Feedback cooling of a levitated nanoparticle in a radially polarized vector beam trap

arXiv:2609.31068v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: We demonstrate optical levitation and feedback cooling of a silica nanoparticle (radius = 78~nm) trapped within a radial vector beam (RVB) in high vacuum. Radial vector beams, when focused by a high-NA lens, produce a smaller focal spot than conventional Gaussian beams, yielding tighter optical potentials and potentially reduced photon-recoil heating rates. A vortex wave plate was used to generate the RVB using an aspheric lens (NA = 0.77) to...

Warned alike, AI agents avoid the less-crowded road while people take it

arXiv:2609.30883v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: AI agents built on a few shared models increasingly act for many people. A shared forecast about others can align their choices and change how scarce capacity is allocated. We tested this feedback in a two-road congestion game.

On the Limits of Univariate Deep Learning for Significant Wave Height Forecasting

arXiv:2609.30688v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This study conducts a systematic hyperparameter search across five deep learning architectures, DLinear, LSTM, PatchTST, ResAttLstm, and Mamba2, and nine context lengths (1-168 h) for single-station significant wave height (Hs) forecasting on NDBC buoy 41009, followed by re-evaluation of the best configurations on a 47-buoy, 37-year corpus. The five families converge to a common performance level on the multi-buoy evaluation (between-family SD...

Weather and Climate Without Fluid Mechanics

arXiv:2609.30589v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Even if it were possible, attempting to model the motion of a fluid in a pipe by tracking each individual molecule would be an extraordinary waste of computation. The emergent laws of fluid mechanics accomplish the same goal on a laptop instead of a datacenter. But a sufficiently complex fluid such as in Earth's atmosphere again requires a datacenter, this time to resolve the many contortions in the fields making up our weather.
