    50 Years of QCD

    October 11, 2023

    A new Collection by the Physical Review journals celebrates the 50th anniversary of the discovery of asymptotic freedom in quantum chromodynamics (QCD)—the theoretical basis for the strong force of nature that binds quarks and gluons into hadrons.

    APS and Astrobites Announce Partnership

    October 25, 2023

    The American Physical Society (APS) is pleased to announce that it will begin sponsoring Astrobites, a daily astrophysical literature journal written by graduate students in astronomy. This mutually beneficial collaboration aims to enhance the dissemination of research, educational resources, and career insights in the field of astronomy and astrophysics.

    Characterizing the “Knee” of High-Energy Cosmic Rays

    March 26, 2024

    Using observations made with an array of thousands of particle detectors, researchers have uncovered an important clue about cosmic rays that originate from outside of our Galaxy.

    Precision Cosmology with a Ground-Based Telescope

    March 25, 2024

    The South Pole Telescope has analyzed a trove of its CMB data, finding results that confirm the general picture of the cosmos drawn from previous space-based experiments.

    EDITORS' SUGGESTION

    Hybrid approach to long-term binary neutron-star simulations

    The numerical simulations of binary neutron star mergers is an important, but computationally expensive endeavor. The authors demonstrate that significant computational savings can be realized by adopting a hybrid approach to these simulations by using a fully dynamical spacetime solver initially, but switching to a conformally-flat spacetime solver as the system evolves.

    EDITORS' SUGGESTION

    Spectral and Krylov complexity in billiard systems

    The authors study spectral and Krylov complexity in quantum billiard systems at finite temperature. They show that spectral complexity may be used to probe the transition between the chaotic and integrable configurations for the billiard systems. For Krylov complexity, they study the associated Lanczos coefficients showing that their growth rate satisfies the conjectured generalized chaos bound, and that they produce an exponential growth of the Krylov complexity at early times.

    EDITORS' SUGGESTION

    Bell inequality is violated in B0J/ψK*(892)0 decays

    The authors use data from the LHCb collaboration for the helicity amplitudes in the B0 –> J/ψK*(892)0 decays to compute the entanglement among the polarizations of the final vector mesons. They show explicitly that the Bell inequality is violated, in accord with the general principles of quantum mechanics.

    Three’s Company for Bottom Quarks

    February 20, 2024

    Bottom quarks are increasingly more likely to exist in three-quark states rather than two-quark ones as the density of their environment increases.
