Effects of Laser-Annealing on Fixed-Frequency Superconducting Qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Irfan Siddiqi | First 5 Authors: Hyunseong Kim, Christian Jünger, Alexis Morvan, Edward S. Barnard, William P. Livingston | Summary: As superconducting quantum processors increase in complexity, techniques to overcome constraints on frequency crowding are needed. The recently developed method of laser-annealing provides an effective post-fabrication method to adjust the frequency of superconducting […]

Strong Second Harmonic Generation from Bilayer Graphene with Symmetry Breaking by Redox-Governed Charge Doping

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Mingwen Zhang, Nannan Han, Jing Wang, Zhihong Zhang, Kaihui Liu | Summary: Missing second-order nonlinearity in centrosymmetric graphene overshadows its intriguing optical attribute. Here, we report redox-governed charge doping could effectively break the centrosymmetry of bilayer graphene (BLG), enabling a strong second harmonic generation (SHG) with a […]

Revealing the Nature of a Lyman-$α$ Halo in a Strongly Lensed Interacting System at $z=2.92$

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Gladders | First 5 Authors: Manuel Solimano, Jorge González-López, Manuel Aravena, Evelyn Johnston, Cristóbal Moya-Sierralta | Summary: Spatially extended halos of H I Ly$alpha$ emission are now ubiquitously found around high-redshift star-forming galaxies. But our understanding of the nature and powering mechanisms of these halos is still hampered by the complex radiative […]

Boson-fermion duality with subsystem symmetry

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Weiguang Cao, Masahito Yamazaki, Yunqin Zheng, , | Summary: We explore an exact duality in $(2+1)$d between the fermionization of a bosonic theory with a $mathbb{Z}_2$ subsystem symmetry and a fermionic theory with a $mathbb{Z}_2$ subsystem fermion parity symmetry. A typical example is the duality between the […]
