Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Trevor Chistolini, Kyunghoon Lee, Archan Banerjee, Mohammed Alghadeer, Christian Jünger | Summary: Suspending devices on thin SiN membranes can limit their interaction with the bulk substrate and reduce parasitic capacitance to ground. While suspending devices on membranes is used in many fields including radiation detection using superconducting […]
Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Trevor Chistolini, Kyunghoon Lee, Archan Banerjee, Mohammed Alghadeer, Christian Jünger | Summary: Correlated errors in superconducting circuits due to nonequilibrium quasiparticles are a notable concern in efforts to achieve fault tolerant quantum computing. The propagation of quasiparticles causing these correlated errors can potentially be mediated by phonons […]
Kavli Affiliate: John Richardson | Summary:Given the recent impact of Deep Reinforcement Learning in training agents to win complex games like StarCraft and DoTA(Defense Of The Ancients) – there has been a surge in research for exploiting learning based techniques for professional wargaming, battlefield simulation and modeling. Real time strategy games and simulators have become […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Xin-Chi Zhou, Ke Wang, , , | Summary: The critical point of a topological phase transition is described by a conformal field theory (CFT), where the finite-size corrections to the ground state energy are uniquely related to its central charge. We study the finite-size scaling of the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debanjan Chowdhury | Summary:The late-time equilibrium behavior of generic interacting models is determined by the coupled hydrodynamic equations associated with the globally conserved quantities. In the presence of an external time-dependent drive, non-integrable systems typically thermalize to an effectively infinite-temperature state, losing all memory of their initial states. However, in the presence of […]
Kavli Affiliate: Juan I. Collar | Summary:The second "Mineral Detection of Neutrinos and Dark Matter" (MDvDM’24) meeting was held January 8-11, 2024 in Arlington, VA, USA, hosted by Virginia Tech’s Center for Neutrino Physics. This document collects contributions from this workshop, providing an overview of activities in the field. MDvDM’24 was the second topical workshop […]
Kavli Affiliate: Anthony Challinor | Summary:The Simons Observatory (SO), due to start full science operations in early 2025, aims to set tight constraints on inflationary physics by inferring the tensor-to-scalar ratio $r$ from measurements of CMB polarization $B$-modes. Its nominal design targets a precision $σ(r=0) leq 0.003$ without delensing. Achieving this goal and further reducing […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ankit Disa | Summary:Recently, two-dimensional terahertz spectroscopy (2DTS) has attracted increasing attention for studying complex solids. A number of recent studies have applied 2DTS either with long pulses or away from any material resonances, situations that yield unconventional 2DTS spectra that are often difficult to interpret. Here, we clarify the generic origins of […]
