Dedalus: A flexible framework for numerical simulations with spectral methods

Keaton J. Burns, Geoffrey M. Vasil, Jeffrey S. Oishi et al. · 23 Apr 2020

This paper describes Dedalus, an open-source Python code for simulating partial differential equations from all areas of physics. Dedalus translates plain-text equations into efficient and parallelized solvers using global spectral methods. Here the authors detail the numerical methods enabling this translation and describe the code's design and implementation. They also illustrate its capabilities with diverse…

<i>Ab initio</i> solution of the many-electron Schrödinger equation with deep neural networks

David Pfau, James S. Spencer, Alexander G. D. G. Matthews et al. · 16 Sep 2020

Given access to accurate solutions of the many-electron Schrdinger equation, nearly all chemistry could be derived from first principles. Exact wave functions of interesting chemical systems are out of reach because they are NP-hard to compute in general, but approximations can be found using polynomially scaling algorithms.

Reciprocal skin effect and its realization in a topolectrical circuit

Tobias Hofmann, Tobias Helbig, Frank Schindler et al. · 2 Jun 2020

This work explores a non-Hermitian system displaying a reciprocal variant of the skin effect, which is characterized by an extensive anomalous localization of all Hamiltonian eigenmodes in a one-dimensional geometry. The authors experimentally demonstrate the reciprocal skin effect in a passive RLC circuit and suggest alternative implementations in optical, acoustic, mechanical, and related platforms.

Continuous-variable quantum neural networks

Nathan Killoran, Thomas R. Bromley, Juan Miguel Arrazola et al. · 31 Oct 2019

Neural networks and quantum computers are both key technologies for the next generation of computing. This paper demonstrates that these two types of computation can be executed with the same physical platform, based on photonics. This provides a natural extension of classical machine learning algorithms into the quantum realm.

Physical Review Research template — frequently asked questions

How do I write a paper in the Physical Review Research format?
In DocuGuru you write your manuscript in a normal editor — no LaTeX setup required — and select the Physical Review Research template. When you export, DocuGuru compiles the paper into the official American Physical Society format and hands you a submission-ready PDF along with the editable LaTeX source.
What reference style does Physical Review Research use?
Physical Review Research uses Numbered (APS) references, shown as numbered [1], [2] markers in the text. DocuGuru formats every in-text citation and the reference list in this exact style automatically. A reference appears like this: [1] A. Smith, B. Jones, and C. Lee, Physical Review Research 12, 45 (2023).
Do I need to know LaTeX to submit to Physical Review Research?
No. DocuGuru generates the revtex4-2 LaTeX class and compiles the PDF for you in the background, so you get a American Physical Society-ready Physical Review Research document without writing any LaTeX. If you do want it, the LaTeX source is included in the export.
Can I import an existing draft into the Physical Review Research template?
Yes. Paste or upload your current manuscript — Word, LaTeX, Markdown, or plain text — and DocuGuru reflows it into the Physical Review Research format with correct headings, figures, tables, and numbered citations.
What is Physical Review Research?
American Physical Society journal (REVTeX 4.2). It is a physics journal, published by American Physical Society.
Can I export a submission-ready Physical Review Research PDF?
Yes — DocuGuru produces a PDF built with the official Physical Review Research template (the revtex4-2 class) that is ready to submit to American Physical Society, together with the matching LaTeX source files.
How much does the Physical Review Research template cost?
You can start writing in the Physical Review Research template for free. Exporting the final submission-ready Physical Review Research PDF and LaTeX source is part of DocuGuru's paid plans — see the app for current pricing.
