Kavli Affiliate: Anna Frebel | First 5 Authors: Anirudh Chiti, Anna Frebel, Alexander P. Ji, Mohammad K. Mardini, Xiaowei Ou | Summary: We present chemical abundances and velocities of five stars between 0.3 kpc to 1.1 kpc from the center of the Tucana II ultra-faint dwarf galaxy (UFD) from high-resolution Magellan/MIKE spectroscopy. We find that […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Sophia Lilleengen, Michael S. Petersen, Denis Erkal, Jorge Peñarrubia, Sergey E. Koposov | Summary: It has recently been shown that the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) has a substantial effect on the Milky Way’s stellar halo and stellar streams. Here, we explore how deformations of the Milky […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Yi Qiu, Ke Wang, Jian-hua He, , | Summary: We investigate the detectability of gravitational waves (GWs) lensed by a system that consists of binary black holes as lenses using time-domain numerical simulations. The gravitational lensing potential of this system is no longer static but evolves with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel E. Moore | First 5 Authors: Luca Chirolli, Norman Y. Yao, Joel E. Moore, , | Summary: High fidelity quantum information processing requires a combination of fast gates and long-lived quantum memories. In this work, we propose a hybrid architecture, where a parity-protected superconducting qubit is directly coupled to a Majorana qubit, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alireza Marandi | First 5 Authors: Arkadev Roy, Rajveer Nehra, Carsten Langrock, Martin Fejer, Alireza Marandi | Summary: Phase transitions and the associated symmetry breaking are at the heart of many physical phenomena. Coupled systems with multiple interacting degrees of freedom provide a fertile ground for emergent dynamics that is otherwise inaccessible in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | First 5 Authors: Masahiro Ibe, Satoshi Shirai, Motoo Suzuki, Keiichi Watanabe, Tsutomu T. Yanagida | Summary: It is remarkable that the matter fields in the Standard Model (SM) are apparently unified into the $mathrm{SU}(5)$ representations. A straightforward explanation of this fact is to embed all the SM gauge groups into […]
Kavli Affiliate: Wei Gao | First 5 Authors: DRHBc Mass Table Collaboration, Cong Pan, Myung-Ki Cheoun, Yong-Beom Choi, Jianmin Dong | Summary: The aim of this work is to extend the deformed relativistic Hartree-Bogoliubov theory in continuum (DRHBc) based on the point-coupling density functionals to odd-$A$ and odd-odd nuclei and examine its applicability by taking […]

Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: Cheng Peng, Jia Tian, Yingyu Yang, , | Summary: We study "half-wormhole-like" saddle point contributions to spectral correlators in a variety of ensemble average models, including various statistical models, generalized 0d SYK models, 1d Brownian SYK models and an extension of it. In statistical ensemble models, where […]
