The detection of cosmic antideuterons ($\overline{\rm D}$) at kinetic energies below a few GeV/n could provide a smoking gun signature for dark matter (DM). However, the theoretical uncertainties of coalescence models have represented so far one of the main limiting factors for precise predictions of the $\overline{\rm D}$ flux. In this talk, I will present a novel calculation of the...
The origin of non-zero neutrino mass remains unknown. Currently, there are many possibilities for generating a neutrino mass. We divide them into two categories, the vacuum neutrino mass and the dark neutrino mass. Both the vacuum mass and the dark mass can fit the current oscillation data. For the vacuum mass, the value is only a constant. However, the dark mass is proportional to the DM...
Foundation models - large, pretrained architectures adaptable across domains - are being explored in physics, from particle events to astrophysical data, though current evidence for their benefits and scope is mixed. This talk surveys emerging use cases, distinguishing what is empirically established from what remains speculative, with attention to embedding physical structure and constraints,...
Quantum advantage refers to a computational benefit that quantum processors can achieve, which is unattainable by their classical counterparts. While numerous quantum algorithms have been proposed to demonstrate such an advantage, whether it has truly been achieved remains a subject of ongoing debate. This talk will introduce a Hamiltonian simulation of (1+1)D abelian lattice gauge theory on...
