Ladder Symmetries of Black Holes: Implications for Love Numbers and No-Hair Theorems

Kavli Affiliate: Austin Joyce | First 5 Authors: Lam Hui, Austin Joyce, Riccardo Penco, Luca Santoni, Adam R. Solomon | Summary: It is well known that asymptotically flat black holes in general relativity have a vanishing static, conservative tidal response. We show that this is a result of linearly realized symmetries governing static (spin 0,1,2) […]

Continuous measurement of a qudit using dispersively coupled radiation

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: John Steinmetz, Debmalya Das, Irfan Siddiqi, Andrew N. Jordan, | Summary: We analyze the continuous monitoring of a qudit coupled to a cavity using both phase-preserving and phase-sensitive amplification. The quantum trajectories of the system are described by a stochastic master equation, for which we derive the […]
