Late-forming black holes and the antiproton, gamma-ray, and anti-helium excesses
Black holes long-lived enough to be the dark matter have temperatures below the MeV. Since Hawking evaporation is a quasi-thermal process, no GeV emission is predicted to be produced by […]

Distinguishing charged lepton flavor violation scenarios with inelastic μ→e conversion
The Mu2e and COMET experiments are expected to improve existing limits on charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) by roughly four orders of magnitude. $\mu\rightarrow e$ conversion experiments are typically optimized […]

Exact block encoding of imaginary time evolution with universal quantum neural networks
We develop a constructive approach to generate quantum neural networks capable of representing the exact thermal states of all many-body qubit Hamiltonians. The Trotter expansion of the imaginary-time propagator is […]

Next-to-leading order scalar contributions to 𝜇 → 𝑒 conversion
Within a class of models in which lepton flavor violation is induced dominantly by scalar particle exchanges, we estimate the $\mu \to e$ conversion rate in several nuclei. We include […]

What does perturbative QCD really have to say about neutron stars
The implications of perturbative QCD (PQCD) calculations on neutron stars are carefully examined. While PQCD calculations above baryon chemical potential $\mu_B\sim2.4$ GeV demonstrate the potential of ruling out a wide […]
