Characterization of Skipper CCDs for Cosmological Applications

Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | First 5 Authors: Alex Drlica-Wagner, Edgar Marrufo Villalpando, Judah O’Neil, Juan Estrada, Stephen Holland | Summary: We characterize the response of a novel 250 $mu$m thick, fully-depleted Skipper Charged-Coupled Device (CCD) to visible/near-infrared light with a focus on potential applications for astronomical observations. We achieve stable, single-electron resolution with readout […]

An Information Paradox and Its Resolution in de Sitter Holography

Kavli Affiliate: Yasunori Nomura | First 5 Authors: Hao Geng, Yasunori Nomura, Hao-Yu Sun, , | Summary: We formulate a version of the information paradox in de Sitter spacetime and show that it is solved by the emergence of entanglement islands in the context of the DS/dS correspondence; in particular, the entanglement entropy of a […]

Universal scaling for disordered viscoelastic matter near the onset of rigidity

Kavli Affiliate: Itai Cohen | First 5 Authors: Danilo B. Liarte, Stephen J. Thornton, Eric Schwen, Itai Cohen, Debanjan Chowdhury | Summary: The onset of rigidity in interacting liquids, as they undergo a transition to a disordered solid, is associated with a rearrangement of the low-frequency vibrational spectrum. In this letter, we derive scaling forms […]

Four-Spin Terms and the Origin of the Chiral Spin Liquid in Mott Insulators on the Triangular Lattice

Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Tessa Cookmeyer, Johannes Motruk, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: At strong repulsion, the triangular-lattice Hubbard model is described by $s=1/2$ spins with nearest-neighbor antiferromagnetic Heisenberg interactions and exhibits conventional 120$^circ$ order. Using the infinite density matrix renormalization group and exact diagonalization, we study the effect […]
