Kavli Affiliate: Ya M. Blanter | First 5 Authors: J. D. P. Machado, R. J. Slooter, Ya. M. Blanter, , | Summary: We analyze quantum effects occurring in optomechanical systems where the coupling between an optical mode and a mechanical mode is quadratic in displacement (membrane-in-the-middle geometry). We show that it is possible to observe […]
Kavli Affiliate: Bruce A. Macintosh | First 5 Authors: Alexander Madurowicz, Bruce A. Macintosh, Jean-Baptiste Ruffio, Jeffery Chilcote, Vanessa P. Bailey | Summary: A semi analytic framework for simulating the effects of atmospheric seeing in Adaptive Optics systems on an 8-m telescope is developed with the intention of understanding the origin of the wind-butterfly, a […]
Kavli Affiliate: Kentaro Hori | First 5 Authors: Daichi Takane, Seigo Souma, Kosuke Nakayama, Takechika Nakamura, Hikaru Oinuma | Summary: We have performed angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy of AlB2 which is isostructural to high-temperature superconductor MgB2. Using soft-x-ray photons, we accurately determined the three-dimensional bulk band structure and found a highly anisotropic Dirac-cone band at the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Hartz | First 5 Authors: Yoshi Uchida, Mark Hartz, R. Phillip Litchfield, Callum Wilkinson, Asher Kaboth | Summary: The presentations, discussions and findings from the inaugural `PhyStat-$nu$’ workshop held at the Kavli Institute for the Physics and Mathematics of the Universe (IPMU) near Tokyo in 2016 are described. PhyStat-$nu$ was the first […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brad Ramshaw | First 5 Authors: Laurel E Winter, Arkady Shekhter, Brad Ramshaw, Ryan E. Baumbach, Eric D. Bauer | Summary: Quantum materials are epitomized by the influence of collective modes upon their macroscopic properties. Relatively few examples exist, however, whereby coherence of the ground-state wavefunction directly contributes to the conductivity. Notable examples […]
Kavli Affiliate: Paul Brink | First 5 Authors: Robert Agnese, Taylor Aralis, Tsuguo Aramaki, Isaac Arnquist, Elham Azadbakht | Summary: The Super Cryogenic Dark Matter Search experiment (SuperCDMS) at the Soudan Underground Laboratory studied energy loss associated with Frenkel defect formation in germanium crystals at mK temperatures using in situ $^{210}$Pb sources. We examine the […]

Kavli Affiliate: Ya M. Blanter | First 5 Authors: J. D. P. Machado, Ya. M. Blanter, , , | Summary: Sideband asymmetry in cavity optomechanics has been explained by particle creation and annihilation processes, which bestow an amplitude proportional to ‘n+1’ and ‘n’ excitations to each of the respective sidebands. We discuss the issues with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak M. Parpia | First 5 Authors: Lev V. Levitin, Ben Yager, Laura Sumner, Brian Cowan, Andrew J. Casey | Summary: In superfluid $^3$He-B confined in a slab geometry, domain walls between regions of different order parameter orientation are predicted to be energetically stable. Formation of the spatially-modulated superfluid stripe phase has been […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Hills | First 5 Authors: Richard Hills, Girish Kulkarni, P. Daniel Meerburg, Ewald Puchwein, | Summary: It is predicted that the spectrum of radio emission from the whole sky should show a dip arising from the action of the light from the first stars on the hydrogen atoms in the surrounding gas, […]
