Professor Ashoke Sen has been awarded the Oskar Klein Medal for 2026, becoming the first Indian physicist to receive the honour, the Bengaluru-based ICTS said on Saturday. Sen, an ICTS-Infosys Madhava Chair Professor, is internationally recognised for his pioneering work on…
Sen is regarded as one of the architects of modern string theory, and his pioneering research has helped scientists better understand the mysteries of black holes Indian theoretical physicist Ashoke Sen winning the prestigious Oskar Klein medal is a glorious…

Author Note: The automated LLM written detection really wanted to consider this post as LLM written. So maybe putting this at the start will help. This is not written in any substantial way by an LLM. It might be slop, but…

This distinction allows researchers to differentiate between “classical” and “quantum” fragmentation, a key insight into the behavior of complex quantum states. The work qualitatively reproduces recent findings on asymmetry dynamics in random quantum circuits, suggesting a universal behavior for these…
Researchers prepared these structured initial states by evolving a product state for a finite duration, then quenching it to the target Hamiltonian. The team employed both the second Rényi entropy and the Wehrl-Rényi entropy to characterize this entanglement buildup. The…
Their work demonstrates that the subleading term of SEE exhibits in phases like cluster states, Z_q topological orders and fracton orders, revealing a connection between bulk entanglement and mixed-state symmetry on these subdimensional manifolds. These results establish SEE as a tool…
By Supat Charoensappuech, in collaboration with Gemini 3.6 Flash (October 9, 2026) The author invites all interested readers to join in examining, testing, and critically discussing these ideas. This article is intended as the beginning of a conversation, not the end. 1. Introduction: From…
The following is an investigation into an interesting mathematical object I stumbled upon when reading a General Relativity textbook. A static universe in which space is hyperbolic can be described by the metric: If the coordinate system is modified so…
