Various physical systems relax mechanical frustration through configurational rearrangements. We examine such rearrangements via Hamiltonian dynamics of simple internally stressed harmonic four-mass systems. We demonstrate theoretically and numerically how mechanical frustration controls the underlying potential energy landscape. Then, we examine the harmonic four-mass systems' Hamiltonian dynamics and relate the onset of chaotic motion to self-driven rearrangements. We show such configurational dynamics may occur without strong precursors, rendering such dynamics seemingly spontaneous.

Formulating order metrics that sensitively quantify the degree of order/disorder in many-particle systems in d-dimensional Euclidean space Rd across length scales is an outstanding challenge in physics, chemistry, and materials science. Since an infinite set of n-particle correlation functions is required to fully characterize a system, one must settle for a reduced set of structural information, in practice. We initiate a program to use the local number variance σN2(R) associated with a spherical sampling window of radius R (which encodes pair correlations) and an integral measure derived from it ΣN(Ri,Rj) that depends on two specified radial distances Ri and Rj. Across the first three space dimensions (d=1,2,3), we find these metrics can sensitively describe and categorize the degree of order/disorder of 41 different models of antihyperuniform, nonhyperuniform, disordered hyperuniform, and ordered hyperuniform many-particle systems at a specified length scale R. Using our local variance metrics, we demonstrate the importance of assessing order/disorder with respect to a specific value of R. These local order metrics could also aid in the inverse design of structures with prescribed length-scale-specific degrees of order/disorder that yield desired physical properties. In future work, it would be fruitful to explore the use of higher-order moments of the number of points within a spherical window of radius R [S. Torquato et al., Phys. Rev. X 11, 021028 (2021)] to devise even more sensitive order metrics.

We propose a new deformation of the quantum harmonic oscillator Heisenberg–Weyl algebra with a parameter $$a>-1$$ . This parameter is introduced through the replacement of the homogeneous mass $$m_0$$ in the definition of the momentum operator $$\hat{p}_x$$ as well as in the creation–annihilation operators $${\hat{a}}^\pm$$ with a mass varying with position x. The realization of such a deformation is shown through the exact solution of the corresponding Schrödinger equation for the non-relativistic quantum harmonic oscillator within the canonical approach. The obtained analytical expression of the energy spectrum consists of an infinite number of equidistant levels, whereas the wavefunctions of the stationary states of the problem under construction are expressed through the Hermite polynomials. Then, the Heisenberg–Weyl algebra deformation is generalized to the case of the Lie superalgebra $$\mathfrak {osp}\left( {1|2} \right)$$ . It is shown that the realization of such a generalized superalgebra can be performed for the parabose quantum harmonic oscillator problem, the mass of which possesses a behavior completely overlapping with the position-dependent mass of the canonically deformed harmonic oscillator problem. This problem is solved exactly for both even and odd stationary states. It is shown that the energy spectrum of the deformed parabose oscillator is still equidistant; however, both even- and odd-state wavefunctions are now expressed through the Laguerre polynomials. Some basic limit relations recovering the canonical harmonic oscillator with constant mass are also discussed briefly.

Machine learning (ML) methods are having a huge impact across all of the sciences. However, ML has a strong ontology-in which only the data exist-and a strong epistemology-in which a model is considered good if it performs well on held-out training data. These philosophies are in strong conflict with both standard practices and key philosophies in the natural sciences. Here we identify some locations for ML in the natural sciences at which the ontology and epistemology are valuable. For example, when an expressive machine learning model is used in a causal inference to represent the effects of confounders, such as foregrounds, backgrounds, or instrument calibration parameters, the model capacity and loose philosophy of ML can make the results more trustworthy. We also show that there are contexts in which the introduction of ML introduces strong, unwanted statistical biases. For one, when ML models are used to emulate physical (or first-principles) simulations, they amplify confirmation biases. For another, when expressive regressions are used to label datasets, those labels cannot be used in downstream joint or ensemble analyses without taking on uncontrolled biases. The question in the title is being asked of all of the natural sciences;that is, we are calling on the scientific communities to take a step back and consider the role and value of ML in their fields;the (partial) answers we give here come from the particular perspective of physics.

In this paper, the problem of cubature Kalman fusion filtering(CKFF) is addressed for multi-sensor systems under amplify-and-forward(AaF) relays. For the purpose of facilitating data transmission, AaF relays are utilized to regulate signal communication between sensors and filters. Here, the randomly varying channel parameters are represented by a set of stochastic variables whose occurring probabilities are permitted to exhibit bounded uncertainty. Employing the spherical-radial cubature principle, a local filter under AaF relays is initially constructed. This construction ensures and minimizes an upper bound of the filtering error covariance by designing an appropriate filter gain. Subsequently, the local filters are fused through the application of the covariance intersection fusion rule. Furthermore, the uniform boundedness of the filtering error covariance's upper bound is investigated through establishing certain sufficient conditions. The effectiveness of the proposed CKFF scheme is ultimately validated via a simulation experiment concentrating on a three-phase induction machine.

Generative AI has emerged as a transformative tool in the realm of higher education, offering a wealth of opportunities for personalized learning, automated feedback, and enhanced collaboration. However, its successful adoption within university environments is significantly dependent on the trust it earns from its users, particularly students. This study investigates the levels of trust and the adoption of Generative AI among students enrolled in both German and international study programs at Hochschule Bielefeld (HSBI) and its transnational partner, Hainan Bielefeld University of appliedsciences (BiUH). Utilizing a comprehensive questionnaire, the research explores students' perceptions of the trustworthiness of Generative AI, their usage patterns, and their concerns regarding the ethical and academic implications of its use. Preliminary findings suggest that while students widely recognize the potential of Generative AI to improve learning outcomes and efficiency, the degree of trust in its reliability and fairness varies significantly. Key factors influencing this trust include the transparency of AI systems, the perceived accuracy of outputs, and concerns about bias and misuse. Students in international and cross-cultural programs face additional challenges, such as language barriers and cultural differences, which affect how AI is perceived and utilized. Ethical concerns, particularly regarding plagiarism and academic integrity, are prevalent across all groups, underscoring the need for clear institutional guidelines and policies. The findings highlight the importance of fostering AI literacy and providing support structures to build trust and encourage responsible use. Recommendations include the implementation of transparent AI tools, tailored training programs, and the development of ethical guidelines to ensure that Generative AI enhances education while upholding academic standards. This research provides actionable insights for universities aiming to i
