- "summary": "In the post-Newtonian era, the Eddington-inspired Born-Infeld (EiBI) theory, considered as an improved modification of the Einsteinian general relativity formalism in the weak field regime (non-relativistic), has enabled us to study the dynamics of dense astroobjects in light of the modified gravitational effects. This EiBI theory imparts a new shape to the usual gravitational Poisson equation through the addition of a cosmological correction factor, termed as the EiBI gravity parameter. A systematic inclusion of this gravity in the basic structure equation could lead to a realistic picture of the existing solar models free from any end-stage singularity. A theoretic model is accordingly proposed to investigate the effect of the EiBI gravity on the Gravito-Electrostatic Sheath (GES) formalism of the equilibrium solar plasma structure. This study shows that the GES-based solar plasma dynamics is noticeably modified against the previously reported Newtonian GES-model studies. An equilibrium bounded solution for the solar self-gravity shows the EiBI-modified solar surface boundary (SSB) to exist at a new helio-centric radial location $\\xi = 4$ (on the Jeansean scale). It is found that the EiBI gravity shifts the present SSB outwards by 14.28% relative to the original Newtonian SSB. The EiBI-modified gravity effects on diverse relevant solar parameters, such as the gravito-electrostatic potentials, fields, and Mach numbers, are illustratively analyzed. It is anticipated that our analyses could be applied further to see the solar plasma equilibrium and fluctuation dynamics in realistically modified post-Newtonian gravity environments on both the bounded (interior) and unbounded (exterior) solar plasma scales.",

Probing quantum entanglement and testing Bell inequality with muons can be a significant leap forward, as muon is arguably the only massive elementary particle that can be manipulated and detected over a wide range of energies, e.g., from approximately 0.3 to $10^2$ GeV, corresponding to velocities from 0.94 to nearly the speed of light. In this work, we present a realistic proposal and a comprehensive study of quantum entanglement in a state composed of different-flavor fermions in muon-electron scattering. The polarization density matrix for the muon-electron system is derived using a kinematic approach within the relativistic quantum field theory framework. Entanglement in the resulting muon-electron qubit system and the violation of Bell inequalities can be observed with a high event rate. This paves the way for performing quantum tomography with muons.",

- "summary": "A rigorous treatment of light-matter interactions typically requires an interacting quantum field theory. However, most applications of interest are handled using classical or semiclassical models, which are valid only when quantum-field fluctuations can be neglected. This approximation breaks down in scenarios involving large light intensities or degenerate matter, where additional quantum effects become significant. In this work, we address these limitations by developing a quantum kinetic framework that treats both light and matter fields on equal footing, naturally incorporating both linear and nonlinear interactions. To accurately account for light fluctuations, we introduce a photon distribution function that, together with the classical electromagnetic fields, provides a better description of the photon fluid. From this formalism, we derive kinetic equations from first principles that recover classical electrodynamical results while revealing couplings that are absent in the corresponding classical theory. Furthermore, by addressing the Coulomb interaction in the Hartree-Fock approximation, we include the role of fermionic exchange exactly in both kinetic and fluid regimes through a generalized Fock potential. The latter provides corrections not only to the electrostatic forces but also to the plasma velocity fields, which become significant in degenerate conditions.",

- "summary": "It is a hot topic nowadays that magnetic reconnection, as a physical process to release magnetic energy effectively, occurs in numerous complicated astrophysical systems. Since the magnetic reconnection is thought to occur frequently in the accretion flow around compact objects which induce strong gravitational field, it is now regarded to be a practical mechanism to extract energy from rotation black holes, which motivates people to consider how to describe the process of magnetic reconnection in a generally relativistic way. In this work, I try to explore the description of Sweet-Parker model, one of the most famous theoretical models of magnetic reconnection, in general relativity. I begin with revisiting the Sweet-Parker model in special relativity and reorganize the calculations in seven steps, whose generally relativistic forms are discussed. I propose in this work, from the general discussions and consequences of specific examples, that no property in Sweet-Parker model would be modified by spacetime curvature, which is opposite to the conclusions in previous work. However, on the contrary, observation in different rest frames may bring modifications. If the magnetic reconnection occurs not in the rest frame of observer, the observer would find out that the detected relation between the reconnection rate and Lundquist number or that between outflow speed and Alfven velocity are not the same as the detected relations if the magnetic reconnection occurs just in the rest frame of observer.",

Our findings reveal two distinct pair creation channels: the symmetric and asymmetric transition channels. We propose that the asymmetric transition channel arises from the inherent spatial inhomogeneity of intense laser pulses. By mapping the field-theoretical model of laser-assisted multi-photon pair creation onto a quantum-mechanical time-dependent framework, a semi-analytical solution that captures the asymmetric transition signatures of vacuum decay is derived. Additionally, it is demonstrated that neglecting spatial inhomogeneity leads to erroneous transition amplitudes and incorrect identification of pair creation channels, even when the dipole approximation holds.",

