Nonrelativistic CFTs at Large Charge: Casimir Energy and Logarithmic Enhancements

Kavli Affiliate: Simeon Hellerman | First 5 Authors: Simeon Hellerman, Domenico Orlando, Vito Pellizzani, Susanne Reffert, Ian Swanson | Summary: The unitary Fermi gas, by virtue of its description as a nonrelativistic conformal field theory, has proven an interesting system by which the quantum properties of CFT can be held to experimental verification. Here, we […]

TIC 5724661: A Long-Period Binary with a Pulsating sdB Star and $δ$ Scuti Variable

Kavli Affiliate: George Ricker | First 5 Authors: Rahul Jayaraman, Saul Rappaport, Lorne Nelson, Donald W. Kurtz, George Dufresne | Summary: Using the novel TESS 20-sec cadence data, we have discovered an unusual combination of pulsating stars in what we infer to be a binary system. The primary is a standard $delta$ Scuti star with […]

TOI-2109b: An Ultrahot Gas Giant on a 16 hr Orbit

Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Ian Wong, Avi Shporer, George Zhou, Daniel Kitzmann, Thaddeus D. Komacek | Summary: We report the discovery of an ultrahot Jupiter with an extremely short orbital period of $0.67247414,pm,0.00000028$ days ($sim$16 hr). The $1.347 pm 0.047$ $R_{rm Jup}$ planet, initially identified by the Transiting Exoplanet Survey […]

Bridging scales in a multiscale pattern-forming system

Kavli Affiliate: Cees Dekker | First 5 Authors: Laeschkir Würthner, Fridtjof Brauns, Grzegorz Pawlik, Jacob Halatek, Jacob Kerssemakers | Summary: Self-organized pattern formation is vital for many biological processes. Reaction-diffusion models have advanced our understanding of how biological systems develop spatial structures, starting from homogeneity. However, biological processes inherently involve multiple spatial and temporal scales […]

Magnetospheric curvature radiation by bunches as emission mechanism for repeating fast radio bursts

Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | First 5 Authors: Wei-Yang Wang, Yuan-Pei Yang, Chen-Hui Niu, Renxin Xu, Bing Zhang | Summary: Coherent curvature radiation as the radiation mechanism for fast radio bursts (FRBs) has been discussed since FRBs were discovered. We study the spectral and polarization properties of repeating FRBs within the framework of coherent curvature […]

Microscopic Theory of Magnetic Disorder-Induced Decoherence in Superconducting Nb Films

Kavli Affiliate: Kristin A. Persson | First 5 Authors: Evan Sheridan, Thomas F. Harrelson, Eric Sivonxay, Kristin A. Persson, M. Virginia P. Altoé | Summary: The performance of superconducting qubits is orders of magnitude below what is expected from theoretical estimates based on the loss tangents of the constituent bulk materials. This has been attributed […]

Elucidating the local atomic and electronic structure of amorphous oxidized superconducting niobium films

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Thomas F. Harrelson, Evan Sheridan, Ellis Kennedy, John Vinson, Alpha T. N’Diaye | Summary: Qubits made from superconducting materials are a mature platform for quantum information science application such as quantum computing. However, materials-based losses are now a limiting factor in reaching the coherence times needed for […]
