Systematic Phase Curve Study of Known Transiting Systems from Year 1 of the TESS Mission

Kavli Affiliate: Robert F. Goeke | First 5 Authors: Ian Wong, Avi Shporer, Tansu Daylan, Björn Benneke, Tara Fetherolf | Summary: We present a systematic phase curve analysis of known transiting systems observed by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) during year one of the primary mission. Using theoretical predictions for the amplitude of the […]

Extent of Fermi-surface reconstruction in the high-temperature superconductor HgBa$_2$CuO$_{4+δ}$

Kavli Affiliate: Brad J. Ramshaw | First 5 Authors: Mun K. Chan, Ross D. McDonald, Brad J. Ramshaw, Jon B. Betts, Arkady Shekhter | Summary: High magnetic fields have revealed a surprisingly small Fermi-surface in underdoped cuprates, possibly resulting from Fermi-surface reconstruction due to an order parameter that breaks translational symmetry of the crystal lattice. […]

Lagrangian Neural Networks

Kavli Affiliate: David Spergel | First 5 Authors: Miles Cranmer, Sam Greydanus, Stephan Hoyer, Peter Battaglia, David Spergel | Summary: Accurate models of the world are built upon notions of its underlying symmetries. In physics, these symmetries correspond to conservation laws, such as for energy and momentum. Yet even though neural network models see increasing […]

Enhancing a Near-Term Quantum Accelerator’s Instruction Set Architecture for Materials Science Applications

Kavli Affiliate: Leonardo Dicarlo | First 5 Authors: Xiang Zou, Shavindra P. Premaratne, M. Adriaan Rol, Sonika Johri, Viacheslav Ostroukh | Summary: Quantum computers with tens to hundreds of noisy qubits are being developed today. To be useful for real-world applications, we believe that these near-term systems cannot simply be scaled-down non-error-corrected versions of future […]

NuSTAR and Chandra Observation of the Galactic Center Non-thermal X-ray Filament G0.13-0.11: A Pulsar Wind Nebula Driven Magnetic Filament

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj Pasham | First 5 Authors: Shuo Zhang, Zhenlin Zhu, Hui Li, Dheeraj Pasham, Zhiyuan Li | Summary: One of the most unique phenomena in the Galactic center region is the existence of numerous long and narrow filamentary structures within a few hundred parsecs of Sgr A$^{star}$. While more than one than one […]

Scaling down an insect-size microrobot, HAMR-VI into HAMR-Jr

Kavli Affiliate: Robert J. Wood | First 5 Authors: Kaushik Jayaram, Jennifer Shum, Samantha Castellanos, E. Farrell Helbling, Robert J. Wood | Summary: Here we present HAMR-Jr, a SI{22.5}{millimeter}, SI{320}{milligram} quadrupedal microrobot. With eight independently actuated degrees of freedom, HAMR-Jr is, to our knowledge, the most mechanically dexterous legged robot at its scale and is […]

Twist Gap and Global Symmetry in Two Dimensions

Kavli Affiliate: Hirosi Ooguri | First 5 Authors: Nathan Benjamin, Hirosi Ooguri, Shu-Heng Shao, Yifan Wang, | Summary: We show that every compact, unitary two-dimensional CFT with an abelian conserved current has vanishing twist gap for charged primary fields with respect to the $mathfrak{u}(1)times$Virasoro algebra. This means that either the chiral algebra is enhanced by […]
