Social physics
Based on the number of ideas laid out, but also on the fact that the field is already too big for an exhaustive review despite our best efforts, we are forced to conclude that the future for social physics is bright.

Tests of lepton universality using $B^0\to K^0_S \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B^+\to K^{*+} \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays
Tests of lepton universality in $B^0\to K^0_S \ell^+ \ell^-$ and $B^+\to K^{*+} \ell^+ \ell^-$ decays where $\ell$ is either an electron or a muon are presented.

The QICK (Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit): Readout and control for qubits and detectors
We introduce a Xilinx RFSoC-based qubit controller (called the Quantum Instrumentation Control Kit, or QICK for short) which supports the direct synthesis of control pulses with carrier frequencies of up to 6 GHz.

What is the Gravitational Field of a Mass in a Spatially Nonlocal Quantum Superposition?
One question to be answered is whether the gravitational field behaves as the classical superposition of two particles separated by a spatial distance with half the mass located at each position or as a quantum superposition with a far more interesting and subtle behaviour for the gravitational field.

Parameterising continuum level Li-ion battery models & the LiionDB database
The Doyle-Fuller-Newman framework is the most popular physics-based continuum-level description of the chemical and dynamical internal processes within operating lithium-ion-battery cells.

Rubric-based holistic review: a promising route to equitable graduate admissions in physics
The rubric assessed applicants on 18 metrics covering their grades, test scores, research experiences, noncognitive competencies, and fit with the program.

Provably accurate simulation of gauge theories and bosonic systems
We establish a lower bound showing that there are systems involving bosons for which this quadratic scaling with time cannot be improved.

Resource theory of quantum uncomplexity
The greater a state's distance from maximal complexity, or ``uncomplexity,'' the more useful the state is as input to a quantum computation.

Low-overhead fault-tolerant quantum computing using long-range connectivity
Vast numbers of qubits will be needed for large-scale quantum computing using today's fault-tolerant architectures due to the overheads associated with quantum error correction.
