Nuclear spin-wave quantum register for a solid state qubit

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Andrei Ruskuc, Chun-Ju Wu, Jake Rochman, Joonhee Choi, Andrei Faraon | Summary: Solid-state nuclear spins surrounding individual, optically addressable qubits provide a crucial resource for quantum networks, computation and simulation. While hosts with sparse nuclear spin baths are typically chosen to mitigate qubit decoherence, developing coherent quantum […]

SynthIA: A Synthetic Inversion Approximation for the Stokes Vector Fusing SDO and Hinode into a Virtual Observatory

Kavli Affiliate: J. Todd Hoeksema | Summary:Both NASA’s Solar Dynamics Observatory (SDO) and the JAXA/NASA Hinode mission include spectropolarimetric instruments designed to measure the photospheric magnetic field. SDO’s Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) emphasizes full-disk high-cadence and good spatial resolution data acquisition while Hinode’s Solar Optical Telescope Spectro-Polarimeter (SOT-SP) focuses on high spatial resolution and […]

Infrared dielectric functions and Brillouin zone center phonons of $α$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ compared to $α$-Al$_2$O$_3$

Kavli Affiliate: Debdeep Jena | First 5 Authors: Megan Stokey, Rafal Korlacki, Matthew Hilfiker, Sean Knight, Steffen Richter | Summary: We determine the anisotropic dielectric functions of rhombohedral $alpha$-Ga$_2$O$_3$ by far-infrared and infrared generalized spectroscopic ellipsometry and derive all transverse optical and longitudinal optical phonon mode frequencies and broadening parameters. We also determine the high […]

Topological quantum interference in a pumped Su-Schrieffer-Heeger lattice

Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Zeng-Zhao Li, Juan Atalaya, K. Birgitta Whaley, , | Summary: Topological quantum interference emerges from the interplay between quantum mechanics and topology. We present evidence for two types of such interference phenomenon that can result from the quantum dynamics of initial topological states. We realize both […]

TOI-1518b: A Misaligned Ultra-hot Jupiter with Iron in its Atmosphere

Kavli Affiliate: Edward Morgan | Summary:We present the discovery of TOI-1518b — an ultra-hot Jupiter orbiting a bright star $V = 8.95$. The transiting planet is confirmed using high-resolution optical transmission spectra from EXPRES. It is inflated, with $R_p = 1.875pm0.053,R_rm J$, and exhibits several interesting properties, including a misaligned orbit ($240.34^+0.93_-0.98$ degrees) and nearly […]

Towards a Realistic Model of Dark Atoms to Resolve the Hubble Tension

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Nikita Blinov, Gordan Krnjaic, Shirley Weishi Li, , | Summary: It has recently been shown that a subdominant hidden sector of atomic dark matter in the early universe can resolve the Hubble tension while maintaining good agreement with most precision cosmological observables. However, such a solution requires […]
