Detecting black hole binaries with precessing spins (spins not aligned or antialigned with the orbital angular momentum) is crucial for gaining unique astrophysical insights into the formation of these sources. Therefore, it is essential to develop a search strategy capable of identifying compact binaries with precessing spins. Aligned-spin waveform models are inadequate for detecting compact binaries with high precessing spins. While several efforts have been made to construct template banks for detecting precessing binaries using matched filtering, this approach requires many templates to cover the entire search parameter space, significantly increasing the computational cost. This work explores the detection of GW signals from binary black holes (BBH) with both aligned and precessing spins using a convolutional neural network (CNN). We frame the detection of GW signals from aligned or precessing BBH systems as a hierarchical binary classification problem. The first CNN model classifies strain data as either pure noise or noisy signals (GWs from BBH). A second CNN model then classifies the detected noisy signal data as originating from either precessing or nonprecessing (aligned/antialigned) systems. Using simulated data, the trained classifier distinguishes between noise and noisy GW signals with more than 99% accuracy. The second classifier further differentiates between aligned and highly precessing signals with around 95% accuracy. We extended our analysis to a multidetector framework by performing a coincident test. Additionally, we tested the performance of our trained architecture on data from the first three observation runs (O1, O2, and O3) of LIGO and Virgo to identify detected BBH events as either aligned or precessing.","PeriodicalId":20167,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review D","volume":"24 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142594547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In these models, the minimal length would be a physical limit, not just a mathematical tool, and should be Lorentz invariant. In this paper, we study two-qubit communication and entanglement harvesting in a field subject to a covariant bandlimit (minimum length) and present the changes induced by this bandlimit. We find the bandlimit introduces nonlocality and acausal communication in a manner unlike noncovariant bandlimits or other quantum optical approximations. We also observe that this covariant bandlimit introduces uncertainties in time and temporal ordering with the unusual behavior attributed to the behavior of virtual particles being modified by the covariant cutoff.","PeriodicalId":20167,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review D","volume":"95 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142594548","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Truly closed systems do not exist. The phenomenon of decoherence, which is brought about by the interaction with the environment, removes the relative phase of quantum states in superposition and makes them incoherent. In neutrino physics, decoherence, although extensively studied has only been analyzed thus far exclusively in terms of its dissipative characteristics. While it is true that dissipation, or the exponential suppression, eventually is the main observable effect, the exchange of energy between the medium and the system, is an important factor that has been overlooked up until now. In this work, we introduce this term and analyze its consequences.","PeriodicalId":20167,"journal":{"name":"Physical Review D","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-11-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142597317","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"物理与天体物理","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
