The Quijote simulations are a set of 44,100 full N-body simulations spanning more than 7,000 cosmological models in the $\{\Omega_{\rm m}, \Omega_{\rm b}, h, n_s, \sigma_8, M_\nu, w \}$ hyperplane. At a single redshift the simulations contain more than 8.5 trillions of particles over a combined volume of 44,100 $(h^{-1}{\rm Gpc})^3$; each simulation follow the evolution of $256^3$, $512^3$ or $1024^3$ particles in a box of $1~h^{-1}{\rm Gpc}$ length. Billions of dark matter halos and cosmic voids have been identified in the simulations, whose runs required more than 35 million core hours. The Quijote simulations have been designed for two main purposes: 1) to quantify the information content on cosmological observables, and 2) to provide enough data to train machine learning algorithms. In this paper we describe the simulations and show a few of their applications. We also release the Petabyte of data generated, comprising hundreds of thousands of simulation snapshots at multiple redshifts, halo and void catalogs, together with millions of summary statistics such as power spectra, bispectra, correlation functions, marked power spectra, and estimated probability density functions.

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    First observational detection of the moving lens effect via cross-correlation of ACT CMB temperature with DESI galaxies, yielding amplitude b_ML = 1.24 ± 0.26 at 4.8σ consistent with halo-model prediction.

  2. Augmented Correlation Functions for Spectroscopic Galaxy Surveys

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Augmented correlation functions extend the two-point correlation function with latent dimensions derived from the galaxy field to isolate additional clustering information in spectroscopic surveys.

  3. Field-level multi-tracers simulation-based inference of cosmological parameters from 3D maps

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The work demonstrates that multi-tracer field-level SBI on galaxy and HI maps yields 2-7 times better constraints on Omega_m and sigma_8 than single-tracer or summary-statistic approaches, with 3D maps performing best.

  4. No evidence for parity violation in BOSS

    astro-ph.CO 2024-07 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    New statistics applied to BOSS data show the reported parity violation signal is consistent with zero after accounting for eight-point correlation function mismatch between data and mocks.

  7. Quantifying Weighted Morphological Content of Large-Scale Structures via Simulation-Based Inference

    astro-ph.CO 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Simulation-based inference on Big Sobol Sequence halos at z=0.5 shows CMD+MFs improves σ8 and Ωm precision by ~27% over MFs alone and outperforms PS by ~45% in mass-selected samples at matched scales.

  8. Cosmological Analysis with Calibrated Neural Quantile Estimation and Approximate Simulators

    astro-ph.CO 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0

  9. Counting voids and filaments: Betti Curves as a Powerful Probe for Cosmology

    astro-ph.CO 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Betti curves from persistent homology of large-scale structure provide complementary cosmological constraints on ns, sigma8, and Om, with tighter bounds when analyzed jointly with the power spectrum.
