Warm Hawking Relics From Primordial Black Hole Domination

Kavli Affiliate: Gordan Z. Krnjaic | First 5 Authors: Christopher J. Shallue, Julian B. Muñoz, Gordan Z. Krnjaic, , | Summary: We study the cosmological impact of warm, dark-sector relic particles produced as Hawking radiation in a primordial-black-hole-dominated universe before big bang nucleosynthesis. If these dark-sector particles are stable, they would survive to the present […]

Optical Investigations of Coherence and Relaxation Dynamics of a Thulium-doped Yttrium Gallium Garnet Crystal at sub-Kelvin Temperatures for Optical Quantum Memory

Kavli Affiliate: Wolfgang Tittel | Summary:Rare-earth ion-doped crystals are of great interest for quantum memories, a central component in future quantum repeaters. To assess the promise of 1$%$ Tm$^3+$-doped yttrium gallium garnet (Tm:YGG), we report measurements of optical coherence and energy-level lifetimes of its $^3$H$_6$ $leftrightarrow$ $^3$H$_4$ transition at a temperature of around 500 mK […]

The Size-luminosity Relation of the AGN Torus Determined from the Comparison between Optical and Mid-infrared Variability

Kavli Affiliate: Luis C. Ho | First 5 Authors: Minjin Kim, Suyeon Son, Luis C. Ho, , | Summary: We investigate the optical variability of low-redshift ($0.15< zleq0.4$) active galactic nuclei using the multi-epoch data from the Zwicky Transient Facility. We find that a damped random walk model well describes the ensemble structure function in […]

Coherent Erbium Spin Defects in Colloidal Nanocrystal Hosts

Kavli Affiliate: Paul Alivisatos | Summary:We demonstrate nearly a microsecond of spin coherence in Er3+ ions doped in cerium dioxide nanocrystal hosts, despite a large gyromagnetic ratio and nanometric proximity of the spin defect to the nanocrystal surface. The long spin coherence is enabled by reducing the dopant density below the instantaneous diffusion limit in […]

SSNVC: Single Stream Neural Video Compression with Implicit Temporal Information

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Feng Wang, Haihang Ruan, Zhihuang Xie, Ronggang Wang, Xiangyu Yue | Summary: Recently, Neural Video Compression (NVC) techniques have achieved remarkable performance, even surpassing the best traditional lossy video codec. However, most existing NVC methods heavily rely on transmitting Motion Vector (MV) to generate accurate contextual features, […]
