Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Sebastiaan L. D. ten Haaf, Yining Zhang, Qingzhen Wang, Alberto Bordin, Chun-Xiao Liu | Summary: A chain of quantum dots (QDs) coupled via semiconductor-superconductor hybrid regions can form an artificial Kitaev chain hosting Majorana bound states (MBSs). These zero-energy states are expected to be localised on the […]
Kavli Affiliate: Jia Liu | First 5 Authors: Joaquin Armijo, Gabriela A. Marques, Camila P. Novaes, Leander Thiele, Jessica A. Cowell | Summary: We use Minkowski functionals to analyse weak lensing convergence maps from the first-year data release of the Subaru Hyper Suprime-Cam (HSC-Y1) survey. Minkowski functionals provide a description of the morphological properties of […]
Kavli Affiliate: David H. Shoemaker | First 5 Authors: Kathryne J. Daniel, Joshua R. Smith, Stefan Ballmer, Warren Bristol, Jennifer C. Driggers | Summary: Cosmic Explorer (CE) is a next-generation ground-based gravitational-wave observatory that is being designed in the 2020s and is envisioned to begin operations in the 2030s together with the Einstein Telescope in […]
Kavli Affiliate: Gregory D. Fuchs | First 5 Authors: Qin Xu, Gregory D. Fuchs, , , | Summary: We propose two geometries to realize a significant beam splitter interaction (XZ coupling) between magnons and a 2D microwave cavity mode. In both setups the cavity is analogous to the mechanical oscillator in a conventional optomechanical setup. […]
Kavli Affiliate: Ke Wang | First 5 Authors: Kunyan Zhang, Rinu Abraham Maniyara, Yuanxi Wang, Arpit Jain, Maxwell T. Wetherington | Summary: Harnessing quantum interference among bosons provides significant opportunities as bosons often carry longer coherence time than fermions. As an example of quantum interference, Fano resonance involving phonons or photons describes the coupling between […]
Kavli Affiliate: Debora Sijacki | First 5 Authors: Tibor Dome, Sergio Martin-Alvarez, Sandro Tacchella, Yuxuan Yuan, Debora Sijacki | Summary: We study star formation variability, or burstiness, as a method to constrain and compare different galaxy formation models at high redshift using the Azahar simulation suite. The models range from magneto-hydrodynamics with a magneto-thermo-turbulent prescription […]
Kavli Affiliate: John D. Silverman | First 5 Authors: Takumi S. Tanaka, John D. Silverman, Yurina Nakazato, Masafusa Onoue, Kazuhiro Shimasaku | Summary: The current paradigm for the co-evolution of galaxies and their supermassive black holes postulates that dust-obscured active galactic nuclei (AGNs) represent a transitional phase towards a more luminous and unobscured state. However, […]
Kavli Affiliate: Alexander P. Ji | First 5 Authors: Anya E. Nugent, Alexander P. Ji, Wen-fai Fong, Hilay Shah, Freeke van de Voort | Summary: Neutron star (NS) mergers are currently the only observed source of r-process production in the Universe. Yet, it is unclear how much r-process mass from these mergers is incorporated into […]
Kavli Affiliate: Richard Huganir | Authors: Kevin Chen, Junhua Yang, Bian Liu, Chaohua Jiang, Nicholas Koylass, Zhe Zhang, Shuying Sun, Richard L. Huganir and Zhaozhu Qiu | Summary: Endosomal homeostasis is critical for neuronal function, including the post-synaptic trafficking of α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid receptors (AMPARs). Dynamic AMPAR trafficking is a major component of synaptic plasticity, such […]
Kavli Affiliate: Yifan Cheng | Authors: Mingliang Jin, Robert Seed, Tiffany Shing, Yifan Cheng and Stephen Nishimura | Summary: The multifunctional cytokine TGF-β is produced in a latent form (L-TGF-β) where a RGD containing homodimeric prodomain forms a “ring” encircling mature TGF-β shielding it from its receptors. Thus L-TGF-β must be activated to function, a […]
