Fault-tolerant correction-ready encoding of the [[7,1,3]] Steane code on a 2D grid

Posted by dbos Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Andrea Rodriguez-Blanco, Ho Nam Nguyen, K. Birgitta Whaley, , | Summary: Practical quantum computation heavily relies on the ability to perform quantum error correction in a fault-tolerant manner. Fault-tolerant encoding is a critical first step, and careful consideration of the error correction cycle that follows is essential […]

Understanding the Baryon Cycle: Fueling Star Formation via Inflows in Milky Way-like Galaxies

Posted by klaurent MIT

Kavli Affiliate: Mark Vogelsberger | First 5 Authors: Filippo Barbani, Raffaele Pascale, Federico Marinacci, Paul Torrey, Laura V. Sales | Summary: Galaxies are not isolated systems; they continuously interact with their surroundings by ejecting gas via stellar feedback and accreting gas from the environment. Understanding the interplay between outflows from the disc and the surrounding […]

Identifying biases of the Majorana scattering invariant

Posted by dbos Delft

Kavli Affiliate: Michael Wimmer | First 5 Authors: Isidora Araya Day, Antonio L. R. Manesco, Michael Wimmer, Anton R. Akhmerov, | Summary: The easily accessible experimental signatures of Majorana modes are ambiguous and only probe topology indirectly: for example, quasi-Majorana states mimic most properties of Majoranas. Establishing a correspondence between an experiment and a theoretical […]

Towards Calibrating Financial Market Simulators with High-frequency Data

Posted by klaurent Berkeley

Kavli Affiliate: Feng Wang | First 5 Authors: Peng Yang, Junji Ren, Feng Wang, Ke Tang, | Summary: The fidelity of financial market simulation is restricted by the so-called "non-identifiability" difficulty when calibrating high-frequency data. This paper first analyzes the inherent loss of data information in this difficulty, and proposes to use the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test […]

Effects of chemically homogeneous evolution of the first stars on the 21-cm signal and reionization

Posted by klaurent Cambridge

Kavli Affiliate: George Efstathiou | First 5 Authors: Boyuan Liu, Daniel Kessler, Thomas Gessey-Jones, Jiten Dhandha, Anastasia Fialkov | Summary: The first generation of stars, known as Population III (Pop III), played a crucial role in the early Universe through their unique formation environment and metal-free composition. These stars can undergo chemically homogeneous evolution (CHE) […]
