Kavli Affiliate: Cheng Peng | First 5 Authors: , , , , | Summary: Motivated by SYK-like models describing near-BPS black holes in string/M-theory, we consider gauging the U$(1)$ symmetry of the complex SYK model in the presence of a Wilson line with charge $k$. At a fixed background gauge field, solutions to the Schwinger-Dyson […]

Kavli Affiliate: Chiara Daraio | Summary:Natural materials often feature a combination of soft and stiff phases, arranged to achieve excellent mechanical properties, such as high strength and toughness. Many natural materials have even independently evolved to have similar structures to obtain these properties. For example, interlocking structures are observed in many strong and tough natural […]
Kavli Affiliate: Masahito Yamazaki | Summary:We discuss general criteria that could guide us in applying quantum algorithms/computers to problems in high-energy physics. We then discuss the particular example of parton showers with quantum interference. We summarize the basic ideas behind the classical and quantum parton shower Monte Carlo algorithms and highlight the importance of quantum/classical […]
Kavli Affiliate: Renxin Xu | Summary:Using the parity doublet model (PDM) for hadronic matter and a modified Nambu-Jona-Lasinio (NJL) model for quark matter, we investigate the potential existence of two- and three-flavor quark matter in neutron star cores. Both models respect chiral symmetry, and a sharp first-order phase transition is implemented via Maxwell construction. We […]
Kavli Affiliate: Austin Minnich | Summary:Niobium nitride (NbN) is a metallic superconductor that is widely used for superconducting electronics due to its high transition temperature ($T_c$) and kinetic inductance. Processing-induced damage negatively affects the performance of these devices by mechanisms such as microwave surface loss. Atomic layer etching (ALE), with its ability to etch with […]
