We use our lattice QCD computation of the B_c→J/ψ form factors to determine the differential decay rate for the semitauonic decay channel and construct the ratio of branching fractions R(J/ψ)=B(B_c^-→J/ψτ^-ν[over ¯]_τ)/B(B_c^-→J/ψμ^-ν[over ¯]_μ). We find R(J/ψ)=0.2582(38) and give an error budget. We also extend the relevant angular observables, which were recently suggested for the study of lepton flavor universality violating effects in B→D^*ℓν, to B_c→J/ψℓν and make predictions for their values under different new physics scenarios.Chiral spin textures stabilized by the interfacial Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya interaction, such as skyrmions and homochiral domain walls, have been shown to exhibit qualities that make them attractive for their incorporation in a variety of spintronic devices. However, for thicker multilayer films, mixed textures occur in which an achiral Bloch component coexists with a chiral Néel component of the domain wall to reduce the demagnetization field at the film surface. We show that an interlayer Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya interaction can break the degeneracy between Bloch chiralities. We further find large population asymmetries and chiral branching in the Bloch component of the domain walls in well-ordered Co/Pd multilayers. This asymmetry is a result of the combined effect of the demagnetization field and an interlayer Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya interaction, and is strongly related to film thickness and structural ordering. This work paves the way toward the utilization of this effect toward controlling Bloch chirality in magnetic multilayers.We compute the gravitational multipole moments and ratios of moments of nonextremal and of supersymmetric black holes in four dimensions, as well as of horizonless microstate geometries of the latter. For supersymmetric and for Kerr black holes many of these multipole moments vanish, and their dimensionless ratios are ill defined. We present two methods to compute these dimensionless ratios, which for certain supersymmetric black holes agree surprisingly well. We also compute these dimensionless ratios for the Kerr solution. Our methods allow us to calculate an infinite number of hitherto unknown parameters of Kerr black holes, giving us a new window into their physics.We suggest searching for the charged Higgs boson at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) via cg→bH^+→btb[over ¯]. In the general two Higgs doublet model, extra top Yukawa couplings ρ_tc and ρ_tt can drive the disappearance of antimatter from the Universe, while c[over ¯]bH^+ and t[over ¯]bH^+ couple with strength ρ_tcV_tb and ρ_ttV_tb, respectively. For ρ_tc,ρ_tt∼0.5, and m_H^+∼300-500  GeV, evidence could emerge from LHC run 2 data at hand and discovery by adding run 3 data in the near future.Resolving the structural dynamics of the initial steps of chemical reactions is challenging. We report the femtosecond time-resolved wide-angle x-ray scattering of the photodissociation of diiodomethane in cyclohexane. The data reveal with structural detail how the molecule dissociates into radicals, how the radicals collide with the solvent, and how they form the photoisomer. We extract how translational and rotational kinetic energy is dispersed into the solvent. We also find that 85% of the primary radical pairs are confined to their original solvent cage and discuss how this influences the downstream recombination reactions.The early detection of tipping points, which describe a rapid departure from a stable state, is an important theoretical and practical challenge. Tipping points are most commonly associated with the disappearance of steady-state or periodic solutions at fold bifurcations. We discuss here multifrequency tipping (M tipping), which is tipping due to the disappearance of an attracting torus. M tipping is a generic phenomenon in systems with at least two intrinsic or external frequencies that can interact and, hence, is relevant to a wide variety of systems of interest. We show that the more complicated sequence of bifurcations involved in M tipping provides a possible consistent explanation for as yet unexplained behavior observed near tipping in climate models for the Atlantic meridional overturning circulation. More generally, this Letter provides a path toward identifying possible early warning signs of tipping in multiple-frequency systems.For semiconductors and insulators, it is commonly believed that in-gap transitions into nonlocalized states are smoothly suppressed in the clean limit; i.e., at zero temperature, their contribution vanishes due to the unavailability of states. We present a novel type of subgap response which shows that this intuition does not generalize beyond linear response. Namely, we find that the dc current due to the bulk photovoltaic effect can be finite and mostly temperature independent in an allowed window of subgap transitions. We expect that a moderate range of excitation energies lies between the bulk energy gap and the mobility edge where this effect is observable. [https://www.selleckchem.com/products/opicapone.html Opicapone] Using a simplified relaxation time model for the band broadening, we find the subgap dc current to be temperature independent for noninteracting systems but temperature dependent for strongly interacting systems. Thus, the subgap response may be used to distinguish whether a state is single-particle localized or many-body localized.A photonic cluster state with a tree-type entanglement structure constitutes an efficient resource for quantum error correction of photon loss. But the generation of a tree cluster state with an arbitrary size is notoriously difficult. Here, we propose a protocol to deterministically generate photonic tree states of arbitrary size by using only a single quantum emitter. Photonic entanglement is established through both emission and rescattering from the same emitter, enabling fast and resource-efficient entanglement generation. The same protocol can also be extended to generate more general tree-type entangled states.A Thouless pump can be regarded as a dynamical version of the integer quantum Hall effect. In a finite-size configuration, such a topological pump displays edge modes that emerge dynamically from one bulk band and dive into the opposite bulk band, an effect that can be reproduced with both quantum and classical systems. Here, we report the first unassisted dynamic energy transfer across a metamaterial, via pumping of such topological edge modes. The system is a topological aperiodic acoustic crystal, with a phason that can be fast and periodically driven in adiabatic cycles. When one edge of the metamaterial is excited in a topological forbidden range of frequencies, a microphone placed at the other edge starts to pick up a signal as soon as the pumping process is set in motion. In contrast, the microphone picks no signal when the forbidden range of frequencies is nontopological.
