Kavli Affiliate: Rana X. Adhikari | First 5 Authors: Yuexun Huang, Francisco Salces–Carcoba, Rana X Adhikari, Amir H. Safavi-Naeini, Liang Jiang | Summary: The vacuum beam guide (VBG) presents a completely different solution for quantum channels to overcome the limitations of existing fiber and satellite technologies for long-distance quantum communication. With an array of aligned […]
Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: H Perry Hatchfield, Cara Battersby, Ashley T. Barnes, Natalie Butterfield, Adam Ginsburg | Summary: In this work, we constrain the star-forming properties of all possible sites of incipient high-mass star formation in the Milky Way’s Galactic Center. We identify dense structures using the CMZoom 1.3mm dust […]
Kavli Affiliate: Joel Moore | First 5 Authors: Yuri Alexeev, Maximilian Amsler, Paul Baity, Marco Antonio Barroca, Sanzio Bassini | Summary: Computational models are an essential tool for the design, characterization, and discovery of novel materials. Hard computational tasks in materials science stretch the limits of existing high-performance supercomputing centers, consuming much of their simulation, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Brian Nord | First 5 Authors: Maggie Voetberg, Brian Nord, , , | Summary: Modern astronomical surveys have multiple competing scientific goals. Optimizing the observation schedule for these goals presents significant computational and theoretical challenges, and state-of-the-art methods rely on expensive human inspection of simulated telescope schedules. Automated methods, such as reinforcement learning, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Yuan | First 5 Authors: Biaoyan Hu, Yingying Peng, Xiaoqiang Liu, Qizhi Li, Qiangqiang Gu | Summary: We investigate a spin-$frac{1}{2}$ antiferromagnet, CuBr$_2$, which has quasi-one-dimensional structural motifs. The system has previously been observed to exhibit unusual Raman modes possibly due to a locally deformed crystal structure driven by the low-dimensional magnetism. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Edward W. Kolb | First 5 Authors: Edward W. Kolb, Andrew J. Long, , , | Summary: Cosmological gravitational particle production (CGPP) is the creation of particles in an expanding universe due solely to their gravitational interaction. These particles can play an important role in the cosmic history through their connection to various […]
Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Chen Peng, Long Zhang, , , | Summary: Quenched randomness strongly affects properties of magnetic materials. Two-dimensional (2D) random singlet (RS) states emerge in random $J$-$Q$ model by destroying valence bond solid order with spatial randomness. We examine the 2D RS state in magnetic field with quantum […]
Kavli Affiliate: Tim H. Taminiau | First 5 Authors: Raffi Budakian, Amit Finkler, Alexander Eichler, Martino Poggio, Christian L. Degen | Summary: The field of nanoscale magnetic resonance imaging (NanoMRI) was started 30 years ago. It was motivated by the desire to image single molecules and molecular assemblies, such as proteins and virus particles, with […]
Kavli Affiliate: Michael P. Brenner | First 5 Authors: Qian-Ze Zhu, Chrisy Xiyu Du, Ella M. King, Michael P. Brenner, | Summary: Designing components that can robustly self-assemble into structures with biological complexity is a grand challenge for material science. Proofreading and error correction is required to improve assembly yield beyond equilibrium limits, using energy […]
