▲ 摘要：
爆震輻射是指一顆大質量恆星的核心坍縮爆炸所產生的衝擊波穿過其外層時產生的光。迄今，最早偵測到這種訊號是在爆炸發生幾小時後，儘管也有報導發現了其他一些訊號。
早期光曲線的時間演變應該提供對激波傳播的見解，包括爆炸的不對稱性和附近的環境，但這一直受到缺乏多波長觀測的阻礙。研究者報告了M101星系中II型超新星（SN 2023ixf）的即時多波段觀測，開始於爆炸後約1.4小時。爆炸的恆星是一顆紅超巨星，半徑約440太陽半徑。
光曲線在1~2小時的時間尺度上迅速演變，並且在最初的幾個小時內比模型預測的更暗、更紅，研究者將其歸因於一個光學厚度的塵埃殼在被沖擊波破壞之前。他們推斷，爆發和周圍塵埃的分佈可能不是球對稱的。

▲ 摘要：
超新星（SN）的早期演化可以揭示環境和祖恆星的訊息。當一顆恆星在真空中爆炸時，從其表面逸出的第一批光子表現為一個短暫的、長達數小時的衝擊波爆發耀斑，隨後是冷卻的發射階段。
然而，對於在密集的、光學厚度的星周物質（CSM）分佈中爆炸的恆星，第一批光子從恆星邊緣以外的物質中逸出，初始耀斑的持續時間可以延長到幾天，在此期間，逸出的發射表示光球加熱。缺乏紫外線（UV）數據的早期偶然觀測無法確定早期發射是加熱還是冷卻，因此無法確定早期爆炸事件的性質。研究者報告了M101星系中SN 2023ixf的紫外光譜。
利用紫外線數據以及一套全面的多波長觀測，研究者暫時解決了由SN發射加熱的厚介質產生爆炸激波的問題，並得出一個可靠的熱光度曲線，表明激波從一個半徑比典型超巨星大得多的緻密層爆發出來。

▲ 摘要：
費米子基塔耶夫鍊是具有拓樸馬約拉納零模的正規模型。研究者報告了在奈米光力學網絡中玻色子模擬的實驗實現，其中參數相互作用誘導了奈米力學模式之間的分束耦合和雙模壓縮，分別類似於費米子情況下的跳波和p波配對。這種特殊的結構在玻色子動力學和輸運中產生了一系列非同尋常的現象。
研究者觀察到正交相關的手性放大，增益與系統尺寸呈指數標度，對邊界條件有強烈的敏感度。所有這些都與玻色子基塔耶夫鏈獨特的非厄米拓撲性質有關。研究探討了拓樸相變，並透過控制交互作用的相位和振幅揭示了豐富的動態相圖。
他們給出了對小擾動的指數增強響應的實驗證明，研究結果代表了一種新的合成相的證明，期玻色子動力學不具有費米子的平行性，研究者建立了一個系統來研究非厄米拓樸及其在訊號處理與感測的應用。
▲ Abstract：
The fermionic Kitaev chain is a canonical model featuring topological Majorana zero modes. We report the experimental realization of its bosonic analogue in a nano-optomechanical network, in which the parametric interactions induce beam-splitter coupling and two-mode squeezing among the nanomechanical modes, analogous to hopping and p-wave pairing in the fermionic case, respectively. This specific structure gives rise to a set of extraordinary phenomena in the bosonic dynamics and transport. We observe quadrature-dependent and ioniond strong sensitivity to boundary conditions. All these are linked to the unique non-Hermitian topological nature of the bosonic Kitaev chain. We probe the topological phase transition and uncover a rich dynamical phase diagram by controlling interition and uncover a rich dynamical phase diagram by controlling interition interm. demonstration of an exponentially enhanced response to a small perturbation. These results represent the demonstration of a new synthetic phase of matter whose bosonic dynamics do not have fermionic phase of matterion paraven creave for union scan nion-unional-片, 集形signal manipulation and sensing.

