Physical Layer Cyber Resilience Oriented Dynamic Secure Polar Code by Sifan Yao, Yu Dai, Gangtao Han, Zhiqing Tang, Dalong Zhang

“…Consequently, a dynamic secure polar code is proposed in this paper to improve the physical layer resilience of the non-degraded channels, in which a shared key is firstly used as a seed to produce a pseudo-random sequence that is further used to generate a dynamic generator matrix to obfuscate the coding structure. Then, a small amount of random column vectors are inserted into the generator matrix to destroy the systematicness of the code. …”

Dilute Paramagnetism and Non-Trivial Topology in Quasicrystal Approximant Fe₄Al₁₃ by Keenan E. Avers, Jarryd A. Horn, Ram Kumar, Shanta R. Saha, Peter Zavalij, Yuanfeng Xu, Bogdan Andrei Bernevig, Johnpierre Paglione

“…However, magnetization measurements portray an extremely unusual response for a dilute paramagnet and do not exhibit the characteristic Curie behavior expected for a weakly interacting material at high temperature. Electronic structure calculations confirm metallic behavior but also indicate that each isolated band near the Fermi energy hosts non-trivial topologies, including strong, weak, and nodal components, with resultant topological surface states distinguishable from bulk states on the (001) surface. …”
