Kavli Affiliate: Peter Fritschel | First 5 Authors: Varun Srivastava, Georgia Mansell, Camille Makarem, Minkyun Noh, Richard Abbott | Summary: The detectors of the laser interferometer gravitational-wave observatory (LIGO) are broadly limited by the quantum noise and rely on the injection of squeezed states of light to achieve their full sensitivity. Squeezing improvement is limited […]
Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: BICEP/Keck Collaboration, :, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri | Summary: We present results from an analysis of all data taken by the BICEP2, Keck Array and BICEP3 CMB polarization experiments up to and including the 2018 observing season. We add additional Keck Array […]
Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: BICEP/Keck Collaboration, :, P. A. R. Ade, Z. Ahmed, M. Amiri | Summary: We report on the design and performance of the BICEP3 instrument and its first three-year data set collected from 2016 to 2018. BICEP3 is a 52cm aperture, refracting telescope designed to observe the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Zhichao Carton Zeng, Annika H. G. Peter, Xiaolong Du, Andrew Benson, Stacy Kim | Summary: Self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) cosmologies admit an enormous diversity of dark matter (DM) halo density profiles, from low-density cores to high-density core-collapsed cusps. The possibility of the growth of high central density […]
Kavli Affiliate: Menno Veldhorst | First 5 Authors: Jelmer M. Boter, Juan P. Dehollain, Jeroen P. G. van Dijk, Yuanxing Xu, Toivo Hensgens | Summary: One of the main bottlenecks in the pursuit of a large-scale–chip-based quantum computer is the large number of control signals needed to operate qubit systems. As system sizes scale up, […]