The Larmor precession frequency for a time varying magnetic field, instead of conventionally followed static magnetic field is derived for the first time. With the dispersion relation in Ion Resonance depending on its frequency of gyration, an AC driven electromagnet based particle resonance has been proposed circumventing the use of Superconducting Permanent Magnets. Complete resonance achieved under the proposed conditions results in a sustained, fixed-frequency particle trajectory that is independent of its speed or drift. Such oscillation is visualized in a D-Shaped Resonant assembly. The amplitude and the wavelength calculations for the trajectory are demonstrated analytically. Principally noting the objectives of Synchrotron in varying the magnetic field and its frequency to generate high energy particles, the present theory addresses the same. Its applications can be explored in Space Propulsion Systems, Magnetic Confinement Fusion, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and sub-harmonic heating and cooling. Using this theory one can aptly generate RF Power using device specific designed resonant antennas coupling it with with Plasma.",

Although recent experimental studies have entered the quantum regime, rapid theoretical developments predict that qualitatively unique phenomena only emerge beyond a certain interaction strength. It is thus pertinent to identify the maximal electron-photon interaction strength and the materials, geometries, and particle energies that enable one to approach it. We derive an upper limit to the quantum vacuum interaction strength between free electrons and single-mode photons, which illuminates the conditions for the strongest interaction. Crucially, we obtain an explicit energy selection recipe for electrons and photons to achieve maximal interaction at arbitrary separations and identify two optimal regimes favoring either fast or slow electrons over those with intermediate velocities. We validate the limit by analytical and numerical calculations on canonical geometries and provide near-optimal designs indicating the feasibility of strong quantum interactions. Our findings offer fundamental intuition for maximizing the quantum interaction between free electrons and photons and provide practical design rules for future experiments on electron-photon and electron-mediated photon-photon entanglement. They should also enable the evaluation of key metrics for applications such as the maximum power of free-electron radiation sources and the maximum acceleration gradient of dielectric laser accelerators.",

Standard, weak and integral SINDy formulations are discussed and compared. The scheme is benchmarked in the case of breathing-mode oscillations in Hall effect thrusters, using PIC/fluid simulation data. Models of varying complexity are obtained for the average plasma properties, and shown to have a clear physical interpretability and agreement with existing 0D models in the literature. Lastly, the algorithm applied is also shown to enable the identification of physical subdomains with qualitatively different plasma dynamics, providing valuable information for more advanced modeling approaches.",

First, we discuss the exact solution of the electron transport problem using Monte Carlo (MC) simulations. In reality we will progress much further, showing the interpretative role that the diagrams used in quantum theory and quantum field theory can play in the development of MC. Then, we present two methods, the Monte Carlo Flux and the Propagator method, which have been developed at this moment. The first one is based on a modified MC method, while the second shows the advantage of explicitly applying the mathematical idea of propagator to the transport problem.",

This paper derives such a first-principles-based scaling theory and illustrates its application to a novel space propulsion concept, where the plasma focus sheath is employed as a power density amplifying mechanism to transport electric energy from a capacitive storage to a current-driven fusion load. For this purpose, a Generalized Plasma Focus problem is introduced and formulated. It concerns a finite, axisymmetric plasma, driven through a neutral gas at supersonic speed over distances much larger than its typical gradient scale length by its azimuthal magnetic field while remaining connected with its pulse power source through suitable boundaries. The Gratton-Vargas equation is rederived from the scaling properties of the equations governing plasma dynamics and solved for algebraically defined initial (insulator) and boundary (anode) surfaces. Scaling relations for a new space propulsion concept are derived. This consists of a modified plasma focus with a tapered anode that transports current from a pulsed power source to a consumable portion of the anode in the form of a hypodermic needle tube continuously extruded along the axis of the device. When the tube is filled with deuterium, the device may serve as a small-scale version of magnetized liner inertial fusion (MAGLIF) that could avoid failure of neutron yield scaling in a conventional plasma focus.",

- "summary": "Single atoms movable from one place to another would enable a flying quantum memory that can be used for quantum communication and quantum computing at the same time. Guided atoms, e.g., by optical tweezers, provide a partial solution, but the benefit of flying qubits could be lost if they still interact with the guiding means. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate freely-flying atoms that are not guided but are instead thrown and caught by optical tweezers. In experiments, cold atoms at 40 micro Kelvin temperature are thrown up to a free-flying speed of 0.65 m/s over a travel distance of 12.6 micrometer at a transportation efficiency of 94(3)%, even in the presence of other optical tweezers or atoms en route. This performance is not fundamentally limited but by current settings of optical tweezers with limited potential depth and width. We provide a set of proof-of-principle flying atom demonstrations, which include atom transport through optical tweezers, atom arrangements by flying atoms, and atom scattering off optical tweezers. Our study suggests possible applications of flying atoms, not only in fundamental studies such as single-atom low-energy collisions, but also non-photon quantum communication and flying-qubit-based quantum computing.",

