However, it is a long-term challenge to model this biased tracer and connect the observable to the underlying physics. In this work, we present a hybrid Lagrangian bias expansion emulator, combining the Lagrangian bias expansion and the accurate dynamical evolution from <i>N</i>-body simulation, to predict the power spectrum of the biased tracer in real space. We employ the Kun simulation suite to construct the emulator, emulating across the space of 8 cosmological parameters including dynamic dark energy <i>w</i><sub>0</sub>, <i>w</i><sub><i>a</i></sub>, and total neutrino mass Σ <i>m</i><sub><i>v</i></sub>. The sample variance due to the finite simulation box is further reduced using the Zel’dovich variance control, and it enables the precise measurement of the Lagrangian basis spectra up to the quadratic order. The emulation of basis spectra realizes 1% level accuracy, covering wavelength <i>k</i> ⩽ 1 Mpc<sup>−1</sup> h and redshift 0 ⩽ <i>z</i> ⩽ 3 up to the quadratic order field. To validate the emulator, we perform a joint fit to the halo auto power spectrum and the halo-matter cross power spectrum measured from 46 independent simulations. Depending on the choice of counterterm, the joint fit is unbiased up to <i>k</i><sub>max</sub> ≃ 0.7 Mpc<sup>−1</sup> h within 1–2 percent accuracy, for all the redshift and halo mass samples. As part of the CSST cosmological emulator series, this emulator is expected to provide accurate theoretical predictions for the galaxy power spectrum in upcoming CSST survey.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":774,"journal":{"name":"Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy","volume":"68 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145256739","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}

Surface diffusion rates in marginal glass- forming Fe-based metallic glasses are significantly faster than those of stable metallic glasses. For the first time, an abnormal <i>β</i><sub><i>t</i></sub> relaxation mode with thermal activation character is identified between <i>α</i> and <i>β</i> relaxation.

In this work, we introduce trace-norm-based measures to assess the KD-nonclassicality of quantum states and derive the corresponding trade-off relations for qubit and qutrit systems. For a bipartite state shared by Alice and Bob and a set of measurements applied by Alice, the maximum value of the totally averaged quantum resource of Bob’s states is introduced with respect to a quantum resource quantifier. When the maximum value exceeds the upper bound in a trade-off relation, the bipartite state is said to exhibit nonlocal advantages of quantum resource (NAQR). We prove that a state exhibiting NAQR, such as nonlocal advantages of KD-nonclassicality (NAKDNC), is steerable from Alice to Bob. We demonstrate that NAKDNC of Werner states exhibit much more quantum steering than quantum coherence and quantum imaginarity do and also explore NAKDNC of the two-qutrit isotropic states. These findings emerge KD-nonclassicality as an independent nonclassical resource with operational relevance in quantum information protocols.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":774,"journal":{"name":"Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy","volume":"69 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145284472","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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 recent years, radio pulses have also been detected from white dwarfs (WDs) in tight binary systems, raising the question of whether isolated WDs could similarly host pulsar-like emission. We conducted the most sensitive search to date for coherent radio signals from five isolated, rapidly rotating, and magnetized WDs, using the Five-hundred-meter Aperture Spherical radio Telescope (FAST), the Green Bank Telescope (GBT), and the Australia Telescope Compact Array (ATCA). No pulsed or continuum radio emission was detected down to μJy levels. These non-detections place the most stringent observational constraints yet on the existence of isolated WD pulsars. Our results suggest that either such emission is intrinsically weak, narrowly beamed, or requires binary-induced magnetospheric interactions absent in solitary systems. Comparison with the known radio-emitting WDs highlights the critical role of companion interaction in enabling detectable emission. This work expands on prior surveys by targeting sources with the most favorable physical conditions for WD pulsar-like activity and employing highly sensitive, targeted observations. Future observations with next-generation facilities such as the SKA will be essential to explore fainter or sporadic emission from massive, magnetic WDs and to investigate their potential as compact radio transients further.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":774,"journal":{"name":"Science China Physics, Mechanics & Astronomy","volume":"68 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":7.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145256732","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"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}
