Non-Trivial Topological Majorana Architectures: Mobius and Trefoil Band Topologies evaluated by Signal to Noise Ratio and Coherence time mesuarements

Topological quantum computing is expected to be less sensitive to noise because information is stored in global states rather than local features. To examine whether different device topologies show measurable differences, we study three geometries with distinct topological invariants: a Mobius strip, a loop, and a trefoil knot, which have been proposed in electronic-structure settings. From quantum capacitance measurements, we extract power versus frequency spectra and fit Lorentzian line shapes to obtain the linewidth, amplitude, signal-to-noise ratio, and coherence time. The signal-to-noise ratio quantifies the ratio of the parity measurement signal to background noise and serves as an indicator of readout quality, while the coherence time characterizes the timescale for decoherence of the quantum state. Across all three topologies, coherence times are similar, with no clear dependence on geometry. In contrast, the signal-to-noise ratio differs in the regime E0 = 10 micro-eV and Z = -1, following the ordering Trefoil, Mobius, and Loop. These results provide a reference point for future experiments aimed at separating genuine topological effects from device-level parameters.

Multi-axion like description of the dark sector in light of the Hubble and $σ_8$ tensions

Local methods of direct determination of the Hubble constant and $σ_8$ seem to conflict with the predictions made from the cosmic microwave background and $Λ$CDM. We propose a proof-of-concept model that models portions of the dark sector as several coupled axion-like fields, resulting in both early and late time departures from $Λ$CDM. We determine that the model successfully eliminates both the Hubble and $σ_8$ tensions, while remaining consistent with both the DESI survey and the BAO sound horizon.

Interacting dark energy axions in light of the Hubble tension

A current problem within the ΛCDM framework is the tension between late and early time measurements of the Hubble parameter today, H0. We entertain the possibility that dark energy modeled as multiple interacting axion-like-particle species can alleviate the current Hubble tension. We then test these parameters against the milder tension between the CMB and large scale structure (LSS) observations of σ8 to ensure that these models do not exacerbate the tension. We find that there exist parameter spaces for models of two and three axion-like-particles which can potentially alleviate the Hubble tension as well as the σ8 tension.
