We present results of large-scale numerical simulations of the evolution of neutrino and antineutrino flavors in the region above the late-time post-supernova-explosion proto-neutron star. Our calculations are the first to allow explicit flavor evolution histories on different neutrino trajectories and to self-consistently couple flavor development on these trajectories through forward scattering-induced quantum entanglement. Employing the atmospheric-scale neutrino mass-squared difference and values of theta_13 allowed by current bounds, we find transformation of neutrino and antineutrino flavors over broad ranges of energy and luminosity in roughly the ``bi-polar'' collective mode. We find that this large-scale flavor conversion, largely driven by the flavor off-diagonal neutrino-neutrino forward scattering potential, sets in much closer to the proto-neutron star than simple estimates based on flavor-diagonal potentials and Mikeheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein evolution would indicate. In turn, this suggests that models of r-process nucleosynthesis sited in the neutrino-driven wind could be affected substantially by active-active neutrino flavor mixing, even with the small measured neutrino mass-squared differences.

  1. Neutrino-antineutrino superfluidity

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Pairing instabilities in neutrino plasmas arise only with occupation number discontinuities and are spurious artifacts of energy discretization that disappear in the continuum.

  2. Three-flavor supernova neutrino simulation using a hybrid quantum-classical algorithm with qutrits

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A hybrid qutrit-based algorithm simulates supernova neutrino flavor evolution and matches exact classical integration up to moderate times.

  3. Solar-System Abundances of $p$-Nuclides Probe Collective Neutrino Oscillations in Supernovae

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    Nearby neutrino flavor conversion in a supernova can boost νp-process yields of p-nuclides like 92Mo and 92Nb by up to two orders of magnitude, matching solar abundances when conversion starts within ~10 km of the pro...

  4. Single-wave solutions of the neutrino fast flavor system. Part II. Weak instabilities and their resonant behavior

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    For shallow angular crossings, the nonlinear evolution of a single-wave fast flavor instability is a flavor pendulum whose amplitude and period are set by the linear growth rate.

  5. Single-wave solutions of the neutrino fast flavor system. Part I. Mechanical properties

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0

    Single-wave neutrino flavor solutions form a non-integrable spin system without Gaudin invariants, so an exact flavor pendulum exists only for two beams and does not extend to continuous angle distributions.

  6. Bifurcated Impact of Neutrino Fast Flavor Conversion on Core-collapse Supernovae Informed by Multi-angle Neutrino Radiation Hydrodynamics

    astro-ph.HE 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Fast flavor conversion of neutrinos bifurcates supernova explosion outcomes: it aids shock revival in low-mass progenitors but inhibits it in higher-mass ones, controlled by mass accretion rate.
