Ultracoherent superconducting cavity-based multiqudit platform with error-resilient control

Superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) cavities offer a promising platform for quantum computing due to their long coherence times, yet integrating nonlinear elements like transmons for control often introduces additional loss. We report a multimode quantum system based on a 2-cell elliptical-shaped SRF cavity, comprising two cavity modes weakly coupled to an ancillary transmon circuit, designed to preserve coherence while enabling efficient control of the cavity modes. We mitigate the detrimental effects of the transmon decoherence through careful design optimization that reduces transmon-cavity couplings and participation in the dielectric substrate and lossy interfaces, to achieve single-photon lifetimes of 20.6 ms and 15.6 ms for the two modes, and a pure dephasing time exceeding 40 ms. This marks an order-of-magnitude improvement over prior 3D multimode memories. Leveraging sideband interactions and novel error-resilient protocols, including measurement-based correction and post-selection, we achieve high-fidelity control over quantum states. This enables the preparation of Fock states up to N = 20 with fidelities exceeding 95%, the highest reported to date to the authors' knowledge, as well as two-mode entanglement with an estimated coherence-limited fidelities of 99.9% after post-selection. These results establish our platform as a robust foundation for quantum information processing, allowing for future extensions to high-dimensional qudit encodings.

Accurate Force Field for Carbon Dioxide–Silica Interactions Based on Density Functional Theory

Fluid–silica interfaces are ubiquitous in chemistry, occurring in both natural geochemical environments and practical applications ranging from separations to catalysis. Simulations of these interfaces have been, and continue to be, a significant avenue for understanding their behavior. A constraining factor, however, is the availability of accurate force fields. Most simulations use traditional “mixing rules” to determine nonbonded dispersion interactions, an approach that has not been critically examined. Here, in this study, we present Lennard-Jones parameters for the interaction of carbon dioxide with silica interfaces that are optimized to reproduce density functional theory (DFT)-based binding energies. The modeling is based on the recently developed silica-DDEC force field, whose atomic charges are consistent with DFT calculations. Standard mixing rules are found to predict weaker CO 2 binding to silica than that obtained from DFT, an effect corrected by the optimized parameters given here. This behavior extends to other silica force fields (Clayff and Gulmen-Thompson), and the present Lennard-Jones parameters improve their performance as well. The effects of improved Lennard-Jones parameters on the structural and dynamical properties of condensed CO 2 in silica slit pores are also examined.

Programmable Phase Selection between Altermagnetic and Noncentrosymmetric Polymorphs of MnTe on InP via Molecular Beam Epitaxy

This dataset contains DFT input and output files supporting the theoretical modeling in the associated publication (ACS Appl. Mater. Interfaces 2026, 18, 15654-15664). The calculations model the interfacial energetics of two MnTe polymorphs — NiAs-MnTe (hexagonal, alpha phase) and ZnS-MnTe (cubic, gamma phase) — on InP(111) substrates with two surface terminations: In-terminated InP(111)A and P-terminated InP(111)B. This gives four interface configurations: NiAs on In-terminated (experimentally observed), NiAs on P-terminated (computed for comparison), ZnS on In-terminated (computed for comparison), and ZnS on P-terminated (experimentally observed). The dataset is organized into four calculation types, each covering all four polymorph/termination combinations: (i) Slabs: Pristine MnTe/InP heterostructure slabs used to compute total energies and interface energy densities (Eint) for all four configurations, as reported in Fig. 6 of the main text. (ii) Disorder: Same slab geometries with a P_Te + Te_P antisite defect pair introduced near the interface, used to assess chemical intermixing effects on interface stability (Fig. S8, SI). (iii) Strain: Pristine slab calculations with in-plane lattice parameters strained by -1% and +1% relative to the InP lattice constant, used to evaluate strain-dependent interface energetics (Fig. S9, SI). (iv) Charge_Density: Single-point calculations on the full heterostructure, the isolated InP slab, and the isolated MnTe slab at fixed geometry, used to compute differential charge density plots showing interfacial charge accumulation and depletion as a function of surface termination (Fig. S10, SI). Each calculation folder contains INCAR, KPOINTS, POSCAR, CONTCAR, OUTCAR, and POTCAR_info.txt (PAW potential information, excluding the full POTCAR due to VASP licensing restrictions). The calculations were performed using VASP 6.4.3 with PBE exchange-correlation, PAW potentials, a Hubbard correction of Ueff = 5 eV on Mn d-states, and A-type AFM spin initialization.

