Estimating the effective lifetime of the $zsim6$ quasar population from the composite proximity zone profile

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Karna A. Morey, Anna-Christina Eilers, Frederick B. Davies, Joseph F. Hennawi, Robert A. Simcoe | Summary: The lifetime of quasars can be estimated by means of their proximity zone sizes, which are regions of enhanced flux bluewards of the Lyman-$alpha$ emission line observed in the rest-frame […]

High-fidelity three-qubit iToffoli gate for fixed-frequency superconducting qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Yosep Kim, Alexis Morvan, Long B. Nguyen, Ravi K. Naik, Christian Jünger | Summary: The development of noisy intermediate-scale quantum (NISQ) devices has extended the scope of executable quantum circuits with high-fidelity single- and two-qubit gates. Equipping NISQ devices with three-qubit gates will enable the realization of […]

Event Extraction by Associating Event Types and Argument Roles

Kavli Affiliate: Lihong Wang | First 5 Authors: Qian Li, Shu Guo, Jia Wu, Jianxin Li, Jiawei Sheng | Summary: Event extraction (EE), which acquires structural event knowledge from texts, can be divided into two sub-tasks: event type classification and element extraction (namely identifying triggers and arguments under different role patterns). As different event types […]

Anarchic Federated Learning

Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Haibo Yang, Xin Zhang, Prashant Khanduri, Jia Liu, | Summary: Present-day federated learning (FL) systems deployed over edge networks consists of a large number of workers with high degrees of heterogeneity in data and/or computing capabilities, which call for flexible worker participation in terms of timing, effort, […]

A 20-Second Cadence View of Solar-Type Stars and Their Planets with TESS: Asteroseismology of Solar Analogs and a Re-characterization of pi Men c

Kavli Affiliate: Roland K. Vanderspek | First 5 Authors: Daniel Huber, Timothy R. White, Travis S. Metcalfe, Ashley Chontos, Michael M. Fausnaugh | Summary: We present an analysis of the first 20-second cadence light curves obtained by the TESS space telescope during its extended mission. We find a precision improvement of 20-second data compared to […]

Search for dark-photon dark matter in the SuperMAG geomagnetic field dataset

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: Michael A. Fedderke, Peter W. Graham, Derek F. Jackson Kimball, Saarik Kalia, | Summary: In our recent companion paper [arXiv:2106.00022], we pointed out a novel signature of ultralight kinetically mixed dark-photon dark matter. This signature is a quasi-monochromatic, time-oscillating terrestrial magnetic field that takes a particular […]

Confluence in quantum K-theory of weak Fano manifolds and q-oscillatory integrals for toric manifolds

Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | Summary:For a smooth projective variety whose anti-canonical bundle is nef, we prove confluence of the small $K$-theoretic $J$-function, i.e., after rescaling appropriately the Novikov variables, the small $K$-theoretic $J$-function has a limit when $qto 1$, which coincides with the small cohomological $J$-function. Furthermore, in the case of a Fano toric […]

Tomographic Imaging by a Si/CdTe Compton Camera for In-111 and I-131 Radionuclides

Kavli Affiliate: Tadashi Orita | Summary:Tomographic imaging with radionuclides commonly used in nuclear medicine, such as $^111$In (171 and 245 keV) and $^131$I (364 keV), is in high demand for medical applications and small animal imaging. The Si/CdTe Compton camera with its high angular and high energy resolutions is an especially promising detector to extend […]

Demonstration of universal control between non-interacting qubits using the Quantum Zeno effect

Kavli Affiliate: K. Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Eliya Blumenthal, Chen Mor, Asaf A. Diringer, Leigh S. Martin, Philippe Lewalle | Summary: The Zeno effect occurs in quantum systems when a very strong measurement is applied, which can alter the dynamics in non-trivial ways. Despite being dissipative, the dynamics stay coherent within any degenerate […]
