Quantum entanglement between optical and microwave photonic qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Srujan Meesala, David Lake, Steven Wood, Piero Chiappina, Changchun Zhong | Summary: Entanglement is an extraordinary feature of quantum mechanics. Sources of entangled optical photons were essential to test the foundations of quantum physics through violations of Bell’s inequalities. More recently, entangled many-body states have been realized […]

Rapid dimming followed by a state transition: a study of the highly variable nuclear transient AT 2019avd over 1000+ days

Kavli Affiliate: Ronald Remillard | First 5 Authors: Yanan Wang, Dheeraj R. Pasham, Diego Altamirano, Andres Gurpide, Noel Castro Segura | Summary: The tidal disruption of a star around a supermassive black hole (SMBH) offers a unique opportunity to study accretion onto a SMBH on a human-timescale. We present results from our 1000+ days NICER, […]

The impact of bias row noise to photometric accuracy: case study based on a scientific CMOS detector

Kavli Affiliate: Hu Zhan | First 5 Authors: Li Shao, Hu Zhan, Chao Liu, Haonan Chi, Qiuyan Luo | Summary: We tested a new model of CMOS detector manufactured by the Gpixel Inc, for potential space astronomical application. In laboratory, we obtain some bias images under the typical application environment. In these bias images, clear […]

Quantum Scars and Caustics in Majorana Billiards

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: R. Johanna Zijderveld, A. Mert Bozkurt, Michael Wimmer, İnanç Adagideli, | Summary: We demonstrate that the classical dynamics influence the localization behaviour of Majorana wavefunctions in Majorana billiards. By using a connection between Majorana wavefunctions and eigenfunctions of a normal state Hamiltonian, we show that Majorana wavefunctions […]

Affine $mathcal{W}$-algebras and Miura maps from 3d $mathcal N=4$ non-Abelian quiver gauge theories

Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | First 5 Authors: Ioana Coman, Myungbo Shim, Masahito Yamazaki, Yehao Zhou, | Summary: We study Vertex Operator Algebras (VOAs) obtained from the H-twist of 3d $mathcal{N}=4$ linear quiver gauge theories. We find that H-twisted VOAs can be regarded as the ”chiralization” of the extended Higgs branch: many of the ingredients […]

SENSEI: First Direct-Detection Results on sub-GeV Dark Matter from SENSEI at SNOLAB

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Crisler | First 5 Authors: SENSEI Collaboration, Prakruth Adari, Itay M. Bloch, Ana M. Botti, Mariano Cababie | Summary: We present the first results from a dark matter search using six Skipper-CCDs in the SENSEI detector operating at SNOLAB. We employ a bias-mitigation technique of hiding approximately 46% of our total data […]
