TESS Giants Transiting Giants II: The hottest Jupiters orbiting evolved stars

Kavli Affiliate: Alan M. Levine | First 5 Authors: Samuel K. Grunblatt, Nicholas Saunders, Meng Sun, Ashley Chontos, Melinda Soares-Furtado | Summary: Giant planets on short-period orbits are predicted to be inflated and eventually engulfed by their host stars. However, the detailed timescales and stages of these processes are not well known. Here we present […]

All-optical ultrafast ReLU function for energy-efficient nanophotonic deep learning

Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Gordon H. Y. Li, Ryoto Sekine, Rajveer Nehra, Robert M. Gray, Luis Ledezma | Summary: In recent years, the computational demands of deep learning applications have necessitated the introduction of energy-efficient hardware accelerators. Optical neural networks are a promising option; however, thus far they have been largely […]

Closing the spontaneous-scalarization window with binary pulsars

Kavli Affiliate: Lijing Shao | First 5 Authors: Junjie Zhao, Paulo C. C. Freire, Michael Kramer, Lijing Shao, Norbert Wex | Summary: Benefitting from the unequaled precision of the pulsar timing technique, binary pulsars are important testbeds of gravity theories, providing some of the tightest bounds on alternative theories of gravity. One class of well-motivated […]

Reconstructing the polar interface of infinite-layer nickelate thin films

Kavli Affiliate: Lena F. Kourkoutis | First 5 Authors: Berit H. Goodge, Benjamin Geisler, Kyuho Lee, Motoki Osada, Bai Yang Wang | Summary: Nickel-based superconductors provide a long-awaited experimental platform to explore possible cuprate-like superconductivity. Despite similar crystal structure and $d$ electron filling, these systems exhibit several differences. Nickelates are the most polar layered oxide […]

Systematic exploration of heavy element nucleosynthesis in protomagnetar outflows

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Nick Ekanger, Mukul Bhattacharya, Shunsaku Horiuchi, , | Summary: We study the nucleosynthesis products in neutrino-driven winds from rapidly rotating, highly magnetised and misaligned protomagnetars using the nuclear reaction network SkyNet. We adopt a semi-analytic parameterized model for the protomagnetar and systematically study the capabilities of its […]

A pair of Sub-Neptunes transiting the bright K-dwarf TOI-1064 characterised with CHEOPS

Kavli Affiliate: George R. Ricker | First 5 Authors: Thomas G. Wilson, Elisa Goffo, Yann Alibert, Davide Gandolfi, Andrea Bonfanti | Summary: We report the discovery and characterisation of a pair of sub-Neptunes transiting the bright K-dwarf TOI-1064 (TIC 79748331), initially detected in TESS photometry. To characterise the system, we performed and retrieved CHEOPS, TESS, […]

Many-body Hilbert space scarring on a superconducting processor

Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Pengfei Zhang, Hang Dong, Yu Gao, Liangtian Zhao, Jie Hao | Summary: Quantum many-body scarring (QMBS) — a recently discovered form of weak ergodicity breaking in strongly-interacting quantum systems — presents opportunities for mitigating thermalization-induced decoherence in quantum information processsing. However, the existing experimental realizations of QMBS […]
