between the entropy gradients and the fluid velocity gradients. Especially, in the multiple charged fluids, the vorticity and magnetic field can be produced by the interaction between the inhomogenous charge density ratio and the fluid velocity gradients even if the entropy distribution is homogeneous, which provides another mechanism for the production of vorticity and magnetic field in relativistic plasmas or in the early universe.
