Principles of Low Dissipation Computing from a Stochastic Circuit Model

Kavli Affiliate: David T. Limmer | First 5 Authors: Chloe Ya Gao, David T. Limmer, , , | Summary: We introduce a thermodynamically consistent, minimal stochastic model for complementary logic gates built with field-effect transistors. We characterize the performance of such gates with tools from information theory and study the interplay between accuracy, speed, and […]

Approaching the motional ground state of a 10 kg object

Kavli Affiliate: Nergis Mavalvala | First 5 Authors: Chris Whittle, Evan D. Hall, Sheila Dwyer, Nergis Mavalvala, Vivishek Sudhir | Summary: The motion of a mechanical object — even a human-sized object — should be governed by the rules of quantum mechanics. Coaxing them into a quantum state is, however, difficult: the thermal environment masks […]

Discovery of Candidate X-ray Jets in High-Redshift Quasars

Kavli Affiliate: Herman L. Marshall | First 5 Authors: Bradford Snios, Daniel A. Schwartz, Aneta Siemiginowska, MaƂgosia Sobolewska, Mark Birkinshaw | Summary: We present Chandra X-ray observations of 14 radio-loud quasars at redshifts $3 < z < 4$, selected from a well-defined sample. All quasars are detected in the 0.5-7.0 keV energy band, and resolved […]