Interpreting test temperature and loading rate effects on the fracture toughness of polymer-metal interfaces via time–temperature superposition

Here, in this letter, we present interfacial fracture toughness data for a polymer-metal interface where tests were conducted at various test temperatures T and loading rates $\dot{δ}$. An adhesively bonded asymmetric double cantilever beam (ADCB) specimen was utilized to measure toughness. ADCB specimens were created by bonding a thinner, upper adherend to a thicker, lower adherend (both 6061 T6 aluminum) using a thin layer of epoxy adhesive, such that the crack propagated along the interface between the thinner adherend and the epoxy layer. The specimens were tested at T from 25 to 65 °C and $\dot{δ}$ from 0.002 to 0.2 mm/s. The measured interfacial toughness Γ increased as both T and $\dot{δ}$ increased. For an ADCB specimen loaded at a constant $\dot{δ}$, the energy release rate G increases as the crack length a increases. For this reason, we defined rate effects in terms of the rate of change in the energy release rate $\dot{G}$. Although not rigorously correct, a formal application of time–temperature superposition (TTS) analysis to the Γ data provided useful insights on the observed dependencies. In the TTS-shifted data, Γ decreased and then increased for monotonically increasing $\dot{G}$. Thus, the TTS analysis suggests that there is a minimum value of Γ. This minimum value could be used to define a lower bound in Γ when designing critical engineering applications that are subjected to T and $\dot{δ}$ excursions.

Design and performance of AI agents interfacing with an atomic layer deposition tool

In this work, we introduce the design of an atomic layer deposition (ALD) reactor augmented with an AI interface for autonomous materials synthesis. Our modular design encapsulates the particularities of the hardware behind a Python interface that communicates with the ALD control software via transmission control protocol. This interface is compatible with model context protocol interfaces used in agentic frameworks. We have integrated our tool with a simple AI agent that leverages a large language model to transform user-supplied queries into ALD processes that are then run in our reactor. Our approach uses a JavaScript object notation schema to encode ALD processes. Our experimental results show that the AI interface does not impose a significant overhead to our control software, at least within our fastest 10 ms scale. We also carried out a detailed evaluation of the agent performance using leading models in two classes of tasks: basic instruction and process discovery tasks, where the agent is presented with a target material and needs to identify the correct ALD process compatible with the reactor configuration. Despite the simplicity of our agent design, we observed that most of the advanced models excelled at the instruction tasks. However, only recent models, such as o1, o3, GPT-5, and Claude Opus 4, performed well in process discovery tasks. We also observed significant variability in the response for the hardest challenges. While the results obtained are promising, we identify areas where AI research could improve the performance of agents for ALD.

A Geometric Volume of Fluid-Based Multiphase Flow Solver Extension to the Reacting Flow Solver, PeleLM

A new algorithm is presented to simulate multiphase flows with surface tension in a pathway for spray combustion simulation. The algorithm combines capabilities from two open-source packages, including the interface reconstruction library (IRL), a library of computational geometry routines to enable the volume of fluid (VOF) method, and PeleLM, a solver for the reacting Navier-Stokes equations. Additionally, surface tension is implemented using the continuum surface force (CSF) model with an improved height function technique in the volume fraction field. Spurious errors in volume fraction arising from our combined strategy are corrected through a topology-based method that improves both numerical stability and accuracy. Multiple validation simulations are conducted, including (i) translations and rotations of Zalesak's disk, (ii) a stationary circular droplet with surface tension, (iii) an oscillating elliptical droplet, and (iv) three-dimensional deformation of a spherical droplet. Results indicate that the combined scheme retains the favorable properties of each of the component algorithms.

A Framework to Demonstrate a DNP3 Interface With a CIM-Based Data Integration Platform: Preprint

The contemporary electrical grid is characterized by its complexity and abundance of data. A control-rich environment supported by information and communication technologies within an Advanced Distribution Management System (ADMS) presents a viable and cost-effective option for utility companies aiming to implement advanced real-time analytical schemes for monitoring and remotely controlling distribution feeders. Modular platform-based approaches to distribution operations require a structured framework for acquiring field device measurements, performing analytics, converting the setpoint to the correct protocol, and sending it on the appropriate communications network to the field devices. We present the development and deployment of an application service to integrate an open-source standardsbased platform with an ADMS test bed with field devices using the Distributed Network Protocol (DNP3) for data exchange. The step-by-step procedure for establishing the DNP3-Master service on an open-source distribution platform is outlined, comprehensively explaining the Master setup process. Moreover, sample use case results highlight the capabilities of the DNP3- Master service setup. Results demonstrate the scalability and configurability of the DNP3-Master service, making it adaptable for integration with other relevant applications, thus providing potential opportunities for real-world field trials and real-time assessments.

