Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Aaron Smith, Rahul Kannan, Sandro Tacchella, Mark Vogelsberger, Lars Hernquist | Summary: Hydrogen emission lines can provide extensive information about star-forming galaxies in both the local and high-redshift Universe. We present a detailed Lyman continuum (LyC), Lyman-alpha (Ly{alpha}), and Balmer line (H{alpha} and Hb{eta}) radiative transfer study […]
Kavli Affiliate: Salvatore Vitale | First 5 Authors: Sylvia Biscoveanu, Colm Talbot, Salvatore Vitale, , | Summary: The binary neutron star (BNS) mass distribution measured with gravitational-wave observations has the potential to reveal information about the dense matter equation of state, supernova physics, the expansion rate of the universe, and tests of General Relativity. As […]

Kavli Affiliate: Wolfgang Tittel | First 5 Authors: Oriol Pietx-Casas, Gustavo Castro do Amaral, Tanmoy Chakraborty, Remon Berrevoets, Thomas Middelburg | Summary: We explore the suitability of a Virtually-Imaged Phased Array (VIPA) as a Spectral-to-Spatial Mode-Mapper (SSMM) for applications in quantum communication such as a quantum repeater. To this end we demonstrate spectrally-resolved two-photon "Hong-Ou-Mandel" […]
Kavli Affiliate: T. Higuchi | First 5 Authors: G. Dujany, K. Adamczyk, L. Aggarwal, H. Aihara, T. Aziz | Summary: In 2019 the Belle II experiment started data taking at the asymmetric SuperKEKB collider (KEK, Japan) operating at the Y(4S) resonance. Belle II will search for new physics beyond the Standard Model by collecting an […]
Kavli Affiliate: Amnon Yariv | First 5 Authors: Bin Zhang, Du Ran, Reuven Ianconescu, Aharon Friedman, Jacob Scheuer | Summary: We present a comprehensive theory for interrogation of the quantum state of a two-level system (TLS) based on a free-electron bound-electron resonant interaction scheme. The scheme comprises free electrons, whose quantum electron wavefunction is pre-shaped […]
Kavli Affiliate: Stephanie Wehner | First 5 Authors: Matthew Skrzypczyk, Stephanie Wehner, , , | Summary: Quantum communication can enhance internet technology by enabling novel applications that are provably impossible classically. The successful execution of such applications relies on the generation of quantum entanglement between different users of the network which meets stringent performance requirements. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: Su Yao, Xiaolong Yang, Minfeng Gu, Tao An, Jun Yang | Summary: The jet in active galactic nuclei (AGN) is a key ingredient in understanding the co-evolution of galaxies and their central supermassive black holes (SMBHs). Unfortunately, the mechanism of jet launching and collimation is still elusive. […]
