The Intrabinary Shock and Companion Star of Redback Pulsar J2215+5135

Kavli Affiliate: Roger W. Romani | First 5 Authors: Andrew G. Sullivan, Roger W. Romani, , , | Summary: PSR J2215+5135 (J2215) is a `redback’ spider pulsar, where the intrabinary shock (IBS) wraps around the pulsar rather than the stellar-mass companion. Spider orbital light curves are modulated, dominated by their binary companion thermal emission in […]

Entanglement-swapping in generalised probabilistic theories, and iterated CHSH games

Kavli Affiliate: David Gross | First 5 Authors: Lionel J. Dmello, Laurens T. Ligthart, David Gross, , | Summary: While there exist theories that have states "more strongly entangled" than quantum theory, in the sense that they show CHSH values above Tsirelson’s bound, all known examples of such theories have a strictly smaller set of […]

Rearrangement collision theory of phonon-driven exciton dissociation

Kavli Affiliate: Jeffrey B. Neaton | First 5 Authors: Christopher J. N. Coveney, Jonah B. Haber, Antonios M. Alvertis, Jeffrey B. Neaton, Marina R. Filip | Summary: Understanding the processes governing the dissociation of excitons to free charge carriers in semiconductors and insulators is of central importance for photovoltaic applications. Dyson’s $mathcal{S}$-matrix formalism provides a […]

Sensitivity and control of a 6-axis fused-silica seismometer

Kavli Affiliate: Richard Mittleman | First 5 Authors: Jiri Smetana, Amit Singh Ubhi, Emilia Chick, Leonid Prokhorov, John Bryant | Summary: We present a pair of seismometers capable of measurement in all six axes of rigid motion. The vacuum-compatible devices implement compact interferometric displacement sensors to surpass the sensitivity of typical electrical readout schemes. Together […]
