Small-area Population Forecast in a Segregated City using Density-Functional Fluctuation Theory

Posted by klaurent Cornell

Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Yuchao Chen, Yunus A. Kinkhabwala, Boris Barron, Matthew Hall, Tomas A. Arias | Summary: Decisions regarding housing, transportation, and resource allocation would all benefit from accurate small-area population forecasts. While various tried-and-tested forecast methods exist at regional scales, developing an accurate neighborhood-scale forecast remains a challenge partly […]

Demonstration of an amplitude filter cavity at gravitational-wave frequencies

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Lisa Barsotti | Summary:Quantum vacuum fluctuations fundamentally limit the precision of optical measurements, such as those in gravitational-wave detectors. Injection of conventional squeezed vacuum can be used to reduce quantum noise in the readout quadrature, but this reduction is at the cost of increasing noise in the orthogonal quadrature. For detectors near the […]

Optimal detuning for quantum filter cavities

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Lisa Barsotti | First 5 Authors: Chris Whittle, Kentaro Komori, Dhruva Ganapathy, Lee McCuller, Lisa Barsotti | Summary: Vacuum quantum fluctuations impose a fundamental limit on the sensitivity of gravitational-wave interferometers, which rank among the most sensitive precision measurement devices ever built. The injection of conventional squeezed vacuum reduces quantum noise in one […]

Mechanical Quantum Sensing in the Search for Dark Matter

Posted by klaurent Chicago

Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Daniel Carney, Gordan Krnjaic, David C. Moore, Cindy A. Regal, Gadi Afek | Summary: Numerous astrophysical and cosmological observations are best explained by the existence of dark matter, a mass density which interacts only very weakly with visible, baryonic matter. Searching for the extremely weak signals […]

Low Energy Spread Attosecond Bunching and Coherent Electron Acceleration in Dielectric Nanostructures

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Byer | Summary:We demonstrate a compact technique to compress electron pulses to attosecond length, while keeping the energy spread reasonably small. The technique is based on Dielectric Laser Acceleration (DLA) in nanophotonic silicon structures. Unlike previous ballistic optical microbunching demonstrations, we use a modulator-demodulator scheme to compress phase space in the time […]
