A relativistic model of b-EMRI systems and their gravitational radiation

Kavli Affiliate: Xian Chen | First 5 Authors: Yucheng Yin, Josh Mathews, Alvin J. K. Chua, Xian Chen, | Summary: A binary extreme-mass-ratio inspiral (b-EMRI) is a hierarchical triple system consisting of a stellar-mass binary black hole (BBH) orbiting a central Kerr supermassive black hole (SMBH). Although predicted by several astrophysical models, b-EMRIs pose a […]

Autoionization-enhanced Rydberg dressing by fast contaminant removal

Kavli Affiliate: Nelson Darkwah Oppong| Summary:Rydberg dressing is a powerful tool for entanglement generation in long-lived atomic states. While already employed effectively in several demonstrations, a key challenge for this technique is the collective loss triggered by blackbody-radiation-driven transitions to contaminant Rydberg states of opposite parity. We demonstrate the rapid removal of such contaminants using […]

Dubrovin conjecture and the second structure connection

Kavli Affiliate: Todor Milanov | Summary:We give a reformulation of the Dubrovin conjecture about the semisimplicity of quantum cohomology in terms of the so-called second structure connection of quantum cohomology. The key ingredient in our work is the notion of a twisted reflection vector which allows us to give an elegant description of the monodromy […]
