Kavli Affiliate: Peter G. Ford | First 5 Authors: Catherine E. Grant, Mark W. Bautz, Peter G. Ford, Paul P. Plucinsky, | Summary: As the Advanced CCD Imaging Spectrometer (ACIS) on the Chandra X-ray Observatory enters its fifteenth year of operation on orbit, it continues to perform well and produce spectacular scientific results. The response […]
Kavli Affiliate: Chao-Lin Kuo | First 5 Authors: Z. Ahmed, J. A. Grayson, K. L. Thompson, C. L. Kuo, G. Brooks | Summary: Ground-based millimeter and sub-millimeter telescopes are attempting to image the sky with ever-larger cryogenically-cooled bolometer arrays, but face challenges in mitigating the infrared loading accompanying large apertures. Absorptive infrared filters supported by […]
Kavli Affiliate: Steven Kahn | First 5 Authors: Andrew Rasmussen, Pierre Antilogus, Pierre Astier, Chuck Claver, Peter Doherty | Summary: Near-future astronomical survey experiments, such as LSST, possess system requirements of unprecedented fidelity that span photometry, astrometry and shape transfer. Some of these requirements flow directly to the array of science imaging sensors at the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Alireza Marandi, Zhe Wang, Kenta Takata, Robert L. Byer, Yoshihisa Yamamoto | Summary: Finding the ground states of the Ising Hamiltonian [1] maps to various combinatorial optimization problems in biology, medicine, wireless communications, artificial intelligence, and social network. So far no efficient classical and quantum algorithm is […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kentaro Hori | First 5 Authors: Kentaro Hori, Heeyeon Kim, Piljin Yi, , | Summary: We compute the Witten index of one-dimensional gauged linear sigma models with at least ${mathcal N}=2$ supersymmetry. In the phase where the gauge group is broken to a finite group, the index is expressed as a certain residue […]
