Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Tim Fuchs, David Gross, Felix Krahmer, Richard Kueng, Dustin G. Mixon | Summary: Given an arbitrary matrix $Ainmathbb{R}^{ntimes n}$, we consider the fundamental problem of computing $Ax$ for any $xinmathbb{R}^n$ such that $Ax$ is $s$-sparse. While fast algorithms exist for particular choices of $A$, such as the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Kai Klocke, Joel E. Moore, Jason Alicea, Gábor B. Halász, | Summary: Recent theoretical studies inspired by experiments on the Kitaev magnet $alpha$-RuCl$_3$ highlight the nontrivial impact of phonons on the thermal Hall conductivity of chiral topological phases. Here we introduce mixed mesoscopic-macroscopic devices that allow […]
Kavli Affiliate: Eiichiro Komatsu | First 5 Authors: Ira Wolfson, Azadeh Maleknejad, Tomoaki Murata, Eiichiro Komatsu, Tsutomu Kobayashi | Summary: SU(2) gauge fields coupled to an axion field can acquire an isotropic background solution during inflation. We study homogeneous but anisotropic inflationary solutions in the presence of such (massless) gauge fields. A gauge field in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Erin Kara, Missagh Mehdipour, Gerard A. Kriss, Edward M. Cackett, Nahum Arav | Summary: We present the first results from the ongoing, intensive, multi-wavelength monitoring program of the luminous Seyfert 1 galaxy Mrk 817. While this AGN was, in part, selected for its historically unobscured nature, we […]
Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Martin Greiter, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: We propose an exact model of anyon ground states including higher Landau levels, and use it to obtain fractionally quantized Hall states at filling fractions $nu=p/(p(m-1)+1)$ with $m$ odd, from integer Hall states at $nu=p$ through adiabatic localization of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Kunimoto Komatsu, Hirokazu Ishino, Nobuhiko Katayama, Tomotake Matsumura, Yuki Sakurai | Summary: Pancharatnam-based achromatic half-wave plates (AHWP) achieve high polarization efficiency over a broad waveband. These AWHPs generally contain a property whereby the optic axis is dependent on the electromagnetic frequency of the incident radiation. When the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Gavin G. G. King, Peter S. Barnett, John G. Bartholomew, Andrei Faraon, Jevon J. Longdell | Summary: Raman heterodyne spectroscopy is a powerful tool for characterizing the energy and dynamics of spins. The technique uses an optical pump to transfer coherence from a spin transition to an […]
