Repeating nuclear transients from repeating partial tidal disruption events: reproducing ASASSN-14ko and AT2020vdq

Kavli Affiliate: Dheeraj R. Pasham | First 5 Authors: Ananya Bandopadhyay, Eric R. Coughlin, C. J. Nixon, Dheeraj R. Pasham, | Summary: Some electromagnetic outbursts from the nuclei of distant galaxies have been found to repeat on months-to-years timescales, and each of these sources can putatively arise from the accretion flares generated through the repeated […]

Correlated states controlled by tunable van Hove singularity in moiré WSe2

Kavli Affiliate: Jie Shan | First 5 Authors: Patrick Knüppel, Jiacheng Zhu, Yiyu Xia, Zhengchao Xia, Zhongdong Han | Summary: Twisted bilayers of transition metal dichalcogenide semiconductors have enabled the discovery of superconductivity, ferromagnetism, correlated insulators and a series of new topological phases of matter. However, the connection between these electronic phases and the underlying […]

Gravitational-Wave Data Analysis with High-Precision Numerical Relativity Simulations of Boson Star mergers

Kavli Affiliate: Ulrich Sperhake | First 5 Authors: Tamara Evstafyeva, Ulrich Sperhake, Isobel Romero-Shaw, Michalis Agathos, | Summary: Gravitational-wave signals detected to date are commonly interpreted under the paradigm that they originate from pairs of black holes or neutron stars. Here, we explore the alternative scenario of boson-star signals being present in the data stream. […]

Quantum-enabled continuous microwave-to-optics frequency conversion

Kavli Affiliate: Mohammad Mirhosseini | First 5 Authors: Han Zhao, William David Chen, Abhishek Kejriwal, Mohammad Mirhosseini, | Summary: A quantum interface between microwave and optical photons is essential for entangling remote superconducting quantum processors. To preserve fragile quantum states, a transducer must operate efficiently while generating less than one photon of noise referred to […]
