Non-linear optics at twist interfaces in h-BN/SiC heterostructures

Kavli Affiliate: Zhiting Tian | First 5 Authors: Abhijit Biswas, Rui Xu, Gustavo A. Alvarez, Jin Zhang, Joyce Christiansen-Salameh | Summary: Understanding the emergent electronic structure in twisted atomically thin layers has led to the exciting field of twistronics. However, practical applications of such systems are challenging since the specific angular correlations between the layers […]

Imaging 3D Chemistry at 1 nm Resolution with Fused Multi-Modal Electron Tomography

Kavli Affiliate: Ting Xu | First 5 Authors: Jonathan Schwartz, Zichao Wendy Di, Yi Jiang, Jason Manassa, Jacob Pietryga | Summary: Measuring the three-dimensional (3D) distribution of chemistry in nanoscale matter is a longstanding challenge for metrological science. The inelastic scattering events required for 3D chemical imaging are too rare, requiring high beam exposure that […]

The origin of long soft lags and the nature of the hard-intermediate state in black hole binaries

Kavli Affiliate: Tadayuki Takahashi | First 5 Authors: Tenyo Kawamura, Chris Done, Tadayuki Takahashi, , | Summary: Fast variability of the X-ray corona in black hole binaries can produce a soft lag by reverberation, where the reprocessed thermalized disc photons lag behind the illuminating hard X-rays. This lag is small, and systematically decreases with increasing […]

Aspects of higher-point functions in BCFT$_d$

Kavli Affiliate: Xinan Zhou | First 5 Authors: Junding Chen, Xinan Zhou, , , | Summary: We study three-point correlation functions of scalar operators in conformal field theories with boundaries and interfaces. We focus on two cases where there are one bulk and two boundary operators (B$partialpartial$), or two bulk and one boundary operators (BB$partial$). […]

All-microwave and low-cost Lamb shift engineering for a fixed frequency multi-level superconducting qubit

Kavli Affiliate: Gary A. Steele | First 5 Authors: Byoung-moo Ann, Gary A. Steele, , , | Summary: It is known that the electromagnetic vacuum is responsible for the Lamb shift, which is a crucial phenomenon in quantum electrodynamics (QED). In circuit QED, the readout or bus resonators that are dispersively coupled can result in […]

Multi-messenger signals of heavy axionlike particles in core-collapse supernovae: two-dimensional simulations

Kavli Affiliate: Shunsaku Horiuchi | First 5 Authors: Kanji Mori, Tomoya Takiwaki, Kei Kotake, Shunsaku Horiuchi, | Summary: Core-collapse supernovae are a useful laboratory to probe the nature of exotic particles. If axionlike particles (ALPs) are produced in supernovae, they can affect the transfer of energy and leave traces in observational signatures. In this work, […]
