Accept-reject decision-making revealed via a quantitative and ethological study of C. elegans foraging

Kavli Affiliate: Sreekanth Chalasani | Authors: Jessica A Haley, Tianyi Chen, Mikio Aoi and Sreekanth H Chalasani | Summary: Decision-making is a ubiquitous component of animal behavior that is often studied in the context of foraging. Foragers make a series of decisions while locating food (food search), choosing between food types (diet or patch choice), […]

Hardware-efficient quantum error correction using concatenated bosonic qubits

Kavli Affiliate: Oskar Painter | First 5 Authors: Harald Putterman, Kyungjoo Noh, Connor T. Hann, Gregory S. MacCabe, Shahriar Aghaeimeibodi | Summary: In order to solve problems of practical importance, quantum computers will likely need to incorporate quantum error correction, where a logical qubit is redundantly encoded in many noisy physical qubits. The large physical-qubit […]

Quantum resources of quantum and classical variational methods

Kavli Affiliate: Eliska Greplova | First 5 Authors: Thomas Spriggs, Arash Ahmadi, Bokai Chen, Eliska Greplova, | Summary: Variational techniques have long been at the heart of atomic, solid-state, and many-body physics. They have recently extended to quantum and classical machine learning, providing a basis for representing quantum states via neural networks. These methods generally […]

Chiral superfluidity of helium-3 in the quasi-two-dimensional limit

Kavli Affiliate: Jeevak M. Parpia | First 5 Authors: Petri J. Heikkinen, Lev V. Levitin, Xavier Rojas, Angadjit Singh, Nathan Eng | Summary: Anisotropic pair breaking close to surfaces favors chiral superfluid $^3$He-A over time-reversal invariant $^3$He-B. Confining superfluid $^3$He into a cavity of height $D$ of the order of the Cooper pair size characterized […]

Lateral prefrontal cortex controls interplay between working memory and actions

Kavli Affiliate: Anastasia Kiyonaga | Authors: Anastasia Kiyonaga, Jacob Miller and Mark D’Esposito | Summary: Humans must often keep multiple task goals in mind, at different levels of priority and immediacy, while also interacting with the environment. We might need to remember information for an upcoming task while engaged in more immediate actions. Consequently, actively […]

BASS. XLIII: Optical, UV, and X-ray emission properties of unobscured Swift/BAT active galactic nuclei

Kavli Affiliate: Claudio Ricci | First 5 Authors: Kriti K. Gupta, Claudio Ricci, Matthew J. Temple, Alessia Tortosa, Michael J. Koss | Summary: We present one of the largest multiwavelength studies of simultaneous optical-to-X-ray spectral energy distributions (SEDs) of unobscured active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the local Universe. Using a representative sample of hard-X-ray-selected AGN […]
