Structural basis for CaVα2δ:gabapentin binding

Kavli Affiliate: Daniel Minor | Authors: Daniel L Minor, Jr., Zhou Chen and Abhisek Mondal | Summary: Abstract Gabapentinoid drugs for pain and anxiety act on the CaVα2δ-1 and CaVα2δ-2 subunits of high-voltage activated calcium channels (CaV1s and CaV2s). Here, we present the cryo-EM structure of the gabapentin-bound brain and cardiac CaV1.2/CaVβ3/CaVα2δ-1 channel. The data […]

Spin wavepackets in the Kagome ferromagnet Fe$_3$Sn$_2$: propagation and precursors

Kavli Affiliate: Joel Moore | First 5 Authors: Changmin Lee, Yue Sun, Linda Ye, Sumedh Rathi, Kevin Wang | Summary: The propagation of spin waves in magnetically ordered systems has emerged as a potential means to shuttle quantum information over large distances. Conventionally, the arrival time of a spin wavepacket at a distance, $d$, is […]

Effects of the interplay between fermionic interactions and disorders in the nodal-line superconductors

Kavli Affiliate: Jing Wang | First 5 Authors: Wen-Hao Bian, Xiao-Zhuo Chu, Jing Wang, , | Summary: We study the interplay between fermion-fermion interactions and disorder scatterings beneath the superconducting dome of noncentrosymmetric nodal-line superconductors. With the application of renormalization group, several interesting low-energy behaviors are extracted from the coupled equations of all interaction parameters. […]

Controlled crossed Andreev reflection and elastic co-tunneling mediated by Andreev bound states

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Alberto Bordin, Guanzhong Wang, Chun-Xiao Liu, Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf, Grzegorz P. Mazur | Summary: A short superconducting segment can couple attached quantum dots via elastic co-tunneling (ECT) and crossed Andreev reflection (CAR). Such coupled quantum dots can host Majorana bound states provided that the ratio […]

A hybrid quantum photonic interface for $^{171}$Yb solid-state qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Andrei Faraon | First 5 Authors: Chun-Ju Wu, Daniel Riedel, Andrei Ruskuc, Ding Zhong, Hyounghan Kwon | Summary: $^{171}$Yb$^{3+}$ in YVO$_4$ is a promising candidate for building quantum networks with good optical addressability, excellent spin properties and a secondary nuclear-spin quantum register. However, the associated long optical lifetime necessitates coupling to optical resonators […]