Physical Testing of The PSEC5 ASIC

The PSEC5 ASIC is a high-speed waveform sampling chip designed for ultra-fast timing detectors, offering up to 40 GSPS sampling with 10-bit resolution. This makes it well-suited for applications requiring fine time resolution, such as MCPs and LGADs. This work focuses on the physical testing and validation of the chip s internal clocking and SPI-controlled registers. Testing began with inspection of schematics and the prototype to identify and resolve design issues. Then, custom firmware was developed for an Arduino controller to interface with the chip via SPI, enabling read and write access to key control registers. Results confirm that the VCO operates between ~3.2 4.0 GHz and remains stable under non-VCOVDD fluctuations. The Division Ratio register enables frequency division by known factors (256, 128, 64, etc.), indicating a pre-division frequency of 3.2 GHz when the digital band is unmodified. While most registers responded correctly, some issues were observed, including unexpected current draw and unstable discriminator behavior. Overall, the chip shows promising functionality, but further work is needed to understand the state of the read only registers and address the existing issues. Continued testing and firmware development will be critical to ensuring reliable integration into detector systems.

Exact signed distance fields using parallel Fast Sweeping Method

Signed distance fields are often used in multiphysics simulations to track material interfaces. We present a simple methodology based on the fast sweeping method to generate the exact signed distance from triangular meshes and linear paths on Cartesian grids. The methodology propagates the closest primitive to the boundary to the rest of the domain following the characteristics. A local upwind criterion is used to decide between the new and existing closest primitive at each grid point while capturing the correct sign of the global function. The methodology has optimal computational complexity and runs efficiently in distributed-memory architectures. We include 2D and 3D test cases along with a resolution study up to 0.512 trillion zones and 1,000 computer cores. The solution strategy can also be applied to other types of meshes or collections of primitives.

Building workflows for an interactive human-in-the-loop automated experiment (hAE) in STEM-EELS

Exploring the structural, chemical, and physical properties of matter on the nano- and atomic scales has become possible with the recent advances in aberration-corrected electron energy-loss spectroscopy (EELS) in scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). However, the current paradigm of STEM-EELS relies on the classical rectangular grid sampling, in which all surface regions are assumed to be of equal a priori interest. However, this is typically not the case for real-world scenarios, where phenomena of interest are concentrated in a small number of spatial locations, such as interfaces, structural and topological defects, and multi-phase inclusions. One of the foundational problems is the discovery of nanometer- or atomic-scale structures having specific signatures in EELS spectra. Herein, we systematically explore the hyperparameters controlling deep kernel learning (DKL) discovery workflows for STEM-EELS and identify the role of the local structural descriptors and acquisition functions in experiment progression. In agreement with the actual experiment, we observe that for certain parameter combinations the experiment path can be trapped in the local minima. We demonstrate the approaches for monitoring the automated experiment in the real and feature space of the system and knowledge acquisition of the DKL model. Based on these, we construct intervention strategies defining the human-in-the-loop automated experiment (hAE). This approach can be further extended to other techniques including 4D STEM and other forms of spectroscopic imaging. The hAE library is available on Github at https://github.com/utkarshp1161/hAE/tree/main/hAE.

Software Verification of VARPOW

The VARPOW program is a post-processing utility program for DIF3D, specifically DIF3DVARIANT, and it was developed to provide interface files for the thermal analysis program DASSH. The basic methodology of VARPOW is to take the neutron and gamma flux (moments) calculated by DIF3D (or GAMSOR) and combine them with the heating (coefficient) cross sections to calculate the spatial power distributions using the DIF3DVARIANT spatial basis. VARPOW can use the output from GAMSOR (both steady state neutron and gamma flux calculations) or standard DIF3D/REBUS calculations (neutron flux only). The correct approach for defining the power distribution is to use GAMSOR as its purpose was to properly compute the gamma heating throughout the modeled domain. The power densities calculated by VARPOW are broken into fuel, cladding and coolant terms for which isotope-wise categorization is needed. VARPOW has built in options the user can select for the isotope categorization or VARPOW can import a file that details the isotope categorization. VARPOW can export the solution in the polynomial basis of DIF3D-VARIANT or the monomial basis of DIF3D-VARIANT. The purpose of this work is to verify the power distribution results calculated by VARPOW from both the GAMSOR and DIF3D input options and verify that the input and output options are consistent with the manual. Hand calculation and independent numerical calculation are used for this verification work.

Recent progress on coarse graining simulations

We focus on coarse graining simulations based on the primary conservation equations, effectively codesigned physics and algorithms, and low-Mach-number corrected (LMC) hydrodynamics. Simulation methods involve LANL’s x-Radiation-Adaptive-Grid-Eulerian Large-Eddy Simulation, Besnard-Harlow-Rauenzahn (BHR) Reynolds-Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) approach, and Dynamic BHR – a paradigm bridging RANS and LES. A relevant question addressed relates to whether 3D RANS and RANS/LES hybrids – the industry standards for aerospace and automotive research, are presently relevant for practical variable-density applications involving shocked and accelerated interface instabilities. Furthermore, recent simulations of the GaTECH inclined mixing-layer shock-tube and NIF ICF-capsule experiments are used to demonstrate issues, challenges, and potential for 3D coarse grained LMC simulation strategies for robustly simulating complex transitional and coupled hydrodynamics-multiphysics with coarser resolution. Present LES readiness to provide accurate predictions at scale is demonstrated – whereas 3D RANS and RANS/LES bridging do not appear impactful in this context.