Predicting the lifetime and performance of these thrusters hinges on a comprehensive characterization of the expansion dynamics of the ablated plasma plume. While state-of-the-art techniques for simulating plasmas are often particle-based, a grid-based direct kinetic solver confers advantages in such a transient and inhomogeneous problem by eliminating statistical noise. A direct kinetic solver including interparticle collisions is employed on a plume expansion model problem spanning one dimension each in configuration and velocity space. The high degree of thermodynamic nonequilibrium inherent in plume expansion is characterized, justifying the need for a kinetic rather than a hybrid or fluid solver. Thruster-relevant metrics such as the momentum flux are also computed. The plume dynamics are observed to be highly inhomogeneous in space with insufficient time for thermalization in the region preceding the expansion front, and the theoretical possibility of reducing the local grid resolution by up to two orders of magnitude at the far end of the domain is established. These grid-point requirements are verified via the employment of nonuniform grids of various expansion ratios, several of which also employ coarsening in velocity space. Longer domain lengths are explored to characterize thruster-scale phenomena and larger ambient pressures are simulated as a testbed to probe facility effects due to collisions with background particles.",

In X-ray optics, entangled photon pairs can be generated by X-ray parametric down conversion (XPDC), which has certain wavelength window. Meanwhile, free electron laser (FEL) has successfully lased at X-ray frequencies recently. However, FEL is usually seen as a classical light source, and its quantum effects are considered minor corrections to the classical theory. Here we investigate entangled X-ray photon pair emissions in FEL. We establish a theory for coherently amplified entangled photon pair emission from microbunched electron pulses in the undulator. We numerically demonstrate the properties of entangled emission, and provide a scheme to generate highly entangled X-ray photon pairs, which is of great importance in X-ray quantum optics. Our work shows a unique advantage of FELs over synchrotrons in entangled X-ray photon pair generation.",

This improved experimental capability has driven substantial progress in QED in intense background fields. We review here the advances made during the last decade, with a focus on theory and phenomenology. As ever higher intensities are reached, it becomes necessary to consider processes at higher orders in both the number of scattered particles and the number of loops, and to account for non-perturbative physics (e.g. the Schwinger effect), with extreme intensities requiring resummation of the loop expansion. In addition to increased intensity, experiments will reach higher accuracy, and these improvements are being matched by developments in theory such as in approximation frameworks, the description of finite-size effects, and the range of physical phenomena analysed. Topics on which there has been substantial progress include: radiation reaction, spin and polarisation, nonlinear quantum vacuum effects and connections to other fields including physics beyond the Standard Model.",

Still, the lowest intensity scale governing these effects lies orders of magnitude beyond foreseen capabilities, so that such endeavor is expected to remain extremely challenging. In recent years, however, plasma mirrors have emerged as a promising bridge across this gap, by enabling the conversion of intense infrared laser pulses into coherently focused Doppler harmonic beams lying in the X-UV range. In this work, we present quantitative predictions on the quantum vacuum signatures produced when such beams are focused to intensities between $10^{24}$ and $10^{28}\\ \\mathrm{W.cm}^{-2}$ . These signatures, which notably include photon-photon scattering and electron-positron pair creation, are obtained using state-of-the-art massively parallel numerical tools. In view of identifying experimentally favorable configurations, we also consider the coupling of the focused harmonic beam with an auxiliary optical beam, and provide comparison with other established schemes. Our results show that a single coherently focused harmonic beam can produce as much scattered photons as two infrared pulses in head-on collision, and confirm that the coupling of the harmonic beam to an auxiliary beam gives rise to significant levels of inelastic scattering, and hence holds the potential to strongly improve the attainable signal to noise ratios in experiments.",

The no-hair theorem is satisfied, in the sense that all components of the stress-energy tensor decay exponentially in time. We measure the decay time of magnetic flux on the event horizon for plasmoid-dominated reconnection in collisionless and collisional plasma.