▲ 摘要：
在半導體自旋載子中，編碼量子位元已被認為是一種有前途的商業量子電腦方法，可以平版生產和大規模整合。然而，有利的量子應用所需的大量量子位元的操作將產生超過毫開爾文溫度下低溫恆溫器可用冷卻能力的熱負荷。隨著規模放大的加速，必須在1 K以上建立容錯操作，此時冷卻功率要高幾個數量級。
研究者在1k以上的矽中調整和操作自旋量子位，其保真度在這些溫度下的容錯操作所需的範圍內。研究者設計了一種演算法初始化協議，即使在熱能大大高於量子位元能量的情況下也可以製備純雙量子位元狀態，並結合射頻讀出，使讀出和初始化的保真度高達99.34%。
他們也證明了單量子位元Clifford閘保真度高達99.85%，雙量子位元閘保真度為98.92%。這些進展克服了熱能必須遠低於量子位元能量才能實現高保真操作的基本限制，克服了可擴展和容錯量子計算途徑中的主要障礙。

▲ 摘要：
南極環極流（ACC）是世界上最大的洋流系統，影響全球海洋環流、氣候和南極冰蓋的穩定性。研究者記錄了太平洋南部沉積物岩心的ACC強度變化。與全球變冷和全球冰量增加相反，他們發現自530萬年前以來，ACC流量沒有線性的長期趨勢。相反，他們觀察到在百萬年的時間尺度上，從上新世全球變冷期間ACC強度增加到隨後隨著早更新世進一步變冷而減少。
ACC體系的這種轉變與南大洋的重新配置相吻合，南大洋改變了ACC對大氣和海洋強迫的敏感度。研究發現ACC強度變化與40萬年偏心週期密切相關，可能源自於熱帶太平洋溫度變異相關的南太平洋急流的歲差變化調製。在中更新世過渡時期首次出現了較弱的ACC流、赤道移動的蛋白石沉積和冰期大氣CO2減少之間的持續聯繫。最強的ACC流發生在比現在更溫暖的上新世—更新世時期，這為未來氣候變暖可能增加ACC流提供了證據。

Here we document changes in ACC strength from sediment Oceans in the findimline longdindds in ACC strength from sediment Oceans in the findline in ACC flow since 5.3 million years ago (Ma), in contrast to global cooling9 and increasing global ice volume.

Early Pleistocene cooling. This shift in the ACC regime coincided with a Southern Ocean reconfiguration that altered the sensitivity of the ACC to atmospheric and oceanic forcings. We find ACC strength changes to be closely linked to 400,000-year eccentricity cycles, probably originating from modulation of precessional changes in the South Pacific jet stream linked to tropical Pacific temperature variability. A persistent link between weaker ACC flow, equatorward-shifted opal deposition and reduced atmospheric CO2 during glacial periodirst em. flow occurred during warmer-than-present intervals of the Plio-Pleistocene, providing evidence of potentially increasing ACC flow with future climate warming.

▲ 摘要：
研究者透過整合氣候、流行病學、混合投入產出和可計算的一般均衡全球貿易模型，發展了一個災害足跡分析框架，以估計本世紀中葉熱壓力的社會經濟影響。他們考慮了與熱暴露相關的健康成本、熱引起的勞動生產力損失的價值以及由於供應鏈上的經濟中斷而造成的間接損失。
研究表明，到2060年，在不同的共同社會經濟途徑下，預計全球經濟損失總額將達到0.6%—4.6%，其中健康損失（37%—45%）、勞動生產力損失（18%—37%）和間接損失（12%—43%）。中南部非洲中小型發展中國家的健康損失（比全球平均高2.1至4.0倍）和西非和東南亞的勞動生產力損失（比全球平均高2.0至3.3倍）尤其嚴重。供應鏈中斷的影響更為廣泛，中國和美國等以製造業為主的國家受到更大的衝擊。
