Spin-mixing enhanced proximity effect in aluminum-based superconductor-semiconductor hybrids

Kavli Affiliate: L. P. Kouwenhoven | Summary:In superconducting quantum circuits, aluminum is one of the most widely used materials. It is currently also the superconductor of choice for the development of topological qubits. In this application, however, aluminum-based devices suffer from poor magnetic field compatibility. In this article, we resolve this limitation by showing that […]

Spectra of Cosmic Ray Sodium and Aluminum and Unexpected Aluminum Excess

Kavli Affiliate: Troy Porter | Summary:Since its launch, the Alpha Magnetic Spectrometer-02 (AMS-02) has delivered outstanding quality measurements of the spectra of cosmic-ray (CR) species, $barp$, $e^pm$, and nuclei (H-Si, Fe), which resulted in a number of breakthroughs. The most recent AMS-02 result is the measurement of the spectra of CR sodium and aluminum up […]

Performance evaluation of baseline-dependent averaging based onfull-scale SKA1-LOW simulation

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Qing-Wen Deng, Feng Wang, Hui Deng, Ying Mei, Jing Li | Summary: The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is the largest radio interferometer under construction in the world. Its immense amount of visibility data poses a considerable challenge to the subsequent processing by the science data processor (SDP). […]

Desingularization and p-Curvature of Recurrence Operators

Kavli Affiliate: Yi Zhou | First 5 Authors: Yi Zhou, Mark van Hoeij, , , | Summary: Linear recurrence operators in characteristic $p$ are classified by their $p$-curvature. For a recurrence operator $L$, denote by $chi(L)$ the characteristic polynomial of its $p$-curvature. We can obtain information about the factorization of $L$ by factoring $chi(L)$. The […]

Decision formation in parietal cortex transcends a fixed frame of reference

Kavli Affiliate: Michael N Shadlen | Authors: NaYoung So and Michael N Shadlen | Summary: Neurons in the lateral intraparietal cortex (area LIP) represent the formation of a decision when it is linked to a specific action, such as an eye movement to a choice target. However, these neurons should be unable to represent a […]

The irreducible mass and the horizon area of LIGO’s black holes

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | Summary:The mass of a Kerr black hole can be separated into irreducible and rotational components -the former is a lower limit to the energy that cannot be possibly extracted from the event horizon and is related to its area. Here we compute the irreducible masses of the stellar-mass black holes […]
