Preparation and observation of anomalous counterpropagating edge states in a periodically driven optical Raman lattice

Kavli Affiliate: Long Zhang | First 5 Authors: Hongting Hou, Long Zhang, , , | Summary: Motivated by the recent observation of real-space edge modes with ultracold atoms [Braun et al., Nat. Phys. 20, 1306 (2024)], we investigate the preparation and detection of anomalous counterpropagating edge states — a defining feature of the anomalous Floquet […]

How Does Topology Bias Distort Message Passing? A Dirichlet Energy Perspective

Kavli Affiliate: Dan Luo | First 5 Authors: Yanbiao Ji, Yue Ding, Dan Luo, Chang Liu, Yuxiang Lu | Summary: Graph-based recommender systems have achieved remarkable effectiveness by modeling high-order interactions between users and items. However, such approaches are significantly undermined by popularity bias, which distorts the interaction graph’s structure, referred to as topology bias. […]

Planets Around Solar Twins/Analogs (PASTA) I.: High precision stellar chemical abundance for 17 planet-hosting stars and the condensation temperature trend

Kavli Affiliate: Roland Vanderspek | Summary:The Sun is depleted in refractory elements compared to nearby solar twins, which may be linked to the formation of giant or terrestrial planets. Here we present high-resolution, high signal-to-noise spectroscopic data for 17 solar-like stars hosting planets, obtained with Magellan II/MIKE, to investigate whether this depletion is related to […]

Maximizing Quantum Enhancement in Axion Dark Matter Experiments

Kavli Affiliate: Noah Kurinsky | Summary:We provide a comprehensive comparison of linear amplifiers and microwave photon-counters in axion dark matter experiments. The study is done assuming a range of realistic operating conditions and detector parameters, over the frequency range between 1–30 GHz. As expected, photon counters are found to be advantageous under low background, at […]

‘Weather’ in the LSST Camera: Investigating Patterns in Differenced Flat Images

Kavli Affiliate: Aaron Roodman | Summary:During electro-optical testing of the camera for the upcoming Vera C. Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time, a unique low-signal pattern was found in differenced pairs of flat images used to create photon transfer curves, with peak-to-peak variations of a factor of 10^-3. A turbulent pattern of this […]

Gravitational Waves from Metastable Cosmic Strings in Supersymmetric New Inflation Model

Kavli Affiliate: Satoshi Shirai | Summary:Recent observations by pulsar timing arrays (PTAs) indicate a potential detection of a stochastic gravitational wave (GW) background. Metastable cosmic strings have been recognized as a possible source of the observed signals. In this paper, we propose an $R$-invariant supersymmetric new inflation model. It is characterized by a two-step symmetry […]
