Weight-Space Physics: Interpretable Hypernetworks for Lattice Quantum Field Theories

arXiv:2607. 07127v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Lattice field theory is the workhorse of non-perturbative physics, used to simulate phenomena from the strong nuclear force to critical phenomena in materials.

Explainable quantum-compressed machine learning for complex fluid flows

arXiv:2607. 21688v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Machine-learning surrogates of physical systems face a paradox: explainable models facing the challenge of expressivity to capture complex nonlinear flows, whereas expressive deep surrogates match high-fidelity simulations only through massive parameterisations that turn the learned dynamics into a black box.

Factorizable Normalizing Flows for parameter-dependent density morphing

arXiv:2606. 30489v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Normalizing Flows excel at modeling a single fixed density, yet many problems across the sciences, such as high energy physics, instead require modeling how that density deforms as a function of continuous parameters: the strength of a physical effect, a calibration constant, or a source of systematic uncertainty.

Sparse probes and murky physics: a case study of interpretability challenges in a foundation model for continuum dynamics

Generative AI emulators are increasingly used in scientific domains where we already have strong theory, benchmarks, and physical intuition. This raises a central evaluation and interpretability question: when a foundation-style model can reproduce known continuum dynamics, what internal mechanism supports that behavior, is the internal behaviour consistent with known physics, and how does it relate to where the emulator succeeds or fails?

Mechanistic Interpretability and Causal Feature Steering of Neural Quantum States via Sparse Autoencoders

arXiv:2607. 01336v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Neural Quantum States (NQS) are a remarkably expressive class of variational ans\"atze for quantum many-body wavefunctions, yet little is understood about their internal mechanisms: trained on variational objectives alone, how do NQS accurately capture physical observables that they have never been explicitly optimized for?

Revisiting the Volume Hypothesis

arXiv:2606. 31282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Modern deep neural networks often contain far more parameters than needed to fit their training data, yet they achieve impressive generalization.

Towards a Physics Foundation Model

arXiv:2509. 13805v4 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Foundation models have revolutionized natural language processing through a ``train once, deploy anywhere'' paradigm, where a single pre-trained model adapts to countless downstream tasks without retraining.