Underwater unexploded ordnance discrimination based on intrinsic target polarizabilities – A case study

Seabed unexploded ordnance that resulted partly from the high failure rate among munitions from more than 80 years ago and from decades of military training and testing of weapons systems poses an increasing concern all around the world. Although existing magnetic systems can detect clusters of debris, they are not able to tell whether a munition is still intact requiring special removal (e.g. in situ detonation) or is harmless scrap metal. The marine environment poses unique challenges, and transferring knowledge and approaches from land to a marine environment has not been easy and straightforward. On land, the background soil conductivity is much lower than the conductivity of the unexploded ordnance and the electromagnetic response of a target is essentially the same as that in free space. For those frequencies required for target characterization in the marine environment, the seawater response must be accounted for and removed from the measurements. The system developed for this study uses fields from three orthogonal transmitters to illuminate the target and four three-component receivers to measure the signal arranged in a configuration that inherently cancels the system's response due to the enclosing seawater, the sea–bottom interface and the air–sea interface for shallow deployments. The system was tested as a cued system on land and underwater in San Francisco Bay – it was mounted on a simple platform on top of a support structure that extended 1 m below and allowed the diver to place metal objects to a specific location even in low-visibility conditions. The measurements were stable and repeatable. Furthermore, target responses estimated from marine measurements matched those from land acquisition, confirming that the seawater and air–sea interface responses were removed successfully. Thirty-six channels of normalized induction responses were used for the classification, which was done by estimating the target principal dipole polarizabilities. Our results demonstrated that the system can resolve the intrinsic polarizabilities of the target, with clear distinctions between those of symmetric intact unexploded ordnance and irregular scrap metal. The prototype system was able to classify an object based on its size, shape and metal content and correctly estimate its location and orientation.

Datum: A Scientific Metadata Catalog

The data catalog market is currently flooded with a myriad of different products, but none serve the scientific community well. There are cloud-native tools like Databricks, Snowflake,to on-premise solutions like Collibra and Datahub. The common failing of all these tools however, is their inability to serve the scientific data community directly. Most catalogs are targeted towards financial, health, or user data - not sensor or scientific domain data. They also prioritize integrations that often don’t exist or are just starting to be used in the scientific realm - all while ignoring common scientific tools and file types. Datum is a catalog which targets the scientific data directly, including the tools and networks in which those tools are used. We work with the producers and consumers of the data where they are, targeting cloud and on-premise with a focus on classified networks. Datum is an Erlang/Elixir application. Technical Features Note: The features listed below are still under development and may change, slightly, upon final delivery of the product. File Formats - Datum has the ability to read additional metadata and provides processing pipelines for the following file formats: Plain Text, PDF, LaTeX, HTML, Open Document Format (.odt), XML, CSV/TSV (and other standard delimiters), OpenDocument Database and Spreadsheets, Geo-Referenced TIFF, Common Data Format, HDF/HDF5, LabView TDMS, Excel, DeltaTables, Parquet, Apache Iceberg, Apache Hudi and many others. Metadata Collection - Scanners for the local and networked file systems and cloud storage providers. Network integration with common databases such as MSSQL and MySQL. User Plugin System - Users are able to provide either file processing, metadata extraction, or sampling plugins in the programming language of their choice. Authentication/Authorization -: OIDC integration, SCIM provisioning and EntraID integration out of the box. Full user and group management system with a “least privilege” operating mode. Governance - Customizable data governance platform; dictate and enforce required metadata, enforce data embargos, and enforce user agreements and NDAs before data access. Ability to create health checks on data, rejecting abandoned or poorly curated data and automatically removing it from the search index. Ability for users to submit corrections. Search - Semantic search is a first class citizen. No licenses to expensive, external software required. Integrated use of vectors and vector-based search allows for AI agent integration at all levels of operation. Metadata Model - Display and control data’s lineage and connections to other data and data directories. Data is modeled after a filesystem - an organization instantly recognizable and navigable by most any user. CLI and SDK - Ships with a Command Line Interface (CLI) tool and with a fully-featured Python SDK. This allows for rapid and programmatic use of Datum by every level of user. Minimal Infrastructure - Datum ships as a single executable file and can be run on any operating system and most CPU architectures. Datum has no reliance on external databases, search indexing tools, or other outside services - and it runs equally well on edge computing devices, cloud services, or in a clustered HPC environment.
