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: Brian Lantz | Summary:Control noise is a limiting factor in the low-frequency performance of the LIGO gravitational wave detectors. In this paper we model the effects of using new sensors called HoQIs to control the suspension resonances. We show if we were to use HoQIs, instead of the standard shadow sensors, we can […]
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: 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 […]
