Learning multivariate new physics

We discuss a method that employs a multilayer perceptron to detect deviations from a reference model in large multivariate datasets. Our data analysis strategy does not rely on any prior assumption on the nature of the deviation. It is designed to be sensi ...

Clustering citation histories in the Physical Review

Giovanni Colavizza, Massimo Franceschet

We investigate publications through their citation histories – the history events are the citations given to the article by younger publications and the time of the event is the date of publication of the citing article. We propose a methodology, based on ...

Confocal polarization imaging in high-numerical-aperture space

Carlos Alberto Macias Romero

In this work we describe theoretical and experimental physical aspects of high-resolution imaging polarimetry and its application to polarization-multiplexed encoding. We theoretically demonstrate that it is possible to resolve the orientation of two fixed ...

Morphological Computation and Morphological Control: Steps Toward a Formal Theory and Applications

John Richard Walker

Morphological computation can be loosely defined as the exploitation of the shape, material properties, and physical dynamics of a physical system to improve the efficiency of a computation. Morphological control is the application of morphological computi ...

Experimental realization and characterization of unstretched planar one-dimensional diffusion flames

Peter Monkewitz, Etienne Robert

A burner configuration that allows the creation of nearly unstretched one-dimensional diffusion flames has recently been introduced. This paper presents the first detailed characterization of flames produced in such a burner to assess how well they approac ...

Transport properties of room-temperature ionic liquids from classical molecular dynamics

Nicola Marzari, Oliviero Andreussi

Room-temperature ionic liquids (RTILs) have attracted much attention in the scientific community in the past decade due their novel and highly customizable properties. Nonetheless, their high viscosities pose serious limitations to the use of RTILs in prac ...

On Zero-Dimensional Exciton-Polaritons

Roland Cerna

Microcavity exciton-polaritons are half-matter half-light quasiparticles with outstanding properties. This offers a great way to access and control fundamental excitations in a solid by simple optical means. Therefore, apart from their importance in fundam ...
