Quantum speed limits (QSLs) rule the minimum time for a quantum state to evolve into a distinguishable state in an arbitrary physical process. These fundamental results constrain a notion of distance traveled by the quantum state, known as the Bures angle, in terms of the speed of evolution set by nonadiabatic energy fluctuations. I theoretically propose how to measure QSLs in an ultracold quantum gas confined in a time-dependent harmonic trap. In this highly-dimensional system of continuous variables, quantum tomography is prohibited. Yet, QSLs can be probed whenever the dynamics is self-similar by measuring as a function of time the cloud size of the ultracold gas. This makes it possible to determine the Bures angle and energy fluctuations, as I discuss for various ultracold atomic systems.We use coupled-cluster theory and nuclear interactions from chiral effective field theory to compute the nuclear matrix element for the neutrinoless double-β decay of ^48Ca. Benchmarks with the no-core shell model in several light nuclei inform us about the accuracy of our approach. this website For ^48Ca we find a relatively small matrix element. We also compute the nuclear matrix element for the two-neutrino double-β decay of ^48Ca with a quenching factor deduced from two-body currents in recent ab initio calculation of the Ikeda sum rule in ^48Ca [Gysbers et al., Nat. Phys. 15, 428 (2019)NPAHAX1745-247310.1038/s41567-019-0450-7].We construct a theory for the semiclassical dynamics of superconducting quasiparticles by following their wave packet motion and reveal rich contents of Berry curvature effects in the phase space spanned by position and momentum. These Berry curvatures are traced back to the characteristics of superconductivity, including the nontrivial momentum-space geometry of superconducting pairing, the real-space supercurrent, and the charge dipole of quasiparticles. The Berry-curvature effects strongly influence the spectroscopic and transport properties of superconductors, such as the local density of states and the thermal Hall conductivity. As a model illustration, we apply the theory to study the twisted bilayer graphene with a d_x^2+y^2+id_xy superconducting gap function and demonstrate Berry-curvature induced effects.We present an alternative formation scenario for the gravitational wave event GW190521 that can be explained as the merger of central black holes (BHs) from two ultradwarf galaxies of stellar mass ∼10^5-10^6 M_⊙, which had themselves previously undergone a merger. The GW190521 components' masses of 85_-14^+21 M_⊙ and 66_-18^+17 M_⊙ challenge standard stellar evolution models, as they fall in the so-called mass gap. We demonstrate that the merger history of ultradwarf galaxies at high redshifts (1≲z≲2) matches well the LIGO-Virgo inferred merger rate for BHs within the mass range of the GW190521 components, resulting in a likely time delay of ≲4 Gyr considering the redshift of this event. We further demonstrate that the predicted timescales are consistent with expectations for central BH mergers, although with large uncertainties due to the lack of high-resolution simulations in low-mass dwarf galaxies. Our findings show that this BH production and merging channel is viable and extremely interesting as a new way to explore galaxies' BH seeds and galaxy formation. We recommend this scenario be investigated in detail with simulations and observations.We present the first observation of instability in weakly magnetized, pressure dominated plasma Couette flow firmly in the Hall regime. Strong Hall currents couple to a low frequency electromagnetic mode that is driven by high-β (>1) pressure profiles. Spectroscopic measurements show heating (factor of 3) of the cold, unmagnetized ions via a resonant Landau damping process. A linear theory of this instability is derived that predicts positive growth rates at finite β and shows the stabilizing effect of very large β, in line with observations.We study hidden-sector particles at past (CERN-Hamburg-Amsterdam-Rome-Moscow Collaboration and NuCal), present (NA62, SeaQuest, and DarkQuest), and future (LongQuest) experiments at the high-energy intensity frontier. We focus on exploring the minimal vector portal and the next-to-minimal models in which the productions and decays are decoupled. These next-to-minimal models have mostly been devised to explain experimental anomalies while avoiding existing constraints. We demonstrate that proton fixed-target experiments provide one of the most powerful probes for the MeV to few GeV mass range of these models, using inelastic dark matter (iDM) as an example. We consider an iDM model with a small mass splitting that yields the observed dark matter relic abundance, and a scenario with a sizable mass splitting that can also explain the muon g-2 anomaly. We set strong limits based on the CERN-Hamburg-Amsterdam-Rome-Moscow Collaboration and NuCal experiments, which come close to excluding iDM as a full-abundance thermal dark matter candidate in the MeV to GeV mass range. We also make projections based on NA62, SeaQuest, and DarkQuest and update the constraints of the minimal dark photon parameter space. We find that NuCal sets the only existing constraint in ε∼10^-8-10^-4 regime, reaching ∼800 MeV in dark photon mass due to the resonant enhancement of proton bremsstrahlung production. These studies also motivate LongQuest, a three-stage retooling of the SeaQuest experiment with short (≲5 m), medium (∼5 m), and long (≳35 m) baseline tracking stations and detectors as a multipurpose machine to explore new physics.The energy spectrum of positronium atoms generated at a solid surface reflects the electron density of states (DOS) associated solely with the first surface layer. Using spin-polarized positrons, the spin-dependent surface DOS can be studied. For this purpose, we have developed a spin-polarized positronium time-of-flight spectroscopy apparatus based on a ^22Na positron source and an electrostatic beam transportation system, which enables the sampling of topmost surface electrons around the Γ point and near the Fermi level. We applied this technique to nonmagnetic Pt(111) and W(001), ferromagnetic Ni(111), Co(0001) and graphene on them, Co_2FeGa_0.5Ge_0.5 (CFGG) and Co_2MnSi (CMS). The results showed that the electrons of Ni(111) and Co(0001) surfaces have characteristic negative spin polarizations, while these spin polarizations vanished upon graphene deposition, suggesting that the spin polarizations of graphene on Ni(111) and Co(0001) were mainly induced at the Dirac points that were out of range in the present measurement.
