Full parity phase diagram of a proximitized nanowire island

Kavli Affiliate: L. P. Kouwenhoven | First 5 Authors: J. Shen, G. W. Winkler, F. Borsoi, S. Heedt, V. Levajac | Summary: We measure the charge periodicity of Coulomb blockade conductance oscillations of a hybrid InSb-Al island as a function of gate voltage and parallel magnetic field. The periodicity changes from $2e$ to $1e$ at […]

Discovery of A candidate Hypervelocity star originated from the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal galaxy

Kavli Affiliate: Huawei Zhang | First 5 Authors: Yang Huang, Qingzheng Li, Huawei Zhang, Xinyi Li, Weixiang Sun | Summary: In this letter, we report the discovery of an intriguing HVS (J1443+1453) candidate that is probably from the Sagittarius Dwarf Spheroidal galaxy (Sgr dSph). The star is an old and very metal-poor low-mass main-sequence turn-off […]

Observational Evidence for Enhanced Black Hole Accretion in Giant Elliptical Galaxies

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Michael McDonald, Brian R. McNamara, Michael S. Calzadilla, Chien-Ting Chen, Massimo Gaspari | Summary: We present a study of the relationship between black hole accretion rate (BHAR) and star formation rate (SFR) in a sample of giant elliptical galaxies. These galaxies, which live at the centers of […]

Initial Design of a W-band Superconducting Kinetic Inductance Qubit (Kineticon)

Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | First 5 Authors: Farzad B. Faramarzi, Peter K. Day, Jacob Glasby, Sasha Sypkens, Marco Colangelo | Summary: Superconducting qubits are widely used in quantum computing research and industry. We describe a superconducting kinetic inductance qubit (and introduce the term Kineticon to describe it) operating at W-band frequencies with a nonlinear […]

Bloch-Lorentz magnetoresistance oscillations in delafossites

Kavli Affiliate: Anton Akhmerov | First 5 Authors: Kostas Vilkelis, Lin Wang, Anton Akhmerov, , | Summary: Recent measurements of the out-of-plane magnetoresistance of delafossites (PdCoO$_2$ and PtCoO$_2$) observed oscillations closely resembling the Aharonov-Bohm effect. Here, we show that the magnetoresistance oscillations are explained by the Bloch-like oscillations of the out-of-plane electron trajectories. We develop […]
