Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Yang Xu, Kaifei Kang, Kenji Watanabe, Takashi Taniguchi, Kin Fai Mak | Summary: Moir’e materials with flat electronic bands provide a highly controllable quantum system for studies of strong-correlation physics and topology. In particular, angle-aligned heterobilayers of semiconducting transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with large band offset realize […]
Kavli Affiliate: Sven Herrmann | First 5 Authors: Rainer Kaltenbaek, Markus Arndt, Markus Aspelmeyer, Peter F. Barker, Angelo Bassi | Summary: The objective of the proposed MAQRO mission is to harness space for achieving long free-fall times, extreme vacuum, nano-gravity, and cryogenic temperatures to test the foundations of physics in macroscopic quantum experiments. This will […]
Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Ruijin Liu, Cheng Peng, Xiaoling Cui, , | Summary: We study the emergence of universal tetramer and pentamer bound states in the two-dimensional $(N+1)$ system, which consists $N$ identical heavy fermions interacting with a light atom. We show that the critical heavy-light mass ratio to support a […]
Kavli Affiliate: C. L. Kuo | First 5 Authors: P. M. Chichura, A. Foster, C. Patel, N. Ossa-Jaen, P. A. R. Ade | Summary: We present the first measurements of asteroids in millimeter wavelength (mm) data from the South Pole Telescope (SPT), which is used primarily to study the cosmic microwave background (CMB). We analyze […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yingjie Peng | First 5 Authors: Jingjing Shi, Yingjie Peng, Benedikt Diemer, Adam R. H. Stevens, Annalisa Pillepich | Summary: Black hole feedback has been widely implemented as the key recipe to quench star formation in massive galaxies in modern semi-analytic models and hydrodynamical simulations. As the theoretical details surrounding the accretion and […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Li-Hsin Chen, Mattis Magg, Tilman Hartwig, Simon C. O. Glover, Alexander P. Ji | Summary: We study the stellar mass-to-halo mass relation at $z=0$ in 30 Milky Way-like systems down to the ultra-faint ($M_* < 10^5 M_odot$) regime using the semi-analytic model A-SLOTH. A new model […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Menglu Yu, Ye Tian, Bo Ji, Chuan Wu, Hridesh Rajan | Summary: Fueled by advances in distributed deep learning (DDL), recent years have witnessed a rapidly growing demand for resource-intensive distributed/parallel computing to process DDL computing jobs. To resolve network communication bottleneck and load balancing issues in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | Summary:Optomechanical crystals provide coupling between phonons and photons by confining them to commensurate wavelength-scale dimensions. We present a new concept for designing optomechanical crystals capable of achieving unprecedented coupling rates by confining optical and mechanical waves to deep sub-wavelength dimensions. Our design is based on a dielectric bowtie unit cell […]
Kavli Affiliate: Robert Wood | First 5 Authors: Kaitlyn Becker, Clark Teeple, Nicholas Charles, Yeonsu Jung, Daniel Baum | Summary: Grasping, in both biological and engineered mechanisms, can be highly sensitive to the gripper and object morphology, as well as perception, and motion planning. Here we circumvent the need for feedback or precise planning by […]
