Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Christopher Chamberland, Kyungjoo Noh, Patricio Arrangoiz-Arriola, Earl T. Campbell, Connor T. Hann | Summary: We present a comprehensive architectural analysis for a proposed fault-tolerant quantum computer based on cat codes concatenated with outer quantum error-correcting codes. For the physical hardware, we propose a system of acoustic resonators […]

Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Qingjuan Yu, , , , | Summary: This is an invited commentary on the Nobel Prize in Physics 2020 which was awarded to Roger Penrose "for the discovery that black hole formation is a robust prediction of the general theory of relativity," and Reinhard Genzel and Andrea […]
Kavli Affiliate: Qingjuan Yu | First 5 Authors: Yunfeng Chen, Qingjuan Yu, Youjun Lu, , | Summary: Stars can be consumed (either tidally disrupted or swallowed whole) by massive black holes (MBHs) at galactic centers when they move into the vicinity of the MBHs. In this study, we investigate the rates of stellar consumption by […]
Kavli Affiliate: David Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Evan D. Hall, Kevin Kuns, Joshua R. Smith, Yuntao Bai, Christopher Wipf | Summary: Cosmic Explorer (CE) is a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory concept, envisioned to begin operation in the 2030s, and expected to be capable of observing binary neutron star and black hole mergers back to […]
