Critical properties of quantum three- and four-state Potts models with boundaries polarized along the transverse field

Posted by klaurent Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Natalia Chepiga | First 5 Authors: Natalia Chepiga, , , , | Summary: By computing the low-lying energy excitation spectra with the density matrix renormalization group algorithm we confirm the boundary conformal field theory predictions for the three-state Potts minimal model in 1+1D with boundaries polarized in the direction of the transverse field. […]

Sub-second periodicity in a fast radio burst

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Kiyoshi W. Masui | First 5 Authors: The CHIME/FRB Collaboration, Bridget C. Andersen, Kevin Bandura, Mohit Bhardwaj, P. J. Boyle | Summary: The origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs), millisecond-duration flashes of radio waves that are visible at distances of billions of light-years, remains an open astrophysical question. Here we report the detection […]

Mid-Infrared Cross-Comb Spectroscopy

Posted by klaurent Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Mingchen Liu, Robert M. Gray, Arkadev Roy, Charles R. Markus, Alireza Marandi | Summary: Dual-comb spectroscopy has been proven a powerful tool in molecular characterization, which remains challenging to implement in the mid-infrared (MIR) region due to difficulties in the realization of two mutually locked comb sources […]

XMM-Newton Observes the Intrabinary Shock of PSR J1959+2048

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: D. Kandel, Roger W. Romani, Hongjun An, , | Summary: In a multi-orbit (100 ks) $mathrm{it XMM-Newton}$ exposure of the original black widow pulsar, PSR J1959+2048, we measure the strong orbital modulation caused by intrabinary shock (IBS) emission. The IBS light curve peak appears asymmetric, which […]

An Information-state based Approach to the Optimal Output Feedback Control of Nonlinear Systems

Posted by dbos Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ran Wang | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: This paper develops a data-based approach to the closed-loop output feedback control of nonlinear dynamical systems with a partial nonlinear observation model. We propose an information state based approach to rigorously transform the partially observed problem into a fully observed problem […]

Long-Range Superconducting Proximity Effect in Nickel Nanowires

Posted by klaurent Peking

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Jue Jiang, Weiwei Zhao, Fei Wang, Renzhong Du, Ludi Miao | Summary: When a ferromagnet is placed in contact with a superconductor, owing to incompatible spin order, the Cooper pairs from the superconductor cannot survive more than one or two nanometers inside the ferromagnet. This is confirmed […]

Warming up cold inflation

Posted by klaurent Stanford

Kavli Affiliate: Peter W. Graham | First 5 Authors: William DeRocco, Peter W. Graham, Saarik Kalia, , | Summary: The axion is a well-motivated candidate for the inflaton, as the radiative corrections that spoil many single-field models are avoided by virtue of its shift symmetry. However, axions generically couple to gauge sectors. As the axion […]

Rayleigh wave propagation in nonlinear metasurfaces

Posted by Caltech

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | First 5 Authors: Antonio Palermo, Behrooz Yousefzadeh, Chiara Daraio, Alessandro Marzani, | Summary: We investigate the propagation of Rayleigh waves in a half-space coupled to a nonlinear metasurface. The metasurface consists of an array of nonlinear oscillators attached to the free surface of a homogeneous substrate. We describe, analytically and […]

Modelling correlated variability in accreting black holes: the effect of high density and variable ionisation on reverberation lags

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Erin Kara | First 5 Authors: Guglielmo Mastroserio, Adam Ingram, Jingyi Wang, Javier A. García, Michiel van der Klis | Summary: We present a new release of the RELTRANS model to fit the complex cross-spectrum of accreting black holes as a function of energy. The model accounts for continuum lags and reverberation lags […]
