Coherent States for Fractional Powers of the Harmonic Oscillator Hamiltonian

open access: yesUniverse, 2021
Inspired by special and general relativistic systems that can have Hamiltonians involving square roots or more general fractional powers, in this article, we address the question of how a suitable set of coherent states for such systems can be obtained ...

Presentism and Quantum Gravity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
There is a philosophical tradition of arguing against presentism, the thesis that only presently existing things exist, on the basis of its incompatibility with fundamental physics.

Metasurface‐Enabled Helical Wavefront Fingerprint Metrology for Quantitative Retrieval of Liquid Optical Constants

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A metasurface‐enabled helical wavefront fingerprint (MHWF) paradigm is proposed for quantitative and specific retrieval of a liquid medium's refractive index and extinction coefficient. The liquid's complex dielectric response governs the wavefront evolution of the metasurface‐generated focused vortex beam, forming a distinctive three‐dimensional ...

Magnetic Water Cleaning of Estrogens via Tight yet Dynamic Binding to Nanoparticles

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Micropollution is one of the big challenges humanity faces with estrogen hormones being emerging pollutants of concern. Here, a supramolecular design strategy is presented that generates a simple nano‐adsorbent material to magnetically remove low‐concentrated estrogens from water.

Decoding Viral Transmission Dynamics in Structured Populations Using a Microfluidic Herd‐Immunity‐on‐a‐Chip Platform

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
A microfluidic Herd‐Immunity‐on‐a‐Chip experimentally recreates structured contact networks to quantify viral transmission dynamics. By controlling susceptible, infected, and non‐susceptible populations, the platform reveals how contact topology governs the reproduction number, outbreak propagation, herd‐immunity–like behavior, and intervention ...

Toward the Unification of Physics and Number Theory [PDF]

open access: yesReports in Advances of Physical Sciences, 2019
This paper introduces the notion of simplex-integers and shows how, in contrast to digital numbers, they are the most powerful numerical symbols that implicitly express the information of an integer and its set theoretic substructure.

Quantum Gravity: A Primer for Philosophers. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
‘Quantum Gravity’ does not denote any existing theory: the field of quantum gravity is very much a ‘work in progress’. As you will see in this chapter, there are multiple lines of attack each with the same core goal: to find a theory that unifies, in ...

Water‐Soluble POSS Promotes Concurrent Coalescence and Crosslinking for Multiscale‐Reinforced, Coalescent‐Free Waterborne Coatings

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Water‐soluble amine‐functionalized polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane promotes concurrent latex coalescence and crosslinking, allowing epoxy‐functional particles to form continuous films without added volatile coalescing agents. The resulting multiscale‐reinforced waterborne coatings combine high strength, toughness, optical transparency, scratch ...

The Code-Theoretic Axiom: The Third Ontology [PDF]

open access: yesReports in Advances of Physical Sciences, 2019
A logical physical ontology is code theory, wherein reality is neither deterministic nor random. In light of Conway and Kochen’s free will theorem [The free will theorem, Found. Phys. 36(10) (2006) 1441–1473] and strong free will theorem [The strong free

The Search for the Universality Class of Metric Quantum Gravity

open access: yes, 2021
On the basis of a limited number of reasonable axioms, we discuss the classification of all the possible universality classes of diffeomorphisms invariant metric theories of quantum gravity.
