Hadronic uncertainties versus new physics for the W boson mass and Muon g – 2 anomalies
There are now two single measurements of precision observables that have major anomalies in the Standard Model: the recent CDF measurement of the W mass shows a 7σ deviation and the Muon g – 2 experiment at FNAL confirmed a long-standing anomaly, implying a 4.2σ deviation. Doubts regarding new physics interpretations of these anomalies could stem from uncertainties in the common hadronic contributions. We demonstrate that these two anomalies pull the hadronic contributions in opposite directions by performing electroweak fits in which the hadronic contribution was allowed to float. The fits show that including the g – 2 measurement worsens the tension with the CDF measurement and conversely that adjustments that alleviate the CDF tension worsen the g – 2 tension beyond 5σ. This means that if we adopt the CDF W mass measurement, the case for new physics in either the W mass or muon g – 2 is inescapable regardless of the size of the SM hadronic contributions. Lastly, we demonstrate that a mixed scalar leptoquark extension of the Standard Model could explain both anomalies simultaneously.
Empowering a qudit-based quantum processor by traversing the dual bosonic ladder
Abstract High-dimensional quantum information processing has emerged as a promising avenue to transcend hardware limitations and advance the frontiers of quantum technologies. Harnessing the untapped potential of the so-called qudits necessitates the development of quantum protocols beyond the established qubit methodologies. Here, we present a robust, hardware-efficient, and scalable approach for operating multidimensional solid-state systems using Raman-assisted two-photon interactions. We then utilize them to construct extensible multi-qubit operations, realize highly entangled multidimensional states including atomic squeezed states and Schrödinger cat states, and implement programmable entanglement distribution along a qudit array. Our work illuminates the quantum electrodynamics of strongly driven multi-qudit systems and provides the experimental foundation for the future development of high-dimensional quantum applications such as quantum sensing and fault-tolerant quantum computing.

Search for the production of Higgs-portal scalar bosons in the NuMI beam using the MicroBooNE detector
We present the strongest experimental limits to date on the mixing angle, 𝜃, with which a new scalar particle, 𝑆, mixes with the Higgs field in the mass range 110 MeV < 𝑚 𝑆 <155 MeV. This result uses the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber to search for decays of these Higgs-portal scalar particles through the 𝑆 → 𝑒 + 𝑒 − channel with the decays of kaons in the NuMI neutrino beam acting as the source of the scalar particles. The analysis uses an exposure of 2.01 × 10 21 protons on target of NuMI beam data including periods when the beam focusing system was configured to focus positively charged hadrons and separate periods when negatively charged hadrons were focused. The analysis searches for scalar particles produced from kaons decaying in flight in the beam’s decay volume and at rest in the target and absorber. At 𝑚 𝑆 =125 MeV (𝑚 𝑆 =150 MeV) we set a limit of 𝜃 < 3.19 ×10 −4 (𝜃 < 2.79 ×10 −4 ) at the 95% confidence level.
Linear Quantum Coupler for Clean Bosonic Control
Quantum computing with superconducting circuits relies on high-fidelity driven nonlinear processes. An ideal quantum nonlinearity would selectively activate desired coherent processes at high strength, without activating parasitic mixing products or introducing additional decoherence. The wide bandwidth of the Josephson nonlinearity makes this difficult, with undesired drive-induced transitions and decoherence limiting qubit readout, gates, couplers, and amplifiers. Significant strides have recently been made into building better “quantum mixers,” with promise being shown by Kerr-free three-wave mixers that suppress driven frequency shifts, and balanced quantum mixers that explicitly forbid a significant fraction of parasitic processes. We propose a novel mixer that combines both these strengths, with engineered selection rules that make it essentially linear (not just Kerr-free) when idle, and activate clean parametric processes even when driven at high strength. Furthermore, its ideal Hamiltonian is simple to analyze analytically, and we show that this ideal behavior is first-order insensitive to dominant experimental imperfections. We expect this mixer to allow significant advances in high-𝑄 control, readout, and amplification.
Thermodynamic stability of a spin microemulsion in Rashba spin-orbit-coupled bosons
Recent finite-temperature numerical simulations have unveiled a quantum “spin” microemulsion analog, found by raising the temperature of a stripe supersolid phase in a Rashba spin-orbit coupled Bose gas. This microemulsion state is a highly correlated, isotropic normal fluid where atoms self-arrange based on their internal pseudospin into patterns that resemble bicontinuous microemulsions. This finding leaves several open questions regarding the broader accessibility of this phase in experiments. Here, we use equilibrium finite-temperature numerical simulations based on a coherent-state path integral representation to perform a computational investigation into the thermodynamic stability of the spin microemulsion state. Numerical simulations emphasize the requirement of a nearly, but not perfectly, isotropic spin-orbit coupling in order to achieve the microemulsion phase in cold-atom experiments. Moreover, the microemulsion state exists independent of miscibility of the pseudospin components and for a wide range of pseudospin population imbalance, suggesting a high degree of flexibility in choosing the atom and hyperfine states in an experimental realization. Lastly, we demonstrate this feasibility by mimicking a Rashba spin-orbit-coupled 87 Rb experiment in an isotropic harmonic trap, where we confirm the microemulsion's existence via its density profile and equilibrium quasimomentum distribution.
