Efficiently improving the performance of noisy quantum computers

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Samuele Ferracin, Akel Hashim, Jean-Loup Ville, Ravi Naik, Arnaud Carignan-Dugas | Summary: Using near-term quantum computers to achieve a quantum advantage requires efficient strategies to improve the performance of the noisy quantum devices presently available. We develop and experimentally validate two efficient error mitigation protocols named "Noiseless […]

The EXPRES Stellar Signals Project II. State of the Field in Disentangling Photospheric Velocities

Kavli Affiliate: Andrew Vanderburg | First 5 Authors: Lily L. Zhao, Debra A. Fischer, Eric B. Ford, Alex Wise, Michaël Cretignier | Summary: Measured spectral shifts due to intrinsic stellar variability (e.g., pulsations, granulation) and activity (e.g., spots, plages) are the largest source of error for extreme precision radial velocity (EPRV) exoplanet detection. Several methods […]

Accurate effective fluid approximation for ultralight axions

Kavli Affiliate: Wayne Hu | First 5 Authors: Samuel Passaglia, Wayne Hu, , , | Summary: Ultralight axions are theoretically interesting and phenomenologically rich dark sector candidates, but they are difficult to track across cosmological timescales because of their fast oscillations. We resolve this problem by developing a novel method to evolve them efficiently and […]

A massive AGB donor in Scutum X-1: Identification of the first Mira variable in an X-ray binary

Kavli Affiliate: Robert Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Kishalay De, Deepto Chakrabarty, Roberto Soria, Michael C. B. Ashley, Charlie Conroy | Summary: The symbiotic X-ray binary Sct X-1 was suggested as the first known neutron star accreting from a red supergiant companion. Although known for nearly 50 years, detailed characterization of the donor remains lacking, […]

Mid-infrared Variability of Low-redshift Active Galactic Nuclei : Constraints on a Hot Dust Component with a Variable Covering Factor

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Suyeon Son, Minjin Kim, Luis C. Ho, , | Summary: We utilize mid-infrared multi-epoch data from Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (WISE) over a $sim10$-year period in W1 (3.4$mu$m) and W2 (4.6$mu$m) bands to investigate the structure of dusty torus in low-redshift ($0.15<zle 0.4$) active galactic nuclei […]
