Early development of direction selectivity in higher visual cortex

Kavli Affiliate: Kristina Nielsen | Authors: Dallas C Khamiss, Augusto A Lempel, Brandon R Nanfito and Kristina Juliane Nielsen | Summary: A fundamental aspect of visual motion processing is the computation of motion direction. In ferrets, as in primates, selectivity for motion direction is found both in early cortical stages like the primary visual cortex […]

Complementary Probes of Gravitational Radiation States

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: We demonstrate that the statistical fluctuations in resonant radiation detectors operating in homodyne and heterodyne modes offers additional, complementary information to that obtained from their direct operation as click detectors. We use this to refine tests of the […]

Probing Quantum Structure in Gravitational Radiation

Kavli Affiliate: Frank Wilczek | First 5 Authors: Sreenath K. Manikandan, Frank Wilczek, , , | Summary: Gravitational radiation from known astrophysical sources is conventionally treated classically. This treatment corresponds, implicitly, to the hypothesis that a particular class of quantum-mechanical states — the so-called coherent states — adequately describe the gravitational radiation field. We propose […]

Truly Confining Supersymmetric Gauge Theories

Kavli Affiliate: Hitoshi Murayama | First 5 Authors: Riku Ishikawa, Hitoshi Murayama, Shota Saito, , | Summary: We classify “truly confining” (t-confining) supersymmetric gauge theories, in which no center charges can be screened, and Wilson loops in the fundamental representation are therefore expected to exhibit an area law. In all cases, we identify the condensation […]

A Cosmic Miracle: A Remarkably Luminous Galaxy at $z_{rm{spec}}=14.44$ Confirmed with JWST

Kavli Affiliate: Robert A. Simcoe | First 5 Authors: Rohan P. Naidu, Pascal A. Oesch, Gabriel Brammer, Andrea Weibel, Yijia Li | Summary: JWST has revealed a stunning population of bright galaxies at surprisingly early epochs, $z>10$, where few such sources were expected. Here we present the most distant example of this class yet — […]

Prototype sub-wavelength structure anti-reflection coating on alumina filters for ground-based CMB telescopes

Kavli Affiliate: Tomotake Matsumura | First 5 Authors: Kosuke Aizawa, Ryosuke Akizawa, Scott Cray, Shaul Hanany, Shotaro Kawano | Summary: We present designs and fabrication of sub-wavelength anti-reflection (AR) structures on alumina for infrared absorptive filters with passbands near 30, 125, and 250 GHz. These bands are widely used by ground-based instruments measuring the cosmic […]

Determining the utility of ultrafast nonlinear contrast enhanced and super resolution ultrasound for imaging microcirculation in the human small intestine

Kavli Affiliate: Biao Huang | First 5 Authors: Clotilde ViĆ©, Martina Tashkova, James Burn, Matthieu Toulemonde, Jipeng Yan | Summary: The regulation of intestinal blood flow is critical to gastrointestinal function. Imaging the intestinal mucosal micro-circulation in vivo has the potential to provide new insight into the gut physiology and pathophysiology. We aimed to determine […]

Beyond real: Alternative unitary cluster Jastrow models for molecular electronic structure calculations on near-term quantum computers

Kavli Affiliate: Birgitta Whaley | First 5 Authors: Nikolay V. Tkachenko, Hang Ren, Wendy M. Billings, Rebecca Tomann, K. Birgitta Whaley | Summary: Near-term quantum devices require wavefunction ans"atze that are expressive while also of shallow circuit depth in order to both accurately and efficiently simulate molecular electronic structure. While unitary coupled cluster (e.g., UCCSD) […]