Energetic thrust is generated in the form of plasmoids (confined plasma in closed magnetic loops) when magnetic helicity (linked magnetic field lines) is injected into an annular channel. Using a novel configuration of static electric and magnetic fields, the concept utilizes a current-sheet instability to spontaneously and continuously create plasmoids via magnetic reconnection. The generated low-temperature plasma is simulated in a global annular geometry using the extended magnetohydrodynamic model. Because the system-size plasmoid is an Alfvenic outflow from the reconnection site, its thrust is proportional to the square of the magnetic field strength and does not ideally depend on the mass of the ion species of the plasma. Exhaust velocities in the range of 20 to 500 km/s, controllable by the coil currents, are observed in the simulations.",

In the past few years, for an advanced nuclear energy system, a particular class of traveling wave reactor called the Constant Axial shape of Neutron flux, nuclide number densities and power shape During Life of Energy production (CANDLE) reactor has been proposed, and an analytical solution has been desired since it could reveal the global characters of the solution. In this study, from the perspective of the solitary wave, the analytical solution of this advanced nuclear energy system is demonstrated through coupling the one-group neutron diffusion equation with the burnup equation. The tanh-function method is applied to solve that nonlinear partial differential equation. The relationship between the velocity of the solitary wave, wave amplitude, or neutron flux and the evolution of the nuclide is revealed by the analytical method. The results demonstrate that the neutron flux is proportional to the wave velocity. The results also imply that the amplitude of the neutron flux is proportional to the square root of the diffusion coefficient but is inversely proportional to the initial 238U density.",

Critical issues such as lattice design, background electrical fields,geometrical phase, general relativity, spin coherence time and polarimeter systematics are presented. Overall, we find that with the currently proposed design iteration, systematic error sources are reduced by orders of magnitude and that the ring alignment requirements are within the currently available technology.",

- "summary": "In this work, a many body relativistic quantum field theory for the collective modes of spinor quantum electrodynamic theory (QED) plasmas is developed. We introduce the thermo field dynamics into the QED plasma study. The nontrivial background field method is used to take account of the non-perturbativity of background charged plasma particles and radiation field. It is an extension of \"Furry picture\" which is first introduced by Yuan Shi, et al. [Phys. Rev. A 94, 012124 (2016)] in their scalar QED plasma study. However, their wave function method in evaluating the background field of ideal system is hard to extend to the general many body cases. We propose a classical limit method that most perturbative high energy and quantum many body aspects can be included in a practical way. As an example, the wave propagation in unmagnetized electron-positron plasma is discussed. In the low energy limit case, the well known wave dispersion relations for non-relativistic degenerate plasma are recovered. In addition, mass increase of plasma particles due to the relativity, effective charge decrease due to the vacuum polarization, finite light velocity influence on the dispersion relation, and temperature influence on plasma system are discussed. Besides, new phenomenons including the zero sound of the electron-positron pair plasma and the particle production induced by the plasma oscillation are first reported. At last, the high energy limit case is studied.",

- "summary": "Specific energy (i.e. energy per unit mass) is one of the most fundamental and consequential properties of a fuel source. In this work, a systematic study of measured fusion cross-sections is performed to determine which reactions are potentially feasible and identify the fuel cycle that maximizes specific energy. This reveals that, by using normal hydrogen to breed deuterium via neutron capture, the conventional catalyzed D-D fusion fuel cycle can attain a specific energy greater than anything else. Simply surrounding a catalyzed D-D reactor with water enables deuterium fuel, the dominant stockpile of energy on Earth, to produce as much as 65% more energy. Lastly, the impact on space propulsion is considered, revealing that an effective exhaust velocity exceeding that of deuterium-helium-3 is theoretically possible.",

Unlike the modelling strategies underpinning particle-in-cell codes that include the effects of quantum electrodynamics, our new field theory incorporates multi-particle effects from the outset. Our approach is based on the path-integral quantisation of a classical bi-scalar field theory describing the behaviour of a laser pulse propagating through an underdense plasma. Results established in the context of quantum field theory on curved spacetime are used to derive a non-linear, non-local, effective field theory that describes the evolution of the laser-driven plasma due to quantum fluctuations. As the first application of our new theory, we explore the behaviour of perturbations to fields describing a uniform, monochromatic, laser beam propagating through a uniform plasma. Our results suggest that quantum fluctuations could play a significant role in the evolution of an underdense plasma driven by an x-ray laser pulse.",

Owing to their unique properties, pulsars are a unique astrophysical tool to test general relativity, inform on matter at extreme densities, and probe galactic magnetic fields. Understanding pulsars physics and emission mechanisms is critical to these applications. Here we uncover that mechanical-optical rotation in the pulsars' magnetosphere affects polarisation in a way which is indiscernible from Faraday rotation in the interstellar medium for typical GHz observations frequency, but which can be distinguished in the sub-GHz band. Besides being essential to correct for possible systematic errors in interstellar magnetic field estimates, our novel interpretation of pulsar polarimetry data offers a unique means to determine whether pulsars rotate clockwise or counterclockwise, providing new constraints on magnetospheric physics and possible emission mechanisms. Combined with the ongoing development of sub-GHz observation capabilities, our finding promises new discoveries, such as the spatial distributions of clockwise rotating or counterclockwise rotating pulsars, which could exhibit potentially interesting, but presently invisible, correlations or features.",
